Boom!
Red flames suddenly ignited, burning Shen Mo's robes clean off, revealing his strong, muscular physique.
This scene made disciples like Zhao Rou exclaim in shock.
Murong Yue almost rushed over.
However, when she saw Shen Mo unharmed amidst the flames, she understood.
These flames were the Red Lotus Flame that Shen Mo had tamed earlier.
Now, it had appeared on its own to protect its master.
Mo Hanshan, seeing these red flames, raised an eyebrow and looked at Murong Yue.
His gaze had a questioning look.
With his experience, he naturally recognized this as a strange fire, the Red Lotus Flame!
Murong Yue nodded in confirmation.
Mo Hanshan, receiving this confirmation, was even more astonished and became more interested in Shen Mo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Red Lotus Flame burned more fiercely.
The flames gradually took the shape of a phoenix.
At the moment when the phoenix formed, Shen Mo felt a sudden insight and opened his eyes!
High-temperature heat waves swept in all directions.
Murong Yue and Mo Hanshan immediately acted, using their Golden Core stage spiritual power to suppress the heat waves.
This prevented the disciples around them from being harmed.
Shen Mo's eyes gradually cleared.
He looked overjoyed.
"Master!"
He bowed to Murong Yue, his eyes full of joy.
Murong Yue blushed slightly. "You should have spare robes, right? Quickly change into a set."
Zhao Rou and the other female disciples quickly covered their eyes.
On the other hand, Mo Yuheng giggled and stared intently at Shen Mo.
Shen Mo looked down and found himself completely naked!
The critical parts were stubbornly protected by the Red Lotus Flame.
However, it still vaguely revealed some details.
He smiled awkwardly, quickly realizing that the Red Lotus Flame must have ignited during his enlightenment, burning his robes.
He hurriedly took out a new set of robes from his storage ring and put them on.
He thought to himself that he needed to find clothes that wouldn't burn so easily in the future.
Otherwise, being exposed in front of others like this would be unacceptable.
"What did you comprehend?" Murong Yue asked.
"The Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique, the first and second moves," Shen Mo nodded.
Before anyone else could express their surprise, Hong Chilong was the first to react in shock.
"What the heck? I could only comprehend one move. How did you comprehend two?!" He was stunned. "Could it be your physique..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood.
Shen Mo also laughed.
He had been puzzled at first.
After all, he saw on Xiao Fan's life panel that Xiao Fan had only comprehended the first move of the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique.
Yet, he had comprehended two moves.
After a brief thought, he understood.
Xiao Fan's physique was the Earth-grade Fiery Battle Body.
His own, however, was the Heaven-grade Scorching Sun Flame Physique.
Naturally, he could comprehend more.
The Phoenix Nirvana Diagram only contained these two moves.
"Let's go outside the city to an open area and test the power of these moves!" Murong Yue suggested excitedly.
"Alright!" Shen Mo nodded.
Hong Chilong was excited. "I'm coming too!"
"Let's go, Old Zhou, you should come and take a look too."
Zhou Qingcang nodded, "I was thinking the same."
Whoosh.
In an instant, everyone left the Sleeping Phoenix Tower and headed outside the city.
Many curious onlookers eagerly asked who had comprehended the Phoenix Nirvana Diagram.
But no one answered.
Some people wanted to follow them out of the city.
However, Murong Yue and Mo Hanshan released their auras.
Terrified, these people didn't dare to follow.
## Chapter 67: Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique
Outside the city.
The group found a secluded mountain valley.
Hong Chilong chuckled, "I'll go first!"
"The first move of the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique is a fist technique."
He took a deep breath, and suddenly spiritual energy surged as he punched the rock in front of him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The wild flames roared, and immense force erupted.
In an instant, the hard rock was shattered into countless fragments under the fierce flames!
The disciples from Qingxuan Sect and Verdant Vine Sect were all shocked.
Too powerful!
This was definitely not a Profound-grade martial skill; it was at least an Earth-grade skill.
Murong Yue and Mo Hanshan, experienced and knowledgeable, exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
"The power is at least Earth-grade superior grade."
"It is very likely to be an Earth-grade top grade."
"But we can only make a guess."
Hong Chilong chuckled, "Anyway, it's at least Earth-grade, stronger than the martial skills of our Rising Sun Sect!"
"Shen Mo, you give it a try," Murong Yue said.
Shen Mo nodded, "I won't demonstrate the first move. The second move is a palm blade."
He gathered spiritual energy into his palm.
In an instant, substantial flame spiritual energy gathered on his palm.
It formed a real palm blade.
It was about three feet long.
Extremely sharp, with scorching heat.
He suddenly slashed at the rock in front of him.
Crack!
The rock was instantly shattered into countless fragments.
Compared to Hong Chilong's punch that smashed it into pieces.
It was evidently stronger.
Hong Chilong slapped his thigh, "Impressive! This move is stronger than mine!"
Murong Yue and Mo Hanshan nodded repeatedly.
Murong Yue said, "The power of this move is at least Earth-grade top grade!"
Mo Hanshan sighed, "It's a pity it's just a fragment. If it were the complete Nine Suns Divine Phoenix Technique, it might be a Heaven-grade martial skill!"
Heaven-grade!
These two words were like a giant hammer hitting everyone's hearts.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a surge of longing.
Even Murong Yue and Mo Hanshan, Golden Core stage sect masters, couldn't help but yearn for it.
Heaven-grade techniques and martial skills were extremely rare in the entire Xuanjing Prefecture.
One had to go to Yuzhou, a larger stage, to find them.
Of course, some might have the luck to obtain Heaven-grade techniques and martial skills, but that was an exception.
At least, the Five Sects of Xuanjing did not have any Heaven-grade techniques or martial skills.
Hong Chilong looked at Shen Mo with increasing appreciation, "Shen Mo! You're a worthy opponent! I hope we can have a good fight tomorrow!"
Shen Mo smiled, "You might not be able to defeat me."
Hong Chilong laughed heartily, "I'm not like Yin Xuege or Wan Renjie. Regardless of winning or losing, as long as it's fair, I'll accept it willingly!"
At this moment, Zhou Qingcang also looked at Shen Mo and spoke, "Tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you in the final battle."
This statement echoed in everyone's hearts.
The disciples were all taken aback.
Zhou Qingcang's meaning was clear.
He believed that Shen Mo was the one who would meet him in the final battle.
Neither Hong Chilong nor Mo Yuheng was worthy.
"Alright." Shen Mo smiled lightly.
Zhou Qingcang nodded, "Sect Master, I am going back to cultivate."
After bowing and bidding farewell, he walked alone towards Divine Sword City.
"If only Shen Mo and Zhou Qingcang were my sons," Mo Hanshan sighed as he watched them.
Mo Yuheng giggled, "Father, what do you mean?"
Mo Hanshan took a deep breath, "Nothing! Don't pinch me!"
"Let's go back," Murong Yue waved.
"Sect Master Murong, I have something to discuss with you," Mo Hanshan suddenly said.
Murong Yue stopped, "Please speak, Sect Master Mo."
Mo Hanshan smiled, "Just as Qingxuan Sect is not monolithic, neither is Verdant Vine Sect. Factions within the sect are inevitable."
"Don't let the dealings of some people in our sect affect the relationship between our two sects."
Murong Yue was moved, "Since you say so, Sect Master Mo, let's wait and see."
Shen Mo was also thoughtful.
Mo Hanshan must have been referring to the dealings between Song Chaofeng and some people in Verdant Vine Sect.
It seemed that this was not Mo Hanshan's intention.
Rather, some people in Verdant Vine Sect were acting without his knowledge.
