With a crisp series of cracking sounds, the fire phoenix egg covered in phoenix patterns slowly split open.
Then, before the eyes of the two men, dazzling chains of divine law blossomed one after another, gathering into a crimson streak of light that transformed into a divine bird shaped like an immortal phoenix.
"Vermilion Bird!"
Chen Nianzhi murmured. The Vermilion Bird flew out, circled around him several times, then landed upon his arm.
The Lihuo Vermilion Bird rubbed against Chen Nianzhi and let out an affectionate cry.
This divine bird was magnificent beyond compare. Every wisp of flame blooming around its body possessed the power to burn a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord into tribulation ash.
Yet in Chen Nianzhi's eyes, the Lihuo Vermilion Bird was far more than that. It was like an innate divine spirit born from the Lihuo laws, a vessel for the power of laws amid the mortal world, born with supreme might.
"With the Lihuo Vermilion Bird ever at my side, perhaps I can draw upon the profundities of its Lihuo laws and begin comprehending the laws of Pure Yang Fire."
Chen Nianzhi teased the Lihuo Vermilion Bird, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Chen Changxuan nodded as well. Given Chen Nianzhi's comprehension and talent, now that he had reached this realm, it was indeed time for him to make preparations to comprehend the power of laws.
At that moment, Chen Changxuan turned his gaze toward the treasure lotus.
After the Lihuo Vermilion Bird was born, the treasure lotus burst with dazzling radiance. The nine lotus seeds atop it fell away, while the lotus itself transformed into a crimson lotus platform. Besides that, a section of lotus root also dropped down.
"What fine treasures."
Chen Nianzhi received the three treasures, and his gaze flickered slightly.
