Phoenix God Fruit (2)

At the former Pheonix God Legacy Trials, an enormous God Tree was sprouting majestically, while the formerly flaming realm was right now nowhere to be seen as the God Tree had drained everything. 

Everything in the vicinity was being used as the source of energy and fertilizer for the germination of the God Tree, which was now fully bloomed, with several bloody red fruits hanging on the crown of the God Tree.

All of the Fruits that were birthed by the God Tree contained the Bloodline of the Phoenix God and also its very own Essence and Soul.

Every single Phoenix God Fruit, as Yakou called them, contained tremendous power. 

All three of us observed the God Tree that was sprouting the Phoenix God Fruits as they counted around fifteen of them, which was actually a lot.

Not to mention, the sole purpose of these fruits was reforming the cultivator's body and getting rid of the Bloodline Curse.

After someone from the Phoenix Clan would eat the Phoenix God Fruit, the person would be automatically freed from the Bloodline Curse, and obtain an evolved Phoenix Bloodline, and automatically transition to the cultivation system of Profound Laws and Mysteries.

"We should go and pluck them... the fruits are ripe, and they could be used instantly."

Yakou said as Ōtsutsuki Kirihara then went to the God Tree and started plucking the Phoenix God Fruits one by one. When she finished plucking all fifteen of them, she passed them in the dimensional pouch to Yakou.

"We can move onto the next steps of our plan then..."

Now that they had the Phoenix God Fruits, as Yakou termed them nicely, they could distribute them to the Phoenix Clan, and he could obtain their vassalage and depart to collect more Legacies before he would be recalled from the Primal Chaos Dimension Origin World.

The territory of the Phoenix Clan, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range...

The Patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, Feng Zenmnin, was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard of his manor within the village of the Phoenix Clan while he was observing the village.

It was a tranquil and peaceful place... ironically though, their Bloodline Curse was a certain blessing in one aspect, in that one, it was protecting the premises of the village from the Profound Beasts.

Not Profound Beasts dared to cross the imaginary lines that were outstretched by the Phoenix when it cursed them. Thus, the place became their safe haven within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range as it became their very own prison that they couldn't leave.

Yet, as they were relatively deep within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, they were also protected by the place itself from various mercenaries, cultivators or other unsavory elements that would want to exploit them.

Still, as someone who bore the noble blood of Phoenix, Feng Zenmnin was a very ambitious man, an ambitious man who wanted to achieve greatness and obtain great power and might.

Something that seemed to be night impossible with the Bloodline Curse flowing through their very own existence. Thus, he dreamed of the greatness and of the power that should be rightfully belonging to the Phoenix Clan.

And it was even worse considering the state of the Divine Phoenix Sect within the former Grand Asura Kingdom, now renamed as Divine Phoenix Sect, that ruled over the vast territories of the Profound Sky Continent.

It was indeed cruel fate... certainly, it was...

But unaware to him... it wouldn't last for long because there was someone who was hell-bent on obtaining the entire Phoenix Clan for their war machine. 

Suddenly, as he was meditating there, he noticed a group of three people approaching their village, the very same group of people that arrived some time ago and were clearly not natives of the Profound Sky Continent.

He felt when he was talking with their leader like he was making a deal with the Devil himself because when he looked at the pale-skinned horned man with an ethereal expression, he felt a great deal of uneasiness and danger.

Yet he also felt a great opportunity to finally be freed from the Bloodline Curse and reclaim what should be theirs and rise to greater heights than anyone could imagine. 

Thus, he helped the man with what he wanted and told them everything they wanted to know. The trio then approached his villa, which was in the middle of the village and directly headed to his courtyard.

Ironically, though, even though it was a villa, it was relatively small and humble, like the rest of the buildings within the village of the Phoenix Clan.

"We came to fulfill our part of the bargain."

The man leading the two women there said with a casual voice as he looked at the Patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, who attempted to hold his emotions at bay, but not no vail as a lone tears started escaping both of his eyes.

"Here there... these are the Phoenix God Fruit... there are a total of fifteen of them, and even a single bite would automatically banish your Bloodline Curse, give you great power, a new cultivation system, and tremendously evolve your Bloodline."

Ōtsutsuki Yakou said as he handed him the dimensional pouch filled with the Phoenix God Fruits as Patriarch Feng Zenmin held the dimensional pouch with an almost fear-like expression and care.

"What if someone eats the whole fruit instead of one bite?"

Feng Zenmin asked with a mixture of curiosity and greed in one as he looked at Ōtsutsuki Yakou with great reverence and at the dimensional pouch that the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan passed him with great excitement and greed in one.

"Then the one would obtain far greater benefits than you can ever imagine. While the purpose of these Phoenix God Fruits isn't to give you the power but rather get rid of the Bloodline Curse, the evolution of your Bloodline and some other minor benefits, if you eat the whole fruit, then your power would grow exponentially within a very short time."

Ōtsutsuki Yakou answered plainly because he knew that Feng Zenmin planned to spare four fruits for himself, his wife, son and daughter to establish a new Lineage that would be the future Imperial Lineage of the Phoenix Clan.

His son and daughter would eat each and then marry to create a new generation of the stronger Phoenix Clansmen as the wheels of the Patriarch's mind started turning at furious speed.

In the cultivation-based world, or rather in worlds with concepts of powers and so on, incest was never a serious problem that would be detrimental to their genome.
