Chapter 472: Sparrows leave the mountain, Phoenix Nirvana [ask for monthly ticket]
After listening to Feng Nangong's chatter, Yuan Kong didn't feel any sympathy in his heart, but instead wanted to punch him.
This prodigal son really doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings he has.
Yuan Kong was envious and jealous, and secretly resented his poor reincarnation skills. He recited the Heart Sutra twice in a row before he calmed down and wanted to hit someone. He quickly walked out of the cave.
The thunder from the sky was getting louder and louder, as if it was going to split the heaven and earth apart. This kind of scene didn't seem like the thunder produced naturally by the heaven and earth, but more like... a calamity.
"Who would survive the tribulation in the East China Sea? It's amazing. We have to go over there and take a look."
Yuan Kong's eyes showed a fanaticism. No matter if they were cultivators or demons, they had to reach a certain level of cultivation before they would be struck by thunder. With his level of cultivation, there was no chance for him to survive the thunder.
The thunder tribulation is not just ordinary thunder, but it contains the rhythm of thunder. If you are lucky enough to observe it up close, you may gain some insights. Therefore, whenever a great man is going through a tribulation, there will always be other cultivators watching.
Feng Nangong blinked and didn't react for a long while;
"Are you crazy? With such great power, if we go there at our level, wouldn't it be like sending ourselves to death?"
Yuan Kong secretly thought that this prodigal son was really useless, and said unhappily:
"Then you wait here, I will go there by myself."
Such an opportunity must not be missed.
Yuan Kong's feet were like the wind, and his bald head was shining with a strong light, like a headlight illuminating the darkness suppressed by thunder, and he ran forward rapidly.
"..."
This bald donkey is so brave!
Feng Nangong was afraid of the power of thunder, but he was also afraid of encountering other demons. After thinking it over, he could only grit his teeth and follow. He carried the Feng family's treasure with him, so if he really encountered danger, he should be able to save himself.
It's better than waiting here alone.
.........
-
Deep in the vast mountains and forests of the island, there is a towering paulownia tree.
The phoenix tree is vigorous and tall, with a dense and green crown that rises into the sky.
And at the top of the dense tree canopy, there is a group of glittering bird nests. The bird nests are woven with rare spiritual essences, and the spiritual energy is dense and the light is bright. At this time, it is shrouded in lightning.
"Chimi~~"
In the luxurious birdhouse filled with spiritual essence, there lay an ordinary bird, its belly facing up, its wings covering its belly, its red beak slightly open, drooling with every breath. It was sleeping soundly, mumbling a few words from time to time, as if it was dreaming of a feast of delicious food.
It was Queque.
After absorbing the essence in the secret realm left by her mother, Queque was sent to sleep in the towering phoenix tree by the power of the secret realm. She never woke up during this period until today when the thunder suddenly sounded.
"Rumble--"
Thunder roared down, and the area was covered by thunder. Countless creatures crawled on the ground, all submitting to the power of heaven and earth.
The closer Yuan Kong got, the more he could sense the terrifying power of thunder. He was busy spreading his spiritual sense and carefully exploring the situation ahead.
When he realized that the target of the thunder was the towering phoenix tree, Yuan Kong's dry pupils trembled slightly, revealing a bit of excitement, but besides the excitement there was also some fear and awe:
"The East China Sea is indeed a place of auspiciousness. This scene is like a divine phoenix appearing in the world..."
According to ancient rumors, the phoenix loved to build its nest in the paulownia tree. Over time, other bird tribes began to avoid the paulownia trees to avoid offending the phoenix tribe.
Seeing the thunder heading towards Wutong, Yuan Kong immediately judged that a divine phoenix might have appeared in the East China Sea. If so, it would be a great opportunity. How could he not be excited?
If he could bring the Divine Phoenix back, it would be his turn to sit on the abbot's seat of the Zen Sect, and the four great elders would then offer him tea... The more Yuan Kong thought about it, the more impatient he became.
