Chapter 89: The Heavenly Demon Pool Quota! The Arrogant Young Phoenix King!
Chapter 89: The Heavenly Demon Pool Quota! The Arrogant Young Phoenix King!
"Domain Lord, no!"
One of the Little Immortal Sect's elders blanched, exclaiming, "Though the demon race's Ten Thousand Li Mountains are a valuable asset, the blessings of the Ancient Era must not be easily given to them!"
The Ancient Stone Carvings are relics from the Ancient Era, recording the top hundred most talented individuals every ten thousand years.
The higher the ranking, the greater the rewards.
The top ten prodigies receive the Ancient Blessing, which grants them unimaginable treasures.
However, the Ancient Blessing is not unlimited; it requires time to recover and replenish.
If the Young Phoenix King's talent only secured him a place in the top hundred, the trade for the Ten Thousand Li Mountains would be fair enough.
But this is the bloodline of the Ancient Phoenix! He would undoubtedly rank in the top ten!
The Ancient Blessing is an extremely precious treasure. How can we allow the demon race to obtain it?
"Domain Lord, regardless of how precious the Ancient Blessing is, today is not the day to let the demon race cause trouble."
Miao Ba looked at Su Nan, his expression grave, and said, "Today is the founding day of the Little Immortal Sect. If a demon race member takes the top spot, our Southern Domain's reputation will be ruined."
Today, although the attendees are all top prodigies of the Southern Domain, who has the confidence to absolutely surpass the Young Phoenix King?
The bloodline of the Ancient Phoenix is comparable to the divine bodies of the human race. At the very least, no one in the current generation of young prodigies can match him.
It's not that the vast Southern Domain lacks someone who can rival the Young Phoenix King. The issue is that the establishment of the Little Immortal Sect is unique.
No sect or power is foolish enough to send their most precious talents away.
As a result, the overall talent of the Little Immortal Sect's disciples surpasses any other sect in the Southern Domain.
However, when it comes to the absolute top-tier, the most monstrous talents, there is not a single one.
Thus, if the Young Phoenix King were to participate, he would undoubtedly overshadow all the human race's young generation!
Moreover, today is the founding day of the Little Immortal Sect, and many are watching.
If the Southern Domain's premier sect is suppressed by a demon race member on its first day, the news would spread across the Five Domains within a day, causing Su Nan to lose face.
...
"Did you hear that?"
Su Nan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Great Phoenix King, saying coolly, "Though the Ten Thousand Li Mountains are valuable, they are not enough."
Upon hearing these words, the Great Phoenix King's eyes lit up instead of showing disappointment.
He wasn't afraid of Su Nan setting conditions; he was afraid of a flat-out rejection.
"Ten thousand holy herbs, ten vials of Great Demon blood!"
"Not enough."
"Ten premium spirit veins, three rare mineral veins!"
"Not enough."
"Add a hundred Ancient Divine Beasts!"
"Not enough."
Listening to the bargaining between Su Nan and the Great Phoenix King, the Little Immortal Sect's members' eyes twitched.
Holy herbs, Great Demon blood, and various mineral veins—each of these items is worth a fortune.
It's often said that the demon race's resources far exceed those of the human race, and today they have witnessed it firsthand.
"Su Nan!"
After a series of conditions, the Great Phoenix King's golden eyes flashed with a sharp light, "These items could buy ten divine techniques. Don't you think you're being too greedy?"
Beside him, the Young Phoenix King, who had been holding back, now looked up at Su Nan, his body radiating golden light, his eyes like cold stars, "Why beg him?"
"Give me ten years! Even without the Ancient Blessing, I will slay him under my golden wings!"
Upon hearing these words, the human race hadn't reacted, but the Great Phoenix King's expression suddenly changed.
Boom!
A terrifying and violent pressure descended, causing the space where the demon race stood to collapse.
"Chirp!"
A loud cry echoed as the Great Phoenix King transformed into his true form, a ten-thousand-foot-tall Golden-Winged Phoenix, spreading its vast wings to protect the demon race members.
Even so, the Young Phoenix King still let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The Great Phoenix King returned to his human form, casting a dark look at Su Nan but saying nothing more.
Instead, he turned to the Young Phoenix King and said coldly, "After we return to the clan, go to the forbidden area and accept your punishment!"
