Su Yiyao enjoyed Luo Xue's actions very much and soon relaxed.
Luo Xue smiled slightly, but her mood began to drift again.
Before becoming the Holy Maiden of the Temple, Su Yiyao had been staying deep in the sea of blood.
The person she called Master was also an old acquaintance of Luo Xue.
"Phoenix Honor..."
Luo Xue thought of the beautiful woman she saw in the coffin that year, and was instantly horrified.
That was her first time to come into contact with a being at the God Transformation level. Just a small illusion made her break out in a cold sweat.
Now that I think about it, I, a mortal, actually dared to come into contact with such a being... I feel a little scared.
As for the inheritance of the True Phoenix, Luo Xue only now realized that the inheritance in her was actually only half, and the other half was in Su Yiyao's blood.
If it were a normal situation, Su Yiyao should have come into contact with half of it, activated the power deep in her blood through this half, and finally obtained the complete True Phoenix inheritance.
The successor that Fengyin Zhenren has been looking for should actually be Su Yiyao.
But the current situation is not much different. After Luo Xue obtained half of the inheritance, she had another fusion with Su Yiyao, and they jointly obtained the complete True Phoenix inheritance.
As long as they stand together, they can unleash the power of the ancient divine phoenix.
"By the way, Xiaoyao, do you know what the gate that the masters of the forbidden land have been talking about is? And how was this sea of blood formed?"
Luo Xue asked hesitantly, these were the things she had always been confused about.
During the battle, the Lord of the Forbidden Land called them gatekeepers, and seemed to be looking for some gate...
"I don't know," Su Yiyao shook her head and said softly, "Master never told me this. In these years, I have been thinking about you and practicing."
"Ahem"
Luo Xue coughed a few times. It was really strange for Su Yiyao to say such embarrassing words in a calm tone...
"However," Su Yiyao changed the subject, frowning slightly, "It seems that no one outside knows Master... Otherwise, it makes no sense for them not to recognize my inheritance."
"Is the Taoist inheritance possessed by Feng Zun also the True Phoenix inheritance in us?" Luo Xue asked.
In the battle just now, when their inheritances were completely integrated and transformed into the ancient divine phoenix, Luo Xue could vaguely feel that this inheritance was unique and absolutely one-of-a-kind.
The whole world can only be controlled by one person.
Luo Xue and Su Yiyao's current situation is quite special, as half of each counts as one.
"It's still a little different," Su Yiyao said, "Master's inheritance is 'immortality', while our inheritance is 'withering', which is similar to this sea of blood."
It was precisely because of this that the evil cultivator at that time was able to comprehend the Taoism of the Dark Phoenix when he felt the power of the sea of blood.
Because the power of the sea of blood itself includes the power of "True Phoenix" and "Withering".
"Didn't Feng Zun tell you anything else?" Luo Xue asked again.
"No, Master rarely spoke to me. During that time, I was always thinking about you, so I didn't talk much."
Su Yiyao answered honestly, but still blurted out some earthy love words from time to time.
But she was very serious, and Luo Xue's face turned slightly red when she heard it.
"However, I have never asked Master." Su Yiyao added, "So I don't know whether Master is willing to tell me these things."
"If that's the case..."
Luo Xue pondered for a moment, then wanted to open the coffin lid and talk to Liu Lian.
This powerful god-transforming master, who calls himself a slave and calls Feng Zun his master, seems to have followed Feng Zun for a long time and should know something.
But before she could open the coffin lid, Liu Lian's cold and calm voice rang out.
"My lord, I advise you not to leave this coffin."
Hearing this, Luo Xue was stunned and asked subconsciously,
"Why?"
"Because... you are already dead." Liu Lian said slowly, without any emotion in his voice.
"I... am already dead?" Hearing this, Luo Xue showed an incredible expression, "Wait, then why haven't I replied yet... Am I a ghost now?"
Luo Xue almost told Su Yiyao that she would return to her original world after her death. Su Yiyao's expression was a little dull, and she seemed a little at a loss.
But Liu Lian didn't seem to care about it. She just said lightly,
"Of course you are not a ghost. A body that has withered for ten thousand years can never turn into a ghost."
"Withering away for ten thousand years..."
Luo Xue looked slightly gloomy.
She opened the panel and saw her talent after the promotion and her changed innate body, and frowned slightly.
"You mean, if I die now... I am alive?"
"This understanding is not wrong, but it is still a little biased." Liu Lian said, "Although the 'death' state of Wanzai's withering body is the real 'alive', it does not mean that you can continue to survive in the world as a living being.
"In fact, from ancient times to the present, among all the owners of the Ten Thousand Years Withered Body, no one has been able to act independently without any conditions or restrictions."
Luo Xue still didn’t quite understand. She could speak, dance and think now, so why was she considered a “dead person”
Liu Lian seemed to see Luo Xue's doubts and continued,
"You are able to regain consciousness now, partly because of this immortal coffin, and partly because Miss Xiaoyao is maintaining your remaining vitality, allowing the decay and vitality in your body to achieve a delicate balance."
So, at the beginning, when Luo Xue was promoted to the Eternal Withering Body, she fell directly into the sea of blood and completely lost consciousness.
And only after coming into contact with Su Yiyao and the immortal coffin did he slowly regain consciousness.
