"Your stuff?" Yi Xichen frowned. In fact, before coming here, he had already had some vague guesses, because Xiao Lijun told Xiao Kui that the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl was related to the Tianjian Sect, so he asked Xiao Kui to infiltrate the Tianjian Sect.

The Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl is a magical pearl left behind by the ancient Phoenix God after his nirvana. It is a magic weapon that can truly save lives and even bring people back to life. Physical injuries can often be healed by magic and other magical materials, but damage to the soul is irreversible. However, only this Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl can nourish the damaged soul.

The reason why Xiao Lijun went to the Void World was probably to ask Yuan Chen how to find the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl. But he met Yi Xichen on the way and found that the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl was in Yi Xichen's body. So after seeing Yuan Chen saving people, he said that he didn't need to ask what he wanted to ask.

"After the Phoenix God passed away, the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl remained in the world. A thousand years ago, it came into my hands and has been mine ever since. However, five hundred years ago, during the battle with the Formless Heavenly Demon, I was seriously injured and lost the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl. Later, the Fire Pearl fell into the hands of the demon dragon."

The demon dragon refers to the demon king Long Ruijun. After the demon-killing war, Fenglian Xiaozu disappeared from the cultivation world. There were even rumors that he had died because he was seriously injured in the war and was reborn in the fire. In fact, he did not die, but turned back into a phoenix egg to recuperate.

In order to retrieve the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl, twenty years ago, the young ancestor Fenglian took his injured body to find Long Ruijun. Although Long Ruijun was a demon king, he was not a match for the young ancestor Fenglian. However, because he did not have the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl, the young ancestor Fenglian's injuries could never be healed. The dragon and the phoenix fought for three days and three nights, and both were evenly matched, and both were injured. While fighting for the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl, this rare magic weapon fell into the mountains and drifted away with the water.

At that time, Yi Xichen's pregnant mother was downstream of the river, and by some strange coincidence, she picked up the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl. It should have been a blessing to get such a rare treasure, if they had not lost their lives later. Yi Xichen's parents did not know what the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl was, but they only knew it was a treasure. Before giving birth to Yi Xichen, they refined the pearl into a pill and gave it to Yi Xichen's mother. Then the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl fell into Yi Xichen's body.

It took the young ancestor Fenglian a lot of effort to find out that the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl was taken away by Yi Xichen's parents. He wanted them to hand over the Fire Pearl, but they could not.

Yi Xichen felt his blood boiling. "It was once yours, so you could kill my parents and my master?!"

"It shouldn't be." said the Phoenix Lotus Patriarch. "These lives are all my fault. However, my heavenly tribulation is approaching. If I don't have the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl, I will definitely not be able to survive it safely."

Originally, Fenglian Xiaozu should not have gone to Long Ruijun as his injury had not healed, but he realized that his heavenly tribulation was approaching and he could not wait for a few years, so he had to get the fire bead back before the heavenly tribulation. So he took the risk.

He thought that Yi Xichen's parents had seized the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl and refused to hand it over, so he was furious and wanted to kill them. He summoned the Heavenly Fire to kill Yi Xichen's parents. When Yi Xichen returned home, he found his parents burning in the fire. When he tried to save his parents, he was also burned by the Heavenly Fire, and his damaged soul was sucked into the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl. The Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl contained the damaged soul and entered a sealed state, which made it unusable by others before it was unsealed. So the Phoenix Lotus Ancestor could not touch Yi Xichen for a while.

The other elders of Tianjian Sect may not know that the young master was injured, but Yao Budu, as the elder of Yaoge, knew more than others. Yuying Zhenren would regularly ask Yao Budu to refine elixirs for healing and ask him for them every month. Although the elixirs were given to Yuying Zhenren, Yuying Zhenren was not injured, and Yuying Zhenren never allowed Yao Budu to tell anyone about this.

Yao Budu connected the matter of the elixir with the forbidden area in the back mountain, and naturally guessed that it was Little Ancestor Fenglian. After all, there were not many people who could drive Jade Ying Zhenren to do things. Yao Budu was very smart, and it was unknown what clues he found, and it was unknown when he began to suspect Little Ancestor Fenglian was the real murderer who killed Yi Xichen's parents. So he sneaked into the forbidden area and began to investigate Little Ancestor Fenglian.

