Chapter 611: Chapter 322: The Flame Parasol Tree and the Celestial Demon Phoenix_2

The phrase “gifted” made Song Chi and his companions’ hearts leap instantly.

Their backgrounds being what they were, they naturally had an understanding of the classification levels of genetic bloodlines of Starry Sea creatures.

Song Chi’s heartbeat also quickened. Clearly, this Heavenly Demon Phoenix Marrow was a resource similar to the Blood Bodhi produced by the Blood Bodhi Continent, and its effects were significantly more potent.

At most, Blood Bodhi could elevate a person’s genetic bloodline from standard to excellent. He had previously used it to raise his own bloodline value from the normal 20 to 31, barely entering the row of those with excellent Starry Sea bloodlines.

Furthermore, Song Chi was well aware that it was precisely because his genetic bloodline potential had been enhanced once that he was able to achieve his current degree of Comprehension in Space Law; otherwise, it would have been worse.

So, if what Lu Yuankong said was true, the allure of this Heavenly Demon Phoenix Marrow to him was self-evident.

...

He remembered in the Song family’s genetic bloodline chart.

5 to 30 were the range for ordinary Starry Sea creatures.

31 to 50 was considered excellent.

51 to 70 could be referred to as gifted in certain special aspects.

71 to 80 could claim to be high-level creatures and standout species of the Starry Sea.

81 to 90, creatures of this level are born of the Starry Sea and are called darlings of the Starry Sea, children of the Starry Sea.

Above 91, that is the synonym for all the pinnacle groups of the Starry Sea.

Now his gene lineage value was roughly at 31 points, just stepping into the excellent genetic bloodline of the Starry Sea. If he could use a dose of this Heavenly Demon Phoenix Marrow, he could raise his bloodline value from 31 to over 51, directly stepping into the level of the gifted. For all Torch Ship Captains, this was an irresistible temptation.

It’s known that the enhancement of one’s own genetic bloodline talent not only accelerates the speed of practicing the Guidance Technique but also provides corresponding benefits to the speed of Law Comprehension after grasping the Law, which has a tremendous impact.

Additionally, when a Third Rank creature breaks through to the Fourth Rank, isn’t there a period of rapid amplitude in the Law it has pre-comprehended? Song Chi had previously calculated that, with his current innate gift and compatibility in Space Law, this amplitude would be about tenfold.

He had made this calculation based on his genetic bloodline value of 31. However, if he could reach a value over 51 before breaking through to Fourth Rank, the tenfold amplitude would need to be recalculated.

Calculating again, with a genetic bloodline value of 51, his amplitude for breaking through to Fourth Rank in the future should be close to twentyfold.

Thinking of this, his heartbeat quickened even more.

Don’t look at it as just a tenfold increase, but when it’s applied to the Law Comprehension Degree, the time saved for the future would surely start from hundreds of years, and this is just at the moment of the Fourth Rank breakthrough. Subsequent stages, Fifth Rank, Sixth Rank, and even beyond Sixth Rank, this innate genetic talent would continue to be effective.

Once the fervor in his heart subsided a bit, Song Chi tentatively asked.

“Brother Yuankong, do you know if there are other Celestial Demon Phoenixes in this ‘Spirit Beast Secret Realm’?”

He had no intention of laying hands on this Half-Step Fifth Rank Celestial Demon Phoenix; after all, as the other party said, this Phoenix could only produce enough Phoenix Marrow to support the bloodline ascension of two people, which was obviously reserved for Lu Yuankong and Lu Chuan.

Moreover, even if used as leverage, he didn’t really have any capital to threaten with; after all, besides him, the other party’s four Cruisers had the combat power to hunt the Celestial Demon Phoenix. The Cangqiong had a Fifth-Rank Flame Giant, so how could the deeper-rooted Golden Horn Lu Clan not produce a Fifth-Rank Enslaved creature?

Lu Yuankong pondered for a moment before finally nodding at Song Chi.

With only a few months’ time, even if Song Chi started searching right away, it would be impossible to find traces of another Celestial Demon Phoenix in such a short period. After all, even within the entire Spirit Beast Secret Realm, the quantity of Celestial Demon Phoenixes was extremely limited.

The reason the uncle ancestor from his own family was able to pinpoint the locations of the various spirit beasts on their previous trip was because he had obtained the Secret Realm Cartography Map. He believed that Song Chi couldn’t possibly be that lucky.

