Youyou stepped forward and touched another egg. Sure enough, the egg reacted the next moment. Unlike the one Fengrong had touched, the light from the egg did not converge in her palm. Instead, the light on the entire eggshell grew brighter and brighter, making the whole eggshell appear transparent.
Before long, a shadow emerged from within, and one could vaguely make out that a large bird was curled up inside, fast asleep. Even more miraculously, she could faintly sense a rhythmic movement, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, emanating from the shadow.
This is... a heartbeat!
"It really is!" You You looked at Feng Rong in disbelief. What was going on? They hadn't found a way to awaken the Phoenix Clan yet, so why had they suddenly regained their vitality?
"Youyou... what should we do?" Feng Rong touched the eggshell with one hand, turned her head blankly, looking at her with a mixture of nervousness, surprise, joy, and regret, as if afraid to move easily. "Are they... coming back?"
"Check this area first to see if it's all like this!" You You calmed down and suggested in a deep voice.
"Okay...okay!" Feng Rong nodded vigorously, as if she had just realized what she should do. She withdrew her hand and turned around to start checking the eggs one by one.
The more he examined him, the more surprised and delighted he became, his smile widening and his eyes shining even brighter.
The two checked quickly, but there were simply too many eggs. It took them almost half an hour to finish checking them all. Feng Rong immediately rushed over, excitedly saying, "I've checked all of these. They all show signs of life, except for the ones in the very center. The eggs from my parents' eggs have the strongest vitality!"
His words carried a hint of boasting, and he added at the end, "No wonder they are my parents!"
Youyou found it somewhat amusing, as it was rare to see the little turkey so happy. Thinking of the results of her inspection, she lowered her voice and said, "I did find two that were different." She turned and pointed to the corner behind her, "Those two didn't move at all."
Feng Rong was taken aback, her smile froze for a moment, and she turned and walked in the direction she pointed. Sure enough, she found two different eggs on the edge. Unlike the other eggs, they did not emit any light and appeared particularly dim in the white light, quietly as if they were about to sink into the shadows.
Feng Rong raised her hand and touched it, and sure enough, she could not feel any life. As always, it was lifeless.
Why are only these two missing?
Youyou thought for a moment and asked, "Is it related to those two pieces of lightning feathers?" Qin Hong had said that someone had asked her to take two pieces of lightning feathers from here, and there just happened to be two lifeless eggs here.
Feng Rong frowned, then shook her head after a moment. "No! Lei Yu is a true feather of the royal family. I can sense that the creatures in these two eggs are not Lei Fengs."
"..." You remained silent, and the reason for that was unknown.
The Phoenix Clan's sudden return to life was a good thing, but she felt something was amiss. Things seemed too easy. Feng Yu had spent his entire life trying to accomplish something, and they had only just begun searching for a method, yet it had already happened on its own?
However, seeing Feng Rong's unprecedentedly happy expression, You You didn't want to dampen her spirits at this moment, so she changed the subject and asked, "Feng Rong, now that these eggs have regained their vitality, do you know when they will wake up?"
Feng Rong was taken aback, her spirited expression momentarily froze, and she lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, saying, "This... I don't know either. Being able to awaken a trace of life only means that they have a chance to wake up. But whether they can actually awaken, I don't know."
"..." So, even if there's a chance of survival, it's useless? Then all their joy was for nothing.
"What if, like last time, there's still a trace of their souls inside?" You You asked. "Would that wake them up?"
“This is different!” Feng Rong shook her head. “Although I had not yet broken out of my shell, my primordial spirit had already awakened, while their primordial spirits were still dormant. Even if they had the power to awaken, they could not come out.”
"So, it means we need to awaken their primordial spirits?" Youyou continued to analyze.
“Yes!” He nodded, but I had never heard of a way to awaken the primordial spirit, which was no different from restoring the power of Nirvana.
You You sighed. The two discussed for a long time but couldn't come up with a concrete direction. In the end, they decided to go back and discuss it with Yuan Qi, and also ask the second and fourth princes of the Immortal Realm, who knows if they might have a way to awaken the primordial spirit.
Since the Sacred Tree space cannot be moved, and now that the Phoenix Clan has hope of awakening, Feng Rong is naturally even more anxious about this place. After repeatedly adding several more layers of seals and instructing the Phoenix Clan members guarding this place to notify her immediately if anything happens, she returned to the True Exploration Sect together.
By the time You You and Feng Rong returned to their sect, Qin Hong and the others had already settled their accounts and left for the Five Elements Sect. Three days later, the True Evolution Sect received a huge amount of supplies, including countless spiritual plants and herbs, and even a contract for a spirit stone mine, as a token of gratitude to Feng Rong and Yuan Qi for rescuing the Five Elements Sect Master. You You glanced at it casually and noticed that the amount given was more than ten times what had been promised.
She didn't stand on ceremony and accepted everything without hesitation, feeling no guilt whatsoever. She knew that Qin Hong was in such a state back then; if it weren't for Feng Rong and Yuan's father's intervention, no immortal sect could have saved her. If she had perished, the Five Elements Sect would have paid a much higher price. Now, she had only regressed to the Nascent Soul stage, at least her life was safe, and she should be grateful for that!
To be honest, it's hard to say anything bad about Qin Hong. She's capable, resourceful, loyal, and would go to great lengths for her friends. Before knowing the truth, even with suspicions, she wouldn't act rashly, but would investigate privately. It must be said, she has a good sense of propriety. If the one being misunderstood wasn't her, she might even admire her somewhat.
Whether it was Qin Hong's guilt at having misunderstood her, or gratitude that she hadn't told the various sects about Qin Yan's death, the Five Elements Sect didn't hide the fact that she had recovered. Within a few days, the entire Immortal Realm knew. The True Evolution Sect's Heavenly Maiden had healed Qin Hong's lightning wound. This was considered an acceptance of their saving grace; from then on, the Five Elements Sect owed the True Evolution Sect a debt of gratitude.
You You initially thought it was nothing serious, until posts from various sects and factions offering medical help started flooding in like snowflakes. From serious issues like damaged spiritual roots to minor ones like feeling nauseous and dizzy from angering a disciple, the celestial maidens from different sects would send her messages seeking various solutions for any ailment they might have.
Youyou: "..." She runs a celestial sect, not a gynecology clinic!
