Daily Intelligence: Start by Obtaining the Sword Saint's Legacy

163: A thief never leaves empty-handed!”Then why were we able to come in?”

The Moon Demon was momentarily speechless.

”Perhaps it’s because we’re with this little girl!”

Two people, a cat, and a dog stood inside the true Divine Phoenix Ruins.

Looking at the scene before them.

Their faces were filled with shock.

”I didn’t expect the Legacy site of the Divine Phoenix Lineage to be so massive!”

The Moon Demon chuckled coldly.

”What did you think? During the ancient era, the Divine Phoenix Lineage was a top-tier clan, an overlord-level existence that swept across the Five Continents.”

”Unfortunately, prosperity leads to decline. Too much of a good thing is just as bad as not enough.”

”No matter how glorious a Family is, they will eventually fall into ruin until their Bloodline withers away.”

The Moon Demon’s words seemed to be stating a fact.

But also seemed to be a sigh of lament.

Chen Xian looked up the steps toward the main hall ahead.

He was about to lead Zhou Duoer over, but was stopped by an invisible force.

He beckoned to Zhou Duoer.

Zhou Duoer ran over.

”Young Lord!”

”There is an Opportunity for you ahead. Go see what it is yourself. Remember, prioritize your own safety above all else!”

Hearing this, Zhou Duoer subconsciously asked, ”Isn’t the Young Lord coming with me?”

She was accustomed to relying on her Young Lord for everything.

Chen Xian shook his head.

”I won’t be going.”

”But I will wait for you here.”

Hearing Chen Xian’s words.

Zhou Duoer felt a bit comforted.

”Alright then, Young Lord, I’ll be back soon!”

Chen Xian opened his mouth to speak but ultimately said nothing.

He patted Zhou Duoer’s head.

”Go on! I’ll wait for you here!”

Only then did Zhou Duoer hurry inside.

The Moon Demon stood on Chen Xian’s shoulder.

”Why didn’t you give her some advice?”

Chen Xian shook his head.

”Once inside, everything depends on fate.”

”If she is fated, she will naturally obtain the Legacy of the Divine Phoenix Lineage.”

”If not, with the Fearless Sword Technique I taught her in the Sword Tomb, she’ll still be a female Sword Cultivator of decent strength!”

”Tsk tsk, you really do care about this little girl!”

Chen Xian gave a fond, knowing smile.

”Since she is my maidservant, I naturally want her to become the strongest maidservant!”

Of course, he wouldn’t tell the Moon Demon.

This girl had the potential of a Great Emperor!

While the two of them were talking.

Zhou Duoer had already entered the main hall.

The hall was filled with soul lamps, every single one extinguished, but the names beneath the soul lamps were all extraordinary.

Zhou Duoer naturally didn’t know that if Chen Xian and the Moon Demon saw this, they would be shocked beyond measure.

Because almost every name beneath the soul lamps belonged to someone above the Quasi-Saint level.

Just as Zhou Duoer was dazed, a phantom suddenly appeared in front of her.

”A descendant of the Divine Phoenix Clan?”

Zhou Duoer looked completely bewildered.

Before she could speak, the phantom said excitedly, ”An extraordinary skeletal structure, someone of great potential!”

”This old man will pass everything of the Divine Phoenix Clan to you. However, you must promise me one thing!”

A hint of wariness appeared on Zhou Duoer’s face.

After all, the Young Lord had taught her that there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

”What is it?”

”The Divine Phoenix Clan suffered a heavenly punishment in ancient times, and the clan’s mighty experts withered away one after another. I want you to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Divine Phoenix Clan!”

Zhou Duoer said hesitantly, ”Ah? Can I really do it?”

”How am I supposed to revive it?”

Although she wasn’t old, being around two ”thousand-year-old foxes” like Chen Xian and the Moon Demon...

...she had absorbed quite a bit of social experience.

For instance, if she were to rashly agree to something like this...

