Seeing that some of the prodigies looked indifferent, the Fire Phoenix Clan Chief didn't explain much, but simply said, "I have already discussed this with your clan chiefs. If anyone gets burned by the Sacred Flame, my Fire Phoenix Clan will not be responsible."
The expressions of the mythical beasts changed in different ways, and many of them began to fill in the blanks with the implied meaning of those words.
The Fire Phoenix Clan Chief then announced the start of the second assessment, which would also last for three days. The participating prodigies entered the Fire Phoenix Clan's sacred ground one by one, but they were more cautious than when they entered the Silver Dragon Clan's sacred ground.
After entering the sacred land of the Fire Phoenix Clan, Dongfang Mian and the others still split up. This time, Aju's goal was very clear: the sacred land of the Fire Phoenix Clan's patriarch. He firmly believed that his memories were stored separately in the sacred lands of the four major races. As for why, he couldn't say for sure yet, but he thought that the truth would come out after he regained his memories.
Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin continued to be responsible for searching for clues about the artifact fragments and finding enough badges to help their team pass the level.
"I feel like I'm doing that guy's bidding," Yan Lin said, watching A-Ju's retreating figure.
“They’re all our own kids, why make such a big deal about who we’re working for?” Dongfang Mian said.
"Kid? Do you even know how old that guy is?" Yan Lin said helplessly.
"How old is he? Hmm, Aju seems to have said that he has been trapped in the lower realm for countless years, so at most he's ten thousand years old. That's not considered very old among divine beasts, right? Besides, Aju usually acts and speaks like a child," Dongfang Mian said.
"What a ten-thousand-year-old child..." Yan Lin suddenly felt speechless.
Before Dongfang Mian could reply, Yan Lin continued, "If we calculate based on the current years, I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Feng Qianxun is about the same age as me. When I was young, when Aju was a few hundred years old but less than a thousand years old, he was very famous in the Three Realms. But when I met him later, I found that he seemed to be a big fool."
"Um, excuse me for interrupting, but I have a question. You call someone a thousand years old 'childhood' here, so what do you usually call someone our age?" Dongfang Mian asked quietly.
Yan Lin was unexpectedly silent for a while before saying, "I don't know either. In the past, someone your age and strength wouldn't have been qualified to appear before me."
Uh... there's a saying, something like, "to bring shame upon oneself."
Dongfang Mian stopped dwelling on these things and instead thought about Yan Lin's words. Aju used to be very famous in the Three Realms and was much older than Yan Lin and Feng Qianxun. Logically speaking, she couldn't possibly be a simple-minded fool.
Something must have happened that even Ah Ju had forgotten.
Hopefully, after this, Ah Ju will regain her memories and they will be able to learn about what happened back then.
Shaking her head to clear the jumbled thoughts from her mind, Dongfang Mian began to survey the entire Fire Phoenix Clan Holy Land.
The entire holy land was scorched and cracked, and the air was filled with a sweltering heat. Every now and then, a burst of holy fire would erupt from the cracks in the ground.
“This is really dangerous,” Dongfang Mian said. There’s no need to set up any other obstacles. Even if you just throw the pass badge on the ground, no one would dare to pick it up.
Just then, a scream came from not far away. Dongfang Mian looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a prodigy from one of the four races had accidentally been touched by the gushing holy fire. In just a few breaths, he was burned to ashes and scattered in the wind.
This scene greatly stimulated the nerves of each divine beast, and for a moment everyone stood still, afraid to move.
