Its body was covered in soft black and white fur, and its body was like a chick's. There were a few strands of fur missing on its pinkish-white head. Its black eyes were filled with curiosity as it looked around.
"Eagle? Peng? Eagle? "
Kong Xuan blinked and moved closer. She looked at the nestling that Yang Jian was holding with curiosity. Then, she shook her head in disappointment. "It really doesn't have the bloodline of the phoenix race."
Hearing that, Xuan Du could not help but scold jokingly, "When this little fellow existed, the phoenix race had not been born yet!"
"You can't say that." Kong Xuan snorted. "Our race has a long history. It has never declined after hundreds of generations!"
Xuan Du smiled and did not say anything. Anyone could tell that Kong Xuan was just putting on a strong front.
Yang Jian sized up Kong Xuan and was a little surprised at the slight change in Kong Xuan's personality. He felt that her personality had changed slightly compared to when he had first met her.
It was probably because of her gender … Probably …
Yang Jian put away the eggshell powder and moved it to the nestling. The latter moved forward, lowered its head, and pecked Yang Jian's palm.
"Hiss!"
Yang Jian took a deep breath and almost threw the nestling away. However, he saw that his palm had been pecked. A few drops of Mystic Blood floated out and were sucked into its mouth.
The nestling jumped happily, and its body grew slightly larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yang Jian looked at Xuan Du. Xuan Du frowned and extended his finger to the little bird. The little bird tilted its head and touched Xuan Du's finger. Then, it continued to look down at Yang Jian's palm.
"Eating its mother's blood?" Kong Xuan said in a low voice. "This must be a ferocious creature."
The nestling lowered its head to peck Yang Jian again. Yang Jian frowned and shook the nestling away gently. He wrapped it with a wave of Xuanqi.
The little fellow was so frightened that it flapped its wings. Its eyes looked at Yang Jian in panic and kept struggling towards Yang Jian.
However, Yang Jian could not bear to do that. That made Yang Jian feel strange.
Xuan Du said, "Try talking to it."
"Yes." Yang Jian nodded. After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you want to eat my flesh and blood to increase your own strength?"
The nestling looked at Yang Jian carefully. It had just broken out of its shell for a while, but it was actually quite intelligent. It hurriedly shook its head.
Chirp …
"Pfft." Kong Xuan could not help but laugh. Yang Jian glared at Xuan Du and said in disdain, "Xuan Xuan".
Yang Jian nodded and agreed. Just as he was surprised to find the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's kindness, Xuan Du said lightly, "If it's really an evil and ominous creature, we'll kill it and split it open to see what's so mysterious about it."
"I thought it would cause a huge commotion." Xuan Du made a gesture and dispersed the array formation that he had set up previously. He glanced at Kong Xuan.
Yang Jian said to Kong Xuan, "Brother Kong … why don't you come with us to search for treasures? I only want the divine pearl. We can improve our tacit understanding. After all, we will have to work together in the future."
Kong Xuan snorted. "Did I agree to help you? The Dao Sect and the Primordial World have nothing to do with me. "
Xuan Du nodded at the side. "In that case, why don't we kill this expert of the phoenix race here without anyone noticing and study his Five-colored Divine Light? Or we can trace it back to its origin and refine the Five-colored Divine Light into Connate Five Elements Qi. Then, we can make a treasure like the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. "
Yang Jian's eyes lit up when he heard that. Kong Xuan took a few steps back as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Yang Jian and Xuan Du looked at each other and raised their heads to laugh.
The two of them did not say anything else. They left side by side and continued their journey towards the huge tomb that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had pointed out.
However, after a short while, Kong Xuan's figure slowly caught up. He followed behind the two of them without saying a word, as if he was waiting for them to apologize.
However, Yang Jian and the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du were chatting and laughing. They teased the chicks and did not express anything.
Xuan Du secretly transmitted his voice to Yang Jian, "For a great cultivator with an extremely high ambition like her, if you want to recruit her for your own use, you have to think carefully. I don't need to count on you to manage people. Just be careful, don't fall into her trap."
Yang Jian snorted. Don't I have the ability to control people?
Thinking about it, that's really my shortcoming.
"I just want to ask her to help me. I don't want to take her in as my subordinate," Yang Jian replied via voice transmission. "She has great potential and can be independent. Such a general can only be found by chance."
Xuan Du chuckled and did not say anything else.
The deeper meaning in his smile made Yang Jian unable to understand it …
The distance between the Great Tombs was far. The Great Tomb that Xuan Du wanted to bring Yang Jian was a little far from the Snow Saint's tomb.
The three of them flew for about ten to twelve hours. Compared to Yang Jian's usual speed when he used the Flying Feather Escape, he was as slow as a snail …
Even if he crawled, he would eventually reach the end.
"This is it." Xuan Du pointed at the dark red "volcano" in front of him and said, "Do you want me to accompany you in? After all, it's rare for me to train myself … "
"Yes," Yang Jian said decisively, catching Xuan Du off guard.
Yang Jian said seriously, "Compared to training myself, I'd rather be confident."