Fenglian Xiaozu said, "I made a wrong move, and every step I took was wrong."

He couldn't let Yao Budu tell anyone about it. If he lost the prestige of the young master and the protection of the Heavenly Sword Sect before taking back the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl, his situation would become even more dangerous. He didn't want to make a fuss and alert Yi Xichen. Although he didn't know when his heavenly tribulation would come, he had a hunch that it would probably be in the next ten years or so. In fact, even if Yi Xichen did nothing and dragged his feet to unlock the seal, so that he couldn't get the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl, he would completely perish in the heavenly tribulation.

So he instructed Jade Ying to accept Yi Xichen as his disciple and to refine Yi Xichen's body so as to unlock the seal of the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl as soon as possible.

He also found that his eldest grandson Jun had become a potential threat to him, especially when he learned that Jun had summoned the skyfire at the sword competition. So he made a move to kill two birds with one stone, killing Yao Budu and framing Jun to separate the two of them.

Not all the people in Tianjian Sect were stupid. If they knew that he did such a thing for his own selfish desires, even if he was a junior ancestor, they would be as rebellious as Yao Budu. Fortunately, Yuying Zhenren was Wei Changyun's disciple. Although she did not receive Wei Changyun's true teachings, under Wei Changyun's teachings, she obeyed his orders and never asked right or wrong. As long as it was an order from him, Yuying Zhenren would accept it.

However, he did not expect that Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson, Zijun, had such a strong bond that Yi Xichen would rather defect from the Tianjian Sect than be separated from his eldest grandson, Zijun. In the chaos, the young ancestor of Fenglian could only sneak into Yi Xichen's Qiankun bag and stay by his side for the time being before making further plans.

He was originally a wounded body, and summoning the Heavenly Fire would consume a large amount of spiritual energy, so when Yi Xichen first saw him outside the Fengqi Palace, he was still a lively spirit beast egg, but when he arrived outside the Tianjian Gate, he spontaneously entered a dormant state.

"Huh?" Yi Xichen stood side by side with his eldest grandson Zijun, pointing two swords at him. "What you did, several lives, just one wrong word, can it be erased?!"

"It can't be erased." Fenglian Xiaozu remained calm, but the sword array under his feet began to glow. "However, I must live. Even if I make mistakes again and again!"

Countless sword lights emerged in the sword formation and stabbed towards the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen!

The eldest grandson Jun's sword was as powerful as ten thousand swords. The sword energies collided, and countless lights and shadows shattered in the air, illuminating the entire valley like golden snow!

When the young master Fenglian saw the precious sword in his hand, he raised his eyebrows and said, "The Rainbow Slashing Sword." However, he flipped his hand and a precious sword that was as red as a blazing flame appeared in his hand. It was the first Rainbow Slashing Sword in the world left by Wei Changyun in the past!

The up-and-comer meets the pioneer, the disciple meets the ancestor, but the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen are not at all timid, the two figures intertwine with each other, and they break into the sword formation together, assisting each other and working in perfect harmony!

In the ghost world, when Wei Changyun resolutely stabbed his sword into his chest and said, "Master, you must live", Yi Xichen felt shocked and sad. But when Fenglian Xiaozu said, "I must live", he was indifferent. Everyone wants to live, for any reason. Everyone has someone they love and something they must do. He is willing to sacrifice for the one he loves, but he has no intention of understanding the helplessness of the one who killed his loved ones - how could Fenglian Xiaozu ever experience their helplessness and despair? !

The eldest grandson, Jun, had already rushed to the center of the sword formation. The two Rainbow-cutting Swords collided, and golden and red lights shot straight into the sky. In an instant, the earth shook! !

After the light faded, the young master Fenglian was finally driven back from the center of the sword formation, but his eldest grandson, Zijun, also took two steps back. Although the young master Fenglian was half injured, his cultivation was about to pass the great heavenly tribulation, so how could he be underestimated?

