Chapter 877 Southern Ming Phoenix Flame Divine Mountain, Bo Tian's Great Achievement

The phoenix perches atop the canopy of the parasol tree.

Upon hearing the question from the woman in the phoenix coronet, Qin Ming revealed a strange expression.

He immediately retorted, "Your Excellency is already just a remnant soul, is that not allowed?"

But then he noticed a rare hint of reminiscence in the other person's expression.

Then, in a relieved tone, she said to Qin Ming, "I have been gone for tens of thousands of years, why would I still have something to be upset about?"

"However, I wish to speak privately with the spirit bird with the Ice Phoenix bloodline beside you."

"I was able to regain my senses thanks to your destruction of the Demon Ancestor. As for this life-giving feather, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give it to you."

Qin Ming frowned upon hearing that the other party wanted to speak with Fairy Lan Bing.

Who knows if the other person has any ulterior motives?

After all, the two are of the same Phoenix Clan bloodline, so they must be able to sense each other, as Fairy Blue Ice has already confirmed.

As he hesitated, he heard Fairy Lanbing transmit her thoughts: "Fellow Daoist Qin, it wouldn't hurt to talk in private. I can sense that this senior from the True Phoenix Clan has no ill intentions."

Qin Ming nodded and reluctantly allowed Fairy Lan Bing to come out and talk to the other party.

After he left to avoid suspicion.

On the treetop, the woman in the phoenix crown of the True Phoenix Clan gave Blue Ice Fairy a deep look and said, "You actually possess two ancient Feather Clan True Spirit bloodlines at the same time, one of which is the Ice Phoenix bloodline derived from my True Phoenix Clan."

"And the purity of my bloodline is so high, it is truly rare. I don't have much time left."

"But I'm curious, why would you follow a human cultivator?"

When suddenly asked this question, Fairy Lanbing pursed her lips slightly, and scenes from her past in the mortal realm immediately surfaced in her mind.

But she naturally wouldn't tell outsiders about something so secretive.

Seeing that Fairy Lanbing seemed to have something difficult to say, the phoenix woman didn't press further and continued:
"Since you don't want to say more, I won't ask any more questions. This child has considerable luck. Someone who can trigger a calamity of heavenly punishment is definitely not an ordinary person, even in the ancient and barbaric era."

"Perhaps this is your own destiny."

"I have summoned you here because I want you to continue the bloodline of my lineage."

When Fairy Blue Ice heard this, she was stunned. She hadn't expected that the other party had summoned her here for this reason.

……

And the other side.

Qin Ming then entered the Lesser Spirit Realm and took stock of his gains, which were beyond his expectations.

"The Holy Ancestor Longshu was truly a great man!"

"It created such a great opportunity for me."

"After cultivating immortality for over 1,620 years, I have finally entered the late stage of the Void Refinement realm."

"Even in the spirit world, this is enough to give us a foothold."

The Devouring Sky Rat and the Little Silver Fox all gathered around, offering their congratulations to Qin Ming:

"Congratulations, Master, on your breakthrough in cultivation! You have taken another step forward on the path to immortality!"

Qin Ming nodded, then noticed that the great contributor, Xuan Shui E, was not there. After a slight sense, he knew that he had gone into seclusion to break through his cultivation barrier.

The Devouring Rat then retrieved a storage ring from the One-Eyed Owl's corpse and handed it to Qin Ming.

"Master, look, this guy was killed by the second brother, there are quite a few good treasures inside."

Then, it also handed over the gray-robed old man's seventh-order demon core to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming waved his hand, collecting everything in front of him. He then patted the Devouring Sky Rat on the shoulder and praised it:

"You did a great job; this is another significant achievement."

"Hehe! When you return, Master, the White Ze Demon Emperor will surely bestow upon you the title of Grand Marshal of the Army and Cavalry of the World," the Devouring Rat said with a fawning smile.

Seeing that it was even more excited than he was, Qin Ming said to it, "Don't worry, if that's really the case, as my number one head-shaking warrior, when the demon race fights back to the Spirit Realm, I will definitely have you lead the way."

In a good mood, he deliberately teased the Sky-Eating Rats and the others for a while before casting a Thorn spell on the One-Eyed Owl's corpse.

All of a sudden.

Countless dark vines grew wildly from the void, sucking the massive corpse of the Black Owl Beast into a dried-up corpse, and yielding a Soul Pearl that was close to the Integration Stage.

The moment this Soul Bead appeared, even the natal spirit plant, the Yanfu Immortal Vine, exhibited extremely rare emotional fluctuations.

It's a pity that the physical body of that gray-robed elder in the Integration Stage was devoured by the Dragon Tree Saint Ancestor, otherwise his natal spiritual plant could have been greatly nourished.

However, it's not bad that he was able to obtain a seventh-tier demon core.

Besides, the Emperor Dust Saint Son, who was barely clinging to life, had four or five storage rings found on his body by the Devouring Sky Rat.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a mobile treasure trove of the demon race.

