The Azure Blue Mansion's Inner Mansion has a Phoenix Blood Pool!
Entering the Phoenix Blood Pool and awakening your bloodline can aid in the cultivation of Bloodline Secret Skills, rapidly enhancing strength!
Hearing Phoenix Spirit's words, Jiang Yao too became excited. Of course, she longed to return to the Minor Spirit Realm soon, to see her father, mother, and the people from the Divine Phoenix Clan! Naturally, she wanted to awaken her bloodline, to become even stronger and to cultivate more quickly!
"Elder Phoenix Spirit, I am willing," Jiang Yao said to Phoenix Spirit without hesitation.
However, the girl immediately thought of Ye Chen beside her, "Elder Phoenix Spirit, can Ye Chen also cultivate in the Phoenix Blood Pool? Even if he doesn't have the Divine Phoenix Clan bloodline, helping him improve his cultivation would be good."
Phoenix Spirit looked at Ye Chen, whom Jiang Yao was clinging to closely, and understood the nature of their relationship.
Nevertheless, Phoenix Spirit shook her head, "This Phoenix Blood Pool can only be used by members of my clan. It is not a blessing but a curse for others to enter."
"This place is not for Ye Chen to enter," she added.
Hearing Phoenix Spirit's words, Jiang Yao's delicate little face showed deep disappointment.
"Jiang Yao, don't worry about me," Ye Chen said as he patted her little head, "You go ahead and awaken your bloodline in the 'Phoenix Blood Pool'. I also plan to make a breakthrough in my realm. I've just sensed the True Thunder Extreme Change recently."
Ye Chen had felt the True Thunder Induction in the Fourth Sea Island, but with the Great Demon rampant at the time, he never had the chance to attempt the True Thunder Extreme Change.
Now, since Jiang Yao was preparing to cultivate in the Azure Blue Mansion, it was a perfect time for him to attempt the True Thunder Extreme Change and step into the second chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture, thus enhancing his strength once more!
The matters of the "Divine Phoenix Clan" deeply resonated with Ye Chen, not just because they concerned Jiang Yao's heritage, but also due to the blood feud with the ten great Demon Sects and the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory.
Ye Chen worried that one day, if the ten great Demon Sects, much like the two great Ancient Clans of the Minor Spirit Realm, exerted absolute dominance over the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory and waged war, his kingdom, and his parents would be swept into the flames of war just like what happened to the Divine Phoenix Clan.
Currently, Ye Chen's strength was still not powerful enough. Although he was able to suppress a Half-Step Rotating Pill with the strength of the initial Spirit Sea stage, he needed the aid of the King of Earth Fragrance Flowers to fight against an early Rotating Pill Realm Demon King and still couldn't do it on his own.
Unable to defeat even an early-stage Rotating Pill Realm opponent, Ye Chen would be useless if a great war truly broke out, and he might not even be able to protect his own parents.
Ye Chen refused to let the tragedy of the Divine Phoenix Clan happen again!
Furthermore, if Jiang Yao could truly return to the Minor Spirit Realm within ten years after awakening her bloodline as Phoenix Spirit had said, Ye Chen did not want to be separated from her.
He was determined to enhance his strength and strive towards the Heavenly Saint Realm. Even if he did not have the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix Clan and could not reach the Heavenly Saint Realm within ten years, he still wanted to reach the strongest level possible!
Moreover, with the Primordial Star Scripture, along with the Nine Transformation Fighting Body and Sword Formation Cultivation Technique, he might be able to make a significant breakthrough within ten years!
"True Thunder Extreme Change?!"
Hearing Ye Chen talk about attempting the True Thunder Extreme Change made Jiang Yao excited too.
She had heard from Ye Chen about a wondrous Pagoda he had acquired, containing a powerful spell, and he had even explained the cultivation method to her. Curiously though, without the Pagoda inside her body, she was unable to practice the technique.
Now, hearing that Ye Chen had sensed the True Thunder Extreme Change, Jiang Yao was of course delighted.
If that were the case, both Ye Chen and she could make great progress!
Phoenix Spirit looked at Ye Chen.
While she did not know what the True Thunder Extreme Change that Ye Chen mentioned was, it was presumably a formidable Cultivation Technique.
"Ye Chen, although you cannot enter the Phoenix Blood Pool, there is a cultivation chamber in the Inner Mansion that is filled with an abundance of True Qi. You can cultivate there."
