Chapter 167 The Ancestral Laws Cannot Be Changed
The Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower is certainly putting in a lot of effort to promote itself.
Becoming a soul spirit allows one to escape the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and see the outside world, which is one aspect, but more importantly, it's because of Huo Yuhao.
The relationship between the other party and the soul beast's companion had already spread among these sentient immortal herbs.
Not to mention the last time they merged together to help Narcissus Jade Bone overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, the Dragon God aura they stirred up made their hearts tremble.
Without a doubt, being able to stay by Huo Yuhao's side in the future will very likely give them a chance to experience immortality.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao himself did not possess a fire-attribute martial soul, so these scheming immortal herbs could only set their sights on the people around Huo Yuhao.
Even Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's initial seemingly refusal was actually just a ploy to sell herself for a better price.
Hearing that the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower had directly hit her sore spot, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu immediately became anxious, but still stubbornly said:
"I'm so strong, I'm really sorry. Human, come closer and let me take a closer look. Maybe I can also solve the problem of the evil fire in your body."
"What kind of solution do you have? Besides exacerbating the evil fire within her, what other use are you?"
As a close rival of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, Jiguan Fenghuang Kui could naturally sense the weakness in her words and immediately pressed her advantage, saying:
"Humans, you've definitely made the right choice by selecting me. I was carefully chosen by your ancestors. Don't you humans have a saying? The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed."
Hearing Phoenix Sunflower's incredibly sincere words, Ma Xiaotao looked intently at Fiery Apricot and asked in a somewhat serious tone, "Senior, can you really strengthen the evil fire within me?"
Before meeting Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao dreamed of completely eliminating the evil fire within her Phoenix Flame.
But now, she felt that this evil fire was too weak. As soon as it came into contact with Huo Yuhao, it turned into a docile little lamb and was completely useless.
Even just now, she only managed to muster a little bit of lust by fantasizing about Huo Yuhao all night.
As a result, the evil fire within her body has now transformed into the shape of an inner core. She has a strong premonition that she will probably not be able to rekindle the evil fire for the next few years.
Upon hearing that the Fiery Apricot Blossom could actually enhance her evil fire, Ma Xiaotao's inner joy was palpable.
"Slander, utter slander."
The fiery apricot tree trembled even more violently, and retorted somewhat guiltily, "As a top-grade fire-attribute immortal herb, how could I not even be able to deal with this little evil fire? It's nothing more than a flick of the finger to extinguish it."
"No, senior," Ma Xiaotao interrupted her, saying earnestly, "What I mean is, I want you to help me strengthen the evil fire a little more."
Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu and Jiguan Fenghuangkui were suddenly filled with question marks and fell silent.
Huo Yuhao sighed in exasperation, utterly speechless at Xiao Tao's train of thought.
After a long pause, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower let out a few awkward laughs and couldn't help but remind her:
"Human, do you know what you're saying? Strengthening your evil fire? Don't you know that the evil fire within you will one day cause you to burn yourself?"
The fire maiden formed from the fiery apricot blossoms took a few steps forward, swaying and circling around Ma Xiaotao.
Then she stretched out her finger and flicked out a golden-red flame from her fingertip, which entered Ma Xiaotao's body.
After a while, Liehuo Xingjiao let out a soft laugh.
"No wonder you possess some of the characteristics of Ultimate Fire now, so that's how it is. I suddenly have an idea, I wonder if you'd like to hear it from me."
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, and after a brief moment of thought, he said in a deep voice, "Ajiao, what are your thoughts? Why don't you tell me first?"
Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu said with considerable confidence, "The evil fire within her body has been compressed into the shape of an inner core, which makes things much easier. Why don't I merge that evil fire inner core with me after I become her soul spirit, and then I will control it?"
In this way, the power of the evil fire will also be enhanced, but since I control it, it will not go out of control.
"After all, the evil fire that is such a headache for you humans has absolutely no effect on me. The fire poison within my body is far more potent than that evil fire."
