Chapter 1263: Fire Source

Soon, Ou Yangming and Lil’ Red fell into the bottom of the abyss.

On the flat ground, the most obvious thing was a ball-shaped flame. It looked harmless, but Ou Yangming felt a sense of danger from it.

This thing was also very lethal to a third-step powerhouse. The vermilion bird was afraid of this thing, so it did not dare to come here.

Ou Yangming did not provoke it. He looked around and suddenly ran toward a place. There was a cave under the abyss. In the cave, 2 familiar figures appeared in his sight.

“King Kong, Goshawk!” Ou Yangming called out softly.

The 2 figures inside did not move. Ou Yangming ran over quickly.

King Kong and the goshawk looked weak. Their souls were almost swallowed by the heat of the abyss. They were on the verge of death.

Ou Yangming hurriedly took out a few healing pills from his interspatial ring and stuffed them into their mouths. These pills could not heal their injuries at the moment, but they could ensure that their souls would not disperse and allow them to hold on for a while longer as long as they were alive. It was good that the young fellow had inherited the Mystic Sky Sect’s Truth of Alchemy. As long as their souls were still alive, he was confident that he could resurrect them.

Weak lights shone on them. This light originated from a light blue bead. At this moment, this bead seemed to have reached its limit and was going to crack at any moment.

“This is a Fire-repelling Bead.” Lil’ Red walked over from behind and said with surprise.

The Fire-repelling Bead was a treasure of the Phoenixes. Only top-level elders would possess one. It was rare for an ordinary person to see it. Who would have thought that it would appear beside King Kong and the goshawk? It was also this Fire-repelling Bead that saved their lives. Otherwise, they would have been turned into dust by the flames during the process of falling.

“Lil’ Ming, quick! This Fire-repelling Bead can’t take it anymore!” Lil’ Red cried out in alarm.

Ou Yangming did not hesitate. He instantly put the king kong and the goshawk into the poisonous pill’s world. The light blue pearl instantly exploded and turned into dust.

“Let’s go back.” Ou Yangming turned around and looked at Lil’ Red.

Although the king kong and the goshawk seemed to have been saved, they were still in danger. Half of their souls and spirits were gone. It was a miracle that they could survive in such a state.

Ou Yangming and Lil’ Red left the same way they came. When they passed by the red ball of flame again, the young fellow suddenly became alert. The flame actually floated toward them.

Unlike the vermilion bird, this thing had no soul and no vitality.

“Suppress!” Ou Yangming stretched out his hand and slapped it.

The flame looked very weak. Under Ou Yangming’s aura, it kept jumping, but it still stubbornly floated toward them. Even the young fellow did not dare to touch it casually.

“What’s this thing?” Ou Yangming was shocked. The Reincarnation Spear appeared in his hand.

“Lil’ Ming, don’t. I feel that it doesn’t have any ill intentions.” Lil’ Red saw Ou Yangming take out the spear and hurriedly said.

Ou Yangming frowned slightly. He carefully looked at the small flame. In the end, he dodged to the side while Lil’ Red walked in the direction of the flame.

“Be careful!”Ou Yangming could not help but remind him.

He did not know what kind of flame it was, but it was very fierce. He silently released a bit of the power of the law of space, preparing to save Lil’ Red at any time.

“I feel that it won’t hurt me…” Lil’ Red flapped his wings and flew beside the flame. His body was sometimes high and sometimes low as if he was dancing with the flame.

The nervousness in Ou Yangming’s heart gradually disappeared.

It seemed that Lil’ Red was right. This flame did not have any malicious intent toward him.

Lil’ Red and the flame seemed to be communicating with each other. After a moment, the flame flew to his side and slowly merged into his body.

Looking at Lil’ Red who was unharmed, Ou Yangming finally let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the little red bird had obtained some kind of opportunity.

After merging with the flame, the aura in Lil’ Red’s body gradually rose, and his power of the law also increased bit by bit. After about 15 minutes, he directly broke through to the second step of the law. This kind of breakthrough was effortless and easy, and it was unheard of.

A flame bloomed on Lil’ Red’s body, and the color of the flame turned purple.

It was the purple Phoenix Fire, which was the king of flames. Lil’ Red’s body gave off the domineering aura of a king.

‘This inheritance must be incredible.’ Ou Yangming’s gaze was still focused on Lil’ Red.

After a while, the flame on Lil’ Red’s body gradually disappeared. He opened his eyes, and there was a pleasantly surprised look in his eyes.

“How is it?” Ou Yangming asked.

Lil’ Red said in pleasant surprise, “I feel so comfortable! I actually got the approval of a senior from the Phoenixes. He gave me his natal fire source and even taught me some magical abilities?”

“A senior of the Phoenixes?” Ou Yangming looked at Lil’ Red in surprise. He originally thought that it was just an inanimate object, but he did not expect that there was really something else hidden in it.

Even he could not sense it. ‘Could that senior be…’

Ou Yangming’s gaze carried a look of shock.

Lil’ Red did not hide it. He excitedly said, “That senior is the Phoenixes’ only almighty powerhouse in the Heavenly Rank. That vermilion bird was captured by him.”

The Heavenly Rank. It turned out that the Phoenixes once had a powerhouse equal to heaven.

Seeing how excited Lil’ Red was, Ou Yangming said with a smile, “Congratulations.”

This trip had been worth it for Lil’ Red.

