I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 202 The Spirit of Kunpeng
On the sea, just about a hundred miles from the mainland, Xiao Wuji stopped. At this distance, it was no longer easy to alert the Tianpeng Clan.

Seeing Xiao Wuji stop, the girl also stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to take your spirit beast back?"

Xiao Wuji shook his head and said, "No need, I..."

"I know your concerns. If you don't want to accept it, then don't! You've really suffered these past years out there!" Before Xiao Wuji could make a move, he heard the girl say this again. In that instant, Xiao Wuji actually felt a pang of conscience.

"You really are a good person!"

Xiao Wuji muttered something to himself, then crushed the conscience he had just discovered into dust, and took out the Six Desires Furnace from his Purple Mansion.

On the five-colored divine furnace with three legs and two handles, apart from the unique patterns of the divine metal itself, there is only the Dao and reason naturally interwoven.

"This is……"

Jin Yue looked at the furnace with some surprise. She could clearly feel the aura of laws emanating from it. Could this be a Xuan Tian treasure?
However, before she could even feel greed, she saw the Five-Colored Divine Furnace erupt with a five-colored mysterious light. The light swept across the area, and the girl vanished instantly.

"Hiss~ Did we burn a bit too much energy source? What a waste!"

Xiao Wuji had a considerable amount of source energy, but if he used it to activate his sacred weapon, it wouldn't be much.

In the world of "Covering the Sky," there's no need for him to burn source stones to activate sacred weapons. However, the spiritual energy of this world is far too thin, making it incredibly difficult to awaken a weapon's spirit. He can only use source stones to activate it, and just that one time alone consumed tens of thousands of kilograms of source stones.

If it weren't for the fact that "he" learned the Origin Book during that simulation, he would probably still be worrying about how to activate this magic weapon. He didn't want to end up like Han Li with the little cucumber, using it only to become weak every time.

He had studied the Goddess Furnace before and had already left corresponding functions on the Six Desires Furnace. However, activating it consumed too many resources, so Xiao Wuji was unwilling to use it easily.

But if he could get a beauty in the fusion stage by using only some resources, he felt it was quite a good deal.

Inside the Furnace of Six Desires, the flames of lust constantly stirred Jin Yue's mind. These invisible flames continuously burned her will, even though her will had been tempered to be as hard as iron through countless years of arduous cultivation, she still quickly succumbed.

As tens of thousands of kilograms of pure energy were poured down, Jin Yue, who was still struggling in the furnace, suddenly showed a hint of infatuation in her eyes.

This is love, and also desire; it is possession, and also acceptance.

Xiao Wuji had to admit that the art of human desire was technically sophisticated; it was the first time he had ever seen such complex lust in someone's eyes.

It can only be said that Emperor Hengyu truly lives up to his name, being so proficient even in the Dao of Human Desire. It's important to understand that the methods of weapon forging in the world of Shrouding the Heavens involve imprinting one's own Dao onto the weapon. Therefore, he likely has no friends.

In contrast, Xiao Wuji was more inclined to believe another version of the story: that the Goddess Furnace was a divine artifact used by Emperor Hengyu to resolve conflicts within his harem. After all, it was widely known that Emperor Hengyu was quite sentimental…

Jin Yue braced herself against Xiao Wuji's chest and said, "You're such a little rascal! You tricked me into coming out and did this to me!"

Seeing the love in Jin Yue's eyes, Xiao Wuji feigned indifference and said, "Oh? What, you don't like it? If you don't like it, I'll dissolve the matter right now..."

"No!" Jin Yue quickly covered Xiao Wuji's mouth, her expression showing indescribable tension.

"Don't leave me, I'll do anything for you!"

"Sweetie, as long as you're obedient, I won't abandon you!"

The Goddess Furnace can distort a person's mind and make them sink into desire. The Six Desires Furnace that "he" imitated is no less powerful. Once one is immersed in love and desire, it is difficult to wake up again.

The most obvious result now is that Jin Yue can instantly enter a state of arousal the moment Xiao Wuji has a thought. It has to be said that the Six Desires Furnace is still more adept at dealing with women.

"Take me to the Spirit Sealing Tower. I'm still very interested in the Kunpeng True Blood!"

"Uh-huh!"

……

The Spirit Sealing Tower is a strange tower-shaped building, standing six or seven hundred feet tall. Its surface is not the common cylindrical shape, but rather an octagonal one. Each facet of the octagon is exceptionally smooth and is inscribed with special patterns and symbols.

