Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials

Apparently, for revenge, Fan Xian’Er directly chose the most dangerous path.

Phoenix Nirvana is an ancient legend, the top innate divine technique of the pure-blooded Phoenix.

However, for the mixed-blood descendants, though it’s a chance to ascend to the heavens in one step, it is also a chasm.

Advancing can transform the bloodline; retreating is a thousand-foot abyss.

The risks within are immense, easily leading to the dispersal of the soul, perishing on the spot.

And miracles don’t always happen.

Now, clearly, Fan Xian’Er has gambled and lost.

Failed to grasp that lifeline.

And this is the true norm of the Cultivation Realm.

The entire dead egg is silent, showing no movement inside, its surface as hard as a stone wall, drawing a sigh.

This beauty has a troubled fate!

"Rise!"

Without any other action visible from Zheng Yi, he directly activated the Divine Soul Power, an invisible force ’lifted’ the dead embryo out from the stone wall, broke through the seabed, rising from the heavy depths of the deep sea towards the shallow sea above.

Moments later, the Phoenix Egg which Fan Xian’Er transformed into at the cost of her own life resurfaced after failure.

However, at this moment, it has completely become a dead egg, with no chance of hatching again.

This unhatched dead egg measures up to two meters, with a surface of deep gray, eroded by seawater, partially covered by marine plants, looking somewhat mottled.

After cleaning off everything on its surface, the egg appears deep gray, like the color of volcanic ash left after a lava eruption, completely devoid of any signs of life.

Upon close observation, there’s not a single crack or rupture on the surface, the entire Phoenix Egg remains intact, with no Primordial Qi released, its origin still confined inside the egg, without any waste.

"Preserved very well, ready for the next action!"

After a meticulous inspection, Zheng Yi finally confirmed the target’s intact condition and started preparing for the next step of the plan.

...

The surface of the dead Phoenix Egg appeared in a gray-brown color, its shell long petrified, emitting a crisp ’crack’ when tapped.

Decades have passed, with no sign of life within this Phoenix Egg, resembling a dead embryo, completely devoid of life force.

Gazing at the gray-brown Phoenix Egg in front, a slight anomaly crossed Zheng Yi’s face, moments later, his gaze returned to calmness.

Back then, he witnessed Fan Xian’Er burning her Phoenix Blood, using the Nirvana Technique to transform into this Phoenix Egg to sink into the earth, yet upon reunion, this dead embryo of an egg failed to endure the day of ultimate bloodline transformation.

Fan Xian’Er, thus, died and vanished.

No more chances to progress further.

Indeed, the world is unpredictable.

However, this also aligns with the principles of the Heavenly Dao, cultivators reverse to achieve immortal ascension; it’s a defiance of heaven, aiming to overcome numerous obstacles, akin to thousands crossing a wooden bridge, aware of their risk.

After a long time, Zheng Yi restrained his Heart Spirit, with his eyes focused, a faint glow emerged in the depths of his eyes, containing the flames of Divine Soul Power, converging on the long petrified Phoenix Egg.

It’s purely a spiritual flame, embodying the powerful Divine Will of Zheng Yi himself, the spiritual will nurtured by his Innate Origin Divine Body, the colorless flame exuding intense spiritual fluctuations, burning around the entire Phoenix Egg in the air.

Being a flame on the spiritual realm, it’s beyond the Three Realms, outside the Five Elements, pure spiritual infiltration, hence, doesn’t affect changes in external matter, the surrounding temperature remains as usual, without any increase.

In contrast, as the spiritual flame gradually infiltrates into the petrified Phoenix Egg, intricate patterns suddenly appear on the gray-brown shell surface, unlike a natural structure, more resembling an assembly of talismans, layer upon layer intricately spread out, eventually like a giant net, covering the entire Phoenix Egg surface.

Zheng Yi’s Innate Origin Divine Body is truly divine in disposition, sourced from Taiyue Divine Venerable’s creation talent, it’s the transformation birthed from his own Power of Origin while establishing the Incense Fire Divine Realm, capable of nurturing all things, accommodating the divine nature of all.

This divine pattern is uniquely his own, as the spirit infiltrates the petrified Phoenix Egg, the entire shell seems activated, influenced by a mysterious, vibrant force, gradually showing a trace of glow, undergoing a miraculous scene.

Such sensation is peculiar, like reversing heaven and earth, transforming death into life - a Great Creation, strands of glimmer emanate from the gray-brown Phoenix Egg surface, the previously gray stone shell, under the burning Heart Fire, slowly begins to change color, gradually revealing a hint of shades.

Like quartz stone after burning under fierce flames, left in a glaze state, releasing continuous rainbow glows under sunlight.

As time passes, Zheng Yi’s brows furrow ever more tightly, his pupils become transparent, powerful Divine Thought bursts forth, even he, with a slightly pale face, it’s a great mark of spiritual origin consumption.

Yet the continuous output of spirit never ceases, the rainbow-colored glaze becomes increasingly bright, and this illumination begins to spread around, gradually expanding its range, reflecting various lights, rendering the entire space dazzling with multicolors.