The eldest grandson Jun was about to attack again, but the earth-shaking and mountain-shaking never stopped. The sound of swords clashing continued to be heard, but not from in front of them, but from far away - all around the entire Tianjian Mountain. All the sword array barriers that were originally used to protect the mountain seemed to be out of control. Countless densely packed swords floated into the air, surrounding the entire Tianjian Mountain!

The eldest grandson, Zijun, and Yi Xichen were both shocked: "What are you doing?!"

"All the sword formations on this mountain were carefully laid out after I founded the Tianjian Sect," said the young master Fenglian, with a dark light floating around him. "It took me 7749 years to carefully lay them out. I wanted everyone in Tianjian Mountain to be able to practice peacefully without being disturbed by the outside world."

Thousands of swords rolled around the mountain, forming a dense sword net. Some out-of-control swords began to fall toward the mountain.

"If Tianjian Mountain is breached and occupied by someone," said the young ancestor Fenglian slowly, "then this sword formation still has one last move, called the Mountain Destroying Formation."

"You're crazy!!"

The so-called mountain-destroying formation means taking the entire mountain with it! The young master Fenglian asked Master Yuying to gather all the disciples of the sect to the sword-training ground. Who on earth was he going to destroy? ! In the past, he spent a lot of effort to set up the sword formation to protect his disciples, but now, the enemy has not come, but he wants to destroy everything himself? !

In the linked sword formation, there are four floating swords dancing. The changes in their positions correspond to the changes in the mountain sword formation. ——These four swords are the center of the formation! The spiritual power of the ten thousand swords in the entire mountain sword formation is maintained by these four swords! If these four swords can be restrained, then the mountain-destroying formation cannot be launched!

The eldest grandson Jun flew towards the four swords almost the moment he realized it, but he also realized the second thing at the same time - this was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Since killing Yao Budu, Fenglian Xiaozu has been doing one thing, that is, trying to separate him and Yi Xichen, because with him around, it is difficult for Fenglian Xiaozu to attack Yi Xichen.

They had gone through countless hardships and dangers along the way, and finally returned to this place, but the young ancestor of Fenglian was still doing this. He wanted to use the four spirit swords to restrain his eldest grandson Jun, and then he could attack Yi Xichen!

The eldest grandson, Zijun, gritted his teeth and said, "You won't." This is the sect founded by the young master Fenglian. It is the result of his hard work over thousands of years. If he had not been possessed by a demon, how could he be so crazy as to use the safety of the entire sect as a threat to control his weapon? !

"Maybe I won't." Little Ancestor Fenglian said, "But you won't sit idly by. Why don't we take a gamble? I will survive no matter what the cost. I have been cultivating for two thousand years, and my heavenly tribulation is coming soon. I will be able to ascend to become an immortal soon, so how can I give up?!"

One of the four swords suddenly stabbed at a rock. At the same time, the thousands of swords floating on the mountain fell down, and it was unknown where they landed. The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen could vaguely hear the shouts and noises coming from outside.

If Tianjian Mountain is destroyed, what will happen to the hundreds of people on the mountain, including the elders and disciples? This mountain-destroying formation is meant to destroy the enemy together with them!

The eldest grandson, Jun, was faster than his consciousness. He had no time to think before he rushed to the center of the array of four swords. He tried to control the four swords with his spiritual power, and the rain of swords hanging on the mountain was stabilized. However, the people on Tianjian Mountain were out of danger, but he was also trapped in the array and could not get out.

The Phoenix Lotus Master turned to Yi Xichen and said with a smile: "Give me the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl, and everything will be over."

Yi Xichen looked at him coldly and said sarcastically, "Before I came here, I was still thinking, if it was really you, you did so much just to get the Golden Phoenix and Fire Pearl, what do you want the Golden Phoenix and Fire Pearl for? If it was to save Master Yunchang..."

When Wei Changyun was mentioned, Fenglian Xiaozu's expression changed slightly. He seemed to want to say something, but swallowed it back: "I have a lot of things I want to do, but I have to live. After I ascend, I can..."

"Have you ever thought that maybe your fate is the things you have done, and that you have not kept your original intention?"

