200: Chapter 200 Ice Phoenix Bloodline!

[As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain, Taiwan Novel Network, accompanying you in leisure, waiting for you to search.]

After the Sect Elder left, Divine Lord Dayan was instantly furious. He had never known that Zhao Changsheng could wield the Power of Space, nor had he even considered the possibility. Had he known earlier that Zhao Changsheng could wield the Power of Space, many things would have been achievable.

To put it bluntly, if he had known in advance that Zhao Changsheng could control the Power of Space, previous matters could have been handled easily without paying such a high price—not at all necessary.

"Kid, when exactly did you master this Power of Space? Don't tell me you just mastered it, absolutely don't!"

Divine Lord Dayan's words made Zhao Changsheng laugh. He immediately explained, "Senior, you are actually right about that. This Junior did indeed just master it recently. I hadn't even had the chance to tell you before I demonstrated it in front of that Elder. If nothing unexpected happens, even if that Elder goes to tell his fellow Sect members about this, they might not fully believe him; they will only think I used some kind of illusion Formation."

"In any case, they simply won't believe it."

"That's not necessarily true. According to what I know, there is an Ice Phoenix in the Ice Sea region. This Ice Phoenix possesses the Bloodline of an Ancient Era Heavenly Phoenix and is born with the mastery of the Power of Space. If nothing unexpected happens, they will likely suspect that you also possess the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline. Such situations have appeared in the history of Human Cultivators, though most were women; it is very difficult for men to possess the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline."

"It is said that in the ancient Spirit Realm, there were members of the Human Race who possessed the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline. However, I am not certain if this is true or false; I have only seen fragmented records in some ancient books. I cannot guarantee the truth of it, but it seems you truly possess the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline? If you possess the Power of Space and have mastered it, perhaps the legendary Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline has truly awakened within you. Why don't you check carefully to see if it has awakened? If the legendary Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline has truly awakened, then many things can be done. For example, you could converse with the Ice Sea Master, the Ice Phoenix; perhaps she would cooperate with your Cultivation Empire out of consideration for you also possessing the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline."

Divine Lord Dayan's words surprised Zhao Changsheng, because logically, the other party shouldn't know so much. He remembered that in the original plot, the other party was obsessed with Puppet arts. Although he was knowledgeable and knew many things, the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline seemed to be a bit too much.

But regardless, that was only the original plot. The current plot had already become a mess. As for what would happen, even Zhao Changsheng himself was unclear. Fortunately, he possessed sufficient strength; no matter what trouble arose, Zhao Changsheng believed he could handle it with ease.

There absolutely wouldn't be any problems. Without sufficient strength, Zhao Changsheng wouldn't dare to be as arrogant as he was before.

"Senior is right, but this Junior does not believe I possess the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline. After all, if I did, I probably would have already successfully broken through to the Soul Transformation Stage. Even if I couldn't break through, my strength would have greatly increased, and I would possess some of the legendary Divine Abilities of the Phoenix. But now, apart from this Power of Space, I have nothing. While this Power of Space is indeed good, I feel it is still not perfect. At most, it can only be used to scare others. If I wanted to kill someone with it, it would probably be quite difficult. For example, right now, I can only confine things within about a hundred zhang. To others, this might be significant, but for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators like us, it is simply not far enough; we can appear a hundred miles away in a single thought. Under these circumstances, trying to do anything is almost impossible, though I think it still has some use."

Zhao Changsheng's words met with Divine Lord Dayan's full agreement.

"You are right, but the main reason is that you do not yet understand the Power of Space you possess well enough. Once you can skillfully understand and master it, you will realize just how terrifying this Power of Space truly is. It is said that in this Cultivation World, there is a rumor that the Power of Space and the Power of Time are the two most terrifying forces; Space is supreme, and Time is primary. Anyone who masters either of these two forces can possess Divine Abilities that others do not have, especially the Power of Time, which even has the power to bring the dead back to life."

"As for whether it is true, no one knows, but it is ultimately possible. Of course, these are just records I have seen in ancient books. No one knows if they are true or false, and I do not know either. You do not need to ask me too much; this is all I can say."

"This Junior naturally understands, but I am still somewhat puzzled. Sometimes I really do not understand why my strength is so powerful. Senior, please do not misunderstand; this Junior is absolutely not showing off. I have no intention of showing off. Under these circumstances, how could I possibly show off? I am not a fool."

"It is just that this Junior does not know why I am able to master this power, but for this Junior, this power is indeed a very good deterrent Divine Ability. As long as those Righteous Path and Demonic Path Sects and Cultivators are wary of this Junior, what I need to do next will be much easier. For example, Kunwu Mountain. They have always been blocking this Junior from finding Kunwu Mountain, just to prevent me from obtaining the two heaven-reaching spiritual treasures inside the mountain. If I were to obtain those two heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, my strength would inevitably increase greatly. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly be at ease? And my Cultivation Empire would be very easily built. This is also a reason for them to be wary. They do not want me to be able to build this Cultivation Empire because the impact of this Cultivation Empire on them is simply too great—so great that it is unimaginable. There is no way to imagine how big the impact of this Cultivation Empire is on them; it is effectively the rhythm of completely controlling them."

"Under these circumstances, how could they be willing to be controlled by others? It has always been them, the Ten Great Sects, controlling other Sects. How could it be possible for another Sect to control them, making them work diligently without complaint, acting as beasts of burden? Such things are simply impossible. Therefore, no matter what price they have to pay, they will definitely try every possible means to get rid of me quickly. They will absolutely not allow me to continue living. This is an inevitable result, and I am very clear about this."

