In the Zhongzhou continent, deep in the southwestern part of the Beast Territory, the energy between heaven and earth seemed to be crushed and reorganized by some ancient pressure, turning into purple-black clouds surging across the sky.
The cloud waves were not ordinary fog. Each wisp was condensed with fine lightning patterns, as if countless tiny electric arcs were wandering in it. Occasionally, one or two would fall to the ground, and then explode with faint blue flames between the cracks in the rocks, revealing an indescribable weirdness.
This was the Burning Thunder Wasteland on the outskirts of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan's territory. Barely any grass grew on the surface, only cracked, dark blue rocks, with a fishy, sweet steam bubbling from the cracks. Millions of years of sediment had long since saturated the earth with a sickly purple hue.
The skyline in the far distance was cut by a giant light film. Nine-colored feather-like patterns flowed on the surface of the light film, and fine rune ripples bloomed from time to time. The light bands hanging from the edge of the light film swept across the wasteland. The rocks trembled slightly wherever they passed, as if bowing to the supreme bloodline within the barrier.
In the clouds above the horizon, several birds with golden and red feathers on their backs were surging with lightning. When their wings passed through the clouds, they tore tiny traces of light out of the lead-gray clouds. They were the spiritual birds that the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan had arranged to patrol outside the clan territory.
They circled back and forth in the air, their sharp pupils staring down, always paying attention to the situation there.
If any foreign aura attempts to approach, they will ruthlessly use their methods to give the outsider the most severe attack.
At this moment, the force of space above the wasteland suddenly rippled, and the void on a hill somewhere in the wasteland twisted gently like the surface of water. Amidst the tiny sparks of spiritual light, two figures, a man and a woman, stepped out from the crack.
The moment their toes touched the ground, even the constantly changing scenery around them paused for a moment, and a few strands of soft light appeared around them.
These two people were none other than Xiao Ling and Feng Qing'er, who had already made proper preparations to enter the space where the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan was located.
“Tsk tsk, the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan is quite impressive. We are only at the outskirts of the clan territory, and have not yet touched the space where they actually live, but there are already such strange phenomena.”
Xiao Ling looked around, looking at the purple-black clouds rolling in the sky and the cracked blue-black rocks on the ground. His fingertips unconsciously stroked his cuffs, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"This overwhelming feeling of oppression...I haven't experienced it in a long time."
"In my opinion, the way the Xingyun Pavilion behaves is more comforting, and it is not at all ostentatious. Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Feng Qing'er echoed, "If the Tian Yao Huang Clan really has invincible strength, why would they rely on these strange phenomena to establish their prestige?"
Just as the two were talking, several patrolling spirit birds in the sky suddenly flapped their wings and turned around due to the previous space fluctuations. Their golden and red feathers cut through the clouds, and their sharp eyes swept towards the wasteland hills like lightning, obviously noticing the unusual movement.
Noticing those gazes getting closer, Xiao Ling and Feng Qing'er stopped talking at the same time and looked up at the figures surging in the clouds.
However, when the sharp eyes of the spirit birds swept over, Xiao Ling did not dodge at all, as if he was not afraid of being noticed by them. This calmness naturally came from his own confidence.
Suddenly, a light blue halo appeared in his eyes.
Before those spiritual birds noticed anything unusual here, the spiritual power in Xiao Ling's Niwan Palace had already surged out like a tide in the blink of an eye, turning into invisible ripples that quickly spread to the sky.
Under the guidance of Xiao Ling's powerful mental power, he activated the secret technique "Phantom Dream Shadow".
The senses of several spiritual birds were also affected immediately, and they felt that the scene before their eyes was blurred, as if they were in a dream, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. However, they did not notice the slightest abnormality.
When they fixed their eyes on the place where the abnormal situation occurred in the space just now, there were two figures standing there.
However, under the cover of the phantom dream, they could only see Feng Qing'er's figure, while Xiao Ling seemed to have merged into the void and completely disappeared from their perception range.
When those spiritual birds saw Feng Qing'er's face clearly, they immediately recognized her identity.
Feng Qing'er has become famous in the Tianyao royal family during this period. She can be considered an outstanding figure in the family and her name is quite loud.
These spiritual birds who were in charge of guarding had naturally heard about the affairs of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, so they did not investigate further. They let out a clear cry and continued to patrol the surroundings.
And when Feng Qing'er saw that the guarding spiritual birds really ignored Xiao Ling, the stone that had been hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Although she had witnessed the power of Xiao Ling's dream shadow before, no matter how she investigated, she could not find Xiao Ling who was so close to her.
