Nine Nether Continent, Nine Nether Clan.
On a mountain peak in the back mountain of the Nine Nether Clan, violet black flames filled the heavens and earth while scorching waves continuously released their might without restraint.
Ever since returning to the clan after leaving the Skylaw Continent, Jiu You had remained in secluded cultivation here, refining her bloodline and attempting to complete the final transformation of the Ancient Undying Bird.
Unfortunately, this was not an easy task.
In the original story, Jiu You had also relied on Mu Chen's help to obtain a large amount of Quasi Saint essence blood within the "Divine Transformation Pool" of the avian clans before finally completing her ultimate evolution.
At this moment, outside the mountain peak, the Nine Nether Clan Chief Tian Huang was respectfully standing beside a black robed old man. The old man's long brows swayed with the wind, while his aged face resembling wrinkled orange peel carried a trace of solemnity.
"Elder Lu, how is it? Has Jiu You made any progress?" Looking at the scene before him, Clan Chief Tian Huang felt somewhat uneasy and hurriedly asked.
This old man was naturally the only supreme expert of the Nine Nether Clan and also the sole support behind them, a late phase Spirit Grade expert.
Looking at Tian Huang's nervous appearance, Elder Lu inwardly sighed, though his expression remained unchanged as he replied, "There has still been some progress…"
"However, Clan Chief, there is no need for you to worry excessively. How could completing evolution be something that can be achieved so easily? Right now, Jiu You is continuously accumulating her own strength and tempering her spiritual energy. Only after polishing her cultivation until it reaches the realm of perfect unity can she proceed further."
"Even if it truly does not work out, it does not matter. Our Nine Nether Sparrow Clan is not without its final trump cards…"
As the only person within the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan in countless years who possessed the possibility of evolving into the bloodline of the Ancient Undying Bird, the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan would naturally spare no cost in helping Jiu You take that final step!
"Elder, are you referring to the Divine Transformation Pool?"
The so called "Divine Transformation Pool" was a treasured land within the Phoenix Clan, the leaders of all avian races in the Great Thousand World. Whenever Heavenly Sovereign ancestors of the various avian divine beast races fell, they would pass away within it, merging their lifelong essence blood into the pool, leaving behind a tremendous opportunity for later generations.
Of course, not everyone had the qualification to obtain this opportunity.
Only races whose ancestors had once passed away within the Divine Transformation Pool were qualified to compete for the opportunities within it. Therefore, races that had never produced any Super Divine Beast ancestors originally had no qualification to enter the Divine Transformation Pool even if they belonged to the avian races.
Coincidentally, the Nine Nether Sparrow Clan was one of the races that possessed such qualifications!
"Back then, one ancestor of our Nine Nether Clan passed away within the Divine Transformation Pool, so our clan possesses one quota to enter the pool. After some time, gather the various elders and branch leaders to discuss giving this quota to Jiu You…" Elder Lu instructed Clan Chief Tian Huang.
Although he could decide such matters with a single word, nominally this quota belonged to the entire Nine Nether Clan, so the necessary procedures still had to be followed.
After hearing these words, excitement appeared within Tian Huang's heart.
As the Clan Chief of the Nine Nether Clan, he naturally knew the preciousness of this quota and understood that it was Jiu You's final support.
If not for the fact that this quota was not something he could decide alone, Clan Chief Tian Huang would probably have long since reserved it for his daughter.
And just as Tian Huang was feeling delighted for his daughter, both he and Elder Lu suddenly turned their gazes toward the distant mountain peak.
They saw black flames continuously emerging from the rocks of the back mountain.
Under the burning of those black flames, the entire towering mountain seemed as though it was about to melt.
Moreover, they could clearly sense that deep within the mountain, something seemed to be breaking out of its cocoon and being reborn. An ancient and mysterious fluctuation spread from within the mountain body.
This scene instantly shocked the two greatly.
What was happening?
Could it be that Jiu You was about to evolve?
Tian Huang looked toward Elder Lu beside him with an expression of disbelief Was this old fellow deceiving him? Had he not just said there was little progress?
At this moment, Elder Lu himself was also confused. Especially after sensing a trace of world power from within the mountain, even he began doubting himself. Could it be that I really misjudged things?
"No! It is not evolution!"
Very quickly, Elder Lu finally reacted.
Because this aura was extremely unfamiliar and definitely not Jiu You's own power!
This discovery caused both Elder Lu and Clan Chief Tian Huang to heave sighs of relief while also feeling a slight trace of disappointment.
If Jiu You could truly complete her Super Divine Beast evolution through her own efforts, then the quota could have been given to someone else. Perhaps the Nine Nether Clan might even produce another peak expert.
