Chapter 626 Phoenix Inheritance!
“The Soul Stone… has been transferred to Baotian City,” Chenmu said with a surprised expression.
“How is that possible? Just half an hour ago, the Soul Tracking Map showed the Soul Stone was in Jiangcheng. How did it get back to Baotian City where we stayed before? Could there be an error?” Zhenyun asked with a gloomy face.
If the Soul Tracking Map had a problem, that was the last thing he wanted to see.
They were just one Soul Stone away from completion!
This also represented the final step in their Purple Flame Palace’s revenge plan!
At this critical moment, there absolutely couldn’t be any accidents, otherwise they would have no idea how to find the last Soul Stone!
“There shouldn’t be an error… the Soul Stone is currently in Baotian City,” Chenmu said.
Zhenyun glanced at Chenmu and said, “Then we’ll return to Baotian City immediately!”
“Yes,” Chenmu nodded.
About five minutes later, the two returned to Baotian City through a teleportation array.
As soon as they steadied themselves, Chenmu wasted no time taking out the Soul Tracking Map, immediately activating it to track the Soul Stone’s location again.
This time, the map quickly showed the location.
After comparing it with a map, they confirmed the position.
Baotian Museum!
Chenmu and Zhenyun exchanged a glance, then rushed together toward Baotian Museum.
Along the way, Zhenyun moved extremely fast.
At this moment, his mind was focused solely on that Soul Stone!
Once they obtained the final Soul Stone, Senior Brother Jiangdao’s soul would be complete, allowing him to match that supreme magical artifact!
The revenge and revival of Purple Flame Palace would be swiftly accomplished!
The two unleashed their true energy, reaching maximum speed, and quickly arrived at the Baotian Museum, which was now a pile of ruins.
Seeing the scene before them, both were stunned.
But soon, they sensed the powerful true energy emanating from underground and discovered the hole in the middle of the ruins.
“Senior Brother Zhenyun, the Soul Stone should be down there…” Chenmu said.
“Let’s go in! The spiritual energy is so rich down there, there might be other treasures too!” Zhenyun said excitedly.
With that, Zhenyun jumped straight down.
As for Chenmu, he hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed and jumped down.
…
“More and more auras are appearing; those martial artists outside are moving quite fast,” Hanmei and Minghe were walking along a stream.
Through their divine sense, they believed the end of this stream might be the source of the spiritual energy.
“Just a bunch of ants. Their presence won’t affect anything,” Minghe said coldly.
“I just wonder if we should speed up a bit? That phoenix creature we saw earlier probably flew back to the deepest nest,” Hanmei said.
“Have you forgotten the previous lesson? This place contains some kind of will. If we’re too hasty, we might trigger prohibitions and suffer losses,” Minghe said gravely.
“Big Brother Ming is right,” Hanmei giggled. “We indeed don’t need to rush, since we have no real competition anyway.”
…
In the deepest part of the Spirit Ruins.
Here stood an extremely tall mountain, reaching into the clouds.
Above the thick cloud layer was the mountain peak.
On the peak was a dilapidated palace.
This palace was different from human palaces, with a scale at least ten times larger than any human palace!
As for the facilities inside the palace, they were basically similar to those in human palaces.
At this moment, on the high platform of the palace stood a phoenix creature with its body completely engulfed in flames.
And before it stood a figure.
It was Honglian!
Currently, Honglian’s pupils burned with crimson flames, and feathers had grown on her face and limbs.
“This place is the Phoenix Divine Palace, where the Divine Lord Phoenix once held court,” the phoenix creature said.
“Divine Lord Phoenix…” Although Honglian was a member of the phoenix race, she knew very little about phoenixes, having only heard bits of information from her mother.
“Our Divine Lord was once the ruler of all races! It was under their leadership that our phoenix race became the master of all beings!” the phoenix creature said excitedly.
“Their?” Honglian was startled.
“As a member of the phoenix race, you don’t know that the Divine Lord was a twin? Feng is male, Huang is female,” the phoenix creature asked in surprise.
“I, I really didn’t know…” Honglian lowered her head in shame.
She was born in an era when the phoenix race had declined to near extinction, and knew nothing about the history of the phoenix race.
