Fengyunlu

Under the close watch of Master Gu Yuan and Fairy Ji Yao, Feng Chen looked around like a little bee. He flew here and looked there, even the lotus platform in the middle of the fairy flower was not spared. He checked carefully from front to back and left to right, but found nothing wrong.

Finally, Master Gu Yuan couldn't help but ask directly, "Is there something wrong?"

Fengchen twisted his body awkwardly, scratched his head, and replied, "There's nothing wrong, but I've been searching everywhere but can't find what's wrong. I don't know where to start repairing the scales."

Master Gu Yuan nodded and patiently explained, "This matter is indeed quite helpless. This Holy Spirit's body is unique, and as a Qilin, its vital gate is naturally not something that ordinary people can find. In addition, it has now transformed and cultivated, and its appearance has changed, making it even more difficult to find. Besides, our Yao Chi lineage has been trying hard since ancient times, and the Five Emperors of Xuanmen have tried their best to find anything special. This is also an important reason why it cannot be repaired."

Fengchen nodded. He understood how difficult this task was, but he had already encountered obstacles before he even started. He hadn't even found the vital point, let alone repaired it. So, he spread his hands and asked again, "Senior, this is really difficult. Could it be that Yao Chi is so powerful that he hasn't found any clues in all these years?"

"Not really." Master Gu Yuan immediately denied it, then seemed to fall into reminiscence, saying, "I heard from my senior sister before that a long time ago, an ancestor discovered some clues. That ancestor was a remarkable figure. In her time, she single-handedly brought up the Yao Chi lineage, truly the best in the Xuanmen sect. Later, she became the Great Emperor, heard about the Qilin, and thought of giving it a try. Although she didn't succeed in the end, she did find some clues after her efforts."

"Oh? Can you tell me in detail, senior?" Feng Chen became interested as soon as he heard it, and asked eagerly while standing on the petals.

Grandmaster Gu Yuan also responded quickly, but she had only heard about it and could only give a rough outline: "I don't know the specific details, but I only heard from my senior sister that the ancestor once went to the giant tree in the vast sea alone and communicated with the ancient beast that had been guarding something. Although I don't know how they communicated or what the conditions were in exchange, I learned a piece of news from the beast."

"What news?" Feng Chen became more interested when he heard about the strange beast. Without waiting for Gu Yuan to continue, he interrupted and asked.

This was also related to his own experience. His father, Feng Wanlin, had traveled deep into the vast sea a few years ago and had come into contact with the strange beast guarding the giant tree. The key to his meridian strengthening and blood circulation was obtained from that encounter. So, when Feng Chen heard the news about the strange beast, he immediately thought of his father and blurted out the words.

Master Gu Yuan also understood Feng Chen's thoughts and spoke without hesitation, "No one knows the origin of that strange beast. It's only said that after the Five Emperors, the beast has been on the giant tree. No one knows what it guards. However, the ancestor had an encounter with it and learned a piece of news about the Qilin."

"According to the strange beast, there are only two ways that might have a chance of saving or awakening this Holy Spirit Qilin. One is to ask the Innate Spirit to take action, but the specific operation is not clear. The other is to ask the Holy Spirit to take action. Apart from that, it can't think of much. But these two methods can be said to be hopeless for Xuanmen. The Innate Spirit has never appeared, and it is even more difficult for the Holy Spirit to take action. So the ancestor had no way at the time, and the matter has been delayed until now." Master Gu Yuan couldn't help shaking her head, but when she saw Fengchen, her eyes were full of hope. The Innate Spirit was right in front of her. Although she didn't know the specific method, the strange beast said it was feasible. Even if the chance was slim, it was still an opportunity.

Feng Chen continued to ponder. He knew nothing about the strange beast, having never seen it and not knowing its specifics, but it was from that beast that he had gained the key to strengthening his meridians. If it hadn't been for someone's interference that disrupted the Demon Slaying Formation, and if Jiuyou hadn't intervened, his meridians would have been repaired three years ago. His parents and the entire Feng family wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophe, Bai Yu wouldn't be in eternal sleep, and his mother, Fairy Ji Long, wouldn't have died in vain.

