The Great Dao that Zhang Xuan had executed earlier was actually the Great Dao of Casanova. In the instant that it clashed with the Great Dao of Qianqiu, Zhang Xuan had made use of his Great Dao of Understanding to strip him naked once more.
In the past, he had been able to flutter in the wind, but now … the cold wind was drilling right into his body, tearing his clothes apart.
Xue Qianqiu was on the verge of going insane.
While others loved freedom, he did not know whether he was free or not, but he was definitely not a virgin anymore.
While Xue Qianqiu was suffering a mental breakdown, Su Yin had managed to break free from the shackles of the Great Dao of Time and entered the door, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
"AHHH!"
With a frenzied roar, Xue Qianqiu was just about to chase after Zhang Xuan when he suddenly saw Yama staring at his lower body with a curious look.
Not only so, the Dragon Emperor, who was spurting blood, had also forgotten to spit it out. He blinked his eyes in contemplation.
"Pu!"
Spurting a mouthful of blood, Xue Qianqiu hurriedly used his Zhen Yuan to form a set of clothes to cover his body. He turned to the Golden Crow Senior, only to see the latter saying with a straight face, "I didn't see anything at all. It's true!"
"…"
Xue Qianqiu felt his liver hurting. He knew that he would only be humiliating himself if he continued to dwell on this matter. Thus, he suppressed the urge to spurt blood and said, "Hurry up and enter. We mustn't let that fellow succeed!"
"Alright!" The crowd nodded as they rushed toward the passageway. However, before they could even reach it, a powerful force suddenly swept across the area.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the previously stable space suddenly burst apart. In the blink of an eye, the door collapsed into a black dot before vanishing from the spot.
"…"
Everyone was stunned. They were completely dumbfounded.
Wasn't this what they had discussed earlier? They were going to destroy the door and leave Su Yin outside …
Why was it the other way around?
They were left outside, but the other party had entered!
"Hurry up and reopen it!" the Golden Crow Senior shouted.
"Pu! Pu! Pu ~ "
The Dragon Emperor spurted blood by the side, ignoring the Golden Crow Senior's words.
"… The heck!" The three Rule realm experts were on the verge of going insane.
Xue Qianqiu didn't look like that when he was blowing the wind earlier …
Screw up of the Dragon Emperor at such a crucial moment!
"Hu!"
Gritting his teeth, the Golden Crow flicked his finger, and a round pill flew straight to the Dragon Emperor.
Everyone thought that he had only refined three Sun Primordial Fire Pills, but in reality, he had refined five of them. He had secretly hidden three of them on him as a trump card to replenish his strength when he encountered danger.
At this moment, he couldn't care less. This fellow's injuries were too severe. Only a treasure of this level could heal him.
"What are you looking at? I can only restore his physical body. Why don't you think of a way to restore his soul …"
He turned to look at King Yanluo.
Knowing that there was no time to waste, Yama flicked the Judgment Brush in his hand, and a droplet of warm river water descended from the sky and flew right into Zhang Xuan's mouth.
Yellow Springs Heart Water!
The Yellow Spring Water was easy to find. His teacher's body was a Yellow Spring River, so he could take out any one of them. However, this kind of water could only help a Sage-to-be recover. The effect of a Sage was much weaker than that of a Sage, let alone a Rank Six expert like the Dragon Emperor!
As such, the Yellow Springs Heart Water was the only way to help the Dragon Emperor recover swiftly. However, the Yellow Springs Heart Water was simply too rare. Even after so many years, his teacher had only given him three droplets.
However, the Dragon Emperor's condition was more important at this moment. No matter how precious the Yellow Springs Heart Water was, he couldn't care less about it.
The Yellow Springs Heart Water and Sun Primordial Fire Pill flew into the Dragon Emperor's mouth simultaneously.
Boom!
As soon as the two treasures entered the Dragon Emperor's body, pure energy flowed through his body. With the help of Xue Qianqiu's Thousand Autumns Great Path, it took less than two breaths for the Dragon Emperor's severely injured body to recover completely. Not only so, his cultivation had also reached Half-Law realm!
