Section 3, Wings of Angels

It was not us who indulged, it went down by itself. Tian Zhen got up intending to explain to her superior, and at that moment, she discovered something even more terrifying

Tian Zhen steadied her heart slightly, yet for some reason, she still felt a bit uneasy. When the last rotation was completed, she automatically knelt down on the ground to listen to the instructions of the Phoenix King

The so-called "Heaven in the Pot" is actually a giant hill, several miles in circumference, covered with various trees, predominantly black pines. Looking down from above, it resembles a black lacquered wine gourd lying on the ground

A mirror appeared before me at the right moment

Although the malevolent energy released from this pot of heaven is terrifying, it is beneficial for the cultivation of demons and monsters. However, it is simply too overwhelming, and no one in the Six Realms dares to approach it, let alone use it for their own purposes. Only the reincarnated ancient God of Killing, the Void Sky Demon Emperor, is unafraid of this destructive power. Every year, during the period of earth energy eruption, he comes to this place to draw the malevolent energy to the Demon Realm, assisting his subordinates in their cultivation.

We will start anew

Tian Zhen was lost in sorrow when he heard the reproachful voice of Prince Chaohua behind him: "Little Phoenix is being lazy!"

Feathers continued to fall, and surprisingly, wisps of light smoke began to rise from the body

Traversing thousands of miles across the Heavenly River from the Heavenly Palace, she encountered numerous checkpoints along the way. Fortunately, a pair of wings clearly indicated her origins. Seeing that her identity posed no suspicion and that she was on a mission from the Lord of Morning Radiance to gather herbs, the celestial soldiers on guard waved her through. Tian Zhen took the opportunity to inquire about the route and soon arrived at her destination

Wang. Tian Zhen stood up straight, adjusting his facial expression

In Tian Zhen's eyes, at this moment, that hand was simply extremely warm, holding onto her all the way, neither too loose nor too tight, until they reached the entrance of the rear hall, where it finally let go

Moon Clan? Do the people of the Moon Clan want to kill us? Tian Zhen was puzzled, and at the same time, her heart, which had been in suspense, gradually began to settle down. It is rare for the Lord Demon God to be in a good mood, not in a hurry to create cannon fodder

Little Phoenix, "Zhao Hua Jun looked at her, his tone somewhat strange, 'Where exactly did you come from?'"

Tian Zhen first smiled, then his face turned pale, followed by the corners of his mouth drooping, and finally he covered his face and ran out of the hall in tears

This question is quite sensitive, and Tian Zhen secretly felt that something was amiss. He attempted to deflect the situation with a laugh, but unexpectedly, the maid beside him answered first: "She is the king's personal maid, having only recently taken on human form, and encountered a bit of... an accident."

Everything that should be there is present, and I have finally become a stunning beauty

Zhaohua Jun also instinctively held her like a bird, but quickly let go: "Come, follow me back to the palace."

"In this way, it is not too unsightly." Chaohua Jun patted her phoenix wings

When given the opportunity to go out and have fun, Tian Zhen naturally agreed and set off.

Tian Zhen pondered for a moment and tentatively pointed at the wings, asking, "Is there any way to... make it white?"

Mentioning this, Tian Zhen's gaze wandered, and he coughed twice more

Zhaohua Jun understood that it was due to the repulsion between true qi and the inner elixir, so he said nothing and quickly walked over to guide her

Whose hand is this! Is there a woman behind us?

For the first time, Tian Zhen was astonished, flying over to stand at a distance and gazing inside. There seemed to be flickering lights, half bright and half dark, with an endless landscape, serene woods, flowing streams, and blooming flowers. In the distance, the mountains undulated... It was as if there were another world.

Still not giving up, pursuing the leader all the way here, Tian Zhen felt as if she had been granted a great pardon, shaking her head. Suddenly, she noticed Hengyue Ji walking while covering her mouth with her hand, whispering something to the close maid beside her, who then turned her head to glance at her.

Uncontrollably, the long legs were lifted

Beautiful breasts, achieved!

