"So, are you begging me?"
Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
"Yes."
Mountain Lord Huang took a deep breath and nodded.
As a Mythological Beast, she would actually beg a human? If it was in the past, she would never have imagined such a thing.
But now, she begged him, and she begged him willingly.
This was because she knew very well that after this battle, Mount Wutong was extremely weak. It didn't even have a tenth of its original strength.
Even she was heavily injured. At the very least, she wouldn't be able to use her full strength for the next thousand years. This was a fatal blow to Mount Wutong, and would definitely attract the other great powers that coveted Mount Wutong.
Since ancient times, Divine Beasts had a great attraction to cultivators. Beast blood was used to refine pills and talismans. Beast bones, skin, and feathers were used to refine weapons. If one could capture a Divine Beast as a mount, it would be a matter of great honor.
Therefore, Mount Wutong urgently needed an expert who could intimidate everyone to keep watch, to deter those who had ill intentions towards the Divine Beasts.
That was the reason why she wanted Chu Hong to return to Wutong Mountain. Aside from her talent and potential, it was also because she had Chu Kuangren backing her up. With him around, who would dare to covet Wutong Mountain?
"I can't make the decision to let Lil Hong return to Mount Wutong. What do you think, Lil Hong?" Chu Kuangren looked at Chu Hong and said.
He left the decision to her to decide for herself.
"I want to be with big brother."
Chu Hong did not hesitate at all.
"Yes, you heard it."
"Chu Hong, Mount Wutong has a secret manual that has been passed down since the Immortal Ancient Era. It's suitable for pure-blooded Divine Phoenixes to cultivate. Apart from you, no one in the Qing Lan Immortal World is more suitable for this secret manual."
Chu Hong was tempted.
She was indeed lacking a cultivation technique for the Divine Phoenix. When she was at the Divine Phoenix Mountain, she had been busy awakening her bloodline and had forgotten about this.
"Also, after you come back, we won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. You can also move freely."
Seeing that Chu Hong was moved, Lord Huang Shan continued.
Freedom of movement?
What was the difference between this and not going back?
Chu Hong blinked.
Beside her, a strange look flashed across Chu Kuangren's eyes. He had already guessed what the Phoenix Mountain Chieftain's plan was.
He wanted to use his name to protect Mount Wutong?
Interesting.
"This …"
Chu Hong couldn't make up her mind.
Upon seeing that, Chu Kuangren simply said, "Let's head to Wutong Mountain first."
Hearing this, Mountain Lord Huang's eyes lit up.
What he meant was … there was a chance!
"Alright."
Under the support of Huang Yinghong and Qing Feng, Huang Shan Lord prepared to return to Mount Wutong. Those who had surrendered earlier also ran back.
Mountain Lord Huang didn't reject these people. After all, Wutong Mountain's vitality was greatly damaged and needed people to rebuild it.
Of course, she secretly remembered these people in her heart. In the future, she would definitely not entrust them with important tasks.
…
Mount Wutong.
Mountain Lord Huang and the rest returned here. Looking at the familiar Wutong Mountain, everyone felt as though a lifetime had passed.
They had lost too much in the Battle of the Dragon Phoenix.
They even thought that they wouldn't be able to return.
"It's good to be back."
Someone couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone reorganized themselves.
Then, Mountain Lord Huang brought Chu Hong and Chu Kuangren to a cave. This cave contained a large amount of fire energy. If an ordinary cultivator were to get close, they might even be burned to ashes.
Only a fire-type divine beast like the Phoenix could remain unscathed. Since Chu Kuangren had the Red Lotus Phoenix Fire, this bit of fire energy was naturally no problem for him. It was no different from a warm breeze.
They walked into the cave, and it was surging with hot lava.
"This is the place where the Wutong Mountain's spiritual veins meet. Only the previous Mountain Chieftains can enter this place to cultivate."
As Mountain Lord Huang spoke, she brought Chu Kuangren and Chu Hong to the deepest part of the cave. There, there was a red stone tablet.
The stone tablet was engraved with countless mysterious scriptures.
