A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Exiles (9)

Black Feather Cliff, after a one and a half year journey, Green and the Colorful Rooster finally arrived.

"Back then, after escaping from the Beastfighting Arena, I was saved by Lord Black Phoenix, and I didn’t leave Black Feather Cliff until twelve hundred years ago. Lord Black Phoenix has exceptionally high prestige among the exiles as a core force in resisting the Abyssal Dragons, interacting with many Stigma Sorcerers of this world."

The Colorful Rooster introduced its friend from that far-off desert, atop the jagged black cliff, to Green.

At this moment, the Colorful Rooster couldn’t help but think back to a few months ago, when Green transformed into a ferocious Barbarian Giant after obtaining the jade fruit and swallowed the giant fruit whole, making its eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

With the nourishment of the jade fruit, Green’s wild transformation scale defense had substantially strengthened, a fact that the Colorful Rooster could perceive directly.

This guy’s terrifying power as a Barbarian Giant might not be any less than Lord Black Phoenix.

"Caw caw caw caw, Black Phoenix?"

Upon hearing the term Black Phoenix, Xiao Ba’s spirits lifted.

"There are no Phoenixes in the Wizard World. In ancient times, to resist the invasion of the Abyssal World, a One Ring True Spirit Wizard summoned the Blazing Phoenix and the Ice Crystal Phoenix, two Endless Dominators, from a powerful world in a distant Foreign Domain to descend upon the Wizard World. Later, the Ice Crystal Phoenix fell in the final battle to eradicate the Nether Abyss Formless Ancient Demon. It seems this Black Phoenix is likely a descendant of the Abyss imbued with the Ice Phoenix’s blood, how interesting, caw caw caw caw..."

Xiao Ba, indeed, knew quite a bit about these major historical events of the ancient civilization war.

As for the Colorful Rooster, who knew nothing about the history of the Wizard World, it naturally didn’t understand, but Green noted everything with keen interest.

The One Ring True Spirit Wizard actually summoned the Blazing Phoenix and Ice Crystal Phoenix, two Endless Dominators, from a powerful distant world, allowing the Elemental Wizards to remain dominant in the Wizard World thanks to a formidable True Spirit Wizard who established the Elemental Wizards. It certainly has its unparalleled aspects.

"Please introduce us when the time comes."

As he spoke, Green silently handed over the benefits he had prepared beforehand to the Colorful Rooster, whose eyes lit up with satisfaction as it took them.

...

The abyssal-style grand majestic hall, with its dark and bloodthirsty shades of black and red.

On the throne of the hall, a black Phoenix, shrunken to about two meters, looked with surprise at the Colorful Rooster and Green, exuding elegance. Its dark feathers were extremely smooth, emitting rounds of spatial fluctuations, and this Black Phoenix also had the ability to break the boundaries of relative space.

"Oh? Seven Locks, you actually had the time to come back and see me, hehehe, and this is..."

In the hall, apart from Black Phoenix, there were two other guests.

One of them was the Cyclopean Giant, three meters tall, with a large single eye on his face, savoring the eyeballs of unknown creatures, skewered on a toothpick, and putting them into its own eye to taste.

The other creature was a half-meter-tall being, resembling a small radish, sitting upon the shoulders of a ten-meter-tall, lush and green tree monster, looking curiously at the Colorful Rooster and Green, its gaze finally falling on Xiao Ba, proudly standing on Green’s shoulder.

The Colorful Rooster placed its gift down, and after a spatial ripple, it disappeared.

The Colorful Rooster smiled and said, "Lord Black Phoenix, this His Excellency the Shadow of Despair has come to hear of your renowned name and wishes to engage in some trade with you. After not seeing you in a while, I naturally had to come to visit along."

Just as the Colorful Rooster was introducing, a great flock of black pigeons flew in, carrying two wooden tables.

The two wooden tables each held different abyssal delicacies, arranged according to the taste preferences of the human wizard and the Colorful Rooster.

