Chapter 1357: Phoenixs Innate Gifts (2/2)

The rest of the group held their breaths and listened carefully.

Li Qiye went on: “These are creatures that only exist in tales. I’m afraid no one has seen a real divine beast. Many records state that not only are they powerful, they’re also priceless. Even a single feather of theirs is precious! However, for the truly mighty crowd like Immortal Emperors, this isn’t the cause for the beasts’ temptation.”

“What’s the most tempting characteristic about them then?” Qianbei couldn’t help but ask since Li Qiye stopped for a moment.

Li Qiye looked at him and revealed: “Their innate gifts. They’re not things races like us can have in this world.”

“What are these gifts?” Ruyan was also fascinated by this topic.

Li Qiye gently shook his head in response: “There are too many to say because each of these divine beasts has their own unique gift. In fact, because too few have seen real divine beasts, we don’t really know much about these special gifts. Of course, some are also extremely well-known.”

He went on: “For example, we were talking about the phoenix earlier. What is the innate gift of a phoenix? Rebirth through fire!”

Everyone was shaken after hearing these words. Rebirth was a pipe dream many people yearned for. Even emperors researched it thoroughly.

Li Qiye elaborated: “Of course, not just any phoenix can achieve this. Only when they attain a certain amount of strength would they be able to use their gift of rebirth.”

While the group was silent, Li Qiye smiled and said: “Why do emperors covet it so much? Rumor has it that when a phoenix is at the peak of its power, it could be reborn forever.”

“Continuously?” The daoist was startled.

Li Qiye exclaimed with a grin: “To put it another way, eternal reincarnation and permanent immortality!”

The group was astounded once more after hearing this. Rebirth alone was already enough to make everyone wish for it. An endless number of rebirths was most likely un.o.btainable even for emperors. It was too tempting!

“Does the world really have a reincarnation cycle?” Jians.h.i.+ thought about something else. This matter felt too surreal. Repeated reincarnation for immortality was quite frightening.

“I don’t know.” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: “This is only a legend. It is already hard to see a real phoenix, let alone one at its apex. Such a phoenix will definitely only be found in legends.”

The group fell into silence after hearing this. As for Xiong Qianbei, he didn’t even dare to think about it. He could only consider it as part of a myth since it was too unreachable for him.

After a while, Ruyan asked: “What about the gift of a true dragon?”

Li Qiye laughed and looked at her with a mysterious grin: “If you see an actual true dragon one day, I’ll tell you its innate gift.”

“Jerk.” She pouted with dissatisfaction but didn’t pry further.

Li Qiye stopped talking and looked at the sea while letting his bones.h.i.+p drift through this area. His s.h.i.+p drifted wherever the seawater flowed. This atmosphere was one of rumination; everyone had their own thoughts.

After a long time, they found that Li Qiye seemed to not want to leave. This journey of drifting left them quite puzzled since they didn’t know his intentions.
