Chapter 974 Fire Crystal Returns to Its Place
Yunxi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, deciding to keep the immortal infant for the time being. She then carved a small bottle from ten-thousand-year-old ice, placed the half-damaged immortal infant inside, sealed it with a divine seal talisman, and then put it into a storage bag before saying to Xuanlei Ziyan:
"Purple Smoke, after you refine the magma flames, you should integrate them into your main body. Be careful, the Immortal Infant may have left a hidden trick in the magma flames."

"Don't worry, Master, I will be very careful."

"Alright, I'll leave you in this space for now, and you can return to your dantian once you've completely refined the magma flames."

"Okay, master."

After agreeing, Ziyan began to gradually devour the blood-red magma flames.

Yunxi then flashed away from the space and appeared on the protruding rock in the magma. The white mist generated by the collision of ice and fire had dissipated by most of it.

Under the cover of the mist, Yunxi slipped away from the Forged Fire Crater. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, her ultimate goal had been achieved. Four of the five members of the Jin family were killed, and the immortal infant of one of them was sealed by her. Her mission was complete, and she would now spend the rest of her time exploring the Forged Fire Secret Realm.

She had previously shown her face to some cultivators, but she didn't want to attract too much attention, so this time she changed her face again, even her hairstyle. The dream stone between her eyebrows disappeared, revealing a fiery red sun totem.

Yunxi studied this sun totem during her seclusion and found nothing unusual. It was just a pretty decorative pattern. However, it appeared after she received the ice-type technique, so she felt it must have some significance. It's just that she is not strong enough to understand it now.

In the end, she hid the sun totem before heading towards the inner part of the secret realm.

Half a day later, she encountered a flock of phoenix-tailed firebirds. Both sides were somewhat surprised. Yunxi was surprised that her divine sense had not detected the flock of birds, while the phoenix-tailed firebirds were surprised to see a human cultivator trespassing into their territory alone for the first time.

A long cry rang out from the lead phoenix-tailed firebird, and in the next instant, a swarm of firebirds swept towards Yunxi.

Yunxi's lips twitched. She activated the "Thousand Shadows Wind-Supporting Divine Technique," her figure elusive as she dodged the charging firebirds. She casually mobilized the power of the wind element to create ten tornadoes, which swept up the firebirds. From a distance, they looked like red tornadoes, seemingly about to tear open the sky of the secret realm.

Yunxi also used the Frostbite Needle to kill a Phoenix Firebird. The moment the firebird was killed, it turned into a fiery red crystal that landed in Yunxi's palm. Yunxi sensed it and found that the crystal was filled with pure fire-type immortal energy.

"Isn't this a fire-type immortal crystal?"

Yunxi's eyes widened in surprise. No wonder her divine sense hadn't detected these celestial beasts; they weren't beasts at all, but celestial crystals.

Yunxi rubbed her hands together, determined to collect as many Phoenix-tailed Firebirds as possible.

Before she could even make a move, a ball of flame descended from the sky, engulfing her, and then she heard a muttering sound:

"I'll burn you to death! I'll burn you to death!"

The flames continued to heat up, but they only thinned Yunxi's protective aura slightly, without completely breaking through it.

Yunxi raised her hand, creating an ice shield around herself, before speaking:

"Are you the leader of the Firebirds? Do you know that your race is composed of fire-type immortal crystals?"

The flames burning her paused for a moment, then instantly intensified in temperature, seemingly eager to eliminate Yunxi as a problem. Yunxi erected another layer of ice shield around the mirror, then continued her attempt to communicate:
"Fire Crystal, do you want to leave the secret realm? I can take you and your people to see the outside world."

The other party ignored her and continued to increase the temperature of the flames.

Yunxi was speechless. The other party was refusing to communicate, so she let it go. She had already done her best. She then summoned the Frost Ice Needles and used ice-type immortal energy to drive the needles into a blizzard, accurately piercing each phoenix-tailed firebird. Amid the firebirds' screams, she waved her sleeve and put all the fire-type immortal crystals into her storage bracelet.

These kinds of celestial crystals with attributes are not common even in the Celestial Realm. She needs to accumulate some wealth for herself, and the Celestial Spirit had already subtly given her some advice.

As large numbers of phoenix-tailed firebirds fell, the flames around Yunxi weakened instantly. Once Yunxi's ten tornadoes dissipated, only a few phoenix-tailed firebirds remained, and they had all flown far away.

Yunxi didn't intend to kill them all. Feeling she had accumulated enough fire-elemental immortal crystals, she prepared to continue. Just then, the largest phoenix-tailed firebird rushed in front of Yunxi and roared angrily:

"You shameless human cultivator, you captured so many of my kin, and you're just going to walk away like that?"

Yunxi wasn't angry even after being scolded; she had already gotten what she was entitled to, and said with a smile:
"I was talking to you, but you ignored me and even tried to burn me alive. I only accepted some compensation; that's not excessive!"

The phoenix-tailed firebird stretched out its wings and ruffled the most fiery red tuft of feathers on its head, then angrily spun around twice before glaring at Yunxi and saying:
"You've taken all my people, so take me with you too. I want to enter your space."

Upon hearing the word "space," Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes narrowed. She hadn't revealed her spatial abilities to this bird; how did it know? Immediately, with a thought, the Seven Star Deadly Staff appeared in her hand. She slammed the staff heavily on the ground and coldly said:
"Don't say anything out of the ordinary, it's not good for either of us."

When the Phoenix-tailed Firebird saw the Seven-Star Deadly Staff in Yunxi's hand, it was stunned for a moment. The next instant, it turned and ran, but the Deadly Staff had already flown out first and stuck in the ground, blocking the Phoenix-tailed Firebird's path.

Then Yunxi saw that the Tianxuan Star among the seven stars on the Seven Star Deadly Staff kept flashing, generating a powerful suction force that pulled the Phoenix-tailed Firebird closer and closer to the staff.

Yunxi flashed to the side of the Seven Star Deadly Staff, looking at the frustrated Phoenix-tailed Firebird.

Ultimately, the opponent could not resist the force of attraction and transformed into a red crystal that embedded itself in the location of Tianxuan Star. After that, Tianxuan Star, like the other five stars, remained constantly lit.

A red light flashed across the Seven Star Deadly Staff, and the phoenix-tailed firebirds that had been hiding flew out. They stopped attacking Yun Xi and automatically turned into fire-type immortal crystals that landed in front of her.

Yunxi probably already had a guess. She waved her sleeve to collect the remaining fire-elemental immortal crystals, then grasped the Seven-Star Deadly Staff and stroked the six lit stars.

Back then, she only spent eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones to acquire the Seven-Star Deadly Staff. At that time, the Deadly Staff was a magic weapon that went unsold at auction, mainly because no one could light up the seven stars, so it was impossible to prove the power of the Seven-Star Deadly Staff. It was estimated that only she was able to successfully snag it.

She ascended all the way from the cultivation world to the spirit world and now to the immortal realm, and only managed to light up six stars. If others were to obtain the Seven-Star Deadly Staff, unless they ascended, they would never be able to light up seven stars in their entire lives, let alone witness the true power of the Seven-Star Deadly Staff.

"Old buddy, only I can accept your upgrade method. Anyone else would probably revert you back."

The Seven Star Deadly Staff trembled for a moment, then returned to her dantian in the next second.

Yunxi continued onward, but two quarters of an hour after she left, three immortals arrived at the Phoenix-tailed Firebird's territory. Looking at the obvious scene of a recent battle, they said in a deep voice:
"We're too late."
