The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 236 Phoenix Egg

"Of course I'm going to the Heavenly God Academy! Why wouldn't I go? I still have a Heaven-Mending Seed. If I don't find someone to take it over, am I just going to let it rot in my hands?" Chen Wu said casually.

"The seed to mend the sky?"

The witch exclaimed, automatically ignoring the idea of ​​"taking over".

Patching the Sky, Intercepting the Sky... These two names were so extraordinary that they made her think of something.

Even if the witch racked her brains, she would never have guessed that the Heaven-Mending Seed and the Heaven-Severing Seed were originally one entity, both closely related to Chen Wu. In addition, there was another human race that had not yet appeared.

These three elements combined together form the supreme Dao seed that will last for all time.

When this seed fully matures one day, it will be the time when Chen Wu transcends the state of the Heavenly Heart and Holy Spirit, extending his influence from Heaven to humanity.

At that time, he will be reborn for the sixth time.

"You're not going to give the Heaven-Mending Seed to that woman, are you? There's quite a bit of entanglement between her and Shi Hao." The witch asked expectantly.

"Guess again?" Chen Wu asked with great interest.

He knew that the witch was referring to Qingyi. The two of them had fought tooth and nail and were fierce rivals.

Of course, the witch's main target was actually Yuechan, since the two were backed by the Jietian Sect and the Butian Sect respectively, and were naturally on opposite sides.

As Yuechan's alternate incarnation, Qingyi was merely an innocent bystander who suffered the consequences.

"It's up to you whether you give it to her or not. Anyway, I will beat her and prove that I am the ultimate victor."

As she spoke, the witch clenched her little fists, her fighting spirit high.

"Oh, then I look forward to your performance." Chen Wu nodded slightly. "Let's go, let's move forward."

……

The two continued their journey, enduring wind and rain, traveling day and night, together heading towards the final borderland imperial city.

Along the way, we crossed vast oceans, traversed eerie ancient battlefields, and flew over terrifying seas of lava.

They encountered danger many times along the way, but Chen Wu never intervened, letting the witch bear it all alone, and she eventually survived.

After traveling millions of miles, a majestic and imposing mountain suddenly appeared before the two of them.

Its height is unknown, only the peak can be seen soaring into the clouds, adjacent to the stars beyond the realm.

"what?"

The witch opened her third eye and found that it was far too huge, not like a mountain at all, but rather like a continent, only shaped like a mountain, standing in a sea of ​​lava, and barren of all vegetation, a gray expanse.

Phoenix Mountain!
The witch was surprised to see these three ancient characters on the mountainside. She immediately showed a strange expression and said, "Oh my, it's actually related to the True Phoenix."

The True Phoenix was one of the Ten Fierce Beings, once invincible in heaven and earth, the bravest of all races, and known as an immortal being.

Especially in this place, where lava flows and converges into a sea, it inspires endless imagination.

"Legend has it that the phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes, which perfectly matches the environment here. Why don't we go up and take a look?" The witch cautiously sought Chen Wu's opinion.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wu glanced at her, and she immediately understood, saying, "Alright, I'll lead the way. If there's any danger, come after me."

So the two of them started climbing the mountain together.

And the witch, just as she had said, took the lead and paved the way ahead.

Phoenix Mountain is just like a continent. When you get close and look down, it rises from the sea of ​​lava and soars into the clouds. It feels so magnificent.

The magnificence of the supermountain is fully displayed at this moment.

"An ancient city?"

Upon reaching the summit, the landscape was surprisingly flat, and there stood a massive city, easily leading one to believe that this might be the ancient city of Zhenhuang.

It should be noted that pure-blooded phoenixes once lived in the celestial land, so seeing their remains is not a rare occurrence.

"There are so many sycamore trees. Maybe it really is related to the phoenix."

The witch was amazed. She saw many sycamore trees in the city. Although they had all died long ago, they were still immortal, shining with a luster as if they were cast from metal.

It was just too quiet inside, lifeless, with no trace of any living creatures.

"Wait a minute, something's not right."

A sudden sense of unease arose within the witch. Instinctively, she reached out her snow-white wrist, grabbed Chen Wu's hand, and fled swiftly. However, she was too late. A strange mist suddenly drifted in, hazy and indistinct.

In a daze, the witch found herself standing on a street, surrounded by dilapidated palaces and withered sycamore trees.

"Oh no, we've been caught up in the city," the witch muttered to herself.

The next instant, her expression changed drastically, because Chen Wu, who had been silent all along, had vanished into thin air.

"Wei Yang Ke? Where have you been?"

The witch immediately released her divine senses and began searching everywhere, but all she received in response was deathly silence.

……

Time flew by, and five days passed in the blink of an eye, while the witch was trapped for five days.

During this time, she tried to break through, but found that she could not get out at all. As soon as she rushed up to the sky, she would be suppressed by a force. Even if she saw the city wall, she could not climb it.

This ancient city of Zhenhuang is strange; it seems to be a prison, making it difficult for people to escape.

Moreover, corpses occasionally resurrect within the city. They are long dead, yet strangely possess the ability to move, appearing like ghosts along the ancient streets.

boom!
On the sixth day, the witch encountered a huge monster with only one leg, but it was terrifying. The spiked club in its hand could destroy large areas of buildings in an instant.

This scene left the witch speechless. She had no doubt that even if those cult leaders from the outside world came in, they would be completely unable to withstand it and would be utterly powerless to resist it.

So she could only dodge helplessly, letting it run rampant.

Finally, after searching in vain, the one-legged monster slowly disappeared.

Meanwhile, the witch, who had just relaxed, was startled again when she turned her head.

It turned out that Chen Wu, who had disappeared for six days, had reappeared without a trace and was now looking at her calmly.

"You scared me to death! Where have you been all this time?" the witch said angrily, gently slapping her with her slender hand.

Chen Wu grabbed it, looking thoughtful, and said, "I went to get something."

"Let go!" the witch said, embarrassed and angry.

"Please, next time you go out alone, could you at least let me know beforehand? I thought you were dead here."

"And another thing, do you really think Phoenix Ancient City is your home? You can just take whatever you want?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wu silently took out a celestial egg, which was crystal clear and bright, with five-colored divine light soaring into the sky.

It was obvious that the fairy egg contained a massive amount of life essence.

The moment she saw it, the chattering witch froze.

"Could this be a phoenix egg? Please don't tell me you've brought out a future supreme phoenix."

First came the Qilin cub, followed by the true phoenix egg.

At this moment, the witch opened her large, clear eyes and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at Chen Wu's extraordinary luck.

"Take another look," Chen Wu sighed.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, the witch was puzzled. She simply activated her pupil technique, constructed mysterious Dao runes, and immersed them into the immortal egg, hoping to explore its internal mysteries.

"No, there is only abundant life essence, but no soul imprint exists."

Soon, the witch's deep disappointment was evident on her face.

Logically speaking, the Phoenix clan is known for its ability to be reborn from the ashes and undergo continuous rebirth, making such a situation extremely rare.

"I understand now. This phoenix failed in its rebirth before death, leaving no trace of its soul, only its divine essence fused into the egg. Therefore, it can only be used to nourish other life forms; it cannot revive itself," the witch finally concluded.

But upon closer inspection, Chen Wu appeared silent.

She was incredibly intelligent and immediately guessed what was going on. She tentatively asked, "Do you recognize it?"

"I suppose so," Chen Wu nodded slightly.
