Chapter 197 Mysterious Bird Shadow
It is said that this Fire God Pond was left by a divine bird. It is like an active volcano, spewing out flames all day long. It is considered the most amazing sight in Daliang Li stared at the lava-like Vulcan Pool below him in a daze, and suddenly asked a question without any context:
"Do you think this legendary bird really exists?"
Everyone in the Fire God Sect looked at each other, not knowing what Lu Li meant by this.
An elder of the Fire God Sect said:
"Legends are just legends after all. None of us has ever seen it. The Fire God Pond has existed longer than our sect. It is hard to say whether there is a divine bird, the Phoenix, in this world."
"So I guess this place should be a secret place formed naturally by heaven and earth. It took countless tens of thousands of years to form such a Fire God Pool."
Lu Li nodded and said only one sentence:
"What the elder said is absolutely true."
But he was thinking:
"Is that really the case? The divine bird Phoenix never appeared in the original novel and only existed as a background. But the ending of the original novel only allowed Fang Pan to reach the ninth level and ascend to the upper world."
"If I dig deeper, there should be a lot of things in this world that I don't know about."
These ideas are just guesses. The most important thing now is to do well in the present.
Lu Li opened the Mountain and River Fan, and the little spirit of the weapon, still wearing a robe, jumped out from it.
"gentlemen!"
The little man bowed to Lu Li and looked towards the Fire God Pool below.
"Put this Fire God Pool into the Mountain and River Fan, and I will lend you a helping hand."
Lu Li gave the order and the little man nodded, muttering something, but no one knew what spell he was saying.
The Mountain and River Fan immediately grew larger, reaching a length and width of seventy to eighty feet, standing in the void. The fan with the mountain and river scenery painted on it faced the Fire God Pool.
Lu Li gently waved at the Fire God Pond, using his hand as a fan and activating the Sky Flame Wild Wind Art. Suddenly, a whirlwind blew up out of thin air on the surface of the Fire God Pond, and the water in the Fire God Pond also began to become restless, pulled by the wind, like a red spirit python drilling into the fan of mountains and rivers.
The scenery on the mountain and river fan also changed. A lake dotted with red appeared in the vast mountains and rivers composed of black and white ink.
"It is incredible that a Saint Realm expert could actually move the Fire God Pond in this way."
The elders standing by were all amazed when they saw it.
An elder with a sinister look said:
"Humph, isn't this considered robbery? This Fire God Pond is the foundation of our Fire God Sect. All our sect's skills rely on the Fire God Pond for cultivation! He's going to take it away with just a few words."
As soon as he finished speaking, the great elder in front of him turned around and slapped him in the face.
"Shut up! Do you want to have our sect expelled from the right path?"
The sinister elder was stunned, not knowing why he was slapped.
He felt that what he said was absolutely right, and his temper flared up, and he said:
"He took the Fire God Pool to save Chi Xiao. Let's not talk about whether it is possible to save him. Even if he does, can Chi Xiao still reach the level of enlightenment?"
The Great Elder's face was terribly gloomy. He slapped the sinister elder twice with his left and right hands.
"You bastard, do you know what's at stake? What kind of person is Mr. Lu now? After losing our leader, if our Fire God Sect still wants to gain a firm foothold in the righteous path of Daliang, then no matter what reason he uses to ask us for it, we have to give it to him!"
"You rejected him for some petty gains. The Fire God Pond was saved, but what about the future of the sect? He is the number one person in the Dongyuan Orthodox Sect. With his background, if we lose the Fire God Pond, we will get the Wind God Pond, the Moon God Pond, and the Thunder God Pond in return!"
Their voices were not loud, but they could not escape the ears of Lu Li who possessed the Ten Thousand Sounds Power.
Lu Li chuckled and just focused on collecting the water from the Vulcan Pond.
At this moment, the spirit of the Mountain River Fan suddenly jumped onto Lu Li's shoulder and said:
"Sir! There's something under this Vulcan Pond that I can't take away!"
Lu Li asked:
"Do you know what it is?" the little man replied:
"It's a few red feathers!"
Lu Li's eyes changed slightly, and a storm suddenly rose in his heart.
He turned his head to look at the people from the Fire God Sect, raised his hand and fanned it. The half remaining water in the Fire God Pond suddenly began to boil, spewing flames out.
Lu Li whispered:
"I seem to have encountered an accident while collecting this pool of water. Please evade it to avoid being accidentally injured."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether they believed Lu Li's words or not, and they all chose to leave.
Soon, Lu Li was the only one left by the Fire God Pool.
Lu Li increased the speed of pumping water from the pool. The water level of the Vulcan Pool continued to drop, and soon the bottom of the pool could be seen.
However, the less water there was in the pool, the more Lu Li could feel a restless fire force.
Just when the pool water was about to dry up, Lu Li suddenly heard a clear chirping sound next to his ear.
A bird shadow covered in flames leaped out of the pond and flew straight into the sky.
How could Lu Li let him go?
He grabbed with one hand, mobilized the power of heaven and earth, and at the same time uttered the word "Ding".
The bird shadow was immediately restrained by him. Just when Lu Li thought he was about to succeed, the bird shadow flapped its wings, raised its neck and cried.
Lu Li's body shook violently, and blood actually flowed from his ears.
At the same time, he felt a strange feeling of heat coming from his body. When he looked down, he found that his body had begun to spontaneously combust.
"This is... a relic left behind by an existence of unknown level. It contains the extremely pure great way of fire. Even I cannot resist it now!"
Lu Li was shocked, and at this critical moment he also discovered many of his shortcomings.
He lacked the means of defense to save his life, and he relied too much on the teahouse's invincible area.
The string of fame lit up again, and Lu Li shouted the word "extinguish" several times towards the flames burning on his body.
The Wan Yin Gong was amplified to an unprecedented level, and finally the flame on Lu Li's body gradually dimmed.
Lu Li was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. When he looked at the bird shadow again, his heart was filled with fear.
"This is definitely a good thing, but I don't know if I can afford it."
Lu Li didn't dare to act rashly again, for fear of a strange counterattack from the bird shadow.
"How can we balance such a great power?"
Lu Li racked his brains but couldn't think of a foolproof solution. Even if there was a feasible solution, he didn't dare to try it easily. After all, Bird Shadow's counterattack just now was too sharp.
"How about...try the way of heaven's secret?"
Lu Li thought about it and reached out for the Tianji Jade.
Although Tianji's clone is not around, he can also use the transformed Tianji Jade to make some simple deductions.
