Chapter 107 Fragments of the World Ode of the Phoenix (2)
Through the seal array, Yun Che was surprised to find that there was a flat stone chamber. The stone chamber was extremely wide, with a length of 100 meters. Not to mention two hundred people, even ten times more could be enough to accommodate. There was a long stone staircase on both sides of the stone chamber, which seemed to be a layer above. There was a long passage directly in front of the stone chamber. The passage was about dozens of meters long, and at the end, it was clearly a red magic array that rotated slowly, like the seal array outside.
The formation sealing the entrance isolates the sight, but does not block the sound. The howlings of the black demon mercenaries outside are clearly and constantly coming in.
"Blow away this formation!" This is the voice of the black demon.
Then, a slight impact sound came from outside, and then suddenly a scream like a pig slaughtering sounded: "Ahhh! Fire! My hands are on fire, ahhh~~~"
"Retreat! All of them will retreat! What's the matter? This sealing formation is so strange, there must be some huge treasure hidden inside! Take my shift here to guard it! I don't believe they will never come out!"
Although we arrived at a safe place, the shadow of fear still enveloped everyone in the Phoenix clan, and the sound from outside made them feel even more desperate. Yun Che frowned and thought for a long time, he said to Lan Xueruo: "Senior Sister, how long will it take to wake up with your giant snow sculpture?"
Lan Xueruo shook her head and said worriedly: "I don't know either. Xiaoxue overdraws this time not only strength, but also vitality. It may take a long time to wake up, maybe a week, maybe a month... and maybe a longer time."
"If it could wake up, how many people could it fly out at a time?"
"Ten people should be fine." Lan Xueruo said.
"Ten people..." Looking at the more than 200 people in the stone chamber, his brows tightened. If Ju Xue Diao woke up, it would be no problem for him and Lan Xueruo to escape. But he believed that Lan Xueruo's temperament would never be willing to leave these people alone... Although their life and death can be said to have nothing to do with her.
"I finally hid here, hoping not to offend the Phoenix's god." Feng Baichuan stood at the entrance of the cave, his face full of sorrow and resentment, as well as sorrow and helplessness.
"At least you can save your life temporarily. The Phoenix is the sacred spirit. It is impossible to blame you for such a thing." Yun Che walked to him and said.
"I hope so." Feng Baichuan sighed: "For many years, our clan has been obedient and trembling, and never dared to do anything that might anger the Phoenix Spirit, because we are really afraid. I didn't expect that today is still... and even so, we can only live for the time being. You can also hear the voices of these evil thieves. They obviously have to stay at the entrance of the cave. There is no food and water here, and we can't hold on for a few days, and the elderly and children are even more...ah."
"I have some food and water here, more than 200 people. If I save money, I can last ten days and half a month." Yun Che said.
"You?" Feng Baichuan looked at Yun Che with disbelief. Yun Che's body was clearly clean and neat, and he didn't bring anything. How could there be water and food that could support more than 200 people for more than ten days?
Yun Che didn't say anything nonsense. He put six blue space rings on his left hand to Feng Baichuan. These space rings were also obtained by him in Xiao Zong's treasure library, which were filled with water and various foods. Obviously, the treasure library was not only used as a place for storing valuables by Xiao Zong's branch, but also as a shelter in times of crisis. The strong defense in front of the treasure library was extremely difficult to break. If an accident occurs, they could escape into the treasure library. The water and food stored in it were enough to support them for a long time until the disaster passed.
Feng Baichuan discovered the space ring, and then his face showed a look of surprise. At this time, Yun Che's voice came from his ears: "Captain Feng, I don't understand a few things. Your clan has the blood of phoenixes, and phoenixes are an ancient divine beast. The blood of phoenixes is far stronger and noble than the blood of mortals. Why can't your mysterious power even break through the First Xuan Realm? I remember you said 'curse' before. Is it related to curse?"
Feng Baichuan was stunned, but he didn't speak for a long time.
"It was me who took the liberty. This should be the secret of your family. I shouldn't ask too much." Seeing Feng Baichuan silent, Yun Che said immediately.
"No!" Feng Baichuan shook his head and laughed mockingly: "What kind of family secret is this? It's just the punishment and retribution we have suffered."
"Punishment? Retribution?" Yun Che was surprised.
Feng Baichuan closed his eyes slightly and said with a heavy expression: "The Phoenix is an ancient divine beast. It had descended to the Tianxuan Continent to leave its flames in the Tianxuan Continent, thus leaving many trial places. Those who pass the trial can obtain blood inheritance. And this phoenix blood can be passed on through reproduction. Therefore, the Phoenix clan was born. According to the records of the ancestors, the Phoenix left two trial places on the Tianxuan Continent, one in the distant Divine Phoenix Empire, and the other is here. However, the world knows the world and has achieved the extremely powerful "Phoenix God Sect". This place in the Cangfeng Empire was found by the ancestors by accident and is not known to the world. No one would have thought that there would be a ruin of ancient divine beasts in this desolate and dangerous mountain range of Ten Thousand Beasts."
