Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Transforming into the Lightning Phoenix

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Looking at his body, Zong Shou was baffled for a short while before finally comprehending what was happening.

“So my soul has transformed into that of a Lightning Phoenix, no wonder it would charge out of the cave and soar up...”

His two wings flapped, lightning shone. Everything in front of him swiftly flew past, in the blink of an eye he travelled hundreds of thousands of feet.

He felt really free, totally unrestrained and really comfortable.

Zong Shou was feeling bitter at the start, but after making a few rounds in the sky, he started to familiarize himself. The flapping of his two wings became more and more natural as he soared through the gaps of the clouds.

After a short while the joy in his chest totally disappeared. A sense of fear rose, only to feel his entire body going ice cold.

He was currently only at the Spirit Cultivation Realm, at most his soul was purer than others. The few times he was able to send his soul out of his body was with the help of the sandalwood incense and the spiritual formation.

If he was unable to form a spirit sense and use the nearby spiritual energy to protect his soul, once he travelled too far away from his body, just the astral wind around would be enough to destroy him!.

Not to mention the essence flame from the blazing sun in the day, which only people whose souls reached the Day Wandering stage weren’t afraid of.

Those dark souls and demon spirits in the world often combusted once they touched light. The human soul was a similar presence to them.

Terrified, Zong Shou observing his surroundings, and after a while felt more at ease.

Although it was night time now, the essence fire of the sun was still blazing hot. Near the Demon Corpse Mountain, the mountain wind was blowing strongly. However, his current Lightning Phoenix transformation had threads of lightning surrounding him. Who knows for what reason but the sunlight and essence flame of the sun were unable to touch him, and the same went for the intense mountain wind, which was unable to seep through.

“Is my current state because of that Tune in my soul ocean? Turning into this form and still being unrestricted by the wind and the sunshine!”

He shook his head in disbelief,while trying to control the nearby dust and sand.

He was only able to wrap up a rice-sized portion, while the others didn’t move at all. The nearby spiritual energy didn’t show much change. Only the threads of lightning glowing around him gathered and made the purple lightning around him denser.

With another forwards charge, the sharp claws at his abdomen clawed out, grabbing onto a hundred foot long, thigh-sized tree branch, and forcibly pulling it into the air. His body shook slightly before regaining its stability, and he didn’t find it tiring at all.

“Using this Lightning Phoenix body I actually have 1,250 kilograms of power! Just weaker by a little bit compared to my body. If my soul didn’t use this Lightning Phoenix form, who knows how strong it would be? It would definitely be weaker than this!”

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind. Zong Shou could also feel his body getting exhausted. Just as he was thinking about returning, his heart shook slightly, thinking back to Gong Xinran, whom he had separated from not long ago.

“How’s the situation on her side? That Gao Yi makes me feel uneasy. With my current form, I can go take a look...”

Although it was not long ago, he had actually spent half a day absorbing the essence of the Lightning Phoenix egg.

It seemed like whether or not his senior sister found the items of her ancestor, she should be on her way down the mountain.

The Demon Corpse Mountain was the safest in the day, but at night, especially at midnight, it would be a death zone worthy of its name.

A thought flashed in his mind as his wings flapped once more, charging swiftly towards the middle portion of Demon Corpse Mountain.

Just as he was getting close, he felt a strong mental energy disturbing his spiritual control. His consciousness nearly blanked out and his Lightning Phoenix form nearly scattered.

In the next moment Zong Shou scoffed coldly, a determined will exploded out from deep within his soul, colliding with this mental energy with no signs of losing out, chasing it out of his consciousness.

He knew that this was the remaining will left by that different race expert, and was also the reason why all the Xiantian and Out of Body Realm experts didn’t dare to come close.

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate at all, his body spreading out as he charged right into the Demon Corpse Mountain.

He flew around the area before finding tracks of Gong Xinran and the others. His heart sank deeper and deeper.

Along the way he didn’t see any tracks of beasts, but he picked up several blood stains along the way.

Dripping onto the ground like stars, the glow was a fresh and evil red.

“This blood still feels warm, it shouldn’t have been left long ago...”

Flapping his wings once more, his body flew around this giant mountain easily. In the next moment, a few shadows appeared in front of him. He was deeply astonished by what was happening as he looked on with eyes formed from soul power.

Below, Gong Xinran, filled with life, extroverted and optimistic, was pinned onto an evil-looking peach tree by a bright sword. Her face was ashen white, only her chest was rising up and down. Her eyes, that should have been clear and bright, were filled with a deathly aura.

Her eyes didn’t looked pained, there wasn’t any fear or despair, only heartbreak. She looked forwards, her heart totally dead.

Beside the tree stood several people... Gao Yi and also the six Mythic Masters. The former had a strange smile, playing with an item in his hand. The other looked on with either disdain, pity, or mocking expressions.

The lightning glow around Zong Shou’s body exploded out, his wings spreading once more as he charged down. Just as he was about to get close he saw Gao Yi suddenly wave his hand, smacking her face loudly, while also laughing, “Do you regret? Do you think that I, Gao Yi, am heartless? Do you know that I spent two full years on you for this thing? Two years just to spend with an ugly brat and make you happy. Do you know how tired I am?”

Zong Shou’s eyes sharpened once more. Rage rose within him, but just as he was about to charge down he felt unbelievably exhausted. A large amount of the surrounding lightning glow had dissipated, and became really dim.

Luckily, at this moment the last bit of sunlight in the sky had disappeared. Although there was astral wind blowing all around, it was unable to get close to him. However, he still felt weak and without strength, and could only silently land on a tree branch.

He did all he could to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to recover some strength.

Who knows if it because he was careful or because this Demon Corpse Mountain had the remnant will of that other race expert of the Desolate Era, but Gao Yi didn’t notice anything, shaking his head, “If you want to hate, hate yourself! You know that you have no looks and no talent, why did you think I would like you? What made you think you could marry into the Gao Family, and be the future lady of my Family?”

Gong Xinran’s head looked towards the side, her hair scattered and messy, covering her ashen-white face so that one couldn’t see what expression she had.

It seemed like Gao Yi felt really uninterested and bored as he shook his head, “Forget it, after all I have spent two years with you, I can’t go too far! I have already obtained this collection of martial secrets personally written by San Sheng. I have no reason to make things tough for you!”

When Zong Shou heard his words, only then did he notice that in his hand was a book made up of gold silk, around four fingers thick and looking really heavy.

After Gao Yi laughed, just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly remembered something, stopping in his tracks, “I nearly forgot! I swore to you that the two of us would be together everyday in life, and will not part even in death...”
