Chapter 1308: The Phoenix Plume, Heavenly Phoenix Standard, and Phoenix Maiden Seal, Loong Zhen’s Cautiousness

The crowd of sky-prides could only stand and watch Chu Hong receive the inheritance because the restriction seals were in their way.

Even Prodigies like Loong Zhen and Huang Yuyi could not damage the restrictions, seeing they were placed there by an Embodier cultivator.

“Hmph. She’ll have to come out from the restrictions one day. Once she comes out, her inheritance shall be mine!” Huang Yuyi said coldly.

“Hey! Finders’ keepers. I can’t just let you steal the inheritance for yourself,” said Loong Zhen.

“Let’s focus on getting the inheritance first. We’ll think about how to split it later.”

Huang Yuyi understood that there was no way she could have the inheritance all to herself with Prodigies like Loong Zhen around. Besides, she did not even have the inheritance yet.

Meanwhile, inside the Phoenix Flame, Chu Hong absorbed all of Huang Jinghuang’s Phoenix Flames and awakened her bloodline for the seventh time. She was even a few steps away from an eighth-awakened bloodline.

As a result, not only had her combat strength improve a lot, but the last four chapters of the Nine Transformation Nirvana Scriptures also appeared inside her mind.

Before the Immortal World Convergence, she had obtained the Nine Transformation Nirvana Scriptures from the Sycamore Mountain. It was a cultivation scripture and technique meant only for Godly Phoenixes, which happened to be passed down every generation in the Phoenix’s Nest. Back then, the scripture she obtained was incomplete, with only the first six chapters available. As of now, she finally had all the contents of the Nine Transformation Nirvana Scripture.

Furthermore, she also obtained Huang Jinghuang’s cultivation experience and all the cultivation techniques she learned throughout her lifetime. That knowledge was a part of the inheritance as well.

It was no surprise that Chu Hong’s cultivation progress skyrocketed after that Opportunity of Fortune. From a top-tier sky-pride, she was now a Prodigy and considered a relatively formidable cultivator among the Prodigies.

“Let’s take a look inside the palace.”

Chu Hong looked at the palace nearby. Having inherited Huang Jinghuang’s memories, Chu Hong knew she had left behind some of her treasures and items inside there.

With the crowd of sky-prides glaring at her from outside the restrictions, waiting to strike at any moment, the treasures inside the palace might prove to be of some help to her.

Upon entering the palace, Chu Hong was greeted by the radiance of treasures. A red feathery plume, a great flag engraved with mysterious Daoist patterns, and a golden-red jade seal appeared in front of her!

“These are her favorite items, the Treasured Phoenix Plume, Heavenly Phoenix Standard, and the Phoenix Maiden Seal!”

With the inherited memories, Chu Hong instantly recognized the three items.

The Treasured Phoenix Plume was one of the three items left behind by Huang Jinghuang that could allow Chu Hong to summon a portion of Huang Jinghuang’s power during a time of need as protection!

It was an extremely powerful item as a portion of an Embodier’s power was not something even the Arch Gilded Immortals could fend off against.

“Since this is the Interstellar Arena, the laws that the will of the Immortal World has set up will apply here, and Arch Gilded power levels are not allowed to exist here. Although I can use the Phoenix Plume here, I won’t be able to utilize its maximum power because the power contained within it will surely exceed the power limits of the Interstellar Arena. However, it should be enough for me to deal with those sky-prides outside.”

“Then again, I can only use this Phoenix Plume once. It’ll be a waste if I were to use it on the sky-prides outside. In that case, I should only use it as a last resort,” Chu Hong thought before looking at the next item.

The Heavenly Phoenix Standard was an Arch Gilded Immortal Weapon. Although it was not Huang Jinghuang’s Embodier Weapon, the Heavenly Phoenix Standard was something she once used during her youth.

The weapon possessed the flame attribute, which would benefit Godly Phoenixes, who were Flame-attribute divine beasts that wielded Phoenix Flames.

The final item was the Phoenix Maiden Seal!

If the Heavenly Phoenix Standard was for offense, the Phoenix Maiden Seal would be used for defense.

