Moving at breakneck speed, it was astonishing in how amazingly fast they were going in light of the deep chasm directly below their feet.
“Unlike the nine sects who operate within the laws of this world, the three schools are perennially abstained from the matters of the outside. However, there are certain times during the month where the great barrier protecting their grounds would be lowered for their disciples to come and go. The Immortal Jade Garden is precisely like that where they will open up their doors at the tenth of every month.”
Due to how sharp the winds were slicing past their ears, it became increasingly harder for their voices to reach each other. However, that only lasted for a couple of minutes before their feet’s were firmly planted on the ground again.

Apparently Wu Chong was no stranger to this place and could easily recognize the directions in which they need to go for.
“Hold up, you still haven’t explained the part about why must we break into the forbidden grounds of the Immortal Jade Garden.” Ling Yue still hasn’t fully grasped onto the reasoning for their secret venture.
“Nine Phoenix Change is a special skill originating from the Phoenix race itself so its true value is far superior to a fifth grade technique that other’s taken it for. Firstly, you must understand that there are three different levels that one can master within this martial technique. The entry being the refinement of one’s body called the Third Flame, it’s capable of giving the cultivator a powerful constitution at the level of a reincarnation master. The second being the Sixth Flame that will give the user immunity to the all kinds of flames and speed equivalent to a true phoenix in flight. Lastly, correlating to its name, the Ninth Flame will give the user the ability to be reborn anew into a whole new existence,” Wu Chong carefully explains the key elements without missing a beat.
“Wouldn’t the exchange office be losing a lot then to rank such a powerful skill only at the fifth grade?” Both shocked and elated, Ling Yue doesn’t regret it one bit to spend all of those Illumination Dan pills she earned.
Its common sense that the bodies of the spirit beasts are far superior to that of the human race, let alone the bodies of a sacred beast!
But just when the girl was musing over her own fortune, the hand wrapped around her waist suddenly increased its tension and caused her to gasp out in pain.
“I haven’t finished yet, why are you interrupting me. Although the Nine Phoenix Change is strong, it also means that the requirement in achieving said results are extremely harsh as well. In addition to requiring the user to train in both the internal mantra as well as the martial moves, the cultivator must also obtain the flame of a true phoenix to bath in it. This is no easy task, just the lowest entry level of the Nine Phoenix Change would require the user to endure the hazing of nine flaming sessions to achieve the requirement of the Third Flame, followed by thirty six and eighty one for the following tiers afterwards.” Speaking up to here, the man halts his words for a moment: “On the whole continent, in addition to the nest of the Phoenix Clan itself where most of them reside, there’s only one other pure-blooded phoenix that I know of and that is here in this Immortal Jade Garden. That ancient fire phoenix has the needed flame you need. That’s why we are here, to steal its flame.”
“No wait, Wu Chong, if we need a fire of a phoenix then why couldn’t I just ask Little Crow for it? She’s a genuine phoenix so why must we look elsewhere when there’s one so close?”
Due to the effects of the invisibility pill and the barrier set up by the man, the pair had no problem traversing the place.
“Are you sure that one of yours is a phoenix?” Snorting at the claim, Wu Chong narrows in his eye like he’s not believing her, “Whatever kind of person will raise whatever kind of spirit beast. That scrawny black chicken of yours is hardly worthy to be called a phoenix yet. Maybe in another hundred or five hundred years then it can call itself a true phoenix, that’s when it will produce its own genuine place unique to itself. Anything else you might see now is nothing more than a subpar copy of its true nature.”
Unable to resist the urge, Ye Ling Yue began kicking the man’s knee in frustration, This bastard, would it kill him to not be so foul?
“Little Crow is a very rare Illusionary Phoenix, just that she was attacked by a python while she was still in her egg, hence the reason why she’s inherently deficient.” She argues back, defending her friend furiously to only be ignored.
“Quiet, the forbidden area is just up ahead.” Gesturing her to silence, Wu Chong didn’t give her anymore chances to speak because the terrific pressure up ahead gave weight to how much danger they are in currently.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long to see why, there’s a giant rainbow phoenix up on the altar! When compared to the fire and ice phoenix Ling Yue encountered from way back in the marsh, this one was far superior not only in looks but also in strength.
“This phoenix’s strength is ??very high, far stronger than that pair we encountered from before. Remember, since you absorbed the effects of the Nirvana Heart Lotus that means you are partially immune to its flame. However, with your current strength, you can only withstand its fire for nine times, just enough to get you started on the Third Flame tier. Once things are done I will immediately take you away.” Using a tone of an adult lecturing a child, Wu Chong’s attitude made the girl especially uncomfortable.

Even so, Ling Yue figured she better add something to that, “You be careful too.”
She’s not an ungrateful person. If someone else was doing this for her then it’s only normal she give some thanks.
“Don’t worry, I can’t bear to let you become a widow now can I?” Initially Wu Chong was a tad startled at first, but that quickly changed to a form of elation, which in turn manifested into a hearty hug for the girl.
Although Ling Yue was still unused to this level of intimacy, she nevertheless has to give him credit and decides to accept this gesture. It’s a very dangerous venture they are heading into, that’s the least she could do.
The emotions has been past on, the gestures been done, now its time to begin taking action. Shooting over to the specially constructed altar, Wu Chong’s first order of business was to set up a seal to keep the noise from alarming anyone outside the area. Then that’s when the attacks came crashing down.
Sweeping his sleeve forward to release his legendary sword Tianzhu, the man slashes down at the altar and creates a rumbling quake, thus awakening the slumbering giant at the center as well as frightening his partner in crime at one corner.
This guy, how can he make a direct confrontation?
That’s not how one steals something!
Talk about being a tyrant!
Ling Yue’s worry wasn’t without cause. A thousand year-old phoenix meant it’s at its prime, a being that could rock the very foundation of an entire kingdom with ease. To this sacred beast, a mere human was no different from an ant, something that could be squashed at will.
Revealing a flash of anger in that golden iris, the phoenix immediately went on the offensive and spewed out its phoenix breath from the altar.
Chance!
Not missing this important opening, Ling Yue directs her Twinkling Star Dagger under her feet to shoot straight in the fire.
Only then does she understand how difficult it truly was to endure such a trial. Every fiber, every cell within her body, they were screaming at the intensity. The effects were so prominent that it was even stronger than when she broke into the Dan realm, that’s how amazing this process was!
Very soon, all of the flames were absorbed into her body, leaving Wu Chong on the other end slightly surprised.
It’s a well-known fact that the flames of the phoenix race were extremely hot, hotter than almost any other type of common fire out there. For the girl to absorb this quickly and without any injuries or burns in the process, it’s almost unheard of even if she did consume the Nirvana Heart Flower!
