In the great stretch of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, endless mountains lie ahead.
The deeper one ventures, the stronger the great mystical beasts encountered.
After journeying tens of thousands of miles deep into the range, a cluster of mountains replete with rich spiritual energy suddenly appeared before Chu Yuan. These mountains were clothed with fiery red trees, all phoenix perch woods.
A mountain peak resembled an ancient phoenix spreading its wings, gathering the spiritual energy between heaven and earth as well as the destiny of an entire clan.
"This is the ancestral land of my Ancient Phoenix clan, the Ancient Phoenix Mountain Range."
It had been over two decades since Zhu Fengfeng had returned to her homeland, her eyes filled with memories.
When she was a child, her clan had already dwindled, with almost no members left.
If she hadn't been rescued by the former Emperor by chance, her lineage would have been exterminated.
The struggles between mystical beasts were even more brutal than those among humans. A defeat meant the eradication of a clan.
Suppressing her emotions, Zhu Fengfeng regained her customary cold demeanor and said, "Although the Legacy Land is within our clan territory, only a special method can open it. This ring, symbolizing the clan leader, can open the Legacy Land when activated by my blood."
On her hand was a ring engraved with the pattern of an ancient phoenix.
"Now I am the leader of the Ancient Phoenix clan, and the last to carry the heritage of my lineage!"
A drop of blood fell into the ring, glowing brilliantly and emitting a fiery red light. It was not ordinary blood but phoenix heart-blood!
As soon as the blood flowed into the ring, a flame burst out, like an ancient phoenix spreading its wings and soaring into the sky. Immediately in front of them, a void space appeared like a massive, twisting gate.
"Your Majesty, the Legacy Land of my Ancient Phoenix clan is inside there!"
Zhu Fengfeng's face was somewhat pale.
"The power of space?" said Chu Yuan, somewhat surprised. "It appears that the Ancient Phoenix who left the Legacy Land had a high cultivation realm. I shall accompany you to the Legacy Land."
"Please stay close to me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Fengfeng nodded.
The two entered the Legacy Land together.
The Legacy Land was desolate and silent, an independent space with a dull, gray sky overhead and cracked, dry earth underfoot.
Inside this so-called ancestral Legacy Land, Chu Yuan saw not treasures, but large slabs of tombstones. There were probably over a thousand of them, representing all individuals from Zhu Fengfeng's lineage who had died over the course of tens of thousands of years.
"It seems this place is not just a Legacy Land, but also a burial ground," Chu Yuan said.
"You are right, Your Majesty. Every member of my clan is buried here after death, including our ancestors," Zhu Fengfeng said, looking at the tombstones.
From within the ring, a fiery red, ancient phoenix flew out!
It was only palm-sized and ephemeral!
"This is the ancestral divine soul, sealed within the ring!"
Zhu Fengfeng exclaimed in shock.
"The Ancient Phoenix Legacy!"
A cold, female voice emanated from the ephemeral phoenix.
With this, the entire Legacy Land underwent massive changes. All the tombstones began to hum and vibrate, then subsequently burst apart. From the dry earth, streams of crimson blood flowed endlessly towards the ancestral phoenix.
"The ancestor is disintegrating!"
In front of their eyes, the giant God Position Ancient Phoenix suddenly ignited into an enormous blaze, undergoing the final nirvana.
As the phoenix experienced nirvana, a pool of crimson blood appeared on the ground.
The Phoenix Blood Pool!
"What an extreme Ancient Phoenix legacy!"
"Surprisingly, this so-called legacy is formed from the essence blood of many Ancient Phoenix Tribespeople. The Ancestral Phoenix even sacrificed itself into the pool, creating the Phoenix Blood Pool. This kind of legacy involves sacrificing oneself!" Chu Yuan said in shock.
He initially thought that this so-called legacy involved some sort of Cultivation Technique or legendary treasure left behind by the Ancient Phoenix clan in their ancestral land.
He was surprised by the level of sacrifice and dedication; the Phoenix clan had sacrificed all its members.
Moreover, once this legacy was passed on, the Legacy Land would cease to exist.
"As the holder of the Ancient Phoenix Ring, I am the clan leader of my lineage. With the blood of the clan members, we will experience nirvana once again!"
The voice of the ancient phoenix again resonated.
The massive ancient phoenix skeleton was growing more and more ethereal. The essence blood in the blood pool burned with a blazing fire, as if summoning Zhu Fengfeng.
"Go on, I'll guard you," said Chu Yuan.
"Okay."
Zhu Fengfeng nodded.
"The Ancient Phoenix clan's legacy site has come to life! "
But just then, a voice echoed through the entire Ancient Phoenix Mountain Range!