"That is to say, this is just a place of trial, and it is not a treasure that the evil thieves outside guessed?" Yun Che said, lit his chin.
"That's right." Feng Baichuan nodded: "The ancestors passed the trial here. At that time, the "Phoenix Divine Sect" of the Divine Phoenix Empire had become the guardian sect of the Divine Phoenix Empire, with its power covering the sky. Even the name of the empire was changed to the name of "Divine Phoenix". That place of trial also became the highest forbidden area of the Phoenix God Sect, and only the highest-level disciples are qualified to enter. The Phoenix Bloodline is their greatest pride and glory. If they knew that there was also the Phoenix Bloodline in other places, it might not be the same vein to cherish each other, but to destroy it."
Yun Che nodded secretly and agreed. The Divine Phoenix Empire was originally named Hero Empire. Later, the Phoenix God Sect rose strongly and supported the new royal family. Even the country name was changed to the Divine Phoenix Empire. Therefore, the Phoenix Bloodline became the glory and unique symbol of the Divine Phoenix Empire. If they really found that there were other Phoenix Bloodlines, they would definitely eliminate it by any means.
"After passing the trial, the ancestors passed on the phoenix bloodline from generation to generation. By the time they were passed on to the twelfth generation, they had developed into a sect with powerful power, but they never regarded themselves as the phoenix clan, and the phoenix mark on their foreheads was hidden in front of people. In that generation, an ancestor fought with people with the flame of the phoenix. The surging flame accidentally affected a small town, burning all the 32,000 innocent people in the town."
Yun Che: "..."
"This heinous crime has caused the wrath of the Phoenix Spirit in the Trial Land, and was punished cruelly. It has laid a curse seal in the blood of all the people of that generation, forcibly suppressing the mysterious power of all the people to the first Xuan realm level ten, and cannot take any further in life. Moreover, even the Phoenix Seal has turned dark red and cannot hide anymore. It seems that with this mutated mark, all the people of the tribe remember the heinous crimes they committed."
"The ancestors had many powerful enemies, and their power was suppressed to such a low level, so they had to choose to hide... Later, they were frightened to discover that this blood curse would be forcibly passed on. When their descendants were born, they had a dark red phoenix mark on their foreheads. The mysterious power was also unable to break through the Chu Xuan for life. The ancestors had thought of countless ways to remove the curse mark, but it was left by the Phoenix God, and it was not something that humans could interfere. Now, thousands of years have passed, and the curse seal is still left in our bloodline and has never disappeared. Our clan can only hide in this mountain of beasts, be at peace, praying for the ancestors every day, and praying for the forgiveness of the Phoenix God."
"Today, our clan has withered into this shape. A small mercenary group can force us to this desperate situation, haha..." Feng Baichuan laughed sadly, and there was too much helplessness and unwillingness in his heavy voice.
This was indeed a secret that could not be told to people from outside the clan, but at this miserable point of decline, the so-called bloodline and the so-called racial secrets have become a joke. Perhaps the greatest desire of all their clan members is that they are not born with the phoenix bloodline, but like an ordinary person. He also suddenly understood why, even in the face of the huge crisis of the entire clan being slaughtered, Feng Baichuan still did not think of letting the clan members hide in the phoenix ruins at the first time. That's right, they were afraid. Their clan has spent thousands of years and dozens of generations to atone for sins. He dreamed that he was eager for the forgiveness of the Phoenix God, but how could he dare to do anything that might be disrespectful to the Phoenix God.
He turned around, looked at the red seal formation at the end of the passage, and said, "Captain Feng Clan, is the trial place left by the Phoenix behind?"
"That's right." Feng Baichuan nodded: "These two seals were left by our ancestors back then. Only the phoenix bloodline can be untied, in order to prevent outsiders from entering."
Yun Che immediately made up his mind and said, "Then can you help me untie that seal?"
"...Do you want to?" Feng Baichuan looked sideways.
"That's right!" Yun Che nodded: "I want to see what kind of trial this ancient divine beast Phoenix left behind. Now that I have such an opportunity, of course I have to try it."
Feng Baichuan did not refuse immediately, but asked, "Little brother, what is your current level of mystery?"
"Entering the first level of the Xuan Realm." Yun Che answered truthfully.
"Absolutely not possible!!" Feng Baichuan looked disappointed, and then flatly refused: "It's not that I don't want you to enter. But... When the ancestor passed the phoenix trial, his mysterious power had reached the Lingxuan realm and had fire-based mysterious power. Even so, he passed the extremely difficult time to obtain the Phoenix blood and Phoenix Divine Pill. Later, some ancestors passed the trial and obtained the Phoenix Divine Pill, but none of the mysterious power cultivation of these ancestors was lower than that of the Lingxuan realm."
