Chapter 1215: Can’t Change Old Habits

From start to finish, Phoenix Goddess walked quietly without any emotional fluctuation. She didn’t seem to mind being exposed to his heavenly gaze.

Her flawless figure was nothing more than a bag of skin in her eyes. This was a mental state similar to “Void” of Buddhism.

“I was reborn in the pool of rebirth, maintaining my life jewel from the previous lives. I had eighty-one phoenix bones at birth and it took five hundred years to reach this point, but you, a half-demon, have 225 bones before fifty years. I should be the one shocked.” She had a red glow in the shape of a phoenix tail on her forehead, making her look more divine.

Despite her comment, Feiyun knew each bone later became harder. The difference between them was not just double.

“I’ve heard that you’re a big shot from Time Immemorial who left a life jewel in the pond. Do you have any memories regarding Time Immemorial?” Feiyun asked.

She stopped and said: “I am me, there is no distinction between the previous and current life.”

“Rumble!” Suddenly, a tall boulder rolled on the ground in the direction of the duo.

Feiyun used a Buddhist seal to send it flying. It had enough force to crush a meteor but not this boulder.

“A boulder demon?” Feiyun summoned two cauldrons and finally crushed the boulder into two pieces.

It let out a scream and disappeared into the fire nearby.

“Not a boulder demon.” The goddess gathered power into her fingers and formed a sword, slashing forward.

“Whoosh!” A strange cry could be heard afterward.

The duo ran over and saw a golden shell hiding inside the boulder. It had ancient runes of the water affinity.

“Even a shell can reach the pseudo level.” Mao Laoshi said.

“It’s a seven-star shell, I wonder how many fire pearls will be found inside.” Feiyun said.

The goddess gracefully picked the shell up. Her movement resembled a dancing immortal, causing Feiyun to fantasize again.

‘Seems like I’m having a hard time restraining my lust since it’s been so long. Will go out of control soon.’ He chanted his Golden Silkworm Scripture and looked away.

“This shell must be from a river nearby and came here after reaching the pseudo level. It’s the lord of this place.” She said.

“There must be more frightening creatures in that river, that’s why it ran here despite the opposite affinity.” Feiyun said.

She cut the shell open and there was a three-thousand-mile world inside. Three shiny stars brimmed with power could be found.

“This seven-star shell is rather old, around three kalpas hence three pearls. They can get up to seven, hence the name.” She said.

This was a top treasure, versatile and priceless. She gave him the shell before activating a formation.

The two sat down and began refining the fire essences contained within. After one day and one night, she opened her eyes first, having fully absorbed the three pearls and having a total of 461 bones.

He opened his eyes afterward, now having 164 beast souls at the pseudo level. They had an impressive aura with fierce gazes. Feiyun’s cultivation improved considerably.

“This place is dangerous to others but a holy ground for us.” She said.

Her divine aura prevented others from having dirty thoughts, but Feiyun was overwhelmed with bestial desires.

He looked away and gritted his teeth: “I’m facing a bottleneck, it’s hard for me to control the beast souls.”

“How many saint laws do you have?” She asked.

“One.” He responded.

“That’s the issue, they have 164 dao laws while you only have one. It’s actually amazing because in history, phoenixes cultivating this physique have a 1:100 ratio. You are far beyond the norm.” She said.

Feiyun could tell that he lacked the foundation to control all these beast souls. Of course, this wasn’t his limit yet.

“I feel like I can do up to three hundred, so this is not a true bottleneck yet. Given the treasures here, it would be regrettable if I can’t improve due to my weak cultivation.” He said.

“Then you have to learn more saint dao, which ones are you doing right now?” She asked.

He could tell she had no malice against him. In fact, he had a good impression of her; it could also be his uncontrollable lust.

“Saint Nuwa, Lotus, Di Zhong, Phoenix Servant, Flute Saint.” He answered honestly.

“That’s too many from different races. Quantity doesn’t matter here, hence your slow speed. You should pick one as your model, just learning a tiny bit of this saint’s dao is enough to make you unbeatable beneath the saint realm.” She said.

She was rumored to be a cultivator from Time Immemorial, hence her knowledge of the dao. He wasn’t foolish and prideful enough to not listen to her advice.