"Thank you …"
The Dragon Emperor exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and a dragon's roar echoed in the air.
As expected of a Rule realm expert. The treasures that the other party had taken out were simply too useful to him.
With his cultivation recovered, the Dragon Emperor repeated his previous action. Not too long later, a door appeared outside the palace once more.
"Let's enter!"
Knowing that they were more than ten breaths later than the young man, Xue Qianqiu, the Golden Crow, and the others hurriedly entered the door.
Hopefully, the young man didn't manage to find the remains of the Dragon Tribe's crown prince and the Phoenix Tribe's Nongyu. Otherwise, their efforts would have been in vain.
…
…
After destroying the entrance, Su Yin heaved a sigh of relief.
It might have seemed like he had the upper hand earlier, but in truth, it was extremely dangerous. A single misstep could have led to him being surrounded by the three of them, consigning him to eternal damnation.
It was fortunate that he had succeeded!
"Even though Ao Jiang's bloodline isn't as pure as the Dragon Emperor's, it's still a grade-6 pinnacle expert. True Dragon Sword … advance!"
With a low bellow, Ao Jiang's corpse floated before Zhang Xuan.
Boom!
Dragon scales, dragon blood, and dragon bones were reduced to dust and fused with the sword.
In an instant, the sword that had been sealed for a long time broke through once more, reaching grade-6 pinnacle.
Su Yin's strongest attack was still the Human Emperor Swordsmanship. However, due to his lack of mastery over it, he was unable to bring out its full potential. The advancement of the True Dragon Sword had resolved his urgent need.
He lowered his head to look at the other treasure in his palm — the Ten Thousand Dragon Armor.
The greatest function of this item was defense. His physical body was already at grade-7 pinnacle, so there was not much difference. Therefore, it would be a waste to wear it.
"Let's increase the defense of the Vitality Pearl and turn it into an offensive weapon!"
An idea popped up.
All this while, the Vitality Pearl had only provided him with energy, life, and treasures. When it came to offense, he relied on his swordsmanship the most. It was not that he did not want to use it, but this Dharma treasure was not that sturdy.
In the past, he did not have a suitable Dharma treasure to refine. Now, the Ten Thousand Dragon Armor's defense was the best. Once he succeeded, it would definitely allow the former to advance further. Its defense and offense would be greatly enhanced.
Boom!
The Golden Crow's Origin Flame and the Parasol Tree Fire burned at the same time. The Ten Thousand Dragon Armor immediately turned crimson red and melted into liquid. The Great Path of Equipment Refinement appeared once more, and the two quickly merged.
Soon, the Vitality Pearl swallowed the armor completely. Layers of scales appeared on the surface of the pearl. They were densely packed and emitted a sharp aura.
Su Yin's eyes lit up.
The Vitality Pearl that merged with the armor was still grade-7 pinnacle. However, its defense had already surpassed that of the True Dragon Sword. It could be said to be the best offensive Divine Weapon.
If he met Xue Qianqiu again, he would not need to take off his clothes. He could smash his Thousand Years Great Path on the spot, unable to shackle it.
Hu!
Zhang Xuan put the two Dharma treasures back into his body. With a thought, the Phoenix Emperor appeared before him.
When he forged the two Dharma treasures, he made use of the Great Path of Time. It looked complicated, but in reality, it took less than a breath outside. If nothing went wrong, Xue Qianqiu should still be outside.
"This is the interior of the Ethereal Immortal Palace?"
The Phoenix Emperor appeared and looked around.
There were no buildings or passageways in his sight. Instead, it was a vast and boundless space. Up, down, front, back, left, and right. There were six directions, and there was no end to them. It was like chaos.
"Where should we go?" The Phoenix Emperor was confused.
The passageway that was destroyed earlier had already disappeared. The two seemed to have entered a circular container, and they could not find the exit.
Su Yin frowned. "We have to choose one. The passageway won't be able to trap the Golden Crow for too long. If nothing goes wrong, we'll be able to enter soon. By then, we won't be able to leave.