Fenglian's eyebrows moved slightly. After a moment, he smiled: "If I say that I want to take back the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl in order to save Changyun, will you give it to me?"

"No." Yi Xichen said, "What you can only do after you ascend, I can also do after I ascend."

"Yes, you may be able to do better than me." Fenglian Xiaozu said, "So why should I use that child as an excuse? In the final analysis, it's all for myself."

"You understand."

"I understand." The Rainbow-cutting Sword in the hands of Little Ancestor Fenglian pointed at Yi Xichen, "Since I've already made a mistake, why not make it to the end and see what awaits me in the future."

The eldest grandson, Zijun, and the sword formation were restraining each other. At this moment, only Yi Xichen was facing the young master of Fenglian. Although his cultivation had greatly improved after practicing with the eldest grandson, Zijun, it was difficult for him to deal with the young master of Fenglian who was close to the Mahayana stage.

The powerful sword energy rushed towards Yi Xichen. He did not dare to confront it head-on and stepped back. The rocks behind where he had just stood were immediately smashed into pieces by the sword energy!

The continuous attacks fell on Yi Xichen, forcing him to barely defend himself and not even have a chance to counterattack. Yi Xichen's forehead was already slightly sweaty.

He rolled on the ground like a wolf, and just as he avoided the blade of the Rainbow Cutting Sword, he felt the sword energy approaching from behind. Before he could stand up, he rolled over several more times.

The entire forbidden area in the back mountain is full of sword formations, which are impossible to defend against. This forbidden area is to Xiao Lian, just like the ghost world is to Xiao Lijun. This is their territory, and they have all kinds of tricks. That's why Xiao Lian didn't break up with Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun when he left the ghost world, but waited for them to come here. He can do anything to survive, so he must be sure of victory!

Yi Xichen barely dodged several waves of attacks and stood on the ground with his sword, panting. He had not even launched an attack on Fenglian Xiaozu before most of his spiritual power had been consumed. The gap between them was too great.

The young master Fenglian would not give him a chance to breathe, and pointed his sword at him once again!

Ping!

The sword energies collided, and the sword in Yi Xichen's hand was actually bounced away, while a sword pierced his chest. The huge impact made him fly out like a kite, and his body was nailed into the mountain wall by the sword!

"Xichen!" The eldest grandson, Zijun, cried out anxiously. However, he could not turn back to save him. If he gave up the control of the sword formation, hundreds of people on the sword training ground would have died!

Yi Xichen felt a sharp pain in his chest and a sweetness in his throat, and he almost vomited blood. However, he swallowed the blood and raised his hand to grab the sword that pierced his chest. He didn't have time to dodge, but he managed to avoid the vital part. He endured the pain and tried to pull the sword out, but he didn't expect that the sword seemed to grow together with the mountain wall behind him, and it didn't move at all!

Fenglian Xiaozu stepped forward step by step: "You lost."

"Who knows!" Yi Xichen gritted his teeth, flipped his hand, and his sword that was knocked away flew back and pierced the back of Fenglian Xiaozu!

However, it was not impossible for Xiaozu Fenglian to avoid such a move. He turned around and Yi Xichen's sword flew past him!

But then he heard the sound of rocks cracking. When he turned around, he saw Yi Xichen's sword flying back and piercing the mountain wall, actually splitting it in half!

It turns out that the sword that stabbed the Phoenix Lotus Patriarch was just a feint, his real purpose is here!

The rocks shattered, and Yi Xichen was finally freed from the sword and the mountain wall!

Fenglian Xiaozu raised his eyebrows, raised his hand, and the sword that was nailed to Yi Xichen's chest flew out. Blood immediately spurted out from Yi Xichen's wound. He shook his body and stood still with gritted teeth.

"Little Ancestor is not that powerful." Yi Xichen could still laugh at this moment, "Why, I have kept it as my pet for so long, and you are reluctant to kill it?"

Fenglian Xiaozu just smiled. He was indeed restrained when he attacked, but it was not because he was afraid of hurting Yi Xichen, but because he was afraid of damaging the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl.

