The Ying Family Ancestor, the Nine-Colored Primal Phoenix?!
Little Li was afraid that Tian Miao fit a certain characteristic of charlatans—good things didn't come true, but bad things did.
"If this object turns black and hot, it means it has sensed malevolent Sha Qi, indicating that a demon is approaching, and I will also sense it at that time."
Tian Miao took out a White Jade Pendant and said solemnly.
She handed the jade pendant to Li Mo.
The group searched for clues in the Underground Palace. Tian Miao seemed very interested in this ancient Underground Palace and took the lead.
Since there were no signs that her destiny was in danger, Li Mo did not suggest that the three of them go together.
Then.
Li Mo held the Clam Pearl in one hand and the soft hand of the Ice Block in the other, carefully searching the Underground Palace.
Midway through, he tried to release his Will Soul to expand the search area, but unfortunately, the Underground Palace seemed to have a confusing effect on the perception of Will Soul. His Will Soul, which could originally detect a hundred feet in an instant, could now only detect a few feet in a radius.
It's more convenient to just look at it with your eyes.
The two walked through the Underground Palace.
Little Li felt a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had been in a haunted house or escape room with his classmates in a past life.
The reason why Little Li is a genius is because he has many bold ideas, so he has always been very daring, and he always finds it boring when he is dragged to play.
Especially when I see those young couples going together, the girl screaming and trying to burrow into the boy's arms.
Now...
He seemed to suddenly realize what was fun about it.
"Ice Block!"
Li Mo suddenly turned around with a serious expression, clutching the White Jade Pendant in his arms. "The jade pendant seems to be getting hot."
"?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Bing frowned and looked into the distance, where she saw only a few statues.
Its form is rather ancient, somewhat resembling the Witch Spirit statues I saw in the Demon Summoning Cult in Southern Border.
Where did the demon come from?
But what Little Li said sounded very convincing.
Ying Bing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she tightened her grip on his hand.
"It seems... it doesn't seem to be a demon..."
Li Mo suddenly asked in a horrified tone, "Is it possible... a vengeful spirit?! A ghost trapped in this great tomb, never to see the light of day again for thousands of years?"
"?"
Ying Bing's expression was aloof. She was about to reach for her sword when she suddenly felt something was amiss.
Yin energy is also a type of Yin Qi.
If something similar exists, she should be the first to notice it.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the White Jade Pendant in Li Mo's arms; the sliver between his fingers was clearly still pure white.
The jade pendant did not change color.
Unless...
Ying Bing stared intently at Li Mo, and saw that when Little Li Mo met her icy gaze, his first reaction was to look to the left. He always did that when he felt guilty.
"... I saw it too."
"Um?"
Li Mo, who had been looking very serious, was taken aback.
Shouldn't Ice Block be nervously close to him, then fearfully ask where the ghosts are?
Things don't seem to be going quite right!
"You... you really saw it?"
"Yes, really, and it's getting closer and closer." Ying Bing's cold face was serious.
"!"
Little Li leaned back slightly.
He was originally quite bold, because he was a staunch materialist in his previous life. But the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are completely different from his previous world; even creatures like the demon demon have appeared, so the existence of ghosts seems quite reasonable...
Moreover, Ice Block had a cold expression on her face, and her lips parted slightly.
It inexplicably gives off a "don't say you weren't warned" vibe...
That's right, she has the Taiyin Moon Phoenix Body, and is extremely sensitive to Yin Qi energy. Could it be that...?
"It's here."
Ying Bing suddenly looked behind Li Mo!
Li Mo jolted, turned around and shielded the Ice Block behind him, pressing it tightly against his back, and picked up the forty in his hand.
But the place was empty, with only a few ancient statues in the style of the Demon Summoning Cult.
There's nothing there...
"Perhaps... I'm seeing things."
"?"
Ying Bing buried her face in his shoulder; she had initially thought Li Mo was deliberately trying to scare her, so she retaliated by scaring him back.
Then he looked at Li Mo with a half-smile, telling him to behave.
Before she could even manage a half-smile, her face was buried in Li Mo's shoulder. Suddenly, she realized his silly expression wasn't funny anymore.
"You misread it?"
After a moment of confusion, Li Mo realized that the person who had just logged on was Huaihuai Ice Block, but he had no proof.
Just as he was about to speak, shouts came from the direction Tian Miao had gone.
"I've found something, come and take a look!"
"Coming right away!"
Li Mo responded with a single sentence, and with that interruption, he didn't have time to ask any more questions.
Ice Block got away with it √
However, the two had only been gone a short while.
Crunch, crunch--
Suddenly, a slight sound came from the statue in the darkness, and the surface of the skin peeled off with a rustling sound.
One of them, its stone shell peeled off its eyes, suddenly emitting a ghostly, bloodthirsty green light.
Li Mo led Ying Bing, and the two quickly found Tian Miao, who was standing in front of a mural.
The mural was painted with Qilin Smoke Ink, and its vibrant colors have remained for many years, making the scenes depicted still incredibly lifelike.
The first mural depicts a scene where the heavens and earth have split open, a great flood has swept across the land, the sun has been extinguished, and stars have fallen, a scene resembling the end of the world.
"This painting depicts the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths! This is a major discovery."
"Our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths may very well have experienced cataclysmic destruction, even teetering on the brink of annihilation."
Tian Miao looked at the mural, her calm tone barely concealing her excitement.
This is a piece of history that has never been recorded in any of the ancient texts of the Heaven Derivation Sect.
Li Mo and Ying Bing exchanged a glance and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Jade Phoenix God.
They had seen similar scenes within the Jade Phoenix God.
One by one, the powerful beings departed from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, taking with them the 'Dao' they had refined, leaving this world incomplete.
Thus, many primordial beings sacrificed themselves to cultivate the Dao, such as the Innate Golden Crow.
The master of the Jade Phoenix God, the Nine-Colored Primal Phoenix, traveled the world, preserving the seeds of life for countless beings.
"Could the events depicted in this mural be something that happened after that?"
"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, in the end, still collapsed?"
There was a lot of information to be had, Li Mo took a deep breath.
But now, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and earth are clearly safe and sound.
Clearly, the mural is not yet finished.
Holding the glowing Clam Pearl, the three searched around for a moment and, sure enough, found another mural.
The second image shows nine people dressed in strange clothes descending from a large hole in the sky, surrounded by thousands of living beings kneeling and worshipping them.
Among the nine people, one was a woman who was in charge.
She was dressed in a shimmering, colorful feathered robe, exuding an aura of natural tranquility, with a serene and compassionate expression.
"!"
Jade Phoenix God; that gentle and compassionate temperament was unparalleled in the world.
Her face seemed to slowly become clear at this moment.
At the same time, it slowly overlaps with the already dilapidated statue in the Ying Family Ancestral Hall.
"She is... the Nine-Colored Primal Phoenix?"
"And also... an ancestor of the Ying Family?!"
Li Mo felt a chill run down his spine, and a thunderbolt flashed through his mind.
Ying Bing's small hand in the palm of his hand suddenly curled up, clearly Ying Bing.
I'd appreciate it if you viewers would support me, hehe.
