The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Su Jingzhen grew increasingly excited, but a heavy weight also settled in his heart.

Before Bai Suzhen told him that these two creatures were the younglings of the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix, he had been able to remain calm.

At least, he felt that everything was still within their control.

But now, he suddenly had a feeling of anxiety and uncertainty.

If today’s operation went poorly and they let the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix escape…

He feared that he, Su Jingzhen, wouldn’t just be upset for a month or so.

He might actually fall into a deep depression for quite a long time.

Moreover, he knew that if he successfully contracted with the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix, it would become another major turning point in his life within the cultivation world.

In some ways, this moment could even be as significant as when his golden finger awakened.

Since Bai Suzhen couldn’t form the contract herself, it was up to him to try.

No matter what, he had to give it his all.

“You’ve already absorbed a considerable amount of power from the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix.

Moreover, you’ve absorbed several drops of the North Sea Dragon’s blood.

As I’ve mentioned before, you’re essentially already a Heavenly Dragon person, which makes you quite compatible with the dragon race.

So, contracting the Fire Dragon shouldn’t be too difficult.

Both the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix are currently in a chaotic state.

In other words, they’ve just hatched, and their consciousness is still gradually forming.

You need to make sure that once their consciousness fully solidifies, they have an impression of you.

That way, when they fully awaken, they won’t immediately flee but will instead develop some sort of dependence on you.”

As she said this, Bai Suzhen’s tone also carried a heavy seriousness.

But her explanation ended there.

Su Jingzhen’s expression froze again.

“That’s it? Nothing more?”

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s questioning look, a trace of awkwardness appeared in Bai Suzhen’s eyes.

“I don’t have any specific experience with this.

All I know is that you need to leave your mark on them.

In this matter, I won’t offer any further advice; you’ll have to rely on your instincts.

Outside interference might actually be counterproductive.”

Su Jingzhen: “…”

He had thought Bai Suzhen would provide him with a specific method to proceed.

That would have made his actions much easier.

However, it turned out he had to figure it out all on his own. That felt a bit like a cruel joke.

“Suzhen, is there really no specific method?” Su Jingzhen asked, still unwilling to give up.

He cared too much about the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix to act carelessly.

“There isn’t.”

However, Bai Suzhen still gave him a firm answer.

Without waiting for further questions, Bai Suzhen spoke again, “You might need to hurry.

Once dawn breaks, your master may come looking for you. Our time is running out.

Moreover, I can sense that their consciousnesses are rapidly coalescing. It won’t be long before they awaken.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s expression grew even more solemn.

He said nothing more, and after taking a deep breath, the divine consciousness within his Niwan Palace surged outward in an instant, heading straight toward the two clusters of light before him.

Yes, the Fire Crystal and the Frost Stone had shed their outer layers.

After the dragon and phoenix’s aura had permeated the area for so long, Su Jingzhen could no longer discern their exact forms. All that remained before his eyes were the two clusters of light.

Yet, as his divine consciousness surged toward them, it was as if the dragon and phoenix might have been reactivated. The divine consciousness simply couldn’t penetrate them.

Su Jingzhen had initially thought that by relying on his divine consciousness, he could imprint a simple contract mark within them, leaving behind his own aura on the two.

But he had underestimated these two divine beasts. The protective energy their bodies generated was something his Flesh Body Nascent Embryo could not compare to.

With the divine consciousness failing, Su Jingzhen did not become discouraged. He hadn’t expected success on the first try anyway.

After taking another deep breath, Su Jingzhen pulled out a black brick.

Instantly, the blood energy from the eight Secret Repositories within his body began to surge, allowing him to withstand the dragon and phoenix’s oppressive might as he took a step closer to the two clusters of light.

He knew that if these two little creatures fully unleashed their power, there would be no way he could withstand it. But holding the black brick in his hand brought him some measure of reassurance.

He then gripped the brick in one hand and directly reached out toward the crimson cluster of light with the other.

If divine consciousness wouldn’t work, then he would try physical contact.

If he could touch the entities of the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix, it would leave his own mark on their mind.

As his hand approached the cluster of light, an intense, scorching heat emanated from it.

His outstretched left hand felt as though it were about to melt.

Immediately, his skin split open, and excruciating pain shot through him.

Su Jingzhen gritted his teeth but refused to withdraw his hand.

“Today, I’m determined to face you head-on!” he snarled.

On one hand, he was unwilling to accept failure; on the other, his innate stubbornness was fully ignited.

Su Jingzhen continued to reach for the cluster of light, his fingertips disintegrating in an instant, exposing bare white bone.

He had risen to power in less than three months and primarily focused on body refinement, leaving him with limited mastery of more advanced techniques.

He was left with no choice but to rely on this clumsy method.

Meanwhile, the blood energy from the eight Secret Repositories within his body surged continuously toward his left hand.

As the blood energy gathered at his fingertips, he forcefully manifested the form of the North Sea Dragon.

Although this dragon form lacked the overwhelming power it once had, it still emitted a faint aura of dragon might.

However, it was precisely this action that caused Bai Suzhen, who was entwined around him, to inwardly curse at the looming disaster.

Bai Suzhen had vowed not to interfere with Su Jingzhen’s efforts, so she remained silent, knowing that she had no means of dealing with the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix.

At that moment, when the North Sea Dragon’s aura touched the crimson cluster of light, the Fire Dragon’s might within it surged severalfold.

The dragon form Su Jingzhen had condensed at his fingertips was instantly dispersed.

Su Jingzhen could sense a tinge of anger within the Fire Dragon’s might, as if it were outraged that someone like Su Jingzhen would dare challenge a true dragon’s dignity with a lowly flood dragon.

“Not good! Retreat now!”

Bai Suzhen’s voice suddenly rang out urgently in Su Jingzhen’s ear as the North Sea Dragon’s form dissipated.

A ferocious blaze erupted from the crimson cluster of light, hurtling toward Su Jingzhen.

At that moment, Su Jingzhen could smell the scent of death.

This was the might of a true dragon.

Even though it had just hatched and had not yet formed its consciousness, its instinctive counterattack rendered a Flesh Body Nascent Embryo cultivator like Su Jingzhen as fragile as a clay chicken or earthen dog.

Instinctively, Su Jingzhen took a step back, raising the black brick in his right hand to block the attack.

He didn’t believe the Fire Dragon’s strike could kill him, but he was prepared to suffer serious injuries.

However, instead of the violent explosion he had expected, the intense flames that struck the black brick were absorbed by it.

Su Jingzhen keenly sensed a faint gray stream of energy flash across the brick.

Holding the black brick, he could vaguely feel that something had changed. It was as if he could sense the will of the brick—a will that was named ‘desire’.
