A Bao and the others were still undergoing Nirvana, and Yan Ruyu had not yet emerged from seclusion, so Ling Yun returned to the Daoist temple to begin studying the black crystal.
He probed his divine sense into the black crystal, and instantly the power of his divine sense surged.
This truly shocked Ling Yun. If even the power of divine sense could be enhanced, the power of the black crystal must be absolutely terrifying.
When one's consciousness enters the crystal, one sees strange patterns.
Ling Yun connected these patterns and looked at them together. His pupils shrank to a tiny size, and his face was full of disbelief.
These patterns were actually the patterns of some kind of living, breathing creature.
All living beings in the world have unique markings on their bodies, including humans. These markings can be used to distinguish between living beings and inanimate objects.
In other words, the black crystal is simply the skin or armor shed by a living being.
"this……"
Ling Yun shook his head in disbelief. He examined all the patterns inside the black crystal and finally determined that these were the patterns of some kind of creature.
However, when Ling Yun compared the innate markings of all living beings in the world, he found that none of them matched.
Ling Yun even compared the patterns of the ancient behemoth race, but none of them matched.
This means that this being is not from this realm but...
The Primordial Clan!
Hiss~
Ling Yun couldn't help but gasp; the Primordial Clan actually possessed such powerful beings.
If even the shed skin can make a Celestial King become a Quasi-Celestial Emperor within a hundred years, then how strong must the original being be?
Even the Celestial Emperor couldn't do it, only...
Sacrifice to the Taoist Immortal!
boom!
Ling Yun was utterly shaken!
The Primordial Clan has a Taoist Immortal!
However, Ling Yun had a premonition that this being was even stronger than the Sacrificial Immortal.
So powerful that even the Daoist immortals could not defeat them.
"Hiss~"
Ling Yun gasped again, suddenly remembering the Flower Goddess Empress.
When the Empress first appeared as a Daoist immortal, she stormed into the Shiyuan Clan and nearly wiped them out.
But in an instant, the Empress was blocked by a powerful force, and in the end, she died, her civilization perished.
Ling Yun deduced that the powerful force was that being, and that it was it that killed the Empress.
At this moment, Ling Yun felt a chill run down his spine; the truth seemed to be surfacing.
He had been deducing the truth behind the Empress's demise, but each time he was stopped by an irresistible force at the crucial moment.
It must be a restriction set up by that being, preventing outsiders from deducing its existence.
Ling Yun was able to see the truth because of the white light cast by the ancient immortal bottle. That power allowed Ling Yun's divine sense to enter the black crystal and see the patterns of living beings.
"Phew~"
Ling Yun breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but an immense burden suddenly pressed down on him. He had thought that becoming a Sacrificial Immortal would allow him to protect all the heavens and myriad realms.
But little did they know that there was another terrifying being who surpassed even the Immortal of Sacrifice.
Becoming a sacrificial immortal only grants one the qualification to fight against that being.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun lay back in his chair, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness. Even the Immortal of Sacrifice was at the pinnacle. If he still couldn't destroy that being, the outcome for this era would be annihilation!
Ling Yun rubbed his face, sat up straight, and comforted himself:
"The future is uncertain, but miracles are possible!"
However, my mood, which had just calmed down, was once again shrouded in a mystery.
How did the Haotian Demon God obtain the black crystal?
Logically speaking, the powerful energy of black crystals should have made the Primordial Clan eager to acquire them and regard them as treasures.
There is only one truth:
The Primordial Clan let them in on purpose.
Ling Yun couldn't deduce the purpose of it in a short time.
At this moment, Ling Yun felt like his brain was about to explode. If he continued to deduce, he would probably shock that being.
Immediately, Ling Yun got up and went to Qiongqi's dojo, summoning both the Great Sage and the Yellow Emperor.
"What! The black crystal fell from some living being?"
Qiongqi's tiger eyes widened in disbelief.
The Great Sage and the Yellow Emperor looked at each other, feeling as if it were a fantasy.
When Ling Yun drew the pattern, the three of them gasped in shock.
"There really are some patterns of living beings with flesh!"
The world is full of wonders; how come we keep running into all sorts of bizarre and outlandish things!
Qiongqi joked.
No one could laugh; they all felt the immense pressure of Mount Tai pressing down on them.
The future seems hazy and bleak.
After a long while, the wise Great Sage asked:
"Can we utilize the power of the black crystal?"
Upon hearing this, both Qiongqi and Huangdi became interested and looked at Lingyun.
After a moment of silence, Ling Yun said:
"It's difficult to fuse them, but I can temporarily borrow the power of the black crystal. Let me study it further!"
Everyone nodded slightly.
Qiongqi patted Lingyun on the shoulder in a carefree manner and laughed:
"Brother, don't be discouraged. I believe that once you become a Sacrificial Immortal, you will be invincible in the world. No invincible creature will be more than a sword to you."
Ling Yun nodded slightly, feeling much better.
Lingyun came to find Qiongqi and the others because he was too depressed after learning the truth.
It's like exhausting all your strength to climb over a mountain blocking your way, thinking you'll find a smooth road ahead, only to discover that there's an even bigger mountain behind it.
After spending some time with his brothers, Ling Yun felt much better. He decided not to think about the black crystal for the time being and would study it when he was ready.
The peaceful life lasted for a month.
On this day, the heavy stone door of the secluded meditation room at the Phoenix Ancestral Temple slowly opened, and Yan Ruyu, dressed in white and possessing an unparalleled beauty, walked out of the secluded meditation room.
At this moment, there was a crimson dot between her brows, a mark of fusion with her life essence and blood, and also the source of ancestral power.
Her aura was terrifying, and her cultivation level instantly reached the Supreme Realm, making her a Great Emperor-level powerhouse.
"Congratulations, Ancestor, on successfully fusing with your life essence!"
All the phoenixes offered their excited congratulations.
Ah Bao and the others had just successfully undergone Nirvana and rushed over to watch Yan Ruyu with bated breath.
They were terrified that Yan Ruyu, after merging with their life essence, would become the next Lin Muyao.
Fortunately, apart from her boss-like demeanor, Yan Ruyu remains unchanged and is still their sister-in-law.
Abao and the others breathed a sigh of relief; Lin Muyao's incident had left them all with psychological trauma.
Yan Ruyu looked around at everyone and smiled, a smile that could topple kingdoms.
"I have perfectly integrated my life essence and blood, and am both a phoenix and a human."
The grand path has been laid out; the question now is whether the future of swordsmanship can continue the broken road.
The phoenixes clenched their fists, their faces filled with excitement as they sensed confidence in Yan Ruyu's words.
This means that Yan Ruyu has completely opened up a new path, and as long as she continues on this path, she will lead the Phoenix Clan to become an imperial clan in the future.
That evening, the ancestral land of Phoenix celebrated with joy.
All the phoenixes and Lingyun gathered together, roasting the Fallen Demon Phoenix and the Crying Heaven Divine Phoenix while celebrating Yan Ruyu's successful fusion with her life essence blood and Abao and the others' successful severing of their Dao.
After several rounds of drinks, the Great Sage smiled and said:
"It looks like it's time to leave again. Where should we go next? Should we seek revenge on Haoyue and Bainiu, or find Abao's mother, or..."
At this moment, Huang Ling'er interrupted the Great Sage, covering her mouth and chuckling softly:
"We won't be able to leave for at least three years."
