Capítulo 14: Ultimate Bullshit
"The hint about needing ambition to pass the third stage was a misdirection. The phoenix, a righteous creature, left these trials as a gift to the Profound Sky Continent, not for the evil or heartless. The third trial uses the practitioner's happiest memories. Before the trial, I hinted that only a strong desire for power would help one pass. Those illusions came from your memories. Even if dedicated, hurting loved ones for strength shows a lack of affection. Such strength would be for personal gain, against the Phoenix's intent." The phoenix spirit said.
"Then, can I get the power of the Phoenix now?" Yun Wuji asked.
"Of course," the phoenix spirit affirmed. "You will receive three gifts: Phoenix blood, Divine Phoenix Pills, and the chance to study the [World Ode of the Phoenix - Fragment]."
"But before that, could you let me see your memories?" the phoenix spirit asked. Although it saw fragments of his memories during the third trial, it still didn't understand the reason for Wuji's strength.
"Memories? Why would you want to see them?" Yun Wuji paused before asking. He had so many secrets and embarrassing memories. No one would easily agree to such a request.
"You have so many secrets that I'm curious about. Don't worry, I'm just a spirit confined to this place. I won't share them with anyone," the phoenix spirit added. "If there's something you don't want me to see, as long as you will it, I won't be able to access it."
"Very well, you can," Yun Wuji pondered for a while before agreeing.
The phoenix spirit's golden eyes flashed, and Wuji felt something invading his mind. The phoenix watched memories from when he first gained consciousness. It was shocked—being conscious from his mother's womb was one thing, but being conscious from when he was still in his father's balls was something unheard of, even as a metaphor.
'What the fuck?!' As the phoenix spirit continued to watch his memories its golden eyes widened from shock. The pure divine phoenix, who had never uttered a profanity in its entire life, let out a curse. 'This kid is outrageous. How can someone like him exist?'
'Profound veins with 78 entrances? This has never existed before and should never exist. It violates the laws of the universe.'
It's like seeing negative mass, blazing water, an illuminating darkness, or a pregnant man.
This doesn't make any sense at all!
'Impossible! How can this be possible?' However, soon it witnessed something even more shocking!
To think that the fate of the primal chaos is like this!
"Young human, in my long life, I have never been so shocked," the phoenix spirit said solemnly after witnessing his memories.
"That's to be expected. If I were someone else and saw my memories, I would have doubted the meaning of life," Yun Wuji nodded.
"Your existence defies the laws of this universe, and you possess inconceivable talent along with a Heavenly Treasure. Yet, you also bear a heavy responsibility," the phoenix spirit said, its eyes narrowing.
"..." Yun Wuji keep silent.
"I originally planned to bestow upon you a single drop of Phoenix blood, but after seeing your memories, I've changed my mind. I will give you everything I have. Hopefully, this will aid you in your future missions. This gift will grant you the ability to withstand fire like the phoenix, and master fire-attribute profound arts with extraordinary speed—yielding twice the results in half the time. Your fire-based skills will be more potent than ever, especially the Phoenix Fire Skill," reverberated the voice of the Phoenix spirit in his mind.
The phoenix spirit's golden eyes flashed, momentarily turning the dark world golden. Suddenly, a spot of golden light emerged from the illusionary space. It shot directly between Yun Wuji's eyebrows and then sank in.
Nine small drops of the Phoenix's blood entered his veins, igniting like clusters of frenzied flames spreading through his bloodstream. His blood began to burn as well. Yun Wuji willed his profound energy to suppress the Phoenix blood, gradually integrating it into his blood. Over time, his bloodstream grew warmer as the nine drops of Phoenix blood shrank in size, eventually disappearing into Yun Wuji's veins.
"As expected, you've successfully fused with the nine drops of Phoenix blood in such a short time. Now, I'll give you this Divine Phoenix Pill and the fragment of the [World Ode of the Phoenix]," the phoenix spirit declared.
The golden eyes flashed again, and two spots of light descended from the skies. What fell in front of Yun Wuji was a white-colored jade bottle and a fragment of white jade.
"Inside the white-colored jade bottle is precisely the Divine Phoenix Pill. It can significantly enhance your control over fire energy, although it won't affect your profound strength much, which is already high," explained the phoenix spirit.
"The fragment of the [World Ode of the Phoenix] is inscribed on this jade stone. Together with the [Vermillion Bird's Consoling Spirit Song] and the [Golden Crow's Record of the Burning World], they are known as the Three Great World Scorching Heavenly Books, each possessing immense power capable of burning the heavens. The Phoenix left behind the first six stages of the [World Ode of the Phoenix] that year. However, the [World Ode of the Phoenix] is incomplete..."
The phoenix spirit explained what happened a long time ago. The Spirit in the Divine Phoenix Empire betrayed the will of the Phoenix and tried to destroy this Phoenix and this trial ground, wanting to have the entire continent to itself, and during the fight, the jade recording the [World Ode of the Phoenix] was damaged.
"So you're saying, the first four stages of the [World Ode of the Phoenix] are located at the Divine Phoenix Empire's trial grounds?" Yun Wuji asked.
