Hidden Sky Cave.
The gigantic statue of the Cyan Phoenix stood in front of Ye Ling and the rest, releasing a piercing green light that lit up the entire forest.
When Ye Ling and the others saw this, they were all dumbstruck.
The Cyan Phoenix statue in front of him had green wings that covered the sky, its huge head had gorgeous eyebrows, and its crescent-shaped mouth was like a phoenix. It was extremely lifelike and extremely lifelike.
"Why is there a stone statue of the Cyan Phoenix here?" Xia Feng was startled, he had never heard of the existence of a Cyan Phoenix in the Hidden Heaven Cave.
He even felt that this stone statue was not that simple, that the Cyan Phoenix was the mount of the Xia Family's ancestor and was as famous as the Immortal Phoenix and had the legend of not dying.
However, in this forbidden area where no one stepped in, there was actually another Cyan Phoenix statue. What exactly did this stone statue mean?
This question, was not only on Xia Feng's mind. Ye Ling and Emperor Huang both revealed surprised expressions. Xia Qingsong had brought them here, so he definitely had something to say.
In fact, Ye Ling was certain that he knew the whereabouts of the Cyan Phoenix. Otherwise, when he was talking about the Cyan Phoenix, Xia Qingsong wouldn't have that strange expression on his face.
Ye Ling and the others followed Xia Qingsong and arrived in front of the Cyan Phoenix Stones, only to see that the entire place was empty, as though it was flat ground, and on the ground there were some unique green runes, surrounding the Cyan Phoenix Stones.
Xia Qingsong stopped and looked at the Cyan Phoenix statue with a serious face. He took a deep breath and said, "This is the place where the Cyan Phoenix used to live, but I am not sure if the Cyan Phoenix is still here."
"Oh? This is where Cyan Phoenix live? " Ye Ling was shocked. He never would have thought that Xia Qingsong would actually bring them to the Cyan Phoenix's quarters.
"Then what about this stone statue?" Emperor Huang frowned, and looked towards Xia Qingsong and asked about the stone statue.
Because inside the stone statue, there were obvious strong Spirit Qi undulations, Emperor Huang felt that the stone statue was not that simple, and did not know what else Xia Qingsong had not told them.
"Yes!" Father, why have you never mentioned this to your son before? "
Xia Feng was also very curious. The Hidden Sky Cave was an important place in the Xia Family, and only the master of a family was allowed to enter. This was an ancestral instruction from the Xia Family, but no one knew what use the Hidden Heaven Cave had.
"This is the Xia Family's ancestral grounds, and is not someone from the Xia Family. Anyone other than the ones in charge of the Xia Family would not know of the secret here."
"I also learned the secret of this place from the previous generation Patriarch when I took over the Xia Family. However, according to my understanding, this is the place where the first generation ancestor of the Xia Family, the Flying Immortal Ascension Sect, trained in, and the place where the Cyan Phoenix disappeared. "
"So, if you want to know whether or not the Cyan Phoenix is still here, I can only make an exception and bring you guys in here to see if you can find the Cyan Phoenix's whereabouts."
"As for the stone statue, I don't know what use it has, and none of the previous family heads have told me about it."
Xia Qingsong's face revealed a bitter expression. If it wasn't for his own daughter, he wouldn't have revealed the secret of this place, and he wouldn't have brought outsiders to this place.
His understanding of the Hidden Sky Cave was only on the surface, so when faced with Emperor Huang's question, he could only shake his head.
Hearing Xia Qingsong's words, Ye Ling and Emperor Huang felt a little awkward and uncomfortable. They never thought that Xia Qingsong would actually make such a huge sacrifice.
Every family had their own secret, and this secret was naturally treated as a secret by the family. How could they let outsiders find out about it?
However, Xia Qingsong had brought them here, so it was obvious that Xia Qingsong loved her daughter very much. Therefore, Ye Ling and Emperor Huang felt guilty.
After finding out that this was the clan's secret, he couldn't help but to feel unsettled. He then looked towards Ye Ling and Emperor Huang with a grumbling feeling in his heart.
The four people were silent for a moment, then Ye Ling took the initiative to walk forward, directly approaching the stone statue, and released his divine sense, wanting to check what was so mysterious about the stone statue.
However, when Ye Ling released his consciousness into the stone statue, he suddenly used his mind to drive his consciousness back.
Thump! Thump!
Ye Ling revealed a face of shock, his body could not help but take a few steps back.
Seeing that, Emperor Huang frowned, he took a step forward and looked at the stone statue, then with a wave of his hand, he punched out with his fist, directly striking the stone statue.
Boom!
A loud noise that sounded like the roar of thunder shook the air.
The Cyan Phoenix stone statue that received Emperor Huang's punch suddenly erupted into a terrifying wave of Qi. Right after, the stone statue turned transparent, and a person sat inside the Cyan Phoenix's body, enveloped in a green light, unable to be seen through at all.
"This... There's someone inside the stone statue? "
Xia Qingsong was shocked, when he saw the figure inside the stone statue, he felt his scalp tingling, and his heart filled with even more panic.
This was the forbidden grounds of the Xia Family after all, so he could not predict what kind of strange things would happen inside. Furthermore, the person inside the stone statue was emitting an aura that was obviously from the Xia Family.
"He can't be the patriarch of my Xia Family, right?" Xia Feng's expression became anxious, looking at the person inside the stone statue, he actually suspected that it was the Xia Family's hidden ancestor.
Xia Feng was not the only one thinking this, Ye Ling and the rest were also the same.