Yi Xichen flew backwards, and just as he landed on the ground, he felt a surge of golden energy under his feet. He quickly jumped up, and a sword flew out from the ground where he had just stood. If he had not dodged quickly, he would have been pierced by the sword again.

"Why bother to fight to the death?" Compared to Yi Xichen's desperate situation, the young ancestor of Fenglian seemed to be at ease. "Give me the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl. After I ascend, if there is a chance, I may be able to reunite your remaining soul and let you take over my body and be reborn."

"Ha! Then I'm different from you." Yi Xichen said, "If I ascend, I won't let you live again!"

Fenglian Xiaozu shook his head slightly. He had been with Yi Xichen for several months, and he knew that Yi Xichen would never give up like this. He wanted to live, did Yi Xichen want to live less than him? He had been cultivating for two thousand years, and those who had accompanied him had left one by one. He lived for himself, but the person Yi Xichen cared about the most and wanted to accompany the most was fighting hard not far away. Neither of them gave up.

Maybe if he had killed his eldest grandson, Zijun, earlier, Yi Xichen would be much easier to deal with today, thought Fenglian. But it was too late, and they had now reached a point where they had to fight to the death.

The swords clashed continuously, and the murderous aura rushed straight to the sky.

Yi Xichen had more and more wounds on his body. He was always at a disadvantage, but he never showed weakness. He was always trying his best, even though he knew he would definitely lose, even though he couldn't find a chance to fight back, but he became more and more courageous and always went all out.

Fenglian Xiaozu suddenly felt confused. Why was Yi Xichen fighting? His spiritual power was being consumed more and more, and his movements were becoming slower and slower. He couldn't possibly win, so why didn't he seem to be tired at all? What was he expecting?

The swords collided again, with a loud bang and sparks. This time Yi Xichen's sword did not fall out of his hand, but his sword was broken abruptly!

"Aren't you going to admit defeat yet?" Looking at the broken sword in Yi Xichen's hand, even Fenglian Xiaozu began to feel a little disgusted with war.

"What does it mean to admit defeat?" Yi Xichen tightly grasped the broken sword in his hand, and blood flowed from his knuckles. "If we don't fight to the last moment, who knows who will win!"

Young Ancestor Fenglian sneered, and rushed forward. The red light of the Rainbow Sword in his hand became brighter, and he chopped directly at Yi Xichen!

However, this time Yi Xichen did not dodge again. The broken sword in his hand was pointed at Fenglian Xiaozu, and he was actually planning to have a head-on fight with Fenglian Xiaozu!

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the young ancestor Fenglian. When sword cultivators compete with each other, it is all based on their cultivation. Even if he was injured, perhaps his eldest grandson Zijun could still fight him, but how could Yi Xichen beat him? ! Moreover, Yi Xichen's spiritual power was running low! If Yi Xichen still had any way to win by defeating the strong with the weak, it would be to use his unexpected and unconventional little tricks, but in this forbidden area in the back mountain, Yi Xichen could not use any tricks.

Could it be that Yi Xichen has given up hope and wants to give it one last try? This is courting death! Didn't he say before that he would never give up? Could it be that he is so naive that he really thinks he still has a chance of winning? !

Fenglian Xiaozu felt something was wrong, but everything happened in a short moment. He did not have enough time to figure out Yi Xichen's motives, let alone face the enemy head-on. He would not be the one to be afraid.

Bang!

When the two swords collided, Yi Xichen used all his skills to resist. Although he did not have the ultimate move of the Stone Body like Gongsun Di, the principle of sword energy protecting the body was similar to that of the Stone Body. When his spiritual power was exhausted, he would no longer have the strength to support himself, and his desperate struggle could only buy him some more time before his death. And that was a very short time!

Buying time? In an instant, Fenglian Xiaozu vaguely guessed Yi Xichen's intention. But before he could think clearly, a sharp pain came from his back! The extremely powerful sword energy pierced his body. He lowered his head and saw the cold and shining edge of the Cangyun Sword that pierced through his chest.

"You lost the bet." The eldest grandson Zijun said coldly.

