412. The Peacock King's Arrival and the Feng Ling's Appearance

Lin Fei snapped back to reality.

"Is this the voice of countless beings from the earth? Can my Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline hear the voices of all life on the earth?"

A hint of amazement flashed in Lin Fei's eyes. This was essentially a built-in Divine Ability and not an ordinary one at that.

"Let me listen closely once more." Lin Fei focused intently, his consciousness seemingly intertwined with the entire land, continuously delving deep underground and then resurfacing. It felt as if the entire expanse of the land had become his "eyes."

"This... This could be useful for finding rare and precious treasures," he mused. "Even though I'm just at the beginner stage, I can explore roughly within a ten-mile radius. It may seem limited now, but once I reach mastery, transcendence, or even perfection, the range will undoubtedly expand substantially."

Upon further experimentation, Lin Fei realized that the Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline wasn't limited to just exploration. With just a thought, he could detect up to five mountains within a ten-mile radius. And by activating his bloodline, he could "move" these mountains with ease, harnessing their power.

This wasn't the kind of "mountain-moving" Divine Ability that even a Golden Core True Person could use. Such beings couldn't even move ancient divine mountains.

However, Lin Fei's Bloodline could potentially move any divine mountain. As long as he stood on the earth, he could tap into the limitless power of the earth's veins, manipulating the energy and causing the land to turn upside down. Moving mountains would be a breeze. The only downside was the difficulty in cultivating this ability.

Lin Fei returned to the secret chamber within the Dubhe Dao Artifact, searching for other Divine Abilities related to the earth attribute or even those of the earth attribute. Although there were some, they were even rarer. After an extensive search, he only found a few earth or earth-related Divine Abilities and bloodlines. They were indeed "rare", making the Divine Abilities based on them even scarcer.

"This could be a problem," Lin Fei frowned. However, he decided to first integrate these few Divine Abilities into the Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline.

"System." Lin Fei summoned the system panel to take a look.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Mid-stage Martial King

Supreme Saber Dao Bloodline: Perfection

Grand Yin Wind Dao Bloodline: Perfection

Triple Yin True Fire Bloodline: Perfection

Supreme Yang Heavenly Thunder Bloodline: Perfection

Annihilation Frost Bloodline: Perfection

Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline: Beginner (Progress 48%)

Saber World: Perfection

Lin Fei's system panel now displays six bloodlines. Among them, the Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline had only reached 48% progress and was still at the beginner level.

"Earth attribute Divine Abilities are probably rare everywhere," he mused. "Even across the vast Ancient Continent, there might not be many such Divine Abilities. It seems I have to start with the earth veins and ideally find a place rich in earth vein energy and abundant with divine mountains. Maybe then, the Earth Pulse Divine Mountain Spirit Communication Bloodline will improve rapidly."

As Lin Fei was contemplating the cultivation of his sixth bloodline, an enormous divine bird appeared above the Feng Family residence. Its colossal body, thousands of meters in length, obscured the sky. Vibrant rays of color shimmered from its wings. It was the Peacock King!

Many looked up at the sky, their eyes widening in awe at the sight of the Peacock King.

"What kind of exotic beast is that?"

"Such a terrifying aura! This is the Feng family's territory. Why would such a formidable beast appear here?"

"Is it a king-level exotic beast?"

"Moreover, it's heading straight for the Feng family residence. Perhaps it's targeting them!"

Many were thrown into panic, scrambling to escape. However, the Peacock King paid no mind to these ordinary humans. As a king-level exotic beast and a descendant of the phoenix, its intelligence was comparable to that of humans, if not superior. Its primary mission was to seek out the blood of the True Phoenix.

"The blood of the True Phoenix! I'm certain of it!" it thought. "Ever since my mother vanished, no phoenix has been present in the ancient world. Where did this true Phoenix blood come from? Whoever possesses it, I must have it. Perhaps by following the trail of the blood, I can find the Phoenix."

The Peacock King's gaze fixed on the Feng family residence below. It was well aware of the many secrets surrounding the phoenix. Although a phoenix can be reborn from the ashes and doesn't require offspring, it doesn't mean they wouldn't leave descendants behind. For various reasons, a phoenix mated with other exotic beasts, resulting in offspring - the Peacock King!

Of course, there wasn't just one phoenix. After giving birth to the Peacock King, his mother disappeared, rumored to have entered a dormant state, silently waiting for her rebirth. This dormant period might last a very long time.

Having reached the pinnacle of Martial King, the Peacock King could no longer advance due to its bloodline. To ascend further, it needed the true Phoenix bloodline. This urgency was why it hurriedly made its way here. It had been ages since it last sensed the presence of true Phoenix blood. Now, sensing it again, the Peacock King saw an opportunity.

And so, the thunderous voice of the Peacock King echoed throughout the heavens: "Whoever possesses the blood of the true Phoenix, come forth. I know you're hiding among these people. But you should know that, to me, this means nothing. I can kill all of these people and destroy this entire city."

The Peacock King obviously didn't care about these people. But it knew if someone truly did possess the blood of the true Phoenix, And they were from the Feng family, they would certainly care about these people.

At this moment, within the Feng family, some of the family elders, upon seeing the massive exotic beast in the sky, couldn't help but tremble in their hearts!

"It has come, the Peacock King is really here!"

"This is fate! We wish to obtain the blood of the true Phoenix, and likewise, the Peacock King desires it too."

"Only by repelling the Peacock King can our patriarch keep the Phoenix blood and attempt to reach Martial Gods."

"But, is our patriarch a match for the Peacock King?"

These elders were aware of the circumstances and knew why the Peacock King came.

"Peacock King, you've finally arrived."

At that moment, a figure soared from within the Feng family. Feng Ling made her appearance! She had to come forth. It was fate! She obtained the blood of the true Phoenix. The Peacock King would surely know.

For the Peacock King, even if the Feng Ling gave it a portion of the Phoenix blood, it would be of no use. For its transformation, a large amount of Phoenix blood is required. Thus, the Peacock King would inevitably plunder all of the Phoenix blood.

"I recognize you, girl of the Feng family. I didn't expect you to be the one with the blood of the true Phoenix. And since you obtained the Phoenix blood, you must have encountered the Phoenix. Don't deny it. Let me meet the Phoenix. You don't have a choice."

The Peacock King didn't care about a bit of Phoenix blood. Its true aim was the Phoenix itself! But how could Feng Ling lead the Peacock King to the sacred realm? That place is the foundation of the Feng family. It was designed to trap the Phoenix, not the Peacock King.

If it was destroyed by the Peacock King or if the Peacock King absorbed the Phoenix's blood, what would be the point of the Feng family's sacred realm?

That is their foundation. Even if Feng Ling fails in her attempt to reach Martial Gods this time, with the sacred realm and the Phoenix, the Feng family could stand tall forever. They couldn't let the Peacock King destroy their sacred realm.

"Peacock King, even if I tell you I don't know where the Phoenix is, you won't believe me. There's no use talking more. Defeat or even kill me, and naturally, you'll get everything you wish. But if I defeat you, you should go back from where you came. The Feng family is not a place for you to wreak havoc!"

The tone of the Feng Ling was cold, yet she exuded an aura of majesty!