Stunned by this effect, Tian Zhen sat down dejectedly

Tian Zhendao: "It is easy for Wang to say, but who in this world does not love beauty"

Usually, everyone arrives to pay their respects only after transforming. However, with Tian Zhen just having taken human form and the Phoenix King by her side, the royal aura is too overwhelming, prompting an automatic dance of tribute.

Tian Zhen turned her face and glanced, speechless

In the embrace of leadership, Tian Zhen felt somewhat better

"Go out and try again," Zhao Huajun promptly restrained those wings, suppressing a laugh as she pulled her to the table, "First, let's eat our fill"

The gray feathers scattered on the ground automatically flew up, swirling around Tian Zhen, transforming into a black and gray garment that enveloped her. It was neither too big nor too small, seemingly elastic, light, and comfortable

Zhao Huajun could not help but smile, and remarked: "Appearance is external, while cultivation is internal. It is quite easy to have a good appearance; transformation is simple. However, achieving success in cultivation is exceedingly difficult. You have obtained an inner elixir, such a fortunate opportunity; how can you belittle yourself over mere appearance?"

A faint stream of vapor emerged from the gourd's mouth, colorful and resplendent, drifting and rising until it dissipated in mid-air, creating a scene of remarkable beauty

In the face of such an unexpected event, even she herself did not know how to explain it. Understanding the blow this woman had received, Zhao Huajun lightly coughed, pulled her up from the ground, and embraced her, saying: "Do you plan to hide here and never go out again?"

Zhao Huajun expressed satisfaction: "As long as you understand, what are your plans?"

Damn, that Dan has side effects

Barbecue! Tian Zhen had this thought, but upon careful consideration, he felt it was not right. He did not feel any sensation of being burned; instead, he felt an incredible sense of comfort in his limbs and a strong desire to stretch.

Zhao Huajun naturally grasped her wrist

With long hair cascading down, beneath a golden forehead ornament, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes emitted a dangerous light, and the delicate face took on a distinctly dark aura, revealing the presence of the Void Sky Demon Emperor

There is integrity ... ! ... shot in the head. ! Tian Zhen opened one eye, trembling as he gazed at the headless corpse, along with the incessantly gushing red liquid

Seeing her face, Tian Zhen was taken aback. Initially intending to avoid her, he then thought that since he had transformed into a human form, she should not be able to recognize him. Thus, he lowered his head and retreated to the side of the corridor pillar, folding his wings and trying his best to blend in as an ordinary passerby

Regarding the issue of serving the Heavenly Court, Tian Zhen intends to deliberate carefully and is merely looking around.

Seeing that she seemed unconvinced, she said to Huajun: "What, is there still something to say?"

This is ... ...

We didn't plan to move, did we? Tian Zhen sensed something was amiss and hurriedly corrected herself, but helplessly, it seemed as if an unseen force was forcibly controlling her body. Not only could she not retract her outstretched leg, but her arms, which were holding the *picture* book, also began to rise, and her waist started to twist, unexpectedly making her dance.

The sharp-eyed maid was pulled over and asked, "Little Phoenix, have you seen the king?"

Truly deserving of being a leader, your thoughts are profound! Tian Zhen repeatedly agreed.

As a phoenix, not understanding the language of birds and not consuming the essence of practice is indeed a peculiar matter

The goddess in a purple dress, elegantly adorned, walked while laughing and said: "It has been a long time since I last visited the Feather Desert Heavenly Palace, and the scenery remains unchanged by even a little."

The great demon does not favor those with backbone! Tian Zhen fell to her knees immediately, her legs giving way.

The guard was also subdued by that aura, turning back in a daze to look.

"Huang'er," the Lord of Chaohua called to her, specifically reminding her, "The world within the pot is perilous, filled with malevolent energy. You must never enter, and it is not permissible to collect... it is of no consequence."

Nourished by the rich earth, this area is home to countless exotic flowers and herbs. The Zhu fruit is a common side food in the divine realm, suitable for both consumption and medicinal use. It is neutral in nature, sweet in taste, and has the effect of invigorating energy and promoting circulation. In less than half an hour, Tian Zhen had gathered a considerable amount. Noticing that there was still time, he simply sat down on the ground and began to eat them one by one.

