The Undying Phoenix Talisman and the Qiongqi Realm's Plea for Aid
After the Four Symbols Nine Trials concluded, the Four Symbols Alliance publicly announced that Zhou Ye would become the Alliance's Saint Son.
Leaving aside the subsequent turmoil surrounding Zhou Ye, given Yang Tianyou's current status and position, he is already a high-level player, and he is too lazy to participate in low-level games. In any case, no matter what happens, it won't affect him.
As for the potential hardships that junior apprentice Zhou Ye might face, Yang Tianyou said that young people can't grow without some hardships. Anyway, it's just a matter of internal distribution of interests within the Alliance, so whatever happens is within our own pot.
In the days that followed, Yang Tianyou continued to spend his days in the Seclusion Chamber, either absorbing the spiritual Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to improve his cultivation, or immersing himself in the Dao Comprehension Space to comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth, or refining Fifth Tier Talisman Soldier to enhance the strength of his Lineage. Time passed little by little in this fulfilling life.
Before we knew it, another two years had passed.
On this day, a loud and high-pitched phoenix Phoenix Cry suddenly rang out in the Seclusion Chamber.
A Three-Headed Fire Phoenix danced gracefully around Yang Tianyou, its Phoenix True Fire blazing fiercely. Strangely, the flames did not appear scorching; instead, they were full of vitality.
The Phoenix soared, eventually transforming into a fiery red Talisman, which fluttered down and was caught in Yang Tianyou's palm.
"Finally, I succeeded! The Undying Phoenix Talisman!" A genuine smile flashed in Yang Tianyou's eyes.
In the previous battle, the Yang Household killed quite a few powerful members of the Nine-Phoenix Clan. The Phoenix Essence Blood, bones, wings, and other materials were rare and extremely precious.
The bodies of the Nine-Phoenix Clan can be used to forge War Flying Vessels, but their Essence Blood and feathers are excellent materials for Talisman Crafting.
The most remarkable thing about the Nine-Phoenix Clan is that they have multiple lives, and Yang Tianyou used this as a starting point to study it.
After numerous failures, he finally succeeded in refining this Undying Phoenix Talisman.
In the Cultivation World, there is a precious Talisman called the Substitute Death Talisman, which can take a fatal blow for a cultivator without harming itself. The effect is similar to that of the Undying Phoenix Talisman.
Compared to the Substitute Death Talisman, the materials for the Undying Phoenix Talisman are significantly easier to obtain.
Aren't the Nine-Phoenix Clan everywhere?
With the Yang Household's current material reserves, refining several hundred Undying Phoenix Talisman would be a piece of cake.
Of course, each cultivator can only use this kind of Talisman a limited number of times within a certain period of time!
Seemingly constrained by some rule within the Nine-Phoenix Essence Blood, frequent use of the Undying Phoenix Talisman to substitute for death within a short period will gradually lose its effectiveness, leading to complete annihilation.
Even so, the value of the Undying Phoenix Talisman is beyond doubt, and Yang Tianyou was able to develop it thanks to the Dao Comprehension Space.
His Law Power surged forth, drawing the newly crafted Undying Phoenix Talisman into his Dantian for nurturing. If Yang Tianyou suffered a fatal injury, this Talisman would die in his place.
After obtaining the first one, there was a second and a third. Three months later, Yang Tianyou had accumulated a stack of Undying Phoenix Talisman.
He distributed them to some important members of the Lineage, including his wife Yunhua, his Old Ancestors Yang Haoyu, Yang Xuanwu, and Yang Xuanyang, giving each of them two cards, which was equivalent to having several extra lives.
The remaining Undying Phoenix Talisman were placed in the Clan Treasury by Yang Tianyou and included in the exchange List, allowing clan members to exchange them using their Lineage Contribution Points.
After finishing all that, Yang Tianyou was about to go into seclusion to cultivate when he received a message from the Alliance Headquarters, asking him to attend a meeting.
Previously, a letter requesting assistance from the Qiongqi Realm had been sent to the headquarters of the Lu Wu Realm Alliance.
Beside the large, round wooden table, a group of imposing figures sat on their thrones; these were the true highest echelons of the Lu Wu Realm.
They are either the lords of Sacred Lands or powerful figures at the Mid Sage Manifestation or above. Ordinary Sage Manifestation and heads of Province-Level Power would not be sitting here.
Yang Tianyou leaned back on his throne, his index finger lightly tapping the armrest, his eyes slightly closed.
"Alright, everyone's here, let's begin the meeting!" Spiritvoid Pavilion Master looked around at everyone and said with a smile.
"The Qiongqi Realm has sent a letter requesting aid, asking our Lu Wu Realm to send troops to help them push the Nine Phoenix Realm's army back to the Realm Gate. What are your thoughts on this?"
Unlike the Lu Wu Realm, the Qiongqi Realm suffered too much damage in the early stages of the war, while the Nine Phoenix Realm had already established a firm foothold within its own territory, building a very solid Defense System and Vanguard Fortress.
Even though the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty was outmaneuvered and suffered heavy losses in the previous great battle,
However, the various races of the Nine Phoenix Realm have no intention of abandoning these Defense Systems. Despite their retreat, they have left behind enough forces to guard them.
These bridgeheads are like nails driven into the heart of the Qiongqi Realm.
If it is not eliminated, once the Realm Gate expands again, the Lu Wu Realm will be better off facing the regrouped Nine Phoenix Realm. It has a buffer period of several decades. Relying on its strong war potential, its strength is increasing rapidly every moment. It is still very confident that it can survive the First-Tier of the war.
The Qiongqi Realm is in dire straits. According to their calculations, once Late Sage Manifestation expert enters the Realm Gate, there is a greater than 70% chance that the Qiongqi Realm will fall directly, and all forces will lose the vast majority of their territory, leaving them only able to defend their own mountain gates.
However, having lost these resource-producing territories and strategic depth, Qiongqi Realm became like meat on Chopping Block, at the mercy of others.
Therefore, the higher-ups of the Qiongqi Realm thought that while the Nine Phoenix Realm was in chaos, they should join forces with the Lu Wu Realm to eradicate all the cancers within the Qiongqi Realm.
The Realm Gate was sealed off in preparation for the First-Tier of the war.
"What price is the Qiongqi Realm prepared to pay?" the Azure Ox Demon Lord asked, his voice deep and calm.
"These are their bids!" Spiritvoid Pavilion Master pointed, and a giant light screen appeared on the table, displaying all sorts of rare resources, most of which were special products of the Qiongqi Realm.
Examples include Filthy Blood Essence Stone, Supreme Yin Nether Spring, and Ghost Soul Divine Wood.