Ma Xiaotao's phoenix eyes grew brighter and brighter. Before she could even speak, Lie Huoxingjiao paused, then changed the subject, her tone carrying a hint of warning.
"However, let me make this clear from the start. While this method can directly elevate you to the level of ultimate fire, it will also transform the evil fire within you into a fire poison similar to mine."
The simultaneous sublimation of these two processes will put immense pressure on your mental strength. If you can't hold on, the phrase "self-immolation from evil fire" is no joke.
Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to Ma Xiaotao and said softly, "Sister Xiaotao, what do you think? Even without the evil fire, you can always come to see me if you want to in the future."
At the beginning, Huo Yuhao only wanted to use the Blazing Apricot Blossom to completely sublimate Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul into the ultimate fire, but the evil fire in her bloodline definitely had to be removed.
However, the method of preserving the evil fire proposed by Liehuo Xingjiaoshu can undoubtedly further enhance the quality of the martial soul. But, just as Liehuo Xingjiaoshu said, the difficulty of signing the soul contract will also increase considerably.
Ma Xiaotao's smile faded, and she asked seriously, "Senior, if I retain the Evil Flame, will my Martial Soul really be able to improve further?"
Before meeting Huo Yuhao, the most important thing in Ma Xiaotao's life was cultivation.
Now, in order to have enough ability to stand by Huo Yuhao's side in the future, she naturally doesn't want to miss any opportunity to improve herself.
"Of course, you don't even know where your sister Gillian is here, she's incredibly powerful."
Lie Huoxing said smugly, "Then your martial soul won't be some Evil Fire Phoenix, nor a Fire Phoenix, but a Blazing Fire Phoenix!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao's lips twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but complain, "Senior, the name you chose sounds a bit awful."
"What's wrong with it? It's been called this name for so many years, isn't it?" Lie Huoxing Jiaoshu immediately became anxious. "Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. I'm very good at naming things."
"Oh, young lady. Think about it some more. I'm personally approved by your ancestor, so choosing me definitely won't be a bad choice for you."
The enormous, cockscomb-shaped flower of the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower shook violently, making its final struggle.
"Thank you for your high regard, senior, but my mind is made up. I hope to go further."
As she said this, Ma Xiaotao pulled Huo Yuhao into her arms, rested her chin on his shoulder, and looked at the two immortal herbs.
"After all, my little man is too outstanding. I don't want to just be a pretty face standing next to him in the future."
Upon hearing this, Liehuo Xingjiao couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Even if you absorb me, it probably still won't be enough to overpower you."
However, having finally managed to catch the fast train to immortality, she naturally wouldn't dig a hole for herself, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"That's right, you'll definitely become stronger with my help! Then you can have Huo Yuhao absorb the eight-cornered tree over there, and the two of you can use us to refine your bodies with ice and fire from time to time, which will greatly improve your physique."
"Ah Jiao, you actually spoke up for me? This is truly a miracle."
A clear, cold female voice came from the direction of the adjacent icy spring, filled with undisguised suspicion, "Are you perhaps plotting something wicked?"
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, who has always been an enemy of Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, did not believe that this guy could be so kind.
"Can't I be in a good mood today?" Liehuo Xingjiao retorted irritably.
The fragrant Qiluo Fairy Plant, situated at the confluence of ice and fire springs, trembled gently with its enormous pink petals, emitting a soft, giggling sound.
"Oh my, this is so touching! I never imagined that love between humans could bring Ah Jiao and Ba Jiao back together. As the person in charge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, I am truly overjoyed."
As it spoke, it unfolded all its petals, and the faint fragrance in the air became more pronounced, spreading a refreshing and pleasant sensation.
"Human, you can take me with you. My fragrance can not only cure all poisons, but also calm the mind and spirit. It can also provide some help when that little girl is merging with Ajiao."
Aside from witnessing the soul contract firsthand and providing assistance, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal also wanted to leave the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and see the outside world.
Seeing that the matter was already settled, Phoenix Sunflower knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so she could only helplessly turn her attention to Huo Yuhao, her tone tinged with resentment.