Unfortunately…
"I heard that this girl Jiu You has a bloodline link with a human genius, correct?" After quickly figuring things out, Elder Lu asked.
Clan Chief Tian Huang nodded before briefly introducing some information regarding Liu Bai.
After listening, admiration appeared on Elder Lu's face as he said, "It seems you have all underestimated him…"
"If my guess is correct, that unfamiliar world power earlier likely came from that human youngster named Liu Bai."
"This…" Shock appeared on Tian Huang's face. "Is that possible?"
"Hehe, never underestimate those human geniuses. Those whose luck and destiny have deepened are even more terrifying than the Super Divine Beast geniuses among our beast races!"
Of course, they did not know that Liu Bai had already reached the Heavenly Sovereign level.
After all, many Half Step Heavenly Sovereigns could also grasp a portion of world power. It could only be said that Liu Bai had taken another step beyond such people and perhaps might enter sudden enlightenment and break through at any moment.
However, no matter what, this was a good thing for Jiu You. As long as they could obtain enough benefits within the "Divine Transformation Pool," Jiu You's chances of successful evolution would exceed fifty percent!
The same thing also occurred within the Ice Phoenix Clan and the Kunpeng Clan. However, compared to Jiu You, the benefits obtained by Chi Hongwu, Bai Bin, and Zong Qingfeng were even greater!
This was not because the talents of the three surpassed Jiu You's, but because their strength was weaker.
Although Liu Bai had helped improve their bloodlines, allowing the three to successfully advance into divine beasts at the Earth Sovereign level over the years, compared to the resources and nurturing Jiu You received, they were still far inferior!
By relying on the benefits brought about by Liu Bai's breakthrough into Heavenly Sovereign, the bloodlines of the three underwent a complete cleansing and evolution.
Although they still remained extremely far from becoming Super Divine Beasts, this bloodline evolution still caused their cultivation to rise by leaps and bounds.
Among them, Bai Bin, whose bloodline talent was the weakest, directly advanced to the initial phase of Greater Earth Sovereign; while the more talented Chi Hongwu and Zong Qingfeng directly leaped into the peak Greater Earth Sovereign realm!
This transformation caused quite a stir within the three clans.
Especially within the Ice Phoenix Clan and Crimson Phoenix Clan. These two races were merely branches of the Phoenix Clan, and their strongest experts were only at Great Perfection Earth Sovereign. Greater Earth Sovereigns were already elder level high ranking figures.
After this increase in strength, the status and position of the two naturally rose rapidly within their clans. Especially considering their young ages, the two clans had already begun treating them as key figures for nurturing.
This finally allowed Chi Hongwu, who had always been suppressed beneath her elder sister's brilliance, to vent a great sigh of relief!
Recalling all the frustrations she had suffered while living beneath her sister's radiance, the current Chi Hongwu was already somewhat impatient to see the expression on her elder sister's face after she returned from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.
As for the events occurring far away within the beast race territories, Liu Bai could only vaguely sense them and did not pay too much attention.
As for the few people under him, if given the chance, he naturally intended to strengthen them further. Even if they could not break through into Heavenly Sovereign like Jiu You in the future, they should at least reach the point where they could independently shoulder responsibilities.
As for Jiu You, she might still fall into troubles brought by her bloodline just as in the original story.
However, Liu Bai believed that by then, he would already have grown strong enough to shelter her from all storms.
At this moment, within the Great Thousand Tower of Saint Abyss City, Red Flame Old Immortal looked at the peerlessly beautiful woman before him with eyes full of eagerness.
Of course, it was not because the old man had developed improper thoughts.
Looking at the anxious Red Flame Old Immortal, Luo Li exchanged glances with Mu Chen beside her before smiling elegantly and saying, "Fortunately, I did not fail the mission and luckily obtained the inheritance of Ancestor Tai Ling."
Hearing this, Red Flame Old Immortal finally let out a sigh of relief. The issue that had plagued their Tai Ling Ancient Clan for many years had finally been resolved.
"In that case, let us depart. Luo Li, come with this old man to the Tai Ling Ancient Clan. From today onward, you shall be the Saintess of our Tai Ling Ancient Clan!" Red Flame Old Immortal waved his hand grandly and spoke somewhat impatiently.
When Luo Li heard that Red Flame Old Immortal intended to bring her to the Tai Ling Ancient Clan, she froze.
Would that not mean separating from Mu Chen?
Just as she was about to speak, a cold laugh suddenly sounded from outside the Great Thousand Tower.
"You want to leave? It will not be that easy!"
