The woman in the golden robe shook her head and looked at Feng Chu, saying, "You don't have the bloodline of the Golden Crow clan, but you have cultivated the Great Sun Golden Crow Technique."
"Is that okay? Does that mean anyone who has cultivated the Great Sun Golden Crow Technique is qualified to receive the Golden Crow Clan's inheritance?" Feng Chu asked.
“Not exactly. Without the bloodline of the Golden Crow clan, one would at least need to cultivate the Great Sun Golden Crow Technique to the fifth level. People who can cultivate the Great Sun Golden Crow Technique to the fifth level without the Golden Crow bloodline are extremely rare. I’ve been here for so long, and you are the first person who can enter without the bloodline of the Golden Crow clan,” said the woman in the golden robe.
Suddenly, she said again:
"It seems like it's been a very, very long time since I've seen any Golden Crow Clan members come here, not even any mixed-blood descendants. Has something happened to the Golden Crow Clan?"
Feng Chu looked at her in surprise. Didn't she know that the Great Sun Crow had become extinct?
How long has she been here?
“Senior, the Golden Crow Clan has already…” Feng Chu began.
Feng Chu only said half of what he wanted to say, but the woman in the golden robe had already guessed it. She looked dejected and sighed, "Is there no Great Sun Golden Crow anymore? I see. No wonder I haven't seen any of my clansmen come here for so long. It seems that a lot has happened outside."
"Senior, how long have you been here?"
The woman in the golden robe shook her head: "I forgot."
Looking at her profile, Feng Chu felt that her expression was particularly lonely.
"Senior, my companion is outside. Can I go out?" Feng Chu asked.
"Don't you want to try, accept the test, and obtain the inheritance of the Golden Crow clan?" the woman in the golden robe asked.
"Inheritance? If I pass the test, will I be reincarnated as a Golden Crow?" Feng Chu asked.
Feng Yao started as a human, but now she's a phoenix. If a human can become a phoenix, then she can also become a golden crow, right?
"You can choose to remain human and only accept the inheritance of memories and power," the woman in the golden robe said.
Hearing this, Feng Chu blinked: "That sounds interesting. Okay, I'll accept the test. What should I do?"
The woman in the golden robe thought for a moment: "I seem to have... forgotten..."
Feng Chu: "..."

Inside the Black Nest.
Beneath the golden tree, Ayao opened her eyes, two beams of light shooting forth from them. Behind her, the phantom of a phoenix appeared, then slowly vanished, transforming into starlight that merged into her body.
Ah Yao has finally entered the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Black Nest is a good place for cultivation. Apart from the Time Talisman, whatever she wants, the Lord of Black Nest will give it to her. If Feng Chu and the others hadn't gone missing in the Boundless Starfield, A Yao wouldn't mind cultivating here in seclusion, but she can't do that now.
Ayao stood up and walked outside.
She walked through the winding corridors and arrived at a waterside pavilion filled with lotus flowers. A misty haze hung over the pond, and a light gauze curtain hung inside the pavilion. A man in black clothes, with purple hair and golden eyes, sat in the pavilion, his gaze fixed on the fish swimming in the water. His expression was so frozen that he looked like a beautiful stone statue.
Ayao walked towards him and sat down next to him.
The Lord of the Black Nest glanced at her but didn't speak. He looked away, continuing to watch the fish in the water. Ayao looked at his profile, also remaining silent. After sitting like this for a long time, Ayao couldn't help but say:
Do you really enjoy spacing out like this?
"I don't really like it."
Ayao blinked, and seeing that the Lord of the Black Nest had fallen silent again, she said:
"Is there any particular reason why you refuse to open the Black Nest?"
She stared at his face, and he didn't answer immediately. After a long while, he said:
“Once the Black Nest is completely sealed, it takes a lot of effort to open it again. And once it is opened, it cannot be completely sealed again in a short period of time.”
"so what?"
“By then, I will be unable to stop Lou Munan from devouring me.” After the Lord of the Black Nest finished speaking, A Yao looked at him in surprise, and the two of them fell into silence.
Ah Yao thought to herself: So that's why he refused to open the Black Nest.
"So, so you completely sealed off the Black Nest to avoid him."
"right."
"Are you planning to keep hiding like this forever?" Ayao asked.
"Do you have a better way?" the Lord of the Black Nest asked, his gaze sharp.
Ayao fell silent, recalling her devastating defeat in her previous life. But if everyone chose to run away, what was the point of everything she had done in her rebirth?
"Can you hide forever?" Ayao said.
"Do you know that the Heartbreaker has already been taken back by him?" the Lord of the Black Nest suddenly asked.
Ayao was genuinely unaware of this; she was utterly shocked. Miexin Luo had been taken back? Just like Xu Fengzhi? She recalled her visit to the Kunpeng King's tomb, where she hadn't seen him. He... he had actually been taken back by Lou Munan. Remembering her first meeting with Miexin Luo, remembering their past, Ayao felt an overwhelming pang of sorrow.
Although he ignored her, she knew he had always protected her. He was no longer there, and like Xu Fengzhi, he had become a part of Lou Munan.
She clenched her fist, which was hidden in her sleeve.
How did you know?
Ayao looked into the eyes of the Lord of the Black Nest.
"We are connected. I don't know what happened, but I sensed it the moment he was retrieved," said the Lord of the Black Nest. "I have no chance of winning against Lou Munan. I am, in fact, an avatar of his avatar, and he is naturally my weakness. In addition, my strength is already inferior to his, so I have even less chance of winning."
“Besides you, how many clones does Xu Fengzhi have? Why don’t you cooperate? It would be better if you joined forces than now, right?” A Yao said.
