Zhukun's Shock: Mass-Producing Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruits? Yun Yun's Request

"The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!" Elder Qingmu's shocked voice rang out.

"The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit! I never expected that the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit would still exist on the continent today!" Zhukun's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and at the same time, a trace of longing appeared in his eyes.

Without a doubt, becoming Dragon-Phoenix was an immense temptation, even for Half-Emperor like him.

However, the glimmer of longing in Zhukun's eyes lasted only a brief moment before vanishing.

He would rather Zi Yan become Dragon-Phoenix or Dragon-Phoenix than become one himself.

"Xiao Yan, tell me in detail, where did you obtain this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?" Zhukun asked.

Xiao Yan felt there was no need to hide it, so he told them about how he went to the ruins of the Creation Saint and obtained the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"In the Secret Realm of a low- Dou Sheng, a treasure as precious as the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was actually born, and it just so happened that you, Xiao Yan, obtained it."

"Xiao Yan, your good fortune truly surprises even this emperor." Zhukun sized up Xiao Yan, and the more he looked, the more extraordinary he seemed.

The conditions for the birth of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit are extremely demanding. It requires two powerful individuals from different races, both with cultivation levels of at least Dou Sheng, to perish simultaneously in one place for it to have a very small chance of being born.

Such a treasure has only appeared five times in the entire history recorded by the Ancient Void Dragon, and only six times including this one.

Faced with Zhukun's praise, Xiao Yan simply smiled and then asked, "Senior, what should we do with this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?"

Zhukun replied without hesitation, "Of course, it should be given to Yan'er to absorb."

The energy of this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is powerful. After Yan'er absorbs it, her cultivation will definitely improve by a great margin. If I were to absorb it instead, my cultivation would not improve at all, which would be a great waste of this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

In addition, Yan'er is still young and has great potential, so her chances of successfully absorbing the nutrients are the highest.

Xiao Yan nodded; he knew that Zhukun wouldn't compete with Zi Yan for the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"Give this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit to me, and I will personally help Yan'er absorb it. With my assistance, the effect will definitely be better than absorbing it on Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit Dragon Island." Zhukun paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yan: "However, I will need your help, Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Yan immediately replied, "Please speak freely, Senior."

Zhukun said tentatively, "Yan'er's cultivation is still shallow. Although she has high potential and is at the best age to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, there is a high chance that she cannot withstand the enormous energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and she may very well form what is called crystallization."

Xiao Yan secretly gave Zhukun a thumbs up. As expected of a veteran, he predicted Zi Yan's ending in the original work in one go.

From this, he could deduce that he probably knew what kind of help Zhukun wanted from him.

"Senior Zhukun, do you need me to use my Heavenly Flames to help Zi Yan absorb the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?" Xiao Yan asked.

Zhukun nodded. "That's right, we need a sufficiently strong Heavenly Flames to help Yan'er digest the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit."

"Judging from the intense heat emanating from you, Xiao Yan, you must possess a high-grade Heavenly Flames, right?"

Xiao Yan nodded.

"Xiao Yan, have you thought this through? Helping Yan'er absorb the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit will take you one or two months, working tirelessly and constantly channeling your Heavenly Flames. Are you willing to endure this hardship?" Zhukun asked seriously, staring intently at Xiao Yan. It seemed that if he saw even the slightest hesitation in Xiao Yan, he would reconsider.

"Of course, no problem." Xiao Yan replied without hesitation; this was something he had anticipated.

"Brother~" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan and called out softly, a subtle and special affection flashing in her eyes.

"Alright! Then I'll have to trouble you then!" Zhukun's eyes showed more approval.

After thinking for a while, Zhukun finally made up his mind. He patted his chest and spat out five drops of thick essence blood, which landed in front of Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, I have nothing else to give you. These five drops of essence blood are the only thing I can offer you that is of any use right now."

"Take it and absorb it to quickly improve your cultivation!" Zhukun's face paled slightly, but his authority remained undiminished.

Xiao Yan opened his mouth slightly, feeling extremely surprised.

He was wondering how he should ask for the essence blood, but to his surprise, Zhukun gave it to him voluntarily, and it was five drops of essence blood, which was more than he expected.

Could it be related to him voluntarily activating his [Mysterious Yellow] Heaven-Swallowing Talent?

If so, then that Heaven-Swallowing Talent is truly remarkable.

Of the five drops of essence blood, three should be given to Hai Bodong, Qing Lin, and Xiao Yi Xian.

The remaining two drops are enough for him to advance his cultivation to the Late Four-Star Dou Sheng!

(As mentioned before, but some readers may not have read it carefully, so I will explain it again in detail here.)

