Chapter 158 - Sky Wood Stone

”It's a success!”

On the Phoenix Nest's round platform, Tang Huan's face was filled with fatigue. However, as he looked at the empty blue colored ball at the bottom of the pit, his eyes brimmed with an uncontrollable joy.

The process of fusing with the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire” was actually much easier than Tang Huan had expected.

Tang Huan was very clear on the reason for this. Firstly, he possessed a mysterious object like the ”Nine Yang Divine Furnace”, and had absorbed and refined five phoenix feathers beforehand. Secondly, he had benefited from this extremely cool and bizarre round platform, as well as from the blue round ball that was used to bind the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire”.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tang Huan to be this relaxed.

Of course, this sort of ease was only relative. Tang Huan was different from that ”Flamewing Phoenix King.” ”Flamewing Phoenix King” borrowed the heat emitted from ”Nirvana Sacred Fire,” but Tang Huan directly absorbed it. Although there was a cool feeling wrapped around it, the kind of pain that the Spiritual Fire created when shuttling through the Spiritual Meridian was enough to make even one's soul tremble, was not something that could be completely eliminated by the cold feeling.

If one were to compare the two, the pain should be similar to when he was fusing with the True Fire. However, the process of fusing with the Spiritual Fire was far more painful than when fusing with the True Fire.

This round table's coolness had allowed Tang Huan's consciousness to remain awake the entire time, but also allowed him to clearly experience the pain of being burned by the Spiritual Fire for an extremely long period of time.

Now that the Spiritual Fire had been completely absorbed, Tang Huan's entire body felt like he was collapsing, and he couldn't even lift a single finger.

”Yiya!”

The temperature of the palace plummeted, while Xiao Budian jumped up onto the stage and cheered out loud before jumping into Tang Huan's embrace, knocking him into a pit.

Seeing Tang Huan like that, Xiao Budian was immediately shocked, he immediately jumped away from Tang Huan's chest, jumping to the edge of the pit, his eyes blinking, filled with a human look of worry and anxiety.

”It's fine. I'll be fine after a short rest.”

Tang Huan raised his hands and lovingly rubbed Xiao Budian's head, then closed his eyes. But after a short moment, Tang Huan suddenly opened his eyes and laughed, ”Xiao Budian, don't push anything out of your mouth to feed me. I don't want to eat anymore.”

”Yiya?”

Xiao Budian tilted his head and blinked his eyes a few times, looking innocent.

Tang Huan did not speak further, he closed his eyes once again and started to circulate the ”Heavenly Art”. Xiao Budian turned her chubby little body around the pit, constantly scratching her ears and cheeks, as though she wanted to get close to Tang Huan, but was worried of disturbing him, since she was extremely conflicted.

Fortunately, Xiao Budian didn't linger on it for too long. Not long after, Tang Huan woke up from his cultivation and sat up straight.

”Pfft!”

In the next moment, a light voice rang, and a ball of dark red flames the size of a bowl appeared in Tang Huan's right palm at lightning speed.

Almost at the same time the flames appeared, a series of crackling sounds came out from the surroundings of Tang Huan's palm.

”Yiya!”

Xiao Budian jumped three feet into the air in shock. Before she could even land on the ground, her small body had already expanded rapidly, her two fleshy wings flapped with force a few times, and she floated a few metres away. As if he felt that the heat was hard to endure, Xiao Budian slipped all the way to the edge of the round platform before stopping.

Looking around, Xiao Budian could not help but be curious. The sharp horn on his head released a golden light and started to emit a cool feeling, enveloping its entire body.

”Yiya?”

Xiao Budian quickly ran to the edge of the pit and jumped towards Tang Huan's shoulder. When the claws made contact with Tang Huan's body, its swollen body returned to normal.
