From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

Then the bamboo forest parted, revealing a narrow path. The fragrance of the verdant bamboo, like a cool breeze, carried away Princess Tianxiang's anxiety and unease, bringing her peace of mind.

"Enter."

Taking a deep breath, Princess Tianxiang, sensing the extraordinary abilities of this senior, gave her maid a look, signaling her not to speak recklessly no matter what happened later.

Only then did they step into the bamboo forest. The bamboo path meandered, and a few rays of sunlight shone through the gaps, revealing a peaceful and serene atmosphere everywhere.

After walking another hundred or so steps, a quaint little building with the characteristics of the ancient Phoenix Clan comes into view. Its four sides are openwork and decorated only with light blue gauze.

A cool breeze lifted the gauze curtain.

In a fleeting glimpse, Princess Tianxiang saw the appearance of the master of this place: long, ice-blue hair trailing to the ground, and a phoenix feather headdress indicating that he was an ice phoenix.

His handsome and refined features and temperament made this eight-thousand-year-old "Little Fire Phoenix," who rarely left the Phoenix Palace, realize for the first time the charm of the Phoenix Clan men.

For a moment, he was stunned.

The owner here was none other than Mr. Wang. With a wave of his sleeve, the long zither on the low table in front of him disappeared and was replaced by a spirit tea of ​​excellent quality.

Princess Tianxiang and her maidservants automatically took their seats opposite him, as if they had been moved to different places.

Only then did Wang Yu speak, "The Fire Phoenix lineage?"

Tianxiang was stunned and speechless.

It took a while to realize that water and fire are incompatible, and the same goes for ice and fire. In the history of the Phoenix Clan, the Fire Phoenix and the Ice Phoenix have never gotten along well.

In particular, the Ice Phoenix lineage's ancestor, "Blue Phoenix," died at the hands of the Fire Phoenix lineage's ancestor, "Phoenix." There are many secrets surrounding this, which are now difficult to investigate, but the animosity between the two lineages was thus established.

For a long time, until the Phoenix Clan completely withdrew from the main stage of the cultivation world, they gradually disappeared and were no longer known to the world.

This left Tianxiang at a loss for words.

Wang Yu saw through her worries: "No need to overthink it. The Phoenix Clan is weak. Dwelling on those old grudges now is just making trouble for yourself. Tell me the purpose of your trip."

"Your wisdom is profound!"

Princess Tianxiang's eyes lit up. She thought that the esteemed member of her clan who chose to live in seclusion was indeed magnanimous. Without such a mindset, he probably wouldn't have chosen to seclude himself.

But the real challenge for her is figuring out how to persuade the other party.

"I have a request for your help on this trip, senior. Of course, it is definitely not free."

"What happened at the Phoenix Palace?"

"Senior knows?"

Wang Yu nodded: "A minor hermit lives in the wilderness, a major hermit lives in the city. Seclusion and self-imposed isolation are two different things. The end of the era is approaching, and my little secret realm cannot escape it. It is time to open it. My eyes and ears are still useful."

"That makes things much easier, senior... I would like to ask you to teach me for a period of time and impart the Phoenix Clan's divine abilities so that I can participate in the Heavenly Dragon Assembly and prove to the Palace Master that my Heavenly Fragrance Clan is not just a pawn with the value of marriage alliances!"

These words left Wang Yu somewhat speechless.

He asked suspiciously.

"Your bloodline memories do not contain any of my clan's cultivation techniques or supernatural abilities?"

"This……"

Princess Tianxiang gave an awkward smile.

"Yes, I do have it, but when I was young and weak, I couldn't understand it, so I didn't bother to memorize it. When my cultivation was sufficient to understand it, the Palace Master sealed my bloodline, forcing me to walk my own path before I could learn it."

"As a result, he was chosen by a True Dragon Dao Child of the Dragon Court. The Palace Master did not want things to turn out badly, so he used a secret method to completely seal off the inherited memories."

