Spiritual Energy Revival: Transform Into a Divine Phoenix, Automatically Upgrade

20: Chapter 20: Racial Evolution! Level Up! Extinct Ancient CreaturesIn the night sky, a blurry figure flashed by rapidly; even more surprising was that this figure emitted a hazy light!

In the darkness of the night, it was as dazzling as a firefly!

The beasts living in the forest all looked up at the sky in unison, only able to see a blurry shadow emitting a faint light.

Filled with curiosity, they wanted to follow the figure to get closer.

However, seeing that the blurry figure was flying toward the distant mountain peak, they stopped moving.

The cry from last time, which sounded like a natural predator, had already made the native beasts living in these forest mountains realize that a beast even more terrifying than the Golden Eagle had appeared on the peak.

In their hearts, they regarded the mountain peak as the domain of that terrifying beast; to them, it was a forbidden zone that must never be approached...

...

The gray figure landed on the mountain peak.

After flying for several hours and covering hundreds of miles, Ye Yang finally returned to the peak.

He wasn’t worried at all that the Great Black Wild Boar could find this place. Having flown at full speed for several hours—covering at least a few hundred kilometers—even with the Great Black Wild Boar’s powerful constitution, it would be impossible to keep up.

It was night now. Clouds surged in the sky, obscuring the moonlight of the full moon, and the mountain peak was pitch black.

But in the darkness, the white jade bamboo emitted a faint layer of fluorescence, attracting Ye Yang’s gaze.

“It really is a treasure. Not only does it contain spiritual energy, but it can also provide light!”

Having flown for several hours while clutching the white jade bamboo, Ye Yang’s body was somewhat tired, but his spirit was exceptionally excited!

His golden eyes reflected a cyan light in the night. Locking his gaze on the meter-tall fluorescent white jade bamboo before him, Ye Yang already had a plan in mind.

Rustle!

Ye Yang released the white jade bamboo from his sharp claws and slammed his talons into the ground with force.

Although the ground on the mountain peak was mostly rock, there was still a small portion that was soil.

He quickly dug out a small pit, large enough to accommodate the root system of the white jade bamboo.

Moreover, the location of this small pit was excellent—it was inside the cave on the mountain peak. This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about it being stolen or noticed by other creatures.

After planting the white jade bamboo, Ye Yang’s golden eyes stared at it, sizing it up for a while. Seeing no sign of it wilting, he let out a sigh of relief.

“Logically, bamboo has extremely strong vitality. This white jade bamboo, which appeared due to spiritual energy, shouldn’t just die like this.”

There was a reason he planted the white jade bamboo inside the cave.

First, he wasn’t sure if this white jade bamboo could be eaten and digested like the previous red spirit fruit... Although he could feel a large amount of spiritual energy within it, wouldn’t it be a waste if his body couldn’t digest it?

More importantly, he suddenly realized a key point: the white jade bamboo could actually automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. It was clearly drawing in energy to aid its own growth.

And Ye Yang discovered... the range of spiritual energy drawn in by the white jade bamboo was quite large. Now, because of the bamboo, the concentration of spiritual energy on the mountain peak was twice what it was before!

Combined with his Basic Breathing Technique, which ran automatically twenty-four hours a day, it was simply a permanent experience buff! It allowed him to improve much faster than before!

A perfect match!

So even if the white jade bamboo could be eaten, Ye Yang wouldn’t entertain the thought. After all, long-term benefits were what mattered most.

He went to the cave entrance so he could absorb more lunar energy, then his golden pupils gradually narrowed.

He suddenly thought of something.

“I wonder if that Brown Bear managed to escape...”

Gradually his consciousness quieted, and he fell into a deep sleep.

...

Early morning.

The sun rose slowly from the eastern horizon, scattering wisps of warm sunlight across the land, awakening all things in the world and bringing infinite vitality and warmth to all living creatures.

At the entrance of a cave on the peak of a great mountain within the Jianghai City mountain ranges.

A large gray eagle’s entire body was undergoing a violent change...

“Prompt: Your Basic Breathing Technique’s double-efficiency period has ended...”

“Prompt: After running for a day, your Basic Breathing Technique’s proficiency has increased!”

“Prompt: Your Supreme Aura Cells have sensed solar energy; they have awakened from their slumber and begun to function...”

“Prompt: Your level has successfully risen from E- to E!”

“Prompt: Through the efforts of the Supreme Aura Cells, you now possess one thousand Supreme Aura Cells! Bloodline successfully upgraded!”

“Prompt: Your race, Sparrow, has successfully upgraded to the race White-Feathered Giant Eagle!”

(The ’Ding’ sound used by the system previously has been changed to ’Prompt’ for a better reading experience.)

Ye Yang had just woken up; hearing the string of prompts, he hadn’t even had time to react!

His body was suddenly flooded with intense pain!

It was agonizing; it felt as if countless insects had appeared deep inside his body, gnawing at his flesh, internal organs, and bone marrow.

But at this moment, his golden eyes were full of excitement!

Recalling the prompts in his mind, he knew that his body was currently undergoing a metamorphosis and becoming stronger!

“Hiss... it hurts!”

“Not only has my level increased, but reaching one thousand Supreme Aura Cells has finally triggered a qualitative change. My body is transforming...”

“Pain!”

An even more intense sensation of pain surged forth!

Before Ye Yang could further sense his internal state, an invisible force burst from the deepest part of his body, permeating his skin, flesh, organs, and bones... even the basic cellular matter that composed his body was nourished by this invisible energy.

On the exterior.

The gray feathers on his body fell off in clumps, while his size rapidly increased!

One meter... two meters... three meters!

Finally, his wingspan reached over three meters before stopping!

Furthermore, downy fuzz began to grow on his bare skin, which in the blink of an eye quickly grew into layers of snow-white feathers covering his entire body.

The golden talons on his lower body and his pitch-black beak also changed, turning white. His beak became longer and more slender, his legs became long and powerful, and his white claws were sharp and exposed!

“Whew...”

After a long while, Ye Yang exhaled.

He looked down at his body and found pure white feathers without any other colors; everything in his sight was snow-white.

“I’ve turned into a white bird?”

Since Ye Yang currently had no reflective objects, he didn’t know the full extent of the changes. From the outside, he looked nothing like he did before; even the red plume on his head had disappeared, leaving only his cold, sharp golden eyes the same as before.

“System Panel!”

Host: Ye Yang

Race: White-Feathered Giant Eagle

Level: E

Bloodline: Unawakened (1,000 Supreme Aura Cells)

Skills: Basic Breathing Technique (Proficient)

The entire system panel was completely refreshed; the changes were massive!

His race had changed from Sparrow to White-Feathered Giant Eagle!

His level had risen from the original ’E-’ to ’E’!

His bloodline still hadn’t changed—it was still unawakened—but he now possessed one thousand Supreme Aura Cells.

“Whew...”

Just as Ye Yang was slightly calming his emotions, a stream of information entered his mind.

Ye Yang was momentarily stunned.

“So that’s what the system’s information meant...”