Every Phoenix Maiden of the Phoenix’s Nest possessed a Phoenix Maiden Seal of their own. Before she was a great one of the Phoenix’s Nest, Huang Jinghuang used to be a Phoenix Maiden. It meant that the Phoenix Maiden Seal was something she used during her youth, so the defensive capability of the item was unmatched when compared to some defense-focused Arch Gilded Immortal Weapons.

More importantly, the Phoenix Maiden Seal was a symbol of status that possessed great significance in the Phoenix’s Nest.

“Previously, some cultivators from the Phoenix’s Nest came and asked me to join them, but I turned down their offer. Now that I’ve obtained Huang Jinghuang’s inheritance, a connection with them is surely unavoidable. Seeing that the Phoenix’s Nest has a huge background and foundation, my cultivation progress will surely improve if I can get their support…”

Chu Hong pondered. Perhaps joining the Phoenix’s Nest would be a good choice for her.

Then, she glanced at the sky-prides outside the restrictions who were eyeing the treasures inside.

‘What a huge crowd. I can only make out their heads from over here.’

‘Especially those at the front, judging by their aura, they’re Prodigies for sure.’

Although she had gotten stronger, it would not end well for her if she was surrounded and attacked by so many people.

“Alright. Time is of the essence. I must refine the Heavenly Phoenix Standard and Phoenix Maiden Seal as quickly as possible. If I can use these two items against those people outside, perhaps I’ll stand a chance of surviving.”

“If things go south from there, I suppose I’ll have to use the Treasured Phoenix Plume as my last resort.” Chu Hong pondered.

Although she was unwilling to use the Phoenix Plume to deal with those sky-prides, her survival was still more important at the end of the day.

Therefore, she began to refine those items inside the palace.

Since Huang Jinghuang’s restrictions were still active, she did not need to worry about people breaking in and disrupting her.

Besides the three treasure items, there were also many Immortal Herbs inside the palace. Without a second thought, she immediately consumed and absorbed them upon finding any lying about. She planned to get as strong as she could before leaving the palace.

As time went by, two months passed.

Nevertheless, the crowd outside the palace did not get smaller. In fact, it grew larger.

“When is she going to come out? Is she going to be inside there her whole life?!”

There was a trace of anger on Huang Yuyi’s gorgeous face.

“Don’t worry. There’s no way she can stay inside there for long. I’ve ordered my men to attack the restrictions during this entire time. Although Huang Jinghuang’s restrictions are formidable, they’re still relics of the previous era, and the power of her restrictions has decreased tremendously since then. After some hacking and slashing, it’ll crumble in no time.”

“But compared to Chu Hong, I’m more worried about someone else,” Loong Zhen said as he stood beside her.

Huang Yuyi was a bit startled. “Are you worried about Chu Kuangren, the person behind Chu Hong’s back?”

“That’s right.”

Even a Prodigy like Loong Zhen could not help but turn serious when mentioning Chu Kuangren.

The news about what happened at the Sword Immortal Tombs especially made him even more cautious of Chu Kuangren.

No Prodigy in the Interstellar Arena was confident of winning against Chu Kuangren single-handedly, and Loong Zhen was no exception too.

“Hmph. Chu Kuangren, huh? If he dares to appear, I’ll see how strong he truly is.” Huang Yuyi snorted.

As the noble daughter of the Phoenix’s Nest, Huang Yuyi was undoubtedly an arrogant sky-pride that looked down on humans.

“Here’s some advice. Be careful when you fight him,” said Loong Zhen.

“Don’t you worry. I know what I’m doing. Besides, it has been several months, and Chu Kuangren still hasn’t shown himself. I bet he must be occupied with something and can’t come right away. Either that or he’s afraid of us. Whatever the reason is, he’s not a threat to us now,” Huang Yuyi said.

“I hope that’s the case.”

Loong Zhen nodded as he put that thought aside.

Although he was wary of Chu Kuangren, there was no need for him to be afraid. After all, he was a Prodigy of the Dragon Palace.

At that time, a powerful aura fluctuation appeared from within the palace.

Then, a phoenix cry reverberated through the skies!