After all, as the holy son of the Night Owl Clan, this person must have no shortage of cultivation resources.

Qin Ming even found dozens of pieces of mid-grade immortal jade, which were unique to the spirit realm, making him incredibly wealthy.

This item will be of great use to his future cultivation.

Qin Ming took them all for himself.

Not long after.

The exchange between the woman in the phoenix crown outside and the Blue Ice Fairy had ended.

Qin Ming then rushed over and found that Fairy Lan Bing was not acting strangely. The two nodded and exchanged a brief conversation.

He learned from Fairy Blue Ice that the ancient phoenix seemed to have great faith in her potential and had awakened her lineage's heritage through her bloodline, which could be considered a great opportunity.

Subsequently.

The woman in the phoenix crown seemed to have accomplished something and had no more worries.

She immediately said to Qin Ming, "When I saw you before, you actually possessed three divine mountains and had already refined them into your natal spiritual treasures."

"In terms of power, it is even greater than the 'Southern Ming Phoenix Flame Divine Mountain' that I obtained by chance."

"However, your sacred mountain treasure seems to be only a half-finished product."

Qin Ming's heart stirred upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that the True Phoenix Demon Soul before him could see through the key to the True Spirit Five Extremes Mountain at a glance.

"Indeed, why do you say that, senior?"

But then the woman in the phoenix crown raised her hand and beckoned. The Flaming Divine Mountain, which was floating not far away, spun around and shrank to the size of a palm before landing in her hand.

Then, she handed it to Qin Ming and said, "Take this mountain as well, as a reward for eliminating the Holy Ancestor of the Demon Realm."

Qin Ming bowed in thanks and immediately activated the Spirit King Cauldron to absorb the 'Southern Bright Phoenix Flame Divine Mountain'.

"Alright, this is the end of our relationship. You should all take care of yourselves."

The words fell.

The soul of the woman in the phoenix crown gradually dissipated and disappeared into the flame-shaped natal feather.

Qin Ming also sighed and lamented. It seems that nothing lasts forever. Even a powerful member of the True Phoenix Clan eventually dies.

He took out an exquisite jade box and carefully put away the phoenix feather in front of him.

At this point, Qin Ming had gathered all the necessary materials to unlock the third layer of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, the Burial Immortal Sea.

Qin Ming went to great lengths to obtain these five feathers.

However, this was not the time for them to be happy.

The commotion here must have already reached the higher-ups of the demon race, so we must leave this area as soon as possible.

After Qin Ming completely eliminated his aura, he immediately had Fairy Blue Ice transform into an Ice Crystal Nether Sparrow, which then tore through the void and left the place.

He had just released his divine sense, comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, to investigate the surrounding space and discovered that his two teammates, Huo Linzi and Long Yuzi, had long since disappeared.

It is estimated that they have already returned to the territory of the Wanze Demon Kingdom by now.

However, you can't blame those two old guys for being disloyal.

The strength and methods displayed by the True Phoenix Clan woman at that time had exceeded everyone's expectations. Even if it were Qin Ming, he would most likely have done the same.

After all, those who have reached this level of cultivation are extremely protective of their lives.

At first, those two old guys drew most of the firepower from Qin Ming.

The withered phoenix tree also completely disintegrated and vanished in the wind after Qin Ming took the true phoenix feather.

Not long after Qin Ming left.

Several powerful demon figures suddenly appeared near the Phoenix Flame Mountains.

They stared at the chaotic scene, all of them displaying expressions of extreme anger.

This time, not only were a large number of the demon race's elite troops wiped out, but even the gray-robed elder in the Integration Stage perished.

Emperor Chen, the Holy Son, has also disappeared without a trace, a truly devastating loss.

Only beings at the seventh rank or higher can achieve this.

However, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out what had happened.

The battle at Phoenix Flame Mountain had a significant impact on the Holy Feather Demon Kingdom.

In a very short time, this news swept through the entire demon kingdom like a hurricane.

No secrets stay hidden forever, and news of the demon general of the Wanze Demon Kingdom infiltrating the Shengyu Demon Kingdom gradually began to circulate quietly.

The news spread as soon as it was released.

Upon hearing this, the demon king of the Night Owl Clan was immediately enraged and vowed to fight the demon generals of the Myriad Ze Demon Kingdom to the death, seeking blood for blood.

……

at the same time.

In the ancient demon realm, within a sacred mountain of myriad wonders, grow numerous ancient, jet-black trees that blot out the sky and are filled with extremely high-level primordial demonic energy.

On the gnarled roots of a demonic tree, a man with an aura that was difficult to fathom sat cross-legged.

Suddenly.

He suddenly opened his eyes, as if sensing something, and then his face turned extremely gloomy.

"What happened? How could a wisp of soul and will have been erased?"

"It's still in the ancient demon realm. Could it be that the old phoenix from back then has awakened?"

