Chapter 627 A Spring of Spiritual Water
In ancient Earth, tens of thousands of years ago, humans were merely one group among lower animals, completely insignificant!
The Phoenix Clan was the greatest clan on Earth at that time! The Divine Phoenix was the lord of all spirits!
Before the vast and powerful Phoenix Clan, humans at that time didn’t even qualify as an ant colony!
This was why Vermilion Bird had such a strong reaction.
How could the legacy left by the Divine Phoenix possibly choose a human as its inheritor?
“It can’t possibly be that human. Think carefully again! Could there be another being of our kind…” Vermilion Bird asked.
Red Lotus didn’t doubt Red Lotus’s words and also believed that Fang Yu, being human, had no connection to the Phoenix Clan.
But when she touched the ancestor’s remains and opened the Spirit Realm, the person closest to her was indeed only Fang Yu!
If she were to consider everyone around her at that time, there were too many people.
After all, it happened in a museum with so many tourists nearby, and even a security guard running toward her…
But ultimately, no matter how many people were around, they were all humans.
If there truly was a fellow clan member nearby, how could Red Lotus not have sensed it?
“Ancestor Vermilion Bird, I really can’t think of anyone else…” After recalling for a long time, Red Lotus shook her head and said.
Vermilion Bird stared at Red Lotus, the pair of crimson flame wings on its back fluttering slightly, showing great anxiety.
The Divine Phoenix’s legacy had already been summoned out of its body.
And the half belonging to Huang, the female part, had already fallen upon Red Lotus’s head, choosing her as the inheritor.
But the other half, belonging to Feng, the male part, still hung high in the air.
This indicated that the inheritor of Feng had not yet arrived.
As twins, the Phoenix’s legacy clearly required both male and female inheritances to proceed simultaneously!
But now, even the identity and location of the other inheritor remained unclear!
As a result, the inheritance process had come to a halt!
For Vermilion Bird, this was absolutely terrible news.
As a being that should have perished long ago, it had managed to survive in the Spirit Realm for so long because of a decree left by the Divine Phoenix.
This decree had forcibly extended its life until today.
In other words, Vermilion Bird had waited lonely in the Spirit Realm for over ten thousand years, just for this moment of legacy transfer!
The inheritance absolutely could not go wrong!
“Spirit Realm, Spirit Realm… Since the Spirit Realm could be opened, both inheritors must have already entered the Spirit Realm. I just need to search the entire Spirit Realm for beings that match the inheritance qualities…”
Vermilion Bird immediately deployed its divine consciousness, covering the entire Spirit Realm.
…
Two figures appeared at the cave entrance outside the Spirit Realm.
“Senior Brother, after coming in, the spiritual energy has become even more abundant,” Chen Mu said with extreme excitement.
Beside him, Zhen Yun’s face also broke into a smile.
This kind of place was likely the remnant of an ancient powerful being, and must contain many treasures.
They came looking for Spirit Core Stones but stumbled upon this place by accident. Their luck couldn’t be better.
“Chen Mu, do you think… we should call our junior brothers and sisters over? We should take away as many treasures from here as possible!” Zhen Yun said with greedy eyes.
“I think… we should first understand the situation here, then notify them later,” Chen Mu said after a moment of hesitation.
“Then let’s go in. There should be quite a few cultivators gathered inside… I can sense their presence.” Zhen Yun’s eyes flashed with cold killing intent as he said with a smirk, “However, the more people the better. They can help us find the good stuff, and then we’ll just take it from them.”
“Mm, let’s go in,” Chen Mu nodded and said.
…
More and more martial artists from outside continued to enter the Spirit Realm.
Those who had entered earlier had already reached deeper positions.
The space inside the Spirit Realm was vast, with many directions to choose from.
Some martial artists chose to keep walking in the same direction, while others turned toward different paths.
However, as they continued forward, the martial artists saw nothing but scenery.