When Feng Nangong heard the word "Phoenix", the corners of his eyes twitched. He didn't care about being afraid, and quickly spread his spiritual sense. When he sensed the sacred aura on the Wutong tree, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva and rubbed his hands excitedly:
“My goodness… Such a sacred and vigorous aura, even if it’s not a phoenix, it’s definitely an auspicious beast… If I could bring it home, the first thing I would do when I get back is to send my father to dig coal in the northwest!”
After saying that, Feng Nangong quickly explored with his spiritual sense, and sure enough, he saw a young bird on the towering phoenix tree.
Although the young birds are ugly, their sacred aura is real.
However… the thunder was about to strike, but the ugly little phoenix was sleeping, drooling from its mouth, and seemed to be mumbling:
“Steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails… roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose…”
Feng Nangong's eyes twitched and his face darkened. He wondered what was wrong with this young phoenix. A heavenly calamity had struck him, yet he was still dreaming?
"Amitabha……"
Yuan Kong wanted to help, but unfortunately his strength was limited. The thunder was coming in an instant, and he could only watch as the thunder struck the drooling little guy.
However, at the moment when the divine thunder struck, the little fellow who was originally sleeping and drooling suddenly opened his mouth wide and sucked wildly:
"It's delicious, Xiao Lu, buy it for me! I'll eat like crazy!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the first divine thunder was sucked into his mouth.
"!"
Yuan Kong was extremely shocked. This stupid young phoenix actually ate thunder? !
Before Yuan Kong could react, he saw Queque straighten its legs, spread its wings suddenly, and suddenly open its eyes.
next moment--
"yue..."
The sparrow jumped three hundred feet high, its wings nimbly caught in its throat, and it coughed violently like a child, retching while coughing, as if it wanted to spit out the divine thunder.
But it is easy to eat, but difficult to spit out.
Thunder roared all over Que Que's body, and every feather was covered with lightning. She used her energy to calm the thunder as much as possible, while holding her neck and dry-heaving:
"Yue... tastes terrible... like dog shit..."
"?!"
Feng Nangong opened his mouth and stared, and didn't react for a long time.
Only Queque's words echoed in my ears.
Shit?
Have you ever eaten dog shit?
Feng Nangong felt that this young phoenix had an unknown quality and a low IQ. He wanted to rush over and shake Queque's head to wake her up.
"Zizzizi..."
The moment the divine thunder entered his stomach, it exploded in his abdomen. Queque's whole body was filled with thunder and lightning. He howled in pain, but he was full of energy and it was obvious that his origin was not damaged.
Feng Nangong blinked.
Isn’t this divine thunder?
Is that all the power it has?
Feng Nangong looked at the thunder in the sky with a dull expression, slowly clenched his hands, and suddenly an impulse of "I can do it too" surged up:
"Yuan Kong, I think I can also try this thunder, what do you think?"
Yuan Kong stared at Que Que intently and said, "If you don't want to die, shut up."
"..."
Feng Nangong curled his lips and looked at the divine thunder eagerly.
"hold head high!!"
While he was lost in thought, a soft humming sounded throughout the heaven and earth. Yuan Kong quickly came back to his senses and saw that Queque had transformed into a ball of thunder and was flying towards him.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you run?!"
Yuan Kong's face turned green. Seeing Feng Nangong staring at the divine thunder in a daze, he raised his leg and kicked him, then turned around and ran away.
If they were hit by this ball of divine thunder, they would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.
……
"Ow!!"
High in the sky, the birds were tortured by the thunder and screamed loudly. Their consciousness gradually became blurred and they flew around instinctively, trying to relieve the pain, crashing into many mountains and giant trees in the process.
"Rumble..."
The divine thunder seemed to have its own consciousness. No matter where the sparrow flew, it would follow closely behind it and strike down steadily, accurately and fiercely.
Six or seven divine thunderbolts struck down in succession, and Queque felt dizzy and her body strength seemed to be rapidly draining away. Her consciousness began to blur, her mind was somewhat scattered, and even her speech was somewhat incoherent:
"If I had known Nirvana was going to be so miserable, I would have asked Xiao Lu to do it for me...steamed lamb..."
