Chapter 1451: The Dispute over the Undying Bloodline

The Mountains and Sea Continent was a renowned continent in the Great Thousand World. It was well-known because of a royal clan that was residing in the Great Thousand World. This clan was the Phoenix Clan.

There were many different bird clans in the Great Thousand World. They held high positions and were well-known. Their strengths were mighty and they could be considered as the supreme powers in the Great Thousand World.

As its name suggested, the continent was surrounded by the mountains and sea. The mountains were majestic and towering, which made the continent look primitive.

At the center of the continent, among the vast stretch of mountains, a beautiful palace could be seen. Clouds were hanging in the sky that surrounded, while birds were flying around it. As the birds chirped, it made one feel as though he was in paradise.

A majestic hall stood in the middle of the mountains, and a stream was flowing within it. This place was filed with the aura of fairies, and stone seats were placed alongside the stream.

People were sitting on the stone seats, and each of them exuded a spiritual light. As the spiritual lights gathered behind them, they indistinctly turned into the shadows of different kinds of birds.

Those who were not of their same type would be shocked if they were to see this scene. However, all of them were from the Sovereign Divine Beast Clans of the Great Thousand World, so they had something in common, which was that they all belonged to the bird category.

These clans were as powerful as the supreme powers in the Great Thousand World. As the Sovereign Divine Beast Clans had a long history, they had a rich base that no ordinary top forces could compare with. When these Sovereign Divine Beast Clans gathered together, they made up a mighty force in the Great Thousand World.

At the moment, a figure was sitting on the stone seat that was in front of the main hall. He was a middle-aged man with long hair. As he moved his hands around, he exuded an elegant aura.

In the Phoenix Clan, the males and females took turns ruling the clan. For this term, the middle-aged man had taken control over the Phoenix Clan. His name was Huang Jin, the Phoenix King.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Deification Pool will be activated in a month's time. Everyone will then be able to get some blood according to your own capabilities," the Phoenix King said as he sat on the main seat, while looking around in a dignified manner.

After hearing what the Phoenix King had said, light glittered in the eyes of those who were present, as they were looking forward to this with great anticipation. The Deification Pool was a treasure that had been left behind by their ancestors.

During the Primordial Age, the Phoenix Clan and the other Sovereign Divine Beast Clans had come to an agreement that stated that, just before their Heavenly Sovereigns passed on, the Heavenly Sovereigns would step into the Deification Pool and fuse their bodies and bloodlines into the Deification Pool.

When there were geniuses among their descendants, they could then step into the blood source that was left behind by the ancestors in order to purify their own bloodlines and further evolve from it. As such, the Deification Pool was a great opportunity that the ancestors had left behind for all of the bird families of the Sovereign Divine Beast Clans in the Great Thousand World.

Not only did the ordinary Divine Beast Clans yearn to have such an opportunity, but even the Phoenix Clan desired to have it as well. However, as the Deification Pool had been set up by their various ancestors, no one could dominate it. Once the pool had been activated, everyone would have to fight for his share based on his own abilities.

The Phoenix King looked at the expressions of everyone present and smiled. He then turned to look at the furthest end of the hall, where two people were seated.

The one seated in front was wearing a black top and looked rather imposing. He was the Clan Leader of the Nine Netherbird Clan, Tianhuang.

Behind him was a lady in a black skirt. She was slender and tall, and her clothes accentuated her figure. She was beautiful and cold, and as she curled up her lips, she looked wild and captivating. She was none other than Nine Nether.

"Clan Leader Tianhuang, Miss Nine Nether, I wonder if you have come to a decision regarding my earlier proposal?" Huang Jin asked the two of them with a smile.

When Clan Leader Tianhuang heard what Huang Jin had said, he turned pale. Nine Nether, who was beside him, bit her lip.

When Huang Jin saw that the two of them kept mum, he was not bothered by it. He simply smiled and said, "Both of you know that my son is cultivating the Nine Rounds Toward Sanctification Technique. He has already gone through eight rounds of the transcendent state, and after one more round, he will be able to step into the Divine level. I hope that Nine Netherbird Clan will help him with it when that time comes."

Having said that, Huang Jin looked behind him, where a good-looking young man was sitting quietly. He had bright eyes and sharp brows and was robed in gold. He had a royal look about it, which made him look like the son of a king, someone who everyone would submit himself to.

This was the son of Huang Jin, who was also the Young Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan, Huang Xuanzhi. Currently, he was cultivating the Paramount Super Power of the Phoenix Clan, the Nine Rounds Toward Sanctification Technique.

Each round would bring him to a transcendent state, and every state required 10 years of cultivation. After he had completed nine rounds, he could step into the Divine level.

The Nine Rounds Toward Sanctification Technique was listed in The Great Thousand World's 36 Rare Super Power, so it was very mighty. However, such a great Super Power was difficult to cultivate. It required one to be very talented.

Moreover, every time one went through one round, he had to swallow the bloodline of a Sovereign Divine Beast. Now that Huang Xuanzhi had successfully gone through eight rounds, he had stepped into the God Grade level.

After he had gone through the eight rounds, the bloodline of the Sovereign Divine Beast became more difficult to find. Apparently, they were eyeing the bloodline of the Primordia Undying Bird that was in Nine Nether's body.

The Primordial Undying Bird was of the same lineage as the phoenix, and it was more scarce than the bloodline of the real phoenix. Currently, there was still one person who possessed the bloodline of the Undying Bird, and that was Nine Nether.

