Chapter 2022 - 2023: The Powerful Lightning Bird

Really don't know how this Lightning Bird grew in such a short time.

Ling Zhenfei said, "What's going on, why is this Lightning Bird so powerful?"

Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Everything inside this Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map was created by the Star Lord, and all the species were carefully chosen, so naturally, none of them are ordinary.

The Lightning Bird cultivates here every day, fights the monsters here, eats the wild fruits here, and eats the wild beasts here; of course, it's not something common places can compare to."

Ling Zhenfei nodded as if he understood something.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Everything in here is changing, not static.

The mechanism the Star Lord designed has a balancing system, no wonder Ling Zhenfei always feels that the monsters here are getting stronger; it turns out to be because the Lightning Bird is getting stronger.

The Lightning Bird is too strong, surpassing the conventional strength designed by the Star Lord, so to accommodate this change, the whole Peach Blossom Secret Realm is undergoing subtle transformations.

Peach Blossom Fairy said, "This change has benefits, but also drawbacks. If the changes are too huge, I'm very worried it might trigger an Evil Day."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned after hearing this; indeed, he had witnessed an Evil Day before, the terror of which Ling Zhenfei finds hard to forget now.

That powerful Evil Dragon was simply too terrifying, even now Ling Zhenfei, at the peak of the Realm of Reaching Wisdom, doesn't dare to say no to that Evil Dragon.

For the Star Lord to use a dragon as the guardian of his space, it sufficiently shows the strength of the Star Lord, no need to say more about how powerful this Star Lord is.

If the Lightning Bird becomes too strong and really triggers an Evil Day, the Lightning Bird will be pitiful.

But now Ling Zhenfei absolutely cannot let the Lightning Bird go.

He's now at Xianling Mountain, and there are cultivators everywhere on this mountain.

These cultivators are just idle now; if the Lightning Bird appears, it might be mistaken as an animal from the Foreign Land Space and be directly killed by them.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I can't take the Lightning Bird away now, wait a few days, then I'll come to take the mountains and the bird away."

Peach Blossom Fairy said, "I am just reminding you because I don't know when the Evil Day will happen either."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, gently caressing the hardened feathers of the Lightning Bird, indeed feeling as if touching iron.

Ling Zhenfei once fought the Giant Eagle inside Xianling Mountain and touched the eagle's body, but never has any animal given Ling Zhenfei this sensation.

Initially, it felt soft to touch, but every feather seemed to have spiritual energy within; the moment this energy moved, it could instantly make these feathers harder than steel.

Peach Blossom Fairy made Ling Zhenfei a cup of tea, the teacup was brought by Ling Zhenfei, a transparent glass cup with floating peach blossom petals inside, looking very nice in color.

Ling Zhenfei said thank you, every time seeing Peach Blossom Fairy in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm always made Ling Zhenfei feel at ease.

Peach Blossom Fairy always gave Ling Zhenfei a very peaceful feeling, a sense of elegance and insight.

Anyone who lived for a thousand, even ten thousand years, what could they not understand?

Ling Zhenfei went on to inspect his Heart-Talk Fruit Tree, it was growing well, with the Heart-Talk Fruits lush and juicy.

Ling Zhenfei picked some Heart-Talk Fruits and cultivated under the tree for a while.

Returning to Peach Blossom Fairy's small courtyard, he saw Peach Blossom Fairy having a meal, now eating very simply.

A cup of Heart-Talk Fruit juice, one Peach Blossom Dumpling, and a few wild fruits, that's it.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Why eat so simply?"

Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Actually, it's completely enough for me, before I only ate one Peach Blossom Dumpling and drank a cup of tea.

Now, with Heart-Talk Fruits, every time I eat one Heart-Talk Fruit, it's enough, with ample spiritual energy, enough to sustain for a day."

Ling Zhenfei came to realize that previously Peach Blossom Fairy cooked for him.

At this moment, Peach Blossom Fairy suddenly remembered something and said, "Right, there's something else I haven't shown you."

After speaking, Peach Blossom Fairy ran into the room and quickly brought out a cup, placing it before Ling Zhenfei.

"Try this, it's wine I've brewed myself based on the Hundred Flowers Drunk you brought."

Ling Zhenfei picked up the wine cup and sniffed it, the wine had a very fragrant peach blossom aroma, likely made with flowers from the Secret Realm, but more peach blossoms were used, for they're plentiful here.

Ling Zhenfei took a sip, the taste was good, with a peach blossom flavor, slightly sweet, the alcohol not too strong yet warm.

As it was made using water with spiritual energy from the Heavenly Lake Secret Realm, this wine is rich in spiritual essence.

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's nice, has a unique flavor."

Peach Blossom Fairy said, "If you like it, take more, I've brewed a lot."

Ling Zhenfei was not polite, taking out many bottles from his Di Tian Shen Sui and filling them with wine.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Does this wine have a name?"

Peach Blossom Fairy shook her head, saying, "No name yet, how about you give it one?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then let's call it Peach Blossom Drunk."

Peach Blossom Fairy smiled, saying, "Alright, then it's called Peach Blossom Drunk."

Ling Zhenfei glanced at the time and said, "This time I just came to see you, it's about time, I must go."

Peach Blossom Fairy said, "I know you're going to a dangerous place, go ahead."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and descended towards the slopes.

To exit the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, one must cross that river.

Once, this small river was no challenge at all, but now it indeed pressures Ling Zhenfei quite a bit.

Last time Ling Zhenfei found monsters in the river using some kind of strategy, truly terrifying monsters.

Ling Zhenfei quickly reached the river's edge.

Last time, just as Ling Zhenfei was about to cross the river, he was suddenly attacked, this time he must be extremely cautious.

Dragon Tooth Dagger already in hand, ready for attack at any moment.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a while, not knowing how many monsters beneath the water have focused on him.

If Ling Zhenfei wants to get through here, who knows how many monsters will emerge from the water?

Thinking carefully, Ling Zhenfei decided to make some preparations.

Ling Zhenfei first soared into the air, then placed a layer of spiritual energy below him, covering a few meters beneath him, and moved towards the other side of the river.

The monsters in the river have been evolving, getting stronger each time; truly unknown what the current situation is.

At first, there was no problem, but just as he was about to reach the middle of the river, suddenly the water's surface moved, a powerful tentacle broke through the surface towards Ling Zhenfei.

That tentacle came from a monster similar to an octopus; the tentacle thrust directly towards Ling Zhenfei, surprisingly breaking through the layer of spiritual energy below Ling Zhenfei's feet.
