Phoenix Three Tribulations

These three Heaven Stele were indeed a very difficult Xuan Ze. In terms of their profoundness, the first one should be the Quiet Tablet, which contains the Time Law.

Then comes the Boundary Tablet of Space Law, and finally the Illusion Tablet containing the Mental Power Law.

However, if practicality is the priority, the Illusion Tablet is one that most people are willing to try to comprehend, since the uses of Mental Power are too extensive.

In reality, very few people have reached the top of the Mental Power stone tablet, proving that it is not easy to comprehend any stone tablet.

As time went by, more and more martial artists appeared. Among them, the fewest were from the Fire Qilin Clan, the most were from the Insect Race Clan, and there were dozens of martial artists from the Rakshasa and Landis Empire. All of them who were able to come here were exceptional geniuses, one in a billion.

Lanka of the Landis Empire Xuan Ze the Illusion Tablet, Jinnaluo of the Rakshasa Empire Xuan Ze the Boundary Tablet.

The Insect Race commanders, except for the Mantis Race commander who Xuan Ze the Quiet Tablet, each Xuan Ze one of the other two stele steles.

Ye Hua, the proud one of the Fire Qilin, Xuan Ze the Boundary Tablet.

"The best isn't necessarily the right one. I hope my Cold Stone will work."

Ye Hua up and landed on one of the first stone pillars of the Illusion Tablet.

Many of the Fire Qilin warriors followed Ye Hua up the stone pillar.

Upon reaching the stone pillar, the first thing you see is the faint glow of the stone tablet.

The feeling from above the stone pillar is completely different from that from below. Some characters emerge on the stone tablet, each character seemingly distorted, hazy, distant, and indistinct, as if in another space, making people unable to help but comprehend and follow.

This is the unique feature of the spatial stele. Only if you can see through and master this inscription will the second row of stone pillars open to you; otherwise, you will absolutely not be able to climb up.

The same applies to the stone tablet of Mental Power. Every character is floating and wandering. You can only concentrate your Mental Power to comprehend and understand it. There is no other way.

The same is true of the stone tablet of the Time Law. Only a dozen or so characters can be seen in the first row, which is very few. However, newcomers cannot recognize a single character.

"Ugh! What the heck?! These characters don't even look alike, how are we supposed to figure them out? Are we being asked to be linguistic experts?"

A powerful expert from the Insect Race Star System Stage couldn't help but shout, but before he could finish his complaint, a golden bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, instantly obliterating him.

Some martial artists gave him a disdainful look. "We've already told you this is a forbidden area left behind by ancient gods, and you still dare to talk nonsense. You deserve it."

However, what this person said makes some sense. To comprehend the stone tablet, one needs not only aptitude and talent, but also strength, and even more importantly, perseverance.

At this moment, Ye Hua of the Fire Kirin Empire took out the Cold Stone. After absorbing it, a cool aura entered his eyes, and the characters on the stone tablet vaguely appeared.

"Oh! Cold Stone!"

People took out Cold Stone Cold Stone, and with their help, they gradually made out the characters on the stone tablet.

But just because you can see it clearly doesn't mean you understand it. Some of the words are completely incoherent, and some are so obscure that you have no idea what they mean.

Some people suddenly laughed while watching, some suddenly cried, some shook their heads as if in ecstasy, and some remained silent, completely clueless.

People prepare a large amount of Cold Stone. Whenever the power of the previous Cold Stone is exhausted, new Cold Stone must be used. If the reserves are insufficient, they will definitely be discarded.

More and more martial artists entered the Suspended Island, while fewer and fewer people did not come. When new martial artists arrived, they would immediately go to the Heaven Stele to study it, and the place gradually became quiet.

People are making the most of every moment, because only one person can reach the top of each Heaven Stele. Everyone around them is a competitor. If someone else climbs to the top of the highest stele first, then everyone else will lose their chance!

********

The small spaceship traversed the Xinghe, gradually approaching the Suspended Island.

We've been sailing for almost half a month, and we're less than two days away from the Suspended Island.

Lin Zhen sat on the recliner of the small spaceship and shared the information he saw in the Dimensional Universe onto the screen of the small spaceship.

Beside Lin Zhen, Little Phoenix stood obediently on another chair, watching the big screen.

A few days ago, Lin Zhen, worried that Little Phoenix would be bored, started occasionally sharing things from the Dimensional Universe to keep Little Phoenix entertained.

However, the Little Phoenix is not easy to please. Ordinary things cannot arouse its interest at all. Only some shocking news can attract its attention.

For example, Lin Zhen found that he particularly enjoyed reading news about the Chaotic Star River.

However, the situation inside the Suspended Island cannot be transmitted because there is a special force field there that prevents the transmission of video data.

Several days passed, and Little Phoenix stopped paying attention to the Chaotic Star River, always seeming absent-minded.

Seeing that it was in low spirits, Lin Zhen felt bad too.

Just like Little Warm Little Phoenix is connected to Lin Zhen by Blood-Bound. If it is unhappy, Lin Zhen is also unhappy, so they have to find a way to make it happier.

