Thunder Liquid

Inside the Beast Clan Secret Realm!

As Phoenix Yingtian pledged his allegiance, he immediately demonstrated his worth.

“Master, the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan, once mighty in the Central Continent, amassed countless rare treasures.”

“Some of these treasures have been consumed over the years, but most of them were placed in two locations.”

“One is within the Five Elements Pagoda, as Tian’er mentioned earlier.”

“The second is stored in another place.”

“I will now take Master to retrieve all of them.”

Upon hearing this, Phoenix Tian was shocked.

“Father, why didn’t I know our Family had a second Treasure Trove?”

Phoenix Yingtian grumbled, “They say you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

“If you knew everything, how could I still be the Clan Chief?”

Phoenix Tian was indignant.

“Father!”

“What about the most basic trust between people?”

“I treat you as my father, yet you hold back from me!”

“Your possessions will all be inherited by me in the future; what’s the point of hiding them like this?”

Phoenix Yingtian retorted, “Now you know I’m your Old Man?”

“Weren’t you quite happy backstabbing me earlier?”

Apparently, the current Phoenix Yingtian was still bothered by some of Phoenix Tian’s earlier actions.

The bizarre way these two father and son interacted made Zhong Qing feel a strange sense of amusement.

They truly were a pair of living treasures, father and son.

The group set off again.

At the same time!

In the Nurturing Divine Land!

Alp was eloquently extolling the glorious achievements of Clan Chief Phoenix Yingtian.

“Clan Chief, he suffered so much!”

“To resolve our clan’s Cursed Killing Art, he did not hesitate to go undercover among the enemy, enduring all sorts of grievances, hardships, and pain.”

“Now, whenever I think of the Clan Chief’s humble appearance, my heart feels as if it’s being twisted by a knife; I wish I could take his place.”

...

As he delivered his lengthy speech, all the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hounds, led by Phoenix Yu and the twelve other leaders, were deeply moved.

On the altar platform, Phoenix Yu remained silent for a moment before murmuring, “I initially thought that the Old Ancestor chose him as Clan Chief simply because his strength was slightly superior to mine.”

“Only now do I realize that the Old Ancestor is indeed the Old Ancestor.”

“His eye for selecting people is unmatched.”

“How is his strength merely a notch above mine?”

“To find a solution for the Cursed Killing Art, he was willing to cast aside his dignity and pride.”

“This kind of courage is far beyond what I can achieve.”

The other leaders expressed their admiration.

“Previously, I was somewhat unconvinced by the Clan Chief, but now, I am completely convinced.”

“If anyone dares to speak ill of the Clan Chief in the future, they’ll have to ask if I agree first.”

“Phoenix Tian is also excellent!”

“This child’s talent is already extraordinary.”

“It’s just that his personality used to be too erratic, making it difficult for him to shoulder great responsibilities.”

“Unexpectedly, this time, he was able to put aside his dignity and pride, all to better cooperate with the Clan Chief.”

“He has truly grown a lot.”

“In my opinion, he is now fully capable of taking up the banner and standing on his own.”

Everyone lavished praise without reservation.

Even those who had previously expressed dissatisfaction and defiance regarding Phoenix Yingtian’s position as Clan Chief now felt sincere admiration.

The exclamations and praises of the crowd even startled Old Ancestor Phoenix Aotian, who was in secluded Cultivation.

After understanding the full story.

Phoenix Aotian fell silent.

Finally, he made a concluding remark.

“Nonsense, when has my Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan ever needed to humble ourselves to obtain what we want?”

“However, considering their commendable intentions, I will not pursue their mistakes in this matter.”

“This spirit of contributing to the clan’s development can be promoted, but such foolish behavior is absolutely unacceptable.”

“We respectfully heed the Old Ancestor’s teachings!”

The people below shouted in response.

At the same time, each of them understood clearly in their hearts.

Despite the Old Ancestor’s superficial reprimand, the look in his eyes clearly showed an increasing fondness for the Clan Chief.

It was likely that he had already credited the Clan Chief with a major accomplishment in his heart.

If the Clan Chief could truly find some clues to break the Cursed Killing Art, then that would indeed be a great achievement that would be recorded in the annals of history, even within the entire Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan.

After all, their preparations for Rebirth in the Secret Realm were not a true breaking of the Cursed Killing Art, but rather a temporary concealment using a clever method.

But that was only temporary.

...

The gentle breeze blew, and white clouds drifted across the sky.

Within the clouds!

While the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan members who were monitoring Zhong Qing were still moved by the Clan Chief’s self-sacrifice and selfless dedication, Phoenix Yingtian and Phoenix Tian had already led Zhong Qing and his group smoothly into the first Secret Realm Treasure Trove.

This scene completely fried the CPUs of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hounds in the clouds.

“No, why would the Clan Chief take them to our clan’s Treasure Trove?”

Someone was utterly bewildered, their eyes revealing a clear foolishness.

Although they didn't know the exact location of the Treasure Trove, they knew it was stored within the Five Elements Pagoda.

Now, seeing their Clan Chief leading outsiders into the Pagoda, their first reaction was not to think that the Clan Chief had betrayed them, but rather confusion and doubt filled their hearts.

“Let’s wait and see!”

“The Clan Chief’s actions must have a profound meaning.”

“How can his wisdom be fathomed by us?”

Another Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound said thoughtfully.

As they were discussing, Zhong Qing and his group were dazzled by the treasures.

What met their eyes!

Spirit Stones!

Boundless Spirit Stones were scattered on the ground like this, forming a thick layer.

They stretched as far as the eye could see.

It was as if everyone had arrived in a world entirely built from Spirit Stones.

These Spirit Stones emitted a crystal-clear glow.

Every single one was a High-Grade Spirit Stone.

Looking at the dense scale, the unit was at least in the hundreds of millions.

As for the exact number?

Countless!

Simply countless!

Putting aside everything else, just this batch of Spirit Stones, if released, would likely cause any force in the entire Central Continent to go mad.

After all, Spirit Stones are the foundation of all Cultivation.

They play an irreplaceable role in the entire Cultivation world.

And Spirit Stones were just the most basic items in the entire Secret Realm!

In a pond built from Spirit Stones in the distance, there was a pool of azure liquid.

This liquid was extraordinary; streaks of lightning power shimmered upon its surface.

“Lightning Liquid!”

“It’s actually Lightning Liquid!”

Feng Buqun’s face changed dramatically.

He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The so-called Lightning Liquid was something born from lightning.

Lightning represents power, a symbol of chaos, and destruction.

As the saying goes, extreme Yin gives birth to Yang, and extreme Yang gives birth to Yin.

The Lightning Liquid, born from lightning, is a substance that comes to life from death.

It contains rich and vast vitality.

A single drop can bestow powerful life force upon living beings, possessing the great power to bring bones back to life and revive the dead.

However, this was just one of its many functions.

Its most powerful aspect was its ability to improve the body and enhance Aptitude.

A single drop could transform a Trash who couldn't Cultivate into a Genius far surpassing their peers.

A single drop could make even Venerable-level forces fight over it.

However, such a supreme treasure now existed in a whole pond!

If one were to ask Feng Buqun about his first feeling upon seeing the Treasure Trove, it would be that it was too extravagant!

So extravagant that he couldn't take his eyes off it.