Xia Qingsong's body was trembling. Looking at the man on the stone statue, he mustered up his courage and went forward to clasp his fist and bow, then said: "May I ask, is Senior my Xia Family's ancestor?"
Xia Qingsong asked for a moment, only to see that the person inside the stone statue did not reply, while the stone statue in front of him had regained its calm, turning from transparent to stone, everything became calm again.
Seeing that, Xia Qingsong's expression was a little weird, his question was actually useless, seemingly the person inside the stone statue did not hear what he said.
"That is a primordial spirit that has been sealed here."
"If this emperor is not mistaken, that person's primordial spirit fell into a deep sleep, and this seal was created by a Cyan Phoenix."
Emperor Huang frowned. After he had observed the stone statue for a long time, he had naturally seen through it. With his experience, it was not hard for him to figure out the uses of the stone statue.
It was just that he was very curious, who needed the Cyan Phoenix to seal it?
And the power of the seal was very strong, so it was obvious that there was an endless flow of power channeling into the place. Thus, he was sure that the Cyan Phoenix was here and did not truly disappear.
"What?" The seal was created by the Cyan Phoenix? "
Xia Qingsong and Xia Feng were shocked. The Cyan Phoenix was a guardian beast of the Xia Family. It actually designed a seal here?
Just as Emperor Huang, Xia Qingsong and the others were frowning anxiously, Ye Ling was actually secretly communicating with the Xue Wuya. Now that they had entered the Vault of Heavens, they were unable to find the whereabouts of the Cyan Phoenix, so Ye Ling could only rely on the Xue Wuya to help him.
"Under the stone statue, is where the Cyan Phoenix is hiding!"
After the Xue Wuya scouted the area, he sent a sound transmission to Ye Ling informing him of its location. With his powerful primordial spirit, naturally nothing could hide from him.
Hearing the Xue Wuya's words, Ye Ling's face revealed astonishment, he anxiously looked down at the stone statue, only to see that there was no entrance at the bottom of the stone statue.
Ye Ling frowned, he then walked to the front of the stone statue, placed his hands on it, and exploded with power to shake the stone statue.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the stone statue shook for a moment, then released a green light that instantly forced Ye Ling to retreat.
Seeing Ye Ling's actions, Xia Qingsong and Emperor Huang revealed a puzzled expression. This stone statue was set up by a Cyan Phoenix, how could it be so easily shaken by Ye Ling?
"What did you find?" Emperor Huang looked at Ye Ling, and asked in a deep voice. He did not believe that Ye Ling would be so reckless and do such a fearless action.
"Below this stone statue, is the entrance to the Cyan Phoenix."
"So if you want to enter, you can only move the stone statue."
Ye Ling's expression became gloomy, the Cyan Phoenix stone statue was extremely heavy, but the internal energy was preventing him from touching the statue, so with his own strength, he was unable to move the stone statue at all.
"How do you know where the Cyan Phoenix is hiding?" Xia Qingsong frowned, what he said could not help but arouse his suspicions.
He didn't even know that the Cyan Phoenix is beneath the stone statue, so Ye Ling asked if you knew?
"What secret do you have?"
"The one looking for the Cyan Phoenix is you, and now that you know that there is a passage below the stone statue, you can't be up to no good, right?"
Xia Feng's expression became ugly. What Ye Ling said made people suspicious, because they had been listening to Ye Ling's instructions the entire time. Only then did his father make an exception and bring them into the clan's important area.
Ye Ling's expression became ugly, he turned and looked at Xia Feng, then looked at Xia Qingsong and said, "If I want to harm Xia Family, is there a need to waste so much time? If I knew about the location of the Cyan Phoenix, how would I have told you about it? "
"This?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Xia Qingsong and Xia Feng were both at a loss for words. They were also considering this for the sake of their clans since the Cyan Phoenix was a divine beast of the Xia Family, so they naturally could not easily be exposed to outsiders.
Emperor Huang frowned, he walked closer to the stone statue. Since the entrance of Ye Ling was right underneath the stone statue, there was no reason for him to suspect.
Emperor Huang's entire body erupted in white light, and all the energy in his body burst out, causing him to push the stone statue with all his might. Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound from the stone statue, followed by a terrifying aura that quickly rushed towards Emperor Huang.
"This is bad!" Seeing that the stone statue was going to attack Emperor Huang, Ye Ling's expression changed, he immediately stepped forward, using all of his strength, he instantly pressed down on the stone statue.
Boom!
With a huge sound, the energy within the stone statue was instantly blocked inside, but Emperor Huang's face was as white as paper, the veins on his forehead throbbed violently as he continued to push the stone statue forcefully.
Boom!
The stone statue shook and showed signs of being moved.
Ye Ling and Emperor Huang worked together and finally shook the stone statue, but their movements were extremely slow. With Ye Ling's and Emperor Huang's strength, it was impossible for them to last too long.
"Why aren't you coming over to help?!" Ye Ling was extremely furious at this moment. Seeing that the stone statue was about to be moved away, how could he let it go so easily?
As a result, Ye Ling shouted at Xia Qingsong and Xia Feng. His voice was weak.
Hearing Ye Ling's request for help, Xia Qingsong and Xia Feng's expressions became weird. After hesitating for a moment, they started to channel all their power to help Ye Ling and push the stone statue away.
BOOM!
With the help of Xia Qingsong and Xia Feng, the stone statue finally started to move quickly.
Boom! *
Just as the stone statue was about a meter away from him, a terrifying aura erupted from beneath his feet.