Yi Xichen's spiritual power had been completely used up. The Rainbow-chopping sword in the hands of the Phoenix Ancestor was only less than a foot away from Yi Xichen's heart, but it could not go even an inch further. His heart had been pierced by the sword, and his spiritual power quickly dissipated.

He turned around in disbelief and met the dark eyes of his eldest grandson.

The four spiritual swords at the center of the Mountain Destroying Formation were inserted into a huge rock. This did not mean that his sword formation was ineffective. The spiritual power supply of the Mountain Protecting and Mountain Destroying Sword Formations did not come from him. Otherwise, if he was not there or fell one day, the sword formation he had carefully laid out would be useless. The purpose of his setting up the sword formation was to protect his disciples and grandchildren even if he was not there one day. Therefore, the spiritual power of the sword formation came from the spiritual veins of the Heavenly Sword Mountain itself. All he could do was drive the sword formation to start. Because the sword formation relied on the spiritual power supplied by the Heavenly Sword Mountain, he could use the sword formation to restrain his eldest grandson Jun, while he himself was not restrained and focused on dealing with Yi Xichen.

The next moment, four spiritual swords sprang out from the rocks and continued to circle.

What the eldest grandson Jun did was not to destroy the sword formation. He could not destroy the 49 years of hard work of the young ancestor of Fenglian in an instant. He was just buying time. Yi Xichen was beaten so badly, and he was also buying time. The eldest grandson Jun was trying to make the sword formation be restrained for a short time so that he could withdraw, and Yi Xichen was buying time for the eldest grandson Jun.

Yi Xichen said so many words at the beginning, mentioned Wei Changyun, dodged all attacks like a wolf, and fought desperately at the last moment, all in order to buy time for Changsun Zijun to temporarily restrain the mountain-destroying formation, and used himself as bait to attract his attention and make him ignore Changsun Zijun's existence. They cooperated so well, and at the last moment, they still won. Only with extreme trust in each other can they turn defeat into victory under such unfavorable conditions!

The eldest grandson, Zijun, believed that Yi Xichen could hold out and delay for a long enough time, and Yi Xichen also believed that the eldest grandson, Zijun, could do it. If they had any distrust of each other, they would not be able to cooperate like this.

Blood flowed down the Cangyun Sword, and anger flashed in the eyes of the young master Fenglian. The four spirit swords were still circling. If he used his last breath to continue to drive the sword formation, the mountain-destroying formation would continue.

Fenglian Xiaozu asked: "Do you think the sword formation has stopped?"

The eldest grandson Jun said calmly: "Can you do it?"

The young master Fenglian could use the Heavenly Sword Sect, to which he had devoted his life's work, as a threat to control his eldest grandson, Jun. Perhaps he could really choose to sacrifice the Heavenly Sword Sect over his own life and the lives of hundreds of people there. But now he was dying, and even if he was to fight to the death, his position would no longer exist. He continued to activate the Mountain Destruction Formation in order to bury hundreds of his disciples with him, rather than to survive.

He has already lost.

Flames started from beneath his feet, his human form gradually dissipated, his hand loosened, and the Rainbow Sword fell to the ground.

"I'm not willing to give up!" The clear sound of the phoenix echoed throughout the entire back mountain, but the four spirit swords finally fell down and disappeared into the ground. The ten thousand swords circling around the Heavenly Sword Mountain also disappeared.

The fiery red phoenix leaped into the sky and gradually disappeared in the raging fire.

The phoenix nirvana is for rebirth. However, having come to this point and lost the Golden Phoenix Fire Pearl, he no longer has the chance of nirvana. He has not even waited for the heavenly tribulation that he had tried so hard to overcome, but he has perished here. Or, as Yi Xichen said, not keeping his original heart is the biggest disaster of his life!

Yi Xichen looked at the fire phoenix disappearing in the sky, and suddenly felt his eyes swell and sore. The huge rock that had been weighing on his heart was lifted, and the strength that supported him was overdrawn. He closed his eyes, and his body fell back softly, but was caught by a warm embrace.

The eldest grandson, Jun, held him in his arms, stroked the back of his neck with his warm and broad hands, and buried his face in his chest: "Take a break, it's all over."