Upon realizing this, the Holy Ancestor Longshu couldn't help but recall some less-than-pleasant memories from the past.

That true phoenix was extremely powerful. During the ancient war, it destroyed several demonic ancestors and ultimately tried to perish together with him.

If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Ancestor Longshu hadn't kept a backup plan, it would probably have been his physical body that died.

Immediately, an eerie atmosphere began to permeate the sacred land of the demon realm.

……

Lei Ze Water Palace, inside White Ape Island.

After Qin Ming returned to his territory unharmed, the two demon generals, Huo Linzi and Long Yuzi, were astonished upon hearing the news.

They rushed over immediately upon hearing the news.

They couldn't believe that the White Ape Demon General could escape under such circumstances.

Later, the two of them naturally heard about the Phoenix Flame Mountain.

Upon hearing that even a powerful figure like the Night Owl Clan's Old Monster Feng had perished among them, he immediately sighed with regret.

I was wondering if the White Ape Demon General, who was dragged by the two of them to try his luck at the heavens, would suffer the same fate as them.

Just as they were making wild guesses, they received news that the White Ape Demon General had returned safely.

"Brother Ape, it's wonderful that you've returned safe and sound."

We were both really worried for you!

"The situation was critical at the time. I hope you won't blame us."

"I wonder what happened next?"

Although the two of them ran fast, they were still quite concerned about the whereabouts of the True Phoenix opportunity.

Furthermore, the two demon generals had a strange feeling that seeing the white ape demon general again gave them an indescribable feeling, as if his cultivation had improved even further.

This further confirms that something else happened at Phoenix Flame Mountain after they escaped.

Qin Ming deliberately kept a straight face, pretending that he was completely unwilling to pay attention to them, and snorted, "Hmph! You two fellow Daoists still have the nerve to ask."

"The moment you two left, I, Ape, immediately followed, only we escaped in different directions."

"As for why the Night Owl Clan's Old Monster Feng perished, it was because that Wutong Divine Tree was parasitized by an ancient demon. As for what happened afterward, I know nothing about it."

"What? An ancient demon!" The two, Long Yuzi and his companion, were also greatly surprised upon hearing this.

After all, the demon race had suffered at the hands of the ancient demons before, and they knew without a doubt that the only thing capable of causing the True Phoenix to perish could be a demon ancestor.
However, when they tried to press him further, Qin Ming remained completely silent.

Huo Linzi and Long Yuzi were turned away, but they were too embarrassed to ask any more questions.

"Regarding the matter of Phoenix Flame Mountain, I will personally report to Lord Bai Ze Demon Emperor, so there's no need for you two to worry about it," Qin Ming said with a stern face.

"The Demon Emperor will make the decision personally at that time."

Knowing that the Demon Court would personally inquire about such important information, Long Yuzi and his companion wisely took their leave.

A few days later.

Qin Ming was summoned by the Bai Ze Demon Emperor and personally made a trip to the capital.

Two incense sticks later.

The White Ze Demon Emperor looked down at him with a piercing gaze, listening to his report.

Knowing that the other party was powerful, Qin Ming gave him a brief account of the whole story, half-truthfully and half-falsely.

"You mean that an incarnation of the Ancient Demon Ancestor has appeared in the Holy Feather Demon Kingdom?"

After listening, Bai Ze Demon Emperor fell into deep thought.

If that's the case, it's not good news not only for their two great demon kingdoms, but also for the ancient demon realm.

With Qin Ming's final command, the Devouring Sky Rat bound Emperor Chen Saint Son tightly and threw him into the main hall.

He was just thinking about how to answer Bai Ze Demon Emperor's questions, and he thought it best to hand over the hot potato that was Emperor Chen Holy Son.

Firstly, it would allow them to achieve a tremendous feat.

Secondly, it allows them to cope with the current situation.

As for Emperor Chen's memories, they had already been altered and erased by Qin Ming using his Soul Dao Divine Power, so even the White Ze Demon Emperor couldn't see any clues.

"Go!" The Devouring Sky Rat shoved Emperor Chen Saint Son onto the main hall, where he fell to the ground like a dead dog.

Upon seeing this scene, the White Ze Demon Emperor's profound gaze fell upon him.

After a long pause, he burst into laughter, a rare occurrence for him.

"Truly the Holy Son of the Holy Feather Kingdom, hahaha!"

Having such a powerful weakness in their hands would have an undeniable impact on the two great demon kingdoms.

"Good! White Ape Demon General, you did a great job this time!"

"Next, the Demon Court will be sending high-level cultivators to support the demon race in the Spirit Realm. You've probably heard about this. There are three slots for seventh-rank demon generals this time."

"Your previous military achievements, combined with this intelligence gathering and the capture of the enemy nation's holy son, are enough to earn you a spot to go to the Spirit Realm."

"I wonder, would you be willing to continue serving the Demon Court and achieving great deeds?"
