Chapter 96 Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, A Glimpse of an Immortal's Face
The sun sank and fell below the ridge, which became known as Fallen Sun Ridge. It is a demonic land of extreme heat and yang, burning everything in the world. Even emperors must avoid it, making it one of the most dangerous places in the world.
Hua Yunfei turned to look to the side. Beside the ruins, the terrain there resembled a blood moon embedded in the ground—the Crimson Moon Cave!
That is the most yin and gentle demonic land, on par with Fallen Sun Ridge. Now the two are growing together, and it can be said that gods will be killed if they are in the way, and Buddhas will be killed if they are in the way.
Upon hearing Hua Yunfei's description, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi gasped in shock.
"Master, since this place is dangerous, let's retreat immediately!"
With the forbidden area of the Primordial Ancient Mine about to be left, she didn't want any setbacks at this crucial moment.
"No need to worry, as long as we don't enter the Crimson Moon Cave, there won't be any problems," Hua Yunfei explained.
Tens of thousands of years ago, Emperor Hengyu used the Hengyu Furnace here to refine the energy, which drained the area of its most yang and masculine energy.
This means that the place is no longer as dangerous as the legends say.
Moreover, as far as Hua Yunfei knew, there was a great opportunity inside, and since he had encountered it, he naturally couldn't miss it.
"You want to go in?" Yaochi Saintess was taken aback. In her eyes, Hua Yunfei's source techniques were extremely powerful, and he might have learned the legendary Source Book.
Therefore, he must know the dangers of this place better than others, yet now he is about to enter Falling Sun Ridge.
"Don't worry, Emperor Hengyu's achievements are so great that he must have already cleaned up this place. Let's go in and take a look."
Hua Yunfei said calmly.
The two then cautiously made their way deeper into Falling Sun Ridge, where they encountered only broken walls and ruins, many of which turned to dust with the slightest touch.
At the very center, a large black sun was imprinted on the ground, only a few hundred feet in size.
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and this place still lacks yang energy.
"As expected, Emperor Hengyu has taken care of this place." Seeing this, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi breathed a sigh of relief.
Ahead, a magnificent hall stands tall, undamaged, seemingly out of place amidst the surrounding ruins.
"This is... the palace left behind by Emperor Hengyu..."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was very surprised. There was a plaque in the main hall with the words "Hengyu" written on it.
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, yet those two words still shine brightly, flowing with extraordinary Daoist charm.
Hua Yunfei stared at the plaque and felt a sense of the Great Dao flowing within him. Although it did not contain any specific laws, it could trigger a sudden enlightenment and lead one to comprehend the Dao.
He felt that if someone from the Jiang family were here, they might be able to glean something different.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi stood beside him, and the two silently contemplated the matter.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Hua Yunfei took the lead and walked towards the main hall. He had never obtained any immortal gold before and was quite interested in that item.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi followed closely behind.
Upon entering the main hall, Hua Yunfei used the Observation Technique from the Source Book to scan the surroundings.
The method of observing terrain can reveal the great secrets of mountains and rivers, and can help to trace their origins and identify objects.
Although he has not yet mastered the Divine Eye, this auxiliary method is quite effective.
In an instant, Hua Yunfei felt a dazzling divine light emanating from the corner, and an object in the corner shone brightly, even more dazzling than the real sun.
Hua Yunfei was excited. He quickly stepped forward, picked up a dark stone, and found it to be heavy, weighing at least ten thousand kilograms!
The stone was no bigger than a fist, and its entire body was as black as ink, but inside it seemed as if a small sun was sealed.
Hua Yunfei quickly stopped his observation technique; if he continued, his eyes would be blinded by the light!
He calmly put away the black stone in his hand, but when he turned his head, he found the Holy Maiden of Yaochi staring straight at him from a distance.
"Master Wuwei, what is that?" Yaochi Saintess asked curiously. She knew that judging from Hua Yunfei's sneaky actions, he must have discovered something good.