...and it turned out to be a massive pitfall she couldn’t possibly fulfill, she’d be in trouble.

So, Zhou Duoer intended to clarify things beforehand.

”Reviving the Divine Phoenix Clan is simple! You only need to do one thing!”

”Spread the Family foliage!”

The elderly phantom said urgently, ”As long as the number of members in the Divine Phoenix Clan increases, it will surely soar again!”

”Then, our clan can be passed down for ten thousand generations.”

”Me? Spread the Family foliage?”

Zhou Duoer naturally knew what that term meant.

However, as she thought about what the old man said...

...her mind was filled with scenes of marrying Chen Xian and having children.

No, Zhou Duoer, how old are you? You can’t think like that!

Despite this, Zhou Duoer still nodded and agreed.

”I promise!”

”Good. In that case, the Legacy of the Divine Phoenix Clan is yours.”

After all, only those of the Divine Phoenix Clan could enter.

The old man didn’t doubt her at all and simply flicked his finger.

Zhou Duoer only felt a massive amount of information appear in her mind—the Divine Phoenix Scripture.

She was about to speak.

Only to find that the phantom before her had already disappeared.

She looked around.

Tsk!

”The Young Lord said a thief never leaves empty-handed!”

She looked at the empty hall.

Until her gaze fell upon the soul lamps in the hall!

Saying nothing, she just started taking them!

Meanwhile.

Chen Xian sat on the steps, looking at the System panel in front of him.

[Ding! Daily Intelligence has been refreshed!]

[Daily Intelligence 1: The barriers between the five major regions of the Shanhai Secret Realm have all been cleared!]

Holy crap?

He knew that the Shanhai Secret Realm was a single entity.

The five major regions were nothing more than additions by the powerhouses of the Five Great Continents to distribute the various prodigies and prevent everyone from dying at once.

But he didn’t expect the barriers to actually break.

Who did this?

He scratched his head.

He continued reading.

[Daily Intelligence 2: In fifteen minutes, more than two thousand prodigies will appear here!]

Damn!

More than two thousand prodigies are coming here!

What are they trying to do?

He didn’t believe this was a coincidence.

[Daily Intelligence 3: The White Flame Demonic Phoenix was wiped out by a Quasi-Saint with a flick of a finger; the corpse is on the Falling Phoenix Slope on the way back!]

The White Flame Demonic Phoenix, if he remembered correctly, was a Soul Transformation Stage Yao Beast.

To think it was destroyed by a Quasi-Saint in the blink of an eye!

However, Chen Xian soon stroked his chin, his mind racing.

Then, couldn’t it be said that he could take that White Flame Demonic Phoenix with him when they headed back in a bit?

Even if it’s dead, isn’t every part of it a treasure?

Just like that, he would plan out the route for when they left in a bit.

Chen Xian looked at the map of the Shanhai Secret Realm, everything clear in his mind.

Now everything was ready, all that was needed was the finishing touch.

Until seven and a half minutes later.

Zhou Duoer finally walked out excitedly.

At the same time, the illusion around them gradually dissipated, and they returned to that dilapidated main hall.

”Young Lord, I...”

”Did you get the Legacy?”

Seeing Chen Xian’s hurried manner, Zhou Duoer nodded subconsciously.

”Let’s go!”

”Big Yellow, go go go!”

Chen Xian grabbed Zhou Duoer and fled for their lives!

Big Yellow followed closely behind.

The Moon Demon gripped Chen Xian’s shoulder tightly, acting as his eyes.

”Leaving so fast? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?”

Chen Xian said urgently, ”Hurry, someone is chasing us!”

The Moon Demon rolled its eyes.

”Stop your alarmist talk!”

”If you don’t believe me, look back!”

The Moon Demon looked back, and its originally dull cat eyes suddenly widened.

Looking at the dense crowd of people in mid-air.

It stammered, ”Holy crap! Where did all these people come from?”
