Chapter 702 - 184: Alliance Hypothesis, Attack on the Giant Shell Holy Land
Ning Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
The reason the previous four great dynasties each held their territories was because none would submit to the others.
After all, an alliance necessitates a leader.
Who would be willing to submit to someone else?
So, is the mention of an alliance now suggesting that the Phoenix Race has directly subdued the other two clans?
The Black Tortoise Race aside, the White Tiger Race is the most belligerent of them all; even the Dragon Race finds it difficult to completely subdue them.
After all, the saying "fight between dragon and tiger" isn't baseless.
The Phoenix and Black Tortoise Races both dislike conflict.
The Dragon and Tiger Races are constantly at war, with neither willing to yield to the other.
"You are..." Ning Zheng said, "planning to compete for the leadership of the Four Seas Alliance?"
"Yes."
Phoenix Yi responded indifferently, "This era belongs to our Phoenix Race. Our entire race are Pseudo-Ghost Kings, do you know what that means?"
"According to the Immortal Techniques declared by the Xin Dynasty Emperor, a Ghost King has the means to reshape spiritual roots," Ning Zheng said. "Your Phoenix Race is comprised entirely of the most perfect cultivators with Immortal Spirit Roots."
"Yes."
"The moment the Immortal Techniques were declared, our entire race could instantly upgrade to Immortal Spirit Roots."
"Now, all seven phoenixes in our race have completed their upgrade."
"We have those with the Five Elements Cycle Immortal Spirit Root, and those with the Yin Yang Cycle Immortal Spirit Root as well!"
A hundred years ago, from the moment Xin Xichen released the Dharma Method, the Phoenix Race began preparing to break through to the Immortal Spirit Root.
They even connected with the Human Race's first Spirit Farmer dynasty, Doukou, to help determine which five or two spiritual roots should be paired together, otherwise they could easily break through at will.
Not long ago, with the help of Doukou's family, they completed the breakthrough thoroughly, and each one became an Immortal Phoenix with extremely powerful divine techniques!
Yin Yang Phoenix, Five Elements Phoenix!
And what about the other Divine Beasts?
They are basically still at the Celestial Spirit Root level, and have not reached that extent of breakthrough yet.
The only breakthrough is the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, and that was a forcibly induced temporary breakthrough to a Pseudo-Ghost King, but due to significant weaknesses, he's currently in hiding, which is far from the complete and natural breakthrough of the seven true Ghost Kings of the Phoenix Seven.
As we know.
Previously, the Phoenix Race had only seven members, yet they dominated one sea, because all seven were in the Self-Transformation Realm, and among the strongest!
The seven phoenixes, compared to the Nine Great Dragon Emperors led by the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, are not inferior in overall strength!
However, the entire Phoenix Race consists of only seven, while under the command of the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor, there lies a vast middle force of young dragon clans...
And now, with their seven Immortal Phoenix, who in the Four Seas can withstand them?
The Phoenix Race may appear to be the most sensible, as they used to dislike warfare because it risked population decline.
Because the Dragon Clan could endure the demise of the Nine Great Dragon Emperors and wait for the young generation, but once the Seven Phoenixes die, they are essentially gone... even the sparsely populated Dragon Race dares to exchange one for one with the Phoenix Race.
Sacrificing one era's nine Dragon Emperors basically allows for replacing the Phoenix Race.
Thus, the Phoenix Race used to be cautious and hesitant.
But now, it is no longer the time for the peace-loving Phoenix Race to remain in hiding. They are not foolish; not trying to seize, is equivalent to waiting for death!
Thus.
Having become the first to break through as an Immortal Path race, she recently took a trip alone to the White Tiger and Black Tortoise Races, "reasoned" with them, leading to their submission.
Immortal Beasts, Divine Beasts, they are not on the same level!
Only the last faction remains: the East Sea Dynasty.
But in her view, this dynasty is not an issue at all.
And just as she imagined.
Ning Zheng expressed, what does this have to do with me?
Ning Zheng said, "This matter, I cannot decide. The decision lies with the Giant Shell Holy Land."
"I know about this matter; my true form has already taken a trip to the Giant Shell Holy Land."
The Phoenix smiled.
The combat circles handle combat, unrelated to the neutral circles.
