Feng Rong disappeared. After emerging from the Earth-Shaking Cauldron, no matter what methods were used, he could not be found. You You recalled that it was the same when they were in the ruins below the True Stroke Sect. He suddenly disappeared, only to reappear in the Chengtian Pavilion not long after.
But for some reason, she felt that this disappearance was different from the last one, as if something had happened that even Feng Rong herself could not have foreseen. The more You You thought about it, the more worried she became, especially when Feng Rong took her out of the Earth-Shaking Cauldron and transformed into a fire phoenix.
What does it mean that he's from the Phoenix Clan? Does he even have a real body?
Although she had long suspected that Feng Rong might be hiding something from her, and even noticed at times that something was off about him.
She just never thought of asking for clarification. After all, who doesn't have a few secrets? Even she herself has never told anyone about time travel and the game system, right? Although it's also because it's too difficult to explain, and she guesses others wouldn't understand anyway.
The more You You thought about it, the more anxious she became, her mind a tangled mess. After searching for a while without finding Feng Rong, she decided to lead her disciples back to the Zhenyan Sect.
The injured disciple cannot be delayed. Besides, regardless of who Feng Rong is or what happened, she doesn't know now, but Feng Yu, as the head of the Feng family, should know something.
"What did you say?!" Upon hearing You You's words, Feng Yu's face turned deathly pale, as if he had suffered some kind of shock. He slumped into a chair, his face filled with astonishment. "He... he disappeared?"
"Yes!" You You nodded and continued, "Before Feng Rong disappeared, he said he was a member of the Phoenix Clan? He also told me to go to the Nirvana Realm to find him. What does that mean? And what is the Nirvana Realm?"
“The Nirvana Realm…” Feng Yu looked up at her, his eyes flashing with immense panic and worry. “Even the Nirvana Realm has been mentioned, so he must have damaged his primordial spirit to be in this state. That must be it…”
He became increasingly flustered as he spoke, when suddenly he remembered something, stood up and bowed down in You You's direction, looking at her with hopeful eyes, saying, "Sect Master, I beg you, I beg you must save the Lord! Only you can save him, otherwise... he will truly have no hope of being reborn!"
"My lord?" You You was taken aback and tried to pull him up. "Explain yourself first. Why do you call him 'my lord'? What do you mean by 'hopeless to be reborn'?"
Feng Yu refused to get up. He gritted his teeth. Since his lord had already confessed, there was no need for him to continue hiding it. He continued, "Sect Master, our Feng family inherits the bloodline of the ancient Phoenix Clan and has been waiting for the True Lord to descend for ten thousand years. Feng Rong is the only Phoenix Clan member to awaken in these hundreds of thousands of years. He is not a member of my Feng family, nor is he my son. He is the True Lord of the Feng family—the Divine Phoenix!"
You You was stunned for a moment, but not surprised. In fact, she had guessed this when she saw him transform into a fire phoenix, and now it was just confirmation. "No wonder he said... that she should go find his true form!"
"Sect Master, you can even awaken Venerable Yuan Qi, so you can definitely save my master too!" Feng Yu said anxiously. "He has risked the danger of his clones dissipating to help you time and time again, all for your sake. It was like this last time, and it's like this again! If this continues... he really won't be able to wake up."
"Last time?" You You was taken aback. What last time?
Feng Yu's face was filled with sorrow, as if he could no longer hold back his words, "Sect Master... our Lord only awakened half of his primordial spirit, so he could only appear as an avatar, which is why he needed a divine artifact to stabilize it. The first time he condensed an avatar, he had already dissipated in the ruins in order to go back and awaken you guardian spirit beasts. Later, he finally managed to condense a new avatar with great difficulty using the Purifying Lotus Platform. But a few days ago, he was severely injured by the sword energy of the Crimson Sword, and it took him many days to recover. This time, in order to break out of the Earth-Shaking Cauldron, he forcibly summoned his natal true fire, and I don't know..." He couldn't continue, his entire face filled with despair.
"He was injured by the Crimson Sword?" You You was surprised; she really didn't know that. "Why didn't he tell me?"
Feng Yu's expression grew even more bitter. "My lord said... he was only injured in the clone formed from his primordial spirit, and he would be fine after a few days of recuperation. But I didn't expect him to forcibly use the abilities of his main body with the clone, which is why..." He looked up at her. "Sect Leader! Although my lord has been hiding his identity, he is truly sincere towards you. Please be fair to him and find a way to save my lord!"
You Youyue felt increasingly anxious. This troublesome little turkey used to pretend to be lame for a long time after she stepped on his foot, so why is he silent now that he's actually injured? No wonder he disappeared for several days after returning from the ruins; he had been healing his wounds.
"I understand, I'll figure something out." She took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down, and looked at Feng Yu, saying, "Tell me first, where exactly is that Nirvana Realm?"
Feng Yu was stunned, completely dumbfounded. "This... I don't know either..."
"What!?" No, so all that talk was nonsense. You didn't even know the location? Are you kidding me? How is she supposed to find her now? "What do we do?"
Yuan Qi, who was standing to the side, pondered for a while before suddenly speaking up, "The Nirvana Realm has always been the place where the Phoenix Clan is born and enters the world!"
"You've heard of it?!" You You quickly turned to look at Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi nodded. "I've only heard of it before, but the birthplaces of each race are always kept secret and are not easily revealed." After all, it is the most important place for each race. "However, the birthplace is always connected to the lifeblood of each god race, and the place will reject all outsiders." He thought of something and looked at Feng Yu and said, "Do you know anything about a place that only Feng Rong can enter?"
Feng Yu was taken aback, and after a moment it seemed as if he remembered something. He nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! Yes! There is a secret realm at the foot of Wushan Mountain... Only the Master can enter it. No one else can get close to it."
“That’s it!” Yuan Qi nodded affirmatively.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Youyou stood up immediately.
“But… that place only appears once a month.” A hint of hesitation flashed across Feng Yu’s face. After calculating carefully, he continued, “The next time it appears… will be in five days!”
“In that case, there’s no need to rush.” Yuan Qi looked at You You and said in a deep voice, “Xiao You, after all, this is the birthplace of the Phoenix Clan. There may be unexpected risks. It’s not too late for us to prepare before setting off. I will go with you.”
Youyou tightened her grip on her sides, calmed herself down, and slowly sat back down.
"good!"
