36 Spiritual Emerald Phoenix

I'll do some timeskips after this.

Also, give this story more Power Stones!

--- Chapter 35 ---

The newly born Phoenix let out an excited cry.

She has never felt so liberated in her life.

She was supposed to die, rotting in eternal limbo. As a residual soul of the True Primordial Phoenix, she accepted her fate already.

Until today, that is.

As if hope descended from heaven, the Kaiju Maker appeared.

He, the Honored One, carried the power to give her a second chance. A brand new sensation or connection linked The Phoenix with her lord, which feels magnificent.

The euphoria she felt at the thought of serving Yu Long is endless.

If she was lucky enough, she might become one with him someday.

After relishing her birth as a kaiju, the Phoenix turned around and flapped her wings to Yu Long. She hovered gently before him, lowering her head respectfully.

"Thank you, Master." 

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much for making me yours~!"

"I will do my best to satisfy you until death do us part~!" The Phoenix said with a dreamy look.

Hold up, why did it sound like marriage's vow?

Yu Long shook his head gently and smiled, "Calling you just Phoenix won't cut it anymore." 

"From now on, you're Yuyan." 

"Yuyan... Yu Yan." A smile formed on the Phoenix's birdy face. A surge of excitement and happiness flowed in her veins.

She flapped her wings faster and replied, "Ah, I have never felt so happy." 

Yu Long ignored Yuyan's infatuated expression as he knew the third kaiju hadn't settled down. After all, this was his first attempt at crystallizing a residual soul and turning it into a kaiju.

Checking Yuyan's status, Yu Long was surprised.

"Damn." 

...

Kaiju No. 3

Species: Spiritual Emerald Phoenix

Grade: S+

Abilities: Primordial Phoenix's Soul, God's Spiritual Imprint, Goddess of Fire, Three-Elements Origins(Wind, Earth, and Fire), Mutated Phoenix's Flame, Queen of the Underground, Lord of the Sky, Treasure Hunting, Transformation, True Nirvana

Yuyan is Yu Long's first-ever S-Grade Kaiju!

She possessed ten freaking abilities.

Five from the residual soul are the Primordial Phoenix's Soul, Goddess of Fire, Mutated Phoenix's Flame, Transformation, and True Nirvana.

The other five are from the essence spheres Yu Long picked. However, he didn't expect her to be this good.

It seems Yu Long still underestimated the power of the Primordial God in this world. Even the residual soul of the Primordial Phoenix possesses such a potential.

Of course, this was possible because of Yu Long's [Kaiju Maker].

"Yuyan, can you transform?" Yu Long asked curiously. 

"Right away, Master~!" Yuyan responded, recalling the emerald radiance back to her body.

Her massive body slowly became smaller as her energy concentrated into a new form.

A stunning, beautiful lady appeared. Her long emerald-green hair was 'gently' draped behind her head. Her eyes were yellowish-red, and her figure was long and slender, covered by a long light green dress that brought out that alluring body. 

She had snowy white hands and four wings that seemed sculpted from jewels and gems extended from behind her back like a coat. They covered her nice E-Cup breast, supporting that heaviness.

Every single feather on her wings was dazzling and eye-catching. Those brilliant and vivid green colors were 'completely' filled with life energy and all that made her seem like a moving and enchanting Goddess.

A literal jade beauty, if you get what I'm saying.

"..." Yu Long swallowed her saliva instinctively. 

Fuck, this is just like Hong Guan all over again! Why the hell women in the Cultivation World are so damn beautiful?

Yu Long was sure his standards were high, but ripe women like Hong Guan and Yuyan were something else.

One is a Dragoness.

Meanwhile, the other is a literal Kaiju Phoenix.

Hmm, Yu Long realizes his tastes become more diverse.

He cleared his throat and asked, "How long can you maintain this form?" 

"Theoretically speaking, as long as I want, Master," Yuyan answered immediately.

"With my Three-Elements Origins, I can recover energy by absorbing the surrounding elemental energy and maintain this form forever."

"Even my Goddess of Fire is enough to supply the energy." 

"I see. In a way, you don't need sustenance from me anymore." Yu Long nodded in satisfaction.

Yuyan's eyes widened as she hurriedly returned, "Although I don't need sustenance, I'd like Master to feed me some essence spheres for my future growth." 

"Of course, this is just my humble request." 

"You know that with your grades, even a middle-grade essence sphere won't bring out your potential, right?" Yu Long was speechless.

Yuyan looked up pleadingly as if she was a dog who hadn't eaten for weeks.

Yu Long's eyebrows twitched, "Fine." 

"I'll give you a high-quality essence sphere once every three days." 

"Thank you, Master~!" Yuyan let out a happy squeal.

"Not so quick, Yuyan." Yu Long sighed helplessly. "At the same time, I also want you to bring more resources into the team." 

"Your [Queen of the Underground] can detect minerals, so it would be nice if you bring me rare ones." 

"Since this planet was 'actually' made by the Evil God, there must be hidden minerals untouched below the ground." 

"And if possible, I want you to hunt profound beasts with rare abilities for me." 

"Yuyan aims to please Master's request," Yuyan responded eloquently.

