Chapter 1370 - 1369: Phoenix Forbidden Zone, Black Phoenix

Zhang Bin stood before the treasure pagoda-shaped heavenly treasure, scrutinizing it carefully, then flew up to the second layer's tower door.

He suddenly spewed out a blaze of scorching green flames from his mouth.

It sprayed onto the tower door.

Yes, to enter the second layer, one must display cultivated flames.

Only green flames will open the door.

This heavenly treasure's four-layered tower, four forbidden zones.

Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone, Phoenix Forbidden Zone, Peacock Forbidden Zone, Heavenly Horse Forbidden Zone, each suitable for Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Integration Realm, Ascension Realm cultivators to explore, though an Ascension Realm cultivator can also seek treasure in the Dragon Blood, Phoenix, and Peacock Forbidden Zones. However, for such experts, the treasures in lower-level forbidden zones may not greatly benefit their cultivation.

Due to the terrifying bone dragons, the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone is very special; any powerful cultivator entering will trigger the bone dragon's attack. So, even exceeding the Golden Core Realm, not even You Jiuxuan dares to enter.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

The green flames scorched the door, producing strange sounds.

Finally, the door opened silently.

Moreover, it emitted a massive devouring force upon Zhang Bin.

In an instant, Zhang Bin was swallowed inside.

And the door closed silently as well.

Inside was a very vast world.

The temperature was not as high as Zhang Bin imagined; in fact, some places even had green plants and heavenly earth elixirs.

However, in the sky, there were numerous flames of varying sizes floating.

They were like ghostly flames.

Drifting leisurely, yet sometimes speeding up suddenly like meteors streaking across the sky.

Drawing out irregular trajectories.

Space was distorting.

The sense of danger was especially intense.

Zhang Bin also noticed that these flames were of various colors.

White, red, yellow, green, blue-coloured, and purple.

Of course, blue-coloured and purple flames were quite rare.

And they were very fast, vanishing towards the horizon in a single flash.

Not even a shadow could be seen.

"Oh my god, there are even purple flames? How is that possible?"

Zhang Bin was full of surprise.

Even Green Fire is already considered a low-level immortal flame. Purple Fire is considered a very high-level immortal flame.

In a mere mundane realm, a single heavenly treasure contains purple immortal flames?

Earth, such a planet, has bred so many ancient civilizations, produced so many geniuses and titans who have ascended to the Immortal Realm.

Also, there is such a heavenly treasure conceivably constrained by a titan possibly from the Immortal Realm that nurtures purple immortal flames?

Moreover, even Long Yu fled to Earth riding his tomb.

What secret does Earth hold?

Indeed, Zhang Bin surmised, Long Yu was defeated by a titan of the same level and bound in some special place within the Mundane Realm.

For example, a deserted planet with no spiritual energy.

However, Long Yu drove the tomb away, escaping to Earth.

Of course, this is merely a hypothesis.

Whether it is true will only be known through future verification.

However, Earth is certainly different from ordinary planets.

Even a supergiant planet like Xuanwu Star has no ancient civilization.

At least, the Xuanwu Star People themselves have not found evidence of any ancient civilization.

Therefore, Xuanwu Star's history of cultivation is far inferior to Earth's.

"Basketball, come out."

Zhang Bin shouted inwardly.

"Swish..."

The basketball flew out of Zhang Bin's mouth, transforming into a solid ball, identical in shape to a basketball. Only the color was different.

It also conjured two arms, coquettishly hugging Zhang Bin's neck, dangling itself from Zhang Bin's chest.

"Basketball, I have come to your homeland now, tell me, what are the dangers here?"

Zhang Bin did not rashly begin treasure hunting but instead asked the basketball. He would never forget his first entry into the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone and the terrifying scene of being chased by a bone dragon.

"Danger?" the basketball replied in surprise, "Master, there is no danger here; I feel very comfortable."

"Idiot, of course it's not dangerous for you. I meant the danger for us humans." Zhang Bin knocked on the basketball unhappily.

"Ow, it hurts, Master, don't knock on my head, that'll make me dumb," the basketball said, "Actually, even for me, it's dangerous here. Because there is a terrifying monster that's always hunting and devouring fire spirits, and this monster is a Black Phoenix."

"What? A Black Phoenix devours and refines fire spirits? What kind of monster is that? Is it a creature?"

Zhang Bin's face was filled with a deep sense of surprise and doubt.

But his eyes were already emitting a burning light.

Because from this one sentence of the basketball, it could be understood that at least two types of treasures exist in the Phoenix Forbidden Zone: one is fire spirits, and the other is the Black Phoenix.

No matter which kind, they are worth a fortune.

Because any spirit can be used for Foundation Establishment.

Very suitable for a mundane realm's cultivation genius to establish a foundation.

After all, a mundane realm genius is nothing compared to a genius in the Immortal Realm.

Their foundation establishment using very common treasures is already sufficient.

And once they establish a foundation, after ascending to the Immortal Realm, they would not be considered the weakest.

They would certainly fare much better.

Of course, a cultivation genius like Zhang Bin is an exception.

And that Earth can nurture a cultivation genius like Zhang Bin might also hold a special secret.

"I also don't know what kind of monster it is. It doesn't seem to be a creature; it seems to be composed of soul energy, but it's terrifying. It specifically eats flames, especially liking fire spirits," the basketball said, "Luckily, it sleeps most of the time, so spirits haven't gone extinct and can continue to proliferate through generations."

Zhang Bin had long asked the basketball about who originally nourished the fire spirits.

But due to the vast passing of time.

And since the basketball itself is only a hundred thousand years old, it naturally knows nothing.

"Composed of soul energy?"

Zhang Bin was stunned, but excitement and thrill appeared on his face because that Black Phoenix is undoubtedly a super good treasure.

After all, any soul energy, including sentient living ghosts, fears flames.

But that soul energy isn't afraid of flames and even devours flames? Even eating fire spirits?

This is too astounding.

It's likely the remnant soul energy of a True Phoenix fallen, instinctively absorbing and refining flames.

It's known that Hou Yi once shot down nine suns, which were nine True Phoenixes.

Most of them were eggs, not fully incubated.

One egg was even eaten by Feng Xiangjia and couldn't suppress the fire energy inside, rapidly consuming its lifespan, soon to explode.

Could one of the True Phoenixes have cultivated into a young phoenix? Killed by Hou Yi, yet its soul energy did not disperse, fleeing into here, coalescing into a Black Phoenix?
