Chapter 67 - Brilliant Light Sparrow, Phoenix Bloodline!
“Chirp!” A bird that was almost one meter long flew out of the light cocoon. On its body were interweaved green and white feathers that looked like high-quality silk brocade. It was burning with a faint glow of a flame.
Its head was like a peacock with a red feather crown that was two fingers long. The crown swayed slightly in the flame, looking very beautiful.
When it spread its wings, its green and white interwoven wings had strands of red patterns like fine threads. They were like flowing blood, mysterious and resplendent, and seemed to contain some kind of power!
The two long plumes hung on its tail and swayed gently like willow branches, full of spirituality.
Compared to its previous green sparrow appearance, whether it was the feather crown, wings, tail, claws, or even its entire body, it had changed a lot.
Wang Ye looked at it and saw that the foolishness in the bird’s green eyes didn’t seem to have changed much.
Therefore, he could still see the green sparrow’s shadow in this all-transformed bird.
Of course, its aura had changed.
It now had a holy and pure aura that gave off a flame-like fierce and fearless feeling.
Yes, it seemed to have become even braver.
The aura of fire was fierce and brave, to begin with.

“What kind of species is this...” The ancient tung tree spirit was stunned, “This looks like a phoenix but not a phoenix, like a sparrow but not a sparrow... Just the phoenix bloodline shouldn’t have helped it to evolve so quickly. After all, everything has a process. Besides, its path of evolution doesn’t seem to follow the path that the crimson flame phoenix took back then.”
“Is this the path of evolution that you humans studied?” The ancient tung tree spirit looked at Wang Ye.
“Yes, yes,” Wang Ye nodded, “Senior, what do you think?”
The ancient tung tree spirit pondered for a few seconds and praised, “It’s very impressive. It has inherited the bloodline power of the crimson flame phoenix, as shown by the patterns on its crown and wings. But at the same time, it also emits a bright and majestic holy feeling. As such, it should have a very strong restraining effect on those strange gods since it possesses a very rare power of light. On top of that, there is an abnormally holy flame in its body that has fused both fire and light. Since it has merged with the crimson flame phoenix’s soul flame, its power will rise to a higher level.”
“I’ve never seen a phoenix that possesses the power of light. I didn’t expect the declining Dongli Country to be able to develop such an evolutionary path. It’s really amazing. Unfortunately, this route is probably only achievable once. That’s because the flame is a spiritual fire of Heaven and Earth. It’s hard to find another in the world. But to be able to develop such a route, the person must be a genius.”
Wang Ye coughed, feeling rather ashamed.
This route was completely created through the “deaths” of the green sparrow in the script simulation.
In terms of research, he didn’t know anything about the matching of material attributes, research proportions, and so on.
It was all through trial and error...
Added with some deduction from the simulations and a little bit of luck, only then was he able to create such an evolution path...
That being said, Xiao Jiu had died in the script simulation when evolving so many times, it was normal for it to undergo Nirvana in the real world.
“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu flew to Wang Ye’s side and proudly flapped its wings.
Was it good-looking?
Wang Ye walked over and carefully observed it up close. He fell into deep thought, “You’ve already evolved, why is your call still like this?”
As he said this, Wang Ye wanted to touch Xiao Jiu’s feathers, but the second he attempted to do so, he felt that his hand was almost cooked by the heat.
He subconsciously retracted his hand.
A faint flame was still burning on the surface of Xiao Jiu’s body.
The mysterious flame, which was a mixture of pure gold and platinum, was burning at a fatal temperature.
“It’s that hot?” Wang Ye was stunned.
Good Lord, it has evolved and now can’t be touched?
Xiao Jiu immediately let out an angry cry and flapped its wings, trying to extinguish the flame on its body.
In the end, the flames became bigger instead.
“It has just evolved, so it still can’t completely control the flame,” The ancient tung tree spirit said, “It can try shrinking itself first. After doing so, its strength will decrease in all aspects. It should do fine after adapting to its new strength for some time. You can look at its current evolved information first.”
When Xiao Jiu heard this, it immediately used Free-size to become only 60 centimeters.
After becoming smaller by a few times, the burning flames on its body disappeared as expected, and the temperature on its body also gradually decreased.
It ran to Wang Ye’s side and rubbed against him.
Wang Ye touched it. It was still quite hot, but not as exaggerated as before.
Then, he looked at Xiao Jiu’s information.

[Spiritual Energy Value: 9500]
“What a monstrous interface!” Wang Ye’s heart skipped a beat when he looked through Xiao Jiu’s information.
The skills were needless to say. Three more had appeared, all automatically comprehended after Xiao Jiu had evolved into the brilliant light sparrow.
The biggest difference was that Xiao Jiu’s current six-dimensional growth was just exaggerated.
Compared to the predicted six-dimensional growth of the Brilliant Light Sparrow, the overall increase now was even better by a small grade!
One had to know that the difficulty of a small grade from B+ to A-grade was far more difficult than improving from E+ to D-grade.
“The best Emperor class pets probably have a 6A+ grade panel, but those pets are at least pure Myth-class descendants. In reality, Xiao Jiu’s panel is already among the strongest batch of Emperor class pets! It reaching the Emperor class already represents an increase in its potential.”
Back then, even when some of Xiao Jiu’s attributes in the six dimensions had been upgraded to the C-grade, it remained an Otherworldly class pet.
A pet’s class was related to all aspects.
If a pet’s class was upgraded, its six dimensions would definitely be upgraded.
However, even if the six dimensions were improved, a pet’s class might not necessarily be upgraded.