Moreover, Luo Xue never walked out of the coffin until the very end.
"Is this physique... so useless?"
Luo Xue looked at her hands, trembling a little.
Su Yiyao reached out and gently held Luo Xue, her beautiful big eyes filled with sadness.
I finally met Ah Xue, why...
"My young master, the Ten Thousand Years Withered Body is one of the ten holy bodies. If it is called 'waste', there will be no 'immortal' innate Taoist body in this world." Liu Lian's voice sounded.
"If I can only continue to exist in the world in a state of 'death', no matter how strong I am... it seems to have no meaning." Luo Xue said helplessly.
She looked at Su Yiyao, saw the nervous and worried expression on Xiaoyao's face, and sighed softly.
Xiaoyao didn’t know how much despair she had gone through before reaching today’s reunion. She didn’t want to let Xiaoyao’s waiting and efforts go to waste.
“That’s not the case.” Liu Lian shook his head, “Just like this immortal coffin, there are still many ways in this world to allow the owner of the Eternal Withering Body to move freely, but most of them have some restrictions.
"Because normal 'survival' is actually 'death' for Wanzai Withering Body. So, your current state... is actually more like half-dead, dying.
"In addition, as long as the 'death' state is maintained, the Ten Thousand Years Withering Body can continue to absorb the free withering in the world, gradually becoming stronger, and even being able to be promoted to the Great Emperor."
"The Great Emperor..."
Luo Xue opened her mouth slightly.
What level of existence is this
Above the Yuhua realm
In addition, absorbing the free withering of the world... Why does it sound familiar
"You can ask the master about these things. This is all I can say."
Before Luo Xue asked again, Liu Lian blocked her mouth.
"All right."
Luo Xue nodded. If that was the case, she would not continue to make things difficult for Liu Lian.
She looked at Su Yiyao who was crying beside her and comforted her softly,
"It's okay, Xiaoyao. Isn't there Lord Fengzun? Maybe she can solve this problem."
"Wu...Axue, please don't leave me again..."
Xiaoyao hugged Luo Xue, her shoulders shaking slightly, as if she was sobbing.
After all these years, I'm still a crybaby...
"No, this time, no matter what happens..."
Luo Xue hugged Su Yiyao and spoke softly.
"Really?"
"Really." Luo Xue leaned against Su Yiyao, "I won't lie to you."
"Hmm..."
Su Yiyao's body softened.
Perhaps it was due to excessive fatigue, and after meeting Luo Xue again, the anxiety that had been weighing on her mind for more than a decade was finally relieved, and she soon fell asleep in Luo Xue's arms.
The beautiful and delicate profile with eyes closed and long eyelashes trembling slightly, coupled with the pitch-black environment inside the coffin, this scene made Luo Xue involuntarily think of the scene when she first met Su Yiyao.
Seemingly familiar.
But this time, Su Yiyao's peaceful sleeping face and slightly raised lips were full of happiness.
"Have a good sleep, Xiaoyao." Luo Xue patted her back gently and sighed, "You are tired too."
Luo Xue put Su Yiyao down gently, then took out a set of thick clothes from her ring and covered her with it - although Su Yiyao should not catch a cold with her current level of cultivation, Luo Xue still felt more at ease with her covered.
After doing all this, she suddenly felt a little confused.
Luo Xue does have many questions about this world, about her existence, and about her withering body.
These questions... perhaps only Feng Zun can give her the answers.
But before that...
"Sister Liu Lian, can I ask you something about you?" Luo Xue looked up and asked.
"The servant's business?"
Liu Lian paused, as if she had not expected Luo Xue to say this.
"Is it not possible?"
"Of course, if it's just something that concerns me, I'll tell you everything I know."
"Are you the owner of the Treasure House?" Luo Xue asked.
"If you are talking about the store that Shangguan Yu helps me run, then it is indeed true."
Liu Lian replied, but her calm voice was slightly fluctuating.
"But... I rarely participated. I just took out some unimportant collections to exchange for some resources that could be useful to Miss Xiaoyao. I don't know the specific matters."
"What is her relationship with you? Besides, wasn't she dead? How did she come back to life?"
Luo Xue continued to ask.
Liu Lian was obviously a little overwhelmed, and after a long silence, he replied,
"It was the master who saved her, and then I took care of her after she resurrected. That's all."
"Why save her?"
"Because she is a good friend of the person entrusted by the master... My lady, please do not continue to embarrass me. These things should be explained to you by the master himself. What I have said is already an act of usurpation."
Liu Lian's previously cold tone finally revealed a hint of helplessness, and she spoke almost in a begging tone.
However, Luo Xue has basically understood these things.
This shows that Shangguan Yu was actually able to be rescued by Feng Zun because of Feng Yin Zhenren, and that the power Feng Zun possesses is indeed terrifying enough.
Let a Nascent Soul ghost cultivator with malice be reborn, and it seems that there are no sequelae...
Is this the inheritance of the True Phoenix that controls "immortality"
He can actually bring the dead back to life...
Of course, part of it was also because Shangguan Yu’s death was not complete. At least he had not yet disappeared, and he had not reached the end of his life.
If it was Cangmu's situation, it would be impossible to save the situation even if there was a way to do it.
