942: Chapter 265 Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique_2 942: Chapter 265 Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique_2 The third layer’s challenge, he admitted defeat…
As Su He landed on the ground and blinked his eyes, a flash of insight crossed his mind, and he suddenly looked annoyed.
A misstep!
The tomb couldn’t fully simulate even Meng Xiao.
A true Dragon of the Opening Heaven Six-fold was not something that Su He and Ji Feixue could defeat by joining hands at the moment.
The tomb had its limits!
That previous big day—probably was just for show, at most it was comparable to Meng Xiao.
Perhaps if the tomb manifested Meng Xiao, the big day would be weaker.
It’s very likely that if both were concentrated at the same time, neither would reach the level of the prior Azure Dragon.
Su He: “…”
What a billion mistakes!
In an instant, even breathing hurt!
Especially since Instant Brilliance had exhausted all his True Yuan, what sustained him now was a stream of True Yuan from Ji Feixue.
Su He’s heart throbbed as he lay on the ground, retracting his limbs into the turtle shell, his dragon head despondently smashing into the earth.
Ji Feixue steadied herself and looked back, seeing the dispirited Su He outside the portal through the doorway; it seemed this Dragon Turtle couldn’t pass through the portal.
It took only a moment for Ji Feixue to understand the trick to it, and a fleeting smile appeared on her serene face.
But it didn’t matter.
There was more than one tomb here, and if they couldn’t reach the apex of this one due to oversight, then they would simply move on to the next.
Thinking this, she turned to look toward the fourth layer.
The fourth layer was void of anything but a forest, where two phoenixes intertwined as they flew.
A cultivation technique?
With one glance, Ji Feixue knew what this layer required.
The two phoenixes were enacting a cultivation technique that, once comprehended and mastered, would break through the fourth layer and allow ascension to the fifth.
Ji Feixue grew more puzzled.
What was the true purpose of the tomb’s existence?
It felt as if she had already ascended four layers, but it seemed as if the true essence of the first three had been missed.
The Phoenix Clan’s Phoenix Tomb had a great reputation throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, and each grand sacrifice was also the most significant event for the Phoenix Clan, on a par with the Dragon Clan’s Dragon Divine God Sacrifice.
Having fallen out with the Dragon Clan, she didn’t know what the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice was for, but it definitely wasn’t just about bloodline enhancement and treasure hunting.
The Phoenix Tomb was naturally the same.
The Four Spirits Divine God Beasts naturally all had their secrets, the Dragon clan’s Dragon Gate, the Phoenix Clan’s Phoenix Tomb, the Dragon Turtle at Di Mountain, the Kylin…
the Kylin was even more mysterious, with only two members in this era, unseen in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms for tens of thousands of years.
The great tomb of the Phoenix Tomb was certainly related to real secrets of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, not just what was displayed.
The nine layers of the great tomb seemed like child’s play!
Ji Feixue’s mind raced, but her gaze stayed fixed on the two phoenixes, quietly observing and contemplating.
Exhale…
Inhale…
Su He breathed with both his turtle body and snake body; with the disintegration of the Azure Dragon, the dispersed Yuan Qi gathered around, increasing the speed of his True Yuan recovery several-fold!
If such an environment could be moved to the outside world, it would suffice to establish a Cultivation Sacred Land.
A Greater Power could open a sect, pass down teachings, and, with proper development, there might even be a chance to compete with the Ten Major Immortal Doors after tens of thousands of years.
Thinking of sects, Su He couldn’t help but think of the Illusory Snow Gate on the Far North Icefield, which was the legacy he left behind.
Su Huanian had told him about it; after the end of the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, she’d sorted out Illusory Snow Gate’s legacy.
When he returned this time, he might have a chance to take a tour.
The True Martial Divine God Card that had been guarding for thirty million years deserved at least to provide the Illusory Snow Gate with some insurance, a road to Heaven.
Lost in his thoughts, Su He quietly waited for Ji Feixue to finish the challenge.
As he breathed, his True Yuan recovered, and the injuries from the backlash of Hidden Edge also healed completely.
In the forest of the fourth layer, above Ji Feixue’s head floated the Marriage Certificate radiating the primordial Way of Matrimony, with the phoenix dancing in front.
Two streams of air rotated and merged in front of her, gradually coming into her palm.
Ji Feixue opened her eyes, took one last look at the phoenixes, and turned back toward the third layer.
She couldn’t get past the fourth layer.
The technique demonstrated by the two phoenixes was a Dual Cultivation Technique!
Only by comprehending and mastering it could one pass; it was not her way.
Passing back through the portal and returning to the third layer, she saw Su He guarding beside the doorway.
His body flickered with energy, not cultivating the inner world of the Dragon Turtle but rather exploring the Way of Xuanwu and transformation—was he trying to become human?
Transform into human form?
No wonder he was observing her switch between human and dragon forms before.
Was he really trying to learn it covertly?
Was this knowledge not passed down by her future self?
Ji Feixue waited for a while until Su He sensed her presence and woke up.
She then asked, “Do you really want to transform into human form?”
Su He paused, then answered with a smile, “It’s not about wanting or not.
Transforming into human form is the correct way for the Four Sacred Beasts.
It is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
As I cultivate the Cultivation Beast Volume, I’m following the Four Saints Path, and the human form cannot be avoided.”
Ji Feixue nodded.
Su He curiously asked, “You couldn’t get through the fourth layer?”
“I couldn’t.” Ji Feixue replied.
She had comprehended the Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique from those two phoenixes—extremely high in grade and not inferior to the principal cultivation techniques of the top sects in the Mystery Huang World.
It involved not just Dual Cultivation but also combined attacks.
But she had no intention of learning it.
“Then let’s get out of here!
We’ll try another tomb, and along the way, investigate the Netherworld.” Su He didn’t ask Ji Feixue what she had experienced on the fourth layer; she was at a time when pride mattered, and he certainly wouldn’t provoke that Nielin.
Leading the way, they returned to the second layer.
As they entered, they saw the Toad lying complacently in a rocking chair, puffing on a pipe, the embodiment of contentment.
At its side, a fawning fox in humanoid form carefully swung the rocking chair for it.
The respect in its eyes for the Toad was unmistakable.
Beside them was something unclear—either a remnant or a nascent Profound Realm.
It was a mystery how the Toad had fooled this fox, with none of the proud dominance seen in its descendants.
Prime for the swindling.
