High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 170 An Irreconcilable Feud, The Mythical Phoenix

the other side.

Tianyuan Realm.

Inside a quaint, elegant little house, imbued with Zen and Taoist charm.

Lin Hanzhou and Huang Xi were still sitting in their familiar seats.

"So, you've sold me out?"

"So, you're using this to forcibly lure that holy son down to the mortal realm to kill me?"

Lin Hanzhou looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in red who was quietly sipping tea, somewhat speechless.

He had just finished testing his new ability when the other party contacted him through the ring, saying that the target was about to descend to the mortal realm.

"It's not exactly selling, is it? The message I had the spy send back was that you only possess 30% of the luck."

Huang Xi gently placed the teacup on the table and continued speaking.

"They would never guess that you are the legendary chosen one."

"Besides, I'm specifically telling you this here so you can be prepared in advance."

As she spoke, a strange light flickered in Huang Xi's beautiful phoenix eyes, which shone like stars.

She knew that the reincarnated beings in the Samsara Palace had all sorts of strange methods, so it was not surprising that they possessed a technique that could devour fortune.

But what she never expected was that the other party could actually accomplish that feat that only existed in theory—seizing the fortune of the entire world.

Thus, he became the world's only "chosen one".

This was completely unexpected for her.

"That works too."

Lin Hanzhou didn't pursue the matter further; the other party had acted first and informed him later.

If he knew that this method could be used to lure someone down to the mortal realm, he probably would have done the same.

After all, his plan to plunder the fortune of the world is now complete.

He didn't need to wait until the other party came to take the Void Seed before making a move.

The sooner he acts, the sooner he can obtain those three incredibly precious drops of "Origin of the World".

"Then tell me about the specifics of the Taiyan Holy Land, so I can be prepared."

Lin Hanzhou then inquired about news concerning the Taiyan Sacred Land.

Upon hearing this question, a thoughtful expression appeared on Huang Xi's exquisitely beautiful face.

After a moment, she parted her lips slightly and said:

"I'm not entirely sure about the exact combat strength of the Taiyan Holy Land. Back then, only the Great Elder of the Holy Land, an eighth-level expert, sent his seventh-level peak avatar to fight. The rest were all ordinary seventh-level experts."

"I guess their lineup for this descent to the lower realm consists of about five peak seventh-tier cultivators. Among them, there is a high possibility that there will be a seventh-tier avatar of that eighth-tier elder, but it is not certain, because the other party spends most of his time in seclusion."

"But if that's the case, you must be careful. The avatar of an eighth-level expert is much stronger than an ordinary cultivator of the same level."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hanzhou nodded.

Everything the other party said was within his expectations.

Five peak seventh-tier cultivators—if this were in another world, he would definitely run away on the spot.

Let alone five seventh-tier opponents, he couldn't even defeat one seventh-tier opponent with his current strength.

After all, the difference in their cultivation levels is undeniable; he can't simply say that a peak sixth-tier cultivator can defeat a peak seventh-tier cultivator.

But if conventional methods don't work, he has unconventional methods.

You must understand, this is his world, and the world's consciousness is completely under his control.

When the time comes, if any of those people from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land dare to step into the Heavenly Origin Realm, he can simply control the lightning tribulation to chase and strike them down.

If you can't kill it, keep hacking at it until it's dead.

As for the possibility of an avatar of an eighth-tier powerhouse appearing, that's another story.

Hehehe........

He had already prepared a generous gift for this eighth-level expert.

Lin Hanzhou then asked about other things.

"I'm a little curious, what grudge do you have against this Wang Yuanjie? Is it worth going to such lengths to kill him?"

Hearing this, Huang Xi did not change her expression as Lin Hanzhou had expected.

Her face remained icy cold as she spoke indifferently:

"Actually, I don't have any grudge against Wang Yuanjie. I've never even met him in person. The information I'm showing you is from the memories of his subordinates."

Lin Hanzhou was even more confused after hearing this explanation.

Huh? You had no grudge against him, so why did you go to such great lengths to kill him?

What kind of brain circuit is this?

Just as Lin Hanzhou was wondering, Huang Xi continued:

"I have no personal grudge against him, but his father and I are sworn enemies!"

At this point, Huang Xi gritted her teeth, and endless anger ignited in her once calm phoenix eyes.

He looked like he wanted to devour the other person alive.

"It was his incarnation who personally killed my parents, and even all the top experts in the entire Tianyuan Realm at that time."

"That's why the Tianyuan Realm, which once boasted over a dozen peak seventh-tier experts, fell so quickly!"

"I will never forget that night, the night when my entire tribe was slaughtered."

"All I could hear were deafening shouts of battle and the desperate cries of my people!"

"During that purge, countless high-level cultivators perished in the Tianyuan Realm."

"In the end, I was only able to survive thanks to the treasures my parents gave me."

"Since then, my sole purpose in life has been revenge, to take revenge on the Taiyan Holy Land."

"But I know very well that neither the Taiyan Holy Land nor that elder of the Holy Land can shake my power."

"That's why I'm trying to kill the Grand Elder's son, so he can also experience the pain of losing a loved one!"

"I know that this son is very important to him, not only because he perfectly inherited his mutated spiritual root with the heavenly lightning attribute, but also because he is his only offspring in ten thousand years."

"Even if they have another child later, it's highly unlikely that the other child will have a Heavenly-grade spiritual root!"

"In this situation, if his son were to die, his expression would definitely be incredibly interesting, hahaha..."

Listening to Huang Xi's heartfelt words, Lin Hanzhou finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.

No wonder the other side was willing to go to such great lengths to kill Wang Yuanjie.

It turns out it was a blood feud involving the extermination of a clan; that makes sense.

However, to his surprise, the other party had actually lived from more than 10,000 years ago to the present day.

It should be noted that even a sixth-order Divine Palace Realm martial artist only has a lifespan of about two thousand years.

Even for cultivators with longer lifespans, the sixth-level Returning to Emptiness Realm only lasts four thousand years, while the seventh-level Cave Void Realm lasts eight thousand years.

In this situation, the opponent is only a half-step Void Realm cultivator, so their lifespan must not be more than ten thousand years, right?

Out of curiosity, Lin Hanzhou took the opportunity to ask this question.

"I understand your hatred, but I'm a little curious about how you've survived from over ten thousand years ago to the present day."

Faced with Lin Hanzhou's question, Huang Xi's expression returned to calm. After a moment of silence, she spoke.

"Under normal circumstances, even if I break through to the Void Realm, I really cannot survive for ten thousand years."

"Therefore, I transformed my bloodline into that of the mythical phoenix through some means, which is why I have been able to live for so long."
