Against the Gods

Through the sealing formation, Yun Che was surprised to discover that this place turned out to be a flat stone room. The stone chamber is unusually wide, with a vertical and horizontal length of 100 meters, not to mention two hundred people, even if it is ten times more, it is enough to accommodate. There are long stone ladders on both sides of the stone room, and it seems that there is another layer above. In front of the stone room, there is a long passage. The passage is about tens of meters long, and at the end, it is clearly a red circle that rotates slowly, the same as the outer seal circle.

The formation that seals the entrance blocks sight, but not sound. The howls of the black demon mercenaries outside came in clearly and continuously.

"Blast me this battle!" This was the voice of the Dark Demon.

Then, a slight crash came from outside, and then there was a scream like a pig: "Aah! Fire! My hand is on fire, ahh~~~"

"Back up! Back up for me! Oh! This seal formation is so weird, there must be some huge treasure hidden in it! Give me a shift here! I don't believe they haven't come out!"

Although they reached a safe place, the shadow of fear still enveloped everyone in the Phoenix Clan, and the sound from outside made them despair. Yun Che frowned tightly, and after thinking for a long time, he said to Lan Xueruo, "Senior sister, how long will it take for your giant snow sculpture to wake up?"

Lan Xueruo shook her head and said worriedly, "I don't know either. This time Xiaoxue has overdrawn not only her strength, but her vitality. It may take a long time to wake up, it may take a week, it may take a month... and there may be more. Long."

"If it can wake up, how many people can it take out at a time?"

"Ten people should be fine." Lan Xueruo said.

"Ten people..." Looking at the more than 200 people in the stone room, his brows tightened. If the giant snow sculpture woke up, it would not be a problem for him and Lan Xueruo to escape. But he believed that with Lan Xueruo's temperament, he would never be willing to leave these people alone... Although their life and death could be said to have nothing to do with her.

"I finally hid here, hoping that I won't offend the god of Phoenix." Feng Baichuan stood at the entrance of the cave, his face full of sorrow and resentment, as well as sadness and helplessness.

"At least you can save your life temporarily. The phoenix is ​​a holy spirit, and it is impossible to blame you for something like this." Yun Che walked to his side and said.

"I hope so." Feng Baichuan sighed: "For many years, our clan has been keeping our own feet, trembling with fear, and never dared to do anything that might offend the Phoenix Spirit, because we were really afraid, and we didn't expect it to be today. ...and even so, we can only live in peace temporarily. You can hear the voices of these thieves. They obviously want to stay at the entrance of the cave all the time. There is no food and water here, and we can't support it for a few days, especially the elderly and children. ……Ugh."

"In terms of food and water, I have some here. There are more than two hundred people. If you save it, you can support it for ten days and a half months." Yun Che said.

"You?" Feng Baichuan looked at Yun Che with a look of disbelief. Yun Che's body was clearly clean and neat, and he didn't bring anything, so how could he have water and food that could support more than 200 people for more than ten days?

Yun Che didn't talk nonsense, he wiped it on his left hand and handed the six cyan space rings to Feng Baichuan. These space rings were also obtained by him in the Xiao Sect’s treasury. They were filled with water and all kinds of food. Obviously, the treasury was not only used by the Xiao Sect’s branch as a place to store valuables, but also as a place of crisis. The sturdy defense in front of the treasure house is extremely difficult to break. In the event of an accident, they can escape to the treasure house. The water and food specially stored in it are enough to support them for a long time until the disaster passes.

Feng Baichuan found out about the space ring, and then a surprised look appeared on his face. At this moment, Yun Che's voice came from his ear: "Patriarch Feng, I don't understand a few things. Your family has the blood of the phoenix, and the phoenix is ​​an ancient divine beast, and the blood of the phoenix is ​​far stronger and more noble than the blood of mortals, why? Your profound strength can't even break through the Elementary Profound Realm? I remember you said 'curse' before,

Is it related to the curse? "

Feng Baichuan was stunned, but he did not speak for a long time.

"I took the liberty, this should be your family's secret, I shouldn't ask more." Seeing that Feng Baichuan was silent, Yun Che said immediately.

"No!" Feng Baichuan shook his head and laughed at himself: "What kind of family secret is this, it's just the punishment and retribution we suffered."

"Punishment? Retribution?" Yun Che was surprised.

Feng Baichuan closed his eyes slightly, and said with a heavy expression: "The phoenix is ​​an ancient divine beast, it once descended on the Profound Sky Continent, and in order to keep its flames in the Profound Sky Continent, it left many places for trials. Those who try can get the bloodline inheritance. And this phoenix bloodline can be passed on through reproduction. Thus, the Phoenix family was born. According to the ancestors’ records, the Phoenix left a total of two trials in the Profound Sky Continent. One is in the distant Divine Phoenix Empire, and the other is here. However, that place in the Divine Phoenix Empire is well known to the world, and it has created the incomparably powerful 'Divine Phoenix Sect', and the Blue Wind Empire's this However, the ancestors found it by accident, and it is not known to the world at all. No one would have thought that in this desolate and dangerous mountain range of ten thousand beasts, there would actually be a relic of ancient beasts."

