第两千零九十章 孔雀的选择

"It's difficult because not everyone can integrate True Spirit Fire. First, one must have the corresponding bloodline of the True Spirit, and it should be as pure as possible. Even so, there is no guarantee that integration will succeed." However, from a probability standpoint, the chances are greater.

"Once integrated, with the experience from the previous generation and the seed already sprouted, as long as you diligently practice, one day you'll become a True Spirit."

"So, does each generation of True Spirits have different strengths?" YuanYuan's face showed some surprise upon hearing this.

"That's correct. Humans say that 'a teacher leads you into the door, but cultivation depends on yourself.' Although the seed has sprouted, there are still differences in innate talent, opportunities, and effort among individuals from different generations. Even if they all become True Spirits, their achievements will vary."

"Why bring me here then? You just said that integrating True Spirit Fire requires a pure Peacock bloodline, but I'm not entirely pure," the voice of the Peacock entered her ears. Having heard so much, YuanYuan would be considered unintelligent if she still didn't understand the purpose.

Of course, this was impossible.

"Indeed, besides the Peacock Great Brightness's bloodline, my phoenix lineage and Golden-Winged Great Peng's spirit blood are also present, though in lesser amounts."

The Phoenix's gaze swept over YuanYuan, clearly explaining her situation. True Spirit phoenixes can see through all illusions with their eyes.

Anything hidden would be revealed to him.

"Why bring me here if you know this?" "Haha, I did say that integrating True Spirit Fire has no set rules, but the more pure and concentrated the bloodline is, the greater the chances of success. However, it's not necessarily true for Peacock Great Brightness."

"Oh, how so?" A strange expression appeared on YuanYuan's face.

"Peacock Great Brightness was one of the oldest spirit birds. After falling in the Three Realms War, no new Great Brightnesses have been born since then."

"Fell in the Three Realms War?"

"The Asura King massacred the Spirit Realm back then and even involved True Immortals." However, these details are not important. If you can integrate the True Spirit Fire, this knowledge will be included in your experience."

"Over millions of years," countless Peacock descendants have tried to integrate. Many had good innate talents and lineage, but they all failed. For so many years, if it weren't for successive phoenixes guarding here, this Peacock realm would likely have been taken over by other True Spirits."

"Ah, I see. Compared to those failures, my bloodline might be even less pure," YuanYuan wondered.

"Why...?"

"Do you think I'm just desperate and trying random methods? My choice has reasons."

The sound of the Phoenix's voice like a jade drop on a plate entered her ears: "Because there are too many failures. I've also reflected on this. Logically, several bloodlines should be sufficient. But,"

"But what?"

"Perhaps Peacock Great Brightness is different from other True Spirits. I know we phoenixes and Golden-Winged Great Pengs were all nurtured by the first Great Brightness. This further proves that there was both Phoenix and Great Peng spirit blood in his body."

"So you chose me?"

"That's right. A person with three types of spirit blood is harder to find than pure ones. Over these years, I searched through the Spirit Realm but found no suitable candidates. It was a stroke of luck that brought you here."

"Ah, I see."

YuanYuan finally understood: "You want me to integrate with True Spirit Fire. But what if I don't want to?"

"Why not? What's your reason for refusing?"

The Phoenix's voice held surprise: "I've already told you the benefits of integrating with True Spirit Fire. If successful, you'll become a new Peacock Great Brightness in time. You know how powerful True Spirits are. Following normal methods, from Separation and Union to Profound Void, through entering the State of Divided Consciousness, and finally into the Tribulation Period—how many hardships will you face? Do you think you have a chance?"

Peacock fell silent. Although she believed in her own talents, there were countless geniuses among ordinary people. Peacock didn't dare to underestimate Tian Ping Hero.

But how many had entered the Tribulation Period?

And even if they did enter it, could they match up against Peacock Great Brightness?

Of course not.

Not just the Tribulation, but even facing the Three Loose Immortals, True Demon Ancestor, or Yin Palace Six Kings (though Asura King was excluded), would likely result in defeat for Peacock Great Brightness.

Even among True Spirits, she ranked high.

"Although becoming a True Spirit means losing the chance to become an immortal, powerful True Spirits aren't much weaker than True Immortals. Moreover, their lifespans are no longer limited by heavenly tribulations; they can live forever."

The Phoenix's voice was filled with allure. Although she wouldn't let Peacock leave, if the other party willingly integrated and succeeded, the chances would be much higher.

"Is that so?"

Peacock was also moved by this prospect. Any normal person would find it hard to resist such an offer. The path of immortality is winding, but now there's a clear and broad road before you—wouldn't anyone choose to walk it?

But YuanYuan didn't immediately agree.

There are no free lunches in heaven.

She knew this well and slowly spoke: "What happens if the integration fails?"

The Phoenix smiled satisfactorily. "Good question. You haven't been blinded by sudden good fortune. If you fail, you'll explode and die."

"Oh?"

A glint of sharpness appeared in YuanYuan's eyes, but she didn't show any fear.

"Are you afraid?"

This expression surprised the Phoenix.

"There are no free lunches in heaven. Becoming a True Spirit brings great benefits, but integrating with True Spirit Fire is the hardest step. So, dying and scattering your soul isn't too much to expect," YuanYuan said calmly.

"You see through the risks; the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Since you know this, I don't need to waste words. What's your choice now?"

"Your question—"
