162: It requires someone from the Divine Phoenix lineage to activate!

After Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer left with Da Huang and the White Cat.

Everyone looked at each other, but soon, they all voluntarily took out their resources.

No matter if the sky collapsed outside, they had to strive to become stronger.

After all, the sense of crisis the Shanhai Secret Realm had brought them this time was far too great... Above the Thirty-Third Heaven.

Inside an immortal palace beneath the clouds and mist.

A man in white was holding a brush and writing on Xuan paper.

But after writing a single character, he suddenly stopped.

His gaze drifted toward the distance.

"What could possibly make our Sage of Literature daze off while writing?"

"This doesn't seem like you at all!"

A man stepped inside.

A teasing smile played on his face.

The Sage of Literature merely smiled, showing no anger. Instead, he said calmly, "It's nothing, I just discovered something interesting!"

"Oh, come on, tell me. We Saints dwell high above in the Thirty-Third Heaven, and while it looks glorious, it's actually incredibly boring."

"If there's something interesting, you have to tell me!"

The Sage of Literature looked at the other's childlike excitement.

A helpless smile appeared on his face.

"For someone who is the Sage of Painting, your temperament is surprisingly flighty!"

"It's really nothing. It's just that I found someone has entered a Formation I set up many years ago!"

The expression on the Sage of Painting's face became quite vivid.

"What? Someone actually managed to enter a Formation you set up?"

"Sage of Literature, should we go take a look?"

An excited look appeared on the Sage of Painting's face.

"Surely you must want to know who this person is as well?"

However, the Sage of Literature shook his head, dampening the mood.

"We are above the Thirty-Third Heaven and cannot interfere with anything in the Lower Realm. Moreover, with the Heavenly Dao blocking the way, forcibly descending would only cause instability and chaos below!"

To see a single person and risk affecting the whole situation...

The Sage of Literature felt it wasn't worth it!

"Besides, if this person truly has the ability, they will naturally come to these Thirty-Third Heaven."

"You and I both possess eternal and indestructible bodies and live as long as the heavens. Why the rush?"

The Sage of Literature's words made the Sage of Painting nod instinctively.

"Fine then. I hope this fellow comes up soon! I heard that the newcomer still has a child in the Lower Realm!"

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Literature's brush paused... At this moment, Chen Xian had no idea that his small action...

...had actually triggered a conversation between Saints.

He was currently racing across the ground with Zhou Duoer.

Da Huang was leading the way in front of them.

The White Cat stood on Chen Xian's shoulder, constantly reminding him.

"This Shanhai Secret Realm has existed since I was alive, but I didn't expect it to change so much after all these years."

"Now is not the time for sentimentality!"

Chen Xian said anxiously, "We only have one day. We need to finish this quickly!"

The Moon Demon looked at Chen Xian.

"Finish quickly? Then why don't you tell me what's going on?"

"We're looking for a ruin!"

Although Chen Xian had the map from the intelligence System, he wanted to be careful of traps inside.

So, he simply told the Moon Demon the truth.

When the Moon Demon heard the word "ruin," both of its ears perked up!

"Holy crap, a ruin inside the Shanhai Secret Realm? That's bound to be exciting!"

If those scattered opportunities were like water bottles picked up on the road...

...then a ruin was like a supermarket with a vast variety of goods.

Especially for a well-traveled demonic cultivator like the Moon Demon, this was right up its alley!

"So, let's find it as soon as possible and get back quickly!"

Half an hour later.

Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer stood before a dilapidated great hall.

The intelligence map showed that they had arrived.

"It's all up to you now!"

The Moon Demon said excitedly, "Go in!"

Chen Xian pulled Zhou Duoer and walked inside.

Da Huang alertly perked up its ears and slowly walked forward, with Chen Xian and Zhou Duoer following cautiously behind.

The Moon Demon stood on Chen Xian's shoulder, looking around.

Its eyes were filled with scrutiny and caution.

It gazed at the murals on the broken walls for a long time.

Then it asserted, "This is a ruin of the Divine Phoenix Lineage."

"Kid, it's useless. The things here must be opened by someone from the Divine Phoenix Lineage to be of any use!"

"Coming here now is just a waste of effort!"

Chen Xian asked with a serious expression, "Can really only someone from the Divine Phoenix Lineage open it?"

"No one else can?"

"That's right. Ruins centered around clans and families place great importance on Bloodline."

"Without a Bloodline as a guide, you won't get anything even if you turn this place upside down. That's why these kinds of ruins don't have many traps; they rely on Bloodline to be opened."

"Let's go, don't waste your energy here."

However, as soon as the Moon Demon finished speaking...

...Chen Xian burst out laughing.

"What? Have you gone mad? Or are you just unwilling to give up?"

"Of course I'm satisfied!"

When he saw the ruin, he thought he had come for nothing this time.

Because seeing the footprints all over the ground and signs of searching...

...he thought there would be very little left to find.

It was a pity he arrived a step too late.

But hearing the Moon Demon say this, didn't it mean that everyone else's efforts were in vain?

Only this little girl from the Divine Phoenix Lineage could open it.

"Hmm?"

"Could it be that you are a member of the Divine Phoenix Clan?"

The Moon Demon asked in surprise.

Previously, it certainly wouldn't have asked this.

But now, thinking of Chen Xian's various impossible feats...

...it looked at Chen Xian tentatively.

This guy couldn't really be a descendant of the Divine Phoenix Clan, could he?

If that were the case, this trip wouldn't be in vain!

Chen Xian shook his head.

"The one with the Divine Phoenix Bloodline isn't me."

"Then who is it?"

Chen Xian said with a smile, "Right before your very eyes!"

Once those words were spoken...

...even if the Moon Demon were any slower...

...it would still know exactly who that person was!

Its gaze fell upon Zhou Duoer.

"No wonder! No wonder you could devour the ten thousand year fire lotus, no wonder you could progress so quickly!"

"So, you are the descendant of the Divine Phoenix Clan!"

If that was the case, many of Zhou Duoer's oddities could be explained.

"What should we do now?"

The Moon Demon immediately said, "Just drip your blood onto the ground!"

Zhou Duoer didn't understand why.

But Chen Xian nodded to her.

Only then did Zhou Duoer cut her finger.

The moment the blood dripped onto the ground...

...the surrounding environment changed instantly.

The originally dilapidated hall was transformed in an instant into a magnificent palace, filled with drifting Immortal Qi and curling smoke!

Watching this, Chen Xian said in a daze, "Holy crap, is this another world?"

"No, this is the Twin Occult Technique!"

"Twin Occult Technique?"

The Moon Demon explained seriously, "It's a type of illusion. As long as someone has the Divine Phoenix Clan Bloodline, they can enter the true Divine Phoenix Ruin."

"If they don't, they won't be able to find it in their entire lifetime."
