Chapter 916: The Exact Location
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
The Sun had just set. It was nighttime.
A ring of milky white light had surrounded the Valley of the Fallen Phoenix. The place was softly bright, but also mysteriously profound.
Huang Jiu Ge was suspending in midair. Her pure white wings slowly expanded, accenting the phoenix part of her to be holy, pure, and magnificent.Between her brows, a golden drop of blood broke through her skin and exuded with waves of mysterious energy that carefully searched every corner of the Valley of the Fallen Phoenix.
This was what they called luring with blood.
Normally speaking, whether it is humankind or the foreign kind, as long as two are linked by blood, they can try to use their own blood to search for the other.
Especially among beasts, bloodlines are very mysterious and profound. They are all sorts of unbelievable.
This was like how Ling Xian and Huang Jiu Ge were bonded and how he was able to send her messages through blood.
Of course, he cannot do that anymore. Because about a decade ago, he had broken that bond from his end.
This proves, however, that there exists mysterious energy within the blood.Huang Jiu Ge was a phoenix. Though only a half-blood, she is linked naturally to all other phoenixes.
Therefore, she was using blood as a lure in an attempt to find traces of the phoenix who was around thousands of years ago.
Ling Xian was waiting patiently on the side.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
After around two hours, the void began to shake, sending out a mysterious wave of energy the pulsed with Huang Jiu Ge.
Then, two bright phoenix howls echoed throughout Heaven and Earth.
The first was from Huang Jiu Ge, the second was from the void. However, it was a lot brighter and louder than Huang Jiu Ge’s. It was far more startling.
This howl was without a doubt, from the real phoenix.
Ling Xian’s eyes exploded with color. He swung his sleeve, setting down several defensive arrays that tightly wrapped around this place.
What he wanted was to trap this phoenix cry inside and not notify the Wang Clan.
“Finally there is a response… it looks like this place truly contains hints about the real phoenix. Perhaps there is a Nirvana Fountain here.”
Ling Xian stared at Huang Jiu Ge, who was suspending in midair. Other than anticipation in his eyes, there was joy.
No matter what the result was, at least now, he was seeing hope. Therefore, he completely locked down this place and stared at Huang Jiu Ge without blinking.
After that phoenix cry, the light emitted by Huang Jiu Ge turned more and more dense. Heated and pure white blood expanded, burning everything around her body.
However, her eyes remained tightly closed the entire time and they never opened. That cloud-piercing cry never reappeared.
This made Ling Xian frown. He wasn’t sure what was happening.
As he was getting more curious, Huang Jiu Ge’s eyes suddenly opened. They were flickering with happiness. Then, she transformed back into her human form and she arrived before Ling Xian, “Ling Xian, I know now.”
“Spit it out.”
Ling Xian’s spirits lifted, his eyes were deep with anticipation.
“Just now, I used blood as a lure to display a miraculous act from the phoenix kind. I sensed the leftover soul left by the real phoenix and it told me the truth from thousands of years ago.”
Feng Jiu Ge spoke softly, “That year, it truly died and created the Nirvana Fountain of Real Phoenixes. However, just as it was about to resurrect, an omnipotent took away its corpse.”
“Took away its corpse?”
Ling Xian frowned. “I see. To be able to take away the phoenix right before so many people’s eyes tells me that person’s capabilities are truly terrifying.
“Luckily, it was a pure-blooded phoenix with insane capabilities as well. It was able to leave hind traces of its soul to tell me the truth from back then.”
Huang Jiu Ge appeared sad and she sighed deeply, “Sadly, after speaking of the truth, its soul completely disappeared.”
“And the Nirvana Fountain? Did that person take it as well?”
Ling Xian frowned deeply. He didn’t care about the truth from back then, it didn’t matter to him. What he cared about was the Nirvana Fountain and whether or not it can successfully transform his Qi.
“It is true that it was taken away. But, I know where that person took it to.”
Huang Jiu Ge smiled brightly, her cute face was full of joy.
It was because she was happy for Ling Xian and happy for herself. To be able to find the Nirvana Fountain of the Real Phoenixes meant she will have a high chance of metamorphosing and become a real pure-blooded phoenix!
“Haha, great. This trip sure was worth it!”
Ling Xian laughed brightly. There was pure ecstasy in his voice. At the same time, he no longer worried. It didn’t matter where the Nirvana Fountain is. As long as he has an accurate location, he can find it. It was way better than looking for it blindly.
After some moments of pure laughter, he stared directly at Huang Jiu Ge and he asked, “Where is it exactly.”
“The phoenix said the person who took its corpse is the owner of the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites.”
Huang Jiu Ge said softly and then said something that stunned Ling Xian, “I think the Nirvana Fountain is inside the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites.”
Ling Xian was a little surprised and then he shook his head and smiled. He cannot believe that after so many hints, he was pointed towards the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites.
But that was perfect. He was going to attend the competition of Heaven’s Favorites anyway.
Based on his estimation, the Nirvana Fountain is at the holy place Dao Wu Zi had spoken about. In other words, as long as he participates, he may be able to find the Nirvana Fountain.
“What is it, Master? You know about the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites?”
Seeing Ling Xian shake his head, Huang Jiu Ge looked cautious.
“I know of it.”
Ling Xian nodded softly and told her all about the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites.
After Huang Jiu Ge learned all about it, she smiled uncontrollably, “What a coincidence. But this is good. We can go participate.”
“That’s right. Based on my guess, the Nirvana Fountain is inside that mysterious place.”
Ling Xian grinned. “As long as I can find the Nirvana Fountain, I can transform my Qi and you can transform into a real phoenix.”
“Exactly.”
Huang Jiu Ge nodded lightly, her face was of pure joy.
Ling Xian was extremely happy as well.
Though he hasn’t even seen the Nirvana Fountain, he now knows exactly where it is. As long as he can enter the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites, he should be able to use Huang Jiu Ge’s blood to pinpoint it exactly.
In other words, when that happens, his Qi can finally successfully transform and he will grow stronger!
“The Palace of Heaven’s Favorites will open up in half a year. As long as I patiently wait for half a year, I can unlock my Qi again.”
Mumbling, Ling Xian look into the distance with anticipation in his eyes.
Just as his heart was fueling up with his hope, his soul suddenly shook. He had received a message from Gong Suo Xin. The content was short.
Come at once.
At once, Ling Xian’s expression changed, “Something’s happened to Gong Suo Xin.”
“What?”
Huang Jiu Ge’s expression changed as well. “Then let’s hurry there.”
She then turned into her natural self. Her flame-like wings expanded and the heat given off of them made everything look twisted and unreal.
Ling Xian hopped onto her back at once. They then headed straight to the Wang Clan at an unbelievable speed.
