chapter-1622

In order for a territory to be ranked, it must first have a community with at least a hundred Predators. Once that requirement was fulfilled, the overall prowess of that territory determined the rank of the territory.

The Phoenix territory that Yuan planned on going to was a rank-two territory, with over ten Chaotic Immortals, each as strong as a Bronze Immortal, at the very least.

Even though the Divine Fox of Grand Prophecy warned him of the dangers and the Phoenixes' hatred toward Dragons, Yuan had to go there not just to find the Primal Monarch but also for Feng Yuxiang.

"If you're resolute on going to the Phoenixes' territory, I won't stop you." The Divine Fox of Grand Prophecy pointed in a certain direction and continued, "If you go straight, you'll arrive at your destination in about three months, and I have already taken into consideration the Shadow Dweller's speed."

"Thank you. I'll return once I acquire the treasure."

"Don't forget this time, and it's called the True Ember." "I won't." Yuan smiled.

Yuan and Yingzi left the Mystic Valley and began their journey to the Phoenixes' territory shortly after.

"Yingzi, I don't expect you to protect me inside the Phoenixes' territory. If you sense danger, just run."

However, Yingzi said, "While I won't be able to defeat the Phoenixes, I can ensure you keep your life, at the very least, but it'll cost you."

"Of course." He nodded.

While they traveled, Yuan pondered how he should communicate with the Phoenixes once they arrived.

'According to the Divine Fox, they will attack Dragons on sight, so I probably won't be able to have a proper conversation with them. I should try to acquire their attention as soon as possible, but how can I achieve that?'

Yuan pondered whether it would be a good idea to reveal Feng Yuxiang's egg to them.

'No, I can't do that until I am certain they won't attack me. I cannot risk it, especially when Feng Feng is in that condition.'

'Should I just use Immortal Monarch's Dominion on them? That will definitely get their attention, but there's a chance it might not work on them, and there's a good chance it might anger them even further.'

Unable to think of anything, Yuan asked Xiao Hua and Yu Ning for advice.

"Sorry, but I can't think of anything." Yu Ning sighed.

"Brother Yuan, why don't you look inside that dumb pigeon's spatial ring and see if there's anything useful in there." Xiao Hua suddenly suggested.

Feng Yuxiang had left behind her spatial ring when she entered her slumber. Normally, one wouldn't be able to access another person's spatial ring while the owner was still alive, but Feng Yuxiang was Yuan's servant and had previously granted him permission to use it.

However, Yuan never even tried to look inside her spatial ring, as he respected her privacy and refused to invade it.

"I guess I have no choice. I'll apologize to her later."

Yuan retrieved Feng Yuxiang's spatial ring and opened it for the first time.

"?!?!?"

Yuan's eyes widened with shock after seeing the treasures inside.

He'd always known that Feng Yuxiang had a large collection of rare treasures because of her store in the Lower Heavens, but he'd vastly underestimated her wealth.

After seeing just how truly wealthy Feng Yuxiang was, Yuan couldn't help but bow to her inside his head.

Not only did Feng Yuxiang's spatial ring have a larger storage space than his own Dragon Spatial Ring, but there were all sorts of treasures that could only be found in the Upper Heavens. What she'd shown in her store at the Lower Heavens barely scratched the surface of her vast collection.

There were mountains of treasures in the spatial ring for Yuan to go through, and luckily for him, he had nothing but time for the next three months.

After spending two and a half months going through all of the items, Yuan found several that might help him in the Phoenixes' territory.

[Burning Phoenix Pill] [Tier 7] [Purity: 94%]

[Effects: Permanently increases fire resistance and grants the power of a Phoenix for nine sunrises]

[Ancient Phoenix Robes]

[Grade: Mythic]

[Quality: Peak]

[Description: An ancient robe, once worn by the most noble of Phoenixes, symbolizing their supreme status and power. Grants fire immunity. It can only be worn by those with a Phoenix bloodline.]

[Warning: Those without a Phoenix bloodline will be punished with Phoenix's Wrath if they try to wear this item!]

[Primordial Phoenix Blood Essence]

[Effects: ???]

[Description: The Blood Essence of a Primordial Phoenix]

When Yuan saw the Primordial Phoenix Blood Essence, it reminded him of the Dragon Ancestor's Blood Essence, and knowing how valuable it was, he didn't dare to use it without Feng Yuxiang's permission. However, it made him wonder how Feng Yuxiang acquired such a precious treasure in the first place.

'Phoenix's Wrath… how bad could it be?'

After taking some time to mentally prepare himself, Yuan asked Yingzi to stop traveling temporarily.

"Give me a moment to try something out," he said to her before gaining some distance from her.

Once he felt there was enough distance between them, Yuan retrieved the Ancient Phoenix Robes and wore it on him.

Ding!

<The Ancient Phoenix Robes burns with rage!>

<You have been afflicted with Phoenix's Wrath!>

[Phoenix's Wrath]

[Effects: Inflicts immense pain upon the targeted.]

Yuan's body suddenly became engulfed in flames that were several times stronger than the Starfire Dragon's most powerful attack, enveloping him in a blazing aura of unprecedented pain. Yet, despite the immense pain and being enveloped in flames far more intense than those of the Starfire Dragon, Yuan's body resisted immediate disintegration, and only his skin was burnt away. The purpose of Phoenix's Wrath was to inflict pain so excruciating that death would seem a preferable alternative.

Yuan attempted to withstand the pain, but even with his exceptional physique and high pain tolerance, he could only bear it for a few seconds. Upon removing the Ancient Phoenix Robes, the flames of Phoenix's Wrath dissipated, yet the agonizing pain lingered in his body for a little longer, enough to nearly make him lose consciousness.

<Your resistance to fire has increased tremendously>

<You have gained Super Fire Resistance>
