“Senior Zhurong probably burned its own body and transformed into this egg before dying in it,” said Little Purple. “If we can crack the eggshell, Senior Zhurong’s head will be here.”
“Master, is the Zhurong you mentioned just now that big?” The Kun Peng was shocked. “This entire mountain is formed from its body? Don’t tell me it has the bloodline of the Divine Roc!”
“Burning the body and transforming into an egg, this is the advancement method of the Immortal Phoenix Race!” The Immortal Phoenix was also excited. “No wonder I was sucked in. Zhurong came from my race!”
When the two mutated beasts heard each other’s words, they immediately glanced at each other fiercely and then looked at Ye Chen.
Perhaps it was due to their pride as famous bird species, the Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng seemed to want to include this ancient Divine Beast on their side.
“What are you arguing about? Zhurong is so famous. Can’t it be of a mixed breed of a few generations?” Ye Chen saw through their thoughts and patted the Immortal Phoenix and the Kun Peng on their heads. “Cut the crap. Help open the entrance.”
‘The Immortal Phoenix let out a light snort and walked towards the mountain Little Purple pointed at, performing the Art of Zhurong.
One minute passed, two minutes passed, and three minutes passed.
“Master, is my new Mystic Ability called the Art of Zhurong?” The Immortal Phoenix asked.
“That’s right.” Ye Chen nodded.
“Then why can’t it even open the Zhurong Mystic Realm?” From the Immortal Phoenix’s voice, it seemed to be beginning to doubt itself.
“It’s not your problem.” Ye Chen replied calmly, “I already understood.”
Not long after the Immortal Phoenix began to attack the mountain with the Art of Zhurong, a system notification suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Hidden prompt message: Zhurong’s consciousness dissipated. Failed to enter the Nirvana state. Fire Kite Mountain closed. Mystic Realm closed.]
This random reminder directly confused Ye Chen.
Zhurong’s consciousness? Nirvana?
Zhurong had been dead for so many years and had even transformed into a Mystic Realm. Why would such a reminder appear?
Ye Chen looked at Fire Kite Mountain. The surface of the mountain was filled with solidified black magma, which made it look like a huge black egg.
At this moment, Ye Chen thought of something. He quickly opened the interface and opened the system notifications he got before.
[Reminder: Fire Kite Mountain has been awakened by the Immortal Phoenix. You can open the Mystic Realm.]
[Hidden prompt message: Fire Kite Mountain is the Demon Flame Mountain’s main peak. It’s the Zhurong Mystic Realm and contains the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm. ]
“There’s a problem with the system’s expression!” Ye Chen reacted.
Fire Kite Mountain was the Zhurong Mystic Realm, which was also the egg that Zhurong had transformed into. Therefore, the Immortal Phoenix hadn’t awakened this mountain range but Zhurong’s consciousness!
After that, Zhurong’s consciousness still failed to break through its body and be reborn, so it fell into a long slumber again.
As for the fact that it couldn’t break the egg… As an ancient Divine Beast, Zhurong had been trying to go into the state of Nirvana and be reborn. Its egg was definitely not something that any mutated beast could break. Furthermore, the Immortal Phoenix was only a Divine Beast in the Growth Period with
about 40,000 attack power…
‘They were both Divine Beasts, but it wouldn’t be too exaggerated to say that the Immortal Phoenix was only a baby in front of Zhurong.
The Immortal Phoenix could penetrate the volcano before, probably because it had been bestowed with Zhurong’s power in the lava and not because it could destroy the egg. Therefore, it was natural that the Immortal Phoenix couldn’t break the Zhurong Egg.
Seeing the confusion on the Immortal Phoenix’s face, Ye Chen smiled gently and told the mutated beasts his speculation.
This time, every mutated beast was greatly shocked.
“Big Sister can actually awaken such a powerful ancient Divine Beast, Zhurong?” The Kun Peng was heartbroken. “We’re both in the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm and my combat strength is stronger than Big Sister’s. Why can’t I do that?”
“The Sun God Envoy delivers fire-type power into the Zhurong Egg and Zhurong’s race is a close relative to that of the Immortal Phoenix. This is very likely the reason why Zhurong was awakened!” Ye Chen was very proud of his own brain. “Idiot, a water-type beast like you want to awaken it? Dream on.”
“That means Zhurong doesn’t have my race’s bloodline anymore.” The Kun Peng’s tone became very bitter.
“Master should be right.” Little Purple opened its Titan’s Eye and observed Fire Kite Mountain. “Senior Zhurong’s power has indeed calmed down. It has probably fallen into hibernation again.”
“In other words, because Zhurong is still alive, we can’t enter the Mystic Realm?” Monkey’s focus was quite strange. When it said that, Ye Chen and the other mutated beasts looked at it in shock.
“Monkey, tsk, you’ll be called Idiot from now on.” The Immortal Phoenix gasped. “How dare you have thoughts of entering the Mystic Realm of a living ancient Divine Beast? You’re so stupid!”
“But if we can’t enter the Mystic Realm, we won’t be able to get anything good!” Monkey wasn’t willing to give up. “Hasn’t our idea always been to take away everything that can be taken?”
At this moment, the Immortal Phoenix was already looking at Monkey with pity.
“That’s why I said you’re stupid. The things in the Mystic Realm might just be its collections and the cultivation arts it knows.” It scoffed at Monkey speechlessly. “If we can incubate the old senior, why do we still have to explore the Mystic Realm?”
“Incubate it?” Monkey was stunned. It immediately looked at the Immortal Phoenix’s furry golden belly and said in admiration, “Big Sister, you know how to incubate an egg?”
With a loud bang, Monkey was slapped to the edge of the Ice Fire Armor platform made by Little Purple by the Immortal Phoenix’s wing.
“T don’t know how to incubate an egg! You silly Monkey!” The Immortal Phoenix flapped its wings in anger. “Only our master can incubate it!”
“That’s right. Other than the Godly Sea Steadying Needle, I incubated all of you with a drop of blood.” Ye Chen was amused. “Monkey, you don’t even remember this. Your memory is too bad!”
Then, the other Divine Beasts also started teasing Monkey.
Ye Chen laughed for a while and looked at the towering Fire Kite Mountain again.
After being awakened, Zhurong would be in an incubation state for a period of time. And awakening it required the lava inside to become active.
‘That was too easy.
He only needed to bring the Immortal Phoenix back to the array from the cultivation art and then enter again to awaken Zhurong’s consciousness. Then, he would drip blood on this mountain-sized Mutated Beast Egg and enter a Beast Spirit Contract with the ancient Divine Beast..
