Chapter 1372 - 701: Surprised Divine Phoenix, Someone Still Visits the Legend? (4K)_2

But she couldn't see through herself, which spoke volumes.

Could it be that all three of them were legends?

All young and juvenile legends?

Since when did Legendary Lives become so commonplace?

...

Nirvana Tower, highest floor.

Mu Yuan met this Divine Phoenix in her true form—well, still a 1.5-meter-tall girl.

Evidently, the Nirvana Divine Phoenix possessed some kind of transformation ability; she seemed to quite enjoy her human form. Otherwise, she wouldn't have established a 'semi-secluded' Secret Realm in the densely populated core area of the Great Domain.

The Divine Phoenix also had an adept understanding of human hospitality.

As soon as the two of them sat down, maids arrived with boiling water to brew tea. Their disciplined motions exhibited the finesse of master tea artisans.

The tea leaves appeared extraordinary, seemingly harvested from an Epic Treasure Tree.

Brewed with water from the Fountain of Life, the tea exuded a fragrant aroma that refreshed not just the body but even the God Soul.

The tea leaves clearly had the effect of enhancing the God Soul.

Though of no use to Mu Yuan, it showcased the high standards of the Divine Phoenix's hospitality.

'As expected of a complete-form Legendary Life, her wealth and heritage are truly impressive, leaving aside sheer power.'

Mu Yuan marveled.

What he didn't know was that not every visitor holding a token was entitled to the Divine Phoenix's hospitality.

As one of only two Legends worshiped by Tai Xuan, the Divine Phoenix naturally encountered Tai Xuan Strongmen who sought a meeting with her using their tokens. These individuals often only managed to see her briefly and exchange a few words, no more.

If they learned of Mu Yuan's treatment, they'd surely sigh...

No wonder he's the Lord of Tianyuan City!

"So then, why did you come here with the token? What's your purpose?"

The Divine Phoenix crossed her legs and asked.

Mu Yuan didn't answer directly; instead, he asked, "Your Excellency Phoenix Venerate, how much do you know about Dragon Sleep Valley and the Twilight King?"

Unexpectedly, upon mentioning this topic, the Divine Phoenix's Liu Mei sharply furrowed, and a tsunami of coercion swept forth instantly.

However, the coercion quickly subsided.

The Divine Phoenix realized she had lost composure and coughed lightly.

"The Twilight King and that old scoundrel the Red King? Of course I know them! I know them well!"

"I've dealt with many Saint Realm figures in Dragon Sleep Valley. Among those who fell by my hand, three were Saint Realm monsters. Of those three, hmph, one I erased completely—burning their God Soul and rank to annihilation!"

Despite her words, there wasn't much pride in the Divine Phoenix's tone.

Evidently, although the Nirvana Divine Phoenix vanquished and severely wounded many terrifying entities in Dragon Sleep Valley, she ultimately suffered losses too.

Most likely at the hands of the Twilight King and the Red King.

"Is the Twilight King truly that powerful?"

After all, the Phoenix Venerate was a complete-form Legend!

She was undoubtedly a Great Monarch Level existence, perhaps even stronger than Lapis herself right now.

Hearing Mu Yuan's question, the Divine Phoenix snorted, clearly disgruntled.

"Hmph! If not for the Twilight King and the Red King joining forces, along with several Saint Realm figures, to launch a joint assault, how could I have lost? Even so, I still retaliated and took down one Saint Realm! Hmph!"

"So that's how it went. I didn't expect that even in such perilous circumstances, Phoenix Venerate, you managed to break through and counter-kill a Saint Realm. Truly worthy of admiration."

Mu Yuan offered timely praise.

Sure enough, the Nirvana Divine Phoenix's expression softened, even a faint smile graced her lips, reminiscent of a cat being gently stroked.

Sophia added a thumbs-up in the "Lord Hero" channel.

"As expected of the Lord, immediately discerning that the Divine Phoenix is as simple-minded as a several-hundred-year-old child."

Mu Yuan: "..."

Was this even a compliment?

Sophia continued, "However, the Divine Phoenix seems to have sustained heavy injuries in that battle, injuries that remain unhealed to this day."

She had just noticed the Divine Phoenix's injured state.

Hearing this, Mu Yuan hesitated to push for the Divine Phoenix's involvement.

Yet upon learning that the Twilight King might step foot into the Ten Directions Island Domain, the Divine Phoenix's expression ignited with seething fury.

"The Twilight King dares leave Red Mist Land?"

"This old hag will make sure he never returns!"

Realizing her own injuries, however, the Divine Phoenix tempered her statement, "Your Tianyuan City still has a Saint Realm combat power, right? Let's coordinate with me then; together we'll ensure the Twilight King never returns!"

