The conditions for offering Profound Spirit Pavilion are not complicated. One drop of Phoenix Blood can be exchanged for all the rare treasures in the world, including Blazing Sun Iron.
However, this seemingly simple condition is extremely dangerous, and even the innately powerful dare not try it easily.
There are only two places in the world with Phoenix Blood, Longevity Palace, and Phoenix Perch Mountain.
Longevity Palace is the oldest force in the Four Extremes Realm. It has been inherited for a long time and cannot be traced. The palace masters of each generation are extremely powerful men who are infinitely close to or even step into the Three Calamities Realm. For tens of thousands of years, it has been prosperous because there is a phoenix trapped under Longevity Pool.
The phoenix is an extremely proud beast. Even its descendants with few bloodlines still refuse to be enslaved by others. Tens of thousands of years ago, Longevity Palace paid a huge price to trap this phoenix. Even now, it is still walking on thin ice, always on guard against the phoenix breaking out of the seal.
Phoenix cherishes its own body very much. Not to mention the precious Phoenix Blood, not even a single feather will be left to humans. You can imagine how difficult it is to get even a drop of Phoenix Blood.
Back then, generations of the Longevity Palace masters and Four Extremes Realm Lord spent immeasurable costs in order to win over the innate strong men of the Divine Continent land, and just created Human Forbidden Zone and Featherfall Valley in the Divine Continent land.
During these thousands of years, Longevity Palace sent out a total of five drops of Phoenix Blood, which were jointly preserved by the two strongest innates of Featherfall Valley. However, the last drop was snatched away by Prince Yan.
And not long after, the entire Featherfall Valley, together with all the remaining innate old monsters, were dragged to death by Ning Chen, thus destroying the only contact method between the Four Extremes Realm and Divine Continent.
Among the Four Extremes Realm, Longevity Palace has Phoenix Blood, which is known to the world. However, no matter what price other big factions are willing to pay, Longevity Palace is unwilling to let go.
Imperial Enshriners of the Profound Spirit Pavilion has very little life left and is in urgent need of something to extend his life, and Phoenix Blood is one of them.
In addition to the Longevity Palace, the other place in the world where the Phoenix exists is Phoenix Perch Mountain. Among the Four Extremes Realm, apart from the four polar regions, it is the most dangerous unknown place.
In mythology, the phoenix only inhabits Parasol Tree, while Phoenix Perch Mountain has three sycamore trees that are more than ten thousand years old. Ancient books have recorded that three thousand years ago, an innate strong man accidentally entered it and saw traces of the phoenix.
However, in the next three thousand years, Phoenix Perch Mountain became a forbidden area for human warriors, and even Xiantian did not dare to set foot in it easily.
Phoenix Perch Mountain is located in a very hidden place. If someone hadn't discovered it, it might still be a place unknown to everyone.
In Phoenix Perch Mountain, in addition to the possible phoenix, there are also innate-level behemoths that are extremely powerful. This is why the innate strong people in the world are unwilling to set foot in it.
Compared with ordinary people, innately strong people cherish their lives more. Few people are willing to take risks on such dangerous things.
Therefore, when Imperial Enshriners of the Profound Spirit Pavilion stated the conditions, many people gave up this opportunity, including Sword Venerable of Nine Heavens Mountain.
Several sages of Jiuxiao were all in their heyday during the Spring and Autumn Period. Although treasures such as Blazing Sun Iron were very tempting, they did not risk their lives to fight for them.
With the departure of Jiuxiao Sword Venerable, people left one after another, including several very powerful innates.
Profound Spirit Pavilion's Imperial Enshriners had a flash of regret in his eyes. He worked hard to collect heavenly materials and treasures just to attract these strong people. Phoenix Perch Mountain is not that easy to get in. One more person, one more possibility.
However, many people stayed in the end, including the flower-lettered young woman from the Flower Cherishing Palace.
Yi Wanrong also hesitated for a moment, but thinking that her master, Flower Cherishing Palace's former palace master, also had a short lifespan, she chose to stay.
Wuyou naturally stayed, looking through the gauze curtain at the box in the distance, with a slight smile always on her beautiful face.
Ning Chen smiled back, but he was a little surprised. He didn't expect Flower Cherishing Palace to stay in the end. This was the scene he least wanted to see.
Phoenix Blood must be snatched, or he can choose to form an alliance with Wuyou. As for how to distribute the spoils after winning Phoenix Blood, we can discuss it carefully.
Of course, if we can't reach an agreement by then, it's not too late to fight.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen looked at the beautiful figure in the distance and said via voice transmission, "Wuyou, how about we join forces and get Phoenix Blood first?"
Wuyou didn't answer, he just smiled and pointed at the Venerable Flower Cherishing Palace next to him. The meaning was obvious, I can't make the decision.
Ning Chen is speechless. If he dares to reveal his identity, he doesn't have to be so careful.
If the alliance cannot be reached, Ning Chen will no longer force it. Something may not happen by then. Let's act according to the situation.
Half a day later, people from all major forces left Cloudsong City one after another and headed northwest.
Although Phoenix Perch Mountain is a forbidden land for the Four Extremes Realm, people die for money and birds die for food. The natural materials and treasures provided by the Profound Spirit Pavilion are attractive enough, and many people want to take the risk.
