Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 719 - 592: Dragon Eyes
"Can it be confirmed?"
Stunned, Hu Tianzong reached out to wipe away the water marks on the table, looking at Qi Xiu with astonished eyes.
Phoenix Sovereign!
As an ancient clan elite, the Hu Family naturally understood the weight of these two words.
This is one of the few formidable existences throughout eternal history that could rival the True Dragon Clan.
It is said that there is eternally only one adult Phoenix Sovereign in heaven and earth.
Because the moment a new generation of Phoenix Sovereign matures, it also means the death of the old Phoenix Sovereign.
Thus, when he learned that the Prosperous Tang Legacy was linked to the Phoenix Sovereign, he appeared so shocked and stunned.
After all, with the significance of the Phoenix Sovereign, even the Sheng Tang Empire would pay considerable attention.
"It should be correct. In the True Dragon Inheritance I received, there is information about the Phoenix Sovereign."
With a slight movement in his eyes, Qi Xiu flipped the copper piece in his hand:
"Legend has it that the Phoenix Sovereign is the condensation of the life force of heaven and earth.
In terms of life force, it surpasses all heavens and eternity, far exceeding the True Dragon Clan. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
No matter how severe the injury, even if the soul is completely extinguished, it can be reborn from the flames.
The Moon Sea True Venerable must have suffered some untreatable injury.
The Primordial Spirit True Honor has a lifespan equal to the heavens, but every so often must endure the baptism of tribulation. If it is overcome, one can continue to be free and unfettered.
If not, then perish and vanish from the Dao.
Thus, she expended effort to return to this era, seeking to claim this inheritance to heal the injury, ensuring she could survive the next tribulation."
Linking it to the Moon Sea True Venerable, the appearance of the Phoenix Emperor Heritage made more sense.
After all, even the Prosperous Tang Legacy is not as precious to a Primordial Spirit True Honor standing at the end of the Dao.
Unless this inheritance could affect the life of this Primordial Spirit True Honor.
"In this case, we must not let her succeed." Although Hu Tianzong usually behaved carelessly, he was not naïve.
The Moon Sea True Venerable set up a Great Array, lured him into it, intending to use his essence to power the array.
Such murderous intent made both sides irreconcilable.
Even if they successfully returned to the original era, they were bound to clash drastically with the Moon Sea True Venerable.
"I don't know how long that Sheng Tang strongman can confine her; we must act quickly.
Although the Moon Sea True Venerable is likely injured, her battle prowess does not seem affected when she fought Evil Maitreya before.
If she escapes, to compete with a Primordial Spirit True Honor, we will not have the advantage."
Nodding, Hu Tianzong tucked his sleeves:
"Rest assured, I have mobilized eight thousand miles of Earth Spirit, we should find clues soon.
However, if it's truly the legendary Phoenix Emperor Heritage, the danger within will likely far exceed the usual."
"Now we can only proceed step by step." Turning sideways and gazing out the window, Qi Xiu looked into the depths of this Evernight Ancient City.
A majestic courtyard standing at the city's center.
...
Ten days later.
"There's news."
Hu Tianzong, who suddenly left last night and hurried back when the sun was high, brought good news.
"The location of the inheritance has been found."
With a sweep of his sleeve, he brushed the things on the table to the floor, where countless yellow sand gathered to form a lifelike, three-dimensional and clear topographical map.
"So fast?"
Surprised at the speed of finding the inheritance, Qi Xiu stepped up to the table and lowered his eyes to gaze at the map.
"My Great Yi lineage may not match your Shenxiao Thunder Skill's overwhelming power, but it has its advantages."
Smiling broadly, Hu Tianzong pointed at a marked sand pit on the map.
"The Earth Spirits I summoned have been searching tirelessly for ten days and nights, finally locating a peculiar site in the countless miles of yellow sand desert.
Earth Spirits are nurtured by the earth's energy; hardly anything can stop them.
But at this place, Earth Spirits cannot enter.
Moreover, the closer they get to the place, the more they can feel an intense scorching heat."
"From its birth, the Phoenix Sovereign accompanies one of the Heaven and Earth Divine Fire, the Eternal Divine Fire.
The Divine Fire is overpowering, so Earth Spirits cannot get close.
Given this, the likelihood of this place being where the Phoenix Emperor Heritage resides is high."
"Yes, indeed, regardless, we must go there to find out; whether it is or isn't, we will know once we arrive."
Having identified a target, Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong immediately set off to the highly suspected site of the Phoenix Emperor Heritage.
...
Black smoke billowing, scorching heat raging.
Smoke fire of a thousand chariots, burning holes across the mountain.
High above the Sky Dome, Qi Xiu and Hu Tianzong stood on Qingyun, overlooking the hundreds-mile-wide Crimson Flame Land beneath.
"Though the temperature is high, it's all mundane fire."
Surveying the Crimson Flame Mountain Range, Hu Tianzong frowned, noticing no unusual features in this region.
It appeared just a typical fire-laden territory.
"It should be a surface disguise; otherwise, if easily observed, the Phoenix Emperor Heritage would have long been claimed."
Lowering his eyes to watch the flames emerging continuously from each cavern below, a purple hue flashed in Qi Xiu's eyes as he deployed Observing Qi Skill.
Under special vision interweaving black and white.
This seemingly ordinary Crimson Flame Land suddenly transformed.
The originally mundane fire gradually changed color, shifting from orange-red to deep purple, constantly morphing, and each cavern's flame possessing distinct variations.
These flames interwoven yet repelled each other, vaguely forming an obscure configuration.
"Hmm?"
Noticing the abnormality in the Crimson Flame Land, Qi Xiu's expression turned slightly serious:
