Prince Kunwu, the Hottest Name Around
The Hundred-Year Phoenix Festival, which lasted for two months, concluded. Nine-Phoenix Kunwu, as the best performer among the Nascent Soul Late Stage prodigies, received a large number of rewards under the guidance of Nine Phoenix Crown Prince.
This naturally includes the Nirvana Pool slots, which are extremely precious even within the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty, and are the highest-level Nirvana Pools.
Beneath the towering Wutong Tree, a Sage Manifestation from the Nine-Phoenix Clan led a dozen or so geniuses who had excelled in the Phoenix Festival's martial arts and philosophical debate into the "Nirvana Secret Realm."
Flames filled the gate to the Secret Realm, with divine fire phoenixes swirling and circling around its surface, releasing surging Fire Origin Power that created various strange phenomena.
Nine-Phoenix Kunwu felt a blur before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the scene before him changed completely.
A series of massive Volcano are scattered throughout the Secret Realm.
Each Volcano represents a Nirvana Pool.
The closer you get to the center of the Secret Realm, the taller the Volcano becomes, reaching straight into the Yun Tian. The higher the level of the Nirvana Pool it contains, the better the effect of tempering your bloodline.
However, among the Nine-Phoenix geniuses present, only two were able to enjoy the most advanced Nirvana Pool.
One of them is Nine-Phoenix Kunwu, Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation level.
The other one is at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection Realm and belongs to Prince Wu Feng Faction.
"Alright, enter the corresponding Nirvana Pool according to your assigned slots. How far your bloodline can Bloodline Metamorphosis depends on your own destiny," the Sage Manifestation elder said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the geniuses' eyes suddenly burned with fervor. They transformed into their true forms, flapped their wings, and soared into the Volcano below with deafening Phoenix Cries.
Thump!!
Nine-Phoenix Kunwu plunged headfirst into the Nirvana Pool, the scalding red liquid flowing down its feathers.
The exceptionally pure bloodline power surged forth, instantly enveloping Nine-Phoenix Kunwu. Intense pain surged from all directions like a tidal wave, overwhelming it.
The baptism of the Nirvana Pool is by no means gentle; rather, it uses the most violent force to squeeze out the potential hidden within one's bloodline.
The Nine-Phoenix Dynasty did not restrict the time for using the Nirvana Pool because no member of the Nine-Phoenix Clan could persist in doing so indefinitely.
To sustain the baptism for a long time, one must maintain a clear mind, internalize the various insights that constantly surge from one's blood, and suppress the intense pain emanating from the depths of one's body and even soul.
In such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to persist for even ten days or half a month, which can be described as having Steadfast Will and a significant improvement in one's bloodline. It is almost impossible to stay in the Nirvana Pool to receive baptism indefinitely.
However, Nine-Phoenix Kunwu was different. After entering the Nirvana Pool, he immersed his consciousness in the Dao Comprehension Space, desperately absorbing the insights that kept surging from his bloodline.
Meanwhile, the Shanhai are taking care of my body, which means that the effects of severe pain are avoided, and the time I can endure it is greatly extended.
And so, with the help of the Shanhai in an unknown location, the bloodline of the Nine-Phoenix Kunwu underwent Bloodline Metamorphosis little by little under the extreme tempering of the Nirvana Pool, and its aura grew stronger and stronger.
As time went by, one by one, the geniuses of the Nine-Phoenix Clan were expelled from the Nirvana Pool. They were mostly unconscious and were sent out of the Secret Realm by the Nine-Phoenix Clan Elders who were waiting nearby.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and within the Nirvana Secret Realm, only the Nine-Phoenix Kunwu remains.
At first, the Sage Manifestation elder and the Nine Phoenix Crown Prince waiting outside were quite pleasantly surprised.
Then, another two months passed, and they began to frown.
There's another possibility that it hasn't come out for so long: it couldn't withstand the power of the Nirvana Pool and has already perished. This isn't without precedent.
However, the Nine-Phoenix Clan has a rule that no one may actively Detection the Nirvana Pool for more than a year, so as not to cause any adverse effects.
And so, after waiting for almost half a year, the Nine-Phoenix Clan Elder hurriedly came to the Nirvana Pool where the Nine-Phoenix Kunwu was located to check on the situation.
However, at this moment, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the Nirvana Pool, the crimson water swelled up, and a phoenix head emerged from it.
The second one, the third one, the fourth one... and the fifth one!
Cracking!!
As the Nine-Phoenix Kunwu soared through the air, the surging power of their bloodline condensed behind them into the phantom of a Nine-Phoenix Divine Beast, exuding a domineering and sacred aura, with a grand and imposing presence that looked down upon all directions.
"A phenomenon of ancestral reversion, the aptitude of Five-Headed Phoenix..." The Nine-Phoenix Clan Elder murmured to himself as he watched the Nine-Phoenix Kunwu soaring freely in the sky.
Immediately afterward, a surge of joy welled up in the old man's heart. He quickly took out his Communication Law Treasure and informed the Nine Phoenix Emperor of the matter.
Every prodigy with the potential of Five-Headed Phoenix is a true treasure to the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty.
Their advancement to the Sage Manifestation Realm was almost a natural progression, and reaching the Sage Manifestation Great Perfection was only a matter of time.
Before the Interface War began, Five-Headed Phoenixes with the necessary aptitude were able to successfully Ascension the Spirit Realm.
In times of war, a prodigy with the talent of a Five-Headed Phoenix holds immense significance.
As long as it can grow step by step, it will become another pillar of the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty.
Soon, upon receiving the news, Nine Phoenix Crown Prince arrived at the Nirvana Secret Realm with great excitement. After sensing that the pure bloodline within Nine-Phoenix Kunwu was in no way inferior to his own, he couldn't help but laugh heartily, pat the latter on the shoulder, and say "good" several times.
With a Five-Headed Phoenix prodigy supporting him, Crown Nine Phoenix Crown Prince's influence and appeal will increase significantly, and the Imperial Lord faction will be able to slightly surpass Prince Wu Feng's side.
After the excitement subsided, Crown Prince Jiufeng led Nine Phoenix Crown Prince Nine-Phoenix Kunwu away from the Nirvana Secret Realm to pay homage to Nine Phoenix Emperor.
Upon meeting Nine-Phoenix Kunwu, the latter naturally offered encouragement, praise, and attempts to win him over. The following day, he urgently convened a court meeting and, in front of a group of high-ranking officials from the Nine Phoenix Realm, bestowed upon the former the title of His Dynasty Highness.
Their treatment was comparable to that of a prince, and they could freely enter and exit most of the Nine-Phoenix Clan's forbidden areas.
In an instant, Nine-Phoenix Kunwu, the newly emerging genius at the Phoenix Festival, became a highly sought-after figure in the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty and even the Nine Phoenix Realm.
