Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 151

Nanzhao Bay.

In midair, a ball of flames floated, its temperature rising higher and higher as time passed.

If not for the layer of mist surrounding it, the nearby seawater might have evaporated entirely.

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

The warriors of the Misty Forbidden Zone were all cultivating.

At that moment, they vaguely heard a strange sound.

The sound was like the caw of a crow, yet different, with a faint undertone resembling a dragon’s roar.

“Jin Da?”

In the sea, the Sea Monk looked up.

Previously, the power of the Spirit Crows seemed ordinary to him, but today, the aura emanating from Jin Da made even him feel apprehensive.

“What a powerful energy fluctuation.”

The Earthquake Bear’s expression was filled with shock.

Around them, other warriors and creatures of the Misty Forbidden Zone also gazed at the ball of flames in the sky.

They had a strange feeling that the fireball resembled a blazing sun.

The fire in the sky began to distort and vibrate rapidly.

One by one, feathers unfolded from within the flames.

The sight of these feathers left the onlookers stunned.

Each feather seemed to be forged from black gold.

Upon closer inspection, they were covered in fine, ancient patterns.

After the feathers unfurled, three bird claws emerged.

Three bird claws?

The pupils of the surrounding creatures contracted.

Whether a common crow or a spirit crow, they should only have two claws.

Realizing something, many creatures began to breathe heavily.

Su Mu’s eyes also showed a hint of surprise.

It seemed that after Jin Da acquired the Source of Flames, some miraculous transformation had occurred.

“Kwaa!”

A crowing sound, loud enough to shake the heavens, resounded.

Even Su Mu’s Power of Mist could not completely isolate the sound.

At the same time, flames shot up to a height of ten thousand feet.

These flames were already subdued by the power of the mist. Otherwise, they would have been even more terrifying.

Whoosh!

Then, a three-foot-long three-legged bird appeared in the sight of all beings.

Undoubtedly, it was Jin Da.

When the Spirit Crows reached the third tier supreme grade, their body length was thirteen feet.

Now, Jin Da’s body length had not increased but had instead shrunk to three feet.

However, the aura it emitted was immensely terrifying. Its cultivation level had reached the fourth tier upper grade.

Moreover, it exuded a mysterious and ancient majesty.

Its eyes were golden.

Combined with the striking three legs, even the dullest creatures understood what had happened.

A mutation!

A reversion!

The creatures were in disbelief.

According to legend, all crows were said to carry the bloodline of the Golden Crow.

But everyone knew that this bloodline was practically nonexistent.

There were countless crows in the world.

The amount of Golden Crow bloodline within each crow was so minuscule it could be entirely ignored.

Yet somehow, Jin Da had miraculously undergone an atavistic transformation!

“This… This…”

“Jin Da has turned into a Three-legged Golden Crow?”

The Snow Spirit Mink, Roe Deer, Shadow Beetle, Huang Shuling, Lin Che, and other Misty warriors all appeared.

Even Bai Qianzhang, the Silver Moon Wolf King, and the Water Buffalo were alarmed.

They stared at Jin Da in the sky as if witnessing a myth come to life.

Jin Da’s status panel:

[Species: Three-legged Crow]

[Length: 3 feet]

[Lifespan: 11,000 years]

[Rank: Fourth Tier, Upper Grade]

[Abilities: Power of Gale, Eye of Clairvoyance, Arrow of Storm, Golden Crow Avatar, Flames of the Golden Crow, Transformation into the Great Sun]

This data made Su Mu realize that Jin Da had not completely transformed into a Three-legged Golden Crow.

It had become a Three-legged Crow, still some distance away from a true Three-legged Golden Crow.

Of course, in the eyes of other creatures, Jin Da was indeed a Three-legged Golden Crow.

The other Spirit Crows gathered around Jin Da.

Previously, although Jin Da was their elder brother, they did not particularly revere him since their strength was similar.

But now, it was different.

The majesty emanating from Jin Da made them feel profound respect.

They couldn’t help but feel a sense of reverence, like younger siblings towards an elder brother.

“Lord Divine Tree.”

After exchanging greetings with the other Spirit Crows, Jin Da immediately flew to Su Mu.

Its eyes were filled with affection and joy.

“Not bad.”

Su Mu praised.

Although he had given Jin Da the Source of Flames, he had not expected Jin Da to transform into a Three-legged Crow.

It was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Meanwhile, in the core area of the Taiwei Ocean…

Wutong Island.

This island spanned eight thousand miles.

Hot throughout the year, it was covered with parasol trees.

Due to the extreme heat, the island was sparsely populated.

Especially at the island’s center, where an active volcano erupted continuously, making it an uninhabitable zone.

But today…

“Chirp!”

A mysterious bird cry, powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth, echoed through the area.

Half of the realm could hear this cry.

Along with the cry, flames surged up to ninety thousand feet into the sky.

In the center of the flames was a magnificent, multicolored giant bird.

A terrifying pressure emanated from it, spreading like a tidal wave in all directions.

All creatures sensing this pressure trembled uncontrollably.

“What is that?”

The phenomenon was so astonishing that countless people witnessed the scene.

“A Phoenix! It’s a Phoenix!”

“Impossible! The Phoenix is a mythical creature. How could it truly appear?”

“But it is true; the myth has come to life.”

Shock!

Everyone who witnessed it was utterly shocked.

The birth of a Phoenix. This news quickly spread across the world like a storm.

The Great Xia Empire, the Haori Alliance, the Guo Holy Sect…

All the major factions in the world were in an uproar.

After all, it was the legendary Phoenix.

Some felt fear, sensing that the world was becoming increasingly unfamiliar.

Even the Phoenix had appeared.

Would humans continue to dominate this world in the future?

Though many people spoke of longing for the era of ancient myths, few truly wished to live in such times.

During the era of ancient myths, the human race was just one of many common races.

There were many races stronger than humans.

Some even considered humans to be food.

Humans were used to seeing other species as food and did not want to find themselves on another race’s menu someday.

However, where there was fear, there was also excitement.

“The Phoenix has just broken through.”

“A newly born Phoenix must still be in a weakened state.”

“This is the best time to capture or hunt it.”

Thinking of the potential rewards from killing a Phoenix, some ambitious individuals felt their blood boil.

After all, it was a mythical creature, every part of its body valuable.

Soon, countless forces and cultivators flocked toward Wutong Island.

Su Mu, from the Misty Forbidden Zone, also sensed the anomaly deep in the Taiwei Ocean.

“A Phoenix?”

Su Mu was quite surprised.

The aura emanating from the Phoenix was strong—not just of the fifth tier but an elite among the fifth tier.

“The depths of the ocean are indeed not to be underestimated.”

Su Mu mused.

It made sense.

In this world, the land covered only thirty percent of the surface, while the ocean accounted for the remaining seventy percent.

If there were so many powerful beings on land, the sea would undoubtedly harbor even more terrifying creatures.

“We still need to continue to build strength.”

The birth of the Phoenix did not disrupt Su Mu’s plans.

He continued to strengthen himself steadily.

At the same time…

The Great Xia Empire finally sensed something amiss.

The Dragon Bone Navy had been out of contact with the court for too long.

This gave them a sense of foreboding.
