Chapter 75 The Palace Bell Rings
"What's wrong?" Zhao Qingtian looked at them in confusion. At this moment, a heat wave came from behind him, as if it was going to swallow him up.
He looked back, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw that the weak flame was expanding at an extremely fast speed, and a huge fireball slowly appeared in front of everyone.
The flames that shot up into the sky lit up the entire forest, and the surrounding trees were reduced to ashes in an instant.
"W-What's going on?"
Zhao Qingtian stepped back and exclaimed in shock, "What the hell is that thing?"
"You are not worthy enough to kill our Lord!" An illusory voice rang out, and a strong pressure filled the sky. The hearts of the people in the Jinshui Gang trembled violently, and they stammered, "It can talk! It, it can actually talk!"
"Holy beast! Oh my god! It's a holy beast!"
"Run! Run! Run!"
The Jinshui Gang rolled and crawled as they ran in the other direction.
"Hmph!" A cold snort sounded, and the fat bird spread its wings. A golden light flashed, and a big bird with a golden tail appeared in the sky. It flapped its wings, and countless fireballs attacked the Jinshui Gang.
And that huge fireball flew towards Zhao Qingtian.
All the grass and trees along the way were charred black, and a destructive energy spread between heaven and earth.
In a distant palace, the palace bell that had been silent for nearly ten thousand years suddenly rang, and all the elders in the palace appeared.
"Why did the palace bell suddenly ring?" an old man in white exclaimed in surprise, "The phoenix was shattered along with the palace master in that great war between heaven and earth. How could it suddenly ring?"
"The palace bell was once tied around the neck of the phoenix. It was forged by the Palace Master using a phoenix feather and a drop of her own blood. Normally, no matter how you swing it, the bell won't ring. It only rings when the phoenix appears." The old man standing in the front said excitedly, "I know. It must be the phoenix's reincarnation! During the war between heaven and earth, the Palace Master cast a spell at the last moment. Perhaps it was to allow it to enter reincarnation."
"Great! If the phoenix is reincarnated, we should quickly find it. The young palace master doesn't have a contracted beast yet. If we can form a contract with it, it will definitely greatly increase the young palace master's spiritual power! The strength of our Ganxuan Palace will also increase greatly!"
The leading white-robed elder nodded: "That's right, but the Young Palace Master has only awakened three spiritual veins. I'm afraid the Phoenix Divine Beast is unwilling to recognize its master."
When everyone heard this, they fell silent.
"The Palace Master once awakened four spiritual veins, and was the person with the most complete spiritual vein awakening in our Ganxuan Palace. Now, the Young Palace Master has awakened the metal, wood, and earth spiritual veins. The Phoenix Divine Beast has a fire spiritual vein. If we can form a contract with it, we might be able to force the fire spiritual vein to open. If so, the Young Palace Master will be no different from the Palace Master." The Third Elder Gan Xu said in a low voice: "Grand Elder, since the Palace Master's death, our Qingxuan Palace has fallen into decline. If we can get the Phoenix Divine Beast to return to Ganxuan Palace, we may be able to regain our position as the leader of the four palaces."
The Great Elder Gan An nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I will personally go and look for the Phoenix Divine Beast. You all will guard the Gan Xuan Palace."
"yes!"
The next moment, the figure of the Great Elder disappeared from the spot.
Second Elder Qian Yuan looked at the palace bell and murmured, "If it is really the Phoenix beast that has escaped into reincarnation, will the Palace Master also..."
"Back then, the Palace Master burned her soul to protect us, leaving herself no chance of survival. The final curse was cast on the phoenix, destined to perish with it. If the phoenix truly reincarnates, it would be the Palace Master's curse that worked. But she was so determined to kill me back then, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to be brought back to life." Gan Xu sighed, "Ultimately, it's us who are useless."
Just then, a woman in gorgeous clothes came over.
"Two elders."
Gan Xu and Qian Yuan looked at Qing Xuan and bowed slightly: "Young Palace Master."
"Why are the two elders here?" Qingxuan looked at Gong Ling: "Are the elders still reminiscing about the battle?" She stretched out her hand, and her fingers just touched the Gong Ling, but the scorching temperature made her retract her hand.
"Why is this palace bell so hot?" She is now a powerful spiritual master, with spiritual power protecting her body, and ordinary temperature will not hurt her at all.
Upon hearing this, the two elders asked anxiously, "Young Palace Master, you said this palace bell is hot?"
"Yes, this temperature is probably even hotter than the flame in Elder Gan An's alchemy furnace."
The two of them had happy expressions on their faces. If that was the case, maybe it really was the reincarnation of a phoenix.
"What good news do you two elders have? Why are you so happy?"
Just as Gan Xu was about to explain the reason, he heard Qian Yuan smile and say, "It's not a big deal. I just remembered the past of us old men. Has the young master's spiritual power improved recently?"
Qingxuan smiled and waved his hand, and a beam of spiritual light slowly emerged in his palm.
"Lingxuan five stars, not bad." Qian Yuan smiled: "Young Palace Master has good talent."
Not hearing the expected compliment, Qingxuan's smile faltered, and he immediately said with a smile, "Qingxuan knows that his talent is far behind the Palace Master's. I wonder what level of cultivation the Palace Master had reached when he was Qingxuan's age?"
"The Palace Master's talent is self-evident. When she was your age, she was already a powerful Spirit Lord." Gan Xu patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "The Palace Master was once the most powerful person in our Ganxuan Palace to awaken her spiritual veins. You are only two hundred years old now, and you still have a long way to go."
"Yes, Qingxuan has learned the lesson. I will definitely practice diligently in the future and catch up with the Palace Master as soon as possible."
“Don’t be too hard on yourself, just do your best.”
"yes."
After Ganxu and the other two left, the smile on Qingxuan's face suddenly disappeared.
Her gaze fell on Gong Ling, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "Spiritual Lord, sooner or later, I will also become a Spiritual Lord."
The maidservant beside her said softly, "Young Palace Master, your cultivation is already the strongest among the younger generation of Qingxuan Palace. Sooner or later, you will definitely become the Palace Master."
"Of course." Qing Xuan raised his chin: "Let's go to Burning Heaven Abyss. I want to practice in seclusion."
"yes."
After she left, the figures of Gan Xu and the other person slowly emerged.
"Why did you stop me just now?"
"You should understand the Young Palace Master's personality. She's extremely competitive. Whether the Phoenix has truly been reincarnated, and if so, whether it has contracted a new master, is still unknown. If I rashly tell her about this, given her arrogant nature, the other contracted beasts will definitely look down on me, and that could cause unnecessary trouble."
Hearing him say this, Gan Xu nodded: "You are really thoughtful. I actually forgot about this matter."
Qian Yuan glanced at him and said, "So you can only be the third elder."