At this moment, no matter how complicated the situation was, he could not afford to waste too much time. This was because Xue Qianqiu and the others would not give him enough time. He had to enter the depths of the Ethereal Immortal Palace as quickly as possible, find the treasures, and leave as soon as possible.
"There seems to be a star in front …"
The Phoenix Emperor suddenly pointed ahead.
Su Yin raised his head and saw a circular star floating in front of them. It was not too big, only several dozen meters in diameter. It looked like a huge floating ball of hydrogen.
The two of them exchanged glances, and without any hesitation, they flew over and landed on it.
Weng!
The ball seemed to be hollow. As soon as their feet came into contact with it, a thunderous rumble echoed.
"There's more ahead …" The Phoenix Emperor continued shouting.
They landed on another star, and it was of the same size as the first one. As soon as their feet touched the ground, a thunderous rumble echoed as well. However, the sound was much sharper than before.
Su Yin frowned.
They continued advancing forward.
There was another identical ball, but the sound was even sharper. They advanced forward one after another, and the area before them was empty. The two of them came to a halt.
The Phoenix Emperor said, "There's a total of five stars, and the distance between them isn't too far apart. If we were to include the space where we were standing after entering, there should be six of them. "
At this moment, they realized that the space where they were standing previously was also a ball of the same size. However, the arrangement was different from the five stars in front of them.
These five stars formed a straight line, and the distance between each of them was extremely similar. On the other hand, the first one stood opposite one of the five stars, as if it was on the other side of the star.
"This should be some kind of unique arrangement. We'll only be able to leave after finding the pattern …"
Su Yin looked left and right. Apart from the six stars, there was nothing else. Su Yin pondered for a moment before speaking.
This was probably a trial left behind by Crown Prince Xiao Shi. There was bound to be some kind of unknown pattern between the six stars.
If they could not find it, they would not be able to leave.
"Un, but … I don't know the pattern either …" the Phoenix Emperor said with a bitter smile.
He had only received news about the Ethereal Immortal Palace, but he knew nothing about its layout.
"I guess I'll have to find it myself …"
Su Yin's brows furrowed into a knot. He took a step forward and flew back, landing on the fourth star once more.
Weng!
The ground vibrated. Just as Su Yin was about to listen carefully, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly leaped upward.
Si la!
As soon as he left the spot, a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, creating a massive tear in space.
"This …"
Su Yin's scalp went numb as his entire body stiffened.
If he had not dodged in time, he would have been severely injured by the lightning bolt.
This lightning bolt harnessed the full might of a grade-7 pinnacle cultivator. Even with his current physical body, he could have been torn apart by it.
"There's actually an attack?" the Phoenix Emperor exclaimed in shock.
It was fortunate that he did not take the risk to charge over. Otherwise, given his strength, it would have been difficult for him to do so.
"Don't move for the time being …"
Su Yin instructed before flying toward the third star. As soon as he landed, a gust of wind tore through his skin. He quickly dodged, and as expected, another lightning bolt appeared.
He continued forward, and another attack appeared.
"Could it be … that this is a path of no return? Once I've come here, I'm not allowed to go back?"
With a thought, Su Yin flew from the second star to the third star.
If his conjecture was right, he should not be attacked as long as he continued forward.
Boom! Boom!
As soon as he landed, the sense of danger grew even stronger. Following which, he saw two lightning bolts striking down on him.
Su Yin was at a loss as he dodged the attack in a sorry state.
The first time he advanced, he did not suffer any attacks. When he walked back, a lightning bolt appeared with every step he took. Now that he turned around, he was struck twice!
What was going on?
"Could it be related to the number of times I came into contact with the stars? For example, I've come into contact with the stars three times, so I was struck twice … "
Su Yin's mind swiftly flashed by.
He had to find a pattern as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would be trapped here forever.
"Let me give it a try!"
In order to figure out his thoughts, Zhang Xuan leaped onto the fourth star.
As expected, he was struck twice as well.
This time, he did not head toward the fifth star. Instead, he flew toward the first star, and he was struck once.
"As expected … The more I come into contact with the stars, the more attacks I will suffer. I might be able to dodge one or two, but if there are too many, even a grade-7 pinnacle cultivator like me will have no choice but to face them head-on …"
After experimenting a few more times, Su Yin found a pattern. Just as he had guessed, a deep frown formed on his forehead.