"--absurd!"

Wang Yu snorted coldly and couldn't help but flick his sleeve to express his anger.

In social interactions, it's best to avoid speaking too intimately with someone you don't know well. So, Wang Yu initially only wanted to get a chance to go to the Heavenly Dragon Assembly, but now it seems he can take things a step further.

They sent Princess Tianxiang to the Phoenix Clan in the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Realm.

This is not an overreaction.

Instead, he recalled the Black Phoenix Princess he had met in the Void Rift. Although it was a fabricated history, Wang Yu always felt that there was a great secret within it.

He received the opportunity from Princess Black Phoenix to comprehend the Phoenix Stele.

There was already good karma between him and the Phoenix Clan. As the saying goes, good karma leads to good results. Helping them out is nothing, and it's just something he's willing to do!

Since the Phoenix Goddess Palace Master is so undisguised...

Presumably unafraid of Princess Tianxiang's resistance, upon realizing this, a beam of icy blue divine light suddenly surged from between Wang Yu's brows and rushed into Tianxiang's Niwan Palace.

Upon seeing this, the maid was shocked and desperate to save her mistress, but before she could act, Princess Tianxiang grabbed her hand.

She shook her head and said, "Senior is just checking my body, don't stress."

Not long after.

Divine light emanated from Tianxiang's brow and returned to Wang Yu's body.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly caught sight of the peacock maidservant beside him. A thought suddenly struck him, and with a wave of his hand, he sent her out of the small building, shielding her from all five senses.

"senior?"

Wang Yu shook his head.

"It is a great taboo to speak too frankly with someone you don't know well, but since you have come to me for help, I cannot turn a blind eye. The restriction in your body is the Five Elements Feather Restriction of the Peacock lineage."

Princess Tianxiang's pupils contracted.

"Peacock...you mean the Palace Master's true form is a peacock? Then..."

"Your maid is most likely her spy, keeping an eye on your every move. The Phoenix Goddess Palace Master probably already knows about your trip to the Bamboo Sea Secret Realm."

"Wouldn't I be harming my senior?"

Princess Tianxiang was pale, clearly unable to accept that her close relatives, whom she had spent every day with and even regarded as sisters, were approaching her with a mission.

Wang Yu disregarded her emotional changes and spoke frankly.

"The Five Elements Feather Restriction requires mastery of the Five Elements Dao Fruit and familiarity with the Phoenix Clan's heritage to be lifted. Unfortunately, I have lived long enough and am also proficient in the Five Elements Dao."

Princess Tianxiang was startled upon hearing this.

"Senior, can you solve this?"

“It can be solved, but not now. The Yinglong Realm is only a month's journey from the Phoenix God Palace. With the abilities of a third-step True Immortal, and the Phoenix Clan's expertise in spatial arts, it would only take them one step to get here.”

"If you rashly lift the restriction, the Phoenix God Palace Master will surely come in person. This restriction not only seals your bloodline inheritance but also confines you to the Ancient Demon Immortal Realm. Your Palace Master Master is truly ruthless."

"So, participating in the Heavenly Dragon Tournament is still my only option?"

Wang Yu listened and then spoke with a pointed remark.

"From what you're saying, if the restrictions could be lifted, your first choice wouldn't be to participate in the Heavenly Dragon Tournament to prove yourself, but rather... to go to another realm?"

"Correct."

Princess Tianxiang's face was full of bitterness.

"What good is it to participate in the conference and get a good ranking? You still have to serve the Dragon Court. With the nature of those lecherous dragons, they'll probably be noticed by some big shot again."

"All I ask for is for the Palace Master to look up to me and regard me as an outstanding figure like 'Senior Nine Phoenixes', so that I can become a true immortal seed in the palace. In this way, I can receive the Palace Master's protection and no longer have to worry about being abandoned to the Dragon Court."

"I see, you've thought it through quite clearly."

