Chapter 114 – End of the Mountain

“What are you going to do?”

When she suddenly felt the Xuan Power within Yun Che’s body flowing in a rather abnormal way, Jasmine was immediately alerted and said in a deep voice, “You’re going to forcefully comprehend the fifth and sixth realms of this Phoenix Ode to the World Canon? Are you crazy!”

“A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of me, and if I don’t try, I will never be satisfied!” Yun Che closed his eyes. His mind and thoughts completely sank into the soul imprint in the jade. This “Phoenix Ode to the World Canon” was recorded in soul imprints, and could only be read with soul power as well. If one could successfully comprehend it, then it would be truly recorded in one’s soul. And if one could not successfully comprehend it, after leaving this place, the words, images, and Xuan Force flow methods contained within it would not be remembered at all. Therefore, Yun Che’s time to comprehend this remnant scroll was only one month, and trying to memorize it and comprehend it again after finding the first four levels in the future was simply impossible.

“Without the first four realms, how are you going to comprehend the fifth and sixth realms? Without even the roots, you want to directly obtain the fruits? If you forcefully go against the path, the most likely result will be a distorted Xuan Vein, a great chaos in the meridians, and even your fully opened Xuan Passes may close one after the other.”

“Without the foundation of the first to the fourth, then I’ll build the foundation myself!” Yun Che incomparably calmly said.

“Build the foundation yourself? Do you know how many tens of thousands of years it took the Ancient Phoenix Clan to come up with this ‘Phoenix Ode to the World Canon’? After the Phoenix Ode to the World Canon was introduced, how many evolutions, changes and evolutions did it go through? You only have a month at most, yet you want to build your own foundation to directly comprehend the fifth and sixth realms?” Jasmine shook her head, “Even if you really are some kind of supreme genius, it’s impossible for you to do it!”

“At least let me try!” Yun Che obstinately whispered. Then he cut off all other consciousness, allowing himself to be completely immersed in the soul imprint of the Phoenix Ode to the World Codex ……

And at this moment, he didn’t notice, and neither did Jasmine, that underneath his tunic, above that pendant that he had worn since he was a child, a demonic light suddenly shone …… a flash.

Outside the sealing array, Blue Xue Ruo has been anxiously waiting, half an hour past …… an hour past …… six hours past …… a whole day and night past …… Her complexion, had long since become dim. Feng Baichuan’s heart also completely sank.

“This trial, will people really die?” Watching Feng Baichuan walk past once again, Lan Xueruo sidled over and asked with a godless gaze. She had already asked the same question a dozen times.

Feng Baichuan let out a long sigh inwardly and could only reluctantly comfort, “There are some clansmen who were indeed once buried in this trial. However …… however, we don’t need to be so pessimistic, perhaps little brother Yun passed the trial or maybe. Those ancestors who passed the trial, the longest stayed inside for more than ten days before coming out. So …… wait a little longer, maybe he will come out soon.”

When he said those words, Feng Baichuan, who had personally experienced the Phoenix Trial, knew very well that it was simply impossible to pass this trial with the strength of an Entry Xuan Realm level. If Yun Che hadn’t come out by now, in his opinion, the only possibility was that he had already been buried in the Trial Land. But at this moment, he could only use these words to comfort Lan Xueruo, allowing her to continue holding onto the slightest hope.

“Matriarch Feng, do you have a way for me to go inside?”

Feng Baichuan shook his head, “The Land of Trials can only enter one person a month, I have no way.”

Lan Xue Ruo bit her lips, did not speak again, stood still in front of the door of the trial, looking ahead dementedly, inwardly craving madly for the appearance of that figure …… She did not know what the hell was wrong with her, that she would secretly be anxious and gripped to such an extent that the thought that he might die in the land of trials would tear her heart out and hurt her lungs inwardly.

The outside was congested by the Black Demon Mercenary Corps, the Thousand Mile Transmission Note ran out, and the Giant Snow Eagle didn’t wake up …… none of these made her lose her head. While Yun Che didn’t come out for a whole day, it made her mind panic never able to calm down.

Two days passed …… Three days passed …… Ten days passed …… Fifteen days passed ……

Yun Che still did not appear.

And Lan Xueruo could no longer hold any illusions and had to painfully accept the fact that Yun Che had already died in the Trial Land and would never be able to come out.

These days, she had been passing through the dimness, and the stabbing pain within her heart had never been able to stop no matter the day or night. Originally, she thought that she was hurting over the loss of a “hope” that she had finally found, but when this hurt could never be calmed, and her heart was convulsing with pain at the mere thought of Yun Che’s face, she gradually became confused, because she felt that this pain had completely exceeded the scope of the pain of lamentation, but what that exceeded was, she didn’t know, because this feeling was illusory. know, because the feeling was unreal and strange.

“Damn, it’s been half a month, actually still not coming out! This cave is obviously prepared with food!”

“What’s the hurry! Even if they have more food and water, there will always be a time when they run out. Hmph, let’s see how long they can last.”

The Black Demon Mercenary Corps still didn’t leave, they were certain that there must be huge treasures inside, and two shifts of people took turns guarding it every day, without withdrawing for a moment.

