Chapter 1052 Flame
Beside the page that records the legend of the Phoenix Blood Jade, a few words are written:

"True blood?"

"Fake blood?"

Phoenix blood?

"Danwu blood?"

"Blood or not blood?"

Leng Tieya looked at these words with surprise.

It was indeed He Yuanzhen's handwriting; there were his martial arts training notes in the study.

This senior He actually doubted whether the phoenix blood was real, and even had a specific target for his suspicion.

He knew about Danwu, this strange bird, which was different from the legendary phoenix and still existed today.

Its feathers were as red as cinnabar, and it flew at an incredible speed, leaving only a flash of red light in its wake.

It flies fast, is proud, and lives on the top of a cliff, rarely seen.

With claws capable of splitting metal and stone, it is the world's top predator.

However, the difference between the Dan bird and the phoenix is ​​enormous; the blood of the Dan bird and the blood of the phoenix are worlds apart.

Why did He Yuanzhen suspect it was the blood of the Dan bird?

Leng Tieya looked up the location and decided to go there himself.

There might be clues about the Phoenix Blood Jade.

Since we can't find He Yuanzhen's aura or clues, let's look for clues from the Phoenix Blood Jade.

Moreover, what he really wanted to find was the Phoenix Blood Jade.

……

Chu Liezhao appeared before a majestic peak, surveying the barren, desolate mountain.

The surrounding mountains are all lush and green, but this mountain is barren and devoid of any vegetation.

The mountain is covered with all sorts of rocks.

It was strangely shaped and fiercely rugged.

From a distance, it resembles a scar on the earth, giving people an unpleasant feeling.

The extrasensory perception had already revealed everything clearly: there was nothing on this barren mountain except for a deep pit located at the top of the mountain.

This deep pit cannot be seen unless you climb to the top of the mountain and move a huge rock.

A circular pit a hundred meters deep, as if a hundred-meter-long, ten-meter-diameter round stone pillar had been removed.

The huge rock at the top of the mountain perfectly blocked the entrance to the round pit, making it almost impossible to spot.

The stone walls of the circular pit are as smooth as glass, which is extremely peculiar.

He immediately guessed that it was caused by the high temperature.

Extremely hot material rapidly drilled down from the mountaintop, thus forming this smooth stone wall.

It stopped after drilling for more than 100 meters, forming a circular pit, as if a stone pillar was pressing down on a sphere.

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

Could it be that the Phoenix's true blood possesses such characteristics?
It can penetrate into solid rock, emit extremely high temperatures, and drill such a deep pit.
He recalled that none of the ancient books he had seen contained any record of the true blood of the phoenix.

The inside of the stone wall was not stained with red, but rather black.

More importantly, there are no jade mines.

He stepped onto the mountaintop.

Slowly push the boulder aside.

Clearly, this boulder was moved here later, and it is very likely that it belonged to He Yuanzhen.

They plunged down, floating like cotton wool, while simultaneously reaching out to touch the smooth, glass-like stone wall.

Sensing the aura emanating from the stone wall, he immediately became certain that it was very likely the true blood of the phoenix.

This aura made him involuntarily feel the vastness and profoundness of the land.

This aura was similar to the divine script he had seen.

Does the true blood of the phoenix really exist in this world?

If there is true phoenix blood here, is it only found here in the whole world?
If the phoenix bleeds, does it stop after just one drop?
He then shook his head.

This mountain is so strange; it is clearly influenced by the true blood of the phoenix.

The fact that the other peaks are lush and green means they are unaffected.

He thought for a moment, closed his eyes, and activated the limits of his extrasensory perception.

The range of his extrasensory perception rapidly expanded outwards: ten miles, twenty miles, thirty miles... one hundred miles... two hundred miles... three hundred miles.

This surprised him.

Unbeknownst to them, the range of their super-sensory ultimate vision had reached three hundred miles!

He thought for a moment, then drew a portal of light, and in the next instant, he arrived three hundred miles to the east, where he once again illuminated the cave.

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

Then it's the north, and then the south.

After dozens of attempts to see the cave, he finally appeared in front of a small hill.

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

The terrain here is completely different from that two thousand miles away.

The surrounding area is a vast sea of ​​sand, with little greenery; almost everything in sight is yellow sand and strange rocks.

There are several other small hills around this hill, and hundreds of such hills in the vicinity.

He stood before this hill because he had discovered something unusual about its interior.

Inside it is a deep pit and a passage, as smooth as glass, like the mountain peak.

This passage greatly boosted his spirits.

But he didn't sense the Phoenix's true blood; it was just an empty space.

