Chapter 566: Ten Thousand Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruits!
Qingshan nodded and said, “Since that day, the Heavenly Phoenix clan gradually faded from existence, and the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit never appeared again. This is the first ti in my entire life that I’ve seen it with my own eyes!”
“Don’t worry,” Gu He said. “Although Zi Yan’s cultivation isn’t especially eye-catching among the Ancient Void Dragon clan, she already possesses the foundation needed to absorb the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. I’ll supervise the entire process myself. If anything goes wrong and she’s unable to refine it, I’ll step in to assist.”
“With your confidence, we’re reassured,” Qingshan nodded. He knew very well that Gu He would never do anything to harm his disciple. If he had decided to let Zi Yan refine the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, it ant he was confident in its success.
“Master,” Zi Yan said solemnly, “don’t worry. I’ll give it everything I have to absorb the fruit’s power. I won’t waste a single bit of it.”
“Good! Prepare yourself—we begin the refinent today,” Gu He nodded.
...
Very soon, Zi Yan was escorted by Gu He, Qingshan, and the others to the altar inside the Dragon Sovereign Hall.
“Zi Yan, begin.”
Gu He lifted the golden-purple liquid energy—refined from the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit—with his soul power and placed it in front of Zi Yan.
Seeing this, Zi Yan, seated cross-legged on the altar, opened her small mouth.
A wave of suction pulled the gold-purple liquid directly into her belly.
At that very mont, in Gu He’s mind, a system prompt suddenly echoed.
“Ding! Detected that the host has gifted the fifth disciple Zi Yan a Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. Congratulations! You have received a ten-thousand-fold return—1,0000 Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruits!”
“One thousand Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruits have been delivered to the system storage space. Host, please check.”
“One... thousand... Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruits?!”
Gu He’s expression froze.
A thousand Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruits—what kind of concept was that?
As Qingshan and Zhuli had just said, this fruit had appeared only a handful of tis in the entire history of the Ancient Void Dragon clan. Only two had ever been successfully absorbed—and both tis, they had given rise to peerless powerhouses.
And now, with the system’s return, Gu He had obtained a thousand of them in one go.
Even if the success rate was only one percent, distributing these fruits across the Ancient Void Dragon clan would yield terrifying results.
Once soone awakened the Ancient Dragon-Phoenix bloodline, as long as they didn’t die prematurely, their future as a top-tier powerhouse would be guaranteed.
Even those who didn’t awaken the full bloodline but absorbed part of the fruit’s energy would still experience an overwhelming boost in strength.
At this mont, Gu He’s mind was running at full speed, calculating how best to use the thousand Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruits.
On the altar, the golden-purple energy was already flowing through Zi Yan’s body.
She sensed the massive wave of power and imdiately activated her cultivation thod, trying to absorb it into her ridians, flesh, and bones.
However, the sheer magnitude of this energy far exceeded her expectations.
It was many tis greater than even the energy Gu He had transferred to her before.
As the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit’s energy spread through her body, Zi Yan’s refinent speed quickly fell behind the speed at which the energy was surging through her.
Before long, strange crystalline layers, shimring like ice crystals, began to form within Zi Yan’s body.
Due to these strange formations, the speed at which Zi Yan could circulate her cultivation thod sharply dropped.
This triggered a chain reaction.
The crystalline layers began to multiply rapidly, and in just a short while, they had spread enough to cause Zi Yan’s consciousness to grow hazy.
“The energy from the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit is simply too vast. The Dragon Sovereign’s refinent speed can’t keep up with its rate of penetration!”
Down below the altar in the great hall, Qingshan and the others wore visible expressions of concern as they witnessed this scene.
“She’s still just a bit short of what’s needed…”
Gu He had also noticed the problem.
In the next mont, a surge of violet fla erupted from his body.
Seeing Gu He summon his natal divine fla, Qingshan and the others imdiately understood what he intended.
These Dragon-Phoenix crystalline layers—ford from the energy of the fruit—could only be counteracted by heaven-and-earth treasures like Heavenly Flas.
Monts later, under the watchful gaze of Qingshan, Zhuli, and Zhu Mo, Gu He’s soul power surged outward, wrapping around the violet fla as he carefully guided it toward the unconscious Zi Yan seated on the altar.
Even with the fla tightly sealed by Gu He’s soul power, the temperature within the hall began to rise steadily.
After adjusting the fla’s intensity, Gu He directed a wisp of the divine fire into Zi Yan’s body.
Inside, the Dragon-Phoenix crystalline layers began to emit faint, peculiar glimrs. The glowing crystal light flowed like a liquid, radiating a terrifying energy that made the heart tremble.
The violet fla wrapped in Gu He’s soul power made direct contact with the solidified crystalline layers.
At first, there was no reaction. The crystal didn’t show any signs of lting.
But Gu He remained calm.
He had intentionally suppressed the fla’s power earlier to avoid harming Zi Yan. In fact, he hadn’t even released one-tenth of its full strength.
Now, having tested the reaction, he began to raise the temperature.
As the divine fire grew hotter, faint hissing sounds erged where it touched the crystals.
And finally, under the intense contact, the impossibly tough crystalline energy began to soften.
A droplet of violet-golden liquid slowly erged at the point of contact.
“The Dragon-Phoenix crystals are lting!”
Though tiny, that droplet didn’t escape the eyes of Qingshan and the others. Suppressed but joyous voices rang out instantly.
“Whew…”
Grand Elder Qingshan quietly exhaled. The tightly clenched fist in his sleeve slowly loosened.
This was just the first step, but it proved Gu He’s fla was capable of lting the Dragon-Phoenix crystalline layers.
And that was already a trendous success.
If they simply maintained this, it was only a matter of ti before all the crystalline layers were completely lted away.
After confirming the optimal temperature, Gu He separated ten more wisps of violet fla, wrapping them carefully in soul power and guiding each into different parts of Zi Yan’s body.
