Jiang Li then sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room.
He clutched the Phoenix Cry Divine Flower tightly in his hand.
The Phoenix Nirvana Scripture began to circulate, rapidly absorbing the power from the flower.
As the power of the Phoenix Cry Divine Flower was drawn in, a sharp phoenix cry seemed to emerge from within Jiang Li.
A phoenix dharma image appeared behind Jiang Li, and the entire cultivation room was bathed in a dazzling, multicolored light, exquisitely brilliant.
Several hours later.
The Phoenix Cry Divine Flower in Jiang Li's hand had completely withered, its spiritual essence entirely absorbed by him.
Phoenix power surged madly within Jiang Li's body, emitting a scorching red glow.
"Rumble!!!"
Before long, an extremely potent aura erupted from Jiang Li.
A powerful true phoenix spirit manifested within him.
Phoenix cries echoed incessantly within his body.
The seventh layer of the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture had been broken through!!!
Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes, which now pulsed with phoenix power, accompanied by the heat of swirling flames.
Finally, the seventh layer. Jiang Li was filled with joy.
Upon reaching the seventh layer, the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture was considered complete.
Its healing effect had reached an almost unbelievable level.
As long as one's life was not directly extinguished, recovery was swift, and even the regeneration of severed limbs was remarkably easy.
More importantly, at the seventh layer, the ultimate profound meaning of the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture had been mastered.
Phoenix Nirvana.
Phoenix Nirvana was an incredibly heaven-defying divine ability, capable of true, miraculous rebirth.
Now that Jiang Li had condensed a true phoenix spirit, if he were to die due to accident or conflict, he could be resurrected with the help of this spirit.
In essence, Jiang Li had gained a heaven-defying resurrection ability.
"This greatly increases my safety!" Jiang Li murmured to himself.
The true phoenix spirit within him provided an immense sense of security.
He hadn't expected the seventh layer of the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture to hide such a formidable divine ability.
With this ability, he wouldn't have to worry about his life even if something unexpected happened in the Dark Abyss.
If he were to go and contend for an Emperor Armament, he would likely be ready by then.
...
Within the palaces of the Divine Silkworm clan.
"Young Master Jiang, are you departing?" Elder Chu Tianchi asked Jiang Li gently.
A soul-soothing fragrance wafted through the palace.
Jiang Li nodded, then said, "Thank you for your care over these past few days, Elder Chu. If there's ever anything I can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!"
Although their assistance was due to Shen Meng's token, he had undeniably benefited greatly.
The Primordial Divine Grass and the Phoenix Cry Divine Flower, two incredibly important spiritual medicines to him.
Without the Divine Silkworm clan, he might have spent much longer searching for them.
"You are too kind, Young Master Jiang. It was merely a small gesture. This is a token of our Primordial Divine Silkworm clan. If you require any assistance, you may use this token to send a message," Chu Tianchi said, presenting a token.
Jiang Li nodded and accepted Chu Tianchi's token.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Chu Tianchi, Jiang Li departed from the Divine Silkworm clan.
...
A valley filled with blue spiritual light.
"Divine Maiden, Young Master Jiang has already left!" a graceful maid said softly from one side of the valley.
Beside her stood an exquisite woman in a light blue dress, her expression somewhat somber as she gazed at the various exotic flowers and plants in the valley.
"I know!" Chu Xuan nodded, her eyes clouded with an unshakeable melancholy.
"Divine Maiden, since you hold him in your heart, why not..." the maid couldn't help but ask, seeing Chu Xuan's dejected state.
A gentle breeze stirred, carrying a subtle fragrance that lifted the woman's skirt, making her appear incredibly beautiful.
"Yu'er, Young Master Jiang is different from us. He has important matters to attend to. My personal feelings should not disrupt his path!"
Chu Xuan's mind replayed the words of the Great Elder from yesterday.
"Divine Maiden, the Great Elder requests your presence!"
Just then, a respectful voice called out from not far away.
...
Primordial Divine Mountain.
Jiang Li was speeding outwards.
The Nightmare Beast perched on his shoulder, recounting tales of the Dark Abyss.
Along the way, he encountered numerous exotic beasts and fierce creatures, all of whom were forcefully crushed under Jiang Li's ferocious onslaught.
Soon, Jiang Li reached the outer perimeter of the Primordial Divine Mountain.
The suppression of the rules of heaven and earth lessened considerably at the mountain's outskirts.
Jiang Li could feel his mental energy and spiritual power slowly flowing.
Something felt off here. As he reached the periphery, Jiang Li suddenly felt a sense of oppressive silence in the surrounding environment.
What was usually a noisy outer area was now terrifyingly quiet.
The jungle and the sky were vast and empty, devoid of any life.
Jiang Li remembered that when he entered, the jungle and sky had been teeming with birds and various strange animals.
Now, they were all gone...
"Little brat, did you kill my Qianqian!" At this moment, a hoarse voice echoed in Jiang Li's ear.
From the jungle at the outskirts, a group of massive Primordial Demon Race figures slowly emerged.
Leading them was a tall, imposing old man with a stern face.
[Name]: Yuan Shan
[Realm]: Supreme Realm Eighth Heaven
[Bloodline]: Primordial Demonic Ape Bloodline
[Destiny]: Quasi-Emperor Potential (Purple), Overlord (Purple), Primordial Demon Race (Purple).
[Life Script]: Supporting character in "Chaos Emperor," Third Elder of the Primordial Demonic Ape Clan in the Primordial Divine Mountain.
[Favorability]: -99
[Recent Turn of Events]: None.
...
A top-tier great demon at the Eighth Heaven of the Supreme Realm. Jiang Li's eyes narrowed. An elder from the Primordial Demonic Ape clan.
The numerous warriors from the Demonic Ape clan behind this elder were also extremely powerful, mostly Great Sage level demons.
Yang Qianqian, could it be someone related to that Yang Qianqian?
"What are you talking about? I don't understand," Jiang Li said calmly.
With no bloodline mark on his person at the moment, Jiang Li wouldn't admit to anything based solely on this man's words.
"Little brat, do you think the Divine Silkworm clan's protection makes me afraid to act against you? My Primordial Demonic Ape clan never needs evidence. If I say it's you, then it's you!" Yuan Shan continued, his eyes filled with ferocity.
The numerous Primordial Demonic Ape clan warriors behind him also stared at Jiang Li with fierce gazes.
"Go, capture this fellow for me! I will torture him relentlessly, letting him sink into extreme pain for eternity!" Yuan Shan commanded, dispatching his subordinates to apprehend Jiang Li.
Immediately, Yuan Shan's subordinates surged towards Jiang Li in unison.
Fierce auras circulated incessantly in the surroundings.
