Chapter 1054: Chapter 1050: Flame

Beside the page recording the legend of the Phoenix Blood Jade, there were a few sparse words written:

”True Blood?”

”Fake Blood?”

”Phoenix Blood?”

”Dan Wu Blood?”

”Blood that’s not blood?”

Leng Tieya curiously examined these sentences.

It was indeed the handwriting of Senior He Yuan, as his notes on martial arts and cultivation were in the study.

This Senior He actually doubted whether the Phoenix Blood was real and even had specific suspects.

Dan Wu, he knew of this strange bird, different from the legendary Phoenix, as it still exists today.

Its feathers were red as a rosy cloud, and its flight speed was incredibly fast, leaving only a flash of red light as it passed.

It flew swiftly, with an arrogant temperament, residing atop the mountain cliffs, rarely seen.

Its talons could tear through gold and stone, making it the world’s top predator.

However, the differences between the Dan Bird and the Phoenix were enormous; their bloods were worlds apart.

Why did He Yuan suspect it was Dan Bird blood?

Leng Tieya looked for the location stated above, deciding to make the trek himself.

Perhaps there might be clues to the Phoenix Blood Jade.

Since he couldn’t find He Yuan’s aura or clues, he decided to find leads from the Phoenix Blood Jade.

Furthermore, what he truly wanted to find was the Phoenix Blood Jade itself.

...

Chu Liezhao appeared in front of an imposing giant peak, surveying the naked mountain.

The surrounding peaks were lush and green, but only this mountain was barren, not a blade of grass in sight.

The mountain was covered only with a variety of stones.

Oddly shaped, fierce and jagged.

From a distance, it looked like a scar upon the land, giving an unpleasant feeling.

With Super Sense, everything about this bare mountain was clear; there was nothing on it except for a deep pit located at the summit.

If one didn’t climb to the top and move the massive stone aside, they wouldn’t see this pit.

The hundred-meter-deep round pit was as if a hundred-meter-long, ten-meter-diameter cylindrical stone had been removed.

The massive stone at the top perfectly covered the mouth of the pit, making it almost undetectable.

The pit’s walls were smooth as glass, extremely peculiar.

He immediately guessed that it was caused by high temperatures.

A superheated object had bored down rapidly from the summit, creating these smooth rock walls.

It drilled down more than a hundred meters and stopped, forming a round pit, like a stone column pressing a round sphere.

Seeing this, Chu Liezhao inexplicably thought of the Phoenix True Blood.

Could it be that the Phoenix True Blood had such properties?

Could it drill into solid rock, emit ultra-high temperatures, and dig such a deep pit?

He recalled all the ancient texts he had read, and none recorded Phoenix True Blood.

The rock walls inside were not stained with red but were black instead.

More importantly, there was no jade mine either.

He stepped onto the mountain peak.

Slowly pushed the massive stone aside.

Clearly, this massive stone had been moved later, most probably by He Yuan.

Leaping down lightly like floating cotton, at the same time reaching out to stroke the smooth, glass-like rock walls.

Feeling the aura emanating from these walls, he immediately confirmed it might truly be Phoenix True Blood.

This aura involuntarily made him feel vast and profound.

This aura was similar to the Divine Language he had seen.

Does Phoenix True Blood truly exist in this world?

If there is Phoenix True Blood here, could it be that this is the only place in the world?

If that Phoenix bled, would a single drop be all it shed before stopping?

Immediately, he shook his head.

This mountain is so peculiar, clearly influenced by Phoenix True Blood.

While the other peaks were lush and green, doesn’t that indicate they were unaffected?

He pondered, closed his eyes, and unleashed the full extent of Super Sense.

The sensing range of Super Sense rapidly expanded outward, ten miles, twenty miles, thirty miles... a hundred miles... two hundred miles... three hundred miles.

This surprised him.

Unknowingly, the limit of Super Sense’s range of insight had actually reached three hundred miles!

He thought for a moment, drew a Light Gate, and the next moment, he arrived three hundred miles to the east, inspecting again.

The next moment, he appeared three hundred miles to the west of this mountain.

Then to the north, then to the south.

Finally, after dozens of insights, he appeared in front of a small hill.

This small hill was more than two thousand miles from that mountain peak.

The terrain on this side was vastly different from two thousand miles away.

All around was vast sea of sand, with scarce greenery, almost all that met the eye was yellow sands and strange stones.

There were several other small hills surrounding this small hill, with hundreds of similar hills nearby.

He stood in front of this hill because of the unusual interior he discovered.

Within it lies a deep pit, and a passage, as glassy smooth as a mountain peak.

This passage invigorated his spirits.

