When Elder Tianque arrived once again at the Great Heavenlaw Domain and saw that Liu Bai had already broken through to Ninth Grade Sovereign, his entire face was filled with disbelief.
"This… did I remember incorrectly? When you left the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan, it had only been a little more than half a year. Why does it feel to me as though ten years have passed?"
Liu Bai smiled slightly. "Just fortunate opportunities."
"Elder Tianque, have you come this time because the Divine Beast Plains has appeared?"
The astonishment in his eyes subsided as Elder Tianque nodded. "Indeed. At most one month from now, the Divine Beast Plains will open. I have come under the Clan Leader's orders to bring you back."
"I was originally wondering whether you would give this old man another surprise. I did not expect it to be a shock instead."
"However, with your current cultivation, it seems there should be some gains in this Divine Beast Plains."
The opening of the Divine Beast Plains attracted an enormous number of Divine Beast races, many stronger than the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan. In this generation of the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan, the only truly outstanding one was Jiu You. Yet compared to certain Divine Beast prodigies, she still appeared somewhat immature.
It could not be helped. At most, it had only been a few years since Jiu You transformed and ascended. If not for her powerful bloodline, how could she possess her current cultivation.
After all, the growth period of Divine Beasts was measured in centuries.
After speaking, Elder Tianque continued examining Liu Bai several times. The latter was nearly unsettled by the old man's gaze. Finally, Jiu You could no longer endure it. She walked over, pulled Elder Tianque aside, and could not help asking, "What are you looking at?"
Elder Tianque frowned, his eyes still fixed on Liu Bai as he said in confusion, "That should not be the case. Why do I sense a faint pressure from you?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bai immediately understood the reason for his reaction.
"So that is what you mean. Perhaps it is because I possess the Dragon Phoenix Physique." Liu Bai explained with a light smile.
He did not directly mention the True Phoenix Spirit within him. It was not that he feared the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan would do anything, but rather that it was better not to spread this information for now.
"Dragon Phoenix Physique? You were actually able to obtain such a physique?" Elder Tianque was filled with shock.
You are a human. How did you cultivate the Dragon Phoenix Physique?
"Was it because of the Dragon Phoenix Heaven?"
Recalling that Liu Bai had left the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan due to the Dragon Phoenix Heaven in the Northern Region, Elder Tianque quickly realized.
Elder Tianque frowned. "I have some understanding of that Dragon Phoenix Heaven in the Northern Region. It is said that a True Dragon and a True Phoenix fell there. We once sent clan members into it. Although they gained some harvest, none ever possessed the pressure of a True Phoenix like you."
"This opportunity can only be obtained by those who ascend to the tenth step of the Dragon Phoenix Ladder within Dragon Phoenix Heaven. Liu Bai is the only one in hundreds of years to have reached the tenth step." Jiu You said calmly.
Elder Tianque fell silent. It seemed their Nine Nether Sparrow Clan members back then were simply not strong enough.
"You truly have enviable opportunities, little fellow."
As a race with Phoenix bloodline, the True Phoenix pressure held special meaning for the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan.
It proved that within Liu Bai's body there was at least a trace of True Phoenix essence blood.
If it were within the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan, that trace of True Phoenix essence blood might directly awaken their ancient bloodline.
"However, this is also trouble for you. If you enter the Divine Beast Plains and encounter races with Phoenix bloodline, you must not use it recklessly. Otherwise, they will exhaust every means to kill you and seize your True Phoenix essence blood."
Liu Bai nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, Senior."
Jiu You had already warned him about this. However, Liu Bai had not expected that Elder Tianque could sense the pressure before he even displayed the True Phoenix Spirit.
Then again, it was not strange. The Nine Nether Sparrow Clan possessed Phoenix bloodline, and Elder Tianque was an Earth Sovereign. It was normal that he could perceive it.
At this time, Mandala was discussing matters concerning the Northern Region with the other Earth Sovereigns, so she did not come to see Liu Bai off. After Elder Tianque's arrival, the three of them soon set out.
After several days of travel, they once again arrived at the Nine Nether Continent and entered the Nine Nether Realm.
Since Liu Bai had already proven his strength, the four quotas of the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan did not require competition this time. Everything had already been arranged.