"Human, don't forget what you promised us. You said you would find suitable hosts for us sisters. We don't necessarily need a martial soul of the level of the Evil Fire Phoenix, but it should at least be close to it."
Huo Yuhao nodded and replied earnestly, "A-Kui, don't worry. As a pure yang immortal herb, besides greatly enhancing the abilities of fire-attribute soul masters, your most important value lies in your ability to purify bloodlines."
In this respect, I have several fire-attribute soul masters around me who can match me. Once they also reach the Soul Saint level, I will definitely bring them over.
On this point, Huo Yuhao did not deceive the other party.
Both Wu Feng's Red Dragon Martial Soul and Wu Ming's Golden Crow Martial Soul can further purify their bloodlines with the help of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
Or perhaps, if they were to encounter Ye Guyi again in the future, he could use this immortal herb to activate the power of the true fire of the sun hidden deep within his bloodline, and perhaps then he could recreate the true glory of the six-winged angel from ten thousand years ago.
"Mmm." After hearing Huo Yuhao's assurance, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower felt much better and nodded repeatedly, praising him with a touch of pride.
"Hmph, it seems you know your stuff, kid. You know where my real skills lie."
……
The outer edge of the Starry Sky Forest.
Compared to just over a month ago, when it was an octagonal tower with only three stories, the Spirit Pagoda has now been raised to nine stories.
The exterior walls shimmered with a faint silver light under the morning sun, giving them a sense of grandeur.
Having received the news long ago, Tang Ya, who was waiting at the door, saw Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao walking side by side from afar.
Each of them held a jade box in their hands. One contained an exceptionally clear and fragrant pink flower, while the other contained a red crystal shaped like a cabbage, with a golden-red liquid flowing inside.
Especially since she could faintly hear a series of mutterings from a distance, Tang Ya could almost imagine what the journey had been like, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Xiao Yuhao, Senior Xiao Tao, what's wrong with you two? Why do you both look so worried?"
Before Huo Yuhao and the others could speak, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin shouted loudly, "Why didn't you greet me, little girl? Aren't we the closest and dearest friends?"
The naturally talkative and fragrant fairy product, Yu Luo, had long been thoroughly disgusted by the immortal herbs within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Earlier, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin was even talking to herself, until later when Tang Ya would occasionally enter the undead demiplane to cultivate.
Tang Ya, who was already lively and cheerful with a quirky personality, gradually became friends with Youxiang Qiluo Fairy Products.
Not to mention that Tang Ya, as a plant-type Soul Master, possessed the Dark Blue Silver Grass with the talent of devouring, which made her even more beloved by the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal.
As the king of immortal herbs, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb not only naturally suppresses other immortal herbs, but also possesses the talent to devour the world. It can instantly absorb all the elemental energy in the air and turn it into its own, which is somewhat similar to Tang Ya's devouring talent.
"Youyou, with our relationship, do we really need to greet each other? Shouldn't we understand each other with just a glance?" Tang Ya's eyes crinkled, a mischievous smile playing on her lips as she skillfully responded.
"Is that so?" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin asked somewhat doubtfully. "Wait a minute, I don't have eyes right now..."
Before the fragrant and exquisite fairy product could be investigated further, Ma Xiaotao, who was carrying the box containing the fiery apricot blossom, finally lost her temper and spoke up:
"Senior, please, please say less. I feel that if you keep talking so much when I'm fusing with your soul, your calming and tranquilizing effects will be completely useless, and might even send me to my death."
Liehuo Xingjiaoshu was also shaking uncontrollably, her tone full of impatience:
"Youyou, you really need to stop talking nonsense. Since we came out, you've been talking about everything from the clouds in the sky to the flowers on the ground. I'm not blind, do you think I can't see them?"
"Where did you get your eyes from?" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin retorted.
"hehe."
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward again, Huo Yuhao quickly spoke up, "Alright, Sister Xiaoya, you'd better take us inside quickly. Speaking of which, this is my first time here, so you should give us a proper introduction."
