I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples
Chapter 1564 - Chapter 1564 Chapter 1564 Soul of the Divine Phoenix Medium

Chapter 1564: Chapter 1564: Soul of the Divine Phoenix, Medium Artifact! Chapter 1564: Chapter 1564: Soul of the Divine Phoenix, Medium Artifact! Mingling among these disciples,

Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian passed through one towering hall after another, until they arrived at a mountain pass.

Within this mountain pass, they could clearly feel a scorching heatwave assaulting their noses.

Even for the disciples of Fengming Sect who possessed a hint of Divine Phoenix Bloodline, this heatwave caused them to sweat profusely, necessitating the use of immortal aura and bloodline power to resist.

Huang Qian frowned and said, “I can feel a slight resonance between this heatwave and the power of my bloodline.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, “Then that confirms we’re heading in the right direction. Just remember to act the part.”

“Act what?” Huang Qian was confused, turning to look at Lu Changsheng, who was now, just like the other disciples, dripping with sweat, even his clothes soaked through, a barrier of energy not unlike the rest formed around his body to ward off the heatwave.

Even this energy was identical to that of the two disciples Lu Changsheng had knocked out earlier.

Huang Qian couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, impressed, “When it comes to endurance, you’re the one.”

Lu Changsheng wore a face of pride.

Huang Qian was speechless–was that really a compliment?

She still played along, nonetheless.

At the entrance to the mountain pass, five elders, far stronger in presence than the disciples, were guarding the spot.

They each held a stone, and every disciple entering the mountain pass had to place their hand on the stone; only when the stone burst into flames would they be allowed to enter.

Just as Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian were walking towards the entrance,

suddenly, a man sidled up to pat the two on the shoulders, calling out loudly, “Brother Tang, Brother Liang!”

Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian turned around simultaneously, looking at the somewhat short man in front of them.

“What’s up? Why do you look like you don’t recognize me?” the man frowned.

Lu Changsheng hastily replied, “It’s nothing, just that this heatwave requires a bit of strength to withstand.”

“Huh?”

The man leaned in to look closely at Lu Changsheng, his pupils filled with suspicion.

Lu Changsheng kept smiling, yet in his hand, he was ready to release his power and knock this person down at any moment.

“That’s not like you, Brother Tang. You usually have a short temper; you would have thrown a punch by now.”

And you still call him Brother Tang so affectionately despite his temper?

Are you a masochist or what?

Lu Changsheng quickly made an excuse, huffing, “Just resisting this heatwave already costs a great deal of immortal aura, plus there are elders watching up ahead.”

“Oh, that makes sense.”

The suspicion in the man’s eyes faded.

Only then did Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian breathe a sigh of relief.

“However, with our strength, even if we pass this test, we’ll only be able to stand on the outermost edge,” the man sighed.

“What do you mean?” asked Huang Qian.

The man explained, “Haven’t you heard? The purpose of the emergence of the Divine Phoenix Soul this time is to have us enter the Fengming Forbidden Land to comprehend it. Those of slightly lower realms can only stay on the very edge, the higher the realm and the purer the bloodline, the closer one can get to the Divine Phoenix Soul, and naturally, the deeper the comprehension.”

“The Phoenix Stones that the elders are holding are used to test our strength and bloodline.”

Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian exchanged a glance.

If that was the case, then they would need to conceal their bloodline power.

There was also a portion of Divine Phoenix Essence Blood within Lu Changsheng, which had mixed in when he merged bloodlines with Huang Qian before.

As for Huang Qian, there was no need to say more, her bloodline was that of the most pure Divine Phoenix bloodline.

Once the stone detected this, their identities would definitely be called into question.

So, Lu Changsheng took hold of Huang Qian’s wrist.

Unseen by others, he infused a stream of Holy Qi into her.

This Holy Qi concealed all of Huang Qian’s bloodline.

Soon, it was Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian’s turn.

The elder spoke indifferently, “Place your hand on it and pour in immortal aura, releasing the power of your bloodline.”

Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian did as instructed.

However, the amount of immortal aura they released wasn’t much different from that of the two who had been knocked out.

Lu Changsheng looked nervously at the Phoenix Stone, not worried about his realm, but more concerned about his bloodline being exposed.

What if he couldn’t suppress the Holy Qi?

Fortunately, the flame that emitted from the Phoenix Stone was not too intense and was similar to that of most people.

Seeing this, the elder nodded slightly and said, “Alright, move to the outer edge. Be careful not to get too close. With your strength and talent, you won’t be able to withstand the power of the Divine Phoenix Soul.”

Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian nodded.

At this moment, a man approached with a smug smile and said, “Hey, it appears your strength hasn’t improved much these days. Check out the results of my recent retreat.”

With that, he placed his hand upon the Phoenix Stone.

The flames that appeared were indeed much stronger than those of Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian.

“See that? I’ve broken through to the Beginner Stage of the Ancestral Realm!”

Lu Changsheng said, “Ah… Yes… Impressive, I understand.”

No, that’s not right–currently disguised, Lu Changsheng was supposed to have a bit of a temper.

So he added with disdain, “So what?”

Indeed, the man did not suspect a thing and laughed heartily, clapping Lu Changsheng on the shoulder, “Alright, let’s go in.”

After speaking,

the three of them passed together through a canyon.

On both sides of the canyon, there were statues of the Divine Phoenix.

Their forms were not much different from when Huang Qian revealed her true form.

Seeing this scene, Lu Changsheng exchanged a glance with Huang Qian. It seemed the Divine Phoenix had appeared in this place.

Otherwise, how could these sculptures all have such similar details?

After crossing the canyon, they reached a vast square.

Above the square, layer upon layer of cliffs obscured the sky, leaving only a small hole through which the sky was visible.

Through this hole, a fiery red beam shone, precisely falling upon the center of the square.

And within that beam, one could see a giant divine phoenix phantom spreading its wings and calling out!

With each flap of its wings, huge waves of fire swept out towards the surroundings.

The waves of fire would shake the surrounding mountain walls upon contact, but the power within the fire would spread across the entirety of the walls and subsequently be absorbed.

At this moment,

three or four circles of people stood around the pillar of fire in the square.

The man found a spot and beckoned, “Come over here.”

Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian followed.

A wave of heat hit them. The man turned pale instantly, his body trembling uncontrollably, almost falling over.

“The power of the Divine Phoenix is truly formidable. Even with full strength resistance, it’s hard to endure just the aftermath of the heat wave,” said the man before sitting cross-legged on the ground, fending off the heat wave while trying to perceive the power of the Divine Phoenix Soul.

Lu Changsheng and Huang Qian pretended to struggle greatly while communicating through a secret message, “It’s the Divine Phoenix bloodline, right?”

“Yes,” Huang Qian nodded.

Lu Changsheng watched the Divine Phoenix Soul within the pillar of flame and also began to notice something amiss.

It didn’t seem naturally formed, but more like it was summoned through some kind of medium!

Now, what needed to be done was to find the medium and also locate the summoner!

This way, they might be able to pinpoint the location of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