These symbols emitted a faint black aura, giving Han Li a strange sense of familiarity. At the top of the tower was a bizarre crystal several meters in size, radiating seven-colored light and enveloping the tower.

All the black energy was trapped within the seven-colored light barrier, unable to escape even slightly. Xiao Wuji followed behind Jin Yue, activating his Thunderous Eyes to observe the so-called Spirit Sealing Tower from afar. He was quite interested in this "Kunpeng Spirit." Even a fragmented soul of a true spirit is of great value.

But when he finally saw what the "Kunpeng Spirit" looked like, he was immediately disappointed, because the so-called "Kunpeng Spirit" had absolutely nothing to do with a soul.

"So it was just a vengeful spirit formed from the lingering resentment of Kunpeng after his death! I thought you had really captured a wisp of Kunpeng's spirit!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Yue was taken aback for a moment, then immediately covered her face and laughed, "Since my Tianpeng clan reveres the Kunpeng, how could we do such a rebellious thing!"

"This Kunpeng spirit was found in the Abyss by one of the Holy Lords of my Tianpeng Clan hundreds of thousands of years ago. My clan paid a considerable price to seal it away!"

“We originally did not want to seal it, but this Kunpeng spirit is not only extremely sensitive to the Kunpeng bloodline, but can even suppress our bloodline. In order to prevent this thing from falling into the hands of others and being used against our Tianpeng clan, we have no choice but to seal it here!”

"Of course, we still refer to it as the Kunpeng Sacred Soul to outsiders, after all, it is truly too special!"

Jin Yue suddenly smiled mischievously and said, "You little rascal, I was quite surprised that you could tell the truth from the falsehood at a glance!"

"Found in the abyss? No wonder!"

The Abyss was transformed from Rahu after his death, and Rahu and Kunpeng were mortal enemies, so it is perfectly reasonable to find the resentment of a true spirit in his belly.

As they spoke, the two approached the Spirit Sealing Tower. When they were several hundred feet away from the tower, a terrifying aura burst forth from within.

This was not a suppression of strength, but a suppression of bloodline; the wings behind him were intimidated by the aura within the Tower of Fear.

"That's why I hate bloodlines!"

During the countless simulations he went through, the option of bloodline did appear, but Xiao Wuji ignored them all because they were too easily suppressed.

Fortunately, the bloodlines of the Golden Crow and the Lightning Phoenix within the wings behind him were also strong, so the suppression he suffered was not significant. Even so, Xiao Wuji still planned to immediately enhance his flying combat skills with the Five-Colored Divine Blood after leaving.

Before Xiao Wuji could suppress the changes in his wings, an exceptionally high-pitched cry rang out from within the tower. Upon hearing this cry, hundreds of Tianpeng people nearby closed their eyes and plummeted from the sky. Only cultivators at the Refinement Void stage and above could avoid this.

"Looks like this guy really welcomes me!"

Xiao Wuji looked at the Kunpeng spirit, which had been trapped in the Spirit Sealing Tower and transformed into the form of a Kunpeng. He couldn't understand, but he was very surprised! Resentment could even take form, so how much resentment did this Kunpeng have before it died?

Just as the restlessness of the bloodline within the wings was suppressed, a dozen or so figures suddenly arrived. They were all powerful members of the Tianpeng Clan guarding the Spirit Sealing Tower, each possessing a cultivation level of no less than the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

"I've met the Great Elder!"

Upon seeing Jin Yue, the group bowed to her and then turned their attention to Xiao Wuji.

The two elder-looking Tianpeng people at the head of the group, one with a pair of white wings on his back and the other with pale golden wings, were clearly of high status within the Tianpeng clan.

"Elder, could this be your junior? He looks somewhat unfamiliar."

Jin Yue explained on his behalf: "Wuji is the last surviving member of my clan in the lower realm. He recently ascended to the Spirit Realm."

"However, because he absorbed some other true blood in the lower realm, his true blood is somewhat impure, which is why I used the Spirit Sealing Tower to identify his bloodline!"

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Tianpeng clan with pale golden wings stroked his beard and said with some envy, "In my opinion, young friend Wuji's Kunpeng aura is abundant enough to accept the position of our clan's holy son and inherit the Kunpeng true blood!"

"I think so too, but we need to gather a few elders to discuss this matter!"

Seeing that someone had brought up the topic, Jin Yue took the opportunity to speak up.
