至于原因为何，林轩当然清楚，在天州墨月族遗迹，得到了大鹏鸟真血，而后来更因为墨玉真灵诀，知道了该如何将其炼化。
As for the reason, Lin Xuan was naturally clear. In the ruins of the Ink Moon Clan's site in Heavenly Province, he obtained the true blood of the Great鹏Bird, and later, through understanding the True Spirit Technique of Profound Yin, he knew how to refine it.
shén miào de shuāng xiū gōng fǎ 。
神妙的双修功法。
A miraculous dual-cultivation technique.
yǔ yú yú zài nà yí jì fèi xū zhōng zhì liú le yī nián yǒu yú ， gù rán yīn wèi láng yǒu qíng ， qiè yǒu yì ， dàn zuì zhǔ yào de yuán yīn ， hái shì wèi le jiāng jīn chì dà péng niǎo de zhēn xuè liàn huà 。
与娱娱在那遗迹废墟中滞留了一年有余，固然因为郎有情，妾有意，但最主要的原因，还是为了将金翅大鹏鸟的真血炼化。
For more than a year, Lin Xuan and Yu Yu stayed in those ruins due to mutual affection. However, the main reason was to refine the true blood of the Golden-Winged Great鹏Bird.
ér yīn wèi shì tōng guò shuāng xiū de fāng fǎ ， jiāng cǐ líng xuè liàn huà hòu kě bù jǐn jǐn shì yú xí dé dào le hǎo chù ， lín xuān huò duō huò shǎo yě róng rù le yī xiē zhēn líng zhī xuè de 。
而因为是通过双修的方法，将此灵血炼化后可不仅仅是娱媳得到了好处，林轩或多或少也融入了一些真灵之血的。
And because this refinement was done through dual-cultivation, not only did Yu Yu benefit from it, but Lin Xuan also incorporated a bit of true spirit blood himself.
suī rán bù duō ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō shì fēi cháng de xī bó ， dàn dào dǐ hái shì bèi nà zhēn líng gěi gǎn shòu dào le 。
虽然不多，甚至可以说是非常的稀薄，但到底还是被那真灵给感受到了。
Although minimal and extremely thin, that true spirit blood had been sensed by the true spirit.
ér yě yīn wèi zhè ge yuán gù ， ràng tā duì lín xuān shǒu xià liú qíng ， ráo le qí yī mìng 。
而也因为这个缘故，让她对林轩手下留情，饶了其一命。
Because of this, she showed leniency towards Lin Xuan, sparing his life.
suī rán zài zhēn líng de yǎn lǐ ， lín xuān zhǐ shì lóu yǐ ， dàn xiàn zài ， zhè ge lóu yǐ ， yǔ zì jǐ de mǒu gè tóng lèi ， chě le yī xiē yuān yuán guān xì ， nà ráo tā yī mìng yě bù xī qí 。
虽然在真灵的眼里，林轩只是蝼蚁，但现在，这个蝼蚁，与自己的某个同类，扯了一些渊源关系，那饶他一命也不稀奇。
In the eyes of the true spirit, Lin Xuan was just an ant. But now, this ant had some connection to one of its kind, so sparing him a life wasn't unusual.
ér dào mù qián wéi zhǐ ， lín xuān dōu bù xiǎo de ， zì jǐ pèng de jiū jìng shì zhēn líng zhōng de nǎ yí gè ， bù guò zhè jiā huo shì niǎo lèi ， zhè yì diǎn què shì wú yí de 。
而到目前为止，林轩都不晓得，自己碰的究竟是真灵中的哪一个，不过这家伙是鸟类，这一点却是无疑的。
To date, Lin Xuan still didn’t know which true spirit he had encountered, but it was certain that the creature was a bird.
huò zhě zhū xǐ ， huáng niǎo shèn zhì shì bì fāng ？
或者朱喜，黄鸟甚至是必方？
Or Zhu Xi, Yellow Bird, or even Bixiang?
zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng ， nǎ yí gè dōu yǒu kě néng ， shuō qǐ lái zhè xiē niǎo lèi zhēn líng ， huò duō huò shǎo dōu yǒu yī xiē guān xì ， chán zá bù qīng ， suǒ yǐ rèn hé yí gè ， yīn wèi jīn chì dà péng niǎo de zhēn xuè ， jiāng zì jǐ fàng guò ， dōu shì dà yǒu kě néng de 。
仔细想想，哪一个都有可能，说起来这些鸟类真灵，或多或少都有一些关系，缠杂不清，所以任何一个，因为金翅大鹏鸟的真血，将自己放过，都是大有可能的。
Thinking about it, any one of them could be possible. These bird-like true spirits were somewhat related, their connections intertwined and unclear. Any one of them might have spared him because of the true blood of the Golden-Winged Great鹏Bird.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān xīn yǒu yú jì ， rú guǒ bú shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， zì jǐ xiàn zài yǐ jīng hún fēi pò sàn diào le 。
想到这里，林轩心有余悸，如果不是机缘巧合，自己现在已经魂飞魄散掉了。
This thought left Lin Xuan feeling relieved. If not for a fortunate chance, he would already be long gone.
xiǎng tōng le zhè yì diǎn hòu ， duì yú huǎn yú de xià luò ， lín xuān yě jiù bù dān xīn le 。
想通了这一点后，对于缓娱的下落，林轩也就不担心了。
With this understanding, Lin Xuan no longer worried about Yu Yu's whereabouts. After all, she had only been spared due to her incorporation of some of the true blood from the Golden-Winged Great鹏Bird, while he had merely integrated a small amount. What was there for Yu Yu to worry about? She was at most in the Separation Stage, but compared to the purity and thickness of true spirit blood, she far surpassed him.
bì jìng zì jǐ zhǐ bù guò yīn wèi róng rù le yì diǎn dà péng niǎo de zhēn xuè ， jiù bèi nà zhēn líng fàng guò ， nà huǎn yú hái yǒu shén me hǎo dān xīn de ， lùn shí lì ， tā bù guò lí hé qī ， dàn ruò shuō zhēn líng zhī xuè de chún hòu ， zé yuǎn fēi zì jǐ kě bǐ 。
毕竟自己只不过因为融入了一点大鹏鸟的真血，就被那真灵放过，那缓娱还有什么好担心的，论实力，她不过离合期，但若说真灵之血的纯厚，则远非自己可比。
Yu Yu was originally a descendant of the Great Peacock Dharmaraja, carrying some phoenix blood with her. The true blood from the Golden-Winged Great鹏Bird that he had obtained only brought minor benefits, while Yu Yu's incorporation was much greater.
yú yú běn lái jiù shì kǒng què dà míng wáng de hòu yì ， shēn hái dài yǒu yí dìng fèng huáng xuè mài dì ， zài mò yuè zú ， róng rù de dà péng zhēn xuè ， zì jǐ suī yě dé dào yì diǎn hǎo chù ， dàn què shì yǐ yú yú wéi zhǔ ， nà yā tou róng rù de dà péng zhēn xuè bǐ zì jǐ duō dé duō 。
娱娱本来就是孔雀大明王的后裔，身还带有一定凤凰血脉地，在墨月族，融入的大鹏真血，自己虽也得到一点好处，但却是以娱娱为主，那丫头融入的大鹏真血比自己多得多。
With this in mind, there was nothing to worry about. Perhaps the true spirit would treat Yu Yu as a relative!
zhè yàng xiǎng qǐ lái ， hái yǒu shén me hǎo dān xīn de 。
这样想起来，还有什么好担心的。
Thinking further, it wasn’t impossible.
nà zhēn líng huì duì zì jǐ bù shā ， shuō bù dìng huì jiāng yú yú dāng qīn qī a ！
那真灵会对自己不杀，说不定会将娱娱当亲戚啊！
Moreover, delving deeper, Lin Xuan even suspected that the true spirit’s appearance here might be due to Yu Yu.
zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng ， zhè zhēn bú shì bù kě néng de shì qíng 。
仔细想想，这真不是不可能的事情。
In the Eastern Sea, he had read some ancient texts, and while true spirits occasionally appeared in major spiritual realms, such sightings were rare. Generally, true spirits rarely revealed themselves; they usually resided in the realm of true spirits.
