Chapter 108 – The Remnants of the Phoenix Ode to the World Scroll (III)

“No, let me try.”

Feng Baichuan’s words did not cause Yun Che to retreat, and he said seriously, “I am clear about my own strength, however, I do have the qualifications to attempt this trial.”

Yun Che raised his palm, his five fingers stretched out, Xuan Force surged, and the entire palm immediately burned with a large mass of orange-red flames. This mass of flame caused Feng Baichuan to be startled, and he said in surprise, “You actually have a fire-type Xuan Gong?”

“That’s right, it’s still a very high level fire Xuan Gong.” Yun Che nodded his head. However, his biggest card to attempt the Phoenix Trials was his own heaven-defying physique that was invulnerable to all flames, this was something that he certainly couldn’t possibly say, and even if he did, Feng Baichuan would definitely not believe it, “Since it’s the Phoenix’s Trials, it’s bound to be dominated by the Trials of Fire. I am well versed in the Fire Xuan Gong, and I have a certain ability to resist the Xuan Force of Fire, so I might be able to easily pass the trial.”

Feng Baichuan still shook his head and said, “The Phoenix Trial is indeed dominated by the power of fire, but you are thinking too simply. The power of inflammation that mortals ignite with their Xuan Force can’t be compared to the flames of the divine beast Phoenix. I had also attempted the Phoenix Trial ten years ago, but as soon as the trial began, I had only taken a few steps in the trial site before I was seared by the lava flames, and chose to give up after only a few breaths of time. Although you possess the Fire Xuan Gong, and will have a certain understanding, control, and ability to resist the Xuan Power of Fire, the Phoenix Fire is far more terrifying than you can imagine. Back then, the first ancestor who passed the Phoenix Trial, also had fire system Xuan Gong, and only barely passed under the Spirit Xuan Realm cultivation, and the ancestors who passed after that, because they had the Phoenix bloodline, there was a very strong resistance in their bloodline, and none of their strengths were lower than the Spirit Xuan Realm, so with the Xuan Power you have nowadays, there is no way that it would be possible at all.”

Yun Che calmly said, “Since the Phoenix Patriarch has attempted the Phoenix Trial, he is also clear that if he feels unable to withstand it during the trial, he can choose to give up on his own. Then, as long as one isn’t unnecessarily persistent and chooses to quit when they feel they can’t bear it, there is absolutely no danger to one’s life to speak of. Those of your clansmen who died during the trial should all have never come out because they wanted to force their way through. And I won’t, I treasure my life, if I feel that things are unbearable, I will immediately choose to withdraw, in this way, there is no danger to speak of, since there is no danger, no matter if I succeed or not, there is never any harm in trying, right?”

Yun Che glanced outside and continued, “If in the unlikely event that I succeed, I can at least more or less enhance the Xuan Power in my body, and there can always be a little more hope in dealing with the evil thieves outside.”

Feng Baichuan’s brows tightened as he let out a low sigh and said, “You are after all a young man, hearing that it is a trial left behind by the divine beast Phoenix, it is impossible not to be curious. When you were talking to me just now, your eyes glanced toward that sealing formation at least three times. Since you want to try that trial …… so badly, I will open the door to this trial for you. But before that, you’d better recuperate the injuries on your body, in addition, in the trial, if you feel that you can’t support yourself, you must immediately choose to exit …… Otherwise, the illusionary realm is imaginary, but the flames are the real phoenix’s flames, so if you forcibly resist it, you will really die.”

“Good!” Yun Che nodded happily.

With Yun Che’s medical skills, coupled with the supply of medicinal herbs from the entire Treasure Vault, the injuries on his body were absolutely nothing. By the second day, the wound on his shoulder had completely healed, and there was no longer any pain from moving around substantially, only leaving behind a bowl-sized scar. As long as he was willing, this scar could be completely removed within half a month.

As the day passed, the people from the Black Demon Mercenary Corps had indeed been guarding the outside, constantly clamoring. The emotions of the people of the Phoenix Legacy Clan finally calmed down, but only temporarily, they took the food and water distributed by Feng Baichuan, and did not dare to think about tomorrow in their jitters.

And at this moment, Feng Baichuan had already brought Yun Che and Lan Xueruo and stood in front of the sealing spell formation of the trial land.

“Senior Brother Yun, do you really have to try? Although it’s a trial, it might also be hiding great dangers. You only have the strength of Entry Xuan Realm Level 1, in case …… in case ……” Lan Xueruo tugged at Yun Che’s arm and continuously persuaded him.

“Don’t worry about it, Senior Sister also knows that I have a Fire Xuan Technique, it’s not that easy for something to happen to me in the Trial of Fire.” Yun Che comforted.

“But ……,” Lan Xueruo still wanted to say something, but looking at Yun Che’s calm as water eyes, she knew that no matter how much she persuaded him, he wouldn’t change his decision, so she could only let out a quiet sigh and said, “Then you have to be careful no matter what. ”

“Are you ready?” Feng Baichuan asked as he stood in front of the sealing formation.

“I’d like to thank Clan Chief Feng for helping me open the seal.” Yun Che nodded his head.

Feng Baichuan slowly nodded and once again reminded, “If you feel that you cannot bear it, you must come out immediately. Never try to be strong.”