The rest of the Sovereign Divine Beast Clans looked coldly at Tianhuang and Nine Nether, yet did nothing. In the world of the divine beasts, they were far more ferocious than they were in the world of the human beings.

They would consume the weak in order to rise to power. As the Nine Netherbird Clan was only a Divine Beast Clan and not a Sovereign Divine Beast Clan, when they found that Nine Nether possessed the Undying Bird bloodline, many people started to eye her.

Tianhuang looked downcast. Nine Nether was the only person who could awaken the bloodline of the Undying Bird in their Nine Netherbird Clan. As such, she was the hope of the clan, and they had used all of their resources to groom her in the hopes of helping her complete her evolution to step into the Divine level.

He had brought Nine Nether to the Phoenix Clan specifically for the Deification Pool. However, he had not expected that by doing so, Huang Jin would eye the bloodline of the Undying Bird that Nine Nether possessed!

Tianhuang knew that if he allowed Huang Xuanzhi to devour the bloodline of the Undying Bird, Nine Nether would not be able to advance any further. This would be a great blow to the Nine Netherbird Clan.

However, the Phoenix Clan was powerful, and Huang Jin was a Divine Heavenly Sovereign, so their Nine Netherbird Clan was unable to contend with him. If they turned him down, he would be enraged.

Tianhuang was at a loss and did not know what to do, so he simply said, "It is my daughter's honor to be chosen by you. However, she was defiant back then and formed an agreement with a human being to bond their bloodlines together. I am afraid that this has affected the purity of her bloodline."

When the Sovereign Divine Beast Clans heard what Tianhang had said, they were amazed. Even Huang Jin started to frown.

The Phoenix Clan considered themselves to be noble, so they only liked things that were pure. As such, the other Sovereign Divine Beasts were boors in their eyes, let alone the human beings!

When Tianhuang saw their reactions, he heaved a huge sigh of relief. Although what he had said reflected badly upon Nine Nether, as long as he could protect her, he did not mind tarnishing her reputation.

However, just as he started to relax, Huang Xuanzhi smiled and said, "It is okay. We will capture this human being. There are various means that my clan that can use to break this bloodline bond. Don't worry, we will make sure that Miss Nine Nether will not be hurt in any way."

When Nine Nether heard this, her heart sank. One party would be hurt if the bloodline bond was broken! If she was not the one to get hurt, then Mu Chen would be the one!

When Tianhuang heard this, he summoned his courage and said, "It may not be wise to capture this person."

"Oh?" Huang Jin squinted his eyes and said with a careless smile, "Not many people in this Great Thousand World can stop us from capturing him."

Tianhuang hesitated for a while before he grit his teeth and said, "The one who has made the bloodline bond with my daughter is Mu Chen, the Mu Estate Master of the Tianluo Continent."

"Mu Chen?" When Tianhuang mentioned this name, everyone already knew about him.

At that moment, one of the Sovereign Divine Beasts asked in amazement, "Is he the Mu Chen who created havoc in the Budur Ancient Clan?"

Tianhuang nodded. If Mu Chen was not powerful now, he would not have disclosed such information.

When Huang Jin heard this, he was shocked. This name was well-known in the Great Thousand World, and even though Huang Jin was not afraid of Mu Chen, he was very wary of his mother, as she was the First Elder of the Budur Ancient Clan! With such a family background, the Phoenix Clan could do nothing to Mu Chen.

Huang Jin furrowed his brows. In this case, he must not capture Mu Chen by force in order to break the bloodline bond, lest Qing Yanjing would become enraged and not let the matter rest. Tianhuang was elated when he saw that Huang Jin had become silent all of a sudden.

However, he soon saw Huang Xuanzhi looking thoughtfully at him. He then said, "In this case, we will not bother about the bloodline bond. I am fine with it, as it will not affect me."

It was a fact that their Phoenix Clan preferred things that were pure. However, in order for him to obtain the bloodline of the Undying Bird, he had to accept the bloodline bond. Moreover, he could tell that Tianhuang was trying to find excuses.

When Tianhuang heard this, his heart sank.

Huang Xuanzhi looked coldly at him, while he said bluntly, "Mu Chen has his mother to back him up, so we cannot do anything to him. However, if you think that we are afraid of him and that makes you want to use him to threaten us, let me tell you upfront, Mu Chen is still not up to facing us!"

He then added, "If you are also thinking of telling us that Mu Chen will stand up for Miss Nine Nether, you would also be silly. After all, I would really like to meet this genius who has created such havoc in the Budur Ancient Clan, just to see how powerful he is!"

Having said that, he smiled and looked at the pale-looking Tianhuang and Nine Nether. He then added, "Moreover, I believe that Mu Chen does not have the guts to come to my clan and behave atrociously. If he dares to come here, I will have him captured. I will then show him that there is always someone better than him!"

Huang Xuanzhi sounded casual and looked calm. There was an air of arrogance about him, and he exuded the demeanor of a king. The way he carried himself was indeed impressive.

When Huang Jin saw this, he nodded with a smile. He was pleased with the way that Huang Xuanzhi had conducted himself. Although Mu Chen was well-known, when compared to his son, Mu Chen was still inferior to him!

His son was the favored one. Thus, he looked sternly at Tianhuang and Nine Nether as his voice resounded in the main hall, "I have decided. One month from now, when the Deification Pool has been activated, that will be the day that my son goes for the ninth round."

He then added, "After entering the Deification Pool, if you are still unwilling to hand over the bloodline of the Undying Bird, my son will do it himself."