Zhao Huajun shook his head, smiling as he raised his hand: "I am giving Huang'er a gift"

A gray feather has fallen

Gliding down, Tian Zhen touched his wings to comfort himself. Well, they may look a bit unsightly, but they are powerful. If it weren't for the advanced transportation industry in the celestial realm, we could even consider starting an aviation business. Generating electricity with wind power from fans would definitely not be out of the question

Beautiful arms, got it!

In the muffled sound, something flew away from the guard in front of me

A slim waist, got it!

After confirming, Tian Zhen could not contain a surge of joy, quickly waving his arms to disperse the smoke that was entwined around his body, eagerly observing his new form

A deep and resonant voice, filled with surprise and displeasure

A fierce wind struck the face, the light at the spout flickered, and a tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared

Blood pressure skyrocketing, Tian Zhen exerted all his effort to control the urge to have a nosebleed, forcing a smile.

The leader has become suspicious? Tian Zhen is on alert

"It's nothing, let's go." Hengyueji no longer looked at her and walked forward

Damn, still not dressed! Jumping around like a fool!

Looking at the slightly ajar door and the room owner outside with a frown, Chao Huajun for the first time in his life uncharacteristically curled his lips, pushed the door open, and went in. After searching around, he indeed found Tian Zhen, who was huddled in the corner wiping her tears.

The scene in the hall became even more eerie, as a naked woman danced gracefully around the white-clad divine king

Until the black and gray feathers scattered all over the ground, observing whether there was a continuing trend, Tian Zhen finally realized that we are not old yet, so why are we starting to lose feathers!

The entire skeletal structure contracted and twisted in a chaotic manner, accompanied by excruciating pain, and it seemed that there was also an issue with the eyes. Everything in the hall... became increasingly larger, including the desk, chairs, and vases

The demon god was enraged, narrowing its phoenix-like eyes, as a fierce killing intent swept forth.

two pieces, three pieces, four pieces

The guard, still unaware of his identity, waved his knife and arrogantly declared: "Rascal! The warriors of the Moon Clan are commanded by the Heavenly Realm; how could they fear a mere demon like you? Do not speak further!"

Under the gaze of His Majesty, Tian Zhen felt a wave of dizziness, nearly fainting.

Zhao Huajun did not pursue the matter further. Upon first meeting Tianhai, she lost her true nature and mistakenly entered a flock of chickens. She must have truly forgotten. He slowly straightened up and looked at the empty box on the ground, murmuring to himself: "Is it like this... Is it really like this?"

You do not recognize me, you do not recognize me... Tian Zhen replied calmly: "Wang is in the back garden"

Zhaohua Jun tried to comfort her: "These divine wings are a gift from heaven, truly rare. As long as you learn to use them, you will naturally discover their benefits"

Tian Zhen was astonished: "Who are you?"

The goddess? The maidservant sensed something was amiss, feeling puzzled

Light as a swallow, stepping with a peculiar gait, dancing rhythmically

Wow, Tian Zhen was almost looking at him with admiration, big brother has integrity

However, the reality is that Tian Zhen is shrinking

Little did she know that this place, known as the "Heaven of Extreme Slaughter," is a land of great malevolence. The earth's energy surges and breeds sinister qi, which accumulates to a critical point and then erupts once a year, lasting for ten days. During this period, it continuously emits ominous energy outward, forming a colorful aura. By sheer coincidence, she encountered it this time, and even from a distance, she could not escape its slight influence

Benefits? Tian Zhen commanded as he flapped his wings

The hand of a young woman, with skin that is crystal clear and delicate, slender and graceful, is exceedingly beautiful

With his assistance, the source of true energy flowed continuously into the dantian for a thousand years, as if being absorbed by something. The pain lessened, and while Tian Zhen felt grateful, he noticed that his massive body had shrunk significantly. To his surprise, it turned out that this item was a Bone Shrinking Pill. If he took another one, could he shrink back to a small bird?