Princess Tianxiang shook her head.

"Since you are powerless to help, senior, I am not ungrateful. Just pretend I never came."

"and many more."

Seeing that she was about to leave.

Wang Yu finally smiled: "Not lifting the restriction doesn't mean I can't help you. I also know a thing or two about the Fire Phoenix inheritance. Are you willing to learn it?"

"Really?" "Of course."

Princess Tianxiang still seemed hesitant, and she said with a blush.

"It has only been a few years since the start of the Heavenly Dragon Tournament. The time is too short. Only by using the Phoenix Clan's unique Nirvana Technique can one achieve something. This has caused great harm to the senior."

"The magic method of Nirvana?"

Wang Yu hesitated. He knew about this thing; it was in the Ice Phoenix bloodline memory inheritance. As everyone knows, Phoenix Nirvana is a unique talent unique to the Phoenix Clan.

In ancient times, the Phoenix Clan relied on its ability to be reborn from the ashes to defeat one powerful enemy after another. Even if they died and their essence vanished, their remains could be transformed into phoenix eggs, giving birth to new phoenixes with the same bloodline.

It is both extinction and rebirth.

Therefore, the Phoenix Clan had been growing steadily until a certain generation when the possibility of Nirvana failure arose, after which it began to decline and its numbers rapidly decreased.

In Wang Yu's understanding, the most likely reason is that some kind of "mysterious factor" necessary for nirvana has been exhausted in the process of rebirth.

The recovery rate cannot keep up with the consumption rate.

Thus, the Nirvana attempt failed. After obtaining the Nirvana Dao Fruit, Wang Yu realized that it was a unique primordial life force belonging to the phoenix.

The Nirvana Method involves two phoenix eggs entering a "pseudo-Nirvana state" engaging in intercourse using a special method, allowing them to open their bodies and minds for deep communication.

Individual phoenixes who have also comprehended the Dao Fruit of Nirvana can complement each other due to their different profound mysteries, and can rapidly increase the profound mysteries of several Dao Fruits in just a few years.

of course.

前提是两者的涅槃道果玄妙不相同，就能起到3+3等于6，或者4+4等于8的超规格实力跃升。

Wang Yu's control over himself is close to perfect.

It can achieve a dominant position by only opening up content related to Nirvana and the path to enlightenment.

but!

This was quite risky for him. If other unforeseen circumstances occurred, it could very likely lead to failure in Nirvana, severe damage to his origin, or even complete loss of the Nirvana fruit.

But seeing the other person's hesitant and stammering appearance...

My heart suddenly softened.

That's enough.

"Since you have offered to undergo Nirvana together with me, a friend you have just met, it seems that the True Dragon Child is quite annoying."

This scene.

Just like a fairy from a past life, who would rather give herself to a stranger than to a simp, it feels so damn familiar.

Wang Yu's Nirvana Dao Fruit is the most basic of the Five Mysteries.

That is, [Rebirth/Phoenix/Life/Recovery/Phoenix]. Among them, Rebirth and Phoenix overlap with the Nirvana Dao Fruit effect of Princess Tianxiang, as a Mahayana Perfection cultivator.

She had only just condensed her Dao Fruit, and her understanding of it was limited to the three most basic techniques. The technique she shared with Wang Yu was called "Phoenix Perch," which was an auxiliary technique that increased the success rate of Nirvana.

After being reborn alongside Wang Yu, there is a high probability that he will directly achieve the Six Profound Dao Fruits. At that time, Wang Yu will lend him the True Dragon Jade, and there is a high probability that he will be able to pass through the first three tribulations in one go.

Perhaps, they can really achieve a good ranking in the demon race track of the Heavenly Dragon Tournament.

"Senior, have you agreed?"

"Ah."

Next, Wang Yu sealed off the Bamboo Sea Secret Realm, arranged for the peacock maid to be far away, and set up a large number of restrictions and formations.