Having received affirmation from the other party, Song Chi didn’t continue to press for details, but nodded in agreement to join the action against the Half-Step Fifth Rank Celestial Demon Phoenix.

Although the other party didn’t disclose the specific locations of other Celestial Demon Phoenixes, he only needed one piece of information to start with—the Spatial Anchor Point would give him plenty of time to continue the search later on.

The next day, after a discussion among the five individuals, the operation against the Half-Step Fifth Rank Celestial Demon Phoenix officially commenced.

Before the five warships made their appearance, the first to be activated was a Red Quality domain-type component on Lu Yuankong’s flagship. This component’s derived domain encompassed a radius of one hundred thousand meters, enveloping both the Flame Parasol Tree and the Celestial Demon Phoenix within it, greatly limiting the movement range of the Half-Step Fifth Rank Celestial Demon Phoenix. It also reduced the chance of being discovered by other high-rank spirit beasts in the secret realm.

Beyond this, the domain, worthy of being a Red Quality component, also had a certain degree of combat power reduction against designated enemy units and provided a 30% boost to the speed of the five friendly cruisers.

That wasn’t the full extent of the Lu siblings’ capabilities. Following the activation of this domain power, two enslaved creatures burst forth from the flagships of Lu Yuankong and Lu Chuan respectively.

One was a Half-Step Fifth Rank Fire-addicted Bird, and the other was a Fifth-Rank Level Two-headed Owl.

When the Li siblings from the other side saw these two fully-displayed enslaved creatures, they were somewhat numb. With the foundation of the wind-spirit Li family, the creatures they had enslaved were merely just entering Fourth Rank. And that was only because the family’s higher-ups had released some of the clan’s foundation before entering the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment to ensure their safety.

Inside the Cang Qiong, Song Chi’s eyes also narrowed slightly, thinking to himself, as expected. Even without his participation, the others did not appear to have much pressure dealing with the Half-Step Fifth Rank Celestial Demon Phoenix.

As he contemplated, the Two-headed Owl and the Fire-addicted Bird had already spread their wings, soaring one after another towards the distant Flame Parasol Tree.

Though they were also Exotic Beasts, they were not native to this fragment of the Immortal Realm Continent. Not only unable to benefit from the rules of the Floating Land Fragment, but their very life essence and utilization of the Power of Laws were also substantially suppressed. Even with two against one, it wasn’t a sure thing that they could capture the Half-Step Fifth Rank Celestial Demon Phoenix.

Of course, that referred to the Exotic Beasts acting on their own. But with the assistance from the five cruisers, the outcome was completely different.

Merely tens of minutes later, the battle was nearing its end. A Fifth Rank, a Fourth Rank plus five cruisers providing remote control and firepower support—there was no suspense in the battle. The fate of the Half-Step Fifth Rank Celestial Demon Phoenix had been sealed from the very beginning.

When the body of the Celestial Demon Phoenix was collected by Lu Yuankong into his flagship, one could clearly perceive the fleeting excitement and joy deep in their eyes.

Witnessing this scene, Song Chi was fairly certain, the earlier statement by Lu Yuankong was likely true—the Phoenix Marrow of the Celestial Demon Phoenix indeed had the effect of enhancing someone’s Genetic Bloodline Talent.

Having confirmed this, what the other four did not know was that Song Chi was equally elated in his heart.

Soon, Song Chi took the initiative to take his leave. In the eyes of the two from the Lu Family, this seemed as if he was too impatient to hunt for the Celestial Demon Phoenix himself. Lu Yuankong and the other didn’t stop him. A few months were not enough, and with the threat of Fifth Rank, Sixth Rank creatures in the vicinity, finding another Celestial Demon Phoenix was nothing but a fool’s dream.

Not long after the Cang Qiong left, the group of four also quickly headed towards other areas of the secret realm.

Though their main target this time was the Celestial Demon Phoenix, it didn’t mean that there were no other valuable Exotic Beasts in the Spirit Beast Secret Realm. Now that the Half-Step Fifth Rank Celestial Demon Phoenix had been secured, they were fully able to hunt for other rare Exotic Beasts.

As for the other Celestial Demon Phoenixes in the secret realm, they were to be left for the later generations of their lineage.

The Golden Horn Lu Clan was vast, large enough that even beneath the Sixth Rank old ancestors, there were still several factions. The relationship among these factions, though not as tense as the Eagle Family, was not so harmonious that they would share every piece of information—if that were the case, then not just the two of them would have come this time.