But now that she saw with her own eyes that this secret method could actually deceive even these spiritual birds with special talents in detection, she couldn't help but feel amazed, and her admiration for Xiao Ling increased a little more.
Witnessing this scene, Feng Qing'er's future plans became clearer in her mind, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
"Next, it will be up to you, Qing'er, to use the power of your bloodline to open that space passage." Xiao Ling retracted his gaze towards the sky, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"According to what you said before, this is the time for the guards to take over. There should be only one team of Heavenly Demon Phoenix guards at the exit of the space channel. With my means, it is more than enough to deal with it."
"Okay, wait until I open the space channel with the power of my bloodline, and you will come in with me." Feng Qing'er nodded slightly, with a hint of solemnity in her voice, "But you must be careful. After entering the clan land, you can't be as free as you are now. Be careful in everything."
Before she finished her words, she moved, and the feather patterns on her colorful clothes seemed to come alive, glowing brightly in the sun.
She lightly tapped the ground with her toes, and her figure was like a streak of golden-red light, cutting through the sky and rushing forward, leaving only a faint fragrance in the air.
Xiao Ling watched Feng Qing'er's figure going away. Knowing that it was not appropriate to say more at this moment, he tapped his toes lightly, and his figure flashed, turning into a residual image, following closely behind her like a shadow.
I don’t know how long I flew, but the scenery in front of me gradually changed. Mountains rose up above the wasteland.
Suddenly, Xiao Ling felt Feng Qing'er's direction changed and she flew downwards.
He looked carefully and saw two huge stone statues standing not far ahead. They were the statues of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix!
The two statues are carved entirely from an unknown black rock. They are about a hundred feet tall and look magnificent.
The Sky Demon Phoenix on the statue held its head high and chest puffed out, with its wings spread out, as if it was about to soar into the sky. Its majestic aura was overwhelming. Even with Xiao Ling's concentration, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Feng Qing'er brought Xiao Ling to a slow stop in front of the two statues. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then turned around and said to Xiao Ling:
"This is the spatial passage leading to the clan's territory. These two statues of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix are sacred objects guarding the entrance and also the medium for opening the passage."
Chapter 616: Entering the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan
After Feng Qing'er finished explaining to Xiao Ling, she said no more. She immediately closed her eyes and began to circulate the power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline in her body.
As Feng Qing'er's jade fingers deftly formed a seal, the power of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix bloodline in her body surged out in an instant like a ignited flame.
Circles of red waves appeared around her body, spreading out like ripples. As the power of her blood circulated, some feather-like colored patterns appeared faintly on her originally white jade face, shining brightly.
Suddenly, the void behind Feng Qing'er twisted, and a huge and blurry shadow of a Sky Demon Phoenix slowly condensed.
This phantom exudes a noble and powerful aura, as if it had awakened from ancient times, bringing with it endless majesty.
As the shadow of the Sky Demon Phoenix was fully formed, it let out a long cry towards the sky. The clear and melodious phoenix cry resounded through heaven and earth, making people's eardrums hurt.
As if in response to this long cry, the two originally silent stone statues of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix began to tremble slightly.
The most surprising thing was that two bright and dazzling lights suddenly burst out from their originally dim eyes, like two stars descending into the world and illuminating this area.
Feng Qing'er's eyes flashed, and then she stretched out her hands, palms facing up, and slowly pushed forward.
The fighting spirit in her body surged, transforming into streams of light visible to the naked eye, flowing along her arms and toward the two stone statues of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.
The two stone statues seemed to come alive and began to refract two beams of light. The two beams of light crossed and converged between the two stone statues, forming a dazzling ball of light.
As the fighting spirit in Feng Qing'er's body circulated more and more rapidly, more and more energy was injected into the stone statue. The energy in the light column gradually accumulated and finally reached a critical point.
At this moment, the intersection of the light beams suddenly began to rotate rapidly, forming a vortex.
Suddenly, a silver space channel suddenly emerged in the center of the vortex, exuding a mysterious and vast atmosphere, as if leading to another unknown world.
The appearance of this space channel caused the surrounding space to begin to distort, as if even the air had become unstable.
Seeing that the space channel had been opened, Feng Qing'er slowly withdrew her hands and stopped urging the blood power in her body.
As she stopped moving, the red ripples around her gradually dissipated, and the huge phantom of the Sky Demon Phoenix behind her slowly faded into the void and finally disappeared.
The feather patterns on her fair face also faded, returning to her former beauty, but with a hint of fatigue between her brows.
