On the back of the seven-colored crane, Mo Tang sat cross-legged, his right hand supporting his chin, and said, "Having a flying mount is great, isn't it? If we get bored on the road, we can chat and cultivate a bit..."
He then deliberately glanced at the large, goofy-looking wolf king beside him.
The wolf king shuddered at his young master's gaze and quickly said, "Young master, I'm a forest wolf, I don't have wings..."
Mo Tang scoffed, "Don't worry, even if you had wings, I wouldn't let you be my mount, it's too beneath you..."
The wolf king: "...!"
This heartless young master, so wicked! He always likes to make fun of me... I've really gotten myself on a sinking ship!
Just as the Wolf King was filled with resentment, Little Fairy Doctor's purple eyes remained fixed on Mo Tang, making him extremely uncomfortable...
"Alright, just ask whatever you want. If you keep staring like that, I'm getting goosebumps!"
Seeing that his attempt to shift the focus had failed, Mo Tang had no choice but to face reality.
A hint of a smile flashed in Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes, and then she asked the resigned Mo Tang, "Tell me, how did you manage to hook up with this young lady from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion again?"
Mo Tang rolled his eyes at her.
"What hooking up? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Judging from Little Fairy Doctor's reaction, it was clear that in her mind, his character in this regard wasn't very trustworthy.
Helpless, Mo Tang could only briefly tell Little Fairy Doctor about his Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline and his knowledge of the Wind and Thunder罡煞 (a type of internal energy).
Beside him, the Wolf King was also eavesdropping...
Regarding the Wind and Thunder Qi, the Little Fairy Doctor wasn't too surprised, as it was considered a matter of luck and opportunity for Mo Tang, quite common on the continent.
However, regarding his Heavenly Phoenix bloodline...
"Could it be that your Mo family ancestors were related to the Heavenly Phoenix? That doesn't make sense, if it were a bloodline passed down from the Mo family, it couldn't be just you..."
At this point, the Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "Were you picked up by your parents?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, the Little Fairy Doctor realized her mistake and quickly looked at him apologetically.
However, Mo Tang didn't care about this at all. After all, he had only inherited the original body and had never even met the original's parents and relatives, let alone had any feelings for them.
"How would I know? They passed away when I was young, and to be honest, my memories of them are already blurry..."
Seeing that Mo Tang's expression didn't seem to be faking it, the Little Fairy Doctor was relieved.
But thinking about it again, her casual remark might not be entirely untrue.
At this moment, Feng Qing'er, who had been standing atop the crane, also walked over at some point. Looking at Mo Tang, she asked curiously, "When did you realize that you had awakened the Demon Phoenix bloodline?"
Clearly, she had overheard the conversation between the three of them, and quite openly at that, even bolder than the brute Canglang King!
Mo Tang pretended to ponder for a moment, then replied, "It should have been when I broke through to the Dou Huang realm. However, the bloodline awakening process wasn't fast at that time. It wasn't until I reached the peak of the Dou Huang realm that I was able to unleash the Demon Phoenix Wings and the Demon Phoenix Sacred Image..."
Feng Qing'er's curious expression instantly turned to shock, and she exclaimed incredulously, "You've actually awakened the Demon Phoenix Sacred Image?"
Mo Tang was also startled by the girl's reaction and asked in confusion, "What? Is it that difficult?"
"Of course!"
Seeing Mo Tang's expression, she almost jumped up in anger.
"Don't you know that even in my Heavenly Phoenix Clan, many people are unable to awaken the Phoenix Saint Image before reaching adulthood?"
Mo Tang honestly shook his head: "I don't know."
Feng Qing'er: "..."
"I can't be bothered with you! We're almost at the Wind and Thunder Mountains. Next, we'll go see my master, Venerable Lei, and ask about the Wind and Thunder罡煞 (a type of internal energy)... Who knows, we might actually be family..."
With Mo Tang's performance, even if the Wind and Thunder罡煞 he's learned is a technique passed down only within his Wind and Thunder Pavilion lineage, it doesn't matter... At most, Venerable Lei will just have another disciple.
Given Mo Tang's displayed talent, coupled with his identity as a Demon Phoenix, it's certain that Venerable Lei wouldn't harbor any ill intentions towards him.
...
...
The East Pavilion of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is located in the Wind and Thunder Mountains on the edge of the Northern Region.
This area is quite peculiar; perhaps due to its high altitude, thunder rumbles constantly, and the weather is unpredictable. One moment it's sunny and bright, and the next, a thunderstorm might break out.
Just as they entered the mountain range, Mo Tang felt a faint, exhilarating sensation emanating from his internal fighting spirit…
"Such dense wind and thunder power!"
Cultivating wind and thunder aura in this place would likely be 30% faster than outside!
Mo Tang secretly glanced at his mini-map and immediately discovered that countless powerful Wind and Thunder Pavilion experts were hidden within this mountain range…
If anyone dared to force their way in, they would probably be blasted to smithereens by these experts before even reaching the depths of the mountain range.
As expected of the Eastern Headquarters of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, its defensive strength is astonishing!
Even Mo Tang could only sigh in admiration.
Compared to this place, his so-called Wind and Thunder Alliance was utterly pathetic…
Led by Feng Qing'er, although the Wind and Thunder Pavilion experts below also noticed the unfamiliar aura on the Seven-Colored Spirit Crane, they made no reaction, allowing the group to directly and smoothly reach Thunder Mountain in the very center of the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range.
After disembarking the spirit crane at the foot of the mountain, the group of six quickly hiked up the mountain.
Before even reaching the summit, Mo Tang and the others could already see the colossal silver tower atop the highest peak, piercing into the rolling thunderclouds…
that was the location of the East Pavilion of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.
The raging lightning, like silver serpents, snaked and
spread across the tower… just looking at its sheer power, anyone below the Dou Huang level would likely perish upon encountering this lightning! "My master usually cultivates in seclusion at the very top of the Ten Thousand Thunder Tower. I'll go to the top to find him in a bit, so please wait for me at the bottom…"
Upon reaching the summit, Feng Qing'er said to Mo Tang and the others.
Perhaps fearing a misunderstanding from Mo Tang, Feng Qing'er added a further explanation: "This Ten Thousand Thunder Tower is the most important place in our Wind and Thunder Pavilion!
Even disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, those who are not elite disciples above the Dou Huang level, are not allowed to set foot inside. Therefore, even I cannot bring outsiders in…"
Mo Tang smiled and nodded, seemingly unconcerned about such matters.
Instead, he's now more interested in this Ten Thousand Thunder Tower... The power of wind and thunder is so dense, although it's worlds apart from the Void Thunder Pool, if he could cultivate here, even without relying on the system's boost, his cultivation speed would definitely not be slow!
