The group quickly headed towards the sacrificial hall.

On the way, they also encountered an attack by a polluted alien beast, a slightly polluted medium-level warrior race called the Bamboo Wolf, which was also a wild supernatural race living in Phoenix Mountain.

Compared to the red-feathered eagle that was like a white paper painted with ink just now, only the head and back of this bamboo wolf were affected. Clusters of strange ink-like substances appeared on its body, as if a higher-dimensional being had used an ink pen to paint these parts, covering the original structure with ink.

The history textbooks did not describe in detail what the source of the [Beast Chaos] pollution was like, and people had never thought that they would encounter such a strange scene.

To explain in Jing Heng's words, the pollution caused by Star Evil is similar to the concept of unknown radiation in modern science. These ink-like substances originate from the energy cluster structure generated by [chaos].

The pollution caused by chaos radiation will shake the existence of extraordinary creatures in this dimension. Once deeply polluted, it is not surprising to turn them into strange forms of existence.

These pollutions are spread based on hidden energy. The extraordinary creatures in the secret realm are the first to be affected, followed by the beastmasters. At this stage, it will not affect ordinary people who have not awakened.

After traveling quickly all the way, everyone finally arrived at the location of the sacrificial hall.

The formerly magnificent Phoenix Temple had mostly collapsed from the inside, with flames burning everywhere and chaos all around. People kept rushing out of the sea of ​​fire with their pets, and there were also more extraordinary creatures contaminated by the Chaos Ink.

Not only the native creatures of Phoenix Mountain, but also deeply polluted strange beasts appeared out of nowhere and kept emerging in the flames.

Flame patterns of the [Burning Blood] talent appeared around Wen Li's body, and she rushed into the sea of ​​fire with Flame Attack Cat, facing the flames of the temple.

Mu Huoyue followed closely behind, and the surging shadow wrapped her into the shadow space and moved into the interior of the temple.

A huge red flame bird was lying here, its feathers still burning, but many parts of its body were stained with ink.

"Mom!" Wen Li saw Wen Lin Chuanqi who was holding up the head of the Red Flame Bird and using her [Burning Blood] talent to heal the contracted pet.

"Xiao Li?!"

Wen Lin Chuanqi, who was able to remain calm in the face of sudden changes, lost her composure for a moment when she saw her daughter.

Wen Li is the person who should not be on Phoenix Mountain at this moment. Why is she here?

The rift between mother and daughter was insignificant in the face of a life-and-death crisis. Wen Li was about to step forward but was stopped by her mother.

"Don't come over! You can't get close to me now, and don't get close to A Yan." Wen Lin Chuanqi shook his head seriously, and Wen Li stopped subconsciously.

The Vermilion Flame Bird held in her arms had its eyes closed, ink flowing from the roots of its feathers, and Wen Lin Chuanqi's hands also showed signs of being stained black by chaos.

Wen Li stopped where she was, wanting to go forward but not daring to. She bit her lip and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Why are you crying at this time?" Wen Lin Chuanqi said harshly, but her tone was gentle. She looked at her bewildered daughter, who was not at all panicked even in such a situation.

"I know that with your level of sacrificial writing, it is impossible for you to unlock the [Burning Ashes Seal]. Who else entered Phoenix Mountain with you? Xiaoli, did you meet the investigator from the Affairs Bureau?" Wen Lin Chuanqi asked softly.

If a high-level secret realm in the flashing period unexpectedly appears, the Bureau will send at least one A-level investigator, let alone within the Phoenix Mountain.

"I'm with—"

Before Wen Li finished speaking, Mu Huiyue, Xiang Xun, and the tall Jing Heng appeared inside the temple together.

Seeing the miserable state of the Red Flame Bird, the Xia Wang Sword beside Jing Heng instantly split into four sword shadows, wrote several witchcraft spells in the air, and fell beside Wen Lin Legend and the Red Flame Bird.

"This is a spell that isolates you from the outside. Don't worry about the Star Evil in you spreading outward." Jing Heng's voice sounded, "Your judgment was very accurate. You activated the [Burning Embers Seal] immediately. The area outside Phoenix Mountain has not been contaminated by chaos yet."

Wen Lin Chuanqi slowly widened his eyes, "You are..."

The witch priest clan was stationed in Phoenix Mountain because of the imperial decree of King Jing Heng of Xia six hundred years ago. As the great witch priest of this generation, Wen Lin, naturally, knew the legends of Jing Heng and Ru Meng from his ancestors.

I just didn't expect to have the chance to actually meet him.

"I'm Jing Heng." The tall young man smiled and said, "The contaminated part of the Vermillion Flame Bird has flowed to you through the contract. Don't try to purify it with [Burning Blood]. The power of chaos will shake the cause and effect of all things that exist. Strengthen your self-awareness and strengthen the connection in reality."

"For example, your daughter, and your responsibility to protect Phoenix Mountain."

The gentle and beautiful middle-aged woman closed her eyes at the sound of Jing Heng. She gave up the burning and purifying effect brought by the [Burning Blood] talent, and instead strengthened the light attribute part of the contract with the Red Flame Bird, using the power of rules to enhance her self-perception.

Before long, the blackened parts of her hands that were stained by chaos faded a lot.

Wen Li breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. At least there was a chance that this [pollution] could be slowed down or purified.

Unfortunately, the method of using strong and solid self-awareness to consolidate one's own cause and effect is only applicable to human beastmasters. Pets are usually more dependent on the existence of contracts. Right now, the Crimson Flame Bird can only try its best to maintain the [Burning Ash Seal] covering Phoenix Mountain, and has no spare energy to resist the invasion of chaotic aura.

