The sword light flew and landed on a mountain. With a puff, Chen Zong spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood contained a blazing aura. When it landed on a rock, it turned the rock into liquid like magma and burned a hole in the ground, emitting a blazing aura.
After spitting out the blood, Chen Zong felt much better because the blood contained the terrifying power of the Vermilion Bird Holy Son's attack.
While recovering from his injuries, Chen Zong pondered.
"In terms of conventional strength, I'm still inferior to the Vermilion Bird Holy Son." Chen Zong thought to himself. After all, it was the difference between realms and cultivation. When one's Inner World was completed, it was equivalent to the level of a Quasi-saint or Demigod. It was inferior to a Saint, but its strength was far superior to a Quasi-saint.
In terms of cultivation, Chen Zong was inferior to the Vermilion Bird Holy Son. In addition, Chen Zong had been cultivating for hundreds of years, while the Vermilion Bird Holy Son had been cultivating for thousands of years. It had also been hundreds of years since he had broken through to the Saint Level. With his amazing bloodline and talent, coupled with the inheritance and cultivation of the Vermilion Bird Holy Son, he had already cultivated to the peak of the Pristine Saint Realm. His conventional strength was not invincible in the Pristine Saint Realm, but he was definitely among the top.
"In addition to the gap between our realms, I still lack an explosive method." Chen Zong pondered.
It was a good thing to have a Inner World that belonged to one's own cultivation path without any interference from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. However, there were also drawbacks. That was, he could only rely on himself. Those secret methods and the like were not suitable for him, and he did not have the so-called power of bloodline.
Both secret techniques and bloodlines could be used and stimulated to temporarily increase one's strength. Of course, secret techniques could not be compared to bloodlines. Aside from being able to stimulate and increase one's strength, bloodlines could also be used to help one's cultivation and comprehension. Furthermore, when cultivating legacies of the same origin as bloodlines, it could be used more efficiently and display more power.
The True Sword Grinding Technique could not be used. Otherwise, he would not have to retreat.
"Maybe I should develop a secret method," Chen Zong said to himself.
However, it was not easy to develop a secret technique, especially when his own cultivation path was still in a state of exploration. It was even more difficult to develop it on his own. Chen Zong did not have much confidence, but he still had to give it a try. Otherwise, sometimes he really did not have enough explosive means.
The world in Chen Zong's body allowed him to form his own Dao. His strength and Sword Dao were also self-contained. His defense was stronger, his survival ability was stronger, and his recovery speed and self-healing ability were not weak either.
Soon, Chen Zong recovered from his injuries.
As he recalled his battle with the Vermilion Bird Holy Son, Chen Zong once again set off for the Vermilion Bird Holy Grounds. This time, he was here to find the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden. No matter what, he couldn't miss this opportunity. Otherwise, if she returned to the Ancient Phoenix Mountain, it would be even more difficult to find her.
As for the Vermilion Bird Holy Son, Chen Zong was not afraid. He could not defeat him now, but he could escape. If he wanted to escape, it would not be so easy for a Great Saint to stop him.
The battle with the Vermilion Bird Holy Son just now was very fierce, but in fact, it was also very short. The outcome was decided in just a few dozen breaths.
The Vermilion Bird Holy Son's flames were very powerful, but his saber techniques were still the strongest.
This time, Chen Zong did not get too close to the Vermilion Bird Holy Son.
Chen Zong continued to wait and comprehend. Time passed day after day. Suddenly, Chen Zong's eyes shot out a ray of light, and there was a faint expression of excitement on his face.
She had appeared!
The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden had finally appeared.
At the Vermilion Bird Holy Grounds, two dazzling flame birds and phoenixes with wingspans of more than ten meters flew out slowly. On the back of one of them was the Vermilion Bird Holy Son, and on the other was the person he wanted to see.
"Blue Phoenix, I will send you back to the Ancient Phoenix Mountain," the Vermilion Bird Holy Son said to the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden.
"Thank you for your kindness, Holy Son," the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden replied, but politely declined.
The Vermilion Bird Holy Son did not say anything else. He wanted to leave a good impression.
"Thank you for the Vermilion Bird Holy Grounds' hospitality. Goodbye, Blue Phoenix." The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden bowed slightly and left on the back of the dazzling flame birds and phoenixes. Beside her sat two maids who had been serving her all this time.
Watching the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden leave, the Vermilion Bird Holy Son's eyes were full of passion. That kind of passion seemed to want to melt the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden.
The Ancient Phoenix Bloodline and the Vermilion Bird Bloodline could complement each other. When the two were combined, it could strengthen one's bloodline further.
…
"Divine Maiden, the Holy Son is really elegant," the maid on the right of the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden said with a smile. "He should be an excellent cultivation partner."
However, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden did not reply.
Although the Vermilion Bird Holy Son, no, it should be said that the Ancient Phoenix Mountain and the Vermilion Bird Holy Grounds did not say it out loud, it was very obvious. That was, they wanted to let the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden and the Vermilion Bird Holy Son get to know each other first, and then promote them to become cultivation partners.
The Vermilion Bird Holy Son was very willing, but the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden had a kind of inexplicable resistance that came from the bottom of her heart.
As for why, she could not explain it clearly.
