The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming-Chapter 907 - 901: The Heart of the Phoenix
Chapter 907 -901: The Heart of the Phoenix
Having fought for the country until gravely wounded, only to be betrayed by an internal traitor during his slumber, David Jones could more or less understand the disappointment in the heart of the Fire Separation Vermilion Bird.
However, there was one point that David Jones found quite peculiar.
Those who could serve as vice-principals or in higher positions at Phoenix College were generally trainers of the highest esteem from the Flowery Kingdom, respected and revered. To call them royalty or nobility within the Beastmaster World would not be an overstatement.
Why would such individuals covet a faction like the Evil Soul Sect which was ruthlessly suppressed by the Federation of Trainer Guild and destined to be eradicated from history?
“This is indeed a pile of trouble,”
David Jones casually pocketed the Phoenix Badge, his eyes swiftly and inconspicuously scanned the faces of those present.
...
Counting President Harrison, there were seven Celestial Beastmasters in the conference room at the moment, consisting of four men and three women.
If there were no surprises, the traitor who betrayed the Heavenly Vermilion Bird was among these seven.
“The task of exorcism is of utmost importance. Since the great Vermilion Bird has decreed, I shall entrust this matter to David Jones, the Envoy,” announced President Harrison, setting the tone in front of everyone after Vermilion Bird’s avatar had dissipated.
Phoenix Harrison spoke with a serious face, “I have no objections.”
Since the Star Calendar War, the Heavenly Vermilion Bird had been in deep slumber within the heavily guarded Mountain Sparrow Range, healing its wounds.
Although the Demon Soul Dominator was powerful, he was certainly no match for the Heavenly Vermilion Bird.
Furthermore, the emergence of a Demon God would inevitably cause anomalies between heaven and earth, it was impossible to secretly bypass the perception of Phoenix College’s powerful trainers and arrays to strike against the Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird.
Unless someone from the high ranks of Phoenix College leaked information about the array, or even worked for the Demon Soul Dominator!
That possibility sent a chill through Phoenix Harrison’s heart.
He had initially thought the Evil Soul Sect to be a minor evil trainer force that could be easily eliminated, but now it seemed they even had conspirators among the senior officials of Phoenix College.
“Besides the president, none of the people here can be trusted.” Phoenix Harrison’s eyes darkened slightly, as he planned to uncover the deeply hidden traitor through subsequent investigations.
Before the traitor was identified, delegating the purification of the sacred Vermilion Bird to David Jones might indeed be the best outcome.
After all, the power of a Demon God was a match only for an Immortal.
“I agree as well,” said Remilia Wanton with a nod.
The noisy conference room became quiet in an instant. Except for Thorst Taim, who seemed to have something to say but hesitated, the rest of the Celestial Beastmasters present consented with the flow, agreeing with President Harrison’s decision.
“Envoy, please come with me, I have a matter that requires your assistance,” said Skye Harrison, rising to lead the way.
Hearing this, David Jones followed President Harrison out of the conference room.
…
Mountain Sparrow.
Gazing upon the familiar altar before him, a hint of surprise appeared in David Jones’s eyes.
“This is the Fire Separation Altar. Once activated by Mystic Arts, it can directly transport one to the slumbering place of the great Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird. It is also a special arcane implement used by Phoenix College to select the Vermilion Bird Envoy,” explained President Harrison.
“What do you mean?” asked David Jones, puzzled.
“The guardian of the Fire Separation Altar is replaced every five hundred years. Phoenix Harrison is the current guardian, whereas Remilia Wanton was the guardian before him.”
“In addition, both Thorst Taim and I are maintainers of the altar.”
Having said that, President Harrison sighed deeply.
“Although I loathe to admit it, if there truly is a traitor within Phoenix College, it is highly likely among the four of us: Phoenix Harrison, Remilia Wanton, Thorst Taim, and myself.”
“`plaintext
“???” David Jones looked at President Harrison in surprise.
What was happening? This was the first time he had encountered a powerful trainer who treated him as a suspect.