"Lord Jing Heng." Wen Lin Chuanqi bowed slightly to him as a thank you for the purification method just now.

Jing Heng waved his hand and said, "The situation is urgent, so I'll make it short. Was the abnormal flame flash phenomenon that occurred on the top of the mountain caused by the appearance of the Sun Phoenix?"

Wen Lin Chuanqi shook his head slightly, then nodded: "...That is the Nirvana Flame of the Sun Phoenix."

This time even Jing Heng showed a look of surprise.

According to legend, the Phoenix clan undergoes nirvana and is reborn from the ashes once every thousand years, but this is only a general concept.

In fact, that is the Sun Phoenix's unique super S-level light state skill [Nirvana]. The detailed skill effect is unknown. Jing Heng only knows that the Great Flame Guardian has such a powerful extraordinary skill.

"One hundred years ago, the Sun Phoenix God left an oracle during the sacrifice, saying that he would be reborn in Nirvana at the end of the day. Phoenix Mountain has been preparing for this moment." Wen Lin Chuanqi said.

"I never thought that on the day of Nirvana that finally arrived, there would be the advent of a secret realm and unknown pollution at the same time..."

The Sun Phoenix has indeed not appeared in Dayan for nearly a hundred years. It has gradually transformed from a patron saint that actually existed in history to a symbol of Dayan's spirit and culture.

Jing Heng fell into deep thought. If the Sun Phoenix had a premonition of the day of Nirvana, then could the secret realm that had just descended upon him and the reappearance of pollution be a coincidence?

An important part seemed to be missing in the long memory of six hundred years. Jing Heng let out a sigh of relief. There was no real "coincidence" in this world. Everything had its own mystery, just like he happened to come to Phoenix Mountain at this moment.

He looked at Wen Lin Chuanqi, whose condition had improved slightly, and asked, "Where is the source of the pollution?"

The red flame bird in Wen Lin Chuanqi's arms opened its eyes, and a corner of the sea of ​​fire burning in the sacrificial hall was extinguished, revealing a blocked area.

There was a space rift as deep as an abyss suspended there, from which an inky aura of chaos continuously leaked, along with all kinds of polluted beasts.

Most of the strange beasts were silently burned to death by the flames set by the Red Flame Bird when they landed on the ground.

He was very familiar with the aura of chaos. Jing Heng pinched his brows and said, "It is indeed the "Outer Star Sea"..."

When Mu Chuyue heard this familiar name, she also found it a little unbelievable. She asked: "Senior Jing Heng, do you think that this sudden secret realm... is the "Outer Star Sea"? ”

This is one of the few super S-level secret realms that have been recorded in the affairs bureau database. The master of the secret realm is presumed to be an unidentified mythological race [Star Eclipse Sky Evil], who is also the source of releasing the Star Evil, creating polluted beasts, and causing beast chaos and natural disasters.

If there really is an "outer star sea" behind this connection point, doesn't that mean that the natural disaster that once destroyed most of the land of Da Yan is about to come back?

Moreover, the "outer star sea" that descended in history was not conquered by the army of King Jing Heng of Xia...

Mu Shuyue suddenly understood, "It's the Flash Stage Secret Realm..."

"You've already thought of the key point." Jing Heng glanced at her, "That's right, in the last natural disaster, we didn't really defeat the [Star Eclipse Sky Evil]. The pollution caused by the Star Evil alone has made life miserable for the people of Da Yan."

"Relying on the purification of the Phoenix Fire of the Sun God Phoenix and the Wuji Clan, we figured out that the essence of the Star Evil originated from the Breath of Chaos. We found a method to restore our self-awareness, gradually eliminated those polluted beasts that could not be restored, and bit by bit took back our homeland."

“But the reason why we were able to launch a successful counterattack was because the biggest threat, the Outer Star Sea, along with the Lord of the Secret Realm, disappeared during the flash period. ”

The secret realm of the flashing period will appear randomly at any time and any place. The first flashing period of "Outer Star Sea" was the Great Yan six hundred years ago, and the second flashing period appeared in the Phoenix Mountain in front of us. It is possible to happen from a probability perspective alone.

Hearing this, Wen Lin Chuanqi lowered his gaze to the contracted pet in his arms and said, "...The current Phoenix Fire can no longer purify the pollution caused by the Star Evil."

Not only is it impossible to purify, there is even a risk of being contaminated in turn.

"This is another thing that puzzles me. Perhaps it is related to the nirvana of the Sun Phoenix." Jing Heng said.

He then turned to Mu Shuyue and Xiang Xun, "The secret realm investigation mission ends here. You two must leave Phoenix Mountain and report the current situation to the Affairs Bureau. If you have the energy to spare, help strengthen the [Burning Embers Sealing Realm] and do not let the pollution of the Star Evil leak out."

"What does Senior Jing Heng plan to do?" Mu Liuyue asked.

“I will enter the ‘Outer Star Sea’ to search for the Sun Phoenix after its nirvana. "Jing Heng's voice paused," If we want to eliminate the pollution caused by the Star Evil, its help is indispensable. Besides, I have an idea that I want to verify. This is why I think it is in the secret realm. ”

The tall young man recalled the ancient long sword and said, "The super S-level secret realm is too dangerous for you. I will enter alone."

Mu Chuyue wanted to say something, but suddenly out of the corner of her eye she noticed that the connection point of the "Outer Star Sea" seemed to have grown larger.

What was originally a chasm-like gap was now gradually widening and turning into a star wheel that twisted clockwise.

There was no time to make any sound as the strong feeling of dizziness and weightlessness instantly gripped all of Mu Chuyue's senses.
