The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

"Um?"

"There are still humans present?"

The clouds tore apart, and an old man wearing a red-gold phoenix-patterned Taoist robe stepped through the air.

He was surrounded by a pale red phoenix aura, his eyebrows and eyes were arrogant, and his phoenix power was vast. He was none other than Elder Chi Xuan of the Phoenix Clan.

As members of the Phoenix clan, they possess their own pride, are few in number, and rarely appear in the human world.

Chen Xuan had always heard that phoenixes existed in the world, but he had never seen one before. He never expected to see one here today.

I saw three at once.

Hmm, she's quite good-looking, that's about right.

"You lowly humans!"

"What kind of look is that?"

Are you looking at us with a scrutinizing gaze?

"Despicable and ignorant humans!"

"Are you allowed to look directly at our existence?"

"Kneel down!"

Chi Xuan noticed Chen Xuan's gaze and flew into a rage. He put his hands behind his back, stood in mid-air, and looked down at Chen Xuan from above.

boom!

Crimson flames erupted, their power reaching the heavens, turning the clouds into fiery clouds, and the temperature soared to extreme levels, even melting the boulders.

However, to their surprise, the human emerged unharmed from the flames and walked out in a dignified manner.

"Does a mere insect deserve to hang above my head?"

"Get down here."

Chen Xuan raised his eyes, the flames that had been burning on his body instantly dissipated, and a cold gaze swept over him.

"Wh...what!"

Under that gaze, Chi Xuan felt an overwhelming pressure, with spiritual energy from all directions pressing in on him.

boom!

Chi Xuan fell from the sky as if an invisible giant hand had forcefully slammed him down to the ground.

Dust billowed high, and a large crater was clearly formed.

Meanwhile, Chi Xuan at the bottom of the pit was forced to reveal its true form, with its wings fully spread and its two hind claws stretched backward, rendering it unable to move.

This doesn't resemble a phoenix at all; it looks more like an old rooster pinned down by a stone slab, ready to be slaughtered at any moment.

The two little phoenixes beside them stared in disbelief, trembling with fear.

"You...you...you human...you could you be an immortal?!"

The male phoenix reacted quickly, immediately pulling the female phoenix down to kneel before Chen Xuan.

Boo!

At the bottom of the pit, Chi Xuan, who had been slammed into a starfish shape, unleashed an unprecedented ferocity, his entire body engulfed in crimson flames, as if he were melting into the flames.

He flapped his wings, trying to spread them and fly away from the crater.

The pride of the Phoenix Clan would never allow him to be so humble in front of humans.

There are no immortals here. In today's world, the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage is the highest realm for the human race.

He does not belong to any human race!

"Stay put."

Chen Xuan frowned, pressed down on the void again, and slapped Chi Xuan, who had just flown out of the pit, back down.

This time, his fate was even more tragic.

boom!

It crashed down heavily, its right wing broke off, its feathers were stained with blood, and its beautiful tail feathers fell off on the spot, with broken feathers falling from the sky like snowflakes.

The bones in his chest cavity were broken, and his raised neck could no longer support him, causing him to slide directly to the ground, with blood continuously seeping from his hard beak.

The two little phoenixes were completely stunned, so they kowtowed even more enthusiastically.

One slap and Elder Chixuan was half dead... If this isn't an immortal, what is it?

"Human...human, I have no grudge against you...why...why do you want to kill me?"

Chi Xuan finally felt fear, his voice filled with terror, and he sobbed.

"I didn't mean to kill you."

Chen Xuan squatted by the pit, picked up a wooden stick, and poked around at the old phoenix, occasionally lifting its feathers to look at it.

Wow, what a huge phoenix! I've never seen one like it before. I wonder how it differs from ordinary birds of prey. I wonder if it would taste good stewed.

The two little phoenixes stopped kowtowing, looking like they wanted to cry but had no tears. It seemed that this immortal was very interested in the phoenix's body.

What should we do then? Are we going to get beaten to death too?

Chi Xuan felt utterly humiliated and roared hoarsely, "If you're not going to kill me, why are you stopping me?"

Chen Xuan didn't even look up. "I was finally about to catch a fish, and you ruined it by making such a fuss. Who else should I hit if not you?"

He had seen it clearly just now; the fish that took the bait weighed at least three pounds, enough for him to brag about for half a year. He never expected it to be ruined like this.

How could he not be angry?

"So what exactly do you want?"

"Let me go! I am an elder of the Phoenix Clan. If the matter is reported to the clan, you will not escape being hunted down."

Chi Xuan flapped its wings weakly, but remained unable to move.

That slap just now actually extinguished the wind and fire within his body, and even dispersed his bloodline power.

"Sorry, you may have misunderstood what I just said."

Faced with the threat, Chen Xuan calmly replied, "I said I didn't want to kill you before because you only disturbed my fishing."

"But you bared your teeth at me during the fight just now."

Chi Xuan's expression froze: "Showing...sharpening its teeth?"

Isn't that something only a lowly stray dog ​​would do?

He struggled violently, his eyes bloodshot, feeling an immense humiliation.

"You want to kill me; you've shown murderous intent towards me."

"So, you can go die now."

Chen Xuan ignored it and pressed down on the void again. An invisible giant hand descended from the sky and landed heavily in Chi Xuan's horrified gaze.

boom!

The ground shook violently, rocks tumbled down, and the crater once again kicked up a huge cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, Chi Xuan was nowhere to be seen. His enormous phoenix body had been smashed to pieces, its flesh and blood mingling with the surrounding forest.

Two phoenix chicks: ɿ(｡･ɜ･)ɾⓌⓗⓐⓣ?

My jaw dropped in shock.

Then.

Chen Xuan patted the ashes off his hands and walked towards them.

The two little ones trembled with fear, not even looking up, repeatedly kowtowing and pleading, "Please, benefactor, don't kill us!"

"We've just hatched and don't know anything yet, so please forgive us for disturbing you..."

Chen Xuan looked down at them and glanced at them briefly: "Hmm, the Phoenix Body relies on bloodline and Phoenix Flame. It's nothing special, just like the legendary techniques."

Once you've studied something thoroughly, you lose interest.

"This mountain forest is under my protection."

"Go back to where you came from."

Finally, he waved them away.

……

Having finished collecting his memories, Chen Xuan returned to the small courtyard in the south city, carrying the birdcage.

As soon as she entered, the little chicks caught Lu Yao's eye.

"Senior brother, is this the bird you caught on the mountain?"

"How was it? Not bad, right?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Lu Yao looked at the bird in the cage; it had no pretty feathers whatsoever, and its head was completely bald. She couldn't help but chuckle.

"Senior brother, this bird is a bit ugly. It probably can't compare to Uncle Li's birds."

Chicken Little: (っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)

It hatched prematurely, resulting in congenital deficiencies and insufficient bloodline power... What could it do? It was also desperate.

"It's okay, it will grow bigger after a while. I have experience with this."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, indicating that it was a minor problem.

As for why he has experience?

Of course, it was because the two young phoenixes didn't obediently leave. Seeing that they were quite sensible, they decided to keep them as pets.