After saying that, he bit through his own finger and sprinkled a droplet of blood onto the Sealing Formation. Immediately, the Sealing Formation flashed with red light, then disappeared in rapid rotation, and in front of it, a dark red strange entrance appeared, and within the entrance was pitch-black, with nothing visible to see, like a terrifying bottomless abyss.

“Ever since the ancestors discovered this trial land, no outsider has ever entered, you are the true first. This trial land can only be opened once a month, and regardless of success or failure, a person cannot enter a second time in their lifetime. Think about whether or not you want to go in again.”

Yun Che nodded and gave Lan Xueruo a reassuring look before stepping into the entrance of the Trial Land without hesitation.

The moment he stepped into the entrance, the scene in front of him suddenly twisted, and then he felt a heavenly rotation, his body flying and swinging as if he was swept up by a storm, and he subconsciously closed his eyes. It has been a while, the feeling of weightlessness slowly disappeared, he opened his eyes, and saw only pitch black.

Where is this …… place?

Why is there only a piece of pitch black? There is nothing …… Phoenix’s trial, shouldn’t it appear such as a sea of fire, lava, or something like that?

Just when he had doubts in his heart, two narrow golden rays suddenly appeared in front of the pitch black, and then, these two narrow golden rays slowly opened like two slightly squinting eyes …… Not right! That was a pair of eyes! A pair of golden eye pupils set in the pitch black space, incomparably huge.

The pupils of the Phoenix!

“Hello, human. Welcome to the land of trials. You are the first trialist without a phoenix bloodline in this millennium.”

A majestic voice resounded in his heart sea, and above the timbre, it was clearly a woman’s voice. Yun Che looked at these golden eye pupils and said tentatively, “You are the …… Phoenix Spirit?”

“That’s right. I am a wisp of indestructible soul left here by the Phoenix, yet I exist independently of the Phoenix, maintaining this place of trial and welcoming all the trialists. Spirit of the Phoenix is the most appropriate title for me.”

“Why did the phoenix leave the place of trial here?” Yun Che casually asked the question in his heart.

Yun Che casually asked the question without expecting the Spirit of the Phoenix to answer at all. To his surprise, the Spirit of the Phoenix graciously gave him an answer, “Back then, the three great Inflammatory Divine Beasts, the Phoenix, the Golden Crow, and the Vermilion Bird, fought viciously for thirty-six days for the position of the Divine Realm’s Inflammatory Ancestor, and ultimately, all three of them were injured, and the Phoenix landed on this Heavenly Xuan Continent after being severely injured, and its injuries were healed after staying on the Heavenly Xuan Continent for thirteen years. These thirteen years, the phoenix was deeply impressed that although the human beings of Tianxuan Continent had low power, but their hearts were pure and good, so it left behind two places of trial to leave a few chances for the human beings of this continent.”

“I see.”

“But the phoenix had also left behind: if the humans of the Tianxuan Continent harm the world with the power of the phoenix, they will be stripped of all their power and given a bloodline punishment! Unfortunately, a thousand years ago, there was a lineage of people who committed a heinous crime with the power of the phoenix, and were permanently stripped of their phoenix power and given a bloodline curse. Since then, no one has ever passed this trial. You, as the first person without a phoenix bloodline in this millennium, hope that you can break the silence of a thousand years here …… So, are you ready?”

“Yes, it can start at any time.” Yun Che took a long breath and his face was calm. In terms of his Xuan power alone, entering such a trial could be said to be self-defeating, but, after devouring the Evil God’s Seed of Fire, he had a body that was invulnerable to all flames, and by relying on this heaven-defying cheat, he wasn’t entirely unsure when faced with this trial from the Divine Beast of Inferno.

“Very well, there are a total of three levels in the trial, which are as follows: the first level: the Purgatory Inferno; the second level: the Phoenix’s Arrow; and the third level: the Fallen Heart Flame. If you want to give up in the middle of the trial, you can shout out at any time, and I will immediately let you leave the place of trial, forcing the trial, there will be the possibility of death …… I wish you success.”

The Phoenix Spirit’s voice fell, and the pair of golden giant pupils in the pitch-black world slowly disappeared.

While Yun Che’s eyes once again swirled in the sky, in a matter of moments, the darkness completely disappeared, and the world around him had suddenly turned a reddish color.

The scene in front of him left him frozen for a long time.

The ground under his feet was a deep red color. As if it was laid there, it was as shocking as the reddish steel that had been scorched. The ground was uneven and rocky, with high and short mountains rising and falling, and even the mountains were a crimson color, as if they might burst into sky-high flames at any moment. Raising his head, the sky was also red.

On the fiery red ground, there are clusters of embers spread around, some of them are only a few inches high, some of them even scurry up to a height of more than ten meters, and on the left and right sides, a puddle of reddish magma is churning like boiling boiling water …… depicting a horrifyingly terrifying and incomparable lava purgatory.

There was no doubt that the wind here was scorching hot, and the temperature of the air was high to a frightening degree. It was no wonder that Feng Baichuan declared defeat after supporting him for just a few breaths at the first level. With just the temperature here, a True Xuan Realm Xuanist could only barely resist it with all of his Xuan power, let alone a Xuanist who was only at the Beginning Xuan Realm.

But the temperature here only had two words for Yun Che:

Comfortable!

Comfortable like lazily soaking in warm water.