ér qiě zài wǎng shēn lǐ sī suǒ ， lín xuān shèn zhì huái yí ， zhè zhēn líng zhī suǒ yǐ huì xiàn shēn cǐ chù ， shì bú shì dōu shì yīn wèi yú yú de yuán gù 。
而且再往深里思索，林轩甚至怀疑，这真灵之所以会现身此处，是不是都是因为娱娱的缘故。
The realm of true spirits wasn’t considered part of the spiritual realm but also not quite the celestial realm. It was an intermediary between the two.
zài dōng hǎi de shí hòu ， tā yě kàn guò yī xiē diǎn jí ， suī rán zài líng jiè de yī xiē dà jiè miàn , ǒu ěr shì huì kàn jiàn zhēn líng de zōng jì ， dàn nà dōu shì fèng máo lín jiǎo dì 。
在东海的时候，他也看过一些典籍，虽然在灵界的一些大界面,偶尔是会看见真灵的踪迹，但那都是凤毛麟角地。
Speaking of groups, each realm of true spirits housed only one true spirit.
yì bān lái shuō ， zhēn líng shì bú huì qīng yì xiàn shēn dì ， jù shuō tā men píng shí dōu jū zhù zài zhēn líng zhī jìng lǐ 。
一般来说，真灵是不会轻易现身地，据说他们平时都居住在真灵之境里。
For example, the Phoenix Realm was home to the phoenix.
suǒ wèi zhēn líng zhī jìng ， nà yǐ jīng bù suàn shì líng jiè le ， dàn yě bù néng shuō shì xiān jiè ， ér shì jiè yú líng jiè yǔ xiān jiè zhī jiān de yī yàng jiè miàn 。
所谓真灵之境，那已经不算是灵界了，但也不能说是仙界，而是介于灵界与仙界之间的一样界面。
The玄武Realm, the玄武.
zhī suǒ yǐ shuō qún ， shì yīn wèi měi yí gè zhēn líng zhī jìng ， dōu zhǐ huì jū zhù yí gè zhēn líng 。
之所以说群，是因为每一个真灵之境，都只会居住一个真灵。
And humans, even those who had transcended their fates, couldn’t enter these realms.
bǐ rú shuō fèng huáng jìng ， nà jū zhù de jiù shì fèng huáng 。
比如说凤凰境，那居住的就是凤凰。
Of course, this wasn’t always the case. For instance, the mightiest of the true spirits, Jiuying, originally resided in its own realm.
xuán wǔ jìng ， jū zhù de zé shì xuán wǔ 。
玄武境，居住的则是玄武。
However, in a distant ancient moment, a snow-white maiden arrived here.
ér rén lèi ， nǎ pà shì dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， yě bù néng tà rù zhēn líng zhī jìng lǐ 。
而人类，哪怕是渡劫期修仙者，也不能踏入真灵之境里。
Someone dared to intrude into her territory, and Jiuying was enraged. She immediately unleashed her powers, aiming at that person, intending to send them to the underworld.
dāng rán ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng , yě bú shì yī chéng bù biàn de ， bǐ rú ， chuán shuō zhōng ， zuì qiáng dà de zhēn líng zhī yī ， jiǔ yīng ， yuán běn jū zhù zài jiǔ yīng zhī jìng lǐ 。
当然，这种情况,也不是一成不变的，比如，传说中，最强大的真灵之一，九婴，原本居住在九婴之境里。
But this time, Jiuying made a mistake; the one who had trespassed was none other than the Lord of the Underworld.
rán ér zài jí yuǎn gǔ de mǒu yī kè ， yī wèi bái yī shèng xuě de shào nǚ què lái dào zhè lǐ le 。
然而在极远古的某一刻，一位白衣胜雪的少女却来到这里了。
Asura!
yǒu rén jū rán gǎn chuǎng rù zì jǐ de lǐng dì ， jiǔ yīng fèn nù yǐ jí ， xī lì kè shī zhǎn shén tōng ， xiàng nà rén dǎ qù , xī yào jiāng lái rén sòng dào yīn cáo dì fǔ lǐ 。
有人居然敢闯入自己的领地，九婴愤怒以极，牺立刻施展神通，像那人打去,牺要将来人送到阴曹地府里。
The strength of Asura King didn’t need mentioning—she was on par with true immortals. After fierce combat, Jiuying ultimately submitted to her.
rán ér zhè yī cì ， jiǔ yīng cuò le ， yīn wèi chuǎng rù pāo lǐng dì de ， jiù shì yīn sī zhī zhǔ 。
然而这一次，九婴错了，因为闯入抛领地的，就是阴司之主。
A master-servant blood pact was signed, and the Jiuying among the true spirits became a pet for Asura King.
