The Sky Poison Pearl
Three Drops of Phoenix Blood

Feng Baichuan once said that, whether one failed or succeeded, they could only enter the Phoenix examination once in their lifetime. However, he still chose to give up the third stage trial because he did not want to hurt the figure he valued the most.

However, this was just what he thought.

The phoenix spirit words made Yun Che widen his eyes and become stunned for a moment.

“What I have said before about how only those who have enough ambition to reach a power can pass the third stage of the experiment, is a deliberate clue in the wrong direction. The Phoenix was a benevolent being and the trials it left behind were a gift to the Sky Continent. But the phoenix never willingly inherited its power by those who were evil and heartless. The third exam is built through the memories of the most joyful practitioners from the depths of their deepest souls. Before the exam, I will give you a hint that only through a strong desire for power will one pass the trial.

“True, the illusion came from your own memory, and was not imitated from any other source. It was exactly the same as the actual person, item, or event and they had to deal with it as if everything was real. If they hurt the person they love the most just to achieve strength, even if it's some kind of dedication, and even if it doesn't mean that they are evil, they will still lose the most important need of the soul: compassion. If such a person received great power, it was only for their own growth, and not for the protection of others. It would be contrary to the Phoenix's initial intention to leave this trial ground.

“From seven people who had previously passed the third exam, some were dealing with their own wives, some were dealing with their employers, their benefactors, their parents and even their children. They are like you; they are clear that it is an illusion, but still cannot do the deed. However, when they were attacked, they would fight even if they did not counterattack. As for you, you were willing to let him stab you to death so that you could have a few more moments to hug him. During these years, you were the only one who had passed the third stage perfectly.

This sudden change undoubtedly pleased Yun Che beyond his expectations. It could not be said that he passed through luck, as he would definitely make this choice no matter what the consequences were; for even though he had to betray the entire world, it would be impossible for him to do so, he would never allow himself to betray that girl.

"Then, can I get the power of the Phoenix right now?" Yun Che asked expectantly.

"of course. You will be given three gifts from Phoenix: blood Phoenix, Divine Phoenix Pill and you will have the chance to learn the Phoenix World Fragment.”

"Right now, I will bestow upon you the Phoenix bloodline."

The golden eyes of the phoenix spirit flashed, and caused the dark world to turn golden for a moment. Suddenly, a speck of golden light came from the illusionary space. It shot right between Yun Che's brows to then seep in afterward.

“The previous challengers only received one drop of Phoenix blood after they passed but you saved the Heavenly Treasure, held the power of a Perverted God, and have perfectly passed the third test. I have to make an exception and give three drops of Phoenix blood. You are already equipped with the Divine Seed of a Perverted God, and will not be harmed by any fire. Therefore, the Phoenix's ability to withstand fire will be of no use to you. But once it merges into your veins, it will allow you to master the fire attribute art and produce twice the results in half the time. The fire attribute skill you can use will be stronger than before! Especially the Phoenix Fire Skill, which will allow you to use a power that is three times stronger than a normal person's blood vessels can.

"Now close your eyes and let these three drops of Phoenix blood seep into your veins. Among the previous seven challengers, the shortest time one would need for the entire process was three days - but I'm sure it wouldn't take more than half a quarter of an hour in your case."

The voice of the phoenix spirit resounded in his heart, but Yun Che was already too busy to reply.

After the three drops of Phoenix blood entered his veins, it was as if there were three clusters of flames burning frantically.

He let it fuse into his bloodstream bit by bit.

His blood flow gradually became warmer as the three drops of Phoenix blood began to shrink. After a dozen times circulating throughout his body, three drops of Phoenix blood finally disappeared into Yun Che's veins.

Yun Che opened his eyes and a fiery red fire mark between his eyebrows. The size and shape of the mark was the same as the Phoenix clan outside, but the color was much clearer.

Those golden eyes shone again and two points of light descended from the sky. What fell in front of Yun Che .. was a white-colored jade bottle and white jade shards.

“In the white-colored jade bottle was precisely the Divine Phoenix Pill. It can increase your control over fire energy by a large amount. However, since you have the Divine Seed of a Perverted God; his ultimate ability is of little use to you. But at the same time, it can also increase your strength by at least five ranks!

“In the meantime, the fragments of the Phoenix World were inscribed on this jade slip. Together, the Phoenix World, the Vermilion Conferred Spirit Song, and the Golden Crow of the Burning World were known as the Three Heavenly Books that Scorched the World. Each of them possessed an incredible power capable of burning the sky. That year, Phoenix left the first six stages of the Phoenix World. Just…"

At this point, the Phoenix spirit fell silent, as if waiting for Yun Che to examine himself.

Yun Che took out the Divine Phoenix Pill and the jade shards. After pressing the hand onto the jade, the information was quickly transmitted to his brain with a touch of his profound energy. His heart also began to become extremely excited in the chaos…. After all, this was a fire technique that originated from the Phoenix! It was known as one of the World Scorching Heavenly Books left behind by divine beasts!

…………

The Fifth Stage Phoenix World…

The Sixth Stage Phoenix World…

…………

“Why are only the fifth and sixth stages here? What about the first four?” Yun Che raised his head and asked with a face full of astonishment. He reviewed all the messages from the jade several times, but could only find records from the fifth and sixth stages.

Without the first four stages, how would he train in the fifth and sixth stages?

"It's a pity, but there's nothing I can do either." The phoenix spirit voice let out a long sigh: "Initially, this Phoenix World had recorded everything from the first to sixth stages, but before the first challenger arrived, an unexpected accident occurred."

“That year, Phoenix left two test grounds on the continent. One was here and the other was in the Divine Phoenix Empire which was very far away. The trial grounds in the Divine Phoenix Empire were quickly discovered and the Divine Phoenix Sect was created. That trial ground was also a forbidden area that only the Divine Phoenix Sect had. After that, the Divine Phoenix Sect became the number one sect in that empire. The empire was renamed the Divine Phoenix Empire and the imperial capital was established near the Divine Phoenix Sect. Thus, the area where the test site was located became the most prosperous region of the empire. Greed, deception, savage acts, and wars of mankind.

“As part of a Phoenix spirit with a different body, I knew of its existence back then; and similarly, it knew mine. After he developed a consciousness that he shouldn't have, he actually had the idea to destroy me and this experimental place, wanting to have the entire continent to himself. So, he transferred his energy to an ordinary fire bird and came here. It fought fiercely against me and had destroyed my jade copy recording the Phoenix World.

“During an intense fight, I destroyed a portion of the copy, leaving it with only the first four stages. After that, I was no match for it and had no other choice but to create a false illusion to disappear into the flames. Only until then did he leave. But he had no idea that I had erased the fifth and sixth stages of the Phoenix World instead of destroying it, which was the pawn you were holding right now. After that, I broke off my soul relationship with him. It never felt my existence again and always believed that I had died but I kept doing the will of the phoenix. While guarding this trial ground, I have welcomed and monitored all the challengers.

Yun Che's mouth slightly opened, as if he had just heard an unimaginable story.