From the looks of it, the stars did not fall randomly. Every time they fell, the number of attacks would increase. Initially, he was still able to withstand them, but as the number of lightning bolts increased, it became harder to dodge them. If this continued, there was a high chance that he would be obliterated.
"How is it?"
Seeing Zhang Xuan jumping around, the Phoenix Monarch asked anxiously.
"There is a pattern to it, but I haven't figured out what it is yet …"
Su Yin told the Phoenix Monarch about his discovery. After a moment of contemplation, the Phoenix Monarch asked, "Regarding the legend of Crown Prince Xiao Shi and Princess Nongyu, do you think that there's anything you haven't told us yet?"
"There's nothing else …"
The Phoenix Monarch shook his head. Then, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh right, it seems like Crown Prince Xiao Shi and Princess Nongyu are fond of music. The two of them were able to get together through music, and they became close friends! The crown prince was skilled in the flute while the princess was skilled in the sheng. The two of them played the flute in harmony, and they got along very well. "Eventually, Crown Prince Xiao Shi taught Nongyu how to play the flute, and the latter picked it up swiftly. Every time she played the flute, the crown prince of the Dragon Tribe would become excited, and his emotions would surge forth. Eventually, he would morph into a massive dragon and soar into the sky. Thus, the legend of 'Nongyu Plays the Flute, Crown Prince Xiao Shi Rides the Dragon' came to be!"
"…"
Su Yin's lips twitched.
Are you serious about this flute?
"Flute, flute, flute …"
Su Yin didn't think too much about the positions that the immortal couple liked. Instead, he began to recount the legend that the other party had described to him. Suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind. "A flute has six holes, five at the front and one at the back. It just so happens that they correspond to the stars. Furthermore, when I landed on the ground earlier, the stars produced a sound, and there was a change in rhythm … Could it be that these aren't stars but the holes of the flute?"
When one's feet came into contact with the stars, not only would there be lightning crackling, there would also be a chime similar to that of a bell. Initially, Zhang Xuan thought that the flute might be hollow, so he didn't pay much attention to it. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.
Could it be that …
The other party didn't set up these stars but the holes of the flute. Only those who came later would be able to leave after playing the corresponding tune?
"If it's a tune … what kind of tune is the most suitable?"
Having thought this through, Su Yin fell into deep thought. In an instant, he seemed to have entered the realm of Crown Prince Xiao Shi. Lying on a long bench, he quietly enjoyed the pleasure of his beloved woman playing the flute.
The melodious tune lingered in his ears, reverberating between his lips and teeth.
In an instant, he wished that he could morph into a dragon and soar into the sky.
"It's the Dragon and Phoenix Duet …" A tune appeared in his mind.
As the Zither Saint, he was well-versed in ancient tunes. The Dragon and Phoenix Duet was one of the most popular tunes between men and women. It was impossible to verify who composed it, but at this moment, Su Yin realized that it must have been composed by Crown Prince Xiao Shi!
His motive was to play it for his beloved Princess Nongyu!
"Phoenix Monarch, go to the star at the very beginning and stand there. Don't move!"
After understanding this, Su Yin turned around and gave the order.
"Alright!" Seeing that Zhang Xuan seemed to have figured out something, Phoenix Monarch hurriedly flew to the star at the very beginning and landed on it carefully. Seeing that there wasn't any lightning, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Now, I'll play the Dragon and Phoenix Duet …"
Having figured out the solution, Su Yin didn't think too much about it. With a thought, the tune flowed in his mind. With a slight jolt, he landed on the first note.
Weng!
The flute-like sound of the flute echoed from the stars. Zhang Xuan's figure flickered as he landed on the stars one after another.
The tune sounded.
Zhang Xuan landed on the same spot twice, but there wasn't any lightning at all.
Knowing that his deduction was correct, Su Yin plucked the zither lightly, and the Zither Dao floated in the air. Strictly following the rhythm, the zither played freely among the stars.
Wuwuwuwu!