The protagonist's physical strength is referred to as that of Four-Star Dou Sheng, meaning that the protagonist can rival a normal Four-Star Dou Sheng by relying solely on his physical strength, without using Dou Qi or Soul Power.

It's not that the protagonist's physical strength is the same as that of an ordinary Four-Star Dou Sheng.

Therefore, you can directly consider the protagonist's physical cultivation level as the protagonist's actual cultivation level.

"Senior, I've got it!" Xiao Yan cupped his hands in greeting, knowing that words were no substitute for actions.

"Hmm." Zhukun said no more, his face pale.

The loss of his essence from giving away ten drops of blood essence last time hasn't been recovered yet, and now he's given away five more drops, which is a huge loss for him.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan made no attempt to conceal his presence, and a vibrant green flame suddenly erupted from his palm.

Following that were the Yang Flame of the Yin-Yang Dual Flame and the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Three flames erupted simultaneously, enveloping the Zhukun.

"Senior, these three flames are incredibly effective at healing injuries. Don't resist them," Xiao Yan said.

Zhukun simply nodded, letting the three flames fall on him.

The next instant, the healing power of the three flames took effect on Zhukun.

In particular, the Life Spirit Flame, with its extremely high-quality life force, poured into Zhukun's Zhukun, immediately improving his complexion significantly.

Zhukun opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Yan, the life force of this flame has a miraculous effect on me, even accelerating the recovery speed of my origin."

"With such effects, could this fire be the Life Spirit Flame, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking?"

Upon closer inspection, Zhukun was even more astonished. "Three Thousand Burning Flame... and Yin-Yang Dual Flame..."

Xiao Yan, you've mastered three Heavenly Flames?!

Xiao Yan did not reply. His internal Dou Qi was rapidly depleted until only one-tenth remained before he withdrew the flames.

As the Flame Mantra automatically activated, he smiled at Zhukun and said, "Senior, it's not just that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan summoned all the Heavenly Flames within his body.

Mysterious Yellow Flame, Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, Yin-Yang Dual Flame, Netherworld Earth Flame Green Lotus Core Flame, Wind Fury Dragon Flame, Volcanic Rock Flame, Fire Cloud Water Flame, Sea Heart Flame Fallen Heart Flame Turtle Spirit Earthfire Fire, Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Three Thousand Burning Flame, Life Spirit Flame.

A total of fifteen Heavenly Flames obediently hovered around Xiao Yan, causing the temperature of the space to rise rapidly.

"Fifteen Heavenly Flames!" Zhukun was so shocked he was numb.

Even though it wasn't their first meeting, he still felt like he was meeting Xiao Yan for the first time.

Of course, he wasn't shocked that Xiao Yan had managed to obtain so many Heavenly Flames.

What truly shocked him was that he saw the shadow of the Tou She Ancient God in Xiao Yan!

In its earliest days, when he was just a young dragon, Tou She Ancient God appeared out of nowhere and mastered almost all the Heavenly Flames!

"Xiao Yan, it seems I need to reassess you." Zhukun knew he had to completely bind Xiao Yan to his side.

He glanced at his beloved daughter, Zi Yan, lost in thought.

Xiao Yan put away all the Heavenly Flames and said to Zhukun, "Senior, we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other in the future."

"Yes, there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other." Zhukun didn't say much, but he observed more closely the way Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yan.

"By the way, senior, is this sapling that grows the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit useful?" Xiao Yan asked.

Zhukun glanced at it and shook his head, saying, "This sapling has lost its vitality and is useless."

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan used his [Withering and Flourishing] Heaven-Swallowing Talent, pouring his boundless life force into the sapling.

Soon, the sapling straightened its trunk and even grew a branch.

"This..." Zhukun hadn't expected such a thing. "The Life Spirit Flame has such heaven-defying effects?"

Xiao Yan didn't explain, but simply asked, "Senior, is this sapling working now?"

Zhukun said earnestly, "This sapling has regained its vitality and is ready to bear fruit again."

However, it currently lacks sufficient nutrients to nurture a completely new Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

Upon hearing Zhukun's words, Xiao Yan immediately pressed, "Senior, what if I were to add additional nutrients to it?"

The other Three Dragon Islands and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan all possessed Dou Sheng experts!

Zhukun's eyes lit up, but he still shook his head. "It's not that simple. The bloodlines of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix are both top-tier magical beast bloodlines, and they will spontaneously clash."

The chances of achieving a balanced integration are extremely low.

If the two bloodline energies cannot merge, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit will not be born.

This is why the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is so rare.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was not disappointed at all; instead, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

This is indeed a problem that is unsolvable for others.

But don't forget, he possesses the Heaven-Swallowing Talent [Balance]!

