Chapter 107 'World Ode of the Phoenix·Fragment' (2)
After passing the sealing formation, Yun Che was surprised to find that this place turned out to be a flat stone chamber. The stone chamber was unusually wide, with a length of a hundred meters, not to mention two hundred people, even ten times more people could be accommodated.
There are long stone staircases on both sides of the stone chamber, and it seems that there is another layer above. And right in front of the stone chamber, there is a long passage. The passage is about tens of meters long, and at the end is a slowly rotating, and outside
The same red magic circle as the sealing circle.
The formation that sealed the entrance blocked sight, but did not block sound. The howls of the black demon mercenaries outside could be heard clearly and continuously.
"Blow this formation away!" This is the voice of the black devil.
Then, a slight crash came from outside, and then suddenly there was a scream like a slaughtering pig: "Ah! Fire! My hand is on fire, ah~~~"
"Stay back! Everyone, stand back! This sealing formation is so weird, there must be some huge treasure hidden in it! Let me take turns guarding it here! I don't believe they won't come out!"
Even though they reached a safe place, the shadow of fear still enveloped everyone in the Phoenix clan, and the sounds coming from outside made them even more desperate. Yun Che frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he said to Lan Xueruo: "Senior sister,
How long will it take for your giant snow sculpture to wake up?"
Lan Xueruo shook her head and said worriedly: "I don't know either. Xiaoxue is not only overdrawing her strength this time, but also her vitality. It may take a long time to wake up, maybe a week, maybe a month... and maybe more.
Long."
"If it can wake up, how many people can it fly out at one time?"
"Ten people should be fine." Lan Xueruo said.
"Ten people..." Looking at the more than 200 people in the stone room, his brows tightened. If the giant snow sculpture wakes up, there will be no problem for him and Lan Xueruo to escape. But he believes that with Lan Xueruo's temperament
, will 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. I hope I won't offend the Phoenix spirit." Feng Baichuan stood at the entrance of the cave, his face full of sorrow and resentment, as well as sadness and helplessness.
"At least you can save your life for the time being. The phoenix is a sacred spirit. It is impossible to blame you for such a thing." Yun Che walked to his side and said.
"I hope so." Feng Baichuan sighed: "For many years, our clan has kept to ourselves and been cautious, never daring to do anything that might offend the Phoenix Spirit, because we were really afraid. Unexpectedly, today
...And even so, we can only live in peace for the time being. You have also heard the voices of these evil thieves. They obviously want to guard the entrance of the cave all the time. There is no food and water here. We cannot survive for a few days at all, especially the elderly and children.
……well."
"As for food and water, I do have some here. There are more than two hundred people. If we save on using them, we can last for ten days and a half." Yun Che said.
"You?" Feng Baichuan looked at Yun Che with a look of disbelief on his face. Yun Che's body was obviously clean and neat, and he didn't bring anything with him. How could he have enough water and food to support more than two hundred people for more than ten days?
Yun Che didn't waste any time, and with a touch of his left hand, he handed six cyan space rings to Feng Baichuan's hand. These space rings were also obtained by him from the Xiao Sect's treasure house, and they were filled with water and various kinds of food.
, Obviously, the treasure house is not only used by the Xiao Sect branch to store valuables, but also as a refuge in times of crisis. The solid defense in front of the treasure house is extremely difficult to break. In case of an accident, they can
Escape to the treasure house. The water and food specially stored there are enough to sustain them for a long time until the disaster is over.
Feng Baichuan discovered the space ring, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. At this time, Yun Che's voice came to his ears: "Clan Chief Feng, there are a few things I don't understand. Your clan has the blood of Phoenix.
The phoenix is an ancient divine beast, and the phoenix bloodline is far more powerful and noble than the mortal bloodline. Why can't your profound strength break through even the elementary profound realm? I remember you mentioned the 'curse' before, is it related to the curse?"
Feng Baichuan looked stunned, but did not speak for a long time.
"It's my presumption. This should be your family secret. I shouldn't ask any more questions." Seeing Feng Baichuan's silence, Yun Che said immediately.
"No!" Feng Baichuan shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "This is not a family secret, it is 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 face: "The Phoenix is an ancient divine beast. It once came to Tianxuan Continent back then. In order to leave its flames in Tianxuan Continent, it left many trial places. Through
Those who undergo the trial can obtain blood inheritance. And this trace of Phoenix blood can be passed on through reproduction. Thus, the Phoenix clan was born. According to ancestor records, Phoenix left two trial sites in Tianxuan Continent back then.
One place is in the distant Divine Phoenix Empire, and the other place is here. However, that part of the Divine Phoenix Empire is known to everyone and has led to the creation of the extremely powerful 'Phoenix Divine Sect', while this part of the Blue Wind Empire is known to everyone.
The place was found accidentally by our ancestors, and it was not known to the world at all. No one would have thought that there would be a relic of ancient mythical beasts in this desolate and dangerous mountain range of beasts."
"That is to say, this is just a trial place, and not at all a treasure as the evil thieves outside have guessed?" Yun Che nodded his chin.
