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

163: Chapter 163 Ye Yang’s Conditions! Creating a Special HabitatHalf an hour later, it wasn’t until the helicopter had flown dozens of kilometers away and that terrifying golden figure was no longer in the scout team’s sight that the few men finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

However, they knew that their current position might still be exposed to the sight of that Ancient Creature.

”Captain, you were truly brave to face that monster alone. What did the Ancient Creature say to you?!”

After reaching a safe distance, the members of the scout team couldn’t help but start asking their captain about what had just happened.

In their eyes, although everyone in Jianghai City knew that the Ancient Creature, the giant bird ’Divine Phoenix’, had recorded a video stating it wouldn’t attack their city, this was still its territory. They were intruders, and being able to leave alive was simply incredible.

The team captain’s eyes also held a hint of astonishment.

”I’m also very shocked that we were able to leave this mountain forest alive...”

”What the Ancient Creature ’Divine Phoenix’ told me is classified; I have no right to tell you brothers.”

”Then Captain, does the giant bird Ancient Creature really possess human intelligence like the rumors say?”

The captain recalled the figure from earlier; that massive, noble presence was something he probably wouldn’t be able to forget for the rest of his life.

”The Ancient Creature ’Divine Phoenix’ definitely has human intelligence... and since the spiritual energy recovery and the Red Moon, the changes in the wilderness environment and its creatures have been far too great.”

Recalling the beast tide he had encountered up close and the several massive beasts beside the giant bird Ancient Creature, the captain couldn’t help but feel a trace of worry for Jianghai City.

...

At a clearing in the mountain forest.

The giant bird, covered in brilliant golden light, gazed into the distance. It wasn’t until the helicopter dozens of kilometers away disappeared from his sight that Ye Yang withdrew his gaze.

”Interesting. I didn’t expect that in just two months, humans would truly have stepped onto the path of evolution.”

Out of curiosity, he had used the Detection Spell on that soldier from Jianghai City and received information that surprised him slightly.

Race: Human

Evolution Level: E-

Bloodline: (Unawakened)

Talent: None

Mental Power Level: E+

Mental Skills: None

Skills: Basic Breathing Technique (proficient), Body Tempering Gong (Practiced)

Although the information on the panel was very simple—not even comparable to Ye Yang, and even the panels of Ye Yang’s beast subordinates were much more impressive than this soldier’s—

One must not forget that it had only been two months.

Ye Yang noticed that the Jianghai City soldier’s evolution level had already reached ’E-’!

From a small sign, one can see the big picture; from a single detail, one can know the whole.

”This is just an ordinary soldier. Among the billions of humans, there must be those with even higher evolution levels. I wonder where the top evolution levels have reached by now...”

From this detail, Ye Yang knew that human society... no, at least he could confirm that the Great Xia Kingdom was already implementing a spiritual energy cultivation system on a large scale.

It went without saying that for a massive entity like a nation, if they found good prospects for spiritual cultivation, they would certainly gather them together and cultivate them with the strength of the entire country.

This gave Ye Yang a sense of crisis.

Even though he had the automatic upgrade system which allowed him to level up quickly and automatically, it was still somewhat difficult to contend with the resources of a great nation.

”Forget it, I’ll take it one step at a time. Humans are currently just pathfinders; it’s not even certain if they can truly walk the path of evolution...”

Ye Yang was not one to worry needlessly. For now, he could only focus on developing and raising his evolution level, so he stopped overthinking the issue.

Turning around, he saw Little White Fox Ah Li lying on her back on a cyan rock. Her two small paws were clutching a phone, and from time to time, she would turn her head to take a bite of the Variegated Giant Tiger heart sitting beside her.

She looked indescribably cozy.

Ye Yang couldn’t help but feel a trace of envy. Wasn’t this exactly the happy life of a shut-in from his previous world?!

Ye Yang walked over, his golden pupils narrowing. He saw that the phone screen was actually showing a TV drama from the human world. Moreover, this world was very similar to his previous one; it also had a Korea, and naturally, it had those youthful Oppa romance plots.

Right now, Little White Fox Ah Li was watching this, her small pink eyes full of smiles.

”Ahem... Ah Li, pay more attention to major events in human society in the future. Watch less of these boring TV dramas.”

”Chirp chirp...”

Little White Fox Ah Li nodded, but her eyes remained fixed on the phone screen. ”Chirp chirp... I know, Big Brother... Don’t worry... I’m constantly keeping an eye on the official news of Jianghai City.”

Ye Yang nodded. Looking at Little White Fox Ah Li, who was engrossed in her show, he felt a bit helpless.

He thought to himself.

”This mysterious little white fox with such great potential... she hasn’t been ruined by my training, has she?”

Then he gazed toward Jianghai City. ”I hope those leaders in Jianghai City can act quickly.”

Looking at the collapsed Divine Phoenix Mountain in the distance, he thought, ”This bird’s habitat can’t just be gone like this...”

...

That’s right. If Jianghai City wanted to obtain the dragon blood fruit, the condition Ye Yang had agreed to was for Jianghai City to build him a grand habitat. Furthermore, this wasn’t just an ordinary living habitat—otherwise, Ye Yang could have just changed mountains—it was a habitat with certain special requirements.

Soon, the scout team captain passed Ye Yang’s condition on to the leaders of Jianghai City.

Jianghai City Administrative Hall.

Although it was already late at night, the conference room was still packed with leaders from all departments of Jianghai City.

”You’ve got to be kidding! Does this Ancient Creature really think it’s a ’Divine Phoenix’?! It actually demands that we, Jianghai City, build a habitat for it?!”

”Exactly, it’s wishful thinking. Who builds such a complex habitat? Demanding a massive amount of lightning rods within a hundred-mile radius and even requesting a natural aesthetic for the environment... it really thinks too highly of itself!”

”I suggest we directly apply to the Great Xia Military Department headquarters for heavy firepower. Even if we don’t hunt this giant bird Ancient Creature, we must drive it away!”

Upon hearing the news relayed by the team captain, the conference room immediately became extremely noisy.

There was no helping it; the conditions Ye Yang set were simply too outrageous.

To have them build a suitable habitat and even install massive lightning rods all around it.

The lightning rods themselves didn’t cost much, but constructing the grounding down-conductors and grounding devices for them required a massive price!

After all, beneath the ground of that mountain forest, there wasn’t a single trace of modern civilization. To build underground grounding devices across a hundred miles was such a massive project that the manpower and resources required would be a heavy blow even for a relatively developed third-tier city like Jianghai City.

As time passed, the anger in the hearts of most Jianghai City leaders gradually subsided, replaced by a heavy silence.

Because they knew that the cost of eliminating that giant bird Ancient Creature would not be any lower than the cost of building the habitat.

Then, the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the conference room, Mayor Lin, spoke up.

”Finally, it’s quiet. I think everyone should take a look at this before making a decision...”