The potential of each class meant that an Otherworldly class pet could only cultivate to level 3 at most. It would be difficult for them to move any further than that.
Meanwhile, reaching the Emperor class meant that Xiao Jiu could cultivate to at least level 7.
At the same time, a pet’s potential also included the upper and lower limits of the spiritual energy value, cultivation speed, and so on.
“Other than that, the genetic characteristics have also changed. Other than the Flame-like Light Blade that was obtained from evolving into a brilliant light sparrow, there are two additional upgradeable characteristics, and even a magenta one...”
Wang Ye looked at the characteristics that had changed.
[Strange God Nemesis: You possess a trace of phoenix power as well as the powerful aura of the true soul and pure power of light. These allow you to instantly kill some low-level strange gods, cause considerable damage to some middle-level strange gods, and have a slight restraining effect on high-level strange gods.]
[Phoenix Will: Your will has been baptized by the true soul of the Phoenix race, and has become incomparably powerful and fearless. You will not fear death or be frightened, Even if the enemy is several times stronger than you, they will not be able to force you to submit. You will not be affected by any negative effects of spiritual pressure.]
After the evolution, these two characteristics had been affected by the evolution and bloodline and were upgraded from purple to orange.
As for the last two...
[Phoenix Bloodline: You have inherited a portion of the Phoenix bloodline. Although it is very weak, it has endless potential and can reach certain upper limits.]
[Nirvana: You have relied on your steel will to withstand a trace of the inheritance power from the phoenix bloodline during evolution. When you die, you will turn into an egg, be reborn, and become stronger! Whatever kills you makes you stronger (This characteristic will temporarily disappear after being triggered).]
“Strange God Nemesis!” Wang Ye was excited, “This characteristic is simply invincible! Phoenix Will is also awesome. The last two are upgradeable and simply awesome!”
Especially Nirvana.
What did having this characteristic mean?
This meant that Xiao Jiu would be immune to true death once in the future!
On top of that, it would be even stronger after being reborn!
Unfortunately, there was only one chance.
After all, Xiao Jiu seemed to have only inherited a little of the phoenix bloodline...
Ahem, it couldn’t be helped.
After all, Xiao Jiu didn’t have any phoenix bloodline to start with. It had completely relied on Intimidation and Phoenix Masquerade to forcefully bluff for a little.
That being said, even this trace of bloodline had brought Xiao Jiu quite a bit of improvement with the evolution.
Especially Nirvana.
As expected of a magenta characteristic!
Other than that, this characteristic seemed to have something to do with Steel Will from before.
In other words, it had something to do with Xiao Jiu’s personality, otherwise, it wouldn’t have appeared.
No wonder when Xiao Jiu had been evolving, the ancient tung tree spirit had said that Xiao Jiu was going through Nirvana Evolution and had inherited some of the crimson flame phoenix’s power.
This should be the core power of the phoenix.
Wang Ye wasn’t surprised that Xiao Jiu couldn’t completely inherit the crimson flame phoenix’s power, though.
Putting that aside, the phoenix bloodline was upgradeable.
This meant that if Xiao Jiu encountered a similar bloodline in the future, it could absorb and inherit that bloodline.
When running the simulation, with and without the phoenix bloodline, even if it was just a trace, was two different concepts.
The last characteristic was something that had been obtained from evolving into the brilliant light sparrow.
[Flame-like Light Blade: The wings of the brilliant light sparrow have the power to cut through all darkness. You can control the Sclading Bright Flame in your body so that all wing-related skills will carry quite a bit of light flame damage! The light flame can not be extinguished normally, and the damage will persist throughout the battle.]
“Light flame damage... This should refer to the Scalding Bright Flame. Damage-attached attacks. So, even if we can’t beat the opponent, we can exhaust your opponent to death. With this, isn’t Xiao Jiu invincible against strange gods?” Wang Ye muttered to himself.
There were three other skills, but Wang Ye did not even look at them.
He felt that Xiao Jiu was already somewhat invincible now.
Its interface was invincible, it had characteristics that added buffs to it, as well as high-realmed skills with Profoundness effects.
With this, who could withstand Xiao Jiu’s Feather Cut?
Wang Ye felt that it didn’t matter if there were fewer skills.
After all, it was too difficult to cultivate skills.
In contrast, with more awesome characteristics, once buffed, even the most basic skills could achieve terrifying effects.
It would be best if he could get dozens of the characteristics like Flame-like Light Blade, Hurricane God Wings, Strange God Nemesis, and so on...
Looking at the spiritual energy value now.
“Spiritual energy value, 9,500! From 1,500 to 9,500, it has increased by six times! The spiritual energy value limit of a level 2 pet is 10,000, to begin with! It has almost reached its limit right after evolution! This should be the awesome part of the phoenix bloodline, huh?”
With so much spiritual energy, there was no need to be afraid of running out of mana in the future!
“Judging from your expression, the results should be pretty good,” The ancient tung tree spirit yawned.
Then, it dropped a few leaves and handed them to Wang Ye, “This is the soul red leaf that grew out of my body after being watered by the crimson flame phoenix’s soul fire. Although its effects aren’t as good as the soul fire, taking them can still improve your pet’s soul. With the strength of its soul, it probably can’t control its power now. Let’s take it slow. This little fellow can be considered a pet that has truly obtained some of the crimson flame phoenix’s core power over the past few years. Go. I hope that it won’t fall short of the phoenix’s ambitions. In this era of dark fog and danger, protect the safety of humans.”
Wang Ye took the leaves and placed them into his spatial sphere. After repeatedly thanking the ancient tung tree spirit, he left with Xiao Jiu in silence.
It was time to go out!