She turned around, looked at Xiao Ling, and said softly: "Young Master, let's go in. This is the space passage leading to the inner territory of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan. The opening of the passage makes a lot of noise, and I'm sure the people in the clan have already noticed it. If we delay for too long, it will probably alert the guards, and then something unexpected will inevitably happen."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his eyes deep, and said: "Okay, I understand. You just said that we must be careful after entering. There are many powerful people in the Tian Yao Huang clan. We must be cautious at every step and not be careless."
"You are right, sir. Please be careful." Feng Qing'er reminded him again. She knew that this trip to the clan's land would be full of dangers, and Xiao Ling's safety was what she was most worried about.
"I understand. Don't worry." Xiao Ling nodded and motioned Feng Qing'er to go first.
Upon seeing this, Feng Qing'er said no more and jumped up, like a light and colorful phoenix, flying towards the silver space vortex between the two stone statues.
Her figure drew a graceful arc in the air and finally disappeared into the vortex.
Xiao Ling followed closely behind, his figure as fast as lightning, and in a few jumps he arrived in front of the space vortex.
He took a deep look at the two stone statues of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix that were still emitting dazzling light, then leaped forward and disappeared into the silver space passage.
The moment they stepped into the space channel, silver space force surged like a tide, enveloping the two of them.
This power flowed around them, intertwining and entwining, forming a deep and mysterious passage. The end of the passage was blurry and it was difficult to see where it led to. Only a vague white light could be seen.
Feng Qing'er was in front and Xiao Ling was behind, keeping a distance of half a body length between them.
Feng Qing'er was wearing colorful clothes, and Xiao Ling followed closely with a focused look. He could clearly feel the tremendous power contained in this space channel. From this, it can be seen that the space where the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan is located must have taken a lot of thought to open up.
They continued to move forward along the passage, the silver light around them flickering, as if indicating the unknown road ahead.
The scenes on both sides of the passage kept changing. Sometimes it was chaotic, and sometimes some distorted images appeared, like a mirage, which was difficult to grasp.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the white light ahead gradually became brighter, like a guiding star, illuminating the way forward for them.
Feng Qing'er quickened her pace slightly, and Xiao Ling also quickened his pace. The two of them walked firmly towards the white light exit on the opposite side of the space passage.
They knew that that was the destination of their trip, the land of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan.
……
This space is independent of the world and forms a world of its own. Its mystery is difficult to describe in words.
The energy between heaven and earth is dense and extremely rich, much more abundant than that in the outside world. It is lively and agile, as if it has life, flowing on its own, endlessly.
If ordinary practitioners can practice here, the speed and effect will be far beyond what ordinary people dare to imagine. One day's work may be equivalent to several days of hard practice in the outside world.
The mountains here are stacked and extremely steep, stretching endlessly like a giant dragon crawling, spanning between heaven and earth.
At first glance, this area seems to be an endless primeval jungle, with towering ancient trees that block out the sun, entangled vines, and overgrown weeds, exuding a desolate and primitive atmosphere.
However, if you look closely, you will find that there is an indescribable sense of regularity in this jungle, as if the position of each mountain contains some mysterious law, which is orderly and in line with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
Occasionally, a few streaks of light would flash across the sky, like a fleeting glimpse.
Looking closely, in the flowing light, there were actually giant birds flying with their wings spread. They looked like phoenixes and sounded like cranes. Their feathers were colorful and shining. They were none other than the Sky Demon Phoenix, one of the three major demon beast tribes in the Douqi Continent today!
Such supreme magical beasts are almost impossible to see in the outside world, but here, they are as common as birds in the sky, soaring freely in the sky, forming a shocking and magnificent scene.
If you look upwards, you can see huge islands floating in the sky that reaches high into the clouds.
Above the island, the energy of heaven and earth is even more intense, even condensing into a mist visible to the naked eye, colorful and dreamy.
These suspended islands are not barren, but are built with various exquisite buildings.
Between the islands, you can vaguely see flickering lights, like bridges of light connecting each other.
However, if you look closely, you will find that the scale of these suspended islands and the grandeur of the buildings on them follow some kind of internal law.
The closer the island is to the central area, the larger its scale is and the more magnificent and luxurious the buildings on it are.
This scene is obviously not formed naturally, but contains some kind of artificial order.
I think the scale and location of these buildings are naturally arranged according to one's status within the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan. The more noble one's status, the bigger the island they live on, and the closer to the center their location is.
And above the sky, in the very center of this space, even if you cannot see the whole picture, as long as you look there, you can see a giant island vaguely visible in the rolling clouds, and on it there seem to be even more magnificent and luxurious buildings standing.
Among the clouds and mist, only the vague outlines of those buildings could be seen, but one could already feel their majestic momentum. The user of that island was naturally the patriarch of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan from all generations.
