"Youhuang! Where are you going?"
Jiang Yuan intercepted Youhuang when they were still a kilometer away from the exit of the underground palace.
"You're not dead?" The Phoenix looked at Jiang Yuan as if it had seen a ghost. It could sense that the person who had been carrying the death energy of the dead was dead, but how could a living person appear in front of it?
"What, you want me dead?" Jiang Yuan grabbed Youhuang and carried it back to the eighteenth level of the underworld like a chick.
"You're hurting me!" Youhuang tried to break free, but her strength wouldn't allow it.
Jiang Yuan glanced over and said, "I know that your Nether Phoenix Clan was once the ruler of the Nine Nether Lands, so you definitely know more about the Netherworld than I do!"
"I've just been born, how can I have time to learn about other things!" Youhuang felt extremely uncomfortable. She was a female phoenix, but now Jiang Yuan was holding her up and questioning her in an extremely awkward position. Even though she was still a juvenile, she knew shame.
“A spirit in the underground palace said that they were not dead, and the master of the underground palace also hinted at this, so I would like to ask what you think about the matter of reviving them?” Jiang Yuan had a slight doubt about the attitude of the tomb woman and Bai Qi.
"Impossible, you killed them all, they can't be saved!" Youhuang said without even thinking.
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes, and Youhuang, who had just spoken, quickly shut her mouth.
Youhuang tucked her beautiful feathers in and changed her words, saying, "Perhaps, there is still a chance to survive...!"
"Oh, right, there's another possibility!"
Youhuang seemed to remember something, and her expression changed slightly.
"explain!"
After pondering for a moment, Youhuang said in a deep voice, "In my inherited memories, there is a small-scale reincarnation world, which is very similar to the underground palace model. The undead in it are also in a state of immortality!"
"What makes them immortal?" Jiang Yuan grasped the key point.
"Well... my strength is too weak right now, I can't even read some of the inheritances!" Youhuang said with a troubled expression.
Jiang Yuan was somewhat displeased. He didn't understand what Youhuang meant; she was clearly here to ask for favors, but he had no choice but to give them to her.
"This is 100,000 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones. On one hand, it's to make up for the death energy you contributed earlier, and on the other hand, it's to buy the information you know!" Jiang Yuan gave a large sum of Holy Spirit Stones. At the current stage, 100,000 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones is a huge sum of money, enough for Youhuang to cultivate to the super ninth tier.
"make a deal!"
Youhuang carefully put away the Holy Spirit Stone as if she were a thief, and then, without any intention of increasing her strength, she directly said, "In my memory, those small reincarnation worlds all have a core. It is because that core contains the life souls of all the people in the world that the death of those beings in the reincarnation world is not a true death, but a transfer of energy, a transfer of energy that can be traced in the reincarnation world!"
"The core of the cycle of reincarnation?" Jiang Yuan pondered. If the underground palace had a core, then only the earth would sigh.
“Yes, if you grasp the core of this underground palace, you might be lucky enough to find Sister Xiaoyu and my silly master’s life souls inside the core!” Youhuang said, expressing her opinion.
"After going around in circles, we've come full circle back to the Sigh of the Earth!" Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly. He now understood why the Palace Spirit had left so calmly. It was because the Palace Spirit was certain that he would refine the Sigh of the Earth. If the Sigh of the Earth wasn't refined, then Little Fatty and the others would never have a chance to turn their lives around.
"Boss, how about I help you refine this thing?" Youhuang pointed to the ground and sighed, her eyes revealing her desire.
"You'll refine it?" Jiang Yuan was intrigued. If Youhuang helped him refine the Earth's Sigh, then he wouldn't have to take the risk. After all, obtaining an opportunity was far more risky than being possessed by someone else.
“That’s right, if I refine this thing and the life souls of Sister Xiaoyu and the others are inside the core, then I can help them revive!” Youhuang volunteered.
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, "That is indeed a good idea, but how can I be sure you're not lying to me?"
"How could that be? My Youhuang clan has always repaid kindness tenfold. You once pulled me out of the abyss, and you did your best to help me hatch. I remember all of this! How could I possibly lie to you!" Youhuang immediately became anxious, as it was unforgivable for someone to doubt her phoenix qualities.
"I didn't realize you remembered this!" Jiang Yuan was somewhat surprised; he had originally thought Youhuang knew nothing.
"I just hate that guy next to you. Why can it sign an equal contract with you, while I have to be enslaved! And a weak one at that! I, Youhuang, also have pride!" Youhuang raised its head in anger. Although it was only at the third level at the moment, the arrogance in its expression was innate.
"Alright, go ahead and refine it!"
Jiang Yuan pushed the Sigh of the Earth in front of Youhuang. He could see that Youhuang cared a lot about the Sigh of the Earth, but for his own safety, he had to reluctantly give it up.
"Thank you, boss!" Youhuang accepted the gift with pleasure, and then, without thinking twice, sat down and began to refine the sighs of the earth.
As a divine beast of the Nine Netherworlds, its previous fearlessness of the deathly aura of the undead demonstrates how well this attribute suits it, so it goes without saying how alluring the Sigh of the Earth is to it.
The sigh of the earth was swallowed by Youhuang with a whoosh, but less than three seconds later, Youhuang's expression turned extremely ugly, and at the same time, a terrifying aura emanated from its body.
"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"
In five seconds, Youhuang exhaled the Earth's Sigh, and her aura plummeted, instantly dropping her to the first tier.
"Can't it be refined?"
Seeing this result, Jiang Yuan felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that the Palace Spirit was not stupid; he must be the one to refine the Sigh of the Earth.
"Boss, this thing is protected by a restriction!" The Ghost Phoenix fell to the ground with a thud, all its energy vanished. "If it weren't for the special constitution of my Ghost Phoenix clan, I would have perished at its hands today!"
"Are you alright?" Jiang Yuan walked over and picked up the Earth Sigh.
With lingering fear, Youhuang said, "Boss, I'm sorry, I probably can't refine it!"
It failed after only five seconds, which shows what price it would have to pay to refine the Sigh of the Earth. Although the Phoenix was greedy, it was not so greedy as to risk its life for it.
"Fine, it seems the Lord of War has me cornered!" Jiang Yuan sighed heavily. Now he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
"Boss, don't worry, I'll be right here watching over you! If there's any unusual activity, I'll... I'll..." Youhuang couldn't finish her sentence because she had just been through a lot and was now as weak as an ordinary chicken, so she had no ability to help.
"Move aside!"
Jiang Yuan spoke, and then his divine power extended into the sigh of the earth; he was about to begin refining it.