No one would have thought that the phoenix senior in the Heavenly Rank would actually leave his fire source inheritance here. This was a forbidden area for the Phoenixes. Furthermore, there were fierce creatures like the vermilion bird guarding it. As a result, for countless years, not a single phoenix powerhouse had entered.

“Let’s go up,” Ou Yangming said in a deep voice.

“Okay.” Lil’ Red nodded.

The man and the phoenix flew toward the sky. Soon, they left the Flaming Abyss.

Many phoenix powerhouses were outside the forbidden area. This included the Phoenixes’ great ancestor. When they saw Ou Yangming and Lil’ Red walk out, they were not surprised.

“As expected, that forbidden area can’t stop Ou Yangming.”

The great ancestor walked out and said to Ou Yangming, “Brother Ou, it’s my fault for not teaching my people well and letting Feng Xinxiao hurt your companions. We’re willing to compensate you in any way.”

“Lord Ou, please forgive us,” Feng Mu, Feng Yu, Feng Jiang, and the other phoenix elders lowered their heads and said in unison.

They had no choice but to lower their heads. Ou Yangming’s strength had exceeded the limits of the Phoenixes. Moreover, his potential also made the great ancestor feel terrified. If they did not resolve this matter clearly, after a few years, the young fellow would become a mighty figure equal to heaven. Would there still be a way for the Phoenixes to survive in this Great Wide World?

The answer was no. A race that did not have a powerhouse in the Heavenly Rank would not be able to withstand the wrath of such a powerhouse.

Feng Xiang slowly walked out from the crowd.

His aura was weak, and there were traces of blood on his body. He walked over, knelt down with a bang, and pulled out a thorn strip from his back. He said, “Brother Ou, what happened the last time in the heart of origins was my fault. I shouldn’t have left the headquarters, which caused Feng Tian to stop the opening of the passage. This time, I didn’t fulfill my obligation to take good care of King Kong and the goshawk. This is all my fault. Please punish me. I, Feng Xiang, won’t frown no matter if I’m dead or alive.”

“Elder Brother Feng Xiang.” Lil’ Red looked troubled as he looked at Feng Xiang. He looked at Feng Xiang and Ou Yangming at the same time, feeling very conflicted.

Ou Yangming picked up the thorn strip while Feng Xiang prepared himself.

This thorn strip was a kind of magic weapon that was especially used to punish people who committed heinous crimes. If one was hit, not only would there be bone-piercing pain but even one’s soul would die bit by bit.

Looking at Ou Yangming, everyone became nervous.

Ou Yangming did not hit Feng Xiang. Instead, he threw the thorn to the side. He said, “Forget it. I already know the whole story. This matter has nothing to do with you. Besides, King Kong and Goshawk didn’t die. This time, I’ll forgive the Phoenixes.” He helped Feng Xiang up.

Feng Tian and his son’s shenanigans really had nothing to do with Feng Xiang. He did not know anything about it. Furthermore, Feng Xiang had saved Ou Yangming in the Spiritual Realm. No matter how heartless the young fellow was, he could not blame the senior.

This matter had nothing to do with Feng Xiang, but it did not mean that it had nothing to do with other people.

Ou Yangming looked at the great ancestor of the Phoenixes. As a powerhouse in the third step on the 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain, nothing about the Phoenixes could escape his eyes. The great ancestor was not behind any of this, but he could not escape the crime of indulgence.

Despite that, he was an experienced powerhouse in the third step. With Ou Yangming’s strength at the moment, even if he could defeat the great ancestor, it would be impossible to kill him.

Now that the king kong and the goshawk were fine, the great ancestor did not deserve to die. Ou Yangming said in a deep voice, “Feng Xinxiao and Feng Tian are dead, but their accomplices mustn’t be let off. Also…”

Ou Yangming mentioned a few rare spiritual herbs and asked the great ancestor to prepare them.

“Thank you, Brother Ou. I’ll prepare the spiritual herbs for you now.” The Phoenixes’ great ancestor felt goosebumps all over his body when Ou Yangming looked at him. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the young fellow’s words.

The Phoenixes were one of the 3 great races in the Great Wide World. Their treasury might not be as large as the Dragons’, but it was certainly beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

With that, the great ancestor left in a hurry. The others also let out a long sigh. They were all glad that Ou Yangming’s companions were still alive.

The Phoenixes acted quickly. The great ancestor ordered that those who were close to Feng Tian and Feng Xiang and had persecuted the king kong and the goshawk to be arrested. The great ancestor also quickly found all the spiritual herbs and sent them over to Ou Yangming.

“You can leave now. Don’t come and disturb me.” Ou Yangming had asked the Phoenixes to prepare a courtyard for him, and he went in alone.

The others were all outside, and even Lil’ Red did not follow Ou Yangming in. He knew that the young fellow was planning to refine pills. Since it was related to the lives of King Kong and the goshawk, Lil’ Red did not dare to be careless.

After the door closed, everyone withdrew their gazes. Suddenly, the great ancestor of the Phoenixes noticed Lil’ Red. With a surprised look on his face, he asked, “Feng Lin, you’ve broken through to the second stage?”

The great ancestor was busy with Ou Yangming’s instructions just now, so he had not noticed Lil’ Red. Now, he realized that the little red bird, who was still in the growth stage, had broken through to the second step!

Following the words of the great ancestor, everyone’s eyes focused on Lil’ Red.

“Really? Feng Lin, you’ve broken through to the second step?” Feng Xiang asked with a trembling voice.

“Yes, yes.” Lil’ Red nodded. “It’s all thanks to Lil’ Ming.”
