Feng Wu asked curiously, “What classes do spiritual pets usually have?”
Little Phoenix said, “There are six: S, A, B, C, D, E, and F. If one can activate dragon blood, they may reach SS class. If one can go beyond that and inherit the pure dragon bloodline, they’ll become SSS class.”
“Pure dragon blood… What does that mean?” Feng Wu asked curiously.
“With pure dragon blood, they can turn into dragons when they transform. Of course, it’s almost impossible. Just forget about it.” Little Phoenix put a damper on her enthusiasm.
Feng Wu gave the bird a regretful look. “Alright.”
“Hey, why are you looking at me like that?” Little Phoenix stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu asked, “If you become an SSS class pet, will you become a pure-blooded phoenix?”
Little Phoenix stared at Feng Wu. “How do you know that?”
Feng Wu said, “You really will? It’s possible for you to turn into a pure-blooded phoenix, then? As in the one that is reborn from fire?”
Little Phoenix snorted proudly. “I am of the fire phoenix bloodline. Why do you think it’ll be hard for me to activate it?”
Feng Wu stared at the bird. “Really? Can you really do it?”
Little Phoenix said, “Of course I can!”
Despite its stubborn tone, Little Phoenix knew better than anyone else that it was extremely difficult to become a pure-blooded phoenix.
“There you go.” Feng Wu gave the other dragon spiritual stone to the bird.
Something occurred to Little Phoenix before it took the stone.
“Bring me the Ten-Direction Seal. I’ll take a look for you.” Since the bird was about to enter the transformation stage and didn’t know when it would wake up, nor could it predict the outcome, it decided to examine the seal for Feng Wu first.
“Will the transformation be dangerous for you?” Feng Wu looked at Little Phoenix.
“Do you think a petty thing like that can be dangerous to me?” Little Phoenix said proudly.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
“The spiritual essence is about to recover, and this area is going to become a living hell. Stop messing about.”
Feng Wu was startled. “A living hell? How? No one has told me anything.”
Little Phoenix said grumpily, “That’s because they don’t know either.”
Feng Wu said, “What? Didn’t they say that the spiritual essence recovers every year? It shouldn’t be dangerous, right?”
Little Phoenix snorted. “This year is special. It’s going to be the most dangerous period in a hundred years. You know what? I’m going to hold off on my transformation. You may be dead before you know it.”
Feng Wu asked, “Is it that serious?”
Little Phoenix had never been so serious. Staring at Feng Wu, it said, “It’s a hundred times more serious than you can imagine! Just think about that.”
Feng Wu said, “Hm…”
Meanwhile, Little Phoenix had already picked up the Ten-Direction Seal.
It fiddled with it and narrowed its eyes.
It studied and examined the seal carefully.
“I know there’s a problem, but I just can’t figure out what.” Feng Wu told Little Phoenix, “When I held it just then, I already examined it with a formation, but it turns out that this seal contains runes, not formations.
“As for the runes…” Feng Wu shook her head. “I’ve never seen something so special before, so I can’t recognize any of them.”
“I’ve seen them before,” Little Phoenix declared unexpectedly.
“You’ve seen them? When?” Feng Wu was bewildered. “You’ve been in the ring all this time; how could you have seen something that I haven’t? Think carefully. Have you really seen them before?”
Little Phoenix said solemnly, “I really have. As for where —”
It rubbed his head, because it just couldn’t remember.
“In my previous life, maybe?” Little Phoenix spoke to itself.
Feng Wu chuckled. “Cut it out. Your previous life? Why not say that you’ve lost your memory?”
“But I really have seen it before,” Little Phoenix said proudly.
“Alright, you have. Then tell me, what do these seven special runes mean? And how are you going to take off this warm jade shell?”
Feng Wu had tried. It was impossible to remove that shell by sheer force.
However, to Feng Wu’s surprise, the next second —
“Crack —” There was a crisp sound.
Feng Wu watched as Little Phoenix cracked the seal with its claws.
“How can that be?!”
Little Phoenix glanced at Feng Wu. “See?”
Feng Wu was very surprised. “You really know these seven runes? You mean it?”
Little Phoenix scratched its head. “I do, but it seems like something from another life. I can’t remember. Well, the result is what’s important, not the process.”
Feng Wu said, “I can’t argue with that.”
Little Phoenix had already removed the outer layer of the seal to reveal a small, exquisite blood-red seal inside.
“What’s this?” Tilting her head, Feng Wu looked at it curiously.
Meanwhile, Little Phoenix gazed at Feng Wu with a strange look in its eyes.
Feng Wu was perplexed. “What? What’s the matter?”
“Do you know what this is?” Little Phoenix took a deep breath and shook the seal that was in its claws.
Feng Wu was bewildered. “No, I don’t. It looks like a top-grade bloodstone seal. I’m sure it’s worth a lot.”
Little Phoenix smacked Feng Wu on the head. “Worth a lot? Is bloodstone all you can think about? You fool!”
Rubbing her forehead, Feng Wu looked at Little Phoenix. “Why are you so excited and rude all of a sudden?”
Little Phoenix stared at Feng Wu. “Do you know what this is?!”
Feng Wu said, “I’m asking you, aren’t I?”
Little Phoenix said, “This is the seal of the ghost king! The Ghost King Seal! Do you know what that is?”
Seeing the crooked characters on it, Feng Wu shook her head. “What is that language? I don’t understand it.”
“It’s not a language of the living. It belongs to the netherworld!” Little Phoenix snapped.
Feng Wu asked, “So, the netherworld does exist. More importantly, why do you know their language?”
She was intrigued.
Not only did Little Phoenix understand the seven special runes, it also understood the language of the netherworld. How?
“How do I know? It’s just in my brain, and I automatically know it.” Little Phoenix rubbed its head. “That’s not important. What’s important is that it’s the Ghost King Seal!”
“What’s the Ghost King Seal?”
“The Ghost King Seal represented the ghost king themself. Soon, this place will turn into a living hell, and there will be more ghosts than you can imagine.”
Little Phoenix sounded excited. “These ghosts don’t have physical forms, and it’ll be almost impossible to kill them. But now, things will be different for us.”
It shook the seal and said excitedly, “Now, we have the Ghost King Seal. It’ll be like the ghost king is with us!
“When we take out the seal, it’ll freeze the ghosts. If you’re more capable, you can even control them and use them yourself. How awesome is that?!”
Feng Wu’s eyes widened. “Is this bloodstone seal so awesome?!”
Little Phoenix snapped. “I told you already! It’s not a bloodstone seal! It’s the Ghost King Seal!”
Feng Wu said, “That’s to say, if I have this seal on me when the spiritual essence recovers, the ghosts won’t bother us, right?”
Little Phoenix said, “Yes.”
Feng Wu was thrilled.
That was to say, she would have a great advantage when the spiritual essence recovered. When that happened, it would be so much easier for her.
“If Sefiro knows that the Ghost King Seal was concealed in the Ten-Direction Seal, how furious would she be?” Feng Wu chuckled.
Little Phoenix said, “I don’t know how angry she’ll be, but she’ll definitely try to take it away from you.”
