The Forbidden Technique "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix": A Cuckoo Usurps the Phoenix's Nest (Happy Qixi Festival, Everyone!)

Whisper!

As Du Yuxian activated a Law Seals, a phoenix cry, seemingly real yet illusory, echoed within the "Cuckoo Secret Realm."

The next moment, everyone saw that in the mountains, rivers, land and forests of the "Cuckoo Secret Realm", the spiritual light of arrays and restrictions appeared, forming an array ritual that almost covered the entire "Cuckoo Secret Realm".

The core of this ritual formation is not in the center of the secret realm, but in the south of the "Cuckoo Secret Realm," where there is a volcano. At this moment, the ground erupts with fire and lava flows out, and an altar burning with flames rises from it. The altar is carved with the scene of "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix paying homage to the phoenix."

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the "hundred birds" carved on the altar are all images of the bloodline of the servant Lineage under the command of the "True Spirit Cuckoo" in "Cuckoo County".

There are over a hundred species, including tits, Blazing Fire Bird, Sparrow, sparrows, Swift, Hummingbird, Wood Owl, Shrike, Peacock, geese, warblers, and thrushes.

However, some of these bloodline-based servant Lineage are still in "Cuckoo County," but they have already been wiped out.

The bloodline images of the still-existing servant Lineage are dim and lackluster; while the bloodline images of the extinct servant Lineage are shimmering with a brilliant and vibrant light, as if they were alive.

Such as tits, cranes, Blazing Fire Bird, geese, and warblers!

The "Phoenix" worshipped by these "hundred birds" is not a true Phoenix, but rather resembles Cuckoo!

The cuckoo has usurped the phoenix's nest!

Although the carving has tried its best to make the "Cuckoo" resemble the "Phoenix," with its feathers carved and depicted in a very ornate manner, and even a crown with a five-colored canopy carved on its top.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems like "a monkey wearing a crown," which looks rather ridiculous.

But at this moment, none of the cultivators in this "Cuckoo Secret Realm" could laugh.

As the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix" formation ceremony began, and the "Phoenix Terrace" rose from the volcano, the cultivators of the servant Lineage felt their own bloodline power stirring, as if it wanted to break free from their bodies and rush towards the "Phoenix Terrace" on the volcano, and into the "hundred birds" statues.

As for the cultivators of the "Fire Crow" Ya Household, although they did not feel any changes in their bloodline, they were all staring in shock at the grand formation ceremony that enveloped the secret realm, as well as the "Phoenix Terrace" with its "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix paying homage to the phoenix," their eyes filled with disbelief.

The leader, Ya Zhaoying, exclaimed in shock, "Du Yuxian, your Du Household has gone mad! The A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix Forbidden Technique is a forbidden technique explicitly prohibited by the ' Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty '! How dare your Du Household secretly practice this forbidden technique!"

"Haha..." At this moment, Du Yuxian Lineage, had already flown down from the "Cuckoo Feather Boat" and landed on the "Phoenix Terrace." He opened his arms wide, as if a "Phoenix" were receiving the "homage of a hundred birds," and laughed loudly:

"As long as you all die in this ' Cuckoo Secret Realm,' who will know that our Du Household has practiced the forbidden technique ' A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix '?"

"At that time, there will only be one vibrant and promising newly promoted ' Eighth-Grade True Spirit ' Lineage, the ' Cuckoo True Spirit ' Du Household!"

"Now, let your bloodline merge into this forbidden technique, 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix,' becoming the resources to help my ' Cuckoo True Spirit ' Du Household rise from the ashes and transform into a phoenix soaring into the heavens! This will be your honor!"

Chirp!

As Du Yuxian finished speaking, a Cuckoo's cry rang out, and the figure of the "Cuckoo True Spirit Cuckoo True Spirit Star" that manifested in the sky of the secret realm. It swooped down from the star and landed on the "Phoenix Terrace" that was bathed in fire.

As the "Cuckoo True Spirit" descended and chirped, it seemed as if the ritual had been fully initiated.

The cultivators from the servant Lineage all sensed that the projection of the "Cuckoo True Spirit Star" in their "Dantian qi sea" was violently shaking, as if it had come to life and transformed into a ferocious and terrifying "Cuckoo Fierce Bird". It directly grabbed the bloodline power in their bodies, broke out of their bodies, and flew towards the "Phoenix Terrace".

Thus, within this "Cuckoo Secret Realm," a series of shrill, desperate screams rang out. One after another, "Cuckoo Ferocious Birds," their claws gleaming with starlight, clutched various birds formed from the power of their bloodline—parrots, thrushes, sparrows, Sparrow, Swift, Shrike, Wood Owl Hummingbird, and so on—leaving a trail of blood as they plunged into the "Phoenix Terrace."

The forty or fifty bird carvings on the Phoenix Terrace, which were still dim, gradually lit up and became imbued with spirituality.

"No! My lord! We, the Feng Household, are loyal servants of the Du Household. We have acted entirely according to your orders and have never betrayed the Du Household in the slightest!"

"Sir, spare my life!"

"You promised that as long as we obeyed, you would spare the lives of the Lin Household..."

"Your Du Household is untrustworthy!"

At this moment, a series of shrill, desperate, and angry cries of betrayal rang out. These were the voices of several Lineage cultivators, including the "Hummingbird" Feng Household and the "Wood Owl" Lin Household, who had chosen to side with the Du Household and betray their servant Lineage.

They too could not escape this "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix" sacrifice. The projection of the "Cuckoo True Spirit Star" in their "Dantian Qi Sea" also transformed into "Fierce Cuckoo Birds," directly seizing their bloodline power, breaking out of their bodies, and transforming into Hummingbird, Wood Owl, and other creatures formed from fresh blood. These creatures also entered the "Phoenix Terrace," illuminating and imbuing the Hummingbird, Wood Owl, and other statues carved on the "Phoenix Terrace" with their spirits.

"Shut up!" Faced with the pleas, cries, and even curses of these surrendered people, Du Yuxian, the head of the Du Household family, coldly shouted, "As the most loyal servants of my Du Household, you should feel honored to be integrated into the ' A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix ' ceremony and become resources for the further advancement of my Du Household!"

"You should be actively involved in the ceremony, not begging and cursing here! This only shows that your loyalty is questionable!"

Hearing Du Yuxian's shameless words, the patriarchs and cultivators of the surrendered Lineage, such as the "Hummingbird" Feng Household and the "Wood Owl" Lin Household, were all dumbfounded. Their desperate pleas for mercy turned into angry curses.

"Hehe..." At this moment, the leader of the "Fire Crow" Ya Household, the Purple Mansion female Ya Zhaoying, sneered and said in a deep voice, "Can't you fools see it yet? Among the 'hundred birds' carved on the ' Phoenix Terrace,' there is a statue corresponding to the power of your Lineage's bloodline. This shows that the Du Household never intended to let you go from the beginning."

"For example, there's even Fire Crow statue carved on this ' Phoenix Terrace,' clearly indicating that they had been plotting against our ' Fire Crow ' Ya Household for a long time."

"Moreover, the fact that the Du Household dared to use the ' A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix ' forbidden technique, which is explicitly prohibited by the ' Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty,' clearly means they have no intention of letting any living person outside the Du Household leave this ' Cuckoo Secret Realm.'"

"Otherwise, if you report the Du Household to the ' Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty ' for practicing the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Forbidden Technique,' wouldn't the Du Household be doomed?"

"So at this point, if you want to survive, you have to save yourself! You have to fight the Du Household to the death!"
