292: My divination skills are unparalleled in the world!

Li Qi wasn't the only one involved in retrieving the Phoenix King's remains; Ji Ying, who had also come to the Lower Realm, accompanied him.

Ji Ying wanted to visit his Pine Crane Longevity Sect in the Lower Realm, but there was no rush. It wouldn't be too late to go after finding the Phoenix King's remains.

Their ability to come to the Lower Realm this time was entirely thanks to the Phoenix Lord, a powerful being. Otherwise, Ji Ying alone would never have been able to return to the Lower Realm. If he were to abandon the Phoenix Lord now and go to the Pine Crane Longevity Sect by himself, it would certainly displease this formidable being.

Ji Ying had been a shrewd person for many years, so how could he make such a basic mistake?

Now, he should help the Phoenix Lord retrieve the Phoenix King's remains together, leaving a good impression on her.

If there was something he needed to ask the Phoenix Lord for in the future, it would be easier to speak, wouldn't it?

Three figures streaked across the sky, flying towards the depths of the ocean to the south.

According to Li Qi's calculations, one of the Phoenix King's remains was located forty thousand miles to the south, deep in the ocean, with only a few scattered islands and rarely visited by Mortals.

A distance of forty thousand miles was a distance many Mortals could never cross in a lifetime, but for these three terrifying powerhouses who had crossed realms, it was nothing. It would be over in an instant.

Soon, Li Qi and the others arrived at their destination. The three stood in the air, looking down at this sea area.

It was an endless expanse of ocean, with the sun shining brightly overhead, and waves surging below. There were even a few seabirds squawking as they flew past Li Qi's shoulder.

Setting everything else aside, the scenery here was quite good.

Li Qi carefully looked around and slowly said, "This place is called the Canglan Sea. The Phoenix King's remains are down here."

Even if Li Qi didn't say anything, the Phoenix Lord could feel it.

Deep within the ocean below, there was a faint yet familiar Qi—that was the Qi of a Phoenix!

The Phoenix Lord's body trembled, her eyes filled with tears, and she let out a mournful cry, "Ancestor..."

"Your unfilial descendant... has come to bring you home."

The Phoenix Lord's figure flashed, and she plunged straight into the ocean below. Li Qi and Ji Ying followed closely, also diving into the sea.

This sea area was extremely deep. The three of them dove several thousand zhang downwards, yet they still hadn't reached the bottom.

It was only when they reached a depth of twelve thousand zhang that they finally arrived at the seabed.

It was cold, dark, high-pressure, silent, and dim...

But the three powerhouses had astonishing eyesight and all saw a colossal object resting quietly on the dim seabed.

Li Qi raised his hand and conjured a golden orb of light. The orb illuminated the seabed, and a massive skeleton was fully revealed before everyone's eyes.

"Ancestor!!!"

The Phoenix Lord could no longer hold back, crying out in sorrow, with glistening tears sliding from the corners of her eyes.

The colossal skeleton before them... was precisely the Phoenix King's remains!

The Phoenix King's remains were as translucent as jade, emitting a faint flowing light. The skeleton lay in a coiled position, appearing very peaceful, as if it had fallen asleep there.

The Phoenix Lord was heartbroken. She had always believed that her ancestor's Nirvana had failed, and that he had perished both in body and spirit, no longer existing in the world.

But she never expected that her ancestor's remains would fall to the Lower Realm... and lie quietly in this dark, cold seabed for tens of millions of years!

"Your descendant is unfilial..."

"Your descendant deserves to die!!"

Pain and self-reproach surged into her heart, and the Phoenix Lord's fingers clutched her chest tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe for a moment.

She waved her hand, and the seawater immediately dispersed in all directions, creating a thousand-zhang waterless area.

The group passed through the water wall and stepped onto the dry ground, walking towards the enormous Phoenix skeleton.

The Phoenix Lord knelt down, reaching out to gently caress the massive skeleton, speechless for a moment.

Li Qi and Ji Ying also remained silent. At this moment, they only needed to wait quietly by her side.

After a long while, the Phoenix Lord took out the piece of Phoenix King's broken bone that Li Qi had given her and placed it into a gap in the Phoenix King's leg bone. The two fit perfectly, joining tightly together.

Seeing this sight, Li Qi was silent, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

That small piece of Phoenix King's broken bone had brought him a lot of help and was also the bond that allowed him to form Karma with the Phoenix Clan. Now, that small piece of broken bone... had finally returned to where it originally belonged.

After calming her sorrow, the Phoenix Lord slowly rose, intending to collect this massive Phoenix King's remains and continue to the next location to search for other scattered remains.

But she suddenly froze, her movements stopping.

"No!!!"

The Phoenix Lord carefully examined the skeleton back and forth and quickly noticed something unusual.

The Phoenix Clan's body consists of three thousand six hundred bones, and the Phoenix King's skeleton before them was complete; all three thousand six hundred bones were here, not a single one missing!

The Phoenix Lord was puzzled. She turned around and looked at Li Qi.

"All of the Phoenix King's remains are here, none are missing."

"Did you make a mistake in your calculation about there being another location?"

Li Qi was stunned and decisively denied, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"My divination is unparalleled under heaven! I have never made a mistake in my calculations!"

Setting everything else aside, Li Qi was very confident in his divination.

He might not be able to calculate something, but if he did calculate it, then it must be correct!

Li Qi had never made a mistake in his calculations!

If such a situation occurred, then there must be some details and hidden circumstances that Li Qi had not noticed.

"There's a change in this matter... allow me to perform another divination!"

With that, Li Qi once again performed the Spiritual Turtle Divine Calculation, summoning a massive divination diagram, and began to recalculate.

When recalculating, Li Qi immediately noticed an anomaly: the location of the other Phoenix King's remains had changed!

Compared to the first time, it had shifted by a full ten miles!

Li Qi's eyes widened, feeling a sense of disbelief.

If it weren't for all of the Phoenix King's remains being here, Li Qi would even suspect if one of the bones had become a spirit and run away!

Or perhaps a certain bone had been taken by someone.

Li Qi refused to believe it, and the divination diagram accelerated its operation. More information was deduced by Li Qi...

After a while, Li Qi finally understood the whole story.

His expression was strange, mixed with a hint of surprise, as he murmured.

"So that's what happened..."
