Free Web NovelBehind the stone door was a grotto.
Trees, rocks, and insects were all in a crystallized state, like red gems.
It was beautiful, yet deathly silent.
No one had set foot here for a long time, but everything in the grotto seemed to be eternally frozen in a moment, enveloped by red crystals.
The Azure Soul light grew denser, having solidified into substance.
And at the source of the Azure Soul light, there was a vivid, mystical small tree.
Not far away, there was a bathtub-sized pool filled with a rose-red liquid, emitting a strange fragrance that made one's pores open wide.
This was the entirety of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang's Legacy.
Everything was exactly as it had been when Ying Bing arrived in her previous life.
She let out a long breath.
The Nine-Colored Yuanhuang was extremely important to her.
One could say.
If not for the Nine Souls of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang, the Blood Phoenix Scripture she relied on would be like a rootless duckweed, not even as good as a peerless art.
The reason she was able to Rebirth was because, at the last moment, she used a forbidden art from the Blood Phoenix Scripture that was still in the hypothetical stage:
'Nirvana.'
Now, she obtained the Azure Soul at an earlier time!
Moreover, she didn't need to grope around; she knew all its wonders!
In this life, she would fly higher, faster, and farther...
Ying Bing reined in her surging emotions and softly said:
"The water in that pool is stained with a trace of an Auspicious Beast's essence blood."
"You can go soak in it; the benefits for your future are immeasurable, at least your Body Refining cultivation will reach a higher level."
A trace of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang's essence blood.
In her previous life, it was precisely because she had soaked in this pool that she completed her Meridians opening.
And from then on, she became immune to all poisons, and in the Qi Blood Realm, she felt as if she /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ had divine assistance.
She didn't need it now, though.
"Then thank you very much."
"You should also go accept your Legacy quickly."
Li Mo smiled, in a good mood.
Although the Ice Cube didn't explicitly say it, he knew in his heart that this so-called Auspicious Beast essence blood was likely the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang's essence blood.
Even without the investment feedback, this trip could be considered quite fruitful.
The rewards given by the System were very, very rarely comparable to this pool of spring water.
Don't look at the Ice Cube's appearance, which keeps people a thousand miles away; she still cares about me in her heart...
He wasn't being coy either.
He directly stepped into the pool water.
Instantly, an extremely strong vital Qi drilled in through every pore on his body, like countless small fish, swimming through the major Meridians around him.
It was so comfortable that it felt like his Soul was being cleansed.
"Thus, I have repaid this favor."
Ying Bing thought that after she repaid the favor, she would feel as if a stone had been lifted from her heart.
But for some reason.
At this moment, she felt a little empty?
However, Li Mo being able to reach this point was already a huge change in his destiny.
In the future, he might even have a place in the Eastern Wasteland Region...
Suppressing her emotions, Ying Bing lowered her gaze to the small tree.
The small tree, though less than a person's height, subtly exuded a grand and majestic feeling.
Its branches were bare, and it was unclear whether it was alive or dead.
Ying Bing bit her fingertip.
Plop---
Blood dripped onto the soil, flowing into the small tree from its roots.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
With the first drop, the withered trunk began to show signs of life.
With the second drop, new buds began to appear on the trunk.
With the third drop, the new buds turned into branches and began to grow rapidly.
With the fourth drop, the branches became lush with leaves, and a small bud emerged from the top of the crown.
.....
Until the ninth drop of blood fell.
The flower bud finally bloomed completely.
A clear, melodious cry, like the sound of shattering jade.
"Azure Soul."
Ying Bing's gaze fell on the flower bud, where a palm-sized miniature Phoenix bird stood.
The Phoenix bird was lifelike and extremely agile.
If one didn't know the secret, they would think it was a living creature.
She reached out, wanting it to jump onto her palm.
However.....
The Phoenix bird suddenly flapped its wings and quickly flew away.
Ying Bing: "?!"
A sudden change occurred.
Her heart pounded, and she quickly turned her head, her gaze following the Phoenix bird.
This is....
Li Mo?!
The Phoenix bird landed on the young man's shoulder, hopping around, appearing very affectionate.
The Nine-Colored Yuanhuang Azure Soul, which she had watered with her own blood, actually chose Li Mo? freёwebnoѵel.com
Ying Bing found it somewhat unbelievable, even suspecting it was her hallucination.
Her Taiyin Moon Phoenix Body could successfully awaken the Azure Soul.
This indicated that her Physique had a close connection with the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang.
And she should have been the chosen successor.
This was something she had been absolutely certain of in both her past and present lives!
But Li Mo... why?
