There must be something special hidden under this platform, or there must be another space. But as Jasmine said, it is impossible for him to break this platform with his strength.
Yun Che looked around but didn't find anything like a switch, so he gave up and walked up the stone stairs again.
The stone staircase was very long, and Yun Che walked for a long time before he was only halfway there.
"Who are you…………"
Yun Che’s footsteps suddenly stopped and he quickly turned around to look around: “Who? Who is talking!?”
“Ah…Brother Yun, what’s wrong with you?” Feng Xue’er, who was quietly lying in his arms, was startled by him and asked in panic.
Yun Che glanced around, his mind focused on his ears. He whispered, “Xue’er, did you hear any sound just now?”
“Just now?” Feng Xue’er shook her head in confusion.
Just now, Yun Che clearly heard an extremely faint voice. The voice was very weak, as if it was a woman’s voice, and it was particularly ethereal, so that he could not tell which direction the voice came from. Or... could it be an illusion?
“Jasmine, did you hear that voice just now?” Yun Che asked with a frown.
"Not at all." Jasmine replied: "What did you hear?"
“…” Even Jasmine didn’t hear it, which made Yun Che doubt whether he had just heard an auditory hallucination. He collected his thoughts and stood quietly in the same place, scanning the surroundings for a long time, but he didn’t hear any sound anymore.
Yun Che continued to walk up the stone stairs. After a long time, he finally arrived at the second floor of the ancient castle.
The dark blue walls, dark blue floor and ceiling, everything was exactly the same as the first floor. Yun Che did not continue to go up, but walked straight to an open stone door.
Behind the stone gate, there was unexpectedly a neat and simple place that resembled a courtyard. There were stone tables, stone benches, and many blackish-blue earthenware jars, most of which were already broken. Behind the courtyard, there were seven or eight regularly distributed rooms. Yun Che walked in, stood in front of the stone door of one of the rooms, and tried to push it with his hand.
Suddenly, a small mysterious formation the size of a palm appeared on the right side of the stone gate. As the mysterious formation rotated, the stone gate slowly opened automatically.
"The doors here should all be set up with this kind of profound formation to facilitate opening and blocking. However, the profound power of these small profound formations is already very weak, and even you can easily destroy them. But it is extremely rare that they can exist from ancient times to the present. The strength of the people who set up these profound formations is by no means ordinary." Jasmine said seriously.
"This place looks like a place for living." Yun Che walked into the stone room, which contained a stone table, two stone benches, a stone shelf similar to a cabinet, and a large enough stone bed. The layout of the other rooms should be roughly the same. This ancient castle is so huge that if it is used for living, it is estimated that all the people from the entire Blue Wind Nation can stay here.
Yun Che turned around and found that behind the stone door, there was a small profound formation flickering slightly, appearing and disappearing from time to time. Its location was the same as the profound formation that appeared when Yun Che pushed the door. It should be the same profound formation, but it can only be seen from the inside. From the outside, it can only be seen when touching the stone door.
“Try using your profound energy to activate this profound formation.” Jasmine suddenly said.
Yun Che followed his instructions and stretched out his palm, sending a stream of neither strong nor weak profound energy towards the profound formation. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the originally open stone door suddenly closed at an extremely fast speed.
“As expected.” Jasmine said, “If you trigger this profound formation from the inside, you can completely lock the stone door, so that it can only be opened from the inside, and cannot be opened from the outside. It is very suitable for self-defense. In ancient times, all kinds of demons and monsters were rampant, and this basic means of self-defense should be very common. However, if someone destroys the profound formation from the outside, you will be sealed inside.”
“Xue’er, let’s take a break.”
Yun Che walked to the stone bed, and then sat down against the wall. With his mind relaxed, the feeling of exhaustion came over him like a flood. He did not let go of Feng Xue'er, but changed his position and still held her in his arms... He could easily take out the quilt from the Sky Poison Pearl and spread it on the stone bed, and then let Feng Xue'er lie on it, but he was obviously reluctant to do so. Because the feeling of hugging Princess Snow like this is enough to make any man obsessed and unwilling to let go.
"Who are you……"
Yun Che, who had just sat down, shuddered slightly all over and raised his head. If the first time was a possible illusion or hallucination, then this time, Yun Che definitely didn't think it was an illusion! He heard the voice just now clearly... It was exactly the same voice as before.
“Who are you? Who is talking to me?” Yun Che gathered his spirit and shouted loudly. How could there be a woman’s voice in this towering castle that suddenly appeared in the Primordial Profound Ark, a place left over from ancient times that Jasmine was sure was devoid of any living creatures?
"Did you hear the sound again?" Jasmine asked in surprise.
Since Jasmine asked this, it naturally meant that she still didn't hear the voice this time. This also meant that... only Yun Che himself could hear that voice, and that voice was only transmitted to Yun Che.
Yun Che was silent for a long time, and he did not hear that voice again. He frowned and said, “There must be someone in this ancient castle! It’s just that she should be very far away from me, but she can know my existence.”
“If it’s not your illusion, then it can only be a remnant soul.” Jasmine said slowly.
"Residual soul?"
Jasmine's voice was very calm, as if she was already accustomed to such things as "remnant souls". "And it should be an extremely weak remnant soul, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult for her to even make a soul sound. You don't have to look for her. Since she is willing to consume her weak soul power to talk to you, it means that she seems to be very interested in you and will take the initiative to talk to you again. You didn't get a response, it must be that her soul power is so weak that she has to wait a long time before she can say the second sentence after saying each sentence."
“Brother Yun, is there… anyone else?” Feng Xue’er raised her head in Yun Che’s arms and asked softly.
Yun Che shook his head: “No, I just seemed to hear some sound. Xue’er, you must be very tired, take a good rest. No one can find us where we are now.”