However, when Clan Leader Tianhuang saw that Liu Bai had reached Ninth-Grade Sovereign, the shock on his face was no less than that of Elder Tianque earlier.
"Good, good, good. I truly did not misjudge you. You are excellent."
Clan Leader Tianhuang patted Liu Bai's shoulder with the look of a father in law examining his son in law, increasingly satisfied, which made Liu Bai feel somewhat strange.
"In three days, the Divine Beast Plains will open. I will depart with you at that time. For these three days, rest well within the clan and adjust your condition."
Liu Bai naturally had no objections.
During these three days, Clan Leader Tianhuang also told Liu Bai many details regarding the Divine Beast Plains, including potential enemies and various matters, explaining everything meticulously.
This treatment was far superior to what Mu Chen received in the original story.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
When the first ray of sunlight pierced the horizon, Liu Bai, who was seated cross legged atop a mountain peak, slowly opened his eyes.
Looking beyond Nine Nether Mountain, it seemed the entire mountain had become lively. Countless sounds of wind breaking echoed through the sky.
Clearly, the opening of the Divine Beast Plains was a grand event for the entire Nine Nether Sparrow Clan.
Liu Bai looked toward the courtyard at the mountain summit. His expression shifted slightly as his figure flashed and appeared directly within the courtyard below.
Not far away, a graceful figure was swiftly approaching before landing in the courtyard.
The slender and alluring figure was naturally Jiu You.
"Let us go. The Divine Beast Plains is about to appear."
After landing, Jiu You's pretty face displayed a radiant smile of incomparable beauty.
At the central square, Clan Leader Tianhuang stood with his hands behind his back alongside the elders.
In front of him, Mo Feng and Mo Ling had already arrived.
Under the convergence of countless gazes, Liu Bai and Jiu You descended beside Mo Feng. The usually expressionless Mo Feng unexpectedly nodded at Liu Bai.
As for Mo Ling beside him, she gave Liu Bai a youthful and lively smile.
Seeing the four gathered, Clan Leader Tianhuang nodded slightly. He looked up at the sky and said calmly, "The Divine Beast Plains will soon appear. When it does, I and the elders will tear open the space. The four of you must seize the opportunity to enter."
Liu Bai and the other three nodded in unison.
After the instructions were given, everyone's gaze shifted toward the sky, quietly waiting for the Divine Beast Plains to descend.
Buzz.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a storm suddenly emerged within this heaven and earth.
Liu Bai quickly focused his gaze and saw that the space in the sky rippled like water, layers of waves spreading outward.
Countless ancient scenes flashed within the void, filled with a primordial aura.
As the aura spread, Liu Bai seemed to hear countless beast roars echoing from ancient times.
"Act!"
Upon seeing this, Clan Leader Tianhuang, who had long been prepared, shouted loudly. Immediately, a ten thousand zhang light rainbow burst from the top of his head. Within the light rainbow, a massive crimson sparrow silhouette could faintly be seen, with towering flames that seemed capable of burning heaven and earth.
Whoosh Whoosh.
The moment Clan Leader Tianhuang acted, several other elders of the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan also made their moves. Beams of light shot into the sky and bombarded the void space.
Liu Bai's expression became solemn.
The space of the Divine Beast Plains was unexpectedly resilient. Only under the combined efforts of so many Earth Sovereigns was the space gradually torn open.
Within the space was darkness, yet an extremely ancient and savage aura swept outward.
As the aura spread, Liu Bai seemed to hear countless beast roars transmitted from ancient times.
"Go!"
Veins bulged on Clan Leader Tianhuang's arm as he suddenly turned his gaze to Liu Bai and the others and shouted sternly.
Mo Feng grabbed Mo Ling and shot upward. Liu Bai exchanged a glance with Jiu You, and the two transformed into streams of light that soared into the sky, decisively entering the forcibly torn void space.
Bang.
The moment Liu Bai and the other three entered the space, the torn fissure erupted with terrifying spatial turbulence. Under its ravaging force, the spiritual energy light rainbows condensed by the Earth Sovereigns shattered instantly.
"What domineering spatial turbulence."
Clan Leader Tianhuang and the others withdrew their hands simultaneously.
Looking at the rapidly vanishing void space, Clan Leader Tianhuang could not help but sigh.
As he gazed at the place where Liu Bai and the others had disappeared, a trace of worry arose in his heart.