"Oh, this is the secret manual you were talking about?"
"That's right."
Chu Kuangren looked at the inscription on the tablet and activated the All-Knowing Spirit, Xiao Ai. Under his analysis, the stone tablet and the inscription's origin appeared one by one.
"Nine Nirvana Transformation Scripture!"
Chu Kuangren read out the secret manual's name.
Chu Hong could not help but walk up and place her hand on the stone tablet. The stone tablet shook and began to resonate with Chu Hong's blood. Countless mysterious scriptures surged into her mind.
Chu Hong immediately sat cross-legged and accepted the secret manual's inheritance.
After a while, she woke up.
"What a mysterious Immortal Scripture. This Immortal Scripture is indeed very suitable for me to cultivate. Unfortunately, this is an incomplete version."
Chu Hong shook her head and sighed.
That's right, this Nine Nirvana Transformation Scripture was not a complete version. It was incomplete and only had the first five transformations.
As for the last four transformations, there were no records.
"This is at least an Immortal Scripture created by a Dao-Unification Immortal," Chu Kuangren said emotionally.
His comprehension was so strong that he had already memorized the entire Nine Nirvana Transformation Scripture in his mind. He even had a rough understanding of it.
Its level of mystery was no less than the Tushan Scripture and the Jade Lake Immortal Scripture.
"Wutong Mountain's previous Mountain Chieftains have all studied this Nine Nirvana Transformation Scripture. Unfortunately, no matter how thoroughly they understood it, they could not cultivate this Immortal Scripture. This is specially prepared for pure-blooded Godly Phoenixes."
Mountain Chieftain Huang looked at Chu Hong and said.
This Immortal Scripture had a total of nine transformations. The first transformation could only be cultivated by pure-blooded Godly Phoenixes, and the second transformation could only be cultivated by twice-awakened Godly Phoenixes …
Similarly, the ninth transformation could only be cultivated by Godly Phoenixes who had experienced nine bloodline awakenings. The conditions were too harsh.
For so many years, Wutong Mountain had not even produced a single pure-blooded Godly Phoenix, let alone a Godly Phoenix with nine bloodline awakenings. Even in the complete Immortal Realm, there were only a handful of divine beasts with seven bloodline awakenings.
"You've all seen this Nine Nirvana Transformation Scripture. What do you think of my request, Mr. Chu?"
Mountain Chieftain Huang looked at Chu Kuangren and said.
"Aren't you afraid that we won't agree if you give us the Nine Nirvana Transformation Scripture first?" Chu Kuangren said.
"Whether Mr. Chu agrees or not, I plan to give this Nine Nirvana Transformation Scripture to Chu Hong because she's the only pure-blooded Godly Phoenix that Wutong Mountain has produced in so many years," Mountain Chieftain Huang said.
"Heh, you're quite sincere."
Chu Kuangren chuckled. Then, he looked at Chu Hong. "Lil Red, are you willing to be this Phoenix Lady and inherit Wutong Mountain?"
"I'll listen to you, but I want to stay by your side."
"Alright."
Chu Kuangren nodded and then looked at Mountain Chieftain Huang. "Lil Red can continue to be Wutong Mountain's Phoenix Lady, but she'll stay by my side and won't be under Wutong Mountain's control."
"Of course, you can also use my name to protect Wutong Mountain."
When Chu Kuangren said the last sentence, Mountain Chieftain Huang heaved a sigh of relief. That was what she wanted the most.
Then, she came to her senses. It turned out that Chu Kuangren had seen through all her plans.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu," Mountain Chieftain Huang said solemnly.
"You don't have to thank me. Strictly speaking, this is just a deal. I'll help Lil Red obtain the Nine Nirvana Transformation Scripture, and all of you will live under my protection," Chu Kuangren said.
"I sincerely hope that Chu Hong can return."
Mountain Chieftain Huang said sincerely.
Chu Kuangren glanced at her and said, "We'll see."
Mountain Chieftain Huang nodded. She knew that Chu Kuangren had some complaints about Wutong Mountain due to the previous marriage. That grudge could not be erased in a short period of time.