“The power of the Demon God is mysterious and unpredictable, even I might be caught off guard without knowing it,” President Harrison said with a calm expression. “To avoid any accidents, all the powerful trainers who could touch the Fire Separation Altar can’t be ruled out as suspects.”
Hearing this, David Jones fell silent.
President Harrison’s words were not without reason.
Although a Supreme Deity might be considered among the apex of trainers, they were far from being on par with a Semi-Fiend.
“In order to ascertain the truth of the matter, I will resign from my position and hand over the role of president to my predecessor, Eudes Harrison.”
President Harrison turned to look at David Jones and took out a dazzling, flame-shaped gem from his Star Ring that resembled a divine bird about to take flight.
“This is the Red Phoenix Heart that can heal the great Vermilion Bird. It has infinite vitality, can ward off evil and purge demons, and keeps the mind clear. I want to entrust you with an important mission.”
“Please speak, President,” said David Jones solemnly.
“For years I have actually been looking for a suitable heir for the Envoy inheritance.
If you can use the Red Phoenix Heart to cleanse the great Vermilion Bird of the filth it has been tainted with, I hope you can take over the honor of the Vermilion Bird Envoy and become the first Celestial Beastmaster in the country to command two gods.”
With that, President Harrison handed the flame-shaped gem to David Jones.
[Red Phoenix Heart]: Level IX immortal resource, the quintessential source of power of the Heavenly Vermilion Bird, purified by generations of strong individuals at Phoenix Colledge and possessing the pure power of Nirvana, capable of restoring the Heavenly Vermilion Bird to its full grandeur in critical moments.
Note: The Red Phoenix Heart is the emblematic token of the president of Phoenix Colledge, able to ward off evil, ignore most anomalies.
Seeing the information about the Red Phoenix Heart, David Jones couldn’t help but glance at the Immortal Elixir Order.
Even he, as the Rosewood Leader, had the Immortal Elixir Order to ensure he was not possessed or controlled by evil demons, let alone the highly revered Five Greats presidents.
Clearly, the Red Phoenix Heart was the immortal treasure that Phoenix Colledge used to prevent their leader from being manipulated psychologically or tainted.
With this, the range of suspects might be narrowed down to Phoenix Harrison, Remilia Wanton, and Thorst Taim, but the possibility of Skye Harrison being involved couldn’t be entirely ruled out either.
After all, even the Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird could be affected, not to mention an inanimate object like the Red Phoenix Heart.
“I will do my best,” David Jones said, taking the gem.
“That’s enough. I believe you have the capability,” President Harrison smiled, indicating that David Jones could speak up if he needed any help—the president would be unreserved in his assistance.
Hearing this, David Jones’s eyes brightened.
“Then, may I purchase a few Fire-related iconic resources from the Phoenix Treasury?” David Jones asked.
“Of course,” President Harrison replied, taking out a list of resources from his Star Ring.
“With my current authority, I can allow you access to two iconic resources at most. However, if you can fulfill the divine edict of the great Vermilion Bird, you can take any four iconic resources from the Phoenix Treasury,” said President Harrison in a tempting tone.
You can’t catch a wolf if you’re afraid to lose the sheep—who says the Azure Dragon Envoy of the Rosewood can’t become the Vermilion Bird Envoy of Phoenix Colledge?
David Jones received the list of resources and was immediately drawn to the first ranked iconic resource, the Legendary Fire Essence.
[Legendary Fire Essence]: S tier Level VIII resource, the essence of Fire Rule that appears with the Champion Blessed Dungeon, containing the most pure and yang Fire Arcane Force.
Pharmacists can absorb it to enhance the potency of their innate flame, or use it to improve the Potential of their Fire pets, greatly shortening the growth period of Ultimate Emperor Beast.
“The Fire Separation Altar is temporarily unusable, but this Legendary Fire Essence could be used to speed up the hatching of the Dragon Egg of Doom.” David Jones was somewhat tempted.
