Chapter 832, True Phoenix Manifestation

Translator: Silavin

*Screech!* As Qin Yichen gazed upon that Phoenix Manifestation, suddenly an ancient and melancholic cry resonated within his mind. In this instant, Qin Yichen entered a dreamlike state.

Within his Knowledge Sea, he seemed to perceive an enormous creature. A being enthroned in the void above, majestic and mysterious, instilling involuntary fear in those who beheld it.

Upon its perfect form extended a pair of massive Phoenix Wings, approximately several thousand metres wide. When fully unfurled, they obscured Heaven and Earth!

“This is…” Qin Yichen’s jaw dropped, he murmured incoherently. “A True Phoenix!?”

Upon seeing the True Phoenix, flames reaching a thousand metres blazed. The entire void space seemingly on the verge of complete incineration. Beneath this manifestation, merely observing it, Qin Yichen felt an irrepressible scorching sensation coursing through his body. It felt as though his physical form was about to be entirely consumed by flames.

*Whoosh!*

Within that void space, suddenly a power erupted from Qin Yichen’s Dantian. Subsequently, a massive Dragon Manifestation roared forth, its Dragon Head coiling protectively around Qin Yichen’s body.

In this instant, Qin Yichen felt his body lighten. That unbearable scorching sensation vanished completely.

At this moment, the Phoenix Manifestation within the void space seemed to come alive. A pair of Phoenix Eyes observed the Dragon Manifestation. Under this gaze, even with the True Dragon Manifestation’s protection, Qin Yichen felt an indescribably massive power compressing inward. It was as though the entire space was rejecting his presence.

*Roar!* Confronting the True Phoenix’s scrutiny, that Dragon Manifestation suddenly raised its head and howled. The colossal Dragon Roar reverberated, and instantly, the entire void space shattered piece by piece.

As the entire space fractured, Qin Yichen recovered from that extraordinary state.

At this moment, his entire body was drenched in perspiration, yet the shock in his eyes had not yet faded!

True Phoenixes… According to legends, when matured, possessed the power to overturn mountains and boil the seas. They were basically omnipotent! However, for unknown reasons, during the Ancient Era, following the True Dragon’s disappearance, they too had vanished without a trace, ceasing to exist!

Yet now, here, he had witnessed a True Phoenix Manifestation!

“Feng Family… Feng Family… Wind? Phoenix?” Qin Yichen murmured. Suddenly, as though comprehending something, his body trembled violently, his eyes bursting with incredulous disbelief!

“When the Fire Phoenix appears, the Feng Family flourishes…”

At this moment, from one side, Feng Wentian’s voice also slowly resonated, pulling Qin Yichen back from his somewhat dazed state.

“Uncle Feng, the Feng Family…” Qin Yichen pondered briefly, his gaze turning towards Feng Wentian.

Facing Qin Yichen’s gaze, a bitter smile surfaced at Feng Wentian’s lips. He sighed softly, his expression entirely overshadowed by dejection.

“Yichen…” Feng Wentian paused, then continued, “I’m entrusting Qianxue to you.”

“Uncle Feng, rest assured. Even at the cost of my final breath, I will protect Qianxue!” Qin Yichen cupped his hands respectfully, his eyes instantly becoming resolute beyond measure.

“Go then.” Feng Wentian’s features relaxed with relief. He hesitated, seeming about to speak, but ultimately waved his hand dismissively.

“Uncle Feng, Qianxue and I will not disappoint you!” Observing Feng Wentian’s expression, Qin Yichen understood he still had unspoken words. However, the latter’s demeanour clearly indicated no intention of revealing them. Consequently, he could only bow respectfully before proceeding towards the exit.

“Qianxue is in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty.” As Qin Yichen approached the entrance, Feng Wentian, as though reaching some resolution, spoke with difficulty. “If the opportunity arises, take Qianxue to the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea…”

“Nine Heavens Flaming Sea?!”

Upon hearing these four words, Qin Yichen’s body trembled violently.

The Nine Heavens Flaming Sea, even within the Sacred Lands, few knew of its existence. Yet Feng Wentian, residing in the Imperial Dynasties, actually knew of it!

Only the supreme experts at Humanity’s pinnacle understood what the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea represented. In his previous life, he too had learned of the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea’s existence through fortuitous circumstances!

The Nine Heavens Flaming Sea was an absolute forbidden territory. Moreover, its location was not within Human territories. Setting aside the countless distances one must traverse to reach the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea, the journey’s difficulty was unimaginable.

Even if they somehow arrived at the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea’s periphery, they absolutely wouldn’t dare enter!

Non-Martial Ancestors would be instantly incinerated by its flames upon entry! And that was merely the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea’s outermost region!

According to legend, the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea was the fallen site of the world’s final True Phoenix. That flaming water, spanning ten million kilometres, was formed from its Blood Essence!

In his previous life, Qin Yichen had encountered a mysterious individual whose understanding of the Nine Heavens Flaming Sea exceeded even some Saints!

“If the opportunity arises, I will!”

After brief hesitation, Qin Yichen nodded firmly, his solemn voice resonating.

Upon hearing Qin Yichen’s response, Feng Wentian released a prolonged sigh. In this instant, he seemed to age several years.

Within his eyes, tears welled forth.

…

The Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, Soaring Joy Auction House.

As the headquarters of the Soaring Joy Chamber of Commerce, the Soaring Joy Auction House’s scale ranked among the largest within the entire Heavenly Dragon Imperial City!

On this particular day, the streets surrounding the Soaring Joy Auction House were packed with crowds. All of them were converging towards a single destination—the Soaring Joy Auction House!

Currently, within the Soaring Joy Auction House, security was extraordinarily tight. Fully armed guards with formidable presences stood positioned throughout the auction house, their sharp gazes continuously scanning the crowded masses.

Should anyone dare cause disturbance within the auction house, no one would doubt they would be removed within a second!

Within the auction house, an enormous space presented itself. It was capable of accommodating at least one hundred thousand people at a glance!

Within this massive space, a platform floated in mid-air.

Surrounding this elevated platform, a ring of rooms encircled it. The main hall stood thirty metres high, with rooms arranged on each level, totalling ten floors, each containing dozens of such rooms. These were accessible only to the auction house’s distinguished guests!

Above the tenth floor exists a single room. Currently, within this chamber, several familiar figures were present.

Ye Liangchen, Shu Ruyan, Shu Xin…

Each without exception represented the highest echelon of the Soaring Joy Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, they were earnestly discussing various amusing topics. They were apparently attempting to cheer up a young woman shrouded in melancholy seated among them. However, aside from occasionally forcing a strained smile, her expression remained unchanged.

“Sister Qianxue, rest assured. Fatty Ye expended considerable effort procuring that item. After you’ve seen it, you’ll definitely be pleased…” Shu Ruyan cast several meaningful glances towards Ye Liangchen, signalling him to promptly start the auction.
