Chapter 860: Chapter 856: Golden Flame

Watching Li Miaotan walk forward reluctantly, alone, her shadow isolated and lonely.

Li Yuzhen’s bright eyes were slightly red.

She softly said, ”Prince Consort, should I stay and guard Her Highness?”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”What use is there for you to stay and guard here alone?”

”In case Her Highness needs anything, I can be instructed anytime.”

”That works too.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He understood Li Yuzhen’s concerns.

Not only could she follow any orders Li Miaotan had, but if there was any unexpected situation, she could know immediately, thus avoiding delays.

Chu Zhiyuan took out a finely crafted Flying Knife from his sleeve and handed it to her.

”You know what to do.”

”Yes.”

Li Yuzhen nodded gently.

She understood that Chu Zhiyuan had also grasped her intention; this Flying Knife was a signal.

Once things didn’t seem right, breaking this Flying Knife would immediately notify Chu Zhiyuan.

”Hopefully, it won’t be needed.” Chu Zhiyuan gazed at the continuous mountain range.

He stood with arms behind his back, gazing intently, motionless.

Fu Zheng and the other three knew his mood was complicated and didn’t disturb him.

A gust of wind blew, bringing with it a wave of heat.

Super Sense had been activated, covering this entire mountain range.

Inside and out, everything was clearly visible.

To the naked eye, this mountain range was made of pitch-black stones, lifeless, hard, oppressively dark.

But what Super Sense saw was a sea of fire, tens of thousands of flames emitting a faint blue light formed this sea of fire.

Nothing survived within the sea of fire.

With Super Sense, he saw Li Miaotan walking step by step, making her way towards the sea of fire.

The Phoenix’s shadow covering her body grew clearer as she approached the sea of fire.

After a hundred meters, she reached the valley entrance and had to stop.

Super Sense saw that this valley was different from elsewhere.

Amidst the faint blue flames, this valley was a golden fire lotus.

A golden flame surged from the earth, spreading to form a massive lotus flower.

The lotus occupied this valley.

Li Miaotan stood at the edge of the Golden Flame Lotus, without touching it.

Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He saw the Phoenix shadow behind Li Miaotan seemed unable to withstand the flames.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

Li Miaotan hesitated for a moment, her beautiful jade-like face gradually tense, biting her lips and slowly stepping out.

The next moment, the Phoenix shadow flapped its wings, shaking violently.

Li Miaotan’s clothes fluttered, and she suddenly transformed into a ball of fire.

The golden flame enveloped her, her body obscured, only the roaring flames burning.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression tightened.

This step was too dangerous.

”Ah!” Li Yuzhen was shocked, stepping forward to chase.

Chu Zhiyuan placed his hand on her shoulder.

Li Yuzhen struggled, attempting to shake off his grip, but it was in vain, her wide eyes urgently said, ”Prince Consort, Her Highness...”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Wait and see.”

He held Li Yuzhen firmly, not allowing her to move, then glanced at the two tributes: ”Elder Guo, Elder Meng, don’t be anxious.”

The two elders nodded silently, just staring at the distant flames.

In the flames was Li Miaotan.

They didn’t believe Chu Zhiyuan was heartless enough to not rescue Li Miaotan with open eyes.

There must be a reason for not taking action.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression was solemn.

The blazing golden flames grew stronger, still her figure remained unseen, only the dancing Phoenix shadow.

It seemed to be absorbing the golden flames, the once faint shadow quickly solidifying.

He concentrated sensing Li Miaotan’s breath.

With the connection between Heavenly Dragon Introduction and Phoenix Bloodline, even if the golden flames obscured Super Sense, making it impossible to see her, he could still sense her.

He sensed the vitality of Li Miaotan becoming one with the Phoenix shadow.

Though she was engulfed by the golden flames, her body seemed likely to be unharmed, as her life force remained.

He took a deep breath, concentrating all his Soul Power into Super Sense, in order to clearly see the golden flames.

Suddenly, his vision brightened.

The world seemed to adjust brightness, clarity, and contrast.

Originally a mass of golden flames, nothing was visible, now he could vaguely see inside.

He saw Li Miaotan inside the golden flames with eyes closed, calm as still water, without a trace of pain.

This surprised him.

Originally, he thought Li Miaotan would suffer and endure unspeakable pain, like being subjected to fire torture, her body severely damaged.

Unexpectedly, the situation was like this.

She seemed unharmed, even peacefully asleep within the blazing golden flames.

Was it because of this strange fire, or the miraculous use of the Phoenix shadow?

He had a strong urge to step in and touch the golden flames but resisted.

Li Miaotan had Phoenix Nirvana, he did not. If this clone died, it would be destroyed.

He hoped this clone could solve the mystery of Ascension, aiding the main body in ascending.

Now, with higher layers approaching, the mystery’s unveiling wasn’t far.

Thus, he couldn’t give up this body halfway, couldn’t easily abandon it.

Thinking of this, he let a finely crafted Flying Knife fly from his sleeve.

”Your Highness?” Fu Zheng curiously said, ”Want to probe this place?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Let’s test it first.”

He released Li Yuzhen’s shoulder.

Li Yuzhen worriedly watched the distant flames that were Li Miaotan.

Li Yuzhen asked, ”Is Her Highness alright...?”

”Temporarily fine, ... this place is one of death with no life.” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”We don’t have the Phoenix Bloodline, cannot approach.”

Li Yuzhen softly said, ”Her Highness should be fine, right?”

”Don’t forget her bloodline.” Chu Zhiyuan said, ”You worry too much.”

Li Yuzhen bashfully smiled.

”I’ve never heard of such a strange place.” Fu Zheng shook his head, ”Can it really strengthen the Phoenix Bloodline of the Princess?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Very effective.”

He could clearly feel the Phoenix Bloodline absorbing the golden flames and growing stronger.

To others, these golden flames were likely a deadly force.

For the Phoenix Bloodline, they were a great boon.

The Flying Knife hovered momentarily in the air, then swiftly moved forward, like a leaf floating with the wind toward the black mountain.

In midair, it began to flicker, emitting a bright glow.

As it progressed, the light grew brighter, when it reached the valley entrance, it had turned into a ball of white light.

The white light was dazzling, unbearable to look at directly.

Fu Zheng and the others watched it closely, concentrating power in their eyes, seeing it brighten, like a meteor streaking across the sky, finally falling in the distant valley.

It landed before the flame that was Li Miaotan, and turned to nothing.

Burned by the flames, nothing remained, not even ashes, only void.

Fu Zheng clicked her tongue, ”What impressive flames.”

She turned to smile, ”If Sister Li rushed in earlier, would it have been like this?”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Something like that, the Flying Knife had my True Yuan defense.”

”The Phoenix Bloodline is truly impressive, the Princess...?”

”She’s fine, actually getting better.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

With Super Sense, it was seen that Li Miaotan’s breath was strengthening, vitality growing.

Clearly being burned by the golden flames, the fire didn’t harm her; instead, it benefited her.

The benefit wasn’t quick but continuous, like raindrops wearing through stone.

No one could predict how long this could last.

”Let’s go.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

The feeling from the Flying Knife made his heart tremble.

At least with his current self, he wasn’t qualified to touch the golden flames.

Through the Flying Knife, what he felt wasn’t fire, but a form of annihilation.

The power of these flames was truly astonishing, a level beyond the physical.

Nearing breaking through the physical limits, his current self couldn’t counter it.

This made him prioritize cultivation more.

Super Sense, Spiritual Treasure, and even Heavenly Dragon Introduction couldn’t make him look down on everything and act recklessly.
