Chapter 959: Pure Blood
The flames inside the volcano flared, shocking everything in miles.
Huang Jiu Ge opened her eyes, looking as graceful as ever. She emitted colorful lights around her rhythmically, like a fairy of phoenixes. Her demeanor was divine and majestic, grand and pure.
Behind her, the silhouette of a gold phoenix emerging out of flames appeared. The silhouette expanded its wings, looked around arrogantly, and peered down onto the world.
Without a doubt, she had successfully transformed.
She was originally a phoenix who was weakly linked to a pure blood. After Ling Xian helped her metamorphose the first time with the Flame of Purity, she transformed into a half-blood.
Now that she has bathed in a real phoenix's blood, she has finally successfully transformed into a pure-blooded phoenix!
Her capabilities had also broken through to the original level from the completion level. Also, same as Ling Xian, she had reached the peak of the original level!
One has to admit that this was a shocking metamorphosis. If the news gets circulated, much discussion would be had.
However, it was logical.
Huang Jiu Ge was related to the phoenix kind after all. It was right for her to benefit more from the Nirvana Fountain than Ling Xian. After all, he was merely a human. He cannot absorb the source of energy from the phoenix blood.
Huang Jiu Ge was not limited by this. Not only did she absorb real phoenix's blood, but she also absorbed its essence!
Therefore it made sense for her to break through four whole stages.
Her battling capabilities right now can scare away many people!
The beast kinds have 10 noble kinds and each one of them is more capable than the rest. Above the noble kinds were seven royal kinds. These kinds are top-notch in terms of battling abilities. They can scare away every single human being.
Pure blooded phoenixes are one of the seven royal kinds. They are also one of the best ones. They are known to be able to boil the ocean and burn everything in the world. Their potential is endless.
The number of real phoenixes is extremely limited. Out of the entire cultivation community, not many have heard of them.
Therefore, the moment Huang Jiu Ge opened her eyes, Ling Xian smiled.
Though the bond between them has been one-sidedly broken by him. There were many things that still showed how Huang Jiu Ge saw herself as a servant to her master.
Now that she has successfully transformed into a pure blood, he was proud and overjoyed.
A pure-blooded phoenix!
To put it bluntly, Huang Jiu Ge's potential right now is on par with Stone. If no accidents occur, she will one day become a powerhouse!
This was also a conservative estimate!
"Not bad. Congratulations, you are finally a pure-blooded phoenix." Ling Xian grinned, truly happy for her.
"This is all thanks to you, master. Without you, I wouldn't have even been able to step into this place."
Huang Jiu Ge's smile deepened.
Then, she stood up inside the fountain. Colorful lights continued to emit out of her, dazzling, and attention snatching.
"I merely brought you inside. You should thank the Nirvana Fountain the real phoenix left behind. Without it, we wouldn't have gained what we gained today."
Ling Xian smiled. He was very satisfied with this trip.
"Yes, master, you have also successfully transformed?" Huang Jiu Ge looked over with anticipation.
"Of course. You are now a pure-blooded phoenix at the peak of the original level. If I didn't power up, that would be embarrassing." Ling Xian joked.
Hearing this, Huang Jiu Ge's face was serious, "I will always be your servant. No matter what your capability is, I will serve you."
"Oh, you."
Ling Xian shook his head. "Don't forget. I have already cut our contract. You haven't been my servant for a long time. Plus, I never saw you as one since the beginning."
"I know."
Huang Jiu Ge smiled brightly, "Master, how about we resign a contract?"
"You are now a pure-blooded phoenix. I think only real immortals have the right to take you as their spiritual beast." Ling Xian joked.
"Pure-blood, so what? I am forever yours."
Huang Jiu Ge continued to smile brightly, but soon realized the meaning behind her words. Right after she spoke them, she blushed. However, she didn't take her words back.
Ling Xian bitterly smiled at this. "There is no need to sign a contract. As long as you have the will, a contract makes no difference."
Then, he shifted his eyes towards the lady in green and paid his respect, "Thank you for allowing me inside."
"That was due to your own effort. I merely didn't stop you because of Sister Yu."
The woman waved her hand. "You have successfully transformed. That little phoenix is also a pure-blood now. Leave right away, or else I will be annoyed."
Ling Xian nodded and looked over expectantly, "But, before I leave, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Speak." The woman said, her expression as cold as before.
"This is the Third Prohibited Area inside the palace. Is there a First and a Second?" Ling Xian looked over with high anticipation.
He had much to gain from the Third Prohibited Area and it made him realize something - though this place is prohibited, it contains many opportunities.
The Nirvana Fountain, the human form of a Medicine of the Undead... which one of these isn't a great opportunity?
"That's right, there is a First and Second Prohibited Area."
The woman said softly, somehow knowing what Ling Xian was thinking and couldn't help but smile.
"Just like what you are thinking of, there are many fortunes hidden in those areas. However..."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's spirit lifted, "However what?"
"Those two places are really prohibited. Other than great fortunes, there are much danger."
The woman teased, "You didn't run into much danger here and I am not one who enjoys killing. At most, I would've kicked you out. But those two areas are full of fatal obstacles."
"There are also human forms of the Medicine of the Undead there?" Ling Xian frowned.
"You think we are like lettuce?
The woman rolled her eye at him. "There are no spiritual beings, but every step is full of danger. If you want to go, then be mentally prepared."
"I get it now. I wonder if you can tell me what kind of fortunes are hidden there?" Ling Xian had high expectations.
"I have been here for years and I have never left. How would I know about those places?" The woman waved around her hand, "You can go explore yourself."
"Alright, then we shall leave."
Ling Xian paid his respect again, "Jiu Ge, let us go."
Hearing this, Huang Jiu Ge nodded and immediately transformed back to her original form. She was pure white and holy. Especially after absorbing the phoenix's blood, she looked impossible to taint.
At the sight of this, Ling Xian hopped on and flew towards the exit of the dense forest with Huang Jiu Ge.
His spiritual energy has awakened, and his battling abilities have peaked to the extreme of the original level. Naturally, it was time to leave this place. His next destination has been determined.
The Second Prohibited Area.
Though the woman had said the place is filled with danger, it, without a doubt, is full of opportunities. It is not an easy trip coming to the Palace of Heaven's Favorites. How could Ling Xian miss this?
"I sure want to see how dangerous the path before me is and how many opportunities await."
