A Phoenix Is Born, Fera.

Three months later.

Sorrowsouth Mountain.

The depths of the mountain was now full of green life and the profound energy around was very pure. But nothing was able to enter this place as Ikuya used the God-Gear's ability and cast a Spatial lock around the cave he is staying in as he didn't want the god spirits in the Blue Pole Star to sense the 'money-making' activities he was conducting in this place.

He had stayed here for a total of four months and he has already completed the Alpha transformation.

Ikuya's skin was now more pale white and his muscles were compressed into a well defined body which is not too lean yet not that muscular. Even his Genesis Veins had been completely developed and had adapted to the amount of profound energy he currently has.

Even without using any shortcuts, Ikuya's profound strength had achieved major improvement as his profound strength had broken through from the peak 10th level True Profound Realm into 10th level Spirit Profound Realm in these four months he stayed in the Sorrowsouth Mountain. This was the benefit of having a set overpowered profound veins and having all the profound entrances open.

This was to mention that he can easily breakthrough to Earth Profound Realm if he uses the three Divine Phoenix Pills he has on him. Even one is more than enough.

As time passed, Ikuya continued cultivating within the cave in the depths of the Sorrowsouth mountain, training Ki control, cultivating the "God Mental Force" and developing his own Profound Art.

Ikuya had especially made a huge improvement in controlling the his Ki to almost absolute degree. This was possible because of him having the memories of Son Goku.

" Phew…"

Within the illuminated cave, Ikuya was sitting down cross-legged and meditating. The aura radiating off him was growing stronger by the minute.

The amount of profound energy within Ikuya's profound veins continued increasing and there was something like a profound energy Whirlpool around him, attracting the profound energy in the atmosphere faster at a rapid pace, turning into a cyclone and giving off rumbling sounds like that of wind and thunder.

This phenomenon continued for hours, Ikuya's aura reached a new height as it started to stagnate and compress, ready to erupt at any second.

*Kacha!*

Suddenly, there was the sound of something shattering within Ikuya's profound veins and it was followed by a wave of profound energy from the surroundings surging to his Genesis veins, causing his hair to flutter in the air.

After a while, everything started to quiet down and finally returning to its previous silence.

Once the aura completely died down, the closed eyes of Ikuya who was meditating opened, a blinding light shot out from within his body, a different type of majestic and destructive aura radiated from him.

*Whoosh*

The aura died down and the light within his eyes faded away.

" So this is Earth Profound Realm....."

When everything returned to normal, Ikuya slightly smiled.

Feeling the changes within his body and his aura, Ikuya felt a bit satisfied.

This was the result of his own effort, not with the help of any shortcuts. He has thousands of kilograms of Purple Veined Divine Crystals and even three Divine Phoenix Pills, but he didn't use them.

He simply wanted to see what he is capable of achieving without any outside help. Currently he was feeling a bit satisfied with the results.

Dusk fell, and the sky painted with the glow of sunset started to become peaceful.

When one looked straight up of the giant cliff, they could see quite a few stars already hanging on the deep blue curtain, shining and becoming brighter as time passed by.

In front of the cave, on the vast flat ground, Ikuya stood there looking at the sky as if he was searching for something.

Suddenly, a small bird, which is possibly a sparrow entered Ikuya's sight. He stretched out his hand and a force of attraction erupted from his palm which dragged the small bird flying in the sky towards his palm in an instant.

He then returned to the illuminated interior of the cave and then made the bird lose its consciousness as he set it down.

Afterwards, 10 drops of translucent ruby-red blood with scarlet-gold flames flickering on them from time to time, floated around Ikuya.

These were Phoenix Origin Blood!

By this point, Ikuya has literally more than 10,000 drops of Phoenix Origin Blood.

Ikuya calmed his mind to it's limit and then his eyes illuminated with light blue shine. It was the sign of Ikuya using his Genetic Access power.

The unconscious bird levitated above the ground, then the ten drops of Phoenix Origin Blood turned into countless blood strings as all the blood strings entered the unconscious bird.

It's feathers fell off as it's cells collapsed and reconstructed. Even it's very Genetic Structure was being transformed. The blood strings infused itself into the bone marrows of the bird, eating away at the already existing marrows and creating new red marrows.

Ikuya had a reason for transforming the bone marrows of the bird.

The major function of bone marrow is to generate blood cells. Not only that, but also the production of the non-blood cell components of marrow, including fat, cartilage, fibrous connective tissue (found in tendons and ligaments), stromal cells that support blood formation, and bone cells.

In short, Ikuya was changing the very body structure of the bird. Even while transforming the bone marrows, he was still changing it's existing genetic code by overwriting it with the genetic code of the Phoenix.

Ikuya was also using his Astral-Type Psychic powers(Soul-type psychic powers) to transform the soul of the bird to match the energy signature of the Phoenix, effectively transforming it into a Pseudo-Phoenix soul which will eventually become a True Phoenix Soul.

At the same time, undeveloped Phoenix fire-attributed Profound Veins were also being born within the transforming bird.

In two hours, Ikuya had completed the the transformation of the bird.

In front of him was a beautiful bird with red-gold coloured feathers that shone like the sunlight itself. This bird was the Phoenix. The tail of the Phoenix was as colourful as its body, with blue, green and purple feathers, that combined would be a sight that could transfix and enchant its admirers. It's beautiful golden eyes were very fascinating. It's forehead had a dark gold flame crown mark which made it appear royal and majestic. Albeit the Phoenix's size was no more than that of a normal grown eagle.

" Well, That was a success I suppose. One more thing to do." Ikuya muttered.

Ikuya then placed his hand on the new-born Phoenix as his eyes shined with light blue radiance as he removed a genetic limiter of the new-born Phoenix.

Ikuya didn't do it increase the new-born Phoenix's powers, but to break the bloodline connection between the New-born Phoenix and the original Phoenix. He wouldn't want the god spirits to come after him, if by chance they detect any anomaly.

But it's profound strength had still increased as the profound energy in the surrounding surging into the profound veins of the new-born Phoenix as its profound strength broke through all the way to True Profound Realm.

" Screech!!" The New-born Phoenix cried out as a burst of scarlet flames erupted from it's body after it's breakthrough.

It's physical body size had also increased by almost three times.

" Your name will be Fera from now on." Ikuya said as he looked at the New-born Phoenix which is now named Fera.

" Screech!" Fera cried out in response to Ikuya's words. It's soul had been transformed by Ikuya, hence it's intelligence and comprehensive ability has also been vastly increased to the point even the so-called heaven defying geniuses wouldn't be able to match up to Fera's comprehensive skills.

Later on, Ikuya planned on getting the first four stages of the [World Ode Of The Phoenix] and then imprint the complete [World Ode Of The Phoenix] into Fera.

" Grow well and become a good mount for me by the time I go to the Divine Realm and wreck havoc." Ikuya said with a slight smile as he pat Fera's head.

" Scree!~" Fera hummed as it felt it's 'Father' was 'kindly and gently' encourage it while patting its head.

Phoenix, a legendary Primordial Divine Beast said to be immortal and have flames so bright that it can rival the sun. In terms of actual power, the flames of the sun wouldn't even hold a candle to the Phoenix's flames.

And, such a legendary creature has been created by Ikuya with not much effort.

Ikuya isn't known as 'Zenith' for no reason.

Ikuya, with his Genetic Access ability stands at the pinnacle of all genetics and also possess infinite potential, quite literally.

This was why Ikuya was given the title 'Zenith' by a certain old man back on Earth who possessed 'Absolute Clairvoyance' which was even able to see through Ikuya, although not Ikuya's or his Genetic Access' potential.
