Kong Wenxuan's Decision and Confidence
A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix! A forbidden technique!
Thinking back to what he had seen and heard in the "Cuckoo Secret Realm," Kong Wenxuan felt that the inheritance Jade Slip in his hand was burning hot, and he wanted to throw it away and destroy it.
Fortunately, he was Foundation Establishment cultivator. He circulated his Law Power and Spiritual Consciousness, and quickly calmed down.
He didn't know why the "Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty" designated "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix to the Phoenix" as a forbidden technique, prohibiting its learning and use. He had only heard about this forbidden technique from Ya Zhaoying.
After all, based on his initial examination of the contents of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix," it seemed to be a secret technique that gathered the power of hundreds of "bird bloodline" Lineage to help their own bloodline power break through and improve, thus better advancing the "True Spirit Rank" of the Lineage bloodline.
The main reason why the Du Household caused such bloodshed in the "Cuckoo Secret Realm" was because of the "Cuckoo" Du Household Bloodline Divine Ability of "The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest".
The Du Household combined their own Bloodline Divine Ability, "The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest," with the "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix" secret technique, which is why it was so bloody. They extracted the bloodline power of many Bloodline Lineage cultivators and integrated it into the forbidden "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix" technique.
Perhaps this approach would be more effective. At least Du Yuxian, the head of the Du Household family, successfully advanced to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage using this method, and the "Cuckoo True Spirit of the Cuckoo True Spirit Star Azalea" also successfully advanced using this method.
If it weren't for Ya Zhaoying's intervention, who killed Du Yuxian and the "Cuckoo True Spirit" together, Du Yuxian had successfully advanced, might have already pushed his "Cuckoo True Spirit Star" to the "Eighth-Grade True Spirit Heaven," Du Household would have successfully advanced to the "Eighth-Grade True Spirit" Lineage.
This demonstrates the immense power of the Du Household's Bloodline Divine Ability "The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest" combined with the forbidden technique "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix".
However, upon examining the information about the forbidden technique "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix" recorded in the Jade Slip, Kong Wenxuan discovered that it was not necessary to extract the bloodline power of hundreds of "bird bloodline" Lineage like the Du Household had done. As long as he could win the support of hundreds of "bird bloodline" Lineage, he could perform the forbidden technique "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix" and extract the fortune and bloodline power of these Bloodline Lineage to complete the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix" ritual.
With the help of the "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix" ritual, one's bloodline will be transformed and elevated, propelling it towards a higher level of True Spirit.
If that's the case, then performing the "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix" secret technique wouldn't require killing hundreds of cultivators from "avian bloodline" Lineage and seizing their bloodlines, as the Du Household did. So why is "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix" listed as a forbidden technique?
Kong Wenxuan held the inheritance Jade Slip, examining its contents with his Spiritual Consciousness, but his mind couldn't help but wander.
"Wenxuan!" Only when the clan chief called him did he snap out of his reverie. Looking at the other man, he saw that the clan chief's expression was uncertain, sometimes excited, sometimes worried. He said in a deep voice, "This ' A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix' inheritance was probably hidden in this secret realm by the Du Household family. Now that it has fallen into our hands, what should our Kong Household do?"
"I just read the contents. If we follow the ritual, we might actually be able to elevate our Kong Household to Lineage ' Eighth-Grade True Spirit ' level!"
"That's the ' Eighth-Grade True Spirit ' position! Even during the height of our Kong Household's power, we never achieved that; it's the dream of generations of our Kong Household!"
"Back in the Lineage's heyday, they nearly perished in their quest to reach the ' Eighth-Grade True Spirit ' level..."
"If this secret technique of ' A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix ' truly succeeds and helps our Kong Household ascend to the position of ' Eighth-Grade True Spirit,' we will all be heroes of the Lineage, able to stand tall even before our ancestors! Future generations will be even more grateful to us..."
Click!
At this moment, a cracking sound interrupted the clan leader's words. He saw five-colored light flash across Kong Wenxuan's hand, and he actually crushed the Jade Slip containing the secret technique of "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix".
"Wenxuan, what are you doing!" Clan Chief Kong Changgeng was shocked and rushed forward to try to snatch the broken Jade Slip and see if it could be repaired.
Kong Wenxuan shook his head, shattered the Jade Slip slip in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice, "Clan leader, you're possessed!"
The sudden rebuke startled the clan leader, bringing him to his senses.
He continued, "Clan leader, since the ' A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix ' technique is listed as a forbidden art by the A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Golden Crow Imperial Dynasty, there must be a reason for it. If our Kong Household rashly learns and uses this forbidden technique, we will probably only follow in the footsteps of the ' Cuckoo ' Du Household."
"Not only will they fail to reach the ' Eighth-Grade True Spirit ' Lineage level, but even the current ninth-rank ' Peacock True Spirit Star ' will perish. Furthermore, the Lineage will be wanted by the Imperial Dynasty, and at that point, they will truly be left with no way out!"
"Moreover, Clan Chief, have you ever considered why the Du Household would hide the ' A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix' inheritance in this Red Copper mine? And why it just so happened that our Kong Household obtained it?"
Could the "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix to the Phoenix" tradition also be hidden in other parts of the secret realm?
"The ' Fire Crow ' Ya Household has seized even more fragments of the secret realm. Could they have also obtained the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix ' inheritance? Perhaps, the Ya Household even suspects that our Kong Household has also received the inheritance?"
"I don't believe the Du Household would be so kind..."
"Moreover, if the Ya Household suspects that our Kong Household has also obtained the inheritance of ' A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix,' will they target our Kong Household like they did with the ' Cuckoo ' Du Household before, intervening at the crucial moment when our Kong Household uses the forbidden technique, and then reaping a drop of so-called 'Phoenix Blood'?"
In fact, Kong Wenxuan harbored an even darker suspicion in his heart, which he did not voice.
Then, he even suspected that the "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix" inheritance Jade Slip was not placed there by the "Cuckoo" Du Household, but by the "Fire Crow" Ya Household into this "secret realm fragment".
He even suspected that the forbidden technique "A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix Paying Homage to the Phoenix" that the "Cuckoo" Du Household had obtained might have been intentionally provided by the "Fire Crow" Ya Household.
After all, the actions and behavior of the "Fire Crow" Ya Household led by Ya Zhaoying in the "Cuckoo Secret Realm" inevitably raised some suspicions.
Clan Chief Kong Changgeng, having led the Lineage through many trials, quickly recovered from Kong Wenxuan's barrage of questions. His expression changed several times before he finally sighed and said:
"I was a bit too greedy. The Lineage has only just succeeded in achieving the Star Inlaying, and I was already aiming for the ' Eighth-Grade True Spirit ' position."
"Indeed, during the Lineage's heyday, it was because of the failure to break through to the ' Eighth-Grade True Spirit ' position that it fell and declined. This is a knot in my heart."
Kong Wenxuan confidently declared, "Clan leader, rest assured, even without the forbidden technique ' A Hundred Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix to the Phoenix,' I can still lead the Lineage to the ' Eighth-Grade True Spirit ' level!"
Hearing his confident words, Clan Chief Kong Changgeng smiled and said, "Wenxuan, I believe in you! After all, you are a genius who completed the Star Inlaying on your own and single-handedly brought the Lineage back to the ' Ninth-Grade True Spirit ' position. You are even more powerful than the ' Ancestor Jianling ' back then."