This means that as long as he has a Dou Sheng Ancient Void Dragon and Dou Sheng Heavenly Demon Phoenix as nourishment, he can directly create another Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit!

Thinking of this, even with Xiao Yan's current state of mind, he couldn't help but feel excited, and only after taking a deep breath did he calm down.

He didn't reveal that he could mass-produce Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit; he simply took the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and handed them to Zhukun, then put the sapling into his Storage Ring.

He didn't say anything more.

Next, Xiao Yan voluntarily gave up his seat so that Qingmu and Zhukun could chat and exchange information.

After Qingmu finished explaining the current situation of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, Zhukun said to Qingmu, "You can completely trust Xiao Yan. He has the Emperor's scales. He went to Dragon Island, and resources will be fully supplied to him."

If there's anything you can't handle on your own, go and ask Xiao Yan for instructions, understand?"

Elder Qingmu respectfully replied, "Yes, Your His Majesty the Dragon Emperor!"

He then turned to Xiao Yan: "Alliance Xiao... no, Lord Xiao, I look forward to your guidance in the future."

Xiao Yan did not refuse.

Gaining control of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan would only benefit him.

After this exchange, Xiao Yan decided to leave.

Qingmu also wanted to return to Dragon Island to inform the other Ancient Void Dragon of the Void that Zhukun was still alive.

So, after a brief farewell to Qingmu, Xiao Yan flew away, leaving only Zi Yan behind to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

"Xiao Yan, come back here in three months," Zhukun reminded him.

"Yes!" Xiao Yan kept it in mind, and then left the hidden space with Qingmu.

From the bottom of the magma, the man and the dragon quickly returned to the surface.

"Lord Xiao, I'll be returning to Dragon Island now. Just contact me if you need anything." Elder Qingmu left a token engraved with Token character "Mu" and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan's pattern with Xiao Yan Xiao Yan before parting ways with him.

Xiao Yan didn't linger and headed back to Tian Shu City.

In an endless dark space.

Seeing the reluctance on Zi Yan's face, Zhukun suddenly asked, "Yan'er, would you be willing to become Xiao Yan's partner?"

"I'm willing!" Under the sudden questioning, Zi Yan gave her most honest answer.

When she realized what she had said, she instantly looked at Zhukun with embarrassment and anger. "I'm ignoring you!"

Zhukun was not frightened. Instead, he said, "Yan'er, Xiao Yan is a blessed, Heaven-Swallowing Talent, handsome, polite, and affectionate person. There is hardly anyone like him on the entire continent. He certainly has no shortage of women."

Yan'er, if you really have this idea, remember to act quickly!

Zi Yan pursed her lips and whispered, "They're all so big, how could I possibly..."

Zhukun smiled and said, "Yan'er, you are in your infancy now, so it's natural that you are petite."

Once you absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, you will directly reach maturity and become a young woman.

"At that time, with your beauty when you grow up, Yan'er, how could Xiao Yan possibly refuse?"

Zi Yan's eyes widened slightly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"

Zhukun nodded. "Of course!"

Zi Yan said impatiently, "Then I want to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit now, Father, hurry up!"

"Hahaha, great!" Zhukun laughed and responded.

Tian Shu City.

In the Small Courtyard.

Xiao Yan tore through space and took a step forward.

In the courtyard, apart from Qing Lin and Yao Ling, a familiar figure immediately caught Xiao Yan's eye.

"Yun'er!" Xiao Yan called out.

In the courtyard, Yun Yun turned around.

She was stunningly beautiful, with long, flowing hair, and her white dress accentuated her graceful figure.

She stood there, exuding an air of elegance and grace, with delicate and gentle features, and her gaze towards Xiao Yan was always filled with tender affection.

However, this love also contained a trace of indelible sorrow, which, combined with the faint tear stains at the corners of her eyes, made Xiao Yan's heart tighten immediately.

"Yun'er, have you been crying?"

What happened? Is it because I haven't visited you lately?

"I promise you, I'll make time for you more, okay?" Xiao Yan comforted her, feeling truly guilty towards the woman who had given him everything.

"I'm fine. If you're done with your work, just let me see you."

I cried because of Yanran... She's trapped in the Dou Saint Ruins, and I can't rescue her.

"Xiao Yan... I know you've never liked Yanran, but could you please save her this once, for my sake..." Yun Yun's voice was pleading, her body went limp, and she was about to bend over.

Xiao Yan quickly helped the other person up and said seriously, "Whether I like it or not, I've long since stopped thinking about that matter."

To me, she is only your disciple.

"If that's the case, how could I not save them?"

Don't worry, I've got everything under control!

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yun Yun seemed to have found a support, pressed herself against Xiao Yan's chest, and softly murmured "Mmm~".