Mu Yuan: "..."

"Actually, you need only intervene slightly, to block one or two ordinary Saint Realm figures."

The Divine Phoenix frowned: "You think so little of me? I said I'll deal with the Twilight King!"

Mu Yuan: "..."

Sophia remarked in the channel, "As expected of the Lord—instantly provoking the Divine Phoenix's pride."

Mu Yuan: "..."

He really didn't mean to…

Forget it.

...

Convincing the Divine Phoenix proved easier than expected.

Of course, Mu Yuan wasn't a heartless Lord; to ensure the Divine Phoenix's assistance, he naturally prepared gifts in advance.

These gifts served as an advance payment.

More rewards would follow after the battle.

After Mu Yuan and his group departed, the Divine Phoenix snorted, "That interesting human boy. But, not just any gifts can catch my eye."

She would act not just out of courtesy to the Four Pillars, but also for her appreciation of the trio of legends.

Naturally, another contributing factor was her eagerness to crush the Twilight King and Red King into oblivion.

Gifts weren't necessary.

She was not one to be swayed by mere trinkets.

The Nirvana Divine Phoenix opened the gift box, and instantly, a sky full of violet light flashed. Inside the Quasi-Epic Treasure Bottle was a shimmering, life-filled Divine Water.

"This is… the Water of Life?"

The Divine Phoenix couldn't hide her astonishment.

After all, a single droplet of the "Droplet of Life" alone qualifies as an Epic Treasure, capable of instantly restoring a critically injured Legendary Realm figure and powerfully healing conceptual wounds.

Among the treasures she had used for healing, Droplets of Life were included.

Yet before her was an entire jar's worth...

"Young people these days are truly generous, aren't they?"

...

The Droplet of Life was a specialty of Tianyuan City.

As Nature Spirits advanced closer to the Legendary Realm, they found it relatively easy to produce such treasures.

In consideration of sustainable development, a Legendary Peak or Epic Two-Star Nature Spirit could produce one droplet every few days.

Of course, some supplemental nutrients were required mid-process.

The next day,

Mu Yuan traveled to the East Sea in the Da Xuan Domain, where he met the Myriad Tide Dragon Venerate hidden beneath the deep sea.

He also negotiated terms with the Dragon Venerate.

"When the great calamity arrives, having been worshipped by Tai Xuan for so long, it's natural that I'll take action."

"However, when I act will be determined by my own judgment."

Given his peer's equal ranking as a Legend, Myriad Tide Dragon Venerate elaborated, "I will only act when it is crucial to the alliance's outcome. Do not become fixated on gains or losses limited to one city or territory."

"After all, when I act, the Saint Realm Great Monarch Levels constantly watching me may cross realms to intervene."

The Myriad Tide Dragon Venerate also had his own sworn enemies.

Nevertheless, he indicated that he could intervene from a distance depending on the situation.

Indeed, he cared little for Tai Xuan's territorial losses or gains, even if half the alliance population perished.

However, he also discerned that Tianyuan City's geographical position was unique.

Dangerous...

Yet resembling a nail driven firmly into the forefront of Red Mist Land.

Tianyuan City's survival was integral to the Tai Xuan defensive line.

If the Tai Xuan defensive line crumbled, the alliance would face ruin, compelling his intervention. Acting earlier or later made no difference to him, so he might as well earn goodwill from these legends.

Myriad Tide Dragon Venerate further added, "Both the Divine Phoenix and I are relatively easygoing Legends. However, if you plan to seek those truly reclusive Legends next, you should be cautious; some ancient fellows have rather unsavory temperaments."

Taking his leave of the Dragon Venerate, Mu Yuan and Sophia headed to their third destination.

"The next location lies in the north-central region of the Twilight Dominion, within a perilous zone known as 'Ten Thousand Blades Canyon.'"

Riding aboard the Jun, Mu Yuan swiftly reached the area.

This was already the deep wilderness, a place rarely touched by human presence.

It bore little resemblance to the Nirvana Secret Realm or East Sea, where stories of Legends were circulated.

Here, there were no tales to tell.

Because the Legendary Life here was truly secluded.

Even Mu Yuan himself, prior to extensively reviewing detailed intelligence with Lin Guozhu, hadn't expected a complete-form Legend to be hidden here in the Twilight Dominion.

Jun descended gently, landing at the canyon's entrance.

Reports indicated that this perilous zone was cloaked in Legendary Power, making entry no simple feat.

However...

Sophia opened her Phantom Night Eyes and scanned the area with interest, commenting, "I've discovered some unusual traces. It seems someone entered Ten Thousand Blades Canyon not long ago. Perhaps their intentions align with ours."
