Target

Upon hearing Yan Kong's words, Shanhai nodded slightly, "Release some of the Chains first, so I can use my Divine Ability to check on Fourth Sister's condition!"

"Okay!" This time, Yan Kong agreed without hesitation.

The Chains were removed, Shanhai's eyes widened slightly, revealing profound and complex Spirit Mark in his pupils.

That is Tongming Netherworld-Seeing Divine Eye!

As his gaze fell, all obstacles were stripped away, and the scene inside the fiery red giant egg came into view.

The Phoenix True Fire blazed fiercely, and amidst the blazing flames, Yang Tianxue remained serene, curled up like an infant with her knees drawn up to her chest. In her Sea of Consciousness, two souls were intertwined.

On one side was Yang Tianxue, and on the other was a Phoenix Divine Bird.

The souls of these two entities merged in an extremely illogical way, but at the level of consciousness, the battle never ceased, each vying for control of the body's core.

Yang Tianxue did not want to share her body with other living beings, so she resisted desperately.

Although the Phoenix Divine Bird was extremely powerful in life, its remaining soul and consciousness after death were extremely fragile. It could only barely Yang Tianxue. Judging from the situation, it is estimated that it will take another hundred years for a winner to be decided.

"So that's how it is. So, the attempt to seize another's body failed, and they ended up merging with each other in this way?" Shanhai stroked his chin, and soon came up with an idea.

He turned to Yan Kong and said, "Untie all the Chains. I need to help Fourth Sister resolve her troubles!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Kong did not hesitate. In fact, even without the Chains suppressing him, he was not afraid of the Shanhai.

After his power was fully restored, he communicated with the Jade Register Heavenly Book Heaven and the Mountain Shanhai, opened his Heavenly Eye, and an ancient Copper Mirror appeared, reflecting a beam of divine light that shot straight into the fiery red giant egg.

In Yang Tianxue's Sea of Consciousness, a mirror-like light descended, illuminating the two intertwined souls.

Under the majesty of the Heavenly Book, a look of fear involuntarily appeared in the eyes of the Phoenix Remnant Soul, but soon, this expression froze, and its entire remnant soul was absorbed into the Mirror Spirit Space.

As her soul was absorbed into the Mirror Spirit Space, her consciousness naturally dissipated as well. Yang Tianxue raised her head in confusion and suddenly heard a strange yet familiar voice.

"Fourth Sister, focus on your cultivation. This Phoenix Nirvana Pool is a great fortuitous opportunity; you must seize it!"

"Nineteenth Younger Brother?" Yang Tianxue was overjoyed and nodded quickly. Without the hindrance of the Phoenix Remnant Soul, she was now in charge of the Nirvana Pool.

Splash!

As the sound of rushing water echoed, all the Nirvana Pool poured into the fiery red giant egg. A clear Phoenix Cry faintly resounded, and a hazy female figure emerged, reaching out to touch Yan Kong's head.

"Sister Xue..." Yan Kong cried out in joy.

Yang Tianxue transmitted a message into his mind, informing him of her origins and related circumstances, before continuing her slumber to refine the exceptionally pure Phoenix Blood within her body.

Shanhai stood to the side, his eyes half-closed, reading the information extracted from the Phoenix Remnant Soul.

"So this Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land suddenly fell from the sky and is not from this world. No wonder it is so strange..." Shanhai opened his eyes, his face thoughtful.

"Are you the Nineteenth Younger Brother? Why do you look different from what Sister Xue described?" Yan Kong asked, puzzled.

Shanhai reached out and flicked his forehead, saying irritably, "How dare you call me 'Nineteenth Younger Brother'? According to seniority, you should call me 'Nineteen Brother'!"

"Furthermore, I am not the real person; my Shanhai, and I am an avatar!"

"A clone, Shanhai?" Yan Kong's eyes widened. The Heavenly Demon Inheritance naturally contained knowledge about clones, but he had never seen one before.

So, as Shanhai's cheeks twitched, the monkey child touched him all over, acting quite familiar with him.

With a disgruntled look, Shanhai grabbed Yan Kong by the neck and tossed him aside, saying, "Now that Fourth Sister's troubles are resolved, I won't linger any longer. You continue your cultivation here and, while you're at it, protect Fourth Sister!"

"Alright!" Yan Kong nodded slightly.

"This is a gift for our first meeting, please accept it!" Shanhai took out a Flame Essence Core and handed it to Yan Kong.

The latter took it, feeling the surging Spiritual Qi contained within, his eyes lit up, and he quickly put it away. Then, with a shameless grin, he asked, "Shanhai, is there any more?"

After leaving behind two more Flame Essence Cores, Shanhai left the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land with a face full of black lines, while Yan Kong waved goodbye with a simple and honest expression.

After resolving the troubles encountered by his Fourth Sister, Yang Tianxue, Shanhai stopped searching for his Sixth Brother Yang Tiankang, and his Thirteenth Granduncle Yang Danglong. Both of them had very stable Fortune pillars and were surrounded by azure-purple aura, clearly indicating that they were experiencing great fortune and there was no need to interfere.

Let's finish the important business first, then we can look for them.

Upon arriving in the Nine Phoenix Realm, Shanhai has two main tasks.

First, gather concrete evidence of the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty's hidden strength.

Second, plunder resources, especially Spirit Vein Essence; the more, the better.

To accomplish these two things, we must rely on the Jade Register Heavenly Book.

Firstly, the fact that the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty has kept its strength hidden for so many years without being discovered proves that this information is also top secret within the Jiufeng Imperial Clan, and it is estimated that only the most powerful members at the very top would know about it.

The current problem is how to get into the upper echelons of the Nine-Phoenix Clan.

The simplest and quickest way to cultivate prodigies and reach the ears of the emperor.

Races like the Nine-Phoenix Clan, which possess the Divine Beast Bloodline, place a very high value on their bloodline.

Therefore, as long as one can control a genius of the Nine-Phoenix Clan with extremely pure bloodline, there is a great chance to directly enter the upper echelons of the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty.

At least you can establish connections with those important figures, making intelligence Detection much easier.

With a direction in mind, the next step is to find a target.

Therefore, after leaving the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Land, Shanhai rushed to the Nine-Phoenix Continent without stopping.

That's the lair of the Nine-Phoenix Clan; finding a suitable target shouldn't be difficult.

As for the second point, gathering resources, that's a long-term task, so there's no rush.

Once the foundation is laid and contact is established with other tribes, it's not too late to take action.