Although Liu Bai's cultivation was strong and his combat power even stronger, in such a cruel land of competition, no one knew what they would encounter.
…
Liu Bai felt that they had entered a pitch black space. All around was nothingness, as if the darkness could devour everything.
"Be careful. We have already entered the void space where the Divine Beast Plains is located." Jiu You's pretty face was solemn as she looked around, then gazed into the distance and reminded in a deep voice, "Within this kind of void space, spiritual energy will be decomposed by the darkness. If we remain exposed to the void for too long, even our own spiritual energy will gradually be broken down, and in the end we will sink and be unable to escape."
Liu Bai frowned upon hearing this, then sensed his condition. Sure enough, he discovered that the spiritual energy within his body was being decomposed at an extremely slow rate.
However, with a thought from him, the Five Elements Spiritual Talisman within his Sovereign Sea space immediately emitted brilliant radiance. A five colored halo enveloped Liu Bai within several dozen meters. Jiu You and the Mo siblings, who were covered by this five colored light, suddenly discovered that the phenomenon of their spiritual energy being decomposed had disappeared.
"What… what just happened?" Mo Ling blinked her large eyes and asked in surprise.
Jiu You and Mo Feng both looked at the initiator, Liu Bai.
"Hehe, nothing much. It seems that the Five Elements spiritual energy I cultivate has a certain resistance against the decomposition ability of this darkness."
The two nodded, though in their hearts they formed a bold guess regarding the grade of the cultivation method Liu Bai practiced.
"That is wonderful. Then we can safely wait for our mount to come."
Mo Ling said happily.
Liu Bai naturally knew what mount she was referring to, so he did not ask. Instead, he gazed into the distant darkness.
After waiting for most of the day, the four of them finally sensed ripples suddenly appearing within the darkness to their left.
A massive rock of about one hundred zhang in size silently glided through the darkness, roaring toward their direction like a meteor.
"It is here." Jiu You reminded with a serious expression.
Liu Bai remained calm. He held Jiu You's hand with one hand and turned to look at the Mo siblings.
"Do you want me to carry you along?"
Among the four, Mo Ling had the lowest cultivation, currently at the peak of Sixth Grade Sovereign, while Jiu You and Mo Feng were both at the late stage of Seventh Grade Sovereign.
If Ninth-Grade Sovereign Liu Bai carried the two girls, it would undoubtedly be much easier for what followed.
Of course, this required Mo Ling's own agreement.
"Sure, sure." Mo Ling looked innocent and seemed to have no guard against anyone.
Mo Feng did not object, which counted as tacit approval. After all, his own strength was far inferior to Liu Bai's.
As the enormous rock roared toward them, the four shot out simultaneously and landed steadily upon the giant rock.
The moment their feet touched the rock, spiritual energy surged and directly nailed their bodies onto it.
Whoosh.
The giant rock merely trembled slightly before moving even faster through the dark void toward a distant place.
After stabilizing himself, Liu Bai released Jiu You and Mo Ling. He then saw the two quickly disperse and carefully search inch by inch across the surface.
Liu Bai raised an eyebrow and quickly understood.
They were likely searching for a special treasure, Blood Spirit Mud.
It was said that in ancient times, when the great beings within the Divine Beast Plains sensed the plans of the Fiend Clans, they self destructed their physical bodies in an attempt to block the calamity.
This so called Blood Spirit Mud contained a trace of the flesh and blood essence of those great beings.
Such Blood Spirit Mud could be swallowed directly. After consumption, it would bring enormous benefits to the physical body.
In the outside world, if one encountered an expert proficient in alchemy, this Blood Spirit Mud could be used to refine Blood Spirit Pills, capable of transforming one's physical body.
Very soon, Jiu You returned. In her hand was a lump of crimson mud, from which an extremely dense scent of blood faintly emanated.
"So this is Blood Spirit Mud?" Liu Bai took it and examined it curiously. "Not bad. Although the flesh and blood essence within is already very thin, fortunately the origin was powerful enough. With a few simple supplementary medicinal ingredients, it can be refined into the Blood Spirit Pill you mentioned."
Liu Bai's words shocked Mo Ling and Mo Feng. They looked at him in astonishment.
"Brother Liu Bai, you know how to refine pills?"
"Just a little knowledge," Liu Bai replied modestly.
