The Beginning Legend, Phoenix Nine-Yi

Legend of the Beginning, Phoenix Nine-Yi

In the living room of the old house, a few people sat in a circle around the dining table.

On the sofa nearby, Na'er was sucking on a lollipop, her pair of crimson eyes blinking as she watched the group.

In the end, it was Leng Yaozhu who spoke first.

Her expression was very serious, one could even say she was nervous.

"Wuji, tell me carefully, what exactly is going on?"

Qiangu Wuji said helplessly.

"Mom, didn't I already tell you? I don't know what happened either. At the time, I just felt a heat in my body, and then a voice appeared in my head, talking about some True Phoenix bloodline..."

He blinked his eyes curiously.

"Mom, do you think this could be because of my Heavenly Phoenix martial soul? What exactly is our Heavenly Phoenix martial soul?"

"Of course not," hearing him say this, Leng Yaozhu shook her head bitterly. "The Heavenly Phoenix martial soul is a top-tier beast martial soul, but it is not the strongest. The situation you are experiencing is likely because of yourself."

Qiangu Wuji nodded, understanding in his heart. When reading the original work, it never mentioned that the Heavenly Phoenix was some top-tier martial soul; at the very least, it couldn't compare to the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings.

However, if this wasn't because of the Heavenly Phoenix martial soul, then what was it?

"Although the Heavenly Phoenix martial soul is not the peak of beast martial souls, I have heard a legend."

Just as he was completely baffled, Leng Yaozhu suddenly changed the subject and continued.

"On our continent, there is a legend. It is said that in the long passage of time, when the world was first created, there were mountains, rivers, space, time, fire, lightning, and other major elements between heaven and earth... And in those ancient times, there was a creature known as the dragon that walked through endless ages alongside these things."

"Among them, there was a genius of the dragon race who defeated countless opponents of his own kind, eventually attaining the supreme godhood and creating the Dragon God Realm. He was the Dragon God."

Qiangu Wuji knew these things, so he wasn't surprised, but he felt that since the other party was saying this, there must be something else he didn't know; otherwise, she wouldn't have brought it up.

And indeed, as Leng Yaozhu reached this point, she shifted her tone again.

"But although the Dragon God was powerful, he was not the only beast god. In these long ages, he also had opponents."

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji was stunned. The Dragon God wasn't the supreme god of beasts? He truly didn't know that.

These things weren't in the original work, though it might be because he had only read the first three parts and had transmigrated before he could really look at the newly released fourth part.

"The second beast god is the Phoenix Nine-Yi, right?"

This time it was Gu Yue who spoke, the young girl saying it calmly, ripples of water flowing in the depths of her eyes.

"Legend has it that before the Dragon God ascended to godhood, he had an opponent. That was a creature born from the Blue Magic Bird of time and space, which is the True Phoenix. It was the only existence in the Dragon God's endless years capable of standing on equal footing with him."

Gu Yue glanced at Qiangu Wuji, feeling very suspicious in her heart.

Although the God of Phoenix was powerful, she knew very well that when the Dragon God ascended to godhood, a great battle broke out between the two sides, and in the end, this only True Phoenix completely perished. By all logic, it should be impossible for a True Phoenix bloodline to still exist in this world.

Yet, she had clearly sensed that aura from the old rival on Qiangu Wuji earlier. Although it was very weak, almost negligible, it was the real deal.

What on earth was going on?

The two didn't notice the change in her expression, and Leng Yaozhu spoke again.

"Gu Yue is right."

She then added.

"But from the ancient documents I have understood in the past, it seems to say that the God of Phoenix had no offspring, so it is impossible for a bloodline identical to hers to appear."

"Impossible to appear?"

Qiangu Wuji murmured, but then he became confused. If she had no reproductive ability, then where did the phoenix-type martial souls come from?

Thinking of this, he asked what was on his mind.

"Then what about our Heavenly Phoenix martial soul? Isn't it said that the God of Phoenix had no reproductive ability? Then phoenix martial souls shouldn't exist in the world at all."

"Silly child, all phoenix-type martial souls, of course, have nothing to do with the God of Phoenix. I have heard a legend that our native soul beasts, tracing back to their roots, were actually nurtured by the power of the Dragon God, so..." Leng Yaozhu stopped halfway, her expression as she looked at Qiangu Wuji very grave. "But if your martial soul has truly awakened the True Phoenix bloodline, that would mean it has broken away from the power of the Dragon God."

Her eyes became scorching, looking at Qiangu Wuji with a radiant glow.

If this were really the case, she dared not imagine the heights her son could reach in the future; it might even exceed that of the first sect master of the Tang Sect...

Qiangu Wuji took a deep breath, secretly clicking his tongue as well.

After the two said this, he realized what kind of advantage the system had secured for him.

Possessing the True Phoenix bloodline, he was undoubtedly no longer inferior to Tang Wulin and Gu Yue in this regard.

However, suddenly, he thought of another question. According to the system's previous statement, the complete True Phoenix bloodline was only level nine, on the same level as the Golden Dragon King.

But wasn't the Golden Dragon King the other half of the Dragon God? Since the God of Phoenix was an existence capable of standing on equal footing with the Dragon God, how could she only be on the same level as the Golden Dragon King?

Could it be that above the level nine bloodline, there were even higher existences?

"Come, I'll take you to get tested."

Just then, Leng Yaozhu grabbed his hand and stood up.

"If you have awakened the True Phoenix bloodline, your body must have changed."

Qiangu Wuji nodded upon hearing this, as he also happened to want to test himself right now.

The testing location Leng Yaozhu found was not far away; it was the local Spirit Pagoda.

Although Aolai City was only a small place, it naturally lacked none of the facilities that a Spirit Pagoda should have.

Upon arriving, Leng Yaozhu stated her identity directly. Once the staff saw such a big shot had arrived, they naturally didn't hesitate to call over the person in charge of the local Spirit Pagoda.

The person in charge was a chubby man. After hearing the purpose of their visit, he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a room specifically for testing.

This was an equipment room equipped with precision instruments for various tests, and the room was packed, giving it a strong sense of technology.

After arriving here, Qiangu Wuji followed Leng Yaozhu's instructions and tested various physical data points one after another.

First was strength.

One hundred and twenty kilograms.

This was a very ordinary level for a one-ring spirit master, perhaps even slightly weak.

Then he tested his spiritual power, which was one hundred and fifty-one.

This data was quite exaggerated, leaving the staff member responsible for the test stunned.

However, Qiangu Wuji was very confused. This wasn't right; he knew very well that his spiritual power had already reached one hundred and fifty before coming here, so it was normal for it to have increased by one point after such a long time.

Next, he tested his spirit power, which was still at level eleven with no changes.

Everything seemed to be the same as before.

Could there be a mistake?

Leng Yaozhu looked at the data with disappointment. Although this data was already heaven-defying, it didn't look the way she had imagined a True Phoenix bloodline awakening should.

"I wonder if the direction of the test was wrong?"

Qiangu Wuji thought of the flames that had appeared on his body at school earlier and voiced his thoughts.

"Wrong?"

Leng Yaozhu looked at him in confusion.

Qiangu Wuji didn't speak; he simply closed his eyes silently and chanted in his heart, Rise!

In an instant, the flames that had previously covered his body appeared once again, and he began to burn like a fireball.

Leng Yaozhu's eyes widened, and she exclaimed aloud.

"This is...?"
