The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 339 - 172: There is No Goose Like Me in this World, Only Because They Don’t Know the Name of the Immortal! _2

"Old Green Phoenix??"

Ye Hanjun was slightly surprised; this was no ordinary species.

"That’s right! You didn’t mishear! It’s the ’Old Green Phoenix’!"

Seeing the much-appreciated patron lose his composure, the Goose Immortal cackled loudly, filled with excitement:

"Seems like you know quite a bit; you have some understanding of these races."

"So you should know that the ’Green Phoenix’ is a special kind of Feather Clan. They should have been glorious, but because their bloodlines have degenerated, they need to grow again."

Ye Hanjun nodded faintly.

The weakest Green Phoenix is at the 6th Rank of the Heaven and Earth Stage. The strongest can reach the Shining World Fetus at the Eighth Level.

Once it ascends to the 9th Level and triggers evolution again, it can become the ’Blue Phoenix’."

And the Blue Phoenix — is the true Divine Enthronement Fetus! Also known as a "Holy Beast"!

As long as there is no divine promotion or title, such a Fond Spirit is synonymous with invincibility, hailed and worshipped by all creatures, wherever it goes.

"That Green Phoenix is too old, it struggled all its life but couldn’t even reach the Shining World Fetus, let alone the Holy Saint Embryo."

"But it has a strong sense of crisis, always worried it is the last descendant of the Blue Phoenix. If it dies, with no one left to carry on, the Blue Phoenix lineage would become extinct, and it would be too shameful to face its ancestors even in death."

"With this persistent thought, my bargain of a master, at the end of his life, decided to conduct an experiment no matter the cost."

"It started searching for Mud-cast fetuses with decent bloodlines, then forcibly condensed its already thin Blue Phoenix Saint Blood."

"In this way, by feeding with diluted holy blood, it hoped that among the tens or hundreds of experimental subjects, some avian creature could absorb and refine it. Even if it just inherited a tiny bit, it would have a chance to graft onto the Blue Phoenix bloodline in the future."

"Unfortunately, most of the Holy Beast Blood, which contained extremely intense laws and energy, was not something that lower beings could easily absorb."

"Almost all of the experimental subjects were wiped out, nine out of ten, directly exploded."

"The few that survived, although their bloodlines appeared to mutate, didn’t live for many years and also spontaneously combusted."

"Yours truly, as the only individual who absorbed the saint blood, experienced mutation, and still jumps around today... Isn’t that amazing?"

At this point, the Goose Immortal’s nostrils pointed to the sky again.

But this time, Ye Hanjun didn’t refute.

If there was no exaggeration, and the story unfolded as such, then no matter how cocky the Goose Immortal was, it was justified.

"Ha ha ha, I see you agree!"

The Goose Immortal laughed with a goose-like cackle, slyly saying:

"Since that’s the case, let me, in my humbleness, come right out and tell you."

"Although I managed to absorb saint blood, triggering a significant beneficial mutation, I couldn’t carry out Old Green Phoenix’s last wish."

"Can’t be helped, matters of bloodline, it’s not something I have any say in."

"The miraculous benefit that I, the grand immortal, got was being transformed from a ’Savage’ to a ’Heavenly’ form. I became a new branch of the Iron Wings Goose, fulfilling the so-called primordial Feather Clan!"

"As for the Blue Phoenix — it has nothing to do with me."

"In keeping with the Goose Doctrine, in the future, I can search for Old Green Phoenix’s kin, I don’t believe that in the vast world, it would be the last descendant of the Blue Phoenix, there must be siblings!"

...

Ye Hanjun woke up from his stupor.

Leaving out the exaggerated parts, the Goose Immortal’s past was indeed extraordinary.

Its experience was something uncommon for fond spirits to have; whether it’s luck or other factors, this Blood Covenant Mark he got was definitely worth it.

"You black-haired human, do you know why I am looking for a Blood Covenant Patron?"

"No other reason, I have a great dream that I, being the grand immortal, might not be able to complete alone."

"After much consideration, finding a partner would be the best choice."

"And then, you humans are famously unique. Once a Blood Covenant is established, we’re as close as brothers, what’s yours is mine, what’s mine is yours... how good is that!"

The Goose Immortal shook its head and spoke honestly.

Ye Hanjun raised his eyebrows and directly asked:

"Is it the Holy Nest you mentioned earlier that you want to establish?"

"Of course!"

The Goose Immortal suddenly exclaimed excitedly:

"Am I supposed to live this life as a dreamless salty goose, not knowing where my path is, not knowing my ultimate destination?"

"I, the Grand Immortal — must become a Holy Fetus! I must establish my own Holy Nest!"

"I want the three words ’Goose Immortal’ to ring throughout the entire Feather Clan!"

"Some day, if I am close to making further progress, I want to unify the Feather Clan, if I can unite this scattered clan, such an honor will make me famous forever, and I will be immortal!!"

The Goose Immortal spoke passionately, as if its entire body’s blood was burning in excitement.

It was too excited, too thrilled, like a roaring mountain, a thundering earth, its ambition threatening to burst out from within.

"Well, well, well..."

Ye Hanjun was speechless.

No wonder its Core Personality was labeled ’Ambitious’.

This guy really wanted to reach for the heavens. Just by getting some rare holy blood, and then being born with spirit wisdom, unexpectedly forming a unique lineage, it already wanted to meddle with the Holy Fetus.

That’s not all, it even daydreams about making progress beyond achieving the Holy Fetus, and aiming for Divinity.

——Daydreaming, are we?

Not to put the goose down, but you should ask the Old Green Phoenix’s ancestors, those pure-blooded Blue Phoenix.

Even if they were invincible, has any of them ever been able to reach that level?

Divinity... is far harder to reach than the Holy Saint!

It’s the hardest chasm to cross; one step short is a distance of millions and millions.