"That's right." Feng Baichuan nodded: "The ancestors passed the test here back then, and at that time, the Divine Phoenix Sect of the Divine Phoenix Empire had become the protector sect of the Divine Phoenix Empire, with overwhelming power, even the name of the empire,
It was also renamed 'Shenhuang'. That place of trial has also become the highest forbidden area of the Divine Phoenix Sect. Only the highest-level disciples are eligible to enter. The Phoenix bloodline is their greatest pride and glory. If they know about it,
The emergence of the Phoenix bloodline in other places may lead to destruction instead of sympathy."
Yun Che secretly nodded, deeply agreeing. The original name of the Divine Phoenix Empire was the Hero Empire. Later, the Divine Phoenix Sect rose up and supported a new royal family. Even the name of the country was changed to the Divine Phoenix Empire. As a result, the Phoenix bloodline became the name of the Divine Phoenix Empire.
A symbol of glory and uniqueness. If they find out that there are other Phoenix bloodlines, they will definitely eliminate them by any means necessary.
"The ancestors who passed the trial passed on the Phoenix bloodline from generation to generation. By the time it reached the twelfth generation, it had developed into a powerful sect, but it never considered itself a Phoenix clan. The Phoenix mark on the forehead
He has always been hidden in front of people. But in that generation, an ancestor used the flames of the phoenix to fight against people, and the monstrous flames accidentally spread to a small town, burning all 32,000 innocent people in the town."
Yun Che: "..."
"Such a heinous crime aroused the wrath of the Phoenix Spirit in the Trial Land, and was brutally punished. It placed a curse on the Phoenix bloodline of all clansmen of that generation, and the profound strength of all clansmen was forcibly suppressed to the initial level.
At the tenth level of the Mysterious Realm, one cannot take another step for the rest of his life. Moreover, even the Phoenix mark has turned dark red and cannot be hidden anymore. It seems that this mutated mark is used to remind all the tribesmen of the heinous crimes they have committed."
"The ancestors had many powerful enemies, and their power was suppressed to such a low level that they had to choose to hide... Later, they were horrified to discover that this blood curse would be forcibly passed on, and their descendants would be born with forehead scars.
With the dark red mark of the phoenix, the mysterious force cannot break through the primary mystery for the rest of its life. The ancestors have thought of countless ways to remove the curse mark, but it was left by the phoenix spirit, and how can humans interfere with it? Now that thousands of years have passed,
The cursed seal still remains in our blood and has never disappeared. Our family can only hide in the mountains of beasts, keep to ourselves, pray every day to atone for the sins of our ancestors, and pray for the forgiveness of the Phoenix Spirit."
"Today, our clan has withered into this state. A small mercenary group can force us to this point of despair, ha..." Feng Baichuan laughed sadly, with a heavy voice.
, showing too much helplessness and unwillingness.
This was indeed a secret that was impossible to tell to outsiders, but now that it is in such a miserable state, the so-called bloodline and the so-called secret of the race have become a joke. Perhaps the greatest desire of all their tribesmen is
He was not born with the blood of the Phoenix, but just like an ordinary person. He also suddenly understood why even when faced with the huge crisis of the entire clan being slaughtered, Feng Baichuan still did not immediately think of hiding the clan members in the Phoenix ruins.
.Yes, they are afraid. Their family has spent thousands of years and dozens of generations to atone for their sins. They dream of being forgiven by the Phoenix God, but how can they dare to do anything that may be disrespectful to the Phoenix God.
He turned around, looked at the red sealing formation at the end of the passage, and said, "Clan Chief Feng, is the place behind that sealing formation the trial place left by Phoenix?"
"That's right." Feng Baichuan nodded: "These two seals were left by our ancestors back then. Only the blood of the Phoenix can unlock them. They are to prevent outsiders from entering."
Yun Che immediately made up his mind and said, "Then can you help me unlock that seal."
"...Don't you think so?" Feng Baichuan turned his gaze sideways.
"That's right!" Yun Che nodded: "I want to see what kind of trial this ancient beast Phoenix left behind. Now that I have such an opportunity, of course I want to try it."
Feng Baichuan did not refuse immediately, but asked: "Little brother, what is your current level of profound strength?"
"First level of Nascent Realm." Yun Che answered truthfully.
"Absolutely not!" Feng Baichuan looked disappointed, and then flatly refused: "It's not that I don't want you to enter. It's that... when the ancestor passed the Phoenix trial, his profound strength had reached the realm of Lingxuan, and
Even though he possesses fire-type mystical skills, he has to go through extremely difficult times to obtain the blood of the Phoenix and the Phoenix God Pill. Later, some ancestors also passed the trial and obtained the Phoenix God Pill, but these ancestors' profound strength cultivation was not as good as
One is lower than the Lingxuan realm."
"After the bloodline curse came down, no one passed the test anymore. Even the first test, no one could pass it. After all, how could a person with power at the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm resist the test of the Phoenix Flame.
And over the years, some tribesmen who tried to pass the trial even died inside and never came out. You only have the strength of the first level of the Nascent Realm, so there is no possibility of passing the trial, and you may even suffer death.
