— Chapter 383 —

After the Nine Phoenix Lords agreed to Han Yuan’s sudden requests, they directly led him and his companions to another location on the Samsara Isle of Paradise.

“Where are we?” Xiao Wu asked curiously. “I thought we were supposed to go to the Land of Ten Thousand Nirvanas?”

Purple Phoenix Lord laughed haughtily. “Little rabbit, how could the Land of Ten Thousand Nirvanas compare to the Inheritance Site of our Phoenix Clan? That place is merely where the Law of Nirvana is strongest and is suitable for our clan’s descendants to cultivate.”

“But the legacy of the Phoenix Clan isn’t just that!”

“The Phoenix God’s Trial Ground is the most significant and most precious site on the Samsara Isle of Paradise. It helps the new generations of the Phoenix Clan obtain pure Phoenix’s Blood and comprehend the natural laws of the universe.”

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that entering the Phoenix God’s Trial Ground can change one’s fate!”

“Whoa, the Phoenix God is incredibly powerful!” Xiao Wu couldn’t help but feel impressed.

Xiao Wu knew how precious God’s Trials were, as only a handful of people at the Dao Academy had them. Honestly, she was envious of those God’s Inheritors because they could cultivate faster and become stronger than her.

Nevertheless, Xiao Wu also reminded herself that her natural talent was far superior to that of any human genius of her age. The perk of being a transformed spirit beast certainly had its advantages.

“Hmph, now you know!” Purple Phoenix Lord proudly puffed out his flaming body.

Han Yuan glanced at Purple Phoenix Lord. “It’s just God’s Trials, it’s not like I haven’t been through one before.”

“My own academy has a few God’s Inheritors, and each of them has at least the potential to become a Godking. The worst they could be is 1st Class God Realm.”

“…” Purple Phoenix Lord.

Storm Phoenix Lord laughed, “Pfft, he got you, Ah Lei.”

“Shut up, Ah Feng,” Purple Phoenix Lord snorted.

Ice Phoenix Lord gently shook her head and remarked, “God’s Trials are rare, but that doesn’t mean others can’t encounter them. With enough fortuitous chance, one may undergo God’s Trials.”

“Thunder God, eh?” Chaos Phoenix Lord mumbled while eyeing Han Yuan. “That fellow is truly a powerful 1st Class God and has the potential to be a Godking. Unfortunately, it seems he has also fallen.”

White-Eyed Phoenix Lord sighed, “So many gods have fallen, so it is no wonder the Divine Realm has declined so much.”

Han Yuan shrugged casually. “There’s nothing I could do about it. Still, I think having a God’s Trial is better than nothing.”

“That’s true.” The other Phoenix Lords agreed with his sentiment.

“We are here,” Fire Phoenix Lord suddenly announced. “Welcome to the Nine Skies of Phoenix Ascensions!”

Everyone looked at the sight before them and saw many colorful clouds that were tangible enough to step on.

There were ten main islands, nine related to the Nine Phoenix Lords, with the last cloud island being the largest, most sacred one. This last island supported a massive parasol tree made of pure crimson gold and silver, glimmering with divine light and auspicious clouds.

Above these islands, a giant golden sun, a crescent silver moon, and colorful stars hovered together, creating this picturesque sight.

Han Yuan froze in place as his Eyes of Truth detected a pure law of the universe from this site. It was none other than the Primordial Law of Creation that shaped this universe.

Each of these cloud islands was ‘literally’ made of pure, condensed divine energies that were many times stronger than Han Yuan’s own energy.

We were not talking about a one-to-thousands difference, but rather a one-to-a-million difference in quality.

And that was just the cloud islands!

Han Yuan had yet to consider the gigantic parasol tree, the private island of the Nine Phoenix Lords, and the three celestial manifestations above them.

‘And the books said the Phoenix God fell due to the Dragon God? Just how strong is this troublesome old fool?’ Han Yuan clicked his tongue in awe.

Yet, Han Yuan wasn’t too shocked; he had already encountered an expert beyond the gods of this universe, Venerable Yao. An expert at that level could easily annihilate a Godking with a mere sneeze.

Not to mention, Han Yuan also possessed several much more powerful legacies from other worlds. The Sky Poison Pearl alone was powerful enough in the Douluo Universe.

Purple Phoenix Lord casually grabbed Xiao Wu and tossed her towards the center. “Little rabbit, stand on that small golden cloud island in the center.”

“Place your hand on the small rock pillar, and the Phoenix God will assess your talent.”

“Although you’re just a little rabbit, you’re still a spirit beast, and the Phoenix God is very benevolent when it comes to bestowing her blessing.”

Xiao Wu spun in the air and shouted, “Ah! You bad guy! Why did you suddenly throw me like that?”

“Pfft!” Dark Phoenix Lord chuckled.

“He really is a bad guy,” Holy Phoenix Lord remarked with a smile.

