Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 2489 Fire Phoenix Treasure Chest

"Well, this is good too."

Davis's solemn expression receded, replaced with a light smile, "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to purify Freya's blood since Everlight went ahead and improved Freya's bloodline tier without my presence, but now, it seems that I don't need to. The Burning Phoenix is an offshoot of the Fire Phoenix. Perhaps, this Fire Phoenix Inheritance Land can help purify Freya's blood essence somewhat."

"I think so too." Shirley agreed, "Fortunately, Freya isn't an immortal beast yet, so this land is immensely beneficial for improving her bloodline tier. Master Lea and Esvele should also bathe in the fires of this land to gain more benefits."

"Bathe?"

Davis sucked in a breath of hot air as he turned to look at Lea with wide eyes. His searing gaze left Lea clenching her teeth and looking away, thinking that it wasn't like he hadn't seen her bare before, so why was he reacting so heavily?

Her cheeks produced a healthy blush before she turned to look at Shirley.

"Shirley, stop calling me your master already. In our hierarchy, you're the senior." Her voice was soothing and shy.

Shirley couldn't help but giggle while looking at her sweet master, "Master, how can I forget how you treated me?"

"Shirley, I know my wrongs."

All Lea knew was extorting blood essence from Shirley in exchange for protection at their first meeting, so what help had she done?

Her face flared with shame to be treated nicely like this by her disciple.

Meanwhile, Shirley blinked. She didn't see that episode as extortion but as a valid transaction since, in the end, Lea did really protect her from her sect's enemies when it mattered. Unlike the other disciples, she had a spatial talisman that would instantly summon the Sect Master to her side anytime, so she was content with the deal.

"Master, can't you see that I'm teasing you by calling you that? I do not intend to blame anything that happened in the past, nor is it your fault for that exchange. In fact, I would've done the same if it meant gaining power."

"…" Lea appeared slightly stunned before a wide smile emerged on her face, "I'm grateful."

"No need to be. I like having fellow women to talk to, especially to those women with whom I can share my treasures like sworn sisters~"

Shirley giggled, her rejoicing expression not having the slightest bit of hypocrisy or falsehood.

However, there was someone who was stunned beyond compare, unable to catch up with Shirley's words.

Esvele didn't understand. Sworn sisters? How was she one?

She was just Shirley's junior sister. If anything, she knew that she had helped Shirley in her pregnancy like a personal maid and taken care of Freya and Eterna in her stead. That was about it. They couldn't be sworn sisters, no?

She was stunned, speechless, but the conversation moved on without her as Shirley brought them all before the Fire Phoenix Treasure Chest once more.

"Have a look for yourselves."

Appearing in front of the structure, Shirley accessed a jade slip with her energy.

Instantly, a vast projection appeared on the grand structure as it projected a variety of categories.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

[Armaments and Artifacts]

"..."

In the mortal realm treasury, there were only treasures like weapons, formations, and pills that would help one rush past their bottleneck or help them understand more about the default law of the inheritance. Moreover, there were a lot of diluted blood essences to go by.

They didn't think that it would be anything different.

"…!"

However, they were stunned to see additional categories present.

[Blood and Soul Essences]

[Heavenly Treasures]

[Divine Techniques]

Everyone's eyes were wide with shock while their expressions churned with disbelief.

"No wonder." Isabella's brows twitched, "This is enough to create a major power, and for a major power to lust after this again and again, wanting to taste it once more is anything but a given. Still… what is this thing called a Divine Technique!?"

"This… I don't know. Perhaps, I wouldn't know unless I managed to unlock it?"

Shirley's smile became sheepish.

Even the instruction jade slip didn't contain any information on it, leaving her at a loss.

Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Ellia in an instant, including Davis.

However, she blinked, appearing innocent. Her pause made her seem like she didn't know, and after dragging it a bit, everyone turned to look away from her with some disappointment in their expression.

"Divine Techniques is as the name derives it to be. It is a peerless technique that is acknowledged by the heavens as the strongest technique of a particular race, bloodline, or character, and in the Fire Phoenix Race, I heard that there were three such techniques in its history, all created by humans and feys with fire phoenix blood."

"What the— if you knew, why didn't you say it?"

Mingzhi and the others turned to look at Ellia, causing her pretty face to break into an innocent smile.

"Well… you're all cute when viewing me with expectation seething in your eyes that I couldn't help but capture this sweet moment in my heart."

Mingzhi's lips parted, unable to believe this was Myria's twin soul.

"Sigh, how did you even come from Myria? You two do not even resemble a bit."

"Hehe, I'll take that as a compliment~"

Ellia giggled before she continued amidst the shock everyone was feeling, including Mingzhi, despite her amused comments.

"Divine Techniques can only be used by an Immortal King Stage expert and above. Even Immortal King Beasts could use it. One could say that it is an extension of their species' technique. However, they fail to remember that in their inherited memories, no matter how hard they try for some reason, which makes it eligible to have the name 'Divine'."

"…!"

Davis and the others expressed their disbelief unanimously. Wasn't this similar to the karmic burden that made things difficult for him in his heavenly tribulation?

"What if I could use it as an immortal?" Davis couldn't help but quickly ask.

On his face was an expression of confidence.

However, Ellia shook her head.

"Well, I won't recommend it because there have been exceptions, and those who managed to use these techniques while still being an immortal ended up being destroyed by the heavenly tribulation. Since these techniques are too strong to be handled, they cause a divine seed, or rather, a flaw seed, to appear in their immortal vessel, which will then explode when their tribulation arrives."

"In other words, it's a direct manifestation of karmic burden since using it by your own will is a way for karma to enter your body and eradicate it as it pleases."

Ellia drew a line over her throat with her thumb and extended out her tongue as she made a fake dead face.

"…"

Her animated expression deserved praise, but they were too dumbfounded by this matter to be uttering anything of concern.

Davis's expression of confidence became frozen. His nostrils flared, and he pursed his lips, looking like he had given up trying to look for or learn Divine Techniques at the moment.

If using something like a Divine Technique is going to create a flaw seed that's going to threaten his life, then using Fallen Heaven was way better. The risks didn't match the usage, belittling the former.

His expression returned to normal. However, he still felt more interested in it.

"If you don't mind me asking, do you know any Divine Techniques, Ellia?"
