Return of the Ancient Gods

Under the arrangement of the mysterious old man, Chu Nan and Little Phoenix received training:

Keep fighting with the monsters here, make up for your shortcomings, and seek improvement.

Chu Nan was fighting a fifth-level spirit beast, the Purple Rainbow Crystal Scorpion, and he was multitasking, questioning Little Phoenix:

"Little Phoenix, you are such a cunning fellow. I treat you like a real brother, but you are always on guard against me?"

If Chu Nan had not learned about the existence of the Immortality Sutra from the mysterious old man, he didn't know how long he would have been kept in the dark.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He even wanted to pluck all the feathers of this annoying little phoenix. He attacked the Purple Rainbow Crystal Scorpion with extra force, punching it hard and making a rustling sound.

"Tell me what kind of technique your Immortal Sutra is?"

Under Chu Nan's tireless harassment, Little Phoenix had no choice but to confess:

"That's right. I have the Immortality Sutra, the supreme skill of our Phoenix Clan, but it cannot be passed on to others. I have already taught you the Phoenix Treasure Technique, are you still not satisfied?"

Looking at the determined Little Phoenix, Chu Nan rolled his eyes and said in a roundabout way:

"We'll talk about whether to pass it on later. First, tell me what kind of practice this Immortality Sutra is?"

"Don't be careless, our ancestors' teachings must not be violated!

Not only outsiders, but even ordinary Phoenix clan members are not qualified to practice. Only the Phoenix King and his successors can practice.

I remember the elders of the clan once said that two peerless geniuses in the clan fought for the Immortal Scripture and the position of Phoenix King. In the end, one of them failed and was killed, and the loser's lineage was driven out of the ancestral land. "The little phoenix became alert and warned him sternly, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help showing off:

"But I can introduce you to something. The Phoenix clan is good at fire, but in the field of fire, the Phoenix is ​​not the strongest..."

Chu Nan understood what Little Phoenix said. His grandfather's family was the descendants of the losers he mentioned. They were cultivated by the black bird and became human beings. He nodded.

"That's true. Although the Phoenix Fire is strong and is considered the best flame in the world, it is slightly inferior to the Sun True Fire of the Three-legged Golden Crow and the Suzaku Divine Fire of the Suzaku."

"In terms of pure magic, we are indeed inferior to the Three-legged Golden Crow and the Vermillion Bird, but in terms of combat power, we can beat them. We are also ranked higher among the ten fierce beasts, firmly in the top three, thanks to the Immortality Sutra." The little phoenix explained proudly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and flew into the air with a puff.

"The Underworld Sutra you practice is for the soul. When you practice it to perfection, the soul will be immortal. The Immortal Sutra is the same, but it is for the body.

Just as the Underworld Clan is the most suitable for practicing the Underworld Sutra, our Phoenix Clan is also the most suitable for practicing the Undying Sutra. We will combine our own characteristics with the Undying Sutra and create our own method..."

As it spoke, the little phoenix lowered its flying altitude, deliberately exposing a flaw so that the huge claws on the Purple Rainbow Crystal Scorpion's tail could pierce it.

The little phoenix was not dead. Runes appeared on its body and with a flash of light, the purple crystal scorpion was knocked away, completely lifeless. There was even a slight smell of barbecue wafting out.

The hole in the little phoenix's body was quickly filled up, and it was unharmed. Even its aura was stronger than before.

"This is the so-called Phoenix Nirvana, very similar to the Qilin magic and the healing ability of Xue'er and her clan, but the effect is even better. If we are not careful, the situation will be reversed." Chu Nan was astonished. He had suffered a lot in the battle with Chu Xiu and was deeply touched by this.

The mysterious old man watched from the side, nodded and said nothing.

"Look, little phoenix, you got the Immortal Scripture from somewhere else. Now that your Phoenix clan has been destroyed, you need the power to take revenge. Let's communicate and promote each other..."

"There is another reason why I won't teach you the Immortality Sutra. It's an ancient prophecy..."

"..."

After a lot of persuasion, Chu Nan successfully obtained the Immortality Sutra from the little phoenix, and they exchanged and learned from each other.

In the next two years, Chu Nan and Little Phoenix continued to practice on the river beach at the bottom of the Death Canyon, and at the same time, followed the guidance of the mysterious old man and tried to go deeper into the Death Canyon.

After a period of hard training, Chu Nan's realm not only rose to the peak of the Void God Realm, but he also made some progress in the Taichu Mingjing and the Immortal Sutra.

"As expected of the Immortality Sutra, it is indeed profound. The Taichu Ming Sutra is about the soul nourishing the body, while this Immortality Sutra is just the opposite, the practice of the body feeds back to the soul."

In the three years since he came to Death Canyon, Chu Nan had gained a lot. With the help of the environment and black fog here, he practiced the magic inheritance of the Heavenly Demon and found many Heaven and Earth Source Liquids.

He even opened up a river of Heaven and Earth Source Liquid in the Xiao Linglong World. Its scale was not as large as the one here, but the quantity was also large and could fully meet future needs. It also diluted a lot of Heaven and Earth Source Liquid into the Jingxin Lake.

The only drawback was that Chu Nan failed to ignite the divine fire and break through to a higher level.

"Is it really impossible to ignite the Divine Fire here and enter the Divine Fire Realm?" Chu Nan was confident that with his talent he would be able to achieve the Divine Fire Realm, but all his attempts failed, and he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

"It's already very rare to be able to survive and recover a little bit of combat power. If you think about anything else, you will become a complete monster.

Just like the forbidden land of the gods, this place is bound by powerful rules. "Looking at Chu Nan, I was somewhat impressed by his tenacity. No one could surpass him in this regard. Little Phoenix comforted me and said:

"If you go outside and light the divine fire, isn't that a piece of cake? Why do you have to be so obsessed with it?"

During the conversation, the two took a difficult step and were unable to move forward, thus putting an end to their three years of cultivation.

"Yes, it is indeed commendable to be able to do this." The mysterious old man also praised him. He has witnessed Chu Nan's growth in the past three years and is indeed satisfied. After saying this, he turned around and fled towards the deepest part of the Death Canyon, saying that he wanted to fulfill what he said when signing the contract.

"You are indeed an outstanding boy. I wonder what the world outside has become like. It's really exciting!" The mysterious old man walked slowly, hunched over, passing by one bluestone tombstone after another, and finally stopped in front of a headless corpse.

Going deeper into this place, even if Chu Nan signed the contract with the ancient gods, he would not be able to get involved before he reached the realm of God King.

After a long time, the mysterious old man returned to Chu Nan, displayed the headless corpse, and said bluntly:

“According to the previous agreement, this is what we pay you.

Go outside, this should be able to help you at a critical moment - since you have practiced the Underworld Sutra, you can drive this corpse."

When the headless corpse was laid out, the pressure it released made Chu Nan and the others break out in cold sweats, their pores dilated, as if they were facing a world-destroying beast, their hearts pounding like they were about to burst at any moment.

"Who is the owner of this headless corpse? Why is it so terrifying?"

Chu Nan was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have suspected that some powerful person was playing a joke on him.

This headless corpse was several times larger than Chu Nan's. His realm in life must have been far superior to his own. And from a rough look at his body, it was hard to tell how long ago he lived.

"His name is Xingtian. In order to deal with the Emperor of Heaven, he came here to seek our help. He signed the Ancient God Contract and mortgaged his body to us." The mysterious old man explained calmly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

"Xing Tian, ​​the ancient sage who killed the Emperor of Heaven in ancient times?!" Chu Nan and Little Phoenix shouted in unison, horrified.

"What the hell does this happen?"