"Alright then." Xuan Du forced an ugly smile. "It's not that Uncle-Master is timid. I've actually explored many tombs, but there are some terrifying existences in every tomb. Every time I enter, I might not be able to leave safely."
"Uncle-Master, wait for me outside." Yang Jian bowed to Xuan Du and said, "Thank you for leading the way for me, Uncle-Master. Previously, I thought that there was nothing inside that could threaten you … I was too arbitrary. This is a treasure hunt. I shouldn't implicate you, Uncle-Master."
Xuan Du waved his hand. "I'll accompany you. We'll leave after we get the treasures. We shouldn't disturb the remnant spirits here."
Yang Jian thought about it for a moment, but didn't say anything. Following Xuan Du's reminder, he put away his spear, then donned his armor and entered the Door of the Great Necropolis. Xuan Du followed.
When the two of them entered the Saint's Tomb, Kong Xuan slowly landed and followed.
"It's not a bad idea to follow them to find a few treasures. There are too many old monsters living here."
Having said that, no one knew if it was true or not.
The structure of the Great Tomb was not complicated. It was mostly a large hall, and the layout was not much different from the Snow Saint's tomb. The main tomb was the main body, and the bodies of the fallen Saints were buried in various ways.
The Dao Law in each Saint's Tomb was different, so the scenery was different. The Snow Saint's tomb was mostly filled with ice and snow wonders. The tomb that Yang Jian had just entered was filled with glass sculptures everywhere with his divine senses. It looked quite spectacular.
Placing the nestling on his shoulder, Yang Jian was fully focused and did not dare to be distracted.
After walking through a short tunnel, the field of vision in front of them suddenly widened.
"This place is not bad," Yang Jian praised in a low voice. Xuan Du responded with a 'hmm', but he was not interested.
In front of them was a hall with no end in sight. The eighty-one glass pillars seemed to be arranged in an irregular pattern, but it also seemed like they were arranged into some kind of formation.
However, the formation seemed to have lost its effect and inexplicably gave off an illusion of dilapidation.
Dilapidation? This place was clearly magnificent …
The glass pillars were engraved with birds and beasts, Connate Ancients, and many scenes of sacrifices. There were also a few stone pillars engraved with scenes of continuous battles.
It should be a record of the Saint's life.
Yang Jian wanted to see the 81st glass pillar, but the pillar was at the center. As soon as he thought about it, the pillar gradually disappeared from his sight.
"Martial Uncle?"
"Don't look around," Xuan Du whispered. "Is the Saint shameless? I'll let you see how he was defeated. "
Yang Jian was stunned.
"You go to the left and I'll go to the right," Xuan Du said. "Most of the treasures are in various corners or hidden somewhere. They might even be right in front of you. If you're not lucky enough or the remnant spirit doesn't want to give it to you, there's nothing I can do."
"Are the twelve pearls really here?"
"Whether they're here or not depends on your own luck."
Xuan Du patted Yang Jian's shoulder and walked to the right. He was also on guard and did not dare to be careless.
Yang Jian immediately sensed that something was amiss …
From the entrance of the cave to here, Uncle-Master Xuan Du seemed to have deliberately let him search for treasures alone …
Perhaps I'm thinking too much.
Yang Jian perked up and walked forward with a layer of worry in his heart.
There were not only 81 stone pillars in the palace, but also some glass sculptures in different places. Some fairies in exotic longuette were frolicking, some mighty immortal generals were fighting and many fierce beasts and demons were ferocious …
Great Dao of Glass? What Great Dao is that?
Yang Jian was puzzled. However, he was limited to his own knowledge and could not figure out what the Saint's Great Dao was.
He walked and stopped, but he did not find anything. Yang Jian's spiritual senses searched everywhere. He did not miss a single corner. Apart from the sculptures, he did not see anything else.
"Where's the pearl …"
Yang Jian muttered. The nestling on his shoulder tilted its head and jumped on Yang Jian's shoulder a few times, attracting Yang Jian's attention.
Yang Jian glanced at it. The latter's small wings pointed at the bottom of the glass pillar not far away.
Yang Jian felt a little suspicious. He leaned over to take a look and rubbed his left foot forward. He seemed to have kicked something, and a grayish-white "ball" rolled out.
Taking a closer look, it was actually a skull!
Yang Jian had seen his fair share of corpses, but when this skull appeared, Yang Jian's hair stood on end from head to toe.
Although this person had been dead for many years, the remnant Dao runes on the skull still made Yang Jian's mystic body vigilant.
A ray of light flowed, and at the bottom of the glass pillar, a skeleton that looked like a human slowly appeared. However, there were only six ribs, and they were very thick. The entire skeleton was also slightly smaller.
There was a gray pearl beside the skeleton that shone gently. Yang Jian raised his hand and grabbed the pearl. He injected a wave of Xuanqi, and a magical Dao rune wrapped around his body.
"Eh? Where did he go? "
Kong Xuan's voice came from behind. Yang Jian turned his head to look at Kong Xuan, only to see the latter flying close to the ground. He stood half a foot in front of him and looked around.
Yang Jian glanced at the pearl in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.
Good stuff.