The gaze shifted to her, the intent to kill unwavering

The warmth of the hand transferred to the face, Tian Zhen coughed twice. The leader has an open mind; if it weren't for having witnessed you refuse the beautiful woman's company in the bath, we would certainly think you were taking advantage of your position to exploit your subordinates.

The light laughter was laden with meaning, sending shivers down Tian Zhen's spine

"Are you also trying to provoke me?" The voice of the demon god slowly echoed, "Bird Woman?"

Tian Zhenan felt a bit dizzy at the same time

With a loud "bang," not only did it successfully bring Zhao Huajun back to his senses, but Tian Zhen was also left dazed and bewildered.

Zhao Huajun extended a hand to help her up, and in the midst of his actions, he unconsciously furrowed his brow, feeling increasingly perplexed, yet his expression remained impassive: "Clever little Huang'er, you have entered the divine registry, and from now on, you must remember the heavenly rules and serve the Heavenly Court, do you understand"

As expected, two unfriendly gazes swiftly shot towards her.

These wings are truly unremarkable, dull and gray. She originally wanted to comfort herself with the notion of "angelic symbols," but no matter how she looked at them, what sprang to her mind was still "birdman"

The Eternal Moon Princess's beautiful eyes sparkled as she scrutinized Tian Zhen for a moment, then smiled and said: "Is your name Xiao Huang'er?"

As soon as the head of the book was raised, the hand immediately recoiled and slapped her across the face

The changes came so swiftly that the shock to her spirit far surpassed the pain of her body, and she quickly fell to the ground, partly in pain and partly in fear

Okay, we admit it has its benefits. It can be used as a powerful electric fan when it's hot.

Zhao Huajun nodded with a smile: "But beauty is limitless; where there is beauty, there will be greater beauty. Who can claim to be the most beautiful? Beauty is important, yet it is not the only thing. If one cannot be beautiful, one can seek other qualities, just as the strong, the capable, the virtuous, and the wise, though different, each have their own merits that cannot be replaced by beauty"

This true qi and inner elixir can be likened to water and the cup that holds it; the inner elixir is the cup. Without the cup, the water would flow uncontrollably in all directions. Cultivating the inner elixir equates to advancing to a higher level of cultivation. However, the inner elixir that Tian Zhen possesses is not one she cultivated herself, and forcibly subduing the original true qi will inevitably lead to rejection.

Upon hearing these words, Tian Zhen's heart suddenly sank. After living together for several months, how could she not be familiar with this leader's style? It is truly beautiful; would he really say such a thing? Moreover, he even used this typical tone of consolation. Furthermore, even if the Tian Gong Feng clan dresses simply, it is still in white. If there were nothing amiss, why would they specifically give us a set of gray garments?

The death elixir left by the Saint of the Nameless has exerted its influence in this manner, yet the doubts in the heart of Lord Chaohua have only increased. This is because he has discovered that, aside from achieving a human form, there are no significant changes in all aspects of Tian Zhen's physical condition. His constitution is, in fact, the weakest among the divine race, and his progress in cultivation is exceedingly slow. Nevertheless, he continues to strictly supervise Tian Zhen's training, hoping for a miracle to occur

If it were not for the bird, Tian Zhen would certainly choose to slap himself to clear his mind, in order to discern whether it is reality or a dream

Tian Zhen let out a sound of "Oh"

Don't! We are willing to be a gray bird, even a big gray bird is fine

Upon hearing this sound, Tian Zhenxin's heart skipped a beat, and then her legs began to tremble. She knew that at this moment, she absolutely could not run away, unless she wanted to quickly become cannon fodder

Tian Zhen shouldered through the garden gate in haste, only to unexpectedly collide with a group of people as soon as she turned the corner of the corridor. It was a few maidservants leading a divine lady towards her.

The leader's performance showed no abnormalities, and Tian Zhen would never praise him for his composure, because what he was certainly paying attention to at that time was not the naked woman

Instinctively sensing danger, Tian Zhen also speculated that the air was toxic. Recalling the warning from Prince Chaohua, he immediately retreated several dozen zhang.

