Phoenix Blood, Falling Star, Seizing the Secret Realm's Resources

"Chief!"

"Grandfather!"

"Second Uncle!"

Upon witnessing Du Yuxian and the "False Phoenix" transformed from the "Cuckoo True Spirit" being torn apart and killed on the spot by Ya Zhaoying, the remaining Du Household cultivators in the entire "Cuckoo Secret Realm" felt as if half the sky had collapsed, bursting out cries of grief and terror.

"Escape!"

In this final moment of death, Du Yuxian seemed to regain some of his senses, but he only had time to give his final order, commanding his Lineage members to flee for their lives.

Then, the "False Phoenix" skeleton, torn in two, burst into flames, and a drop of blood, shimmering with iridescent light and imbued with phoenix energy, was gradually refined within the flames.

Ya Zhaoying had already returned to human form from her "Fire Crow" state. Upon seeing this, she immediately showed joy and quickly took out an array plate and several array flags, setting them up around the burning "False Phoenix" corpse and the "phoenix blood" that had been refined.

Chirp!

At this moment, a mournful and desperate cry of Cuckoo rang out from the "Cuckoo True Spirit Star" that appeared in the sky above the "Cuckoo Secret Realm," and a phantom figure of the "Cuckoo True Spirit" shattered and dissipated.

The next moment, everyone saw cracks appear on the high and mighty "Cuckoo True Spirit Star", and the entire "star" began to crumble.

Boom! Boom! Rumble...

The shattered "Cuckoo True Spirit Star" began to fall from the sky with a deafening roar.

Click! Click! Click...

At the same time, cracking sounds came from all around. Kong Wenxuan looked around and saw that the "Cuckoo Secret Realm" was also beginning to crack. Huge cracks spread rapidly across the earth, mountains and sky. The entire "Cuckoo Secret Realm" was about to be torn apart and completely shattered.

This "Cuckoo Secret Realm" was able to be successfully opened and stabilized only by relying on the power of the "Cuckoo True Spirit Star".

Now that the "Cuckoo True Spirit Star" has fallen, the "Cuckoo Secret Realm" has lost its foundation for existence and has begun to crack and collapse.

Within the secret realm, many spiritual fields, Spirit Plant, spiritual mines, and spiritual resource sites were torn apart and destroyed as the cracks spread and the secret realm collapsed. Some Lineage cultivators who had just survived the deadly predicament of having their bloodlines stolen by the "fierce bird Cuckoo" were swallowed up by these spreading cracks and died on the spot.

"Walk!"

"Children of the Cuckoo, remember today's defeat and hatred!"

"The secret realm is about to be destroyed, escaping is the priority!"

Although the remaining cultivators and disciples of the "Cuckoo" Du Household were filled with hatred and grief, most of them were clearly clear-headed and rational. Instead of fighting the Kong Household and Ya Household to the death, they took this opportunity to escape the collapsed "Cuckoo Secret Realm" and lead their Du Lineage members to safety.

At this moment, the crashed "Cuckoo True Spirit Star" and the collapsed "Cuckoo Secret Realm" actually provided them with excellent cover.

Even the two members of the Kong Household and several members of the Ya Household, who wanted to hunt down and eliminate the Du Household cultivators, were blocked by the collapsed "Cuckoo Secret Realm" and were unable to kill all the fleeing Du Household cultivators and disciples.

Moreover, these Du Household cultivators all have beast-taming birds under their command, and they are currently using these beast-taming birds to their deaths and to resist the pursuit of Kong Wenxuan and the others, making them even more difficult to hunt down.

After a difficult pursuit and the killing of two Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than a dozen Qi Refinement cultivators from the Du Household, Kong Wenxuan and clan leader Kong Changgeng looked at the Ya Household members and found that they had not pursued the fleeing Du Household cultivators at all.

Instead, it attracted the projection of the "Fire Crow True Spirit Star" and suppressed it, protecting some areas in the "Cuckoo Secret Realm" that had not yet been torn apart or collapsed. It protected the spirit fields, Spirit Plant forests, spirit mines, and spirit resource points so that they would not be destroyed along with the "Cuckoo Secret Realm".

"How stupid!" Kong Wenxuan couldn't help but curse himself inwardly. At this moment, chasing down the Du Household cultivators was not as important as rescuing the resources in this "Cuckoo Secret Realm"!