Without supernatural abilities, it would be extremely difficult to discover this place among these hills. Moreover, it is very inconspicuous, unless one comes to this hill by sheer coincidence, blows it open, and finds the passage at the bottom of the hill.

After an unknown period of time, this hill has now become a barrier blocking the entrance to that deep pit.

If he had truly discovered the Phoenix Blood, he could only marvel at his own good fortune, and at Li Miaotan's good fortune as well.

Without superhuman senses, it would be almost impossible to discover this place.

Even if someone discovers this place, they won't know it's Phoenix Blood.

After all, the legend of the Phoenix's true blood is rare and obscure.

Thinking of this, he floated up to the hill and closed his eyes.

He sensed it for a moment with his intuition, then frowned.

He sensed danger.

This smooth, vertical passage conceals danger and the possibility of death.

Thinking of this, a white light flew out from his sleeve, revealing a delicate and exquisite throwing knife.

The throwing knife hovered above his head, trembling slightly, like a bird poised to take flight.

Chu Liezhao took a deep breath.

The throwing knife flew lightly towards the hill, shooting straight in and gliding across it like tofu, descending without any hindrance.

They continued shooting down into the vertical circular pit, paused briefly, and then fired without hesitation.

The throwing knife continued downwards for over two hundred meters before stopping.

He saw what was happening below through the throwing knife.

It was a huge cave, a circular cave of about one hundred square meters.

Meanwhile, a ball of flame was leaping in the air above the cave.

The flame was actually seven-colored.

The throwing knife tried to get closer, but found it couldn't; some inexplicable force was hindering it.

Undeterred, Flying Knife continued forward, but he was powerless to move.

Chu Liezhao frowned.

He felt a burning pain, as if he were being burned.

This burning sensation does not originate from the physical body, but rather from the spirit and soul.

Could this be the true blood of the phoenix?

If we're talking about flames, Li Miaotan also felt the burning sensation of flames when she was in seclusion.

Compared to the intensity of this flame, the scorching heat there is negligible.

He endured the pain and focused his energy on throwing the knife.

The throwing knife suddenly lit up, trying to move forward, but was blocked by an invisible force.

It feels like an ant trying to shake an elephant.

The burning pain intensified, and the throwing knife suddenly rose, moving away from the seven-colored flames.

Eventually, it returned to the hill and hovered above his head.

He couldn't help but wonder if the flames were formed from the true blood of the phoenix.

Then a portal of light appeared, and the next moment they appeared in the residence of the Twelve Imperial Sons-in-Law in Phoenix Imperial City.

As soon as he appeared, Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen sensed it and rushed over.

Chu Liezhao instructed Li Yuzhen to go to the palace to see the Empress.

Ask the Empress to find a way to urge Li Miaotan to leave seclusion as soon as possible.

Li Yuzhen was surprised and agreed, and went to the palace to request an audience with the Empress.

Fu Zheng asked Chu Lie Zhao the reason out of curiosity.

Chu Liezhao shook his head, telling her not to stay by his side and to go about her business.

These days he goes to Da Guangming Peak during the day and returns to the Prince Consort's Mansion at night.

Fu Zheng reluctantly agreed and had no choice but to leave.

……

At this moment, Leng Tieya, a guest peak of Zhaixing Cliff, once again saw Hu Yunni and Miao Qingjie.

Hu Yunni and Miao Qingjie had both changed their clothes, and their expressions were casual and relaxed.

Leng Tieya served tea and said with a smile, "It seems that the remains have been properly arranged?"

Miao Qingjie smiled and said, "The remains have been taken over by the elders. They will study them first, and we will wait for good news."

Leng Tieya asked, "Can't we comprehend it together?"

"Our cultivation level is not high enough. To avoid any accidents, let's wait a while."

“That’s true,” Leng Tieya agreed.

This is a mature and prudent move.

Remains are indeed extremely dangerous; rash contact could result in possession at best, or death at worst.

Otherwise, I would have already removed the calluses from the bones inside the Laoying acupoint on my left palm.

"It will take some time to fulfill my promise to Mr. Sun," Miao Qingjie said apologetically. "Please stay a few more days, sir."

Leng Tieya smiled and nodded: "I live alone, so it doesn't matter where I live."

"That would be perfect," Miao Qingjie said with a smile.

Hu Yunni said, "Our clan must repay your kindness, sir."

"Oh—?" Leng Tieya asked with curiosity, "What's the reward?"

He did not generously refuse; Zhaixing Cliff had a profound history and must have some good things.

Moreover, Zhaixing Cliff has a good reputation, so this time they will surely give me something really good and won't just give me a perfunctory gift.
