Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

210: Chapter 210 Death is not an option, but living is not easy.On this day, Ye Chen had nothing to do, so he wandered around the back mountain.

Watching that round Ice Phoenix Bing Chen lying on a rock sunbathing, a thought suddenly struck him.

This fat bird ate and slept all day long; he didn’t even know what its cultivation level was.

After conversing with it, he learned that its cultivation was actually at the Tribulation Crossing Peak.

Ye Chen secretly clicked his tongue in surprise.

This guy, who was so fat it couldn’t even flap its wings, was actually at the Tribulation Crossing Peak?

He was currently at the Integration Stage, and there was still the Mahayana Realm between him and the Tribulation Crossing Peak.

However, a little sparring wouldn’t result in him getting bullied too badly, right?

Thinking this, Ye Chen cupped his hands and smiled, ”Little Fatty Bird, shall we spar?”

Ice Phoenix Bing Chen opened one eye, glanced at him, and said, ”Brat, show me some respect. Stop calling me Little Fatty Bird all the time; after all, I am...”

Before it could finish, Ye Chen waved his hand and smiled, ”I know, I know, your name is Ice Phoenix Bing Chen. We both have the character ’Star’ in our names; it’s quite a coincidence.”

Ice Phoenix Bing Chen swallowed the rest of its sentence.

It wasn’t just the ’Star’ in our names. I used to be your master.

But it didn’t say that out loud.

Over the past ten years, it wasn’t as if Ye Chen hadn’t inquired about the origins of it and Snow Abyss.

However, throughout the Azure Wave Sect, apart from True Lord Xuanming and the Master of the Underworld River, who else would know?

Ye Chen asked around, only to receive the six words: ”Grand Elder’s spiritual pet.”

Therefore, this brat still hadn’t recognized that the round, fatty bird before him was none other than the former Lord of the Northern Plains, the Nine Nether Ice Phoenix.

And the same was true for Snow Abyss.

She called herself Little Snow, was well-behaved and quiet, and never mentioned the past.

Ye Chen just assumed she was Ice Phoenix Bing Chen’s follower and never thought much of it.

Both the Phoenix and the fox felt a bit disgruntled.

The majestic Nine Nether Ice Phoenix, a presence that once shook the Northern Plains, was now as round as a ball, being called ”Little Fatty Bird” repeatedly by a brat it once protected.

Now that Ye Chen was asking for trouble by wanting to spar, it was the perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Ice Phoenix Bing Chen didn’t say a word; it simply flapped its wings, and its chubby body moved as fast as lightning, slapping a claw onto Ye Chen’s shoulder.

Before Ye Chen could react, he was sent flying, crashing into a large tree, causing leaves to rustle and fall.

”You! You don’t follow the martial code! I haven’t said ’start’ yet!”

The little fatty bird, Ice Phoenix Bing Chen, snorted coldly without answering. It didn’t give Ye Chen a chance to catch his breath, pouncing on him for another round of beating.

With flapping wings, scratching claws, and pecking beak, it attacked relentlessly, every move aimed at his vitals.

Ye Chen was, at the very least, an Integration Stage Cultivator, but in front of the Tribulation Crossing Peak Ice Phoenix Bing Chen, it was like a child facing a strong man; he had no power to fight back.

As it beat him, Ice Phoenix Bing Chen cursed in its heart: Let you call me Little Fatty Bird! Let you not recognize me!

Back in the Northern Plains, you would have had to kneel before me!

Now, you call me Little Fatty Bird at every turn!

The more it thought about it, the angrier it became, and its blows grew heavier.

There was also another thought in its mind: if it didn’t beat him now, once this brat’s cultivation caught up to its own, it might not be able to win anymore.

Given Ye Chen’s Aptitude, that day wouldn’t be too far off.

It should take advantage of the fact that it could still bully him and do it a few more times.

Ye Chen was beaten until he fled with his head in his hands, begging for mercy repeatedly: ”Little Fatty... Ice Phoenix Bing Chen! Senior Ice Phoenix Bing Chen! I was wrong! No more sparring!”

Ice Phoenix Bing Chen turned a deaf ear and chased him for another half an incense stick of time, only then landing back on the rock, panting, and pretending to preen its feathers as if nothing had happened.

Ye Chen sat on the ground, bruised and swollen, grimacing in pain as he cursed inwardly: Why is this fat bird so hot-tempered today?

It was just calling it ”Little Fatty Bird,” was it worth beating him to death for?

He rubbed the bruises on his face while feeling regret.

Why did his mouth suddenly run loose, and why did he want to spar with a Tribulation Crossing Peak spiritual pet?

He had always been cautious and never did things he wasn’t sure about.

What was wrong with him today?

Ye Chen suddenly realized: the Tribulation Qi.

It must be the influence of the Tribulation Qi.

That thing not only attracted disasters and trouble but also disturbed the mind, causing people to act irrationally.

If it weren’t for the Tribulation Qi causing mischief, why would he have actively sought a beating?

Thinking this through, Ye Chen sighed and attributed all his bad luck to the Tribulation Qi.

Seeing that the little fatty bird was no longer chasing him, Ye Chen limped his way out of the Azure Wave Sect.

He dared not return to the back mountain, fearing that the fat bird would go crazy again.

He might as well go out of the Sect to clear his mind and wait until it calmed down before returning.

Outside the Azure Wave Sect, the green mountains remained the same, and the water flowed gently.

Ye Chen walked aimlessly, thinking about how the Tribulation Qi would bring him a disaster every few months.

But strangely enough, after a disaster, a good thing often followed.

Last month, he inexplicably fell off a cliff, but at the bottom, he discovered a piece of ancient spirit jade.

Misfortune might be where good fortune lies, and good fortune might be where misfortune lurks.

This saying was perfectly applicable to Ye Chen.

Can’t die, but living isn’t easy.