Inside the Great Thousand Tower, numerous gazes turned toward the entrance. Then they saw a group of people striding in aggressively. At the front were surprisingly the two Heavenly Sovereigns of the Buddha Ancient Clan, Mo Yin and Hei Guang.
Behind the two Heavenly Sovereigns followed Xuan Luo and Mo Xin, both of whom were staring gloomily at Mu Chen opposite them.
The two Heavenly Sovereigns strode forward quickly. The Heavenly Sovereign pressure faintly spreading from them caused Mu Chen's body to become incomparably heavy.
Mu Chen's heart sank as he realized trouble had arrived. His gaze turned cold as he glanced at Xuan Luo and Mo Xin. Clearly, these two were behind this matter.
"Heh, two shameless old bastards. What kind of ability is it to bully a junior like this?"
Red Flame Old Immortal stepped out from the side and stood before Mu Chen, blocking all the Heavenly Sovereign pressure coming from Hei Guang and Mo Yin.
He understood very clearly that with the relationship between Luo Li and Mu Chen, if these two old fellows injured Luo Li's little lover today, then he himself would probably face trouble afterward.
"Red Flame, this is an internal matter of my Buddha Ancient Clan. It has nothing to do with you!" Hei Guang's expression darkened as he spoke.
As elder of the Tai Ling Ancient Clan, neither Hei Guang nor Mo Yin wished to drag the other party into this matter, because if handled poorly, it could very easily spark conflict between the two Ancient Clans!
Elder Mo Yin stared coldly at Mu Chen and shouted, "Boy, if you know what's good for you, obediently hand over the Eight Buddha Pagoda. Otherwise, today we will definitely capture you and bring you back to the clan for punishment!"
Mu Chen was not intimidated by the other party. Instead, he mocked with a smile, "You lacked the ability to obtain Ancestor Buddha's recognition and failed to obtain the inheritance. Who can you blame for that?"
Xuan Luo and Mo Xin's expressions instantly became extremely unsightly.
Clearly, the skin of the two had not yet reached a sufficiently thick level.
Just look at Elder Mo Yin. His expression did not change in the slightest as he directly said in a deep voice, "That was merely the Ancestor trying to comfort you for the sake of slaying Demons. But the Eight Buddha Pagoda is not something you are qualified to possess!"
"Mo Yin, your skin truly grows thicker the older you get! If that Ancestor Buddha learned of this, he would probably be angered back to life." Red Flame Old Immortal sighed emotionally.
Hearing Red Flame Old Immortal's ridicule, Elder Mo Yin finally could not stop the corners of his face from twitching. However, he decided to ignore this old fellow's mockery and instead stared at him with a gloomy expression as he slowly said, "Red Flame, are you truly planning to interfere in this matter?"
Red Flame Old Immortal heard the threatening meaning in Mo Yin's voice, yet he still sneered and replied without hesitation, "Mu Chen was brought here by this old man, so I absolutely will not allow you people to take him away."
He had no intention of retreating, and Hei Guang and Mo Yin naturally could not retreat either.
The two exchanged glances and both saw the cold killing intent within each other's eyes, instantly understanding one another's thoughts.
"In that case…"
The aura of Heavenly Sovereigns erupted from their bodies without the slightest reservation. The sky above Saint Abyss City instantly became dim.
Terrifying pressure swept through the Great Thousand Tower.
Meanwhile, the gazes of the two locked onto Red Flame Old Immortal like sharp swords.
"Then let us see whether you possess the ability to stop the two of us!"
As his words fell, Hei Guang suddenly stepped forward and struck a palm toward Red Flame Old Immortal!
This palm strike appeared light and casual, yet pitch black spiritual energy was crazily compressing within his palm before finally turning into a black sun no larger than a human head.
Not the slightest radiance emerged from that black sun. Although it appeared small, everyone could sense just how horrifying the power contained within that tiny black sun truly was.
Of course, this was still inside the Great Thousand Tower. Even while taking action, the two still held back somewhat. The energy only condensed within three feet around their bodies and did not erupt completely.
Yet even so, that terrifying aura had already frightened all the Earth Sovereigns inside the tower senseless. Every single one wanted to flee for their lives, but the pressure belonging to Heavenly Sovereigns made even moving a finger impossible.
When Red Flame Old Immortal saw the black sun in Hei Guang's hand, his expression also became serious. He did not dare show the slightest negligence. His aged face rapidly turned red, and with a single opening of his mouth, he spat out a flame that seemed to flow with magma.
That flame continuously trembled as though a gust of wind could extinguish it. Yet the moment it appeared, everyone felt a horrifying temperature spreading out, as though even space itself could be burned by that heat!
Mother, I want to go home!
At this moment, everyone who had originally intended to watch the excitement instantly felt like crying.
