Ambitions for a phoenix form (4/4)

To summon a Legendary phoenix was something no one expected.

The Fire Elemental Plane is so vast that even the Fire Elemental Lords Ragnaros cannot completely rule its entire territory.

Countless fire elemental creatures of all kinds were born there. Even the current Dragon Aspects was actually an elemental creature tens of thousands of years ago, but its status was far inferior to that of the current Fire Elemental Lords.

The elements were the original rulers of Azeroth!

The phoenix is a rather special fire elemental creature, possessing the characteristics of rebirth and immortality. However, due to limitations such as its size, the phoenix in this world is not as powerful as imagined. The most powerful phoenix known is only at the Legendary level, and even that is just a regular Legendary.

Of Sunstrider family throughout history, Kael'thas's phoenix "O" was the most powerful.

This kind of summoning is related to the summoner's strength, fire specialization, and other aspects.

Simply put, the summoning circle allows the summoner to find the phoenix directly in the Fire Elemental Plane and summon it into the mortal world. As for how powerful the phoenix can be summoned, it depends on the strength of the summoning circle.

The summoning circle they've created is of extremely high quality, designed to reflect the Sunstrider family's magnanimity and sincerity. The casting materials are the finest, and the Arcane Crystal are the size of basketballs—very rare—enough to summon the most powerful phoenix.

But Kael'thas never imagined he could summon a Legendary phoenix, because that depended on luck.

Summoning spells are contingent upon mutual consent.

Archmage Arugal was able to summon Worgen from the Emerald Dream not only because he had found a way to open the passage to the Emerald Dream, but also because the Worgen had wanted to come out in the first place.

Mages can Summon Water Elemental minions from the Water Elemental Plane because Water Elemental minions have almost no intelligence; they come when you summon them.

Phoenixes are high-level fire elemental creatures far superior to ordinary Water Elemental, at least at the level of Flamewaker, possessing their own spirit, soul, and intelligence. Even if a summoning array is opened, the phoenix must be willing to come.

Kael'thas, within the summoning circle, communicated with the phoenixes through mental power, telling them that there was a powerful Legendary sword here for them to attach themselves to. He claimed that their souls and energy levels would gradually grow stronger with each kill the sword inflicted. This was a very compelling argument, enough to persuade the more powerful phoenixes.

However, there was no guarantee that he could persuade the Legendary Phoenix.

How many Legendary phoenixes are there in the entire Fire Elemental Plane?

Otherwise, how could a mere Legendary- level phoenix like "Ao" be called the " Phoenix God "?

In fact, when Phoenix "O" was summoned to this world and made a pact with Kael'thas, it was not a Legendary being.

Given Kael'thas's Legendary status as a mage at that time, he still couldn't attract a Legendary phoenix; what right did a divine sword have to qualify?

But he forgot that this sword also contained the fiery energy left behind by the Sun King, which was also the Phoenix Flames, and had a great attraction to the Phoenix.

More importantly, the sword Strom'kar possesses great spirituality, but it has not yet given birth to a true sword spirit—the original sword spirit was Emperor Thoradin himself, but Emperor Thoradin has long since disappeared and is now at peace.

This was a great temptation, but as Legendary phoenix, Pyralis also had his own dignity and pride.

It simply wanted to come to this world, devour the spiritual and fire energy within Strom'kar, and then swagger away, or return directly to the Fire Elemental Plane.

He's got a good plan.

Unfortunately, it didn't know that Kael'thas had already set up a Legendary- level sealing circle outside the summoning circle.

Thus, Pyralis was sealed away and became the spirit of Strom'kar's divine sword.

That's how tragic the story is.

Now that he had become the spirit of the divine sword, he had to obey the sword's master's orders. Despite his reluctance, Pyralis had no choice but to obey and contribute his power.

"I won't let you suffer, Pyralis."

"Follow me, and one day you will become the most powerful phoenix in the Fire Elemental Plane!" Jiang Jie chuckled, flicking his finger against the sword, producing a melodious ringing sound. "Don't flick my little chest! And what nonsense are you spouting? This Phoenix God is already the greatest phoenix in the Fire Elemental Plane!" The displeased Pyralis echoed in his mind, but the voice was very clear and pleasant to hear.

"What, you don't have confidence in me?" Jiang Jie chuckled, then used his mental power to knock on the game pod's door in his mind. " Xiao Feng, wake up! Look at this phoenix, is it different from the phoenixes over there?"

"Host, this is my sleep time every day, understand? Wait, Phoenix?"