The flute's sound echoed loudly.
The Dragon and Phoenix Duet played with the flute had a unique flavor to it. It sounded as though lovers were entangled with each other, but at the same time, it sounded as though they couldn't bear to be separated. It tugged at one's heartstrings.
"To think that these stars are actually … musical instruments!"
Only then did Phoenix Monarch come to a realization.
It was fortunate that the one who came was Su Yin, and he had comprehended the Zither Dao. Otherwise, even if he knew the story of Xiao Shi and Nongyu, he would have thought that it was just a flute.
Wuwuwu!
The flute's sound grew louder and louder, and it sounded as though the winds of hell were blowing. The Phoenix Monarch felt his blood boiling, and his hair stood on end. At this moment, putting aside Xiaoru, even if the Phoenix Queen was here, he would still be able to stop her in her tracks.
Just as the Phoenix Monarch was feeling agitated, he suddenly felt a chill behind him. He slowly turned his head around, only to see four figures less than five meters away from him.
If they weren't … the Golden Crow, Yama, Xue Qianqiu, and the others, who could they be?
They had actually opened up the passageway and arrived before him!
"It seems like you aren't too late … Die!"
Seeing that the two of them had yet to escape, the Dragon Monarch's eyes lit up. With a low harrumph, he charged forward to grab them.
In any case, they were already in an irreconcilable relationship, so there was no need to care about friendship and face!
Boom!
The pitch-black space collapsed, and the Half-Law realm cultivation of the Phoenix Monarch shrouded the surroundings with the might of the heavens and earth.
"You …"
The Phoenix Monarch's body turned cold. In the blink of an eye, he reverted back to his original form and flapped his wings.
Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens!
Without any hesitation, he executed his strongest attack.
However, the Phoenix Monarch was only at the sixth rank at the moment, far weaker than the Half-Law realm cultivator. On top of that, Xue Qianqiu and the others were pressuring him as well. As such, the might of his attack was immediately deflected, resulting in a massive backlash.
Pu!
Fresh blood spurted from the Phoenix Monarch's mouth as he was sent flying. The Dragon Monarch was just about to launch another attack when a massive sphere suddenly appeared before him.
Before the sphere could even reach him, a sharp aura tore through space, and a powerful shockwave burst forth from it. The Dragon Monarch's face reddened, and blood spurted out from his claws. His massive body immediately fell to his knees. His knees had been shattered, and several of his bones had been fractured.
The might of the Origin Energy Orb was simply too great. Even though he had just reached the seventh rank, he still wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"You're courting death!"
Knowing that it was Su Yin who had made a move, Xue Qianqiu, the Golden Crow, and Yama immediately made their move.
The attacks of the three seventh rank Saints collided with the Origin Energy Orb, and a resounding buzz echoed in the air as it was sent flying.
After refining the Myriad Dragon Battle Armor, even though the attacks of the three experts were powerful, it was still impossible for them to breach its defenses in a short period of time.
Su Yin, who was playing the Dragon and Phoenix Duet, heaved a sigh of relief and sped up to finish playing the rest of the score.
Wu wu wu wu!
The music was filled with grief, stirring one's emotions. After listening to it for a while, Yama's gaze toward Xue Qianqiu gradually grew fiery.
However, this feeling was quickly suppressed by him. Only then did he realize that the other party had mixed the Dao of Guqin and the Dao of Emotions in the performance, which had almost bewitched him.
Just the thought of how he had almost fallen in love with a eunuch caused the blood in his body to rush to his face. With a furious roar, he launched a barrage of punches, causing the Yin energy in the underworld to surge violently, as if it were trying to assimilate the entire world.
The Golden Crow also used all its means. Sunlight shone everywhere, and scorching flames burned everywhere.
With the two experts attacking with all their might, the Origin Energy Bead could no longer hold on and quickly retreated.
Su Yin continued to complete the score. With a flick of his sword, the Human Emperor's sword Qi spread out.
The True Dragon Sword had reached peak Rank 6, and it could already withstand the sword Qi formed by the fusion of thirty-six Great Daos. With a howl, it chopped down. The three experts did not dare to face it head-on and could only choose to retreat.
