There were a total of thirteen elders in the Elders Guild. If all thirteen elders had the same opinion, even the Family Head would have no choice but to lower their heads.

Feng Zhi's father, Feng Liancheng, was one of the thirteen elders.

However, very few people knew that there was an extremely secretive place under the Elders Guild. It was a secret room that had been worshipped by all the ancestors of the Feng Family and it took up a very wide space. Inside the room, other than the densely packed ancestral tablets, there was also a statue that was made of unknown material.

The statue depicted a fire phoenix with its head held high, ready to soar high into the sky. Whether it was the fire phoenix's pair of arrogant eyes or the fire feathers on its body, both seemed to be real.

When Feng Zhi suffered due to the sudden appearance of the aura in her body, the fire phoenix statue seemed to have sensed something, a scorching flame shot out from inside the room, and as the light shone upon the statue, it seemed as if the statue that seemed to be covered in dust was alive.

Such strange activity came from the secret chamber and was then detected by the Elders in the Elders Guild above.

The Council of Elders was currently guarded by three Elders. Upon feeling this aura, their bodies trembled, and then, as if they had gone mad, they ran towards the secret room with fervent expressions.

"Bloodline …"

"Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline …"

"..." It appeared! "

The few elders roared in their hearts as they ran.

Feng Family possessed the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix. Every five hundred years, a direct descendant of the Feng Family would awaken the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix, and then, lead the entire Feng Family to another peak.

This year was the end of the five hundred years period.

No wonder these Elders had such a reaction.

The three elders rushed into the secret room. When they saw the statue that seemed to have come to life at the center of the room, joy immediately filled their eyes.

"There really is a Feng Family disciple who has awakened his bloodline!" The oldest Elder Feng Tian Jue exclaimed.

The other two elders were Fifth Elder Feng Tianshuang and Eighth Elder Feng Tian Yuan. Their eyes were filled with fanaticism.

Under their watchful eyes, the fire phoenix that came back to life had undergone a change.

A blinding light suddenly shot out from the sculpture. The three elders had all seen what was going to happen, so even if the light was blinding, they didn't dare to close their eyes.

In the next moment, the image of a fire phoenix emerged from the statue and hovered in the air. It looked like it wanted to fly somewhere, but was restrained by something.

Great Elder Feng Tian Jue suddenly came back to his senses. "Hurry, let's open the seal together!"

Only then did the other two people come to their senses. They cooperated with Feng Tian Jue to open the seal in the secret room.

With a flash of red light, the restriction was broken. The shadow of the fire phoenix seemed to have broken free from its shackles as it flapped its wings and flew towards the exit of the secret chamber.

Feng Tian Jue and the two others were filled with excitement. If they followed this fire phoenix simulacrum, they would be able to find out who had awakened the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline in this generation.

Hope was their direct descendant.

Just as they were about to chase after him, the fire phoenix seemed to have suddenly lost its way when it reached the entrance of the secret room, as it continued to hover in the air, releasing waves after waves of Feng Ming's attacks.

"What's going on?"

Feng Tian Jue and the other two exclaimed.

In the clan's ancient texts, the shadow of the fire phoenix would be thrown into the body of a disciple whose bloodline had been awakened. This way, the bloodline would be complete, and in the future, the disciples would be far behind everyone else.

But this time, what kind of accident happened?

What would happen if this fire phoenix shadow did not merge with his bloodline in time?

However, no matter how anxious they were, the fire phoenix shadow still did not find its direction. It circled in the air for a good while, letting out an unwilling phoenix cry that resonated throughout the entire Feng Family, before returning back into the statue.

The blazing fire disappeared and the statue returned to its original ashy look.

The secret room was as quiet as if nothing had happened.

But since Feng Tian Jue and the other two had personally witnessed this phenomenon, how could they pretend that nothing had happened?

It can't be that the three of them were seeing things, right?

When everything calmed down, they couldn't help but look at each other.

In the end, who awakened the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline?

While the three elders were deep in thought, the sound of the phoenix's cry before the figure of the fire phoenix faded away caused the entire Feng Family to burst into an uproar.

The people from the Feng Family were not unfamiliar with phoenix cries. When they had trained their phoenix cries to a certain degree, their fingertips would release such a phoenix cries, but the phoenix cries they heard just now were different. It was as if there really was a phoenix cry that had come out after bathing in fire.

But how could that be possible?

Perhaps, it was the voice of a clan elder with a profound cultivation base that was practicing the Phoenix Cry Finger?

They couldn't come up with a conclusion, so they could only think so.

Just as everyone was discussing about the phoenix cry, Feng Zhi concocted two more bottles of Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads in the secret room. Only then did she pat her clothes and use her command medallion to open the secret room.

"Feng Zhi, you're finally out!"

The moment the door opened, Feng Zhi saw Feng Lai and Feng Ming who were guarding outside.

"Why are you guys here?" Feng Zhi looked at the two of them strangely.

Her Foundation Establishment was not something that could be completed in a couple of days. Before she came in, she specifically told Feng Lai and Feng Ming not to wait for her.

Feng Lai first looked over Feng Zhi from head to toe, and after confirming that nothing had happened to her, he heaved a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're fine, let's hurry up and go back."

Then, without waiting for Feng Zhi to speak, the two brothers pulled Feng Zhi along to the left and right sides.

Returning back to Feng Zhi's courtyard, just as the three of them sat down, Feng Lai could not help but ask: "Feng Zhi, how is it?

Feng Zhi nodded proudly, "Of course, with my intelligence, how can I not be trapped in a bottleneck?"

After she finished speaking, she threw a bottle of Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads to both Feng Lai and Feng Ming, saying, "This is the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead, eat it after you guys have consumed the Strengthening Pill in your hands, it has the effect of cleansing the marrow and hammering the tendons."

Feng Lai and Feng Ming did not really care about the jade bottle at first, but when they heard the words "Purification", they immediately put away the unintentional expression on their faces and held the jade bottle tightly in their hands.

If even the Strengthening Pill had the miraculous effect of increasing talent, then what kind of heaven-defying effect would this Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead have?

If it wasn't for the fact that both of them had not consumed all the Consolidating Equipment Pills, they would have already ran back to the courtyard to consume the Bone Ablutionary Dan Beads.

After rolling her eyes at them, Feng Zhi finally recalled her previous question.

"Didn't I tell you not to wait for me? Why did you guys go to the secret chamber?" she asked.

Feng Lai smacked his forehead and then recounted the commotion caused by the strange cry of the phoenix.

For some reason, although Feng Zhi and that phoenix cry should not have had any relation, Feng Lai could not help but think about it toward Feng Zhi. Only when Feng Zhi came out of the secret room did he finally confirm that this matter really had nothing to do with Feng Zhi.
