Chapter 782 - eight wishes
Half a day later.
Chen Chen arrived at the Flying Phoenix Immortal realm alone. The Flying Phoenix Immortal Realm’s environment was very special. There were birds everywhere, but there were very few immortals in human form.
After flying for a while, he arrived at the core area of the Flying Phoenix Immortal realm.
This place was called the Phoenix nest. It was built on a gigantic parasol tree that was over a hundred miles thick.
Beside the Phoenix Nest, a gigantic Phoenix was lazily leaning against a tree trunk.
As though it had sensed Chen Chen’s arrival, the Phoenix’s phoenix eyes glanced at Chen Chen. Its gaze was filled with an aloof coldness. “What a great emperor of ten thousand birds…”
Being stared at by the Phoenix, Chen Chen felt an indescribable pressure in his heart.
This wasn’t the pressure of a cultivation level, it was a type of tyrannical Emperor Qi.
But at this moment, the Phoenix seemed to have sensed the presence of a token on Chen Chen’s body. The coldness in her eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by a faint gentleness.
This instant of change was akin to the transformation from an incomparably tyrannical empress to a queen that ruled the world.
One had to say, this was the most graceful life form Chen Chen had ever seen. “I didn’t expect that you would really come to my flying Phoenix Immortal realms. Since you are here, come in.” A familiar voice rang out from the Phoenix nest beside the Phoenix.
Chen Chen turned his head to look at the Phoenix nest and bowed before flying towards
it.
Although the Phoenix Nest didn’t look big, it was actually a huge sealed secret realm. However, before Chen Chen could take a closer look, he was teleported into one of the palaces.
On a throne within the palace, a woman covered in flames sat there quietly. Her face couldn’t be seen clearly, let alone her expression.
“Speak, why did you, the disciple of an immortal emperor, come to my flying Phoenix Immortal Realms?”
The Flying Phoenix Immortal King calmly spoke, his tone filled with a strange sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen’s heart pounded.
Could it be that this flying Phoenix Immortal King realized that she had been deceived back then?
Actually, it wasn’t impossible. Immortal kings were all extremely intelligent. Back then, she didn’t realize that something was wrong. After such a long time, she should have realized it by now.
After all, the Flying Phoenix Immortal King and the other immortal kings were different from the Beichen Immortal King. They hadn’t been deceived by him before.
However, the Flying Phoenix Immortal King didn’t directly expose him. This meant that she was only guessing and wasn’t completely confident.
Since this was the case, it was best for everyone not to speak openly.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen quickly calmed his emotions. He smiled, “Back then, didn’t you say that you would welcome me to the Flying Phoenix Immortal realms anytime? Why, are you regretting it now?”
The Flying Phoenix Immortal King didn’t say anything. It was just that the flames in the surroundings were much stronger.
When Chen Chen saw this, he hurriedly spoke, “I’m just here to ask if you have any problems or if you have any wishes you wish to fulfill?”
The Flying Phoenix Immortal King fell silent when he heard this. After a moment, he replied, “Yes, I want your Heavenfire Essence.”
When Chen Chen heard this, he didn’t say anything else and directly tossed the heavenfire essence he displayed to the Flying Phoenix Immortal King from his storage ring. When the heavenfire essence flew into his hands, the Flying Phoenix Immortal King was momentarily at a loss. “This… you gave it to me?”
“That’s right, I’ll give it to you.”
Chen Chen had an indifferent expression on his face.
The Flying Phoenix Immortal King didn’t stand on ceremony and directly kept the essence of Skyfire away. After that, he calmly spoke:
“Speak, do you have a request for me?”
Chen Chen didn’t reply but continued, “Do you have anything else you wish to accomplish that you have yet to accomplish?”
As the sound of his voice faded, the temperature in the palace started to rise. Not long after, the surrounding space started to distort.
A moment later, the Flying Phoenix Immortal King suddenly chuckled. “Yes, of course there is. Do you see the parasol tree below the Phoenix Nest? This is the first parasol tree in the immortal world. It has been many years since it took root and sprouted.
Now, it has already reached the end of its life. In another tens of thousands of years, it will wither. If I want to save it, I have to find the celestial pond spirit liquid and use the celestial pond spirit liquid to water its roots!
“I have been searching for the Celestial Lake Spirit liquid, but I haven’t found any clues!
“Other than this, there is also that Divine Phoenix outside. That is my elder sister.
“More than two million years ago, when I fought with the Underworld’s experts, I suffered heavy injuries and completely lost the ability to transform.
“If I want to recover the ability to transform, I have to have a spiritual tribulation transformation pill. However, if I want to refine a spiritual tribulation transformation pill, I have to use the most advanced pill furnace that has given birth to spirituality!
Just like that, the Flying Phoenix Immortal King made eight wishes in a row. Each wish was sufficient to defeat the immortal king.
After saying this, the Flying Phoenix Immortal King let out a breath and coldly said, “That’s all for now. What do you plan to do?”
Chen Chen stood at his original spot, staring at the ball of flames in the distance. His heart was filled with an indescribable complexity.
This flying Phoenix Immortal King was truly too kind. Out of the eight wishes she made, not a single one of them was meant to kill anyone. In fact, out of the eight wishes, only one of them was meant to help her.
“Kind immortal king… I thought it would be easy to deal with her, but even if I said it would be difficult to deal with her…”
Chen Chen thought to himself.
Then, without another word, he turned around and flew out of the palace.
Inside the palace, Flying Phoenix Immortal King looked at Chen Chen’s back view as he left. subconsciously, she wanted to fly into a rage.
This person had spoken big words, and now he left without saying a word. He simply did not put her in his eyes!
But thinking about the heaven fire origin she had just obtained, she still restrained the anger in her heart and didn’t stop him.
“Immortal Emperor’s disciple? I think he’s a big liar! HMPH!”
On the other side, after Chen Chen left the Phoenix Nest, he didn’t stop at all and flew out of the Flying Phoenix Immortal realm.
The best way to deal with a kind immortal king like the Flying Phoenix Immortal King was to move her heart.
And as long as one treated her with sincerity, one would naturally be able to move her heart.
Kindness didn’t mean stupidity. Sometimes, a kind-hearted and intelligent person would be harder to deal with than an evil and intelligent person.
This was because the desires in their hearts were fewer and it wasn’t easy for them to lose their eyes.
Such a person could only be dealt with by playing the emotional card.
Hence, he didn’t directly state his purpose for coming here today. Instead, he asked the Flying Phoenix Immortal King to state her wishes.
A small wish wasn’t considered a wish. If he wanted to state more, he could state more.
Only by doing so, would he be able to create a shock in her heart. Only then would she be willing to help him.
After leaving the Flying Phoenix Immortal realm, Chen Chen arrived at the neighboring region of the Flying Phoenix Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Vault Immortal Realm.
The moment he arrived at this immortal realm, he started to use the system to track him.
“System, is there any celestial lake spirit liquid in this region?”
“No.”
“Then is there any celestial Phoenix relic in this region?”
“No.”
Upon hearing the system’s answer, Chen Chen wasn’t discouraged. He continued to fly and after an hour, he arrived at the next immortal realm through the Heaven Ladder.
“System, is there any celestial lake spirit liquid in this region?”
“No.”