Yet, he couldn’t feel the Phoenix True Blood; it was simply empty.

If not for Super Sense, it would have been nearly impossible to find this inside the small hill.

Moreover, this place draws little attention, unless one by chance stumbles upon this hill and blasts it open to find the passage beneath.

Over countless ages, this hill has become a barrier at the pit’s entrance.

If the Phoenix True Blood were truly found, he could only marvel at his own luck, and the luck of Li Miaotan.

Without Super Sense, discovering this would be nearly impossible.

Even if someone found this location, they wouldn’t recognize the Phoenix True Blood.

After all, the legend of Phoenix True Blood is obscure and rare.

With this thought, he floated up to the hilltop, closed his eyes.

Using intuition, he sensed for a moment and furrowed his eyebrows.

He felt danger.

Within this vertically smooth passage, danger lurked, threatening death.

Thinking of this, a white light flickered out from his sleeve—it was a delicate and exquisite Flying Knife.

The Flying Knife hovered above his head, lightly trembling, as if a bird eager to take flight.

Chu Liezhao took a deep breath.

The Flying Knife elegantly shot towards the hill, slicing through it as if through tofu, unobstructed, downward.

It reached the vertical pit and without hesitation continued shooting downwards.

Further down, the Flying Knife halted over two hundred meters below.

Through the Flying Knife, he saw the scene beneath.

An enormous cavern appeared, roughly a hundred square meters with a circular shape.

In the middle of the cavern, a flame leapt.

This flame was a colorful spectrum.

The Flying Knife attempted to approach but found itself unable, as an inexplicable force blocked it.

The Flying Knife defiantly pushed forward but was powerless, immobile.

Chu Liezhao frowned.

He felt the burning pain, as if he was enduring the scorching flames himself.

This burning sensation wasn’t physical, but from his spirit and soul.

Could this be the Phoenix True Blood?

If these flames compared to the mild burning sensation at Li Miaotan’s seclusion site, the scorching intensity here vastly overshadowed it.

He endured the pain, concentrating his strength on the Flying Knife.

The Flying Knife suddenly gleamed, attempting to advance but was blocked by an invisible force.

It felt like an ant confronting an elephant.

The burning pain intensified, and the Flying Knife swiftly ascended, distancing itself from the colorful flames.

Ultimately, it returned to the hilltop, hovering above his head.

Involuntarily, he questioned whether this flame was transformed from the Phoenix True Blood.

Thus, he opened a Light Gate and in the next moment appeared at the Twelfth Prince Consort Mansion in Phoenix Imperial City.

Upon his arrival, Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen sensed his presence, hurried over.

Chu Liezhao instructed Li Yuzhen to visit the Imperial Palace to see the Empress.

To have the Empress urge Li Miaotan to conclude her seclusion promptly.

Li Yuzhen agreed with curiosity, heading to the palace to request an audience with the Empress.

Fu Zheng curiously inquired about Chu Liezhao’s reasons.

Chu Liezhao shook his head, telling her not to stay by his side, to go attend to her own matters.

These days, he spent his days at Great Bright Peak, and nights returning to the Prince Consort Mansion.

Fu Zheng reluctantly agreed, departing.

...

At this moment, at the Guest Peak of Star-picking Cliff, Leng Tieya met Hu Yuni and Miao Qingjie again.

Hu Yuni and Miao Qingjie were dressed differently, their expressions relaxed and carefree.

Leng Tieya served them tea, smiling, ”Looks like the relic has been properly arranged?”

Miao Qingjie smiled, ”The relic has been taken over by the Elders; let them research it first, we just have to wait for the good news.”

Leng Tieya asked, ”Can’t we study it together?”

”Our cultivation isn’t enough; to avoid accidents, we should wait a bit.”

”Indeed,” Leng Tieya agreed.

This was a prudent decision.

The relic was extremely dangerous; rash contact could lead to body seizing or worse, death.

Otherwise, he could have already unraveled the relic in his left palm’s Labor Camp point by now.

”The promise to Mr. Sun might take some time to fulfill,” Miao Qingjie spoke apologetically, ”Please stay a little longer, sir.”

Leng Tieya nodded with a smile, ”I’m unattached, it doesn’t matter where I stay.”

”That’s even better,” Miao Qingjie replied with a smile.

Hu Yuni said, ”For your help, our sect must offer some form of recompense.”

”Oh—?” Leng Tieya curiously smiled, ”What kind of recompense?”

He didn’t refuse graciously; Star-picking Cliff is resource-rich and surely has good offerings.

Besides, Star-picking Cliff’s reputation is good, they would surely offer something valuable, not something trivial.