"That is to say, this place is just a test ground, and it's not at all the treasures that the evil thieves outside guessed?" Yun Che nodded his chin.

"That's right." Feng Baichuan nodded, "The ancestors passed the trial here, and at that time, the 'Divine Phoenix Sect' of the Divine Phoenix Empire had become the protector sect of the Divine Phoenix Empire. It also changed the name to 'Divine Phoenix'. That place of trial has also become the highest forbidden area of ​​the Divine Phoenix Sect, and only the highest-level disciples are qualified to enter. The Phoenix bloodline is their greatest pride and glory, if they know it There are also appearances of the phoenix blood in other places, and maybe it is not the sympathy of the same blood, but the destruction."

Yun Che nodded secretly, agreeing deeply. The Divine Phoenix Empire was formerly known as the Hero Empire. Later, the Divine Phoenix Sect rose strongly and supported a new royal family. Even the name of the country was changed to the Divine Phoenix Empire. As a result, the Phoenix bloodline became the glory and unique symbol of the Divine Phoenix Empire. If they really find that there are other Phoenix bloodlines, then they will definitely get rid of them by any means.

"The ancestors who passed the trial passed down the Phoenix bloodline from generation to generation. When it was passed down to the twelfth generation, it had developed into a sect with powerful forces, but it never regarded itself as the Phoenix family, and the phoenix imprint on its forehead It has been hidden in front of people. In that generation, an ancestor fought people with the flame of the phoenix, and the monstrous flames inadvertently spread to a small town, burning all the 32,000 innocent people in the town."

Yun Che: "..."

"These heinous crimes have attracted the wrath of the Phoenix Spirit in the land of trials, and were punished with cruel punishment. The phoenix bloodline of all the tribesmen of that generation was imprinted with a curse, and the profound strength of all the tribesmen was forcibly suppressed to the beginning. At the tenth level of the Profound Realm, one cannot take any further steps for the rest of their lives. Moreover, even the phoenix mark has turned dark red and can no longer be hidden. It seems that this mutated mark is used to make all the clansmen remember the monstrous sins they have committed.”

"The ancestors had many powerful enemies, and their power was suppressed to such a low level that they had to choose to hide... Later, they were horrified to discover that this bloodline curse would be forcibly passed on. With the dark red phoenix imprint, profound strength is also unable to break through the primary mystery. The ancestors thought of countless ways to remove the curse imprint, but it was left by the phoenix god, and how could human beings interfere? Now that a thousand years have passed, The seal of the curse still exists in our bloodline and has never disappeared. Our family can only hide in the mountain range of ten thousand beasts, keeping ourselves safe, praying every day to atone for the sins of our ancestors, and praying for the forgiveness of the Phoenix God.”

"To this day, our clan has withered to this state. A small mercenary group can push us to such a desperate state, huh..." Feng Baichuan gave a very sad and miserable laugh, in his heavy voice , revealing too much helplessness and unwillingness.

Originally, this was indeed a secret that could not be told to foreigners, but to the point where it is now miserable and withered, the so-called bloodline and the so-called racial secret have become a joke. Perhaps the greatest desire of all their clansmen is that they were not born with the blood of the phoenix, but rather like an ordinary person. He also suddenly understood why, even in the face of the huge crisis of the entire clan being slaughtered, Feng Baichuan still did not immediately think of letting the clan people hide in this Phoenix Relic. That's right, they were afraid. Their family spent thousands of years and dozens of generations to atone for their sins, and they longed for the forgiveness of the Phoenix God in their dreams. How could they dare to do anything that might be disrespectful to the Phoenix God.

He turned around, looked at the red seal formation at the end of the passage, and said, "Patriarch Feng, is the back of that seal formation the place of trial left by Phoenix?"

"That's right." Feng Baichuan nodded, "These two seals were left by the ancestors back then, and only the blood of the phoenix can be released, in order to prevent outsiders from entering."

Yun Che immediately made up his mind and said, "Then can you help me unlock that seal?"

"...Don't you think so?" Feng Baichuan looked sideways.

"That's right!" Yun Che nodded, "I want to see what kind of trial this ancient divine beast Phoenix left behind. Now that I have such an opportunity, of course I want to try it."

Feng Baichuan did not refuse immediately, but asked, "Little brother, what is your current profound strength level?"

"First-level Nascent Profound Realm." Yun Che answered truthfully.

"Absolutely not!!" Feng Baichuan showed disappointment, and then categorically refused: "It's not that I don't want you to enter. It's... that when the ancestors passed the trial of the phoenix, their profound strength had reached the realm of spiritual and profound, and Even though he possessed fire-type profound arts, it was extremely difficult to pass, and he obtained the blood of the phoenix and the divine phoenix pill. Later, some ancestors passed the trial and obtained the divine phoenix pill, but these ancestors did not have the profound strength cultivation base. One is lower than the Spirit Profound Realm.”

"After the bloodline curse came down, no one passed the test again. Even the first test, no one passed the test. After all, how could a power at the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm resist the test of the phoenix flame. And over the years, some clansmen who wanted to forcibly pass the test even died inside and never came out. You only have the strength of the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm, and there is absolutely no possibility of passing the test, and you may even suffer death. Dangerous."
