Lil’ Red told everyone a bit about Ou Yangming’s deeds. Each of them was like a myth.
Mysterious Golden Pills that could help one break through to the law boundary?
Being able to smith an Acquired Taoist Tool?
On top of that, he had the formidable strength of a mighty figure in the third step…
“Is that guy even human?” An elder of the Phoenixes raised his eyes and looked at the closed door in front of him again with a shocked look.
At this moment, the great ancestor also admitted that he had made the right choice to compromise. If he fought with Ou Yangming, he might lose the entire Phoenixes.
“Feng Lin, you still haven’t told me how you broke through to the second step,” Feng Xiang continued to ask.
Just now, Lil’ Red had only told them how he broke through to the law boundary. He had not finished talking about the rest of the topic.
Lil’ Red continued, “I broke through to the second step in the Flaming Abyss. Lil’ Ming and I entered the Flaming Abyss and first met a vermillion bird.”
“A vermillion bird?” Everyone was shocked.
That was one of the divine beasts of ancient times. They were once an enemy of the Phoenixes. How could there be a vermillion bird in the forbidden area of the Phoenixes?
The Phoenixes’ great ancestor nodded and said, “There are records in our ancient books. There was once a formidable powerhouse among our ancestors who captured a vermillion bird and imprisoned its soul in the Flaming Abyss. He used it to protect the heroic spirits of our ancestors from being disturbed. The one you met should be that vermillion bird.”
“Mm.” Lil’ Red nodded. “That vermillion bird was very powerful. Lil’ Ming said that it was already in the third step, but only its soul was left. That bird wanted to sneak an attack on us, Lil’ Ming crushed it to death.”
“That vermillion bird in the third step was crushed to death…”
Hearing Lil’ Red’s words, the elders of the Phoenixes felt their scalps go numb.
Fortunately, the Phoenixes and Ou Yangming still had some relations. Otherwise, their fate would not have been much different from that of the vermillion bird.
“Then, we found King Kong and Goshawk. They were in a cave, heavily injured and unconscious. As they had the protection of a Fire-repelling Bead, they were lucky to survive. However, the bead has reached its limit. If we were a step late, they would’ve died.”
Lil’ Red also knew how dangerous it had been. If they had delayed for a moment and waited for the Fire-repelling Bead to explode before going down, King Kong and the goshawk would have been engulfed by the surrounding flames.
‘Luckily, luckily,’ the Phoenixes’ great ancestor also said silently in his heart.
“Fire-repelling Beads are our most precious treasures. Not many people have them, so how could they have one?” An elder asked.
Feng Mu walked out and said guiltily, “That Fire-repelling Bead is mine. When Feng Xinxiao attacked us, I had a premonition that they’d also be in danger, so I gave the bead to King Kong. I didn’t expect…”
“Elder Feng Mu, you’ve done a good thing,” the other elders said in astonishment.
The great ancestor also nodded and said, “Feng Mu, you’ve done well in this matter.”
Everyone knew that this Fire-repelling Bead was the thing that played the key role. Without it, those 2 spirit beasts that were only Venerable Ones would have been instantly devoured by the Flaming Abyss. At that time, the grudge between them and Ou Yangming would not be resolved.
Lil’ Red saw that everyone had quietened down. Only then did she continue, “When we brought King Kong and the goshawk out, we encountered a ball of fire. When that fire flew to my side, I felt a familiar feeling from it. I fused it into my body, and my power of law evolved. Later on, I found out that that flame was the natal true flame left behind by a senior named Huang.”
Everyone finally understood how Lil’ Red had broken through to the second step.
This was a little surprising. To be able to break through to the second step after fusing with a small flame, this was too exaggerated. The elders present all had powers of laws. They had worked hard to cultivate for countless years, but there were still no signs of improvement. The law boundary was already the limit of the Phoenixes. If they were to go any further, they would need extraordinary talent.
“Huang?” Most of the people present had never heard of this name. When had their race ever produced such a peerless supreme powerhouse?
Only the Phoenixes’ great ancestor had a look of shock on his face when he heard this name. His gaze was solemn as he asked, “Feng Lin, are you sure that senior’s name is Huang?”
Seeing the great ancestor’s expression, everyone was shocked. Could it be that the phoenix senior had some extraordinary background?
Lil’ Red nodded seriously and said, “I’m sure that’s his name. Not only were there a few divine abilities in his natal flame, but there was also an introduction from that senior. He was once a supreme powerhouse equal to heaven.”
“Equal to heaven!”
All the elders looked at Lil’ Red in shock.
The Phoenixes had once had supreme existence equal to Heaven, but why had he not appeared? Was such a powerhouse not invincible? Would he also fall? Or had he gone to a place they did not know of?
Under everyone’s gazes, Lil’ Red suddenly revealed a powerful aura.
The purple flames on his body burned wildly, and the domineering aura of a king was faintly discernible. This was the aura left behind by the powerhouse in the Heavenly Rank.
At this time, the great ancestor’s expression became serious. He shifted his gaze away from Lil’ Red and looked at everyone as he said, “From today onward, Feng Lin is the king of the Phoenixes. His words represent mine, and everyone must obey his orders.”
