Chapter 1333: Smooth
In the eyes of Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix, Su Zimo saw a look of reverence and anticipation.
However, for some reason, a strange feeling rose in his heart.
He shook his head. “She left a long time ago.”
“Left? She hasn’t returned all these years?”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix asked again.
At the side, Mo Ying looked hopeful as well.
Su Zimo shook his head.
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix was disappointed and said regrettably, “I went out to explore and was not on the island that day, so I did not manage to meet that senior. I was in awe when I heard the descriptions from the cultivators on the island. To think that I would never get the chance to witness the grandeur of that senior again. What a pity.”
He swept his gaze across Su Zimo and changed the topic with a smile. “If I’m not wrong, Brother Long Mo, you can’t be considered as a human anymore, right?”
Normally, the bloodline of the Dragon True Body would be hidden and dormant, flowing slowly without revealing any demonic qi.
However, Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix was indeed sharp and noticed something unusual.
Su Zimo nodded and did not lie.
Divine Phoenix Island was one of the two islands and was a super faction of the cultivation world. It was ranked alongside the nine immortal sects, seven fiend sects and six Buddhist monasteries and there were many experts on the island—this matter could not be hidden for sure!
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix smiled. “Brother Long Mo, don’t worry. Divine Phoenix Island isn’t like the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects that can’t tolerate fiend demons.”
“Divine Phoenix Island accepts all the different races and not all the cultivators on this island are humans either. There are also millions of demons, beasts, fishes, turtles and sea monsters. All living beings are equal and we treat everyone equally.”
“Oh?”
Su Zimo was shocked.
Among the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects, there was only a single identity for demons to exist—they were reared by humans as mounts or spirit beasts.
No sect would accept a demon as their successor!
Killing demons was the mission and self-proclaimed purpose of many orthodox cultivators.
That was also the reason why many sects and factions attacked Su Zimo brazenly in the name of slaying evil!
In fact, many sects even disregarded their dignity and sent cultivators one or two major cultivation realms above Su Zimo to kill him at any cost.
Su Zimo had not expected that there would be such a faction in the cultivation world that would accommodate the ten thousand races.
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix slanted his body slightly and whispered to Su Zimo in a mysterious manner, “To be honest, Brother Long Mo, although I was originally a human, half of the blood that flows through my body right now isn’t from the human race either.”
“Haha,”
Su Zimo exchanged glances and smiled. Their relationship seemed to have gotten closer.
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix was smooth and experienced. Although he was a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure, he did not put on any airs at all and had an ability to make people lower their guard and trust him.
However, for some reason…
The impression that Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix gave Su Zimo was inferior to Mo Ying who was silent at the side.
It was as though Mo Ying was more down to earth.
Of course, it was only logical for Su Zimo to be wary of anyone since he had just arrived at Divine Phoenix Island and was unfamiliar with the place.
“Brother Long Mo, how’s your body recovering?”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix asked again.
Su Zimo smiled. “I’m fine now.”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix burst into laughter. “That’s perfect. Let me call the shots to take you around Divine Phoenix Island and show you the sights of the place as well as introduce you to the culture here. How about that, Brother Long Mo?”
Initially, Su Zimo wanted to pay a visit to the Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island. However, he could not reject the enthusiasm of Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix and nodded in agreement.
It was good to explore Divine Phoenix Island as well and to have a rough understanding of it.
It wouldn’t be too late to visit the Island Master of Divine Phoenix Island thereafter.
“Brother Long Mo, please!”
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix opened the door and made an inviting gesture.
“I wouldn’t dare. Senior Heavenly Phoenix, please.”
Su Zimo gave way.
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix no longer pushed back and left the room first. Without much effort, he floated and arrived in midair.
Su Zimo and Mo Ying followed closely behind.
After leaving the room, a damp and salty smell wafted over. It was the smell of seawater and the roaring sounds in his ears were even clearer.
Arriving in midair, Su Zimo looked over and could not help but reveal a look of shock.
They hovered above a gigantic island that spanned a thousand kilometers and was extremely huge!
However, such a vast island seemed extremely tiny against the boundless and magnificent ocean surface.
Su Zimo had seen the spirit sea before and comprehended the Dao within.
He had also seen the Thousand Year Blood Sea and encountered fatal danger within!
However, up till this point of his cultivation, this was the first time he had seen a truly massive ocean—it was much more majestic than any spirit sea or the Thousand Year Blood Sea!
The waves rumbled loudly.
The deep blue surface of the ocean rose with massive waves surging over. Beneath the surface of the ocean, countless sea monsters, fiend demons and terrifying threats lurked.
Everything aside, the might of the ocean was enough to shock one’s heart!
A thought flashed through Su Zimo’s mind as he gazed at the ocean—he had a new understanding of the Tidal Manual and Sea Calming Manual.
Mo Ying noticed this and nodded to herself.
This was a state of enlightenment. If it lasted for a long time, it would provide unimaginable benefits to one’s cultivation!
Many cultivators underwent breakthroughs of minor or even major cultivation realms in their state of enlightenment!
“Brother Long Mo, look over there!”
Right then, Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix nudged Su Zimo gently and pointed into the distance with a smile. “Those are the guards of Divine Phoenix Island. There are not only humans, but also demons as well.”
With that nudge from Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix, Su Zimo snapped out of his state of enlightenment.
Mo Ying frowned in pity.
She did not think that Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix did it intentionally. However, a state of enlightenment was rare. Now that Su Zimo was awake, she did not know when he would be able to enter the same state again.
Su Zimo was expressionless.
Actually, his enlightenment state earlier on was very shallow and the things he comprehended were limited as well.
Even without the disruption of the Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix, it was impossible for him to break through from the Dharma Characteristic realm and enter the Conjoint Body realm.
Following the gaze of the Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix, Su Zimo saw a group of cultivators riding on gigantic seabirds patrolling around Divine Phoenix Island.
Every cultivator was at the Nascent Soul realm!
Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix led Su Zimo forward, as though he was completely oblivious to everything that happened earlier on and continued to introduce the culture of Divine Phoenix Island.
When the three of them passed by the Divine Phoenix Island guards, the latter all descended from the seabirds and bowed respectfully at the sight of Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix.
One could sense that Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix had an extremely high status in Divine Phoenix Island!
Right then, Mighty Figure Heavenly Phoenix said in a seemingly casual manner, “Mo Ying, there’s nothing much. You can go on with your work first. It’s enough for me to accompany Brother Long Mo.”
Mo Ying hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. “It’s fine. I’m the Saber Attendant of Divine Phoenix Island and I have nothing much to do. I’ll just accompany the two of you.”
