Chapter 571: Shooting an Arrow at the Yellow Spring
This phoenix, possessing Ancestor Blood, transformed into a human form.
Tall and slender, dressed in a red feather cloak.
Though not in a red dress, her visage was all too familiar.
In this era, strength is beauty, a solemn complexion is beauty.
Yet this woman, whose skin under the mask is as white as jade.
Her features are exquisite, her face elegant, her eyes full of indifference.
But as the Little White Ape emerged from Lin Yan's hand and called out "Mother"... she couldn't help but be stunned, a fleeting look of confusion in her eyes.
And the next phrase "Living mother," shattered her previously calm heart realm even more.
"What living mother? Do you have a dead mother too?"
The woman's brow furrowed slightly, her tone unkind, "Since I was aware of things, I dedicated myself to cultivation, never married, don't speak nonsense! Besides, I'm of the Human Clan, and have Phoenix Blood, how could I give birth to a monkey?"
In the next moment, her gaze fell on the wings behind the Little White Ape, and she froze.
This monkey has wings too?
"..."
Lin Yan's expression was complicated, he directly pressed the Little White Ape back, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "You resemble someone I once knew."
The woman was silent for a moment, then said, "You should return alive first."
As her voice fell, she transformed into a phoenix, spread her wings, and flew away from the Holy Land in an instant.
Lin Yan couldn't help but fall silent as well.
The Little White Ape whispered, "Oh no, the impression is bad, master just now seemed like he used a very lowly pick-up line! Though in this era, things are rather simple and straightforward... But my mother is clearly not an ordinary person, she must be knowledgeable, used to seeing those flattering and ingratiating sycophants..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Yan took a deep breath.
But couldn't help taking a glance outside again.
His emotions surged, hard to calm.
It turned out they knew each other back in the Red Nether Era.
So when he came in later ages, she took such great care of him, risking her life to save him multiple times.
Even in order to help him, she broke into the Netherworld to obtain the Human Clan's new magic method.
Until he faced the great tribulation of the Nine Heavens Responding Element Universal Transformation Celestial Venerable, that woman in red was still in the Netherworld, yet to escape.
"Phoenix Ancestor Blood..."
Lin Yan slightly closed his eyes, sensing the parasol tree branch.
He also roughly understood why in later ages, the Wutong Divine Mother had such a complex view of him.
——
Outside the Holy Land.
Previously, many Gods and Demons, Evil beings, fled along the way.
Slaughtering each other en route.
In the end, only a few Gods and Demons who broke through the Upper Three Heavens, along with over ten alien races who broke through the Middle Three Heavens, escaped from here.
And by the time Shangguan Shang arrived, those Gods and Demons, Evil beings did not start a battle but chose to avoid and flee far away.
At present, with other Human Clan martial artists, relocating those children.
The woman in red using mana could only take a batch with her.
After all, she was Phoenix Ancestor Blood, her Flame Power extremely potent, unable to exert fully to carry people away.
Only within a controllable range, suppress her mana, restrain the Divine Fire, and take a small batch of people.
But at this moment, her emotions were also unsettled.
"A White Ape with wings?"
"Why did it call me mother?"
"That person said I look like someone he once knew?"
"Is there such a coincidence in this world?"
She looked complicated, filled with doubts, and silently thought, "Such a powerful person capable of slaying Divine Spirits wouldn't lie to me... He..."
"Impossible!"
The next moment, her emotions suddenly settled, and her gaze turned cold.
By her side was her ninth sister.
Whom she had completely drained of Phoenix Blood.
Deprived of the Bloodline Power brought by the Phoenix Blood.
Falling to the level of the Refining God Realm.
"Sister..."
The ninth sister showed a strange expression, and whispered, "How much longer do you have left?"
The woman in red was silent for a moment, then said, "Day and night follow each other, the seasons change... Probably within a year, maybe just one season."
A year comprises four seasons.
If lucky, she could endure all four seasons, maintaining her true self.
If luck runs out, within three months, she would lose herself, becoming a true phoenix ever after.
More importantly, since the great tribulation of yore, all Gods and Demons' bloodlines contain a strange aura.
All divine beings, either perished in the great tribulation, turned into Evil Gods, or... retreated from the world!
She was not a True God, without the ability to hide from the world!
And even True Gods, if not hiding from the world, find it hard to maintain their true selves in this era!
For her, three months is long enough.
"Li Jiu just told me..."
The ninth sister whispered, "That powerful individual of the Human Clan, possesses a magic method that never loses control, a genuine cultivation method for the Human Clan!"
The woman in red shook her head slightly, saying, "There has never been such a magic method in the world, no matter how powerful the Immortal Gods, those who claim emperorship among Immortal Gods, either fall to strangeness, perish, become corrupt or hide from the world..."
Saying this, she looked dim, "Moreover, a true Human Clan cultivation method, from today onwards, is no longer my path."
"Perhaps that great one has a way, he is one who can slay Divine Spirits."
The ninth sister hurriedly said, "You saw it too, the strange aura of the Jiujiang Dragon God had no effect on him at all, he possesses miraculous powers that even Heavenly Gods lack!"
"We fight for the Human Clan, and so does he."
"Even though he has grown strong enough to surpass Divine Spirits, he still remembers being born human, remembers the blessings of his ancestors, having not fallen into Gods and Demons."
"As part of the Human Clan, he would surely be willing to help us, sister..."
Her voice hadn't fallen, becoming faint.
The woman in red gently patted her head, sighing, "Someone of his kind who can be devoted to the Human Clan is incredibly rare, he bears the great trend of the Human Clan, how could he expend his energy on us?"
