However, no matter how he retrieved his memory, he was still unable to capture the corresponding clues, which made him feel very surprised.

"Your Majesty, do you know the significance of this so-called visit to the Suzaku Gate?

Can you tell us all about it?"

After hearing Xu Yang's request, the prince naturally did not refuse and started telling the story.

“You should also know that the initial establishment of the Yun Dynasty relied on the god who opened up the Yingzhou Continent, who is also the true ancestor of our Yun family.

It is said that when the god-level ancestor first appeared on the Yingzhou continent, this place was still a barren land with nothing, let alone the prosperous civilization like today.

He created all of this by his own efforts, and there was another person who entered the Yingzhou continent with him, who was the love of his life.

Even our royal descendants have no records or knowledge about the identity of that mysterious woman. Only emperors of successive dynasties know this secret.

The legend goes that the Vermillion Bird was the woman's close companion. Later, for unknown reasons, the woman left the Yingzhou continent, leaving only our Yun family ancestor, the high and mighty god, to enjoy this prosperous era alone.

The only one accompanying him is the legendary beast Suzaku, although he is known as one of the four great beasts along with the Azure Dragon, White Tiger and Black Tortoise, and has the same bloodline as them.

However, the bloodline of the Vermillion Bird is far more precious than the bloodlines of the other three mythical beasts, mostly because of this legend.

Shortly thereafter, the first emperor of the Yun Dynasty built the Suzaku Temple.

It is also stipulated that every year on the second day of July, which is the birthday of the beloved woman of the god-level powerful man, all those who appear in the Xuanyuan Imperial City must pay homage to the Suzaku Shrine.

As for the legendary Vermillion Bird totem, whether it still exists in the world, no one knows.

Now this so-called Suzaku Gate, which is where the Suzaku Shrine is enshrined, is not guarded by anyone. You will understand once you reach your destination."

After hearing what the prince said, Xu Yang's team and others became extremely curious about the legendary Vermillion Bird, and couldn't wait to reach the ancestral hall to see for themselves.

The scale of the stairs was still ninety-nine. Everyone stood at the foot of the first step and looked up at the Suzaku Shrine at the top. In a trance, Xu Yang and Xiaohua looked at each other instinctively. It was obvious that this was not the first time they had experienced such a scene.

"Be careful, this staircase is not as easy as it looks."

Xu Yang had a strong enough foundation in cultivation to be able to reach the top of the ninety-nine steps.

The prince's suggestion seemed to confirm Xu Yang and Xiao Hua's subconscious judgment deep in their hearts.

Sure enough, because everyone in the Eight Gates team had developed a strong interest in these things, they were all eager to try and couldn't wait to reach the top of the Ninety-Nine Steps.

Everyone started to move one by one. In the initial stage, they moved very fast, but when they reached the top, the last nine steps contained a terrifying pressure.

Xu Yang and Xiao Hua did not climb the stairs immediately. Instead, they stood on the first step, staring behind the members of the Eight Gates team and watching the movements of each of them.

“The appearance of the Vermillion Bird as a totem of a mythical beast, although such a system does not conform to the wider world we live in, after all, in our world, the bloodlines of the dragon and phoenix clans are still continued.

And this Suzaku is originally a descendant of the Phoenix, but what I didn't expect is that according to what the prince said, Yun Wangji already had the blood of the Suzaku when he came here. Could it be that this Suzaku has some connection with the Phoenix clan in our big world?"

Xiaohua gave her own independent thinking and transmitted the doubts in her heart to Xu Yang's mind in the form of mental power, but she didn't know that Xu Yang also had the same doubts about this issue.

"I may not be able to answer you now, but I will have the answer soon."

With a violent shock, Xu Yang took a step into the air, completely ignoring the power resistance of the ninety-nine steps of the Suzaku Gate, and landed steadily on the high steps as if he was not affected by any force.

However, no one expected that the moment Xu Yang's aura stepped on the 99th step, the entire Suzaku Gate was ignited with red flames without any warning. This extremely powerful flame aura completely ignited the entire Suzaku Gate in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the small hill area where the entire Suzaku Shrine was located released an extremely strong aura of the divine beast. The appearance of this amazing and shocking scene pushed the calm atmosphere inside into a noisy one.

After sensing the fluctuations in the aura at the Suzaku Shrine, the various powerful men guarding inside the Xuanyuan Imperial City set out and rushed towards the shrine.

However, Xu Yang ignored all of this, put his hands behind his back calmly, and stared at the outline of the Vermillion Bird totem at the innermost part of the Vermillion Bird Temple in front of him.

Originally, the stone statue that was used as a worship was lying quietly in the middle of the courtyard of the ancestral hall. However, because of Xu Yang's arrival, it seemed that he awakened its extremely powerful aura.

"how so?

Could it be that the boss accidentally touched some special restriction?

Why is there such a big commotion in this ancestral hall all of a sudden? "

Everyone in the Eight Gates team stared at the scene in amazement. Not long after, a crimson light began to burn on the surface of the Vermillion Bird totem statue in the middle of the ancestral hall, where the two pupils were located.

It was as if a statue had suddenly transformed into an incomparably powerful vitality, breaking free from the blockade of the statues in the ancestral hall without hesitation and transforming into a materialized totem of fire power, like a lifelike soul of the Vermillion Bird awakening.

He stared at Xu Yang not far away in front of him with his extremely sharp, fiery gaze.

"Who are you?"

The other party merely uttered such a cold, inquiring voice, which seemed a little thin, but there was no doubt that the authenticity of its objective existence was thoroughly confirmed. This was not the so-called illusionary space at all, but the real Suzaku that had transformed into the form of its own totem soul.

"I just came up here with the Fifth Prince to take a look, why are you so excited?

Or do you want to convey or confirm some news to me?"

The Vermillion Bird Totem seemed particularly agitated, and its eyes never left Xu Yang from beginning to end. "I have detected the aura of my master from you, so no matter what, I must verify your true identity!