"No! The first four stages of the [World Ode of the Phoenix] are not at the Divine Phoenix Empire's trial grounds; they're held by the Divine Phoenix Sect. The phoenix spirit there altered the trial ground rules, making it exclusive to the sect's disciples."
"So that's how it is," Yun Wuji said without much pity. His goal was the phoenix bloodline, not the [World Ode of the Phoenix]. If he needed it, he could always visit the Divine Phoenix Empire and 'borrow' it.
"I have one last thing to tell you. If you go to the Divine Phoenix Empire in the future, they may attempt to attack you. However, with your strength, you won't be in danger as long as you're not careless."
"I don't seek trouble, but if they're blind enough, I don't mind crushing them," Wuji laughed disdainfully.
He sat on the floor and took the Divine Phoenix Pellet out of the jade bottle. The Divine Phoenix Pellet's entire color was as red as blood and scorching hot. He directly swallowed the pill.
Suddenly, crimson flames engulfed Yun Wuji, rising over three meters high and wrapping around his entire body, he became hot like fire was burning inside his body.
After a while, he opened his eyes, and the process of refining the pill didn't last longer than 20 minutes. He examined his body and felt that his control over fire had indeed increased and his affinity as well.
While still seated, Yun Wuji picked up the jade inscribed with the [World Ode of the Phoenix].
Born with special profound veins that granted him great strength, he could fight opponents with much higher cultivation. But that wasn't all—his veins bestowed upon him an astonishing talent for comprehension, and most importantly, they transcended all restrictions and rules.
Meaning, that he can cultivate even something as profound as the law of nothingness, which only someone with a sacred body can.
That's why he named his veins the Unfettered Veins.
He only needed 15 minutes to comprehend the fifth and sixth stages of the [World Ode of the Phoenix].
The phoenix's spirit watched everything silently, it wasn't surprised because it already saw what he was capable of doing.
"Phoenix spirit, thank you for your help," Yun Wuji said as he stood up. "I'll be taking my leave now."
"Very well, young human. You are shouldering the fate of the whole universe. I hope I can live to witness your victorious return," the phoenix said, its golden eyes flashing as Yun Wuji was sent away from the trial.
Capítulo 15: Pineapple pizza
"The return of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor is already a terrible catastrophe. To think there is an even more catastrophic calamity lurking in the abyss," the phoenix sighed before its golden eyes vanished.
After exiting the trial, Yun Wuji reappeared before Chu Yuechan and Feng Baichuan.
"You're back quickly," Yuechan said, walking over and grabbing his hand. Feng Baichuan hadn't explained the trial to her, so she knew little about it.
Her cold nature made it hard for her to take the initiative to ask a man about something.
"Lord, although you have failed, many people have failed before you. It's no big deal," Feng Baichuan tried to console him. He assumed Yun Wuji had failed because the records left by their ancestors indicated that completing the trial would take at least a month.
Only a few hours had passed since Yun Wuji left for the trial, leading Feng Baichuan to conclude that he had failed.
"You failed?" Yuechan asked in surprise. Yun Wuji is so strong—how could he possibly fail?
"Of course not, I passed the trial," Yun Wuji said, patting her soft hand that was gripping him tightly.
He then looked at Feng Baichuan and said, "Gather your clansmen. I will remove the curse."
"Wh... what?" Feng staggered a few steps back. "You passed the trial? How is this possible? It's only been a few hours!"
Yun Wuji didn't bother to answer. He pointed a finger, and crimson fire shot from the mark on his forehead.
The mark started to burn, and soon the red mark turned golden.
Feng Baichuan stood in place, dazed. The shock was too much for him, and he didn't react for a while.
"Lord, thank you! You are the benefactor of our clan!" He exclaimed, quickly falling to his knees with tears in his eyes.
The curse that hunted them for generations and rendered their once powerful clan to a tiny clan trapped in a tiny village is finally gone!
"Get up. I am only fulfilling my part of the deal," Yun Wuji helped him to his feet and said, "Go gather your clansmen. I won't be staying here for long."
"R-right away, my lord!" Feng Baichuan quickly left to gather them.
"Wuji, can you cook the pineapple pizza that you mentioned earlier?" Yuechan asked as they left the trial ground.
"Pineapple pizza? Ah!" Wuji was about to answer when suddenly, a flood of memories poured into his mind as if a seal that had been locking away his memories had been opened. A lifetime's worth of memories!
Memories from his past life flooded back.
Earth, internet, Mia Khalifa, Yamete Kudasai ahh~, English or Spanish...
"Wuji, are you alright?!" Yuechan looked back at him, concerned.
"Yeah, I just remembered something. Forget about pineapple pizza; I'll cook something better for you," he said, patting her head.
"Really?" she squinted her eyes, enjoying his touch.
'All according to keikaku!'
Before entering the trial, he sealed his memories, and the only way to unseal them was with a keyword. That keyword is "pineapple pizza!"
He had deliberately mentioned pineapple pizza to Yuechan yesterday, knowing she would pester him to make it for her later.
