High-level martial arts: Long spear with black flames to suppress demons.

For over a thousand years, this priceless treasure has remained dormant. The royal court has seen more than one ruler, but none have been able to truly revive it. Now, the phoenix has finally arrived, but a problem that cannot be avoided still lies before everyone.

Looking at the projection, Shi Lie said in a deep voice, "In the past, the Phoenix Lord and the Phoenix Queen each held one, one in charge of the robe and the other in charge of the wheel. Now, only Your Highness is involved. Can she really handle it all by herself?"

Du Yue's bloodline is pure enough, perhaps even stronger than many phoenixes recorded in history. However, she is currently only at the sixth realm, and her origin has not yet been replenished. Being recognized by a supreme treasure does not mean that her body can withstand the simultaneous operation of two supreme treasures.

Lei Hong thought for a moment and said, "We can try to awaken one of them first, while keeping the other sealed. We'll make further plans once Your Highness's cultivation level has improved."

Tu Shan Feiyue slowly said, "If it's just as proof of the Demon Emperor's identity, then of course it's fine. But the Phoenix Decree is also connected to the Demon Realm's ley lines and the Royal Court's formation... If it's only half restored, there are still many things that can't be done."

Peng Lie frowned: "If we can't do it, we'll wait. We've waited a thousand years already, what's a little more time? Her Highness's agreement to ascend the throne doesn't mean we can let her take the risk."

Shi Lie looked at him: "No one said we should force her to do it, but we need to consider things carefully first. If Your Highness cannot bear it alone, is there anyone in the Five Phoenix Branch who can help her share the burden?"

Xuan Ce shook his head: "We've tried everything we could over the years. If someone from the Five Phoenix branch could gain recognition, it wouldn't have remained dormant until today."

There was no response from the crowd, and their gazes returned to the two treasures in mid-air.

After a moment, Cang Gu slowly spoke: "It's not entirely impossible. There's one more person we should keep an eye on."

Several clan leaders looked at him at the same time.

"Shen Chang'an".

Lion Fierce frowned: "But he's human."

Yuan Chongyue said from the side, "Let's hear what Senior Cang Gu has to say first. There must be a reason for mentioning him."

Xuan Ce also looked at Cang Gu: "Tell me your thoughts."

Cang Gu didn't beat around the bush: "He has a portion of the Phoenix's essence and a branch of the Wutong tree within him."

This time, even Lu Qingyan showed some surprise.

When Shen Chang'an entered the hall, she sensed the phoenix flames within him, but since Du Yue was close to him, she initially thought it was a power given to her by Du Yue and didn't think about it any deeper.

Are you sure?

Cang Gu nodded: "I'm sure. I can't mistake that aura. He also has another kind of black flame on his body, which is very powerful and has also covered up a lot of the phoenix aura, so it's easy to miss if you don't look closely."

"But that part of the origin, unlike the Five Phoenixes branch, does touch the very foundation of the phoenix. In terms of purity, it is far inferior to Your Highness's, yet it should not easily appear in a human."

Peng Lie's expression darkened: "Where did he get those things?"

"We don't know yet, but judging from the degree of integration of the energy, it doesn't seem like it was forcibly taken. Without evidence, we shouldn't think the worst."

Penglie didn't ask any more questions.

They all saw Du Yue's trust in Shen Chang'an. If the other party had really done something to harm the Phoenix Clan, he wouldn't be receiving such unreserved closeness from Du Yue now.

Tu Shan Fei Yue sat up slightly: "So, you think he might gain the approval of the Supreme Treasure?"

"It's possible, but not guaranteed. Ultimately, it's up to the treasure itself to choose. What I mean is, let's keep this plan in mind for now, but we don't need to finalize it right away."

Yuan Chongyue nodded: "I agree with that. There's no point in arguing here about whether he's human or demon. When the time comes, let the treasure recognize him itself. If it can't, then so be it."

Lu Qingyan pondered for a moment but did not immediately express his opinion.

Allowing a human to come into contact with the Phoenix Clan's innate treasure would inevitably cause controversy. However, Shen Chang'an and Du Yue have a special relationship, and Shen Chang'an does indeed possess the Phoenix's essence within him, so this possibility cannot be completely ruled out based solely on his birth.

Xuan Ce said slowly, "Let Her Highness recover first, and then see how far she can go on her own. Perhaps she is like that Demon Emperor back then, who doesn't need anyone else."

"If another person is indeed needed to wield the weapon, then inform His Highness of the situation. Only if she is willing, and Shen Chang'an himself is willing, is it worth trying."

Lu Qingyan nodded: "Then let's do it this way. Right now it's just speculation, so let's not mention it to anyone else, and let's not let Shen Chang'an misunderstand that we have ulterior motives towards him."

None of them objected to this.

Peng Lie steered the conversation back to Du Yue: "So, how do you plan to restore your original state?"

"Use the Five Veins Paying Homage to the Phoenix Ceremony."

Lu Qingyan waved his hand to disperse the projection of the supreme treasure, replacing it with a five-colored array diagram. Five flames converged from different directions to the center, slowly flowing around a phoenix tree, and finally outlining the silhouette of a phoenix on the tree crown.

Tu Shan Feiyue glanced at it and immediately understood her meaning: "This is indeed suitable. Relying solely on taking spiritual medicine is too slow. The resonance of the five meridians will be more helpful to her."

After the Phoenix Clan disappeared, each of the five major branches retained a portion of their bloodline. Over the millennia, while each clan developed, they also gradually diverged, and the impurities within their bloodlines became increasingly difficult to eliminate.

The Five Clans Paying Homage to the Phoenix Ceremony is a ritual that uses the bloodline and spiritual essence of the five clans to establish a resonance with the phoenix.

The flames, gathered through the array, can help Du Yue repair her origins and activate her bloodline, which has not yet fully awakened. At the same time, the phoenix's aura will resonate back to nourish the five races, refining their bloodlines and awakening some of their dormant heritage.

This is not a one-sided effort by the five tribes. As long as the ceremony goes smoothly, both sides can benefit from it, and the ancestral land of the five tribes will also have the opportunity to be nourished by the phoenix's aura once again.

Lu Qingyan said, "Once her source is replenished, her foundation will be more stable. When she comes into contact with inheritances and supreme treasures, at least we don't have to worry about her body not being able to withstand it first."

Cang Wulan looked at the array diagram: "This ceremony hasn't been held for over a thousand years. Are the five clans prepared?"

"The formations and scriptures have been preserved, and the royal court will also provide assistance. As for the wishes of the five clans, Jin Yao and Qing Ge have mentioned before that they hope to help His Highness recover as soon as possible. I will personally contact the other three clans."

She paused, then said, "We should also take this opportunity to inventory the phoenix relics that were entrusted to the five clans for safekeeping."

When the Phoenix Clan disappeared, many of their inheritances and relics were scattered among the five major branches, including ancestral feathers, fire seeds, inherited scriptures, and phoenix tree seeds, as well as sealed essence blood, fragments of ritual artifacts, and some array cores.

These things have been preserved to this day and have long become the most important heritage of the five ethnic groups.

Cang Gu spoke up to remind them, "Don't rush this matter. Those things have been guarded for thousands of years. They deserve an explanation and respect."

Lu Qingyan nodded: "I understand."

"Send the list over for verification first. Those directly related to the Phoenix Heavenly Decree and the Demon Emperor's inheritance should be discussed and sent back to the Royal Court. Those already integrated into the ancestral land and related to the bloodline of the clan should not be touched for now. We will discuss how to deal with them later."

"Can."