Xiao Feng stretched lazily, his voice filled with curiosity. "Huh? Is it really a phoenix? Pretty much. Like the dragon and the Black Tortoise, the phoenix is also an imaginary creature, the king of birds. But some people have seen 'phoenixes' in other parts of the Milky Way. Actually, it's just a special kind of energy creature that can appear anywhere. Maybe somewhere in the universe, there's a real Phoenix God as powerful as a god or demon."

"So, can I acquire the form of a phoenix by visualizing it and studying it?" Jiang Jie asked.

"... I don't know." Xiao Feng shrugged and spread his hands. "Transforming Chi into a phoenix or Primal Split shouldn't be difficult, but truly becoming a phoenix is hard. After all, a phoenix is an energy being, not a true being of flesh and blood. Of course, you can try. After all, the phoenix in ancient Huaxia legends wasn't actually an energy being, but the true king of all birds. Give it a try; maybe you can become the father of the flying spirits of Azeroth."

"Then I'll have to discuss this with Aviana. She's not only Demigod of ravens, but also the Mother of Aviana." Jiang Jie frowned, deciding to give it a try.

He has always liked phoenixes; he has a particular fondness for them.

"Hey, hey, hey, did you hear me? What are you spacing out for! Poor Pyralis, turned into a divine sword spirit, and stuck with a stupid master with a problem in his head..." Pyralis's hissing echoed in his mind, and Jiang Jie quickly interrupted his communication with Xiao Feng.

"What did you just say? And your master isn't stupid... Does he really think I can't do anything to you? Be careful, or I'll drown you!" Jiang Jie threatened.

"Then you'll have to find Neptulon first," Pyralis muttered, his voice lowering slightly, still somewhat worried. "Remember, use this sword to kill people from now on, so I can devour souls and grow stronger! There's an ancient legend about the Phoenix Clan, that a phoenix once heard a voice from the depths of the starry sky, a creature named ' Icarus ' summoning us... I really want to go and see if it's true someday."

Jiang Jie ignored this completely unfamiliar name, assuming it was just something a phoenix had imagined, and thought it was nothing to worry about.

After the divine sword was reforged, Kael'thas did not leave, but remained on the Isle of Quel'Danas.

This was the earliest territory of the High Elf, and once their High Elf foundation; they could not possibly abandon it. Kael'thas, possessing Flamestrike, had reached the pinnacle of mortal power, likely the most powerful fire mage in Azeroth's history. Of course, it's hard to say whether there was a fire mage among the Keeper of Tirisfal in some previous era.

Kael'thas, filled with ambition, decided to lead the High Elf to completely eradicate the Sunwell, use fire to purify the Undead Plague, and then untangle the chaotic Ley Line energy there, restoring Quel'Danas to its former glory.

Kael'thas went to great lengths to help Jiang Jie reforge the divine sword Strom'kar, and even summoned a Legendary phoenix for him, naturally with ulterior motives: he still wanted to rebuild the Sunwell.

Jiang Jie agreed that once Isle of Quel'Danas was completely purified, Anveena could come and help condense the Ley Line energy. However, the condition was that Kael'thas had to find the " Blood of Titans," also known as the " Waters of the Well of Eternity," himself. Anveena could not give a part of her body to the High Elf, nor could she stay here forever.

How to find it?

Jiang Jie told Kael'thas that Illidan had already gone to Outland.

Although he took away many Night Elf and will soon train a very powerful Demon Hunter force called " Illidari," he is currently short of manpower.

In any case, the High Elf shouldn't pose much of a threat in the next few years. I might as well wait until I've finished dealing with a few things at hand, then go to Outland to help Illidan and get the last vial of the Waters of the Well of Eternity from him.

Illidan will be very happy, after all, there are too many demons in Outland, and one man can't fight against four. He needs help.

As for how to get there?

After Kel'Thuzad summoned Archimonde, Archimonde casually opened a portal to Outland, summoning demons from Outland to aid him. The foundation of that portal's magic circle remained intact.

It can be reopened as long as enough energy is provided.

Kael'thas made up his mind.

He didn't actually have much to do; it was simply a matter of purifying Isle of Quel'Danas, conquering Deatholme, planting the ancient miracle tree " Arcan'dor," hunting demons, and purging the Undead from Quel'Thalas.

Once the first three tasks are completed, the remaining two can be delegated to others.

"Well then, good luck, Kael'thas." Jiang Jie smiled, spread his wings, and flew south.