Zheng Yi had done so much preparation, and ultimately, what he sought was definitely not simply to refine this Phoenix Egg, but he had more objectives in mind.

The Phoenix Bloodline is special, possessing the power of Nirvana, which is an innate divinity.

And he practiced the Nirvana Technique of the Heaven-Repairing Dao, combined with the Heaven-Cutting Dao of the Heaven-Cutting Vine, and he had already forged his own path.

With the lofty guidance of Taiyue Divine Venerable, his journey in the Cultivation Realm was undoubtedly smoother, and according to Zheng Yi’s vision, what he aimed to do was evolve the divinity of all things, pushing the traits and characteristics of his innate Origin Divine Body to the highest level, thereby achieving Divinity Transformation.

Among this, the Nirvana Divinity of this Phoenix Egg was undoubtedly crucial.

In other words, even if Fan Xian’er succeeded in Nirvana and lived another life.

To refine the Phoenix Divinity, Zheng Yi, although not intending to harm Fan Xian’er, would probably visit Phoenix Cry Island, the legendary Phoenix Perch in the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm.

However, with Fan Xian’er’s failure now, it saved him a lot of effort.

After all, he and Fan Xian’er had an agreement from the beginning.

If her Nirvana failed, the ownership of the Phoenix Egg belonged to him.

However, to refine the Phoenix Egg, he first had to reawaken the divine power within the Phoenix Egg.

The Phoenix Egg, unlike ordinary creatures, as an ancestor of legendary True Spirit, its Nirvana Bloodline is very special, hovering between life and death, capable of Nirvana transformation.

Although Fan Xian’er had perished entirely, this left the Phoenix Egg in a state of dormancy, with its overall life force ceased.

Yet, in truth, such a Divine Object still retained a trace of divinity deep within, and what Zheng Yi needed to do was to reactivate that residual divine power hidden in the deepest part of the Phoenix Egg, thereby restoring its life force.

A day, two days...

Zheng Yi remained in the Cultivation Secret Room on Taihua Island, attempting to reawaken that trace of divinity in the Phoenix Egg required a considerably long process.

What he needed to do was to continuously temper it with the Divine Soul Fire, permeating his Spiritual Power into the Phoenix Egg, gradually awakening its instincts, and then replacing them, incorporating that trace of divinity into his Divine Body.

As the tempering process continued, Zheng Yi’s Spiritual Power endlessly permeated into the eggshell, the glazed sheen on the Phoenix Egg’s surface became increasingly bright, swirling into circles of flame-shaped brilliance, expanding across the whole, seeming as though it wouldn’t take long for the entire surface to transform into a jade-like azure shell.

Along with the changes in the outer shell, the previously lifeless, solidified interior of the Phoenix Egg also suddenly underwent a noticeable transformation.

The solidified interior began gradually melting, dividing into egg white and egg yolk, akin to Chaos initially opening, with clear air rising and turbid air sinking, a bit of active substance converting into liquid, slowly surging within.

Of course, at the very beginning, this change was imperceptible to the naked eye, with activity extremely faint, merely trace amounts of vitality circulating within the solidified interior, almost undetectable even by the most precise Magical Artifact.

Had it not been for Zheng Yi’s terrifyingly vast Divine Soul Power, this might not have been discovered at all.

"There’s a reaction?"

In fact, Zheng Yi did not have a bit of confidence in whether this petrified Phoenix Egg could be activated, everything he did relied solely on the Nirvana Technique.

After all, creatures like the Phoenix and True Dragon, those terrifying Divine Beasts, were exceedingly rare even in the Ancient Era of the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm.

The Phoenixes and True Dragons mentioned here were not the mixed-blood Flood Dragons of the Flood Dragon Demon Court, constantly cultivating, refining and transforming into Nascent Soul True Dragons, but pure-blooded creatures born of nature.

Such creatures, from the moment they were born, already surpassed the shackles of mundane bloodlines, being divinely-gifted species.

And the dragon nature is inherently lustful, leaving behind mixed-blood lineages, snakes and fish kinds.

But the phoenix nature is noble, leaving a much higher bloodline legacy.

Even the remaining mixed-blood phoenix birds are extremely rare, let alone the Phoenix Egg.

That is extraordinarily rare.

To obtain a well-preserved Phoenix Egg is as hard as reaching the sky.

Back then, Fan Xian’er, as one of the very few in existence with prominent Phoenix Bloodline, used the Nirvana Rebirth technique to seek vengeance, fully activating the Phoenix Blood in her body, incinerating everything, to evolve her own bloodline.

Unfortunately, after burning all, it was just a fleeting dream.

The path of cultivation is that cruel.

The Great Dao accomplishes the ancient to wither.

Fan Xian’er ultimately failed in Nirvana, thus leaving this Phoenix Egg, and according to their agreement at that time, if Nirvana hadn’t succeeded, Zheng Yi had the right to handle this Phoenix Egg.

Now, with Secret Technique, Zheng Yi refining this transformed Phoenix Egg can be considered fulfilling a wish for her.