Without those external conditions and assistance, he, as a member of the Xuanmen of the Innate Spirit, after three years of cultivation, might have been able to comprehend the mysteries of his own body and find a solution for Bai Yu's Saintly Body. Once her bloodline awakened, her Cloud Phoenix power, inherited from the Holy Spirit, would have been able to fulfill the two conditions mentioned by the alien beast in the current predicament, making Qilin's awakening a breeze. He might even be able to help Qilin repair her injuries and truly achieve recovery.

"Haha, just wait and see. One day I will find out all the truth, and the real enemy will never escape from my palm. By then, I will also eradicate the enemy Hanmen who harmed my Feng family." A trace of hatred flashed in Fengchen's eyes. He recalled those experiences, and the anger in his heart could not be suppressed for a while.

As his body gradually grew colder, Fairy Ji Yao frowned. She wanted to intervene, sensing that something was amiss with Feng Chen. His eyes were red, and his entire body was trembling slightly. His icy murderous intent shook the surroundings, and even the temperature of the Yaochi Lake was slowly dropping.

Though the wind was faint, its chill stirred the surrounding ethereal mist, sometimes surging and sometimes dissipating. Even the waters of the Yaochi Lake began to ripple. This was a fairyland, and without Fairy Ji Yao's permission, no disturbance could occur. However, as an innate spirit, Fengchen's primordial spirit's secrets were unknown to those present, and even Fengchen himself possessed limited understanding. Having recently completed his repairs and been on a continuous journey, he had no time to familiarize himself with his abilities. Therefore, in his current state of turmoil, he made no conscious effort to manipulate them, yet he was still able to circumvent Fairy Ji Yao's control and affect the Yaochi Lake.

"Wait." Master Gu Yuan immediately waved his hand, and his eyes changed.

Fairy Ji Yao was about to take action when Master Gu Yuan intervened. Judging from Feng Chen's current condition, despite his cold, murderous gaze, Master Gu Yuan speculated that Feng Chen might have sensed something was amiss. After all, the previously inflicted Heart-Tormenting Curse had been removed. His current state likely stemmed from his initial awareness of a problem, which had triggered something else, prompting him to allow the situation to unfold in an attempt to find a solution.

Because the innate spirit can help Qilin heal, this is the information received by the ancestors of Yao Chi, but how to use this ability is unknown. This depends on Fengchen's attempts. In addition, the previous two inductions were both Fengchen's active spiritual thoughts or inadvertently triggered by his state of mind, which created some resonance between them. Therefore, when Master Gu Yuan saw Fengchen's eyes, he found that his bloody aura was heavy, but his eyes were clear and bright. Therefore, he stopped Fairy Ji Yao.

Fairy Ji Yao also noticed at this moment that the breath emanating from Fengchen was cold but also had a calling feeling, as if he was searching for something. She guessed that this might be intentional on Fengchen's part, as he had just inadvertently recalled the past, which had touched his heart, and unexpectedly reminded him of something earlier, which was why he wanted to try it out.

As they expected, Fengchen's murderous intent continued to pour out when he thought of his blood feud. But on second thought, he realized something was amiss. The curse had been lifted, and such frequent mental outbursts shouldn't happen. While some hatred was normal, the uncontrolled and uncontrolled flow of his spiritual power was a bit abnormal.

Feng Chen began to carefully sense this and discovered that the power of the primordial spirit emanated from his entire body. This meant that his primordial spirit, his body and soul, were acting autonomously, not the secondary spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness. After realizing this, he recalled how the Golden Crow Emperor had discussed cultivation matters with his father in Xiuque Sea, and during their discussion, they had mentioned the Holy Spirit Method. This meant that Feng Chen's body and soul, now one, might be experiencing some kind of resonance with the Holy Qilin.

This situation may have been secretly misunderstood by Qilin, who mistook Fengchen for a descendant of the Holy Spirit, and therefore tried to communicate with him several times. However, Fengchen was unfamiliar with this area. Although he possessed the power of the Cloud Phoenix within the palace and his innate spiritual power, he did not inherit the bloodline of the Holy Spirit and did not know the key methods of application, so it was difficult for him to communicate with Qilin.