Sitting on the back of the dazzling flame birds and phoenixes, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden and her two maids quickly left the Vermilion Bird Holy Grounds. When they were far away from the Vermilion Bird Holy Grounds, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a sharp light shot out from them. At the same time, she pulled out a longsword that was placed at the side.
The sound of the sword was clear and melodious, as if it was the cry of a phoenix. It reverberated through the void and pierced through the clouds. Accompanied by the sound of the sword, a crimson sword light directly slashed through the air. There were many patterns on the sword light, and they looked like feathers. Such a sword was really strange and beautiful.
The sword light hit nothing, and a figure also appeared.
After dodging the sword light, Chen Zong immediately said, "Divine Maiden, please wait." There was a hint of excitement in his voice.
"It's you." The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden recognized Chen Zong at a glance.
"What are you trying to do by following the Divine Maiden?" The maid on the right frowned and said coldly. However, Chen Zong did not pay attention to her. Instead, he stared at the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden, and there was a hint of heat and sharpness in the depths of his eyes. It was as if he wanted to see through the veil covering the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's face and see her face clearly.
Unfortunately, that veil seemed to be some kind of treasure that could block Chen Zong's vision and divine sense, so Chen Zong could not see through it.
However, that pair of eyes was not covered, and Chen Zong felt that it was very familiar no matter how he looked at it.
In the past, Chen Zong did not feel much when he did not connect the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden and Yu Nianxin, and he also did not think too much about it. However, now, he had a feeling that it was very similar.
It really looked very similar.
Although there were some differences compared to Yu Nianxin's original eyes, such as the color of the pupils, it still felt very similar.
"Divine Maiden, can you take off your veil?" Although he was a little excited, Chen Zong did not lose his composure. After taking a deep breath, he said in a serious tone, and there was a faint tremor in his voice.
"How dare you!" The maid on the right saw that Chen Zong did not pay attention to her, and she was already angry in her heart. At this time, when she heard Chen Zong's words, she seemed to be furious. She pointed at Chen Zong, and her voice was extremely cold.
Chen Zong's eyes were very sincere, and there was an indescribable expectation, hope, and desire in his sincerity. It was a desire that came from the bottom of his heart, and there was no false desire at all.
The sincerity and desire in his eyes were like an invisible arrow that shot directly into the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's heart. She could not help but tremble, and the words of rejection that she originally wanted to say could not come out of her mouth.
"I am not Yu Nianxin," the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden seemed to know Chen Zong's purpose, and she opened her mouth to explain, "My name is Gu Qinghuang."
"Do you know about Taixuan?" Chen Zong asked. The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden nodded slightly, "Since you know about Taixuan, you should know about the Taixuan Heavenly Mirror."
"I have used the Taixuan Heavenly Mirror twice to find Yu Nianxin, and the final results pointed to the Ancient Phoenix Mountain Forbidden Area. At that time, I went to the Ancient Phoenix Mountain with Senior Void Grand Sage. Although we did not enter the Ancient Phoenix Mountain in the end, we found out from Senior Golden Phoenix Grand Sage that the person in the Ancient Phoenix Mountain Forbidden Area was the Divine Maiden."
The meaning in Chen Zong's words was very clear.
On the other hand, the Golden Phoenix Grand Sage did not tell the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden about these things, so she was completely unaware.
Chen Zong's words were reasonable. Whether the True Void Grand Sage and the Golden Phoenix Grand Sage were true or false, they could easily find out. Chen Zong would not lie about such things.
If he did not lie, then the Taixuan Heavenly Mirror must have made a mistake.
If it made a mistake once, then it could be confirmed. However, if the result was the same twice, then the probability of a mistake was too low.
"Impossible, the Divine Maiden's name is Gu Qinghuang, not Yu Nianxin." The maidservant on the right spoke again. She seemed to have a lot of opinions about Chen Zong, but unfortunately, Chen Zong did not seem to hear her words, nor did he seem to sense her hostility. He completely ignored her.
An indescribable feeling rushed into the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's heart. Then, she took off her mask.
The moment she took off her scarf, she immediately discovered that the other person's eyes were filled with unparalleled excitement and joy. That was the kind of ecstasy and excitement that one would feel after searching for her a thousand times in their dreams and finally seeing her.
"Nianxin, it's really you." Chen Zong was indeed very excited, extremely excited.
Whether it was the results of the Taixuan Heavenly Mirror or other information, it was not enough to confirm that the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden was Yu Nianxin. Only now, until Chen Zong saw the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's face with his own eyes, did he confirm it.
The two results of the Taixuan Heavenly Mirror, coupled with the extremely familiar face that he saw now, could finally confirm it with one hundred percent certainty.
Yu Nianxin!
The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden was Yu Nianxin. She was ambushed and killed by the Infernal Order in outer space, and Yu Nianxin's whereabouts were unknown. He finally found and saw her here.
But now, a new problem had appeared, and that was that Yu Nianxin did not know that her name was Yu Nianxin. Instead, she was called Gu Qinghuang.
Gu Qinghuang and Yu Nianxin were two different names, and they also represented different identities. In other words, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden was unable to admit that she was Yu Nianxin now.
It was like pointing at someone and insisting that they were called by another name and be another person. How could she accept it?
In the end, the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden still left. Chen Zong did not chase after her, because there was no need to.