"Good." Yu Long rubbed the humanoid kaiju's head. "Let's get out of this place first." 

"Mm." 

Yu Long opened his eyes to the real world and saw Yuyan appear beside him. He then realized something.

"What happens to this Trial Ground when you are gone?" 

"It's up to you, Master," Yuyan answered calmly. "What used to be mine is yours now." 

"The Trial Ground would still function well if someone could control the arrays behind it. As for the reward, I believe you have something in your mind." 

"Uh..." Yu Long rubbed his chin. 

"Reward, huh?" 

"This is going to be tough. I can't decide for now." 

"Well, I don't want to change Phoenix Legacy, so I'll leave behind a few drops of Phoenix's Origin Blood and a complete version of the World Ode of The Phoenix later." 

"Not the modified one?" Yuyan blinked her eyes.

Yu Long chuckled, "Do you think the Phoenix Clan could cultivate the World Ode of the Phoenix that I have modified?"

"Beside me, only one person could comfortably do it." 

"Oh?" Yuyan was intrigued. "And that person is?" 

"My adorable sister and follower, Xia Qingyue."

...

Yu Long and Yuyan get out of the Trial Space.

"Yu Long, Young Master, Benefactor Yu!" A collective shouts greeted him.

Yu Long laughed and replied, "Haha, I'm back." 

"How was it, the Trials?" Xia Qingyue was the first to ask, causing Hong Guan to click her tongue.

'Hmm, this woman...' Hong Guan frowned after sensing Yuyan's presence.

Yuyan also noticed Hong Guan's gaze, and she politely smiled at her.

"So pretty." Lily stared at Yuyan's emerald dress.

On the other hand, Feng Baichuan froze on the spot when seeing Yuyan as if he met with the Phoenix God herself.

As Yu Long answered Xia Qingyue's question, the latter's eyes lit up in delight. 

"By the way, in the third trial. You'll experience someone you loved stabbing you." Yu Long mentioned it casually. "And you're there too." 

"E-Eh... Someone you loved." Xia Qingyue blushed, but then she digested the latter part.

Her face paled as she hugged Yu Long, "I-I promise I won't ever do something like that to you, Big Brother Yu Long." 

Yu Long caressed Xia Qingyue's hair and reassured her, "Don't worry. It was just an illusion." 

"I know my Qingyue won't do something bad like that." 

"Mn." Xia Qingyue put on a determined look. She'd rather die than hurt Yu Long.

She glanced at Yuyan and blinked a few times. 

'This woman, her soul is connected to Yu Long's soul...' Xia Qingyue was stunned. 'W-Who is she?'

Feeling the gazes, Yuyan asked Yu Long for permission to introduce herself.

And Yu Long permitted her.

Yu Yuan bowed slightly and introduced herself, "Hello, everyone." 

"My name is Yuyan." 

"I was also known as the Phoenix God."

"...At the moment, I'm just a humble servant of Master Yu Long!" 

"WHAT?!" Feng Baichuan fell on his butt. 

It was unbelievable.

"A-Are you really the Phoenix God?" He trembled, feeling goosebumps all over his body.

Yuyan nodded, "I was." 

"I was only a residual soul left behind by the True Primordial Phoenix." 

"On the verge of dying, Master Yu Long revived me anew." 

"Well, there is an easy way to confirm this." Yuyan lifted her hand and summoned Phoenix Flame. A burst of scarlet flame appeared and increased the temperature in the room.

"Feng Baichuan greets the Phoenix God!" Feng Baichuan fixed his posture and kowtow immediately.

"Phoenix Clan. You guys have suffered so much. Hah, I'm sorry for my negligence." Yuyan lowered her head in shame. 

"No, no, no! Please don't lower your head, Phoenix God." Feng Baichuan hurriedly said. "I just hope you forgive my ancestor's sin." 

"This... I've long forgiven Feng Caimei." Yuyan returned sadly. "Yet, at that time, my other half forced me to hide here." 

"If I ever showed myself, I'm afraid this Trial Ground and even the Phoenix Clan ceased to exist." 

"Once again, I'm very sorry..." 

"Thankfully, we have Master Yu Long now!" She continued solemnly.

"If you want the Phoenix Clan to prosper, following Master Yu Long will be a wise choice." 

"Benefactor Yu, I agree with your proposal earlier. The Phoenix God has already given her wisdom. As the Phoenix Clan's Leader, I must follow her advice." Feng Baichuan cupped his hand to Yu Long.

"Uh..." Yu Long didn't know it was this easy.

When you have a worshiped god on your side, achieving something like this is effortless.

"Alright, let's discuss this matter later." 

"And yeah, Yuyan broke the Phoenix Clan's curse. I'm still tired after helping you." Yu Long waved his hand lazily.

Yuyan knew using [Kaiju Maker] was exhausting for Yu Long, especially to create her, so she replied steadily, "Leave it to me, Master~!" 

Growl!

A growling noise echoed in the room.

Everyone stared at Yu Long.

"Haha, I'm also hungry." Yu Long laughed shamelessly.

"Let's eat something first." 

"Lily, bring out the Bovine's meat. We are going to have a barbeque!" 

"YEY!" Xia Qingyue pumped her little fist.

"Barbeque!"
