Danzun War God

Chapter 204 Discovering the Seed

Han Qi was overjoyed. The supernatural power on the Wood Spirit Pearl could actually be passively activated, strengthening the primordial spirit, which was exactly what he wanted.

Just as Han Qi was feeling smug, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm. He quickly opened his eyes and saw that Yue Ling'er was pinching him. Han Qi jumped away, rubbing his arm and grimacing as he said, "Silly girl, why are you pinching me?"

"What do you want to do? Hurry up and think of a solution!" Yue Ling'er said, pouting.

Han Qi stopped joking, because with the acquisition of the Wood Spirit Pearl, his primordial spirit power had been strengthened, and perhaps this time he would really have a chance to break through the resistance of the Fire Phoenix.

With this thought in mind, he immediately released his primordial spirit power. Due to the enhancement of his primordial spirit power, Han Qi was indeed momentarily at odds with the power in the stone statue before successfully breaking through.

The instant Han Qi's primordial spirit broke through this barrier, the fire phoenix statue emitted a red light, and raging flames burst forth from the statue. In an instant, the fire phoenix, which was over ten feet tall, was enveloped in the raging flames, and a powerful aura spread outwards.

Han Qi and Yue Ling'er were also thrown back several steps by the current before they regained their footing. They stared in astonishment at the burning phoenix, wondering what would happen next.

Yue Ling'er, perhaps due to nervousness, unconsciously clung to Han Qi's arm, and as the flames on the fire phoenix statue intensified, her embrace grew tighter and tighter. However, Han Qi was also focused entirely on the statue; otherwise, he would have been unable to bear it any longer.

Time passed slowly, but the fire showed no signs of abating. Han Qi used his divine sense to probe the stone statue in the flames again. This time, he encountered no resistance. He could clearly sense that there was a round, fist-sized stone in the center of the flames, like a fire essence stone, and this stone was the source of the fire.

Han Qi sensed the changes in the stone at the source of the fire. This feeling was similar to the one he experienced when Tang Siyu's bloodline awakened and she was enveloped in a fire egg in the sacred ground of the Dragon Tiger Gathering.

"Rebirth?" Han Qi muttered to himself, but he wasn't quite sure.

Suddenly, Han Qi sensed cracks appearing on the stone. His immediate feeling was that the stone was about to explode, so he picked up Yue Ling'er and flew to a corner of the secret chamber.

Of course, Yue Ling'er had no idea the stone statue was about to explode. When Han Qi picked her up, she instinctively thought he was being indecent again. Just as she was about to resist, Han Qi lifted her up, followed by a deafening roar, flying rocks, and a surge of heat that nearly engulfed them. Fortunately, Han Qi had just managed to create a protective barrier of profound energy around them, preventing them from being affected by the heatwave.

However, the two of them fell to the ground. Yue Ling'er was actually pinned down by Han Qi. When Yue Ling'er came to her senses, she saw that the two of them were almost face to face, and that she was being pinned down by someone she thought was a pervert. She couldn't help but scream.

Han Qi immediately jumped up, rubbing his ears, and said sullenly, "You've deafened my ears!"

Watching the stone statue of the Fire Phoenix shatter into pieces, Yue Ling'er resented Han Qi for taking advantage of her, but she also comforted herself, saying: Han Qi was only trying to save me, he probably didn't mean it. If I were to fuss over this, it would seem petty of me. Besides, this guy isn't that annoying.

Han Qi asked with a smile, "Yue Ling'er, are you alright? What's wrong? Are you scared out of your wits?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling'er rolled her eyes at Han Qi and said, "Are you stupid? How could the Demon Ancestor's statue have exploded?"

Han Qi then turned his gaze to the spot where the fire phoenix statue had once stood, but it was completely empty, nothing at all. Han Qi's heart sank. He couldn't believe it. How could this be? Nothing was left behind. How could this help the demon realm survive the catastrophe? It was just wishful thinking.

Both of them were shocked by the scene before them and walked towards the location of the stone statue. The rubble on the ground was no longer the fiery red it had been, but had all turned into ordinary gray-black. Han Qi was also looking around. He felt that there must be something inside the fist-sized stone, but he didn't know where it had been blown away by the explosion.

When they arrived at the location of the Fire Phoenix statue, Han Qi immediately noticed a small red stone floating in the air. It was square, fiery red, crystal clear, and seemed to have flashes of spiritual light on it.

Han Qi reached out and took the stone, but Yue Ling'er, who had rushed over, snatched it away. Yue Ling'er examined the small stone curiously and said, "This belongs to our demon realm. You are not allowed to touch it!"

Han Qi smiled slightly and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Yue Ling'er raised her little face and said domineeringly, "One spirit stone. I'm warning you, don't even think about messing with it, or you'll regret it."

Han Qi pursed his lips, shook his head, and said, "Spirit stones? Are you kidding me! Didn't you sense the aura emanating from them?"

Yue Ling'er glanced at Han Qi suspiciously before re-examining the small stone. She then closed her eyes, carefully sensing it, and immediately smiled like a child.

She excitedly shouted, "I felt it! I felt it! Thank you, Han Qi!" She laughed and then tears streamed down her face as she threw herself into Han Qi's arms, crying tears of joy.

After a long while, Yue Ling'er calmed down, but still said excitedly, "I sensed a strong life force and rich spiritual energy. This is the seed of the Tree of Life. With this seed, the Tree of Life can be restored. After so many years, we can finally get what we want."

Han Qi was also very happy, letting Yue Ling'er smear her tears and snot on his chest.

Suddenly, Yue Ling'er stood on tiptoe and kissed Han Qi hard on the cheek, saying, "This is a reward for you. Without you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to get this seed."

Han Qi chuckled, lowered his head and planted a kiss on Yue Ling'er's cheek, saying, "We're all family, no need to be so polite."

Yue Ling'er jumped back as if she had been electrocuted, her face flushed red, and said coquettishly, "You pervert, you're taking advantage of me again!"

Han Qi quickly waved his hand and said, "It would be impolite not to reciprocate. Besides, this is too valuable, so I have no choice but to return it!"

Having lived for so many years, she had never blushed so much in the past few days. Yue Ling'er rubbed her burning cheeks and said, "Hmph! I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you. But how do we get this seed to grow into a Tree of Life?"

Han Qi shrugged and said, "I really don't know, but there's someone who definitely does."