"So, I need to reveal my own Divine Abilities and strength now, to let them understand that the prerequisite for trying to move against me is possessing sufficient strength. If they do not have sufficient strength, then they are purely courting death and will not be able to leave alive."

"I hope they can understand this principle I am talking about as soon as possible. If they do not understand, then they are truly courting death. And I do not mind showing mercy and sending them on their way; that would also be a good thing for me, wouldn't it, Senior?"

"You kid really know how to talk, but what you said is not wrong. However, there is one thing you need to pay attention to, especially pay attention to. That is, no matter what price you have to pay, you must ensure the safety of the Mortal Realm. I always feel that the current Mortal Realm will soon face a disaster, and I fear that only you will be able to resolve it."

"Apart from you possessing this strength, I fear that no one else has this strength or this ability; instead, they might become your obstacles. This is also a matter for which there is no alternative; there is truly not a single way."

Divine Lord Dayan could not help but sigh. The situation in the current Mortal Realm was countless times more chaotic than it was back in his day.

Especially Zhao Changsheng, who wanted to build a Cultivation Empire. Although he had his own selfish motives, he also understood that this was for the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire Mortal Realm.

If the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Mortal Realm could truly recover to the Ancient Era, as Zhao Changsheng said, then the numerous factions and Cultivators would no longer need to worry about cultivation resources.

But unfortunately, wanting to achieve this is not an easy matter, and it has already met with obstruction from the most powerful force in the entire Mortal Realm. If it cannot be resolved, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Senior, regarding this point, you can rest assured. With this Junior here, there will absolutely not be any problems. This Junior has already made thorough preparations. No matter how big an unexpected event occurs, this Junior can handle it with ease; there will absolutely not be anything that makes you feel troubled or worried. If this Junior didn't even have this bit of strength, how could I tell you that I want to save the entire Mortal Realm? How could this Junior say such bragging things?"

"However, to resolve this matter, the first thing that must be done is to build this Junior's Cultivation Empire. Only by building such an Empire can I make the various factions of the entire Mortal Realm listen to me, and they must listen to me obediently without any defiance. Only in this way will the Mortal Realm have hope and be able to be saved."

"This is also a matter for which there is no alternative; if there were even a tiny bit of a way, it wouldn't have come to this. Senior, don't you agree? This Junior also has no other choice; this is the only way."

Zhao Changsheng's words made Divine Lord Dayan nod.

"What you said is indeed correct, this is indeed the case. Now, the entire Mortal Realm can probably only rely on you, kid. Relying on others is purely courting death; it is simply impossible."

"Moreover, they might not agree, and they might not be willing to do so. What they are doing now is blocking your plan."

"Then, do you think if they suspect you also possess the Ice Phoenix Bloodline, will they make a move against you again?"

"They are certainly thinking of making a move against me. If they know I have mastered the Power of Space, they should suspect that I possess the Ice Phoenix Bloodline. At this time, they will nine times out of ten make a move against me. But the prerequisite is that they must have the courage to do so. If they do not have this courage, just talking about it—I can talk too, I can say many things. There is no need to worry about such things at all. However, if nothing unexpected happens, they will probably go to the Ice Sea region and invite that Ice Sea Master, the Ice Phoenix, to make a move."

"Because in the entire Mortal Realm, I fear there is nothing more attractive to that Ice Sea Master than the Ice Phoenix Bloodline."

"That is also true. If she could obtain the Ice Phoenix Bloodline within your body, I fear she could break through to the Soul Transformation Stage at any time."

"Senior, you are mistaken. She could have broken through long ago, but because of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, she has had to continue delaying it."

"Because this Ice Sea Master needs to extend her lifespan to the limit and then break through; this way, she will live longer. There is no other way. I have already told you about the situation in the current Mortal Realm; only by following my method will there be a glimmer of hope for survival. But those old fogies insist on not being willing, and they insist on blocking me from building the Cultivation Empire."

"Although I do indeed have selfish motives in building this Cultivation Empire, it is indeed for the sake of the entire Mortal Realm. But as for them, they only have their own selfish interests. They just want to block me from building this Cultivation Empire because they know that once I have successfully built this Cultivation Empire, their interests and status will be affected, and they will have to listen to me obediently."

"There won't be any path for survival to speak of, but I haven't said I would do anything to them. At most, I would just make them listen obediently, follow my instructions, and deal with those Sealed Lands. As long as those Sealed Lands are dealt with and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is released, the situation in the entire Mortal Realm will have a glimmer of hope for survival. I absolutely do not have any selfish thoughts in this regard."

"But they just don't want me to do this, and they insist on blocking me. You tell me, what can I do? I can only go door-to-door and beat them up, making them understand as much as possible that I cannot be opposed. If they think I can be opposed, then I will make them understand how to write the two words 'death'. Anyway, I will absolutely not let them off easily. If I let them off easily, that is basically equivalent to provoking a huge trouble, letting go of a trouble."

"I will not do such stupid things no matter what. Such stupid things are better left to others; anyway, please do not leave them to me. The thing I want to do is the great matter of saving the entire Mortal Realm; it is not such a simple matter as this. If they do not agree or are not willing, then I will slaughter them all."

"So, the next thing will be a good thing. We are going to participate in a trading assembly, and this trading assembly has the things we need. Furthermore, I intend to directly book the entire assembly. I want to see who dares to stand up and oppose me, or stand up and block me to cause me trouble. If that is the case, I will also have a good excuse to settle accounts with the Sects behind them. This is a huge good thing."