Even her mother only had fragmentary knowledge about the phoenix race’s past and never mentioned what kind of being the Divine Lord Phoenix actually was.
“It’s not your fault, after all, the Divine Lord left Earth ten thousand years ago…” the phoenix creature said.
“May I ask, ancestor… which clan are you from?” Honglian asked.
“I am from the Vermilion Bird clan, a direct descendant of the Divine Lord Phoenix,” the phoenix creature answered.
Vermilion Bird clan!
Honglian was shocked.
She had heard her mother mention the Vermilion Bird clan and knew about their close relationship with the phoenix.
However, she had heard that the Vermilion Bird clan was the first group of the phoenix race to disappear.
Shortly after the phoenix left, the Vermilion Bird clan also vanished without a trace.
She never imagined she would meet an ancestor of the Vermilion Bird clan today!
“An-ancestor… I want to know…” When she realized the ancestor before her was a Vermilion Bird, Honglian’s voice began to tremble.
But just then, the Vermilion Bird suddenly turned its head to look in another direction.
“The opening of the Spirit Ruins has indeed attracted many presumptuous pests…” the Vermilion Bird said in a low voice.
“Someone’s coming?” Honglian’s expression changed as she asked.
“Yes, and quite a few of them,” the Vermilion Bird said, turning around. “Since that’s the case, let’s begin quickly.”
“Begin? Begin what?” Honglian asked in confusion.
“The inheritance. You are from the Azure Phoenix clan and successfully opened the Spirit Ruins. This means you are the descendant chosen by the Divine Lord. Our phoenix race’s inheritance, passed down for ten thousand years, should naturally fall to you,” the Vermilion Bird said.
“Inheritance!? The, the phoenix inheritance…” Honglian’s heart pounded violently as she exclaimed.
“I know you have many questions, but perhaps all your doubts will be answered after you receive the inheritance. Time is short, let’s begin quickly,” the Vermilion Bird said. “The reason I have survived until today is because of a decree left by the Divine Lord. Once I complete this decree, I will dissipate.”
“I, I…” Honglian had many things she wanted to say but didn’t know where to begin.
“The Azure Phoenix clan is a branch of the Vermilion Bird clan, possessing seventy percent of the Divine Lord’s bloodline. You are qualified to inherit the phoenix legacy,” the Vermilion Bird said.
As it spoke, the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings and flew into the air.
It opened its mouth and spat out a fireball burning with crimson flames.
The fireball floated in the air, then suddenly split into two halves!
One half fell onto Honglian’s head.
The other half remained floating in the air, motionless.
Seeing this, the Vermilion Bird was clearly stunned for a moment.
“Right, the Divine Lord was a twin, so the inheritance must be shared by both male and female…”
The Vermilion Bird looked down at Honglian and asked, “Do you have any siblings who entered the Spirit Ruins with you?”
“…No,” Honglian shook her head.
“No!? How is that possible?” the Vermilion Bird exclaimed in shock. “Unless suitable inheritors appear, the Spirit Ruins couldn’t possibly open! The Divine Lord would never make such a mistake!”
“Since the Spirit Ruins have opened, it means that both inheritors must have entered the Spirit Ruins!”
“Besides you, there must be another inheritor within the Spirit Ruins!”
“But…” Honglian was completely confused, not understanding the situation.
“Think carefully again, do you have any siblings? Or were there any other phoenix beings who entered the Spirit Ruins with you?” the Vermilion Bird asked.
Honglian’s siblings had almost all been killed by the Source Devourers.
She had no siblings left.
As for other phoenix beings entering the Spirit Ruins with her, that was even more impossible.
“This… wait! When you opened the Spirit Ruins, were there any other beings present!?” the Vermilion Bird pressed.
Honglian frowned deeply, trying to remember carefully.
When she opened the Spirit Ruins, that is, when she felt the call and involuntarily reached out to touch the ancestral fossil.
At that time, the person closest to her… was Fangyu!
Could it be…
“I, I remember now! There was a human standing behind me at that time, his name is Fangyu!” Honglian answered.
“A human? That’s impossible! How could the Divine Lord choose a human as an inheritor!?” the Vermilion Bird exclaimed in shock.