The expected high-grade magical tools, thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, or high-level spirit beasts… none appeared.
But the spiritual energy throughout the Spirit Realm remained dense.
It was this spiritual energy that gave the group of martial artists great confidence to continue their search.
Among the many martial artists, the four who had advanced the fastest arrived at a spring.
They had walked for nearly half an hour before reaching this place.
The spring ahead seemed to be the end point in this direction.
This was because the spring was surrounded by towering rock mountains on three sides.
“Sigh, we went the wrong way. We can’t go any further,” one martial artist said dejectedly.
“I told you so! At that fork earlier, we should have kept going in the original direction, but you insisted on turning! Now look what happened!” another martial artist complained.
“Why are you all so dejected? Go up and take a look! What if treasures are hidden in the spring?”
A younger martial artist walked directly toward the spring.
The water was incredibly clear. Standing on the shore and looking down, everything in the spring was visible.
“See! There’s absolutely nothing! We walked all this way for nothing!”
The three martial artists who followed from behind became even more discouraged after seeing the clean spring.
The young martial artist also sighed.
They had indeed gone the wrong way.
If they were to go back now and choose another path, even if there were good treasures, they would probably have been taken by other martial artists.
“Looks like we’re not that lucky. Let’s accept our fate. I’m exhausted, let me drink some water first.”
A bald middle-aged martial artist walked to the spring, squatted down, scooped up some water with both hands, and drank it.
After drinking this mouthful of spring water, the middle-aged martial artist’s expression suddenly changed.
“Bang!”
A burst of true energy exploded from his body!
“What’s happening!?”
The three martial artists beside him all looked at the middle-aged martial artist.
The middle-aged martial artist’s eyes were wide open, filled with excitement. He turned to look at the three martial artists and said with a trembling voice: “I, I broke through! I successfully broke through to the Master realm!”
“What!?”
The other three martial artists all changed their expressions.
This middle-aged martial artist had only drunk a mouthful of spring water, how did he suddenly break through?
They had never heard that drinking water could lead to a breakthrough!
“It’s true! You all know I’ve been stuck at the Innate realm twelfth layer bottleneck for a long time… Just now, when I drank a mouthful of spring water, I felt a pure spiritual energy rushing through the meridians in my body… and then I broke through to the Master realm!” The middle-aged martial artist was so excited that his eyes turned red.
He didn’t care whether his three companions believed him or not. He turned around, looked at the clear spring water in front of him, and without hesitation, plunged his entire head into the spring water, greedily drinking.
Seeing his behavior, the other three martial artists looked at each other.
“His aura does seem to have reached the Master realm… it wasn’t like that just now…” the young martial artist said with wide eyes.
“What are we waiting for then! Hurry and drink the spring water!”
Then, the three martial artists rushed to the spring like hungry wolves pouncing on food, imitating the middle-aged martial artist by burying their heads in the spring water and drinking large gulps.
As they drank the spring water, the aura around all four of them rapidly increased.
…
In the Spirit Realm, many martial artists were on the move.
But even the fastest martial artists had only reached the central area of the Spirit Realm.
The only ones who had reached the deeper parts of the Spirit Realm were Minghe and Han Meiren.
At this moment, the two increased their speed, passed through a dense forest, and arrived at an even more spacious location.
Looking into the distance from here, they could see mountains one after another, endless mountain ranges, and lingering mist and clouds.
Among the many mountains, one particularly stood out.
This mountain was extremely tall, located at the farthest point of vision, soaring into the clouds, with even its middle section barely visible.
Minghe and Han Meiren looked at this tall mountain in the distance, and a gleam flashed in both their eyes.
As high-level guardians, their sensory abilities were extremely powerful.
Although they were far away and the surrounding spiritual energy was already at its peak density, they could still sense that from the top of that impossibly tall mountain came an even stronger aura.
“The Phoenix Clan being we saw at the cave entrance is very likely up there,” Minghe said, narrowing his eyes.