Bird woman bird woman bird woman bird woman

Zhaohua Jun was completely at a loss for words, and after a while said: "Well, since you have nothing to do, I will assign you a task. Go north from Yumo Tian Gong to a place called Huzhong Tian. There are many red fruits growing outside Huzhong Tian. Go and pick some back to refine medicine with them"

Zhao Huajun still stood beside her, quietly watching her, showing no signs of surprise, with a somewhat contemplative expression, his gaze perplexed and slightly conflicted

However, in conjunction with a series of bizarre occurrences within the hall at this moment, Tian Zhen could not perceive it as beautiful; instead, it felt rather chilling.

A hint of embarrassment flickered in her phoenix-like eyes. Chaohua Jun did not shy away; instead, he calmly observed her for a few moments, seemingly surprised. After a while, he slightly averted his gaze and smiled: "Once the Phoenix clan attains human form, they must come here to pay homage to the royal aura in order to enter the divine registry. Experiencing the royal aura for the first time, with the phoenix song and the phoenix dance, thus..."

A slick roasted chicken appeared in my mind, and Tian Zhenhan's hair stood on end, forgetting even to call for help—this is a serious issue. If I can barely tolerate being a bit ugly, what will happen if I lose all this fur? Will I have to run around naked in the future?

Hengyue Ji suddenly asked: "Have you just acquired a human form?"

With the body of a deity, not only did her reflexes become sharp, but her movements also became much more agile. Tian Zhen instinctively dropped the fruit and rolled away. When the loud noise subsided and she turned to look, she saw that the ground where she had been sitting was now marked by a crack two zhang long. Had she not dodged quickly, that strike would surely have landed on her.

The guard, resembling a servant, made a misstep with a single move and did not respond. He intended to strike again with his knife, but unfortunately, before he could make his move, someone behind him let out a long "hm" sound.

There truly is a beauty in the mirror, with a nose and eyes.

Tian Zhen was stabbed, breaking into a cold sweat as he stared at Zhao Huajun for a long time, finally uttering his first words: "Can you... make it stop?"

While enjoying the meal, a faint sound of wind suddenly arose, and a cold light flickered on the ground

The guard, likely newly appointed and inexperienced, foolishly asked, "Who are you?"

Tian Zhen wept tears

With her long brows slightly furrowed, she quickly relaxed and released Cha Huajun, asking: "How has your spellcasting progressed?"

The reflection in the water clearly conveys to everyone that, regardless of time and place, wings are always the most radiant and dazzling. In more elegant terms, wings represent the public image of Tian Zhen, who has reached the highest realm of the unity of man and wings.

The weather has been exceptionally fine for two consecutive days, with bright sunshine and gentle breezes. The scenery of the Feathered Heaven Palace is picturesque; however, some people's moods remain unable to brighten up.

"Ignorant Moon Clan," the Demon God said with his hands behind his back, "I give you a chance, serve me faithfully."

Am I not dreaming?

Unconsciously stretching her body, she then saw a hand

Without a doubt, Hengyueji has already recognized herself, and Tian Zhen quickly slipped towards the palace gate

The maid smiled and said: "No wonder there is none in the rear hall, it turns out they are in the garden, invited by the goddess."

Dancing naked in front of the leader with gray wings, claiming not to care is undoubtedly false. Coupled with the provocation of the bird-like figure, Tian Zhen has no mind to cultivate spells. Often sitting by the pond, she indulges in self-pity, receiving more mocking or sympathetic glances.

Is this what is meant by "the sky in the pot"?

Brother, you are truly fortunate, Tian gazed at him as if he were an alien, with death looming, being confused is also a virtue, at least it saves the step of 'being afraid'

In an instant, a fierce wind swept through the hall, books were knocked off the shelves, chairs were overturned with a loud bang, papers on the table flew about like snowflakes, the entire hall creaked ominously, seemingly on the verge of collapse

Beautiful legs, got it!

Little Phoenix is still very beautiful