But Fengchen pondered over it again and again. He realized that although he couldn't directly see the Qilin's thoughts, he could only vaguely sense its presence and didn't know what it was trying to express. But without further thought, Fengchen understood that the Qilin's thoughts must be seeking help, or telling him how to help. He just couldn't understand it yet. Although he had sensed it the first two times, he didn't understand why.

Having said that, it seems there is new hope now! An elusive breath seems to be wafting out of the mysterious fairy flower. Although it is as weak as a wisp of wind and sometimes disappears, Fengchen can feel that the Holy Qilin may not be sleeping voluntarily, but has difficulties and cannot wake up on its own. It has tried to call again and again, and has tried its best and has really reached its limit. If Fengchen still cannot understand its call this time, then the Qilin may never have the chance to actively ask for help again, and the next time it asks for help may have to wait a very long time. By then, whether Yaochi is still there is a question, and it may be even harder to find someone who can save it.

Fengchen knew that Qilin had no ill intentions, which made him feel a little relieved. After all, saving a potentially catastrophic Holy Spirit would lead to unpredictable consequences. Fengchen didn't want his good intentions to backfire, especially since he still had so much work to do.

"Okay, let me see what you want to say." Feng Chen's eyes became firm, and the murderous aura and coldness on his body disappeared.

He had just used his soul power to capture those intermittent thoughts and pieced them together again in his mind. Those thoughts were like thin threads dancing before his eyes. Fengchen's second soul had been trying hard to interpret them, but because he was not of the Holy Spirit bloodline, Fengchen was still unable to understand the secrets.

However, his mind was a world of its own, and within it slumbered the remnant soul of a holy spirit—the Golden Crow Emperor. Fengchen had previously received the Golden Crow Emperor's essence and blood energy when faced with danger. Now, he could guide a trace of this essence and blood energy into the dormant Golden Crow Emperor's body. While it could only briefly awaken it and its abilities were limited, in this situation, it was still possible to inquire about its situation.

Fengchen gently closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them. His consciousness was already very strong, and now his second soul and the soul in his mind worked together, as if there were two Fengchens existing at the same time, one remaining normal outside, while the other exerted its power in his mind.

Fengchen leaped over to Master Gu Yuan and explained, "I just felt that will again. It looked very weak, as if it wanted to tell me something. I know nothing about the secrets of the Holy Spirit, and it will take some time to understand this information. So, Master, please wait a moment. I will try to interpret the information again. But if there are any unexpected things during the process, please help me."

Feng Chen planned a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, he would allow his second spirit to communicate with the Golden Crow Emperor, and on the other hand, he would continue his own experiments. He might use some means that might disturb the tranquility of Yao Chi or even disrupt the Taiyin Formation. Because the Taiyin Formation was related to the healing power of thunder, Feng Chen was not cautious. He informed Master Gu Yuan of the situation in advance, so that Master Gu Yuan would not be unable to react in the event of an unexpected situation.

However, Fengchen's worries seemed unnecessary, as the Yaochi Fairyland was completely under the control of Fairy Ji Yao. Forget the Taiyin Formation; even if the Qilin awakened, after so many years of weakness, even if it had just recovered from a serious illness, it would likely be easily controlled or even suppressed by Fairy Ji Yao. This was also the source of Fairy Ji Yao's confidence as the Fairy Lord of Yaochi. From her perch in the Western Kunlun region, she could control everything with a single thought.

Of course, Master Gu Yuan wouldn't refuse. She had also sensed a faint divine consciousness. Just as Fengchen had said, the Holy Qilin's will seemed extremely weak. It seemed the Holy Qilin had exhausted its strength, or perhaps its spiritual energy. It had attempted to transmit three times before, but now it might be unable to continue. All hope rested on Fengchen, because since Fengchen's arrival, the Holy Qilin, silent for years, had attempted to transmit three times in a row. This offered hope; perhaps it had sensed the aura of Fengchen's innate spirit, or perhaps had sensed the power of the Cloud Phoenix within him. Otherwise, it had remained silent since ancient times, only beginning to attempt to call upon Fengchen upon his arrival. It seemed the key to saving the Holy Qilin lay in Fengchen's enlightenment.
