Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 723 - 594: Phoenix Blood
Taking a step into the gap leading to the Phoenix Emperor Heritage, Qi Xiu was engulfed by golden light, resembling a gilded waterfall cascading before him.
When the brilliance gradually faded, and his vision became clear again.
A vast, towering forest sea, where the clouds themselves were dwarfed beneath the immense trees, enveloped Qi Xiu.
"This is..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Staring at the colossal trees, each towering thousands of feet high like the pillars of heaven, Qi Xiu was slightly astonished.
Despite his extensive knowledge, having absorbed countless ancient books, he had never seen trees with spiritual roots capable of such growth.
Moreover, these giant trees showed no signs of developing spiritual wisdom, appearing as ordinary trees.
Yet logically, ordinary trees could not possibly grow to such a size.
"The heritage land of the Phoenix Emperor truly is extraordinary."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered this land of inheritance, he faced a situation that defied understanding, increasing Qi Xiu's curiosity about the Phoenix Emperor Heritage.
With a thought, he released Hu Tianzong from the True Dragon Law Realm.
This young clan leader of the Liaodong Hu Family was also stunned by the immense trees that surpassed normal limits.
Hands behind his back, circling the giant trees, Hu Tianzong clicked his tongue in amazement:
"Such a strange phenomenon, such a strange phenomenon.
These trees, brimming with vitality, almost rival some spirits that have been cultivating for years.
Yet there is not a hint of them developing spiritual wisdom or transforming into creatures.
It's unreasonable, very unreasonable."
Gazing at these celestial trees that pierced the sky, with their trunks reaching the clouds, Hu Tianzong looked around in disbelief.
With dragon eyes shining in purple-gold divine brilliance, Qi Xiu scanned the surroundings, noticing how the overwhelming vitality flowed in a golden ancient sea, slowly nurturing every blade and tree, myriad life forms.
It seemed that this vitality sea was precisely why the trees here grew so large, even breaking previous limits.
However...
With his gaze flashing, staring into the sky at the concentrated vitality, Qi Xiu attempted to capture a portion.
Yet the abundant vitality visible everywhere was entirely inaccessible, not even a trace could be drawn.
It was as if this vitality had been branded.
He, as an outsider, was not qualified to use it.
"Even ordinary trees can be nurtured to such a degree here, if there are spirit beings..."
Hu Tianzong's words were interrupted as the ground suddenly vibrated violently, roaring rapidly, as if a colossal creature was charging toward them.
"Oh my, my cursing mouth, whatever I say comes true!"
Patted his own lips, Hu Tianzong grinned wryly, ready to summon his powers and utilize his methods.
Yet, when he formed several Dharma Seals, it was as if waving in the air, without any response.
"Hmm?"
His face suddenly changed, Hu Tianzong hurriedly tried several more times, but no matter how he formed spells or urged his internal powers, he could not invoke a bit of strength.
Even the crimson cape on him could not be summoned, completely turning into an ordinary garment.
"What... what is the situation?!"
Completely bewildered by the scenario before him, Hu Tianzong's face turned red, scratching his head as he looked at Qi Xiu beside him, plaintively.
Fixing his gaze on Hu Tianzong, whose powers were entirely sealed, Qi Xiu's Dragon Blood vibrated slightly, and a term suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Great Dao Divine Ban!"
"Great Dao Divine Ban?"
Hearing this term for the first time, Hu Tianzong searched his entire mind but found no relevant information.
"Indeed, this is a unique technique of the Phoenix Clan.
It can nullify all Taoist skills and powers within a certain area of a Phoenix Nest.
The Phoenix Clan relied on this unique technique back then to preserve their lineage, passed down through generations.
Judging by this, this place should be a Phoenix Nest."
Explaining the power of the Great Dao Divine Ban, Qi Xiu pursed his lips, realizing that if this truly was a Phoenix Nest, the danger here would be hard to estimate...
"The Great Dao Divine Ban is so miraculous, then why are you unaffected, Daoist?" Hu Tianzong asked with lingering fear, looking at Qi Xiu with a complex expression.
He had personally witnessed Qi Xiu deploying methods without any hindrance.
"Even the might of the Phoenix cannot suppress the True Dragon."
In fact, upon realizing the presence of the Great Dao Divine Ban, Qi Xiu examined himself thoroughly.
But the majestic power known to seal the Dao did not affect the revered Dragon Blood of the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms.
All abilities of the True Dragon Body showed no signs of being sealed, functioning smoothly, without any anomalies.
"Alright then."
Hearing Qi Xiu's explanation, Hu Tianzong helplessly spread his hands:
"In that case, the task of acquiring the heritage is entirely up to you, Daoist."
"Don't worry, the Great Dao Divine Ban generally affects only the surroundings of a Phoenix Nest, once inside, it will dissipate, and you'll certainly have your chance."
"If that's truly the case, I am relieved."
Assured that he wouldn't be a burden, Hu Tianzong chuckled and then respectfully said:
"Since that's how it is, please bring me into the Realm, Daoist, for now, I can't even defeat a chicken.
Staying outside... haha, it's dangerous."
Amused, Qi Xiu smiled at the straightforward Hu Tianzong, waved his wide sleeve, opening the True Dragon Law Realm once again to bring him in.
Meanwhile, the distant running figure emerged, revealing its true body.
Caw caw—
The deafening crowing echoed in all directions, visible sound waves swept forth, cracking the sky-high pillars-like giant trees, and the tens-of-meters-high grass shattered into clouds of green mist.
