I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1565: Chapter 1565: Tracing Back to the Source Chapter 1565: Chapter 1565: Tracing Back to the Source Searching for a medium.

It’s simple to say, yet difficult to accomplish.

Everyone knows the method, which involves extracting something like essence from something that has already happened and then locking onto the medium or the summoner by following this essence.

But the difficulty lies in the fact that achieving this depends on the circumstances.

If the opponent’s methods are clever and their realm is high, then it will be difficult.

Conversely, if the person seeking to extract the essence and search for the medium is of a high realm, and possesses transcendent skill in perception and searching, then it will be simple.

Well, to put it simply, being of a high realm in all aspects will do.

Lu Changsheng met these requirements perfectly.

For him, this method was still quite simple.

No sooner said than done.

While maintaining a facade of pain, Lu Changsheng released a strand of Holy Qi undetectable to others.

As fine as a silk thread, this Holy Qi functioned like threading a needle, penetrating into the fiery red column of light at the center of the plaza.

Gradually, it passed through the soul of the divine phoenix in the pillar, without the slightest deviation!

As the Holy Qi penetrated,

The cries of the Divine Phoenix soul grew even sharper!

Both the extent and speed of its wingspread increased noticeably, as if it were struggling in agonizing pain.

Naturally, the waves of fire it unleashed also became violent in an instant, with both their force and power significantly amplified.

This caused the disciples standing around the plaza to be unable to withstand such intense force at the moment; many disciples were directly flung away!

Screams were heard one after another.

Blood spurted from their mouths, scattering across the plaza.

Only a few disciples, such as the rare ones from the inner circle, were able to keep their footing.

One after another, elders appeared in the plaza.

With earnest expressions, they watched the scene and anxiously inquired, “What’s happening? Why has the Phoenix soul suddenly turned violent?”

“Now is not the time to investigate the reasons!” one of the senior elders exclaimed as he cut open his palm and smeared the blood across his forehead. Immediately, lines of flames spread from his forehead throughout his body.

Red feathers on his body began to swell.

“The power of these firewaves is still intensifying. Resist with full strength, or else a majority of the disciples present will perish!”

Such losses were unbearable for the Fengming Sect.

It must be understood that the disciples standing here made up all the inner sect disciples and personal disciples of the Fengming Sect.

Hearing this, the other elders understood as well; they transformed into their true forms, doing their utmost to control the spread of these firewaves!

Otherwise, even the cliffs surrounding the area, which absorbed the firewaves, wouldn’t last for too long.

At this moment, a man not far in front of Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian was also sent flying away!

Huang Qian looked left and right, wondering if they should pretend to be affected too.

But seeing that Lu Changsheng was still closing his eyes to search, she decided against it, concluding that it was best not to disturb him in this situation.

However, with Lu Changsheng’s strength, he quickly detected a wisp of essence from within the divine phoenix soul.

This essence was well-concealed.

Lu Changsheng’s Holy Qi strand, much like a spider’s web, hastily enwrapped it, and then wound around this essence to trace it back to its source!

It didn’t take long.

Lu Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward a man standing in the inner circle of the plaza, closest to the soul of the divine phoenix.

He was one of the few disciples who could still withstand the force.

“Is it him?” Huang Qian asked.

Lu Changsheng nodded, “It’s very likely.”

“What shall we do?”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, “Let’s not startle the snake by beating the grass. Let’s see what he wants to do. There are too many people here, but now we have to do something…”

Huang Qian looked slightly startled, “Do what?”

Lu Changsheng did not reply, his actions spoke for him.

He only managed to sustain himself for the duration of three breaths before he let out a painful howl and was flung backwards, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood in mid-air…

Huang Qian: “…”

Did you never consider that I’m a woman? Couldn’t you make it a bit more dignified?

I’m quite reserved too, okay?

But that’s just what I was thinking.

I wrestled with it for a second in my heart and then made the same move as Lu Changsheng.

Although it looked very fake, no one would purposefully pay attention to this detail in such chaotic circumstances.

Huang Qian “coincidentally” landed right next to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng, lying on the ground with his eyes closed and his breath weak, said, “Your acting isn’t even as good as that guy who played basketball.”

Played basketball, what’s that?

Huang Qian was baffled.

“Practice some more when we get back.”

After Lu Changsheng found his target, he withdrew the Holy Qi, and the turbulent soul of the Divine Phoenix gradually calmed down.

However, it took the elder half a day to counter the residual waves of the fire.

Or rather… after half a day had passed, the soul of the Divine Phoenix gradually faded away.

The elders didn’t dare to take any more risks and started sending unconscious disciples out.

Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian, posing as disciples, just happened to live in the same courtyard.

Separated by a single room.

Huang Qian sent a telepathic message: “How much longer do we need to pretend to be unconscious?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve got a handle on their movements. They haven’t left yet, so let’s keep it up for another half a day.”

Huang Qian: “…”

“People have urgent needs.”

“Are you even human…”

Sensing Huang Qian’s killing intent, Lu Changsheng chuckled secretly: “What I mean is, use your cultivation to refine it away.”

Sometimes, what Lu Changsheng said really made Huang Qian have mixed feelings.

When infuriated, she would want to incinerate him with the divine phoenix flames.

Too bad she couldn’t beat him.

…

Soon, night fell.

Lu Changsheng said, “Let’s make our move.”

Huang Qian asked, “Do I need to come along?”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and replied, “Come along. The thing the opponent summoned is related to you, what if we need you?”

So, the two of them took advantage of the cover of night, dressed in night clothes, and left the courtyard.

An incense stick’s time after they left, the man from the daytime arrived at the courtyard, knocked on their room doors, sensed no response yet felt the breath inside, and pushed the door open.

Seeing the two people lying on the bed and sensing their feeble breath, he sighed in relief: “Good, although they’re severely injured, at least their core isn’t damaged.”

And then he quietly left.

Of course, these two were not Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian. In case someone came to check, they had moved the two disciples Lu Changsheng had knocked out into the room.

Since the unconsciousness was real, all they needed to do was tamper with their bodies a bit to make it look like they were seriously injured.

Meanwhile.

Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian had already infiltrated a cave dwelling.

Personal disciples would have their own private cave dwellings.

And the power of the Fire Dao Law in this cave dwelling was even more intense, better suited for the disciples of the Fengming Sect to cultivate.

Lu Changsheng carefully made his way through and, without any real danger, arrived at the depths of the cave dwelling. There, he saw a man sketching something on a scroll.

Beside the scroll lay a yellowed piece of paper.

Lu Changsheng squinted his eyes and immediately his pupils shrank.

Huang Qian frowned as well.

It was indeed a remnant page from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, featuring a drawing of a phoenix.
