Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 215 Legend

A pair of enormous fiery wings suddenly appeared on the back of the slender figure sitting cross-legged.

The flames raged, crackling and burning, illuminating the entire room in a crimson glow.

Old Mu pointed tremblingly, his lips quivering, but he couldn't utter a single word, his face filled with shock.

Ignoring the fact that the flames were making his face red, he quickly took a few steps to the bookshelf next to him and started searching.

He finally picked up one of the dusty old books and started flipping through it. Soon, he exclaimed in amazement.

The mythical beast, the Fierce Phoenix, is surrounded by crimson flames. It is violent in life and eternal in death. Its red feathers cover its wings, which are composed of twelve interconnected bones.

"This...this is the fiery wings of the ancient Fiery Phoenix!"

Looking at those terrifying wings, with the crystalline bones on them faintly visible, Old Mu was certain he wasn't mistaken. He wiped the sweat from his brow and asked, "Could this girl be a divine beast transformed into a human?"

After a moment's thought, he shook his head and quickly figured out the reason for the matter.

It seems that the divine beast beneath Burning Phoenix Manor was indeed taken by this girl; she even lied to him, saying she hadn't seen it...

"I didn't expect that!"

Old Mu sighed inwardly.

The girl didn't tame the mythical beast; instead, she devoured it.

How shocking!

Just as Old Master Mu was still immersed in shock, he saw Guan Xun's face suddenly become extremely distorted, his features almost twisted into a knot.

A beam of dark blue light suddenly shot out from her body, enveloping her entirely in concentric circles!

The dark red flames are gradually fading; more accurately, the two are resisting each other.

At the same time, the alternating hot and cold air flow throughout the house is very noticeable.

Before Elder Mu could react, a huge, half-enclosed phantom flower bloomed above Guan Xun's head.

Almost the instant the phantom of the flower appeared, the fiery wings flapped, and the shadow of a giant bird with a seven-feathered tail resembling a phoenix emerged from behind.

The two appeared to be fighting fiercely, but it only lasted for a short while, and the phoenix was ultimately overwhelmed by the giant flower.

The golden threads of the flower stamen lashed out, violently scattering the phantom of the phoenix. It let out a mournful cry and vanished into thin air. The flames covering Guan Xun's body weakened almost instantly.

The temperature in the house stabilized, and the giant flower's shadow burst into starlight that fell from the sky, seeping into Guan Xun's skin and covering it with dense and strange patterns.

Like the shape of golden threads in flower stamens, they circle upon circle, even extending to the cheeks and hair.

Every time the lines on her skin flickered, Guan Xun felt excruciating pain. She could feel the energy raging within her body, but she was powerless to stop it.

He quickly became dizzy and lost consciousness.

It wasn't until Guan Xun collapsed to the ground that Old Mu snapped out of his shock. He rushed over to check on the situation and found the patterns increasingly bizarre.

The shock that had just subsided surged back into my heart.

"This is……!"

……

When Guan Xun woke up again, it was already the next morning.

She no longer felt any obvious discomfort. She carefully examined her body and found that the energy of the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower was still there, but her body seemed to have adapted to this energy and was not too resistant to it.

She was slightly surprised.

"You're awake?" Old Mu's voice rang out just in time.

Guan Xun looked in the direction of the sound and saw Old Master Mu taking a sip of tea and looking at her with a very complicated expression.

"Girl, tell me honestly, did you go to the snowy region?" he asked.

Guan Xun paused for a moment, then nodded.

Old Mu immediately exclaimed, "Indeed, indeed..."

"Have you ever heard a legend about the snowy region?"

Seeing the puzzled look on the other person's face, he lowered his eyes and said, "The snowy region has always been a forbidden area. Outsiders may not know this, but our clan has lived here for nearly a thousand years. No one knows the truth of the legends better than us."

"A legend about a god."

“God.” Guan Xun seemed to be thinking, his brows furrowing.

Old Mu nodded: "A long, long time ago, it was said that there were countless rare treasures and exotic beasts in the snowy region. Some people set out to explore with great enthusiasm, but they did not expect that they would be shrouded in blizzard as soon as they entered the snowy region. In less than half a day, they lost their way."

When this was mentioned, Old Mu's face became solemn, and his tone inevitably revealed some worry.

"Not only that, it is said that even the spiritual power in one's body cannot be fully utilized, and the entire space is as if it was created by a mysterious force."

"Alas, it's a pity. That man didn't see any rare treasures. Instead, he encountered monsters at every step. He was kind-hearted and only came here to broaden his horizons. Even when he was injured by monsters, he couldn't bear to hurt them in the slightest. He just tried his best to knock them unconscious so he could escape."

"He was attacked countless times in just a few days, but the sharp blade in his hand was still not stained with a single drop of blood. Soon he was exhausted. When the monster attacked again, he resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes. However, after waiting for a long time, he did not hear the attack. Instead, he heard a light sound of a sleeve being brushed and warm currents enveloping his whole body."

"Saved by man, no, or perhaps saved by God?" Guan Xun raised an eyebrow, a white figure involuntarily appearing in his mind.

"Hmm." Old Master Mu sighed, took out a yellowed scroll from his sleeve and opened it. "Supremely holy and enlightened, inviolable."

It is an extremely simple portrait, depicting the outline of the human body with only a few strokes of ink, focusing on the strange patterns covering the skin.

“The person who ventured into the snowy region was our ancestor. This is a portrait he left behind. According to him, this pattern is a symbol of the gods.” He pointed to the pattern on it with his fingertip, then glanced at Guan Xun. “After you fell into a coma yesterday, the exact same pattern appeared on your body.”

Upon hearing this, Guan Xun lowered her eyes suspiciously and stared at her exposed skin. She focused her energy in her dantian, and when all the energy in her body became agitated, she indeed felt her skin getting hot. The next second, countless lines appeared, flickering, but quickly faded away.

This……

She was astonished to find that the texture contained the energy of the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower!

“Although a Spirit Master can become a god after cultivating to level 100, you have not yet reached that level, and the patterns on your body are very unstable. I suspect that you must have encountered some kind of opportunity in the snowy region to achieve this.”

Old Mu's eyelids twitched, and he hesitated, "Perhaps... this is a pseudo-demigod's body?"

"It seems even Elder Mu is undecided." Guan Xun chuckled, stretching his muscles as he joked.

"Oh dear, this is just speculation, I dare not make any assertions." Old Mu rolled his eyes and said, "I see you're not surprised at all."

Guan Xun smiled wryly. The Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower was no ordinary thing, so she wouldn't be surprised at what level it would reach after being absorbed and refined.

It was quite unexpected that Tianying Chanhua would let her absorb energy on her own initiative.

"A demigod's body?" Guan Xun murmured, tilting his head slightly and smiling at Elder Mu. "Didn't you say you didn't have any blood crystals? My body has clearly only stabilized after absorbing the energy of blood crystals."

Upon being caught red-handed, Old Man Mu coughed awkwardly a few times. He tried to refute with a long face, but after glaring at Guan Xun a few times, he secretly slapped his thigh a few times.

This girl is very clever. She has such abilities at such a young age. She will probably be extraordinary in the future... If I can make her owe me a favor, she will have more options when she encounters difficulties in the future.

After thinking it over, he stood up with his hands behind his back and became serious: "Blood crystals are limited, and I can only use them to suppress that energy for a period of time. As for what will happen next, you will have to find a way to deal with it yourself."

As expected, Guan Xun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then thank you, Elder Mu."
