Chapter 225: Lost Phoenix Valley

Each floor of the tower was like its own separate world. As one went deeper inside, the separate worlds became increasingly vast.

The seventh floor of the tower was a mountain that hovered in the sky countless meters above the ground. When looking downward, one could only see a boundless sea of clouds like a big white dragon tumbling around.

This mountain stretched for nine thousand miles. Dangerous steep peaks drilled into the blue sky. Cypress trees as big as dragons grew on this land of straight precipices as if they were about to fall into the sea of clouds and down into the mortal world.

In the far distance, a thin layer of mist bathed a particular spiritual peak. White cranes around three feet tall soared into the sky and dived down into the lush vegetation on the peak.

This was a scene in the land of the immortals; it was as if this mountain was from another world.

Feng Feiyun followed the girl in black walking through this peak. Along the way, they found several ancient traces of life. An old, rusting greatsword could be found pierced in a cliff. There were extremely gigantic chess boards suspended above the peak. All of this made it too clear; this used to be a place for cultivation, but it has now become deserted.

The girl in black entered a desolate valley full of dense fog and rich worldly energy, making it seem as if this was the secret dwelling of a deity.

The girl became much more cautious after entering, and her pace slowed down by quite a bit as well. Feng Feiyun also felt that there was a vast yet faint aura inside, an aura that carried a trace of harshness as if they were entering a land of the dead.

“Whoosh!” A weeping gust came from within the valley as if it was the cry of a beast.

Feng Feiyun quietly gasped and suddenly stopped. The wind blew away a layer of mud on the ground to reveal a piece of crimson bone the size of a palm.

This bone was as red as blood and had a thin layer of light flowing on the outside. Upon closer inspection, it was as tough as a divine stone.

Although it was only protruding a bit above ground, the aura erupted from it was extremely hot, causing the surrounding temperature to slowly rise.

The girl in front also felt that something was amiss and immediately turned around to gaze at this crimson bone on the ground.

“Phoenix’s bones!” Feng Feiyun felt his own bones tremble as if he was feeling the pain of kin.

“The name of this place is Lost Phoenix Valley. A phoenix had died here as its blood stained the entire area. It is normal for some bones to be lying around.” The girl in black casually said.

Even a phoenix had fallen here. It was clear that an earth-shaking event had occurred here, but the girl didn’t want to tell Feng Feiyun lest he opts out in fear.

“Do not touch that phoenix bone. Its temperature is frightening and will turn you into ashes once touched.” The girl reminded him.

She also didn’t dare to do so since she couldn’t withstand the heat either.

Much to her amazement, Feng Feiyun picked up the bone around the size of a palm from the ground then cleaned the mud off of it before putting it into his spatial bag.

The girl in black’s jaws almost dropped to the ground as she stared at him and said: “You drank phoenix blood before?”

“Never.” Feng Feiyun’s heart was heavy. A senior phoenix had fallen here, leaving him with an indescribable feeling. The name of this valley was Lost Phoenix Valley, and there was an invisible force that restrained all phoenixes in this location.

The girl frowned and felt a bit puzzled, but she didn’t pry any further and pressed deeper into the valley. The ground became redder as they infiltrated this area. Sharp and dazzling glints shot out from the air like heavenly blades; if one wasn’t careful, these lights would rupture their skin.

Lost Phoenix Valley — these three words were carved on a shattered monolith by using the blood of a phoenix. It was twisted in a strange fashion and was as pretty as flames.

“We are here!” The girl stopped right outside of a cave shrouded in thick, black fog while cautiously gazing inside.

She stood there with a cold and serious vibe. The black dress on her body was fluttering from the cold chill that emanated from within the cave and completely sketched out her wondrous body.

The corpse palace inside Feng Feiyun’s dantian also shook. The power of the Good Corpse from inside erupted and filled Feng Feiyun’s body. This power was holy and pure, resulting in a sacred white light enveloping his body.

The girl in black slowly reached out with her slender arm, and a claw came out from her hand. This was formed from spiritual light, and it explored the cave.

“Boom!” Suddenly, a terrifying wave from inside the quiet cave shattered the girl in black’s scouting claw.

“The Self is dead yet it is still so powerful!” The girl took two steps backward and scowled. She then directly turned into a black ray and rushed into the cave.

Feng Feiyun didn’t follow along and stood guard outside instead.