"Little Treasure, how about I find you some information about Phoenix?"

Little Phoenix's eyes lit up as she looked at Lin Zhen with anticipation.

Lin Zhen immediately instructed Chris: "Find all the information you can about Phoenix and give our Little Phoenix something to do."

"Yes, Master."

Soon, a lot of information about the Phoenix appeared on the big screen, all of which were listed by Chris.

"Come here, Little Treasure, look at all these things. They're all about your race—stories, legends, so many of them!"

The Little Phoenix initially tilted its head and looked at the pages with great interest, but after Lin Zhen flipped through them for a while, it seemed to lose interest.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

The Little Phoenix didn't make a sound, but its lack of interest clearly indicated that it had already seen these things.

Lin Zhen pondered silently for a moment. It was not surprising that the Little Phoenix had lived with humans before and had seen this information.

However, Lin Zhen's current access within the Dimensional Universe is limited to this much information; to access more data, he would need higher access levels.

Lin Zhen currently holds several authorized identities: one is the lord of the Tianhe Empire, another is the Asura King of the Asura Arena, and the third is a platinum client of the Sanjiang Star Region Federation.

None of these three identities are particularly high; at least to the Fire Qilin, they are utterly insignificant.

To gain higher privileges, Lin Zhen needs a higher status.

Seeing that Little Phoenix was unhappy, Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said to Chris, "Go to the Universe First Bank branch on Kirin Saint Star."

The next moment, Lin Zhen appeared in front of the bank branch.

"To open an account, how much money do I need to deposit for your highest level of customer access?"

"Sir, the minimum account opening amount here is 100 million Qilin Coin, silver customers are 1 billion, gold customers are 10 billion, Diamond customers are 100 billion, and supreme customers are the highest level, but they require the use of Cosmic Crystal. 10 billion Cosmic Crystal are required to open a supreme customer card."

Lin Zhen nodded. Ten billion Cosmic Crystal was indeed a huge fortune in an Advanced Civilization Universe Country, enough to open a supreme account.

"This must be the highest level."

"No, that's not true. A Supreme Star is worth 10 billion. For every additional 10 billion Cosmic Crystal, you can upgrade by one star level, up to a maximum of nine stars."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen immediately checked his wealth.

Back when he was inside the World Stone, Lin Zhen still had over 20 billion Cosmic Crystal left. After many subsequent acquisitions, his total wealth barely exceeded 30 billion.

"Give me a Supreme Three-Star account."

"Ah! If that's the case, I don't have the authority to receive you. I've notified our manager, and he and the vice president will come to receive you immediately."

Lin Zhen waited for a while, and then the vice president and manager from Fire Qilin came running over, extremely attentive.

Lin Zhen had seen this kind of thing many times before, so he didn't pay much attention to their flattery. After depositing 30 billion Cosmic Crystal, Lin Zhen obtained the highest status he had ever held: the three-star supreme card of the Fire Kirin Empire, the Universe First Bank.

This is a lofty status, with access privileges almost equivalent to an emperor in Intermediate Civilization Universe.

With this new identity, Lin Zhen's Intelligent Life, Chris, also received an upgrade, gaining significantly increased access permissions.

After finishing all this, Lin Zhen left the bank and asked Chris again, "Is there any more news about Phoenix?"

"Let me check... I have some owners, I'll send them to you right away."

Soon, some new information appeared on the big screen.

"Little Treasure, look at these things. Have you ever seen them before?"

The Little Phoenix slowly turned its head, seemingly not quite believing that Lin Zhen could find something it didn't know, but it was immediately stunned upon seeing it.

The new information on the screen is called "The Phoenix Three Tribulations".

"The Phoenix is the supreme bird among the Star River Beast, and its life is subject to three tribulations."

"One is Wound Tribulation, a near-death experience that brings life back from the brink."

"The two are destined to be Love Tribulation, and their infatuation will ultimately come to nothing."

"These three are Death Tribulation; there is no escaping them!"

"Those who survive three tribulations will not become phoenixes."

Lin Zhen was stunned when he saw these words. How could the Phoenix's fate be so bumpy?

Is the Little Phoenix, Blood-Bound, also going to suffer such a calamity? Looking at the words "inescapable calamity," Lin Zhen felt waves of displeasure.

"Shut it up, shut it up! What nonsense! It's all just rumors and deception."

Chris turned off the big screen, but Little Phoenix was still in a daze for a long time.

These words clearly had an impact on the Little Phoenix. Lin Zhen was initially very worried about it, but after a while, the Little Phoenix's mood improved, as if it had figured something out.

It was quite unusual for it to jump into Lin Zhen's arms on its own initiative, obediently lying on his chest, letting Lin Zhen stroke its feathers.

When it's happy and comfortable, it will chirp a few times, which makes Lin Zhen quickly forget about the Phoenix Three Tribulations.

That night, Little Phoenix didn't sleep alone, but instead spent the night nestled in Lin Zhen's arms.

The next morning, Lin Zhen woke up to the chirping of Little Phoenix.

Looking at the radar screen, we were less than a hundred star miles from the Suspended Island; we would arrive in a few more hours.