Green smiled appropriately and said, "I’ve long heard of Lord Black Phoenix’s extensive connections; it’s rather rude of me to visit uninvited, but I hope Lord Black Phoenix will understand."

"Hehehehe, come, let me introduce you. This is the Abyss Cyclops Giant King. Seven Locks is not very familiar, but as His Excellency the Shadow of Despair, the Elemental Wizard, you should be all too familiar, right?"

Hmm!?

This Black Phoenix saw through Green’s identity as an Elemental Wizard at a glance, meaning it sensed Green’s state of magic backlash?

As for the Cyclops Giant King, Troll’s Blood is a common material for breaking curses during the wizard apprentice stage. Any Elemental Wizard would not be unfamiliar with giants, tracing back to the ancient wizards attempting to use Curse Witchcraft to defeat the countless abyssal servants controlled by the Nameless Ancient Demon.

Green lifted his glass, performing Wizards’ Etiquette towards the Cyclops Giant.

"As for this one, it’s a guest from the Parasol Tree Fairy World, though it’s only a projection of will, it’s been a close friend of mine for many years."

The Parasol Tree Fairy and Xiao Ba gazed silently at each other, while the giant tree beneath it continued to sweep the delicious dishes, making "gurgling" sounds.

"Damn it, what are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a magnificent Steel Badge Myna like your Master Eight before?"

Xiao Ba squawked, humming loudly.

"No, no, no, I was just astonished at the symbiotic relationship you have with this wizard, hahaha, Black Phoenix, since you have guests here, let’s meet up some other time."

As he spoke, the Parasol Tree Fairy patted the thick, dumb tree beneath him, and its body gradually faded away.

"Black Phoenix, then it’s settled. I will not disturb you anymore."

With this, the Abyss Cyclops Giant skewered the last eyeball in his enormous glass, chewing it, and his body turned into a mist, disappearing the same way.

The authoritative Black Phoenix looked at the Colorful Rooster and Green with a smile, saying, "No need to mind, hahaha, let’s continue..."

...

Three days later.

The Colorful Rooster departed, and Green and Black Phoenix sat facing each other.

Crash, crash, crash, the hall slightly trembled, and the elegant Black Phoenix nonchalantly said, "On the Abyssal surface, you get used to it over time. Earthquakes like these happen frequently, and you’d actually find it hard to sleep if they didn’t occur every few days."

The Black Phoenix threw the one thousand giant Sorcerer’s Essence Spheres Green had given him high into the air, entertained, saying, "Regarding the matter of the Ancient Demon Servants attempting to locate the Formless Ancient Demon relics, it’s almost not a secret on the Abyssal surface. Those disgusting creatures have fragments of ancient demonic will flowing in their bodies, serving the Formless Ancient Demon is their instinct. However, the reward you’ve paid can only allow me to tell you some less certain information about small clusters of Ancient Demon Servants."

Green stared at Black Phoenix’s expectant look, thought for a moment, then produced an Ice Gyro in his hand.

"This is a consumable made by a World Master using soul vitality and cold power, it should be somewhat helpful to you."

Sure enough, the appearance of the Ice Gyro intrigued Black Phoenix, and he played with it constantly, growing increasingly attached to it.

"Great, great, great, it’s a wonderful item."

After a flash in his hand and the Ice Gyro vanished, Black Phoenix tossed a beast hide map to Green.

"According to reliable information, an ancient demon sealing relic has indeed been discovered here, with a large number of Ancient Demon Servants gathering. However, compared to the ancient demon sealing relic, this never-before-seen Stigmata Relic is our real target."

After receiving the map, Black Phoenix’s face held a playful smile as he said, "The Parasol Tree Fairy does not want to rashly descend upon the Wizard World, so you might as well take its place and join me and the Cyclops Giant in this expedition. It might be a great discovery, with numerous prominent forces gathering on the Abyssal surface. When the time comes, any gains will rely on yourself, we depart in ten years!"

Green’s eyes narrowed slightly, unexpectedly finding himself part of a large expedition of exiles on the Abyssal surface. (To be continued.