In particular, now that he has successfully Star Inlaying and imprinted the inheritance of the Five Elements True Scripture into the "Peacock True Spirit Star", it is likely that all the cultivators of the Kong Household who awaken their bloodline will cultivate the Five Elements True Scripture. At that time, whether they choose to refine the "Five Elements Divine Swords" or the "Five Elements Talisman Slips", they will need a large amount of Five Elements spiritual materials and Five Elements resources.

While the Kong Household is not exactly destitute, they are certainly not wealthy either, and could not possibly support the cultivation of the Five Elements True Scripture among their many Lineage.

Therefore, at this time, the numerous resources and spiritual objects in the "Cuckoo Secret Realm" are undoubtedly very important treasures. If they could acquire some, it would definitely allow the strength of the Kong Household's cultivators to achieve a leap forward.

This is undoubtedly very important for the Kong Household Lineage, which has just been promoted to the "Ninth-Grade True Spirit" Star Inlaying and doesn't even have its own county town.

At that moment, Kong Wenxuan stopped wasting his energy chasing after the remaining Du Household cultivators and instead formed hand seals to summon the projection of the "Peacock True Spirit Star".

Lili!

The clear cries of Peacock rang out. Because of the fall of the "Cuckoo True Spirit Star" and the shattering of the "Cuckoo Secret Realm," Kong Wenxuan easily summoned the projection of the "Peacock True Spirit Star" and made it appear in the broken sky of the secret realm.

The "Peacock True Spirit" manifested above the "star projection," spreading its wings, displaying its tail feathers, and raising its head to sing a clear song.

Kong Wenxuan's gaze quickly swept across the remaining resource points and areas in the "Cuckoo Secret Realm" that had not yet been destroyed, searching for the best and most suitable places to suppress and seize them.

Their Kong Household's "Peacock True Spirit Star" is, after all, only a newly Star Inlaying "Ninth-Grade True Spirit" star, which cannot be compared with the "Fire Crow True Spirit Star" of the Ya Household next door, which is an "Eighth-Grade True Spirit".

The projections of the "Fire Crow True Spirit Star" summoned by the Ya Household members had already suppressed and captured multiple territories in the collapsed "Cuckoo Secret Realm," and even had the capacity to continue seizing more territory.

However, Kong Wenxuan could easily sense that the "Peacock True Spirit Star" projection he summoned could at most suppress, capture, and defend a small piece of territory in this collapsing "Cuckoo Secret Realm".

Therefore, he must make the best and most suitable choice.

"Wenxuan, there!"

At this time, the clan leader Kong Changgeng also gave up the pursuit of the Du Household cultivators. He naturally saw through Kong Wenxuan's purpose, so he also joined the search and exploration of resource points in the secret realm, and quickly selected a target.

Kong Wenxuan looked in the direction the clan leader was pointing. It was a mountain range in the secret realm. A small section of the mountain range had been destroyed by the cracks that caused the secret realm to collapse, revealing a mineral vein that he was quite familiar with: the Dark Iron mineral vein!

In an instant, he realized that the "Dark Iron vein" that the Du Household had migrated from the "Gray Wolf" Lang Lineage's territory, "Wolf Fang Mountain," had been integrated into that mountain range.

However, that mountain range was much larger and wider than the "Dark Iron Vein," and it was clear that it contained not only the "Dark Iron Vein" but also other mineral veins.

Moreover, there are several forests of Spirit Plant on that mountain range, and several spiritual springs flow down from the mountaintop like streams, irrigating the Spirit Plant and forests all over the mountain.

These phenomena are enough to indicate that there are at least three types of spiritual materials in this mountain range: metal, wood, and water, and there may even be earth-elemental spiritual materials.

This was an extremely suitable choice for the Kong Household, who needed the five elements' spiritual materials.

Furthermore, the "Cuckoo Secret Realm" is now collapsing at an accelerated pace, and the cracks that are tearing the realm apart are continuing to spread, destroying more resource points.

Even the mountain range chosen by the clan chief is on the verge of being destroyed along the direction of a crack.

The "Fire Crow" Ya Household members are also constantly seizing resource points and territories.

There was no more time for them to continue their slow inspection and search, so Kong Wenxuan no longer hesitated and directly activated the projection of the "Peacock True Spirit Star" to fly over and suppress the mountain range, locking onto and capturing it.