ā xiū luó ！
阿修罗！
Similar events played out in other realms of true spirits.
ā xiū luó wáng de shí lì bú yòng shuō ， nà kě shì kān bǐ zhēn xiān de rén wù ， yī fān dà zhàn yǐ hòu ， jiǔ yīng zuì hòu hái shì zài tā de sù shǒu xià pú fú 。
阿修罗王的实力不用说，那可是堪比真仙的人物，一番大战以后，九婴最后还是在她的素手下匍匐。
The Nether Dragon fell at the hands of an ancient demon lord.
qiān dìng zhǔ pú xuè qì ， zhēn líng zhōng de jiǔ yīng ， chéng wéi le ā xiū luó wáng de chǒng wù 。
签订主仆血契，真灵中的九婴，成为了阿修罗王的宠物。
Chaos was subdued by Ice Soul Demon Ancestor.
tóng yàng de shì qíng ， zài qí tā zhēn líng jìng yǎn zhe 。
同样的事情，在其他真灵境演着。
Many such stories existed. Powerful beings from the spiritual realm, demonic realm, and underworld all liked to domesticate true spirits as pets.
niè lóng ， tóng yàng shì zhé yì zài le xī rì mó zú dà tǒng lǐng de shǒu zhōng 。
孽龙，同样是折翼在了昔日魔族大统领的手中。
Of course, not everyone had a smooth journey. Although they dared to do so, they were all old-timers at the Separation Stage or beyond. But what did it matter? The strength of true spirits was no less than theirs, and with the added effects in their realms, most ended up losing instead of gaining.
hùn dùn ， bèi bīng pò mó zǔ suǒ xiáng fú 。
混沌，被冰魄魔祖所降伏。
Over time, fewer people attempted to subdue true spirits unless they had solid assurance. Who would risk their lives for such a joke?
zhè yàng de shì qíng hái yǒu xǔ duō ， líng jiè 、 mó jiè 、 yīn sī jiè de dà néng cún zài dōu xǐ huān xiáng fú zhēn líng zuò chǒng wù 。
这样的事情还有许多，灵界、魔界、阴司界的大能存在都喜欢降伏真灵做宠物。
The true spirit would spare him because of the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Great鹏Bird, Lin Xuan was certain.
dāng rán ， yě bú shì rén rén dōu yī fān fēng shùn de ， suī rán gǎn zhè yàng zuò ， kěn dìng dū shì dù jié qī yǐ de lǎo jiā huǒ ， dàn nà yòu rú hé ， zhēn líng de shí lì tóng yàng bù bǐ tā men ruò ， ér zài zhēn líng zhī jìng lǐ , hái yǒu jiā chéng de xiào guǒ ， suǒ yǐ dà bù fèn rén ， fǎn ér shì tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ， yǔn luò zài le zhēn líng de shǒu lǐ 。
当然，也不是人人都一番风顺的，虽然敢这样做，肯定都是渡劫期以的老家伙，但那又如何，真灵的实力同样不比他们弱，而在真灵之境里,还有加成的效果，所以大部分人，反而是偷鸡不成蚀把米，陨落在了真灵的手里。
And his guess was correct.
suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， wàng tú xiáng fú zhēn líng de rén yǐ shì bù duō ， chú fēi shì yǒu shí zú de bǎ wò ， fǒu zé , shuí huì ná zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng ér ， qù kāi zhè zhǒng wán xiào ne ？
随着时间的推移，妄图降伏真灵的人已是不多，除非是有十足的把握，否则,谁会拿自己的小命儿，去开这种玩笑呢？
At this moment,
nà zhēn líng huì yīn wèi jīn chì dà péng niǎo de xuè mài fàng guò zì jǐ ， nà yú yú yí dìng bú huì yǒu shì ， zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān què xìn wú yí 。
那真灵会因为金翅大鹏鸟的血脉放过自己，那娱娱一定不会有事，这一点，林轩确信无疑。
This was a special plane located between the spiritual realm and the celestial realm.