The food and water sources that Yun Che had left behind for Feng Baichuan in the beginning, under Feng Baichuan’s frugal distribution, less than a third of it remained after half a month had passed. His brows were furrowed every day as he painstakingly thought about a way to escape, but in the face of the absolutely overwhelming strength outside, even though he thought through his head, there was nothing he could do, so he could only bitterly support himself.

Twenty days passed …… Twenty five days passed ……

One month passed.

Under the cover of the Sealing Formation, after the Phoenix Legacy Clan had struggled to support themselves for an entire month, they finally reached the point of exhaustion.

The spatial ring that Yun Che had handed over to Feng Baichuan had been completely empty two days ago, with not a single grain of food or drop of water left in it. Adults with low level Xuan Power in their bodies could still barely support themselves, while the elderly and children collapsed one by one amidst hunger, thirst and the fear that had never dissipated, and once they fell unconscious, they could no longer cry out to wake up.

Feng Baichuan’s eye sockets had sunk deep, he sat in the cold corner, a deep sense of powerlessness and despair suffocating him. To this point, he no longer knows where to go next …… Continue to stay here, their whole clan will be starved to death, and leave here, those vicious thieves outside will kill them all …… Maybe they will also be because they can not hand over the so called Treasure and to them all kinds of destruction and abuse, the death is even more miserable.

“People inside give me a good listen. As long as you come out obediently and then hand over the treasure and that woman, we can guarantee that men, women, and children, none of them will be touched, and that you will definitely not enter this place again in the future.”

“What a bunch of stupid fellows, what good will it do for you guys to just tough it out? You don’t care about your own lives, do you even care about the lives of your own families and children? Sooner or later it’s a death in there, come out obediently and surrender, then fulfill our conditions, we guarantee that none of you will die, and we’ll also let you all have a good meal first!”

As everyone was despairing, the shouts of the Black Demon mercenaries were becoming more and more irresistible in their ears. At this time, an aged old man stood up tremblingly and said, “Patriarch, they are right, sooner or later we will all starve to death here, at this point, there is simply no point in hiding any longer, it’s better to go out and surrender, they might be like what they said themselves, and won’t harm us.”

“No way!” Feng Baichuan, however, shook his head and said grimly, “You all should have felt it before, they all have more or less hostile auras floating on them. This is completely a gang of vicious people who don’t take life seriously at all, if we go out, we will only die even more miserably, and we will also suffer a lot of humiliation. Hold on for a while longer …… Miss Xue Ruo said that her contracted spirit beast is about to wake up, and at that time, we will have the hope of being saved. And even if we still have to die in the end …… I would rather choose to starve to death than die in humiliation!”

“Zu’er~~ Xian’er!!!”

As soon as Feng Baichuan’s words fell, Feng Caiyun’s heart-rending cries suddenly rang out. Feng Baichuan fiercely stood up and pounced to his wife Feng Caiyun’s body in front of him …… while Feng Zu’er and Feng Xian’er passed out in Feng Caiyun’s arms, their faces pale with wax, and no matter how much Feng Caiyun shouted, they were unresponsive.

“Zu’er, Xian’er ……” Feng Baichuan’s fingertips seeped blood, his eyes contained tears, raised his hand and slapped his head hard, desperate and almost fainted.

Lan Xue Ruo, who had been cowering in the corner, slowly stood up. Perhaps the overdraft was too much, it had been a month, and the Giant Snow Eagle still hadn’t woken up. At this point, she knew that if she didn’t think of anything else, she would not be able to last a single day.

“Matriarch Feng, please open the sealing formation outside for now, I’ll go out and grab some food in.”

Hearing Lan Xueruo’s words, Feng Baichuan was stunned, then quickly shook his head, “No way! It’s too dangerous, there are so many people outside, how can you snatch food from them.”

Lan Xueruo’s eyes were firm as she said, “After all, I have True Xuan Realm’s Xuan power, as long as those few True Xuan Realm leaders of theirs are not around, it is not yet dangerous. Right now, the children can’t support themselves anymore, if they don’t get some food, they will ……

Feng Baichuan’s lips moved, looking at the unconscious Feng Zu’er and Feng Xian’er, he finally nodded his head and bitterly said, “Miss Lan, then you must be careful …… We have so many big men here who can’t do anything about it, but we can only have you, a daughter’s family, risking such a danger for us, it’s really ……”

“Feng patriarch don’t need to say that, I believe that if Feng patriarch has enough power, he must be the first one to go out …… Immediately close the sealing array, and then open it immediately after I go out, and after I get the food, I will use my voice to inform you to close the sealing array again.”

Although it was accompanied by an extremely high risk, this seemed to have become the only tentative plan in a desperate situation. Feng Baichuan stood at the entrance of the cave, biting through his mouth and spilling drops of blood onto the sealing array, worrying, “Be careful!”

In the midst of Feng Baichuan’s voice, the red-colored sealing array flickered with light and then slowly disappeared, Lan Xueruo’s long sword was in her hand, her body instantly swept up a swift white shadow and shot outwards.