He took Princess Tianxiang through the Jianmu altar in the cave within his body and left the Yinglong Realm directly. This was a clever escape plan to prevent the rebirth process from being disturbed.

Finally, in the void near the venue of the Heavenly Dragon Conference, the Nine Dragon Realm, they opened up another secret space, rearranged their defenses, and prepared for Nirvana.

…………

…………

Two and a half years later.

Mr. Wang, who often felt like he had become a ruthless pile-driving machine, got up from the warm and soft embrace and shook his wet hair.

With his comprehension, Yi Kun Nian, who was immersed in Nirvana, actually comprehended another profound Nirvana technique, named [Si Ming], which is the same name as the ancient demon's inheritance.

The effect was also consistent: it granted cultivators a tenacious life force that made them almost immortal, and this was also transferred to Princess Tianxiang.

In other words, this woman rose to prominence in one step, enjoying the benefits brought by Wang Yu's "cheat code," and actually completed the comprehension of the seven mysteries of Nirvana Dao Fruit in one go.

At this level, we need to prepare well for the future.

Reaching the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage is not difficult. In fact, due to the mysterious gaps brought about by the breakthrough in the Tribulation Transcending stage, one can easily achieve the supreme Tribulation Transcending stage with nine mysteries.

The possibility of ascending to immortality was magnified to the extreme.

And the fact that they were able to quickly move on to the second step is a chain reaction caused by the combination of their clan's inherent strength and encountering someone like Wang Yu. Fate is truly a wondrous thing.

at that time.

Inside a giant fiery phoenix egg, the two, who had been honest with each other, exchanged a glance and both felt a great sense of gain from this experience, especially Tianxiang.

During her Nirvana, she most deeply felt the terrifying level of Wang Yu's comprehension; in a short period of time, he had comprehended another profound Dao fruit.

Furthermore, because of their closed-off nature, their openness is incomplete.

Tianxiang could sense how powerful Wang Yu was. With such talent, he was practically born for cultivation. This time, she had really gained a great advantage.

The initial attraction stemming from appearance and demeanor gradually reached its peak during the two and a half years of physical and emotional connection. It's just a pity that after witnessing the vastness of mountains, one realizes one's own insignificance.

She would not force the other person because of matters of chastity.

There was never such a saying in the cultivation world, and she was the one who benefited greatly. Overjoyed, she felt even closer to and more in agreement with Wang Yu.

"The Heavenly Dragon Tournament is about to begin, it's time for us to set off."

"Your maid?"

"Let her stay in Yinglong Realm by herself. If this trip goes smoothly, I would like to invite you to join the Phoenix God Palace."

"Oh, so you're treating me like one of your own now?"

Princess Tianxiang rolled her eyes at him.

During their time together, she realized that Wang Yu was not as cold and aloof as he appeared on the outside; deep down, he was very active and youthful, like a child over a thousand years old.

"The workings of fate are truly wondrous. I wonder what those powerful beings who have mastered the Dao of Cause and Effect think about the matter of cause and effect."

"Hmm, probably about the same as you."

"When the blue sky is revealed, some choose to kneel in worship, while others remain passionate and steadfast in their beliefs."

"After the Heavenly Dragon Assembly, come here to find me, and I will take you away from the Ancient Demon Immortal Realm."

Tianxiang looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Are you so sure the Palace Master won't help me?"

"Who can say what the future holds? I say, why don't you go and witness it for yourself? Then you'll have your own understanding. When you go to the Celestial Realm, you can help me out."

Tianxiang narrowed her eyes.

"It sounds like it was planned a long time ago."

"Hahaha, it's time to go."

at the same time.

Water, clouds, and sky.

The deity who was in seclusion had her cheeks terribly red. Heaven knows what she had gone through in the past two and a half years. The constant stream of pleasant sensations coming from her Heavenly Heart almost made her lose her mind.

"—Wang Yu!!!" (End of Chapter)
