Following those steps, the two continued their exploration forward.
Before long, the two entered the center of the dilapidated palace.
A towering throne came into view, upon which a massive beast skeleton spiraled upwards.
"There is someone on this throne!"
Ming Ningzhu exclaimed in surprise, as if she had discovered something.
Qin Xin quickly looked over and saw a figure sitting cross-legged on the throne. Upon closer inspection, the figure looked very familiar to him. "It's Long Mu."
After finding Longmu, Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief. However, Longmu's eyes were tightly closed, and mysterious power seemed to be constantly flowing into his body from the huge monster skeleton.
Qin Xin didn't dare to go forward and disturb him for a moment. He knew that Long Mu seemed to have had some kind of fortuitous encounter, which was why he had formed a connection with these monster bones.
Seeing that Qin Xin had found the person he was looking for, Ming Ningzhu did not disturb him, but instead went to other parts of the palace to see if she could find anything else.
Qin Xin remained where he was. Although Long Mu was protected by an energy shield, he was worried that if others suddenly entered, they might damage Long Mu's peculiar state.
As the mysterious power continued to flow into Longmu's body, the entire palace began to tremble slightly, as if it were about to collapse.
Longmu's face was flushed red, as if the power was too strong for him to bear.
Qin Xin immediately extended his spiritual sense and, through the energy shield, discovered that the energy had already begun to crystallize. If the time energy could not be released, it would likely seal the dragon wood inside.
"Never mind, I'll give it a try!" Qin Xin naturally didn't want to see such a scene. After steeling his resolve, he followed the huge skeleton toward the direction of the throne.
After taking a step, to Qin Xin's surprise, the mysterious power gathered on Long Mu's body seemed to be calling to him, and the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern on his Martial Spirit trembled slightly, as if it was constantly making cries.
Forcibly suppressing this feeling, Qin Xin went to the throne, wanting to awaken the sleeping Longmu.
The moment Qin Xin's palm touched Long Mu's body, the energy locked Qin Xin in place, and no matter how hard Qin Xin tried, he could not break free.
"not good!"
Qin Xin was surprised, but it was too late.
The mysterious power was immense, and as it climbed onto Qin Xin's body, countless roars of beasts echoed in his mind, and even soul power continuously surged towards his Niwan Palace.
Fortunately, Qin Xin had already entered the Spirit Form Realm, so the soul power that had weakened over countless years did not have a significant impact on him.
The only problem was that these mysterious forces fixed Qin Xin in place, making him unable to move for a while, just like the dragon wood. The condensed crystals also caused the flow of true energy within Qin Xin's body to stop.
"Spirit Devouring Stone!"
In the face of crisis, Qin Xin used all his spiritual sense to mobilize the Devouring Spirit Stone.
At this moment, the humanoid shadow sitting cross-legged on the Spirit Devouring Stone continuously activated the Supreme Derivation Technique, but the Spirit Devouring Stone did not change at all, as if it had no interest in this mysterious power at all, and remained unmoved no matter how Qin Xin tried to control it.
"What should we do about this?!"
After being trapped and unable to use the Spirit Devouring Stone, Qin Xin began to feel anxious.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Sounds continued to emanate from Qin Xin's spatial ring.
With a thought, Qin Xin discovered that the sound was coming from the Heavenly Phoenix Futon.
Ignoring the possibility of being discovered, Qin Xin, with a thought, directly led Long Mu into the futon space.
Outside the palace, Qin Xin and Long Mu seemed to have vanished.
The moment Qin Xin entered the futon space, he discovered that the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg was floating in mid-air, with the colorful misty air around it constantly fluctuating, as if expressing excitement.
Before Qin Xin could react, the ancient phoenix egg had already pounced on the two of them.
After sensing that the mysterious force binding him was suddenly absorbed by the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg, Qin Xin quickly broke free.
Standing to the side, I saw a truly stunning scene.
Longmu, who was sitting cross-legged, had relaxed. Opposite him, the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg was trembling.
"Buzz!"
After a strange fluctuation appeared, an astonishing scene emerged on the ancient phoenix egg.
A gigantic monster spread its wings, stretching across several mountain ranges, and the fiery currents swirling around it burned everything to ashes.
Soon after, from a void, a pair of skeletal hands appeared and tore the terrifying beast apart.
The painful screams echoed in all directions, and countless demonic beasts rushed forward in response, trying to repel the pair of white bone hands, but all they got in return was the continuous fall of the demonic beasts.
Finally, the beast's wings quickly closed, and an aura of destruction erupted from its mouth, with crimson flames clinging directly to the skeletal hand.
From that void, there seemed to be a cry of pain, and the hand was immediately withdrawn.
The two-winged demonic beast then spat out a stream of blood essence from the sky, directly sealing off the void.
However, the two-winged monster was already emanating black energy, and the fur on its wings kept falling off, eventually turning into a skeleton, and it perished.
"Such a terrifying ancient phoenix, died just like that!" Qin Xin's eyes were filled with shock, and he was also deeply impressed by the mysterious white bone hand.
Just as the image on the ancient phoenix egg slowly faded away, a phantom appeared behind Longmu.
"Woman...woman..."
Upon seeing the woman's figure behind Long Mu, Qin Xin was momentarily speechless.
The woman was clad in golden armor, wielding a long sword, and her fiery red hair cascaded down her back. Her appearance was strikingly similar to that of Long Mu.
"Could this be Longmu's mother?" Qin Xin wondered.
Suddenly, the woman's longsword swung down, and countless giant dragons that had turned into white bones fell to the ground. The black energy that had been wrapped around the bones also dissipated completely.
A tear rolled down the corner of the woman's eye, as if she were heartbroken for the dragons that had turned into bones.
Qin Xin seemed to be affected by the woman's sadness, and a sense of melancholy also arose in his heart.
After all the scenes ended, Longmu and the ancient Heavenly Phoenix Egg returned to calm.
The mysterious power that had originally turned into crystals was absorbed into the body by the person and the egg.