The memories that Wuji showed to the phoenix's spirit were mostly true, with a few exceptions. He didn't reveal his memories from his previous life, and he also made some modifications to certain details.
He inserted the memory of having a special ability that allows him to see future events.
He showed the phoenix that he had seen the future, where the primal chaos was destroyed by the abyss of nothingness, which was not a lie.
The Phoenix probably thought that he was the fated world's savior and gave him everything it had.
Due to the shock of his talent and accurate information about the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, which surpassed even the Phoenix's understanding, the Phoenix didn't doubt him.
Mixing truth and lies made it easy for him to convince the Phoenix.
If he hadn't used this trick, even with his talent, the Phoenix probably would not have given him the favorable treatment it did. The Phoenix values the character of the person, not just strength. Unlike Yun Che, who inherited the heretic god, he needed a different approach to gain the Phoenix's favor.
Yun Wuji and Little Fairy walked to the central square of the village. All the clansmen had gathered under Feng Baichuan's order. There were around 200 people gathered.
"Lord, everyone in the village is here," Feng Baichuan walked up to him and said.
"Good, I'll start right now." Yun Wuji nodded, then waved his hand, igniting a fire on the foreheads of the gathered clansmen.
A few seconds later, the cursed phoenix mark was removed and replaced with a golden phoenix mark.
"Ah! The curse is really removed!"
"A miracle! This is a miracle!"
"He must be the Divine Phoenix's messenger!"
"The Phoenix has forgiven us after so many years!"
"Thank you, lord! Thank you!" Everyone knelt on the ground, including Feng Baichuan, expressing their sincere gratitude.
"Please get up," Yun Wuji said, and as he spoke, a gust of wind quickly moved, pushing everyone to their feet.
"Now that I've done my part, I'll take my leave. Farewell." Yun Wuji placed his hand on Yuechan's shoulder, and they both teleported away before the Phoenix clan could react.
"They disappeared!"
"The messenger left!"
"What kind of existence is he?" Feng Baichuan stood silently, gazing at where Yun Wuji had been. There were so many mysteries surrounding him, like a fog. But One thing was certain, Yun Wuji would take the continent by storm in the future.

"Where are we?" Yuechan asked as they appeared.
"Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range," Yun Wuji answered. His arrival to this world might have changed some things, potentially causing a butterfly effect. To avoid problems, he decided to secure the fire seed first.
"Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range? Is there a scarlet dragon living here?" She looked around before asking.
"Yes, the mountain range was named after the scarlet dragon. Pretty obvious," he replied before taking off, flying around.
"Are we here to kill it? But we still have dragon meat," she asked. "By the way, when will you make the dish named pizza?"
"Soon, I'll make you pizza and burger," he chuckled. She's becoming more addicted to food. Maybe she won't want to leave after regaining her memories, just for the sake of the food.
"Roaar! Who dare t..." As they reached the central Scarlet Dragon Prohibited Region, a dragon roar echoed, followed by a scarlet dragon emerging from its cave.
However, before the dragon could finish its words, a sword light flashed, and in a split second, the clueless dragon was diced into pieces without ever seeing its enemy.
"Noisy."
They both landed in front of the dragon's body.
"This dragon was strong, probably at the peak of the Sky Profound Realm!" Yuechan exclaimed, sensing the dragon's aura when it first appeared.
"No, it was at the Emperor Profound Realm. This dragon is cunning; it was hiding its true strength," Yun Wuji shook his head as he explained.
He stored the dragon's body inside the Sky Poison Pearl before proceeding into the cave. Inside, he quickly located the fire seed, surrounded by numerous Fire Spirit Grass.
"So this is the fire seed," he marveled, holding up the bright red fire seed. It felt warm to the touch, glowing softly in his hand with a subtle energy.
"So, your goal is this?" Yuechan noticed him disregarding the Fire Spirit Grass and focusing on a small sphere. Intrigued, she couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
"This is the fire seed, part of the heretic god's inheritance!" Wuji tossed the fire seed to her as he explained.
"Heretic god?" She examined the fire seed, sensing a very pure fire energy inside. The name was unfamiliar; even if she had regained her memory, she wouldn't have recognized it.
"The heretic god was one of the four strongest gods, a god of creation. Within the Primal Chaos, he wielded unparalleled power over the elements—Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth, Wind, and Darkness—perfectly controlling, resisting, and absorbing their elemental energies."
"So powerful! He is even more powerful than the phoenix, right?" Hearing his explanation, she couldn't help but regard the fire seed more seriously.
"Of course, the phoenix is nothing compared to him." Wuji nodded thoughtfully, expressing his admiration. Despite possibly making a mistake that inadvertently led to the demise of all gods and devils. Ni Xuan's dedication to primal chaos remains admirable.
"You just received the phoenix inheritance, this fire seed will help you grasp the laws of fire more quickly!" Yuechan returned the fire seed to him. Since she cultivates Ice, the fire seed isn't of much value to her.
She was smart enough not to ask him about the locations of so many inheritances, knowing he would likely refuse to answer as he always did.
"More importantly, can you make pizza now?" she asked.
