“Are you sure? The opportunity hasn’t started yet. Moreover, this is only the periphery of Fallen Phoenix Hill.”
“Anyone else can make a mistake, but not me. Moreover, that old thing, Feng Jiu, hates the human race the most. Do you think that he would be kind enough to specially set up an inheritance for the human race before he died?”
Hearing the sword spirit’s confident tone, Victor nodded his head and no longer refuted.
In any case, the phoenix blood essence was enough to raise his strength to another level. As for the opportunity, he did not want it.
After all, Victor did not have the confidence to win against the current number one candidate among the crowd, Xiao Chengqian, and the daughter of the Yan Emperor, Yan Qingxin!
“I have a plan.”
“Tell me.”
“When the opportunity starts and the crowd leaves, we will work together to take the blood essence and leave Fallen Phoenix Hill.”
“Rejected.”
“Why?”
Victor was a little confused.
The sword spirit was never a greedy existence. Why did it reject his suggestion this time?
“You are too cautious. Little did you know that this opportunity was actually prepared for you alone.”
Hearing this, Victor was slightly puzzled.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s very simple. You think that the Phoenix Burning Sky Technique is a technique created by the human race?”
“Is it not?”
“Hehe, the human race is intelligent, but they don’t have the ability.”
The sword spirit chuckled and continued, “The Phoenix Burning Sky technique, the White Tiger Glazed technique, the Green Dragon Life Form Technique, and the Big Tortoise Armor Technique, all of them were created by me. Where did the human race even contribute?”
Hearing this, Victor’s face was filled with shock!
“Are you saying that all of these cultivation techniques were passed down to the Qingyun Sect by you?”
“Yes and no.”
“Speak clearly.”
“Some things are tainted by karma and are not at a level that you can come into contact with right now. Knowing too much is not good for you. In short, you only need to understand that after obtaining the opportunity left behind by Feng Jiu, breaking through to the core formation realm won’t be a problem.”
Victor appeared to be a little hesitant.
Being able to break through to the core formation realm was naturally the best. It would also provide him with a lot of confidence for his upcoming trip to the Central Plains.
However, at this moment, with tens of thousands of people fighting for it, and with the two monsters, Xiao Chenggan and Yan Qingxin, Victor did not have full confidence in fighting for the opportunity.
However, things had already come to this point, so he could only give it his all!
“In that case, we will enter after we get the phoenix essence blood.
“I want to keep this part of the essence blood for my own use. The opportunity will belong to you.”
“Deal.”
Victor did not ask too much. After all, after spending two days with the sword spirit, Victor knew that the Green Dragon Sword Spirit in his body was definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface. If he asked too much, he might end up being hated on instead.
If he could really obtain the opportunity, so what if he had to give away a portion of the blood essence?
With that thought in mind, Victor slowed down his footsteps and allowed the crowd to overtake him, falling at the end of the line.
At the same time, at the front of the team, Yan Qingxin and Xiao Chenggan gradually arrived at the center of the Fallen Phoenix Hill under the flattery of the crowd.
Although the opportunity had not started yet, the place was already getting hotter and hotter. In the late autumn, the scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the heat waves were bizarre.
“Crown Prince Xiao, I’ve long heard of your great name. I wonder if you’re confident about this trip to Fallen Phoenix Hill?”
At the right time, a Central Plains cultivator opened his mouth and asked in puzzlement.
“Opportunity belongs to the fated person. Whether you can obtain it or not depends on heaven’s will.”
Xiao Chenggan answered as such and immediately revealed a light smile.
Gentle and elegant, his white clothes fluttering in the wind, he truly lived up to his reputation.
Xiao Chenggan, the son of the Xiao family, had always been known for his talent and kindness. It seemed that this was indeed the case.
“What you said is right. Father has ordered me to come and experience the world’s heroes. As for the opportunity, it is not that important.”
Xiao Chenggan and Yan Qingxin spoke one sentence each. Victor had basically figured out their temperaments.
First was Xiao Chenggan. Regardless of whether he was a hypocrite or a true villain, he gave Victor a pretty good impression.
As for Yan Qingxin.
Perhaps it was because of Emperor Yan’s doting, although she did not say much, Victor could still hear a hint of bossiness in her words.
However, what did this have to do with him?
Everyone present could be considered to be Victor’s competitor. Rather than racking his brains to befriend them, it was better to think about how to fight for the opportunity.
With that thought in mind, Victor took the initiative to send a voice transmission to the sword spirit.
“You said that I have a unique advantage and can take the upper hand. However, don’t the Xiao family and the Yan Emperor have any trump cards to rely on?”
“Hmm… it’s not unreasonable for you to be worried. However, you can rest assured that regardless of whether it’s the Xiao family or the Yan Emperor, Feng Jiu didn’t have any relationship with them when he was alive, and would definitely not leave behind any inheritance for them. Moreover, with my help, there’s no need to worry.”
Hearing up to here, Victor’s worried heart finally settled down.
Not long after, the crowd in front of him suddenly started to stir. Victor held his breath and focused his attention. Only then did he vaguely hear that it was as if an opportunity had opened up. The entrance was right in front of him.
However, unlike the crowd, Victor consciously retreated until he returned to where the true phoenix blood essence was.
“Are you ready? When the crowd disperses, I will take the initiative to draw the true phoenix blood essence into your body. At that time, it might be a little painful.”
“No worries.”
Victor shook his head, unbothered.
On the road of cultivation, pain was inevitable.
It was better to experience pain and torture now than to die one day.
The sword spirit could empathize with Victor’s thoughts.
It had to be said that Victor’s temperament was definitely the most tenacious temperament the sword spirit had seen in all these years.
It was precisely this tenacity that made it to choose Victor.
Gradually, the crowd had basically entered the land of opportunity. Only a few scattered people were making final preparations.
After confirming that no one were looking at them, Victor nodded and prepared to draw the true phoenix blood essence into his body.
“Let go of all distracting thoughts and focus on my vital essence! Prepare to draw the true phoenix blood essence.”
“Alright!”
Victor grunted and his mind went blank. There was only one thought in his mind, that was to draw the blood essence into his body!
Gradually, the hard ground began to melt. Scorching tongues of fire spewed out, and the ground melted into boiling lava!
Under the lava, Victor could clearly sense that a surge of blood essence that contained a huge amount of vital essence was escaping!
A true phoenix would never die and would be reborn from the flames!
The blood essence of a true phoenix also contained the magic of a true phoenix!
However…
When the sword spirit released its aura and drew the blood essence of a true phoenix into its body, Victor’s body froze as if he was struck by lightning!
“You lied to me! This is not just a little bit of pain!”
Victor gritted his teeth and his face turned red as he let out a heart-wrenching roar!
At this moment, he was suffering a pain that was no less than the burning of the Phoenix Burning Sky Technique!
Soon, Victor’s skin was charred and was as black as charcoal!
He sat cross-legged on the spot, his aura getting weaker and weaker, and he seemed to not be breathing!
