Chapter 987: Surgery (1/2)

Sam went to visit the sect the next day at sunrise.

If he finishes this deal, he would have some free time before they could get their hands on the last member who is also a Peak stage Pre-transcendent stage cultivator of the Astral Plane. That one challenger.

He can finally reevaluate his recent changes both physically and mentally due to the cultivation and the losses he suffered.

Having that much pride is a borderline character flaw and trying to defend it by being angry at criticism that he gets is even more of a problem. He cannot let something as trivial as that to get in his way and hinder his progress both physically and mentally.

As he walked through the sect entrance, Jwala directly came to receive him and led him towards the volcano.

They climbed the volcano and stood at the mouth of it.

The scent that attracted Yanwu's bloodline got stronger and stronger as he moved upwards and when he finally reached the mouth, he was shocked by what he saw.

There is a giant bird in the middle of the lava pool as it absorbed the fire elemental energy constantly. But what surprised him is not the process. It is the bird itself. A phoenix.

He didn't wait a single second to let Yanwu out and when the majestic golden bird stood at the edge of the mouth of the volcano, the phoenix that turned into a ball at the bottom of the volcano started trembling and looked upwards.

*CAAAWWW*

Yanwu crowed from the top and just the sound itself made the whole sect population tremble.

The phoenix looked upwards and started crowing in reply.

Sam now understood what that exciting feeling of the bloodline was.

It is not exactly an excitement towards the prey or some food, it is an excitement that stemmed from the generations of rivalry that existed since the first of the golden sun crow and the phoenix crossed paths.

As the crowing between them increased as a challenge the two birds soon started communicating and Sam could understand what is happening felt extremely shocked.

”Did that Phoneix ask you to bring me here?” He asked Jwala as he observed the volcano.

Jwala was a bit surprised at this moment and asked.

”You can understand them?”

”Yeah, I sure do. And answer to my question?”

”Yes, Phoenix asked me to bring you here.”

”Seems like your little friend is in trouble and couldn't move from that spot. Is that the same trouble you have from moving your sect out of here?”

”Yes, at least part of it.”

”Well, then let us take it one step at a time.”

Sam and Yanwu exchanged a glance and both of them jumped inside the volcano.

The volcano is wide enough for them to house all of them anyway.

Yanwu started discussing something with the Phoenix and asked all the details of any problem that he has and Sam heard everything.

He opened his wings and hovered around the phoenix while he used the observation ability to check it.

He could have used the harbinger, but since he has these unwanted wings anyway, he might as well try to integrate them as part of his daily routine so that he would be more familiar with them.

So, he started checking the bird and after some time, Sam flew upwards and stood at the mouth of the volcano.

”From what I could see, there is something that was forcefully inserted inside the phoenix that has a large Ice elemental energy that could almost freeze the meridians of the bird.

The phoenix is using the heat from the volcano to suppress that thing from acting up. We need to remove that in order to let the Phoneix free.”

I explained the trouble to Jwala. She beamed in expectation and asked.