After all, no one has actually entered Phoenix Perch Mountain, and all knowledge comes from ancient records and oral traditions.
Li Youwei stayed with Cloudsong City and had other important things to do. The two could only be separated temporarily and complete their respective tasks.
Ning Chen didn't have any objections. It was a lot easier to leave alone.
However, Ning Chen was not in a hurry and followed the major forces slowly, waiting to enter with everyone.
But there will always be strange things in unknown places. He has already suffered a lot, and he is determined not to be the first person this time.
He has seen Taotie, Nine-Headed Infant, and it would not be unusual if a legendary phoenix actually appeared this time.
Phoenix Perch Mountain, inside the Hundred Thousand Mountains at the junction of Western Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang. Of course, the name of one hundred thousand is just a false name. No one has counted how many peaks there really are.
All the major forces are on guard against each other, and when they are on the road, they all deliberately avoid them to prevent being stabbed in the back.
With innate power, you will be more confident. Although Phoenix Perch Mountain is dangerous, as long as you don't encounter too powerful monsters, you should have no problem protecting yourself.
Everyone crossed one mountain after another, and the lush mountains seemed to never end. No matter how they walked, there would be a new mountain waiting for them ahead.
Yi Wanrong and other big-sect innates obviously had the same thoughts as Ning Chen, walking leisurely and waiting to go in with everyone.
Ten days later, after everyone climbed over the last mountain, they finally saw a different scenery. The scene in front of them was maple leaves falling, red all over the mountain, almost exactly the same as the legendary Phoenix Perch Mountain.
Ning Chen followed the crowd slowly, especially staying away from Wuyou. He didn't want his every move to be exposed in front of others.
After resting for half a day, the major forces entered the mountain at the same time with a tacit understanding, still maintaining a certain distance and moving forward separately.
The falling maple leaves all over the sky dyed the entire Phoenix Perch Mountain red. As people walked among them, they gradually discovered that the distance they had deliberately kept from other people had unknowingly grown much further.
Several innate experts also discovered something was wrong. This boundless maple forest was a natural maze. The deeper you went, the harder it was to tell the direction.
"Wuyou, please wait here for a while"
Yi Wanrong warned, moved his feet, and rose to the sky above the maple forest. Looking at the surrounding scene, he couldn't help but frown.
This Phoenix Perch Mountain was much bigger than she imagined, accounting for at least one-third of the size of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The end of the maple forest was almost invisible.
At the same time, several more figures flew into the air. They ignored them, and a look of wariness flashed across their faces.
"Chirp"
At this moment, a piercing whistle sounded from the sky, and immediately, an overwhelming black shadow appeared, which immediately shocked the hearts of several innate experts.
The huge strange bird has a wingspan of about twenty feet wide. Its surrounding feathers are as black as a mirror. Its iron claws shine sharply in the sun, making people feel chilled all over.
Ning Chen also frowned. It was this thing again. This was the third time he had seen this strange big bird.
Even if I saw it twice in the Divine Continent land, I didn't expect to see the same monster again here.
If we call it a coincidence, it is really a coincidence.
"Chirp"
In the blink of an eye, there was another nine-day deep whistle, and the second big bird appeared. This one was even more terrifying, nearly thirty feet tall, covering the sky and the sun, and it was extremely terrifying.
The two strange birds were obviously extremely angry at the intrusion of humans, and their huge wings flew across, like blades, towards the few people in the air.
Together with Yi Wanrong, the five innates had to fight back. However, the two strange birds were unexpectedly difficult to deal with. They were invulnerable and hard to hurt with their palms. For a while, the five innates were in a very awkward position.
Ning Chen looked at the battle in the sky, the light in his eyes kept beating. In the past, the strange birds he encountered were much smaller and weaker than these two. The two monsters he encountered today were really too strong.
Above the sky, the five innates all released their auras, and the powerful air waves continued to surge. After adapting to the physical strength of the two big birds, they gradually reversed their disadvantage and began to suppress them.
However, after all, the five people were not united, and the two big birds were indeed too strong to resist. It would not be a matter of time for the five people to kill them.
"Rumble"
While everyone was paying attention to the battle above, there was also a terrible shaking sound on the ground below.
Countless ferocious beasts rushed out from the depths of the maple forest. Although they were not powerful, their numbers were terrifying, and they rumbled towards the intruders.
The expressions of the five people fighting in the air changed. They turned their palms to scare away the strange bird and quickly flew downwards.
They did not come alone, but also brought disciples from the sect. Although they wanted to give them insights and test them, they did not want these disciples to die in vain.
After the five people landed, they immediately took action. The surging tide of beasts instantly caused heavy casualties and blood flowed into rivers.
The two strange birds swooped down. This time they did not choose the five powerful humans they could not afford to offend, but instead rushed towards some weaker disciples of the great sect.
The next moment, screams sounded one after another, one after another, making people feel horrified.
Next to Yi Wanrong, Wuyou's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability, and he raised his hand without leaving any trace. Not far away, a strange bird swooped down towards the west and suddenly fell down with a loud bang, crushing a large maple forest.