ér tā de cāi cè ， shì méi cuò dì 。
而他的猜测，是没错地。
Since ancient times, true spirits had resided here, living carefree lives. Of course, occasionally they would venture into the Three Realms when bored.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí 。
与此同时。
In the eyes of true spirits, beings in the Three Realms, except for a few great existences, were like ants.
zhè lǐ shì yī piàn tè shū de wèi miàn ， wèi yú líng jiè yǔ xiān jiè zhī jiān 。
这里是一片特殊的位面，位于灵界与仙界之间。
The nature of true spirits varied widely.
zì gǔ yǐ lái ， zhēn líng jiù jū zhù zài cǐ chù ， guò zhe wú yōu wú lǜ de shēng huó 。
自古以来，真灵就居住在此处，过着无忧无虑的生活。
Some were gentle, while others were destructive, leading to various legends.
dāng rán ， ǒu ěr tā men qióng jí wú liáo le ， yě shì huì pǎo dào sān jiè qù de 。
当然，偶尔他们穷极无聊了，也是会跑到三界去的。
What four spirits, what four evils—these tales differed greatly. But one thing remained unchanged: people feared and admired true spirits due to their immense power.
zài zhēn líng de yǎn zhōng ， sān jiè shēng líng ， chú le nà jí shǎo shù dà néng cún zài ， dōu yǔ lóu yǐ chà bu duō 。
在真灵的眼中，三界生灵，除了那极少数大能存在，都与蝼蚁差不多。
Even the least powerful true spirit, the True Moon Toad, could stir up chaos in the spiritual realm. Most Separation Stage cultivators would fare poorly against it.
ér zhēn líng de pí xìng yě gè bù xiāng tóng 。
而真灵的脾性也各不相同。
People couldn’t help but fear them. Fortunately, true spirits rarely appeared in the Three Realms; most of the time, they stayed in their own territories.
yǒu jiào wéi wēn hé de ， yě yǒu pò huài chéng xìng de jiā huo ， yú shì biàn yǒu le gè zhǒng gè yàng de chuán shuō 。
有较为温和的，也有破坏成性的家伙，于是便有了各种各样的传说。
No one had made an accurate estimate of how many types of true spirits there were.
shén me sì líng ， shén me sì xiōng ， zhǒng zhǒng shuō fǎ nà shì gè bù xiāng tóng 。
什么四灵，什么四凶，种种说法那是各不相同。
The strength between different true spirits varied greatly.
dàn yǒu yì diǎn shì bù biàn de ， duì yú zhēn líng ， rén men dōu chōng mǎn le wèi jù yǔ yǎng mù ， zhè zhǒng shén mì de shēng wù shí zài shì tài qiáng dà le 。
但有一点是不变的，对于真灵，人们都充满了畏惧与仰慕，这种神秘的生物实在是太强大了。
Which was the strongest remained a mystery.
jiù suàn shì zhēn líng zhōng pái míng dào shǔ de jīn yuè zhēn chán ， yě zú yǐ zài líng jiè xiān qǐ xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， yì bān de dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě duì le ， nà yě shì bài duō shèng shǎo de jié jú 。
就算是真灵中排名倒数的金月真蟾，也足以在灵界掀起腥风血雨，一般的渡劫期修仙者对了，那也是败多胜少的结局。
Phoenix, True Dragon?
rén men yān néng bù wèi jù ， hǎo zài zhēn líng chū xiàn zài sān jiè de qíng xíng bìng bù duō ， dà bù fèn shí jiān ， xī men dōu dài zài zì jǐ de lǐng dì 。
人们焉能不畏惧，好在真灵出现在三界的情形并不多，大部分时间，牺们都待在自己的领地。
Not necessarily!
zhēn líng yǒu duō shǎo zhǒng ， méi yǒu rén zuò guò què qiè de gū jì 。
真灵有多少种，没有人做过确切的估计。
Jiuying and Nether Dragon couldn’t be said to dominate all true spirits either.