Whoever wins, the blacksmiths and spirit farmers will serve as Tributors to them.
This person in charge before us is a neutral profession, serving whoever wins.
"Sir, have some tea." At this moment, a few Bone Demon Lolitas approached.
"Alright."
Phoenix Yi took the teacup, sipping lightly, revealing a slight smile, "Good tea."
"Only by uniting the Four Seas do we have a chance to weather the catastrophe." Phoenix Yi showed a hint of seriousness. "The birth of the National Guardian Immortal Artifact before us is truly formidable."
"You are too kind."
Ning Zheng nodded, accompanying the guest to sip tea, pondering the current strength of the Phoenix Race.
The Phoenix is reputed for the strongest life force; integrating the Five Cycle Immortal Spirit Root should not be an issue.
So, the Phoenix should be the first race to perfectly break through to the Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root.
After all, it's only been a hundred years.
Even the formidable Xin Xichen next door hasn't researched the Five Elements Spirit Root technology; they still have only Dual Cycle Immortal Spirit Roots!
The Phoenix do not require the unstudied Five Elements Cycle technology; they just forcibly push through!
Dead?
Resurrect, awaken, and push through again.
Emphasizing brute force.
Without technology, relying entirely on Resurrection Coins.
Given this scenario, the Phoenix Race's overall strength may indeed be the first in the Nine-States.
Ning Zheng sighed in his heart, "Xin Xichen, please step up, hurry up and research the Five Elements Cycle technology... We're all counting on you."
If it's truly impossible, I will have to rely on Qi Fortune Value, emulate the Phoenix, and forcibly advance into the Five Elements Cycle Immortal Spirit Root, achieving the Seven Colors Spirit Root accomplishment.
But this consumes too much Qi Fortune Value.
Ning Zheng is a patient party, waiting to see if Xin Xichen's technology develops.
Moreover.
He hasn't found suitable Five Elements Spirit Roots yet.
The Yin Attribute is the mysterious Shadow Crocodile, the Yang Attribute is the strongest ancient Human God, and the other five attributes should also be the strongest, right?
He has OCD, and won't accept anything less than the best!
His gaze fell upon the Phoenix Race, "The Phoenix Race mostly has Fire Attributes, with other variations of Fire Attributes... I can get something with fire from them."
The Baptism of Fire is somewhat powerful.
And over at the Black Tortoise? The Water Spirit Root, counterattack, can be obtained trying.
The White Tiger is stacking attack, growing stronger with battle, can also be observed for a time.
But most desired is the Phoenix before him.
Others are just ordinary, if possible, I'd stack the White Tiger, Black Tortoise ancestors, and emerging super White Tiger, super Black Tortoise divine techniques, upgrade and take away.
Meanwhile, Ning Zheng considered that Phoenix Yi should at this moment be attacking the Giant Shell Holy Land and several surrounding Holy Lands, with Giant Shell Holy Land located in the Ten Thousand Feet Sea Abyss, as is he...
Giant Shell Holy Land being battered, surely experiencing heavy losses, defenses shattering, isn't it possible to sneak in, and gain a stroke of autumn wind?
He immediately ordered them to sense the ocean's fluctuations around them.
The Ten Thousand Feet Sea Abyss is immense and dark, hidden away, impossible to pinpoint.
But if battle breaks out, the tremors will act as beacons in the night, enough to locate the Giant Shell Holy Land.
...
Sword Casting Manor.
At this moment, all the deployable combat power is out.
"Food God, have you detected anything over there?"
"No."
"Then keep heading east."
Food God, Sun Moon Su Yuniang, the only two considered as masters, each dispatch their dharma aspects to secretly sense where combat vibrations occur.
"Oh shoot, I've sensed it!" Food God suddenly sent the message.
"Nice! Matchmaker Food God, since something unexpected arose, we can exploit it a bit."
"How do you plan to do it?"
"Ancient schemer, appears, the first behind the scenes boss emerges."
"Huh?"
"Send me the Giant Shell Ancestor's appearance and character traits."
"Got it," Food God said.
Sun Moon Su Yuniang revealed a slight smile, "I want to become their ancestor, the ancient schemer behind the scenes, and harshly teach these disappointing descendants a lesson."