“Yes, Great Ancestor,” all the elders said in unison.
Everyone felt that it was natural for Feng Lin to obtain this identity. He was formidable and was already in the second step. Furthermore, he had obtained the inheritance of a Heavenly Rank powerhouse. Additionally, he possessed the strongest purple fire of the Phoenixes. His potential and strength were sufficient for him to take up the throne of the Phoenixes’ king.
What Feng Xinxiao failed to do was done by Lil’ Red. It was even acknowledged by everyone this time.
The phoenixes outside gradually dispersed.
In a bright room in the backyard, Ou Yangming was nervously refining pills.
King Kong and the goshawk’s conditions were very serious. They had to rely on pills to wake up again. It would be fine if only their bodies were injured but more than half of their souls had been burned too. This was a very troublesome problem. Fortunately, there was a kind of high-level alchemy path in the Truth of Alchemy that could be used to treat them.
The Seven Orifices Recovery Pill!
Flames surged within the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. Ou Yangming carefully refined the pill step by step according to the Truth of Alchemy.
After an hour, a silver-white pill flew out from the flames. The pill was only the size of a soybean, much smaller than what was described in the book.
This kind of pill could be considered a failure. Ou Yangming did not waste it and called out the Swift Tortoise from the poisonous pill’s world.
The Swift Tortoise immediately picked up the fragrance of the pill. It narrowed its eyes and showed a flattering smile on its face.
After breaking through to the peak of a Venerable One, its IQ had also increased a lot. At least it already understood how to flatter others.
The worries in its heart had also gradually disappeared after being with Ou Yangming for a long time. Its master was so powerful, so he would not lack a meal of turtle meat. As long as it performed well, it could still be saved.
“It’s yours.” Ou Yangming threw the pill over.
The tortoise tilted its head and swallowed the pill that Ou Yangming threw over. Its speed was shockingly fast.
Only then did Ou Yangming remember that he did not slow down just now. With the speed that he threw out just now, even a powerhouse in the law boundary might not be able to catch it.
The Swift Tortoise’s speed was getting faster. It had also become a top-grade Venerable One. If it ate a Golden Core…
At this time, it was digesting the pill that it had just swallowed. Suddenly, it looked at Ou Yangming. Its head shrunk as if it had sensed his malicious intentions.
Of course, the injuries of King Kong and the goshawk were still important.
Ou Yangming did not think too much about it. Seeing that the Swift Tortoise did not show any side effects after eating the pill, he immediately refined the pill again.
This time, he was even more skilled than the last time.
Ou Yangming also deliberately increased the amount of the pill. The Earth’s Demolition Cauldron was an Innate Spirit Treasure. When he melted the spiritual medicines, they would be refined to be even purer, and the impurities that could not be removed from the other pill furnaces would be removed completely. It was because of this that the pill just now was a size smaller.
Very soon, another Seven Orifices Recovery Pill came out of the furnace.
This time, Ou Yangming did not give it to the Swift Tortoise. Instead, he put it back into his pocket and continued the next.
He had to refine 2 pills.
Fortunately, the spiritual herbs prepared by the great ancestor of the Phoenixes were sufficient. Even refining 5 or 6 pills would not be a problem.
After half a day had passed, Ou Yangming finally prepared the 2 Seven Orifices Recovery Pills. First, he put the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron back into his body. Then, he returned to the poisonous pill’s world.
The poisonous pill’s world had undergone great changes. In the sky, the shattered space created by the Nine-sworded Ruler had disappeared. With Ou Yangming’s improvement, the space here had become even more solid. It was a pity that the spiritual Qi was still too scarce. It could not even be compared to that of a small world. This was something that could not be helped. The poisonous pill’s world only had one young spiritual vein, so he could not ask too much of her.
After Ou Yangming entered, Fat Antelope, Big Huang, and Wutong all walked over.
There was also Old Craftsman, Ni Yinghong, and the others. They were all in the poisonous pill’s world. They had lived here for more than half a year.
After not seeing Ou Yangming let them out for a long time, they were also somewhat anxious.
“Sir, what happened to King Kong and Goshawk?” Wu Tong asked.
Ou Yangming said in a deep voice, “They were plotted against by an enemy.”
“Who’s so bold? When I get out, I’ll definitely kill him!”
A powerful force appeared on Wutong’s body. Ou Yangming was slightly surprised. He said, “Wutong, you’re about to regain your freedom.”
“It’s all thanks to you, Master, and Lil’ Red,” Wutong said gratefully.
Ou Yangming had not been able to sense Wutong’s strength before, but he could see it clearly at this time. If the sealing bark on Wutong’s body completely disintegrated, it would probably be in the third step of a conferred Ruler.
“Lil’ Ming, what’s wrong? Are you alright?”Ni Yinghong walked over and asked.
The others were also worried. Ou Yangming had not come in for half a year, so he must have encountered some trouble.
“I’ll explain to you later. I’ll save King Kong and Goshawk first.” Ou Yangming squatted down.