ér bù tóng de zhēn líng jiān ， nà shí lì kěn dìng yě shì qiān chā wàn bié dì 。
而不同的真灵间，那实力肯定也是千差万别地。
But clearly, these four creatures were among the top in the realm of true spirits!
jiū jìng nǎ yī zhǒng zhēn líng shì zuì qiáng de ， shuí yě bù xiǎo de 。
究竟哪一种真灵是最强的，谁也不晓得。
In more distant times, there even existed a true spirit stronger than them.
fèng huáng ， zhēn lóng ？
凤凰，真龙？
Great Peacock Dharmaraja!
wèi bì ！
未必！
The progenitor of bird-like true spirits; phoenixes and Golden-Winged Great鹏Birds originated from her.
jiǔ yīng ， niè lóng ， yě bù gǎn shuō jiù yí dìng néng gòu héng sǎo zhēn líng wú dí 。
九婴，孽龙，也不敢说就一定能够横扫真灵无敌。
Of course, it wasn’t that the Great Peacock Dharmaraja was necessarily stronger than today's Phoenix. Such comparisons were meaningless.
bù guò xiǎn rán ， zhè sì zhǒng shēng wù ， zài zhēn líng zhōng dū shì zuì dǐng jiān de ！
不过显然，这四种生物，在真灵中都是最顶尖的！
Blue surpassing green was not uncommon, considering each generation of true spirits was different.
ér zài gèng wéi jiǔ yuǎn de shí kè ， hái yǒu yī zhǒng zhēn líng shèn zhì bǐ tā men dōu gèng qiáng dà yī xiē 。
而在更为久远的时刻，还有一种真灵甚至比他们都更强大一些。
But the Great Peacock Dharmaraja was one of the mightiest true spirits, a fact no one would doubt.
kǒng què dà míng wáng ！
孔雀大明王！
Unfortunately, the progenitor of bird-like true spirits had long since gone extinct in ancient times.
niǎo lèi zhēn líng de shǐ zǔ ， fèng huáng yǔ jīn chì dà péng niǎo jiù shì yóu xī yùn yù ér chū 。
鸟类真灵的始祖，凤凰与金翅大鹏鸟就是由牺孕育而出。
: The double reward period has ended. Thank you for everyone's support. However, the path to monthly awards is still far ahead. Please continue supporting me.
dāng rán ， bìng bú shì shuō kǒng què dà míng wáng jiù yí dìng bǐ rú jīn de bǎi niǎo zhī wáng fèng huáng gèng qiáng dà le ， nà zhǒng dōng xī méi fǎ bǐ 。
当然，并不是说孔雀大明王就一定比如今的百鸟之王凤凰更强大了，那种东西没法比。
Recently, Huan Yu felt physically and mentally exhausted but was grateful for everyone’s support, feeling very warm. Thanks. To be continued.
As for the reason, Lin Xuan was naturally clear. In the ruins of the Ink Moon Clan's site in Heavenly Province, he obtained the true blood of the Great鹏Bird, and later, through understanding the True Spirit Technique of Profound Yin, he knew how to refine it.
A miraculous dual-cultivation technique.
For more than a year, Lin Xuan and Yu Yu stayed in those ruins due to mutual affection. However, the main reason was to refine the true blood of the Golden-Winged Great鹏Bird.
And because this refinement was done through dual-cultivation, not only did Yu Yu benefit from it, but Lin Xuan also incorporated a bit of true spirit blood himself.
Although minimal and extremely thin, that true spirit blood had been sensed by the true spirit.

What four spirits, what four evils—these tales differed greatly. But one thing remained unchanged: people feared and admired true spirits due to their immense power.
Even the least powerful true spirit, the True Moon Toad, could stir up chaos in the spiritual realm. Most Separation Stage cultivators would fare poorly against it.
People couldn’t help but fear them. Fortunately, true spirits rarely appeared in the Three Realms; most of the time, they stayed in their own territories.
No one had made an accurate estimate of how many types of true spirits there were.
The strength between different true spirits varied greatly.
Which was the strongest remained a mystery.
Phoenix, True Dragon?
Not necessarily!
Jiuying and Nether Dragon couldn’t be said to dominate all true spirits either.
But clearly, these four creatures were among the top in the realm of true spirits!
In more distant times, there even existed a true spirit stronger than them.
Great Peacock Dharmaraja!
The progenitor of bird-like true spirits; phoenixes and Golden-Winged Great鹏Birds originated from her.
Of course, it wasn’t that the Great Peacock Dharmaraja was necessarily stronger than today's Phoenix. Such comparisons were meaningless.
Blue surpassing green was not uncommon, considering each generation of true spirits was different.
But the Great Peacock Dharmaraja was one of the mightiest true spirits, a fact no one would doubt.
Unfortunately, the progenitor of bird-like true spirits had long since gone extinct in ancient times.