The Phoenix bird, transformed from the Azure Soul, actually abandoned her and chose him?
Could it be because there was the Qi of a true Phoenix in that brocade pouch?
"Huh? Where did this bird come from?"
Li Mo was soaking in the hot spring.
He opened his eyes and saw a beautiful little bird hopping on his chest.
He wanted to ask Ying Bing what was going on and if there was any danger, but he found her expression extremely complicated.
Li Mo's mind jolted.
It was the first time he had seen the Ice Cube with such an expression.
"This is... your Legacy?" Li Mo asked.
Ying Bing nodded faintly: "Mm."
Li Mo: "......"
Inside the grotto, it suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of their breathing.
The scene became extremely awkward for a moment.
"This... Ice Cube, you're not thinking of... killing for treasure, are you?"
Li Mo stood up from the pool water and tentatively asked:
"We're like siblings... childhood sweethearts..."
Ying Bing's emotions were originally inexpressible.
But the young man's nervous expression inexplicably made her feel amused.
She raised her delicate eyebrows:
"Why not?"
When she said that, Li Mo's expression relaxed instead: "Don't trick me, you're not that kind of person."
Ying Bing looked up at him, not speaking.
Yes.
If this young man didn't completely trust her, he wouldn't have jumped down with her.
Li Mo suddenly asked: "This is very important to you, isn't it?"
"Yes."
Ying Bing nodded, falling into memories.
The Nine Souls of the Nine-Colored Yuanhuang had helped her overcome many difficulties; rather than an Opportunity, it later became a crucial, inseparable part of her destiny and life.
And among them, the Azure Soul had accompanied her for the longest time.
But now, a part of her life had chosen someone else.
The Phoenix Heavenly Empress Young Miss's mood was extremely complicated.
"Then this must be a very powerful item."
Li Mo examined the small bird hopping in his palm.
The little thing was quite pretty.
Ying Bing's delicate eyebrows furrowed for a long time, then finally relaxed:
"But since it chose you, it belongs to you."
"Hmm?"
Li Mo blinked and asked:
"After all that effort, aren't you unwilling?"
"I am, but it has already chosen you."
Ying Bing regained her composure: "Besides... without it, I am still me."
It was quite domineering.
Xiao Li admitted that he was a tiny bit impressed.
He finally managed to tease the Ice Cube, but instead, he was the one who got shown up.
No wonder she was the Daughter of Destiny.
He laughed in spite of himself.
Li Mo blocked the small Phoenix bird that wanted to get close and snuggle with him.
The small Phoenix bird looked a little wronged, and one could even see a hint of human-like confusion.
"Go, go to where you should be."
"Following her, you'll still see me often."
Li Mo gently tossed it.
The small Phoenix bird seemed to understand his meaning, flapping its wings and flying back to Ying Bing.
Ying Bing looked up.
Her jade-like face finally lost its composure.
She looked at the young man, her eyes filled with surprise, and even bewilderment.
Ying Bing asked as if she was seeing him for the first time: "It can change your destiny, giving you the chance to stand at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, you can still go back on your word now."
"I know, right."
Li Mo's smile was genuine.
The more precious it was, the better his investment return.
A precious Legacy capable of changing Ying Bing's destiny, what kind of return would the System give him?
Tsk tsk...
"But it's not easy to see you have something you consider important for the first time."
"......"
Ying Bing's clear, serene eyes gazed at him blankly.
The young man's smile was as bright as ever, without reluctance, without regret, and even...
A little anticipation?
Having lived two lives, she had seen too much.
In the face of Opportunity, spouses scheming against each other, fathers and sons turning against each other, brothers harming each other, she had become accustomed to it all.
It was precisely because she no longer fully trusted anyone that she could go so far.
But today.
An exception seemed to have occurred?
"Being overly sentimental isn't like you, hurry up and accept the Legacy."
"......."
The unfathomable meaning in Ying Bing's eyes changed several times, finally revealing a faint gentleness:
"Okay."
The small Phoenix bird flew into her glabella, transforming into a rose-red pattern there.
Ten thousand auspicious colors suddenly erupted.
Azure Soul light rushed out of the cave, blooming with indescribable splendor.
Outside, dusk was approaching.
But Qingyuan suddenly lit up, like a river of stars formed by Azure Soul light.
The clear cries of the Phoenix bird echoed endlessly, resounding through the sky.
Qingyuan Sect, Ziyang Prefecture, and even the entire Eastern Wasteland could clearly hear it.
At the top of Wangyue Cliff, the Elders stared blankly at the scene, their shock evident.
"Qingyuan has changed."
"Quickly go notify the Sect Master!"
