Chapter 652 - 752: Stirring of the Seal
Hmm? Colorful? How could it be colorful? Shouldn't a phoenix be golden? But this bird is multicolored?
That can't be right? Wait a minute, maybe this isn't a phoenix but some other demon beast. If it's some other demon beast, then that makes sense. But what kind of demon beast would make a phoenix cry? And colorful birds, it seems, are only peacocks.
Peacock? In other words, the demon beast making the phoenix cry in the back mountain of Taichu Peak is very likely a peacock.
At that moment, Ye Tianfan noticed that the enemies who had surrounded and attacked him earlier, their bodies started to stiffen after the phoenix cry. Then, on their faces, he saw. Faint cracks began to spread, and then tiny fragments started to fall from these cracks.
Afterwards, Ye Tianfan noticed that the fragments fell more and more, and then their entire bodies with a "bang" turned into ashes.
Moreover, Ye Tianfan didn't notice any signs of resurrection from them afterward, so Ye Tianfan concluded that the phoenix cry really did kill them dead.
However, after this phoenix cry, Ye Tianfan also felt. A strange sensation began to emerge between heaven and earth. This sensation felt like the first time Ye Tianfan discovered the door sealing the Nine-Headed Dragon below Taichu Peak and the aura inside. This feeling, you could say, is just like the Nine-Headed Dragon's aura that Ye Tianfan discovered before.
Because Ye Tianfan was quite familiar with this feeling, after all, Ye Tianfan had dealt with the heart of the Nine-Headed Dragon before. And Ye Tianfan's previous pet, the Bloodlight Five Element Extreme Serpent, also had the aura of the Nine-Headed Dragon inside.
So Ye Tianfan was very sensitive to the aura of the Nine-Headed Dragon. Although Ye Tianfan didn't know what happened or if it was related to this phoenix cry, Ye Tianfan knew. The seal of the Nine-Headed Dragon seemed to have loosened, causing its aura to leak out.
But Ye Tianfan, relying on his gut feeling, felt that the loosening of the Nine-Headed Dragon's seal should have some connection with this phoenix cry.
However, those troublesome enemies in front of Ye Tianfan were all dead now, and Ye Tianfan also saw that the Nine-Colored Glazed Wall enveloping Taichu Peak was beginning to gradually dissipate.
And even before the Nine-Colored Glazed Wall completely dissipated, Ye Tianfan saw eight beams of light quickly flying out from the wall, heading towards the various peaks.
Soon, Ye Tianfan realized, weren't those eight figures the heads of the eight peaks, apart from the True Man of Taichu?
Why were they in such a hurry to return to their peaks? Could it be that something had happened? At that moment, Ye Tianfan found himself in a dilemma – unsure whether to enter Taichu Peak or not, drifting leisurely in the sky.
At that moment, Bai Feng finally arrived.
"Oh... oh dear, I finally caught up with you. It's exhausted me. What happened? I just saw Uncle Tian Chu whiz past me with a shout, why didn't you return to Taituo Peak with Uncle Tian Chu?" Bai Feng asked breathlessly, seeming to have overexerted his spiritual power due to high-speed flight.
"Did you hear a phoenix cry just now?" Ye Tianfan asked Bai Feng.
"Phoenix cry?" Bai Feng asked curiously, "You mean the call of a phoenix?"
"Yes, exactly the call of the phoenix, it just echoed through the clouds." Ye Tianfan said.
"I didn't hear a phoenix cry, but if you mean a strange feeling, I did feel something like that. And phoenixes generally don't roam around, could it be you misheard it as the sound of a phoenix but it was actually the call of some other bird?" Bai Feng whispered.
"But you said it was a phoenix cry, how could it be the call of some other bird? Even if it was some other bird, which bird could sound like a phoenix?" Ye Tianfan asked.
"Isn't that simple?" Bai Feng was a bit puzzled as to why Ye Tianfan would ask such a question, but then realized that Ye Tianfan had only been cultivating for merely two or three years and let it go.
Indeed, even if Ye Tianfan had talent, with such a short cultivation time, he couldn't excel in everything, or in other words, people like Ye Tianfan always have their fatal weaknesses, and among those with fatal weaknesses.
"There are many bird-like demon beasts that have a phoenix cry, for example, the Pointed Beak Phoenix and the Flat Beak Phoenix from the sub-phoenix lineage. Then there's the Mimic Bird, the Dodo Beast, the Red Flame Fire Sparrow, the Vermilion Bird, the Five-Pole Color God Sparrow, and so on," Bai Feng explained.
Ye Tianfan was surprised to hear that so many demon beasts could make a cry like a phoenix. He immediately thought of the silhouette he had seen earlier. That silhouette made him think it was a peacock, but hearing that so many demon beasts could also mimic the phoenix cry, he began to wonder if he was mistaken. Or maybe it's a colorful demon beast. Oh, right, he should ask Bai Feng.
"Bai Feng, do you know of any demon beast that's a colorful bird and also makes a phoenix cry? Is there such a demon beast?" Ye Tianfan asked, wanting to see if he really made a mistake earlier or if the demon beast he saw was actually what he thought, or maybe it was colorful only when it was casting a spell.
"A bird? Colorful? And makes a phoenix cry? Is it big or small?" Bai Feng asked Ye Tianfan after hearing his query, not quite sure if it was the demon beast he was thinking of.
Hearing Bai Feng's question, Ye Tianfan thought for a moment. That demon beast seemed quite large, especially when it spread its wings, even larger. Its body was not even half as big as its wings, so he told Bai Feng, "That demon beast was quite large, and when it spread its wings, it was even larger. The middle of the body wasn't even half as big as one wing, and the wings seemed colorful and luminescent as well."
Upon hearing Ye Tianfan, Bai Feng nodded, realizing that the demon beast matched the one in his mind; Ye Tianfan must be describing that demon beast he had in mind. So he explained to Ye Tianfan, "If you didn't see wrong, that demon beast is the Five-Pole Color God Sparrow, a kind of peacock-like demon beast. Its feathers have five colors, each corresponding to the elements of the Five Elements. Particularly, the Five-Pole Color God Sparrow, using its wings or tail, can sweep away anything within the Five Elements. Ordinary things would be swept into powder with its wings or tail. If it's a Magical Treasure, it would be swept aside and rendered unusable for a short time."