"Phoenix Emperor, come here!"
Knowing that this was the best opportunity, Su Yin shouted.
"Alright!" Without the pressure of so many powerful beings, how could the Phoenix Thearch dare to stay any longer? He charged straight toward the planet that the young man was on. The moment he landed, he saw Su Yin sound the last syllable of the Dragon Phoenix Match.
Weng!
With a soft buzz, a spatial gate appeared before them. A strong suction force swallowed them up.
Feeling his body being pulled into another space, Su Yin knew that the time had come. With a thought, the Origin Energy Bead flew over.
Boom!
It smashed heavily on the star beneath his feet.
This weapon was already at pinnacle Grade-7, and it had been infused with the Myriad Dragon Battle Armor, making it incredibly sharp. As it swung down with its full might, the planet beneath was unable to withstand its might. Cracks began to appear on it, and with a loud boom, it shattered into countless fragments.
Hu!
After doing all of this, the Origin Energy Bead returned to Su Yin's glabella. The human and phoenix had already vanished from the spot, as if they had never appeared in the first place.
"You …"
Recovering from the pressure of the sword Qi, the Golden Crow, Yama, and the others felt their vision turning dark. They could not help but spurt blood.
They had seen the other party's actions. He had used the star to play a piece of music in order to open up a passageway for them to leave … But now that the star had been shattered, how was he supposed to play a piece of music?
If he could not play a piece of music, did that mean that they would never be able to find the spatial gate and would be trapped here forever?
To do something so immoral in such a short period of time, that fellow must be a demon!
"Dragon Emperor, is there any way to clear this trial and enter the next one?"
Xue Qianqiu was so furious that he could explode on the spot. However, he also knew that it was impossible for them to enter the next realm without opening the passageway.
The Golden Crow and Yama also turned their gazes over.
This was the celestial palace left behind by their Dragon Ancestor. There was bound to be a backup plan.
"Pu!"
Instead of answering Zhang Xuan's question, the Dragon Emperor spurted a mouthful of blood.
“？？？”
The three experts were frenzied.
Was he doing this on purpose?
It was true that he had been injured by the Origin Energy Bead, but surely he should not have looked like he was on the verge of death!
"I am severely injured. If you want me to open the passageway, you'll have to find a way to help me recover," the Dragon Emperor said weakly.
"You …"
The Golden Crow and the others trembled in rage, but there was nothing they could do.
It was a fact that the other party was injured. Opening the passageway would consume a lot of energy, so it was not impossible for him to fail. They could only say that they were simply too unlucky.
They had not even seen any treasures, and yet, they had been forced to take advantage of the other party just because of the other party's injury.
What a sin!
"I have a Demon Heart Pill here. I obtained it from the Sea of Inner Demons. Not only will it heal your injuries, it will also grant you the strength of a demonic dragon."
Seeing the troubled looks on the faces of the Golden Crow and Yama, Xue Qianqiu walked over.
It was a powerful artifact on par with the Solar Trueflame Pill.
"Alright!"
The Dragon Emperor swallowed the pill.
In an instant, demonic aura reverberated within his body. The Dragon Emperor reverted back to his original form and soared in the sky, releasing a resounding dragon's roar.
The golden scales on his body had turned slightly black, and his defensive prowess had become stronger as well.
Even though he had lost the Myriad Dragon Battle Armor, his fighting prowess had risen significantly after consuming three different treasures.
"Can we open the passageway now?"
Seeing that the Dragon Emperor's cultivation had improved even further after assimilating the Demon Heart Pill, Xue Qianqiu harrumphed coldly.
The Dragon Emperor turned back to his human form and said, "This trial is about the flute. Even though the stars have exploded, as long as we can find an artifact that imitates the tune of the stars, we'll be able to open the passageway!"
"This … Do any of you have such an artifact?"
The Golden Crow asked.
"…" The crowd glanced at one another.
One was the Golden Crow, who only knew how to carry the sun. The other was the Yama King, who only knew how to kill and capture the souls of living beings. The last was Xue Qianqiu, who appeared to be an elegant gentleman, but in truth, he didn't know much about the path of entertainment.