“Xiao Wu… Senior, is she going to be okay?” Xiao Rou asked worriedly, concerned for her daughter.

Purple Phoenix Lord grumbled, “Do you think I would harm your little daughter, Rabbit Girl? Hmph, you underestimate this Phoenix Lord.”

“I’m not that petty. I’m just giving your daughter a bite of God Mother’s greatness.”

“You should be thanking me instead, hmph!”

“Look, this little rabbit is quite interesting!” Jade Phoenix Lord suddenly pointed at Xiao Wu on the assessment cloud.

BOOOOOOOM!!

CAW!

A dark green, jade-colored pillar of light erupted from the assessment cloud, illuminating the surroundings.

The eight consecutive cries of divine phoenixes reverberated throughout the Inheritance Site, seemingly awakening an ancient power within the Phoenix God’s trials.

“This is…” Holy Phoenix Lord’s eyes widened slightly.

“Eight cries of the Divine Phoenix!”

“Holy smokes! This little rabbit’s aptitude is actually so strong!” Dark Phoenix Lord exclaimed in disbelief.

“Blood of a Divine Beast, an Ancestral Blood Awakening?” Fire Phoenix Lord observed with amusement. “How rare.”

“This little rabbit should be called Jade Rabbit!”

Chaos Phoenix Lord was curious. “Jade Rabbit? What branch of Divine Beast is that?”

“Taiyin Rabbit,” White-Eyed Phoenix Lord answered immediately. “As far as I remember, this particular Divine Beast symbolizes the purest essence of Lunar Force, also known as the Yin Attribute.”

“It is a Divine Beast of the Moon…” Ice Phoenix Lord added.

“Nevertheless, this little rabbit has only recently become a Jade Rabbit and has yet to tap into the Taiyin Rabbit’s lineage,” Jade Phoenix Lord noted. “Even then, her future is limitless!”

Xiao Rou did not expect such praise from the Divine Phoenix Lords, as she knew her daughter was willful and somewhat lazy. “Was my daughter that amazing?” she wondered aloud.

Ice Phoenix Lord chuckled softly in response, “Your daughter is more than amazing.”

“Calling her the future of Divine Beasts isn’t an exaggeration at all,” Dark Phoenix Lord continued. “The number of Divine Beasts left in this universe is quite small now.”

“The future of Divine Beasts…” Xiao Rou stared at her dazed daughter and felt that the dream was distant. Yet, this was the reality.

White-Eyed Phoenix Lord giggled, “As her mother, you’re not doing too badly either. I can sense that your bloodline has also evolved to another branch of the Taiyin Rabbit, the Moon Rabbit.”

“Jade Rabbit is known for its extreme physical prowess, while the Moon Rabbit is known for its extreme affinity with the moon and Yin-like attributes.”

“You, mother, and daughter represent the two extremes of the Taiyin Rabbit!”

“Unfortunately, you encountered the Phoenix God’s Trials instead of the Taiyin Rabbit God’s Trials…” White-Eyed Phoenix Lord remarked with a heartbreaking sigh.

“Is it a bad thing for Xiao Wu to obtain these trials?” Xiao Rou asked, her worry apparent.

White-Eyed Phoenix Lord shook her head gently and replied, “No, God’s Trials are what they are; they would simply help one to cultivate faster. with the blessing of the Gods.”

“Still, the Phoenix God’s Trials may not fully help you and your daughter to awaken your bloodlines further.”

“At the end of the day, these trials are for us phoenixes, not rabbits.”

Storm Phoenix Lord interjected, “The Phoenix God’s Trials are separated into nine grades, representing the number of cries that echo when the tester steps on the Assessment Cloud.”

“One phoenix cry is the lowest threshold of the Phoenix God’s Trials, but even that allows a sub-phoenix spirit beast to obtain true phoenix blood.”

“Your daughter, that little rabbit, triggered Eight Phoenix Cries. She is just one cry short of becoming one of our inheritors!”

“This…” Xiao Rou gasped, finally grasping the significance of Xiao Wu’s assessment.

Ah Yin covered her mouth in amazement. “As expected of a girl chosen by my son, she’s impressive.”

“One cry short of becoming a Phoenix Lord’s inheritor…” Bi Ji gazed at the Assessment Cloud with a longing expression, being the Azure Phoenix herself.

Han Yuan rubbed his chin thoughtfully and asked Fire Phoienix Lord, “So, nine cries is the highest?”

Fire Phoenix Lord raised an eyebrow and replied bluntly, “No. The highest assessment is actually ten cries!”

“It is also called the Phoenix God’s Song of Joyful Emergence!”

Then, he continued solemnly. “This signifies that a new Phoenix God is about to rise from the Phoenix Clan.”

“Unfortunately, neither my siblings nor I are worthy of it. Sigh, we are merely guardians after all.”
