Chapter 459: Chapter 336: First Encounter with the Phoenix Ancestor, the Mysterious Jiang Ming

"That figure..."

Jiang Ming furrowed his brows, still deep in thought.

A figure emerged from the mysterious black hole.

Divine King?

Seems to share origins with the Divine Buddha.

Yet the aura on him is exceedingly ethereal.

Similar to the aura of the Immortal Demon Corpse.

What is the origin of that Divine King?

What is the origin of the Immortal Demon Corpse?

And what role does the God-Demon List play in all of this?

What is the black hole in the Great Lii World, and how is it related to the black hole in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm?

What are the foundations of the Divine Buddha?

Jiang Ming, after probing, ended up with even more questions in his heart.

Yet, this time, he also eradicated his Divine Buddha Celestial Demon, removing a hidden disaster.

Even more importantly, he uncovered the Source Point, a crucial item.

In the fifth life simulation, a talent surpassing 18,000 Spirit Points requires a special item, the Source Point.

What is the origin of this Source Point...

Is it only obtained by slaying the Divine Buddha...

Though Jiang Ming has slain one Divine Buddha, it was with Pei Min’s aid.

Now he’s witnessed the birth of the Divine Buddha firsthand, yet remains ignorant of its essence.

Jiang Ming looked up to find a Flame Divine Phoenix quietly observing him.

An overwhelming pressure descended, stemming from the level of life itself, enough to make anyone kneel.

Jiang Ming, however, gazed slowly and steadily at the Divine Phoenix in the sky.

In the past, Jiang Ming might have been awed and reverent towards the Divine Phoenix.

Now, it’s merely a respect for a powerful entity.

"Jiang Ming, greets the Great Lii Phoenix Ancestor."

Phoenix Ancestor, a strong being at the Ancestor Level, equivalent to the Nascent Soul, is indeed formidable.

But there’s no need for Jiang Ming to be astonished.

"Your colleague just now, where is he?"

Embraced by dancing flames, the Fire Phoenix landed on the ground, transforming into a proud woman donned in a crimson palace dress.

Her phoenix-like eyes were alluring, yet her demeanor was distinctly noble and ethereal.

The Phoenix Ancestor glanced around but couldn’t find the ’strong entity’ from earlier.

The Character Summoning Card completely isolated Jiang Ming and Pei Min’s aura from one another.

Even if there were a Great Cultivator proficient in Qi Observation present, they couldn’t discern the karmic connection between Pei Min and Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming’s expression slightly shifted.

He said, "My senior has naturally departed."

Given that the Phoenix Ancestor already misunderstood, it was best to play along.

"Senior?!"

The Phoenix Ancestor squinted at Jiang Ming, attempting to probe into Jiang Ming’s body, seeking his foundations.

Or perhaps trying to force the strong entity behind Jiang Ming to reveal themselves with this method.

Yet in the next moment, a hint of surprise appeared on the Phoenix Ancestor’s face.

Jiang Ming suddenly exuded a peculiar aura, astonishingly similar to the Phoenix Ancestor’s.

The Phoenix Spirit controlled by the Level 1 Soul Control!

"How did you!?"

Surprise flickered across the Phoenix Ancestor’s face.

Her aura suddenly erupted.

The sky suddenly turned crimson.

In the distance, formidable foes of the Demon Realm turned pale, fleeing south tens of thousands of miles without daring to look back.

Though the Divine Buddha was untouchable and not to be gazed upon directly, it wouldn’t devour them.

The mad woman in the north, however, truly dared.

Jiang Ming paused, then carefully sensed the aura on his body.

"Phoenix... True Blood?"

Amidst it, he felt a familiar aura.

Back then, Xiang Wuji entered the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool with the identity of Bai Ze True Blood from the Celestial Fox Race.

That time, there was also a Demon Race Celestial Pride bearing the Phoenix True Blood, secretly cultivated as a top-tier genius.

Even Xiang Wuji back then only exchanged distant glances.

Phoenix True Blood, one of the most potent among Divine Beast True Blood.

To encounter it now in the Great Lii World.

Had it not been for the Phoenix Ancestor’s aura agitating the Demon Soul controlled on Jiang Ming, he might never have discerned that subtle aura.

However...

Phoenix True Blood possesses its own pride, and is not to be owned by anyone other than the Child of Destiny.

Before the Phoenix Ancestor...

Jiang Ming linked it to the multitude of Phoenix Spirits in the Great Lii Branch, with a faint suspicion emerging in his heart.

"Senior, it seems the true blood on you has brought quite a bit of trouble..."

An infinite deadly intent descended, engulfed by heavenly fire.

Yet Jiang Ming felt the killing intent surrounding him growing weaker.

"True blood, what is that."

A cold female voice resonated.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming was briefly stunned, then comprehended.

The Great Lii World fundamentally lacks the inheritance of true blood, and thus knows nothing of true blood’s origin.

It’s understandably perplexing, as the Great Lii World doesn’t seem capable of producing a Demon Race Great Saint.

In the everlasting void amidst countless worlds, seeing a Demon Race Great Saint from other worlds wouldn’t be surprising.

Yet in the Great Lii, it seems peculiar.

Jiang Ming also collected his emotions, calmly saying: "Senior doesn’t need to ask further, just know I can help you."

"A mere Human Race from the Divine Treasure Realm, where does this palace get the nerve to bargain with me."

Jiang Ming remained emotionally composed.

He said, "Senior can attempt a trial."

In the next second, endless flames surged forth.

As if to engulf Jiang Ming completely, but only flames surged with no other fluctuations.

In the end, the Phoenix Ancestor didn’t dare to gamble more.

Especially after encountering an exceptional powerhouse secretly surpassing the Ancestor Realm.

Jiang Ming felt steadied, clutching the Summoning Card tightly in his palm without relaxing.

The flames obediently swirled beside the Phoenix Ancestor.

Step by step, she approached Jiang Ming.