"Azure Blue Mansion has protective prohibitions. Non-members of the Divine Phoenix Clan can only stay inside the Azure Blue Mansion for a month before they are automatically transported out. Use this one month to cultivate well inside."
"As for Jiang Yao, you don't need to worry. Her bloodline awakening can take as short as half a month to a month, or up to three months at most. But since she possesses the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix Clan, she won't be rejected by the prohibitions. Once she finishes her cultivation, I will send her out to meet you."
Ye Chen nodded his head.
No wonder the golden Demon Carp said that one could only stay in the Azure Blue Mansion for a month. It turns out it was the Azure Blue Mansion's protective prohibition at work. It seems that the owner of this tomb has quite thoroughly figured out the Azure Blue Mansion's prohibitions.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly thought of something.
The owner of this tomb, Feng Ling must have met him, and Ye Chen always felt that there was something off about the tomb; it didn't seem like it belonged to Heavenly Saint Linghua. Perhaps he could verify with Feng Ling who the true owner of the tomb was!
"Senior Feng Ling, do you know why we entered the Azure Blue Mansion?" Ye Chen asked aloud.
Feng Ling shook the Flying Feathers on her body: "My Divine Sense, as well as that of the other guards of the Azure Blue Mansion, is locked within the Azure Blue Mansion. We can only sense the space within the Azure Blue Mansion and a few hundred paces outside it. Beyond that, I'm not quite certain. Otherwise, I would have summoned Jiang Yao into the Azure Blue Mansion long ago."
Ye Chen nodded. No wonder Jiang Yao only sensed the call from within the Azure Blue Mansion as they approached it. It turned out Feng Ling and the others' Divine Senses could not reach far into the outside world.
Without further hesitation, Ye Chen told Feng Ling everything about him and Jiang Yao, as well as many others who entered the tomb after discovering Heavenly Saint Linghua's Spirit Plaque, along with the bizarre incidents inside the tomb.
Jiang Yao also understood what Ye Chen was doubtful of, and she, too, told Feng Ling about the events on the Eighth Sea Island.
Both of them had long harbored suspicions about the identity of the tomb's owner, suspecting that he was not Heavenly Saint Linghua. Now was the time to seek confirmation from Feng Ling.
Upon hearing Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's descriptions of the tomb, Feng Ling did not say much. The Divine Light on her fluffy feathers slightly stirred, and a huge shadow directly appeared in the hall: "This is the Heavenly Saint who once entered the Azure Blue Mansion. He is the owner of the tomb you mentioned. Look and see if he's that Heavenly Saint Linghua."
This shadow wore a long black robe and was leaning on a serpent-headed cane, with a gaunt face and deep, gloomy eyes, appearing like a dying old man.
Seeing this shadow, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's expressions changed drastically: "Heavenly Saint Moya!"
This shadow's appearance was nothing like that of the legendary Heavenly Saint Linghua of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom. Heavenly Saint Linghua was known to be extremely youthful and handsome. This shadow was clearly the very Heavenly Saint Moya from the Demon Sects who had fought against Heavenly Saint Linghua and carved out the Demon Burial Abyss!
Before entering the tomb, Fairy Jia Luo had specifically shown Ye Chen and Jiang Yao the records of the epic battle between Heavenly Saint Linghua and Heavenly Saint Moya so that they could navigate the tomb. Needless to say, they had a vivid memory of the two great Heavenly Saints described in the records.
Now it seemed that everyone was mistaken. The tomb they had entered was not really that of Heavenly Saint Linghua but rather his adversary, Heavenly Saint Moya! It was very possible that Heavenly Saint Linghua even ended up dying at the hands of Heavenly Saint Moya in that ancient battle!
"Heavenly Saint Moya of the ten great Demon Sects!"
"He masqueraded as Heavenly Saint Linghua and lured us into the tomb. What exactly does he want to do?"
Ye Chen and Jiang Yao looked extremely troubled. They finally understood why the tomb was so eerie, why the black pillars spewed forth countless Great Demons rampaging about, and why the Legacy Treasures were hidden in black pearls, requiring the killing of others to obtain them.
These tactics were indeed something characteristic of the Demon Sects!
They, martial artists from the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory, had been deceived into the tomb of Heavenly Saint Moya of the Demon Sects—the blood enemy and nemesis of the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory!
If the other Tomb Explorers who were still inside the tomb knew about this, their reactions wouldn't just be a change in color; many would likely be terrified out of their wits!
Even if the Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses waiting outside the tomb knew, all the Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses would shudder with fear!