He could berate Su Nan and even shout at him, but that didn't mean his son could do the same.
A Near-Emperor must be respected, regardless of race.
The Young Phoenix King was unwilling, but seeing the sharp gaze in his father's eyes, he turned away and remained silent.
"Prodigies often have a bit of a temper. It's normal."
Su Nan didn’t even glance at the Young Phoenix King. Instead, he looked at the Great Phoenix King with a half-smile. "His uncles were quite arrogant as well."
The Great Phoenix King felt a chill run down his spine as he met Su Nan's eyes.
He still had no idea what kind of constitution or lineage Su Nan possessed, but he knew that even the ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodline might not be a match for him.
Not to mention, even if the Young Phoenix King were at his peak, he wouldn’t stand a chance against this man.
A Quasi-Emperor from the demon race once remarked that if Su Nan had been born in a different era, he could have become an emperor.
"New calves aren’t afraid of tigers."
The Great Phoenix King looked at the defiant Young Phoenix King and shook his head. Then, he turned to Su Nan. "My sincerity is more than enough. Now, state your conditions!"
"But if they are too excessive, I will take my people and leave. In a few days, it won’t be just my clan coming."
The Great Phoenix King wasn’t worried that Su Nan wouldn’t agree. The barrier had been broken, and the demon race could attack at any time. The location of the Lesser Immortal Sect meant it would be the first to face the brunt of the attack.
If not for the fear of escalating the situation, he wouldn’t have offered those conditions.
And Su Nan was well aware of this.
His recent negotiations with the Great Phoenix King were merely to maximize their benefits.
After all, establishing the Lesser Immortal Sect had consumed a vast amount of resources. When a wealthy benefactor came along, it was only natural to take full advantage of the opportunity.
"The things you mentioned are enough to buy a testing slot."
Su Nan looked at the Great Phoenix King and smiled lightly. "But they aren’t enough to buy the face of a Domain Lord."
Anyone could see that if the Young Phoenix King participated in the test, he would undoubtedly outshine everyone else. This would be a significant blow to Su Nan’s prestige, as he had founded the sect.
The face of a Domain Lord was still quite valuable.
"Conditions!"
The Great Phoenix King’s eyes flashed with determination.
Ever since his two brothers were killed by Su Nan, he had been waiting for the chance to exact his revenge.
After so many years, that moment had finally arrived!
"Let’s see, your clan’s Heavenly Demon Pool should be opening soon, right?"
Su Nan’s casual words caused all the demons present to change expression.
The Heavenly Demon Pool was the greatest treasure of the Golden-Winged Great Phoenix Clan, containing the essence blood of countless great demons and even the lineage of the demon race.
Anyone who entered the Heavenly Demon Pool would see a significant improvement in their innate talent and potential, making it a sacred place in the vast demon race. However, the resources required to open the pool were enormous, and it only opened once every hundred years, making the slots extremely precious.
Calculating the time, it was less than three months until the next opening.
"I want ten slots." Su Nan said calmly.
"Impossible!"
The Great Phoenix King refused without hesitation. "While the Heavenly Demon Pool belongs to my clan, the resources required to maintain and cultivate it are immense, and other demon clans are involved as well."
"Even our clan must fight and compete for the slots. How can I simply give them to you?"
He looked at Su Nan and continued, "I can give you ten slots for the competition, and you can compete fairly with my demon race."
"Win, and you can enter the Heavenly Demon Pool freely. Lose, and you have no one to blame but yourself."
Before Su Nan could respond, one of the demons couldn’t hold back and spoke up, "Clan Leader, no human has ever entered the Heavenly Demon Pool. If we allow—"
Before the demon could finish, the Great Phoenix King barked, "Silence! I know what I’m doing!"
It was just competition slots; the Heavenly Demon Pool wasn’t that easy to enter.
"Activate the Ancient Stone Carvings and let this young phoenix enter."
After a moment of contemplation, Su Nan spoke.
An elder sighed and nodded, then turned and left.
Seeing the immense cost for just one slot, the Young Phoenix King let out a fierce roar, transforming into his ten-story-tall Golden-Winged Great Phoenix form. With a powerful flap of his wings, he soared toward the Lesser Immortal Sect.
"Human!"
The Young Phoenix King’s sharp, golden eyes scanned the platform, filled with anger and determination. "I will crush all of you and avenge my father!"