Feng Xue'er shook her head gently: "I'm not tired... Brother Yun is the one who is very tired."
“I just need to rest for a while, and I’ll be able to recover.” Yun Che said with a smile. With the body of a dragon god and the power of the Great Dao Buddha, his profound strength and physical strength recovery speed was several times faster than that of an average person.
The two of them fell silent. After several hours of escaping without stopping, their hearts finally settled down. Yun Che could finally feel the soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms. Holding Princess Snow gently like this was perhaps a dream scene that all men dared not even dream of. Princess Snow lay on his chest like a docile kitten, without struggle or rejection, only peace.
“Xue’er, has the Phoenix God of your Divine Phoenix Sect really passed away?” Yun Che asked softly. Jasmine had told him the answer to this question, and Ye Xinghan and Feng Feiyan’s words had further proved it.
Feng Xue'er was silent for a while, then nodded gently: "Three years ago, Master Phoenix passed away. Sixteen years ago, Master Phoenix chose me after I was born because he knew that his life was coming to an end and he needed a successor with sufficient qualifications. I followed Master Phoenix for thirteen years and received all of Master Phoenix's inheritance... his source power, soul power, all of his phoenix blood, and all of his memories."
Feng Xue'er's words made Yun Che suddenly realize... No wonder she was only sixteen years old, but she had the strength of a half-step emperor. No wonder she could easily identify his bloodline and was so clear about the grudge between the two Phoenix spirits. Although the Phoenix God of the Phoenix Sect died, he passed on all his source power, soul power and even memories to Feng Xue'er! Feng Xue'er's starting point was frighteningly high. Her growth speed and the heights she could reach in the future would undoubtedly be shocking.
It was no wonder that Feng Xue'er had such a high status in the Phoenix Divine Sect. She had inherited everything from the Phoenix God. When Feng Xue'er fully grew up, she would clearly be the second Phoenix God of the Phoenix Divine Sect! As for the future Phoenix God, the Phoenix Divine Sect would naturally protect her to the utmost! There would be no possibility that she would die before she grew up.
"Only my father, the great elder, my prince brother, my grandfather, my great grandfather, and I knew about the death of the Phoenix God. My father said that this was the biggest secret of our sect and must not be leaked to anyone, not even to people in the same sect. However, in the second year, the four holy places kept sending messages to test the Phoenix God, as if they all knew that the Phoenix God was gone. My father was also very angry and puzzled, and he had been guessing that it might be because the holy places could not sense the aura of the Phoenix God that they tested him... I didn't expect it to be..."
Feng Xue'er's voice was very sad. She still hadn't recovered from the betrayal of the Great Elder, and at the same time, she couldn't help but worry about the future of the Phoenix Sect. Without the deterrence of the Phoenix God, the Phoenix Sect would definitely struggle under the reckless suppression of the Four Sacred Grounds. For five thousand years, the Phoenix Sect was able to develop so rapidly under the watchful eyes of the Four Sacred Grounds, and had the momentum to reach the level of a Sacred Ground. The existence of the Phoenix God was the only reason.
Yun Che sighed in his heart, but he was not too surprised. In any power, the most likely to have disloyalty are usually those who are above tens of millions of people and below one or a few people, because these people know the most, are closest to the top position, and even have insight into all the advantages and disadvantages of the entire power. Therefore, at a certain appropriate time, it is extremely easy for them to have disloyalty. If the Phoenix Divine Sect continued to be so powerful, Feng Feiyan's disloyalty might not awaken until his death, but with the disappearance of the Phoenix God, he was worried about the future of the Phoenix Divine Sect, and also worried about his own future. After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to surrender to the Sun Moon Divine Palace as soon as possible.
If Yun Che and Xia Yuanba had not been present, he would have helped Ye Xinghan achieve his goal. Feng Xue'er, who was the greatest hope of the Divine Phoenix Sect, would have fallen into Ye Xinghan's hands, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
“It’s okay. This is as good as it gets. Not only did they fail this time, but they were completely exposed. Otherwise, the later they are exposed, the more dangerous it will be.” Yun Che consoled him.
“Hmm…” Feng Xue’er responded softly, “It’s all because of Brother Yun. If it weren’t for Brother Yun, I would have… already… after my father knew about this, he would definitely be very grateful to Brother Yun.”
“It’s good that your father doesn’t want to kill me anymore.” Yun Che smiled. He didn’t believe that Feng Hengkong let Feng Feiyan act alone just to protect Feng Xue’er. Killing him must be one of the purposes. But he changed his mind again… After knowing what happened today, Feng Hengkong must be under more pressure. There is also the possibility of breaking up with Sun Moon Divine Hall. At that time, he might not have the heart to hunt him down.
“The four great holy places have now all known about the death of the Phoenix God. They should also all know that you have inherited the body of the Phoenix God. Ye Xinghan has intentions towards you. The other three holy places may also target you.” Yun Che closed his eyes, feeling distressed and worried. “It’s just that my strength is still too weak after all. I simply don’t have the ability to protect you. Otherwise… I might just snatch you away from your father and make it impossible for the people in your sect and holy places to find you.”
“Hee…” Feng Xue’er smiled broadly, “Brother Yun wants to protect me so much, I’m so happy… If it was Brother Yun who wanted to snatch me away, I might not resist.”
“That’s what Xue’er said herself!” Yun Che also laughed: “If one day I really want to snatch Xue’er away, Xue’er must not allow it…”
“Heavenly…poison…pearl…”
Yun Che's words suddenly stopped, and the mysterious and ethereal female voice rang out for the third time. This time, she no longer asked "Who are you?", but clearly...
Sky Poison Pearl!?