"I don't have one either …" The Dragon Emperor shook his head.
Without a musical instrument, what was the difference between this trial and the previous one?
The Golden Crow pondered for a moment before saying, "The tune of the stars that Su Yin blew up is very high, and it's very similar to Qianqiu's voice. I think that you should be able to imitate it …"
"…" Xue Qianqiu spurted a mouthful of blood.
I had no choice but to castrate myself, and my voice became thin. To think that you would use me as a musical instrument … That's too much!
"That's our only choice. Qianqiu, you won't reject our request, right?"
The Yama nodded. "If you don't agree to it, we won't be able to catch up to Su Yin. It'll be impossible for us to kill him then!"
"Alright! As long as we can kill Su Yin, everything is negotiable! "
Exhaling deeply, Xue Qianqiu gritted his teeth.
This was all for vengeance.
After making the necessary preparations, Xue Qianqiu walked up to the destroyed star. Every time the Dragon Emperor leaped onto his head, he would shout …
After more than ten minutes of experimenting, they finally managed to draw the passageway toward them once more.
"Let's go!"
The group dived into the passageway.
…
…
Walking through the passageway, a simple building appeared before their eyes.
It didn't have the extravagance of a royal palace. Instead, it had the simplicity of an ordinary residence.
Stone table, stone platform, stone chair, and stone bed.
Under a wutong tree, a phoenix sat upright in its original position. Its life had long since dissipated, and its corpse had been preserved here for who knew how many years. Not only did it not decay, it was instead glistening with radiance, like a rainbow cloud drifting in the horizon.
There were eight crimson feathers on its head, and each of them pierced through space.
"It's … It's Princess Nongyu!" The Phoenix Monarch's face reddened in agitation.
Their Phoenix Ancestor had nine feathers on its head. After Xiao Wu's breakthrough, he had six feathers on his head. On the other hand, Princess Nongyu had eight feathers. Needless to say, her bloodline was purer.
Su Yin nodded. "This corpse isn't petrified. We can think of a way to refine it …"
The Phoenix Ancestor's corpse he saw in the Phoenix Domain had already been petrified, and it was connected to the stone. Refining it would be useless. However, this was different. Its blood essence and energy were still in its body. Just like the Sword Saint's corpse, once it was refined, Xiao Wu would definitely be able to break through the shackles of grade-6 and reach the Precepts Realm!
In fact, the Phoenix Monarch might stand a chance as well!
In other words, the Human Emperor Sacred Ground might have two more Precepts Realm experts with greater combat prowess!
The Phoenix Monarch nodded and flew toward the Parasol Tree. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Zhang Xuan and frowned. "Something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
Su Yin followed him.
The Phoenix Monarch said, "As an Phoenix, even if it's dead, there should be Immortal Flames burning in its body. Even from afar, I can feel the heat. Why … is there no energy around her body?"
Su Yin was taken aback.
Even if a Sage was dead, with the abundance of Great Dao, it was still not something that anyone could violate. It was just like the Sword Saint's corpse. One would be blinded just by looking at it.
This Princess Nongyu was a true Precepts Realm expert. She was stronger than Su Yin. Even if she was dead, with the support of her bloodline power, it would be difficult for a grade-6 Sage to get close. However, they were less than three meters away from her, and they did not feel any pressure at all …
Clearly, something was wrong.
With a thought, Su Yin extended the Human Emperor's Sword Qi toward the corpse in front of him.
This was a provocation.
Even if a Sage was dead, his corpse would have self-defense against all external forces that wanted to cause trouble for him. He deliberately extended the Human Emperor's Sword Qi to see the other party's reaction to determine what was going on.
Whoosh!
The sword qi landed on Princess Nongyu's body and came into contact with her feathers.
"There's no repulsive force at all?" Su Yin frowned.
He was already in this state. Even if it was a corpse, it should have resisted!
"No … Come over here!"
At this moment, a nervous voice sounded.
Su Yin looked up and saw the Phoenix Monarch standing behind Princess Nongyu's corpse. He seemed to have seen something, and his body was trembling non-stop.