Their Yaochi Holy Land once had a close relationship with the fifth generation Source Master Zhang Lin, and was the force among all the holy lands that understood the Source Master lineage the most.
Hua Yunfei gave an awkward smile. When faced with something good, his body instinctively became defensive.
However, the Yaochi Holy Land has always been aloof from worldly affairs. The female disciples in the sect are indifferent to fame and fortune, and are devoted to the Dao. They rarely fight with others, and the Yaochi Holy Maiden is no exception.
Hua Yunfei then took out the black stone and displayed it openly.
"Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold!"
"It must have been left behind by Emperor Hengyu on purpose," Hua Yunfei said.
Even if he didn't say it, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi could guess it, because there were several lines of text engraved where she stood.
Those were a few lines of writing left by Emperor Hengyu, the gist of which was that he was leaving the things in the palace to those who were destined to receive them.
"Fairy, please look!"
With a snap, Hua Yunfei peeled off a small piece of the stone skin, wanting to see the immortal gold inside with his own eyes.
Instantly, the hall was filled with countless rays of light and auspicious colors, the dazzling light illuminating all directions, so beautiful that it made one's heart flutter.
Clearly visible divine phoenix patterns are imprinted on the crimson immortal gold surface; these are innate Dao patterns.
Hua Yunfei couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder it's one of the Nine Great Immortal Golds."
Now, he has seen two of the nine immortal golds: the dragon-patterned black gold and the phoenix blood crimson gold in his hand. He wonders if he can find the remaining seven.
"This is Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold..."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was amazed and involuntarily moved closer, even reaching out her slender hand to gently stroke the surface of the immortal gold.
A fragrant aroma wafted over, and the flowing hair of the Jade Pool Saintess almost touched Hua Yunfei's face.
Perhaps because of the inner turmoil of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, the mist that had been covering her face dissipated somewhat, and at such close range, Hua Yunfei could see her appearance clearly at a glance.
That was an unparalleled, ethereal beauty, breathtakingly so. Even an old monk who had been a monk for many years would be so excited upon seeing the true face of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi that he would shout that he should return to secular life.
Even though Hua Yunfei had seen stunningly beautiful women like Yan Ruyu and Yao Xi, he still found it difficult to remain calm.
"You...don't look at me!" By the time the Holy Maiden of Yaochi realized the gaze beside her, it was too late. In an instant, she stepped back, putting distance between herself and Hua Yunfei.
"What do you mean by this, fairy? I've already shown you the heaven-defying treasure, Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold. What harm is there in letting me see your appearance?"
Hua Yunfei had a slight smile on his face.
This was a good deal.
"You...don't talk nonsense!" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was both ashamed and angry, and her usually calm heart could no longer remain calm.
She was secretly annoyed; this man didn't seem like a proper Taoist priest at all.
After this little incident, the two searched the main hall again, but found nothing else.
After leaving the main hall, they looked at the plaque but ultimately didn't touch it.
Hua Yunfei then led the way, carefully bypassing this dangerous area and heading towards the outside of the restricted zone.
Finally, once they were completely out of the restricted area of the Primordial Ancient Mine, the two of them no longer held back and immediately soared into the sky, quickly fleeing into the distance.
In conclusion, Hua Yunfei's trip went very smoothly. He did not encounter many creatures from the restricted areas, nor did he encounter any strange fields.
"Who is it?"
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was startled. She only noticed the figure when it got close, which made her heart tighten.
"Fairy, there's no need to panic!" Hua Yunfei said. Just then, the figure in front of him transformed into a beam of divine light and entered Hua Yunfei's body.
"How come you have an avatar outside?" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi saw through it all, but felt very strange.
Hua Yunfei offered no explanation for this.
"Fairy, now that we have escaped danger, let us take our leave." Hua Yunfei made a gesture of departure, cupping his hands towards the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.
