Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

575. Reunites with the Phoenix, the Phoenix’s Astonishment!

"By the way, let's go see the Phoenix," Lin Fei suggested.

"The Phoenix?" Feng Ling nodded. Initially, the Phoenix had helped Lin Fei, hoping that after he achieved Martial Ancestor status, he would help free the Phoenix from confinement.

However, now that Lin Fei had spent several years cultivating in the Divine Realm, his vision and insights had greatly expanded. He didn't believe that only reaching the level of a Martial Ancestor would be required to rescue the Phoenix.

"Alright, let's go together," they agreed. So, the two of them arrived at the entrance to the secret realm. This was not an actual realm but rather a small world, as described by the Phoenix. However, now that Lin Fei was a True Monarch, entering a small world would risk bursting it. Was this indeed the case?

Lin Fei decided to test it. "Enter!" he declared, and both he and Feng Ling stepped into the entrance.

"Buzz."

In the next moment, Lin Fei found himself inside the realm. However, it was different from what he had imagined. His True Monarch form didn't cause the realm to collapse.

"Wait a moment, this isn't a small world! This is... a True Monarch-level world?"

Lin Fei's heart shook. It seemed like he had sensed the extraordinary nature of this world. It was actually a True Monarch-level world!

Only a True Monarch-level world could accommodate Lin Fei's True Monarch form; otherwise, a small world would surely be shattered. But this Enigma Realm appeared to be unaffected.

Now Lin Fei was curious. To use a True Monarch-level world to imprison the Phoenix was indeed a bold move.

Lin Fei finally understood why the Phoenix had said that only a True Immortal or Martial Ancestor could free it. This was a True Monarch-level world, and if it showed no signs of collapsing, then a True Monarch alone would be helpless. Clearly, it would require someone at the level of a true Immortal or Martial Ancestor to bring the Phoenix out.

"Swoosh."

In no time, they arrived in front of the paulownia tree. They had already spotted the colossal fiery figure perched on the paulownia tree – the Phoenix.

Previously, the Phoenix had been at the divine level, but now that Lin Fei was a True Monarch, his perspective had changed. To him, the Phoenix was no mere divine entity.

This Phoenix appeared to still be in the process of maturing, growing stronger with each passing moment. It was undoubtedly beyond just the divine level, likely at the True Monarch level.

The Phoenix seemed to be resting with its eyes closed but suddenly snapped them open.

"Whoosh."

Its gaze fixed on Lin Fei and Feng Ling, particularly Lin Fei. In its eyes, there was a hint of astonishment.

"Hmm?" The Phoenix said, "Your aura is unusual. You are not a Martial God; you are a True Monarch? But how could you have achieved True Monarch status so quickly since your last visit? Going from Martial God to True Monarch, even with a trip to the Divine Realm, shouldn't have been this fast!"

The Phoenix stared intently at Lin Fei, its eyes filled with shock as if it couldn't believe what it was seeing. True Monarch! Lin Fei had already become a True Monarch!

Lin Fei nodded slightly and respectfully addressed the Phoenix, "Through a fortuitous opportunity, I ventured into the Divine Realm and achieved the status of True Monarch. I initially intended to return to this realm to fulfill my promise to you and help you leave this world. However, it seems that it may be more challenging than I thought. I didn't expect this to be a True Monarch-level world."

Lin Fei had nothing to hide, and the Phoenix remained silent for a long while. Eventually, it let out a deep sigh and said, "You are truly a True Monarch. And you've returned from the Divine Realm. You must know the secret of the Ancient Continent, right? All you need to do is unify the Ancient Continent and perform a heaven sacrificial ritual. Then, you might have a chance to comprehend the great Dao and achieve Martial Ancestor status. Once you become a Martial Ancestor, I might truly have a chance to escape..."

The Phoenix was also filled with excitement. Initially, when it had helped Lin Fei, it had merely played a minor role without harboring great hopes.

However, it was beyond unexpected that Lin Fei had achieved True Monarch status in such a short time, and there was even a glimmer of hope for him to become a Martial Ancestor. This unexpected turn of events brought joy to the Phoenix.

"Yes, senior, this time I returned to the Ancient Continent with the intention of comprehending the Great Dao," Lin Fei solemnly stated. "Although this is a True Monarch-level world, I still want to give it a try, to see if I can help you leave this world."

The Phoenix did not oppose Lin Fei's decision. Instead, it nodded and said, "Very well, you should try it. You'll only be satisfied if you attempt it."

Lin Fei appreciated the Phoenix's understanding and cooperation. "Senior Phoenix, I will give it my best shot."

With the Phoenix's consent, Lin Fei reached out and grabbed it without resistance. He held the Phoenix firmly.

"Let's go."

Lin Fei, along with Feng Ling, headed towards the world's passage that led back to the Feng family. However, while Lin Fei could pass through the passage, an invisible barrier seemed to block the Phoenix from leaving.

"Is there a barrier?" Lin Fei's eyes flashed with determination. He unleashed a powerful punch, and the particles within his physical body instantly erupted.

"Crack!"

The void shattered instantly, even breaking the True Void, which was a level above the Divine Realm's void. However, despite shattering the void, there remained an invisible barrier that still prevented the Phoenix from leaving.

Lin Fei's expression changed as he realized what was blocking the Phoenix. It wasn't just a simple void barrier; it was a barrier composed of all the laws within this world.

Every law in the True Monarch-level world had formed a barrier, preventing the Phoenix from leaving. This was an incredible and extraordinary feat, and Lin Fei had rarely encountered something like this before.

"No use. These laws have formed a barrier. Unless you can break this world, you won't be able to break through these barriers," the Phoenix said with a slight shake of its head, already aware of this outcome.

"Is that so?" Lin Fei's gaze turned icy.

With a thunderous boom, the power within Lin Fei's 5,300 particle worlds erupted. His strength continued to rise. While it was usually difficult for True Monarch-level strength to break the laws of a True Monarch-level world, there were always exceptions. When one's power exceeds the limits of the laws, the impossible could become possible.

Crack!

In the next moment, the Phoenix, which had appeared nonchalant and unimpressed, witnessed one of the laws shattering before its eyes. Its eyes widened in disbelief. Lin Fei had actually managed to break a law!

Even though it was just one law, it was still a law! Despite the existence of countless laws, Lin Fei's ability to break even a single law had already surpassed the abilities of almost all True Monarchs. Perhaps Lin Fei could truly free the Phoenix from its imprisonment!
