Finally, she could no longer bear it and lost her footing, falling down again.
It was like falling off a cliff, much like a bird that had lost its wings, crashing heavily to the ground from the sky.
However, just as Lu Fuyue was about to violently collide with the ground, a survival instinct erupted.
A wisp of the Fire Phoenix bloodline power that had been sealed within Lu Fuyue's body broke out and quickly traveled to her back.
She felt a burning sensation on her back, and suddenly a pair of enormous golden-red phoenix wings appeared out of thin air from Lu Fuyue's back, carrying her safely to the ground.
...
After a long while, Lu Fuyue turned her head to look at the wings that had grown on her body and fell completely silent.
These are extremely beautiful phoenix wings, with wisps of phoenix flame flowing as they are flapped, and each feather is extremely smooth and bright.
It even contains a tremendous power, which, if used properly, can be used as a weapon and a means of escape.
Isn't this a place devoid of spirits? Why can these wings appear here?
Lu Fuyue was puzzled, but then she suddenly remembered the fire phoenix statue on the mountaintop and understood immediately.
It seems that this place of spiritual desolation was left behind by the master of the phoenix feathers, and only the wings of the fire phoenix clan can be used here.
So, is it only the wings of the Fire Phoenix that allow one to fly to the top of this mountain?
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips and tried to activate the wings on her back, slowly taking flight.
But after a long time, the wings kept flapping, but she didn't move and remained in the same place.
A hint of confusion flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes. How could this be?
Just now, when she was about to land, those wings were enough for her to fly.
Could it be... that she forgot something?
Lu Fuyue slowly closed her eyes and began to recall the details of when she fell, trying to figure out how to use the wings.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she immediately understood.
It's probably because she didn't consider those wings as part of her body that she was unable to fly.
After finding the cause, Lu Fuyue tried it several times, and as she expected, her guess was correct.
Soon, propelled by the phoenix's wings, Lu Fuyue gradually left the ground and flew towards the mountaintop.
In a short while, she landed in front of the fire phoenix statue on the mountaintop. The stone sculpture was very tall, like a small mountain.
Lu Fuyue immediately noticed the phoenix feather, which was shimmering with golden-red phoenix flames, placed on Huo Feng's chest.
A flicker of excitement crossed her eyes, but she didn't immediately pull it off. Instead, she knelt down respectfully before the phoenix statue and kowtowed three times.
"I have offended you, junior."
She took someone else's things after all, so she should kowtow a few times out of both compassion and reason.
After kowtowing, Lu Fuyue got up, walked to the statue, tiptoed to its chest, grabbed the phoenix feather, and pulled hard, but her hand was immediately burned by the phoenix flames.
Lu Fuyue quickly withdrew her hand and looked at the phoenix feather with a complicated expression.
She was indeed in a hurry just now and forgot that the things on this are not ordinary.
Phoenix Flame is one of the legendary divine flames in the cultivation world, and a type of avatar of the Phoenix Divine Flame.
Although its power is far inferior to the Phoenix Divine Fire, it is still one of the treasures sought after in the cultivation world, so its effects are naturally not much worse.
If it weren't for the Phoenix bloodline within her, even a tiny wisp of Phoenix flame would probably have burned her to a crisp.
Lu Fuyue pondered for a moment and decided to take a gamble to see if she could use her phoenix wings to pluck it off.
After a moment, she carefully controlled her two wings, grasped the phoenix feathers on the stone carving, and then pulled them out sharply.
But her phoenix feather remained completely still and unaffected.
Lu Fuyue's eyes narrowed slightly; it seemed this was also part of the test.
Since that's the case, let's do it barehanded.
So she quickly and tightly gripped the phoenix feather with both hands, and then pulled with all her might. The phoenix flames covering the surface of the feather immediately grew larger and fiercely burned her hands.
Intense burning pain emanated from her palms, and she could even smell a burnt odor.
However, Lu Fuyue still did not give up. She knew in her heart that if she obtained this phoenix feather, she might die; but if she did not obtain it, she would definitely die.
So she couldn't let go. For Yin Xiu, a pair of intact hands was indeed very important, but for her, life was more important.
As long as a person lives, there is always possibility and hope.
Lu Fuyue bit her lower lip tightly, and bright red blood slowly flowed out from her bitten lip, dripping down one drop at a time.
Soon, her hands slowly lost sensation. Under the influence of the phoenix flames, Lu Fuyue witnessed her originally fair and slender hands being turned into pitch-black charcoal.
With a gust of wind, her two hands instantly turned to ashes and scattered with the wind.
She still couldn't pull the phoenix feather out, but the phoenix flames on it gradually faded.
Lu Fuyue didn't care at all; she might lose her hand, but she could still use her mouth.
She refused to believe that even with the hope of survival right in front of her, she still couldn't grasp it.
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened, and she slowly lowered her head, then opened her mouth and bit down hard on the base of the phoenix feather. Fortunately, the phoenix flames had faded and were no longer as hot as before.
She silently counted one, two, three, and then pulled hard with all her might.
Finally, she managed to pluck the phoenix feather.
A hint of joy flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes; she had succeeded.
At the same time, the phoenix feather in her mouth emitted a golden-red light and then established a soul contract with her.
Soon, all the information about this phoenix feather was displayed in her mind.
The phoenix feathers left behind by the peak-stage fire phoenix can be used to purify the fire phoenix bloodline.
Before Lu Fuyue could fully process all the information, a phoenix feather suddenly transformed into a gentle stream of spiritual energy, entering her dantian and breaking the seal on her Fire Phoenix bloodline power.
The next second, the power of the Fire Phoenix bloodline and her own water elemental power began to stir again, and Lu Fuyue's expression changed drastically.
Could it be that the phoenix feather she finally obtained is not only useless, but will also harm her?
But Lu Fuyue soon realized that the phoenix feather was indeed useful.
The two opposing forces within her body, originally clashing, became gentler under the influence of the phoenix feather, obediently swirling on either side of her dantian without interfering with each other.
Moreover, a large amount of spiritual energy gathered on Lu Fuyue's body from all directions, gradually repairing her wounds.
Slowly, Lu Fuyue was lifted into the air by a gentle force, and countless golden-red phoenix rebirth flames emerged from Lu Fuyue's body, fiercely scorching her body.
However, Lu Fuyue did not feel any pain at all. Instead, she felt as comfortable as if she were soaking in a hot spring and slowly fell asleep.