Que Que murmured to herself as she spun and fell from mid-air. She was enveloped by a dozen bolts of lightning and fell heavily into the East China Sea, where the sea water instantly boiled and stirred up a raging wave.
But after only a moment, the sea returned to calm.
The thunderclouds dispersed, the sun rose in the sky, and the East China Sea returned to its calm state, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
……
"Where's the Phoenix?"
When the surroundings returned to calm, in the valley about ten miles away from the towering phoenix trees, the surface soil slowly rose up and a head popped out. It was Feng Nan Palace.
The situation was urgent, so he and Yuan Kong had to use the earth escape technique to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it. Seeing that the wind and rain outside had stopped, they dared to come out and take a look.
Yuan Kong used his spiritual sense to search for a while, but could not find any trace of the phoenix. He looked unhappy:
"Will the tribulation not fail?"
"!"
Feng Nangong hurriedly climbed out of the pit, shaking off the dirt on his body, and cursed:
"Don't talk nonsense, that's a phoenix, how could a phoenix fail in its tribulation?"
“The Phoenix had to go through nine deaths in its rebirth. The strength of the divine beast’s tribulation is far beyond what you and I can imagine. What’s more, she also swallowed a divine thunderbolt, and the consequences must be disastrous…” Yuan Kong’s voice suddenly stopped, and he stared at the southern Tianyu intently.
There was silence between heaven and earth, the breeze died down and the air became still, except for the bright red glow in the southern sky.
Yuan Kong held his breath and his pupils gradually dilated.
I saw a beam of fire rising into the sky, the blazing divine flame burned half of the sky, and in the flames, a beautiful and holy phoenix flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
The phoenix's colorful feathers are radiant, its long tail feathers are graceful, and its wings flutter with such force that the creatures on the island instinctively surrender.
"..."
Feng Nangong was shocked beyond words. He instinctively took out the photo scroll and recorded this shocking scene.
……
"hold head high!!"
The phoenix is crying over the East China Sea.
Queque only felt the power in her body rushing up into the sky, and the meridians that were originally injured by thunder quickly recovered. She soared into the sky along with this power, and lightly waved her colorful divine feathers, causing endless flames to burn the sky.
The mighty Phoenix, reborn from the ashes!
At this moment, the whole East China Sea could see the amazing phenomenon. Countless cultivators were startled by this aura and came over the waves to try to see it.
The sparrow flapped its wings and flew high, stretching itself freely in the sky. It wanted to spit at the sky in revenge for the divine thunder, but at this moment, it sensed dozens of divine senses probing towards this side.
"I have to be more low-key. If I'm too high-profile, I'll be envied like Xiao Lu..."
Queque hurriedly restrained his own breath, suppressed the thousands of divine fires, and landed on the coast of the East China Sea.
She looked at herself in the water, the beautiful phoenix reflected in the water, and sighed:
"I know that in the bird world, my appearance is top-notch... huh?"
Queque was immersed in her own beauty, but at this moment, the grass in the distance swayed slightly. She narrowed her eyes and her figure disappeared from the spot.
next moment--
The grass shook, branches and leaves scattered, and two figures rushed into the sky from the grass, like a kite with a broken string, and were kicked to the seaside.
Yuan Kong wanted to take a peek, but he was discovered as soon as he got there. He covered his buttocks and said repeatedly without caring about his Buddhist demeanor:
"Hey, hey, hey... Amitabha, don't kick my butt, it's not nice!"
Que Que quickly followed, and when the two men landed, she stepped on them. Her fiery red eyes spun around, and when she saw Yuan Kong's appearance clearly, she was startled:
"Eh? Xiao Lu's big bald friend?"
"?"
Yuan Kong was a little stunned.
Queque blinked, turned around in a circle, and turned back into an ordinary bird. It stretched out its wings and pointed at Yuankong, saying arrogantly:
