Mu Jinyu was running with his head down like a frightened rat, dodging Little Phoenix's frenzied pecks, while simultaneously retaliating with words.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, and with a large hand, he grasped Little Phoenix tightly.
"Keep pecking me, do you believe I'll unleash Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend to peck you?!"
Mu Jinyu threatened fiercely, clutching Little Phoenix.
Under this threat, Little Phoenix finally yielded.
Afterward, Mu Jinyu did not delay anymore, holding Little Phoenix with a large hand, swiftly leaving the valley, then stepping through fertile land covered with Yao grass, hurrying towards the Poison Marsh Pond outside the Immortal Realm.
During this time, he didn't even cast a glance at the Immortal Hall Divine Threshold standing high on the mountain.
He had been here for about an hour; the True Yuan left within the Bi Fang Cauldron was insufficient to activate the Defensive Prohibition, he had to hurry back to check on Wen Rou and the others' safety.
As for the countless Spiritual Medicine inside, and that unexplored Immortal Threshold, he wasn't in a hurry to explore them, he'd bring Wen Rou and the others later.
Soon, Mu Jinyu took a step, walking out of this land reminiscent of an Immortal Realm, his body radiating a sudden burst of blue light to resist the corrosion of poison.
Then, Mu Jinyu felt something was amiss, he had only half of his body stepping out of the Immortal Realm, why was his whole body resisting the corrosion of poison?
The other half of his body was still within the Immortal Realm, it shouldn't be corroded by poison at all.
Unable to comprehend, Mu Jinyu turned around to look, and was dumbfounded.
Behind him was still the Poison Marsh Pond bubbling with purple-black poisonous bubbles, where was the lush, Yao grass-covered, Immortal scenery?
"How could it disappear?"
Mu Jinyu said dazedly, then took a step back.
Trying to see if the Immortal Land activated an Illusion Array isolating his sight, but in fact, he was still within this Poison Marsh Pond.
But after stepping back, Mu Jinyu still didn't perceive the aura of the Immortal Land.
He instantly knew, that Immortal Realm had something peculiar, either one can only enter it once in a lifetime, or once someone goes in, upon leaving it would depart from its spot, appearing elsewhere.
"Doesn't matter, later I'll bring Wen Rou and the others to explore it and find out."
Mu Jinyu collected his thoughts, shook his head forcefully to dispel random thoughts, grabbed Little Phoenix, and rushed out.
Soon, Mu Jinyu strode out of the Poison Marsh Pond, seeing an ancient, unadorned bronze Great Cauldron standing on the void outside the Poison Marsh Pond.
"Phew..."
Mu Jinyu saw Wen Rou and the other two safe within, exhaled lightly, and then with Little Phoenix in hand, stepped in, rushing into the Bi Fang Cauldron.
"Little Mu, you're back, how was it, did you find the Soul Shatter Grass?"
"Brother Mu, are you okay?"
"Eh, how did this little guy grow feathers?"
Seeing Mu Jinyu return, Wen Rou and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, then asked.
Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "Didn't see the Soul Shatter Grass, probably because I didn't delve deeper?"
Saying that, he lifted the struggling Little Phoenix in his hand, and said with a smile, "As for how this guy grew feathers, that's a long story..."
Soon, Mu Jinyu briefly narrated his experience after entering the Poison Marsh Pond, encountering a mysterious Immortal Realm, then entering and meeting countless Immortal Palace Divine Thresholds, finally at the end of a valley, encountering the Fallen Demon Phoenix.
"So this little guy absorbed the Divine Phoenix Essence Blood and finally started growing feathers?"
Jian Ruyan, hearing the story, was somewhat astonished, not expecting things to turn out this way, this little guy unexpectedly encountered another kind of fortune.
However, Little Phoenix with grown feathers indeed looked much more appealing, the previous bare-chicken image, she really had been enduring a sense of humor while taking care of it.
Now she genuinely wanted to hold Little Phoenix in her arms and take good care of it!
Mu Jinyu sighed, "Not quite yet, after it absorbed the Essence Blood, it actually regained its memory, knew I refined it to Nirvana, and upon awakening, wanted to devour its master, fought fiercely with me, had I not been stronger, I'd have been killed by this ungrateful whelp."
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
The Little Phoenix, already passed into Jian Ruyan's arms, chirped in dissatisfaction upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words!
"Ah? So this..."
Jian Ruyan, hearing Mu Jinyu, paused, then looked down at Little Phoenix nestled in her arms, feeling like holding a hot potato, a sliver of worry flashing across her eyes.
If this little guy harbors thoughts of revenge, it wouldn't be good to keep it around.
Mu Jinyu said, "Don't worry, it won't acknowledge me as its master after regaining memory, but is willing to stay by your side. I set several Restrictions on it, I don't think it can cause much trouble."
"Alright." Hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Jian Ruyan relaxed.
At this time, Zhuo Yue, after listening to Mu Jinyu's story, was contemplating while frowning, now his brow relaxed slightly, uncertainly said, "Brother Mu, you just said, you all walked out of the Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm automatically vanished?"
"Yes, not sure whether it flew away or if it can only be witnessed once in a lifetime."
Mu Jinyu sighed regretfully.
Inside, he only picked several dozen Spiritual Medicine while following Little Phoenix, ultimately letting the uncontrollable Dragon Resentment Evil Poison absorb Phoenix Poison, transforming into Dragon-Phoenix Resentful Fiend. His gains were far less significant than Little Phoenix's.
Pity, this little creature ultimately turned against him, making his loss significant.
And that Immortal Hall Divine Threshold, he didn't manage to enter, which he felt was a great pity.
Zhuo Yue pondered and nodded, said, "If my guess is correct, that should be the legendary Lustrous Immortal Realm."
"Lustrous Immortal Realm?"
Mu Jinyu, hearing the name, paused slightly, unclear about its significance, waited silently for Zhuo Yue's explanation.
While Jian Ruyan seemed to vaguely recall some rumors, her expression slightly changed, showing regret and loss.
Zhuo Yue did not hold back, continued, "Lustrous Immortal Realm, as the name suggests, is a place like Immortal Realm, but its entrants, upon exiting, can never enter it again. It is as beautiful as glass, but very fragile, like an ephemeral illusion flower, breaking at a touch, hence called Lustrous Immortal Realm!"
"It is said within its Immortal Hall Divine Threshold, there's a legendary Immortality Method, understanding it can ascend and transform, some say within there's startling Immortal Pill, consuming it can instantly reach Divine Ninth Level Hedao, matchless in this world!"
"In essence, it's a place that stirs much imagination, but few can truly have the chance to enter!"
Zhuo Yue, concluding, said in a regretful tone.
"What?!"
Mu Jinyu, upon hearing Zhuo Yue's tale, was furious, his eyes fixed on Little Phoenix, which looked somewhat guilty in Jian Ruyan's embrace, wishing to pluck its feathers and boil them for soup!
Originally when entering the Lustrous Immortal Realm, he wanted to first explore the Immortal Hall Divine Threshold standing atop the peak, but because Little Phoenix kept crying, he had to forgo the idea and followed Little Phoenix to the valley.
But ultimately, this little thing gained incredible fortune.
His harvest in comparison was utterly insignificant!
Truly felt the urge to teach this little creature a lesson!
