After the seal was broken, a violent burst of fire energy suddenly erupted.
Without the suppression of the seal, the phoenix's fire energy could instantly destroy everything within a radius of tens of millions of miles.
Ling Yun quickly raised his hand to suppress the fire energy.
He then stomped on the ground, and a staircase leading underground appeared before him.
"Your senses are correct, the phoenix is indeed suppressed beneath Sky Curtain City!"
Ling Yun looked at Yan Ruyu and said, then the two walked down the steps. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they stopped.
Upon seeing the scene before them, both of them narrowed their eyes and showed expressions of anger.
There stood a giant phoenix, a thousand feet long, firmly bound by eighteen golden chains.
Her head hung low, her spirit flickering and threatening to vanish at any moment. Her divine feathers had been stripped off, her long, sturdy mouth had been smashed, and her body was covered in whip marks.
What angered Lingyun and Yan Ruyu the most was that the Mingtian Divine Phoenix Clan actually branded the word "chicken" on the phoenix's forehead with a branding iron!
Although its divine feathers had been plucked and its body was covered in wounds, making it a pitiful sight, the phoenix still exuded a noble aura, inspiring awe and reverence.
"senior!"
With tears in her eyes, Yan Ruyu rushed to Phoenix and reached out her fair, jade-like hand to stroke Phoenix's head.
Her martial spirit is the phoenix, and she is naturally drawn to it.
At this moment, a phoenix cry rang out, and Yan Ruyu's martial spirit flew out, circling around the phoenix and sending out a portion of its soul light to replenish the phoenix's primordial spirit.
At the same time, Sun Wukong, Po, and the others also arrived. Seeing the phoenix's miserable state, they were all furious.
"The Mingtian Divine Phoenix Clan has gone too far. They are jealous of the Phoenix Clan's nobility and have used such cruel methods to torture a newly grown phoenix."
"Pah! That bullshit Heavenly Phoenix, it's just a chicken!"
"A phoenix is a phoenix; no matter how much it is tormented, it remains noble!"
"..."
Just then, the dying phoenix struggled to raise its head, slowly opened its eyes, and saw Yan Ruyu crying her eyes out.
Her eyes were initially blank, but when her vision cleared and she saw Yan Ruyu clearly, her eyes shone brightly, and her voice trembled slightly as she said:
"Goddess! You are the Phoenix Goddess!"
Phoenix Goddess!
Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Yan Ruyu.
Is she the Phoenix Goddess?
The Phoenix Goddess is the first phoenix reincarnation since the beginning of time, and also the reincarnation of the Phoenix Ancestor.
Yan Ruyu was also a little confused, "Senior, you must have mistaken me for someone else?"
Phoenix struggled to her feet, wanting to bow, but her injuries were too severe to stand. Yan Ruyu quickly comforted her, signaling her not to get agitated.
"Goddess, you are the Phoenix Goddess. You held me when I was little. Later, you said that your cultivation was not enough and you needed to start over, so you disintegrated yourself. When you find your own path in the future, you will remember everything!"
The phoenix spoke.
"Ah, this..." Yan Ruyu was stunned and couldn't quite accept it.
"I...I really am the Phoenix Goddess?"
She looked at Lingyun and the Great Sage.
Ling Yun nodded slightly, "Yes, you are the Phoenix Goddess reincarnated with your memories, but your memories are currently sealed."
"Back then, you wanted to surpass the Phoenix Ancestor, but you couldn't break through by following your own path, so you sought another."
Yan Ruyu remained silent; the truth had come somewhat suddenly, and she needed time to process it.
Ling Yun took out Little Green and healed Phoenix's injuries, but her primordial spirit was extremely weak.
He needs to absorb Yan Ruyu's ancestral aura from her sea of consciousness to restore his primordial spirit.
After Ling Yun sent the phoenix into Yan Ruyu's sea of consciousness, everyone returned to the Ji family.
Immediately, A Bao poured out the true form of the powerful Ji family member from a storage bag.
Looking at the hundreds of chickens with their colorful feathers, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. The little white fox spoke up:
"or?"
"Um!"
Everyone nodded.
Then, A Bao and Shangguan Hong took charge of the slaughtering, the eight Qilin were responsible for applying mud, and the little white fox and the golden lion were responsible for wrapping the meat in lotus leaves.
The white Qilin spirit was responsible for instructing on how to roast the beggar's chicken.
Yan Ruyu sat not far away, lost in thought. The immense wealth and privilege of being the reincarnation of the Phoenix Goddess had come crashing down on her, and she needed time to adjust.
Xiao Yanran sat down next to Ling Yun and looked into his eyes. Her head was very close to his, which puzzled Ling Yun.
What are you doing?
Xiao Yanran asked seriously:
"Sister Ruyu is the reincarnation of the Phoenix Goddess. Could I also be related to the Crimson Phoenix?"
Ling Yun laughed:
What kind of relationship do you want?
Xiao Yanran punched him lightly and said anxiously:
"Speak! You must know something!"
Lingyun pushed her head towards him, "Don't think about anything nonsense, the beggar's chicken is cooked!"
As he spoke, Ling Yun stood up and walked to the stove, where A Bao and Shangguan Hong began to take out the roasted beggar's chicken.
Ling Shan hurriedly called out:
"The beggar's chicken is ready! Everyone come and eat!"
Everyone gathered around, and Ling Shan raised her little paw to break the soil on it, opened the lotus leaf, and instantly a fragrant aroma wafted out.
"Wow, it smells so good! No need to try it, it's definitely delicious!"
As she spoke, Ling Shan began to eat heartily; beggar's chicken was her favorite dish.
This beggar's chicken was made by the legendary phoenix, the ancestor of chickens, and its taste is tens of thousands of times better than ordinary beggar's chicken.
"Damn the Heavenly Phoenix! It tormented the phoenixes like that, we must devour them all!"
The little white fox Lingxi ate while gritting her teeth and saying this.
"Mmm, that's right, oh my gosh, so delicious, we have to eat them all!"
Ling Shan echoed this sentiment.
"That's right, we have to eat them all!" The golden lion slapped the mud away, swallowed the whole chicken, and then slapped another one away.
After a hearty meal, everyone refined the essence from the flesh of the Heavenly Phoenix.
"Wow~ My fourth tail has grown!"
Lingxi excitedly wiggled her butt in front of everyone, showing off her fourth tail, which was only an inch long.
In two and a half years, Lingxi has grown up a lot and no longer needs Yan Ruyu to carry her.
"Once your nine tails grow out, you'll be a true immortal!"
Ling Yun grabbed the little white fox by the tail, pulled her to his side, and rubbed her head.
"Really?" The little white fox's eyes lit up, and it exclaimed excitedly, "I can become an immortal without cultivation?"
Ling Yun laughed:
"That's right. The Nine-Tailed Fox is blessed by the heavens. Even sleeping counts as cultivation. It becomes a true immortal with nine tails."
However, after becoming a true immortal, one needs to undergo tribulation!
Everyone looked at the little white fox with envy. Becoming a true immortal is very difficult, and even among the demon race with imperial bloodlines, very few can become true immortals.
The Nine Heavens Fox Clan only needs to grow nine tails to become a true immortal; they are truly favored by the heavens.
Let's go!
Ling Yun and Da Sheng stood up, and the group then left the Ji family residence.
The ground temperature in Sky Curtain City has now returned to normal.
The city lord waited outside the Ji family for a long time. When he saw Ling Yun and his group come out, the city lord breathed a sigh of relief and left silently with a group of retainers.
At this moment, Abao suddenly said:
"It seems we haven't tried the famous chopped chili fish head at Tianmu City yet!"
