In other words, only by moving that birdcage can one see the book!
Guan Yue walked back to the green bird, and Lan Xuelei was still examining the green bird.
So Guan Yue quietly asked, "How is it? Have you figured anything out?"
"Guan Yue, this bird might be the Phoenix!" Lan Xuelei said slowly.
Guan Yue was taken aback: "Phoenix?" He had never heard of a Phoenix before.
"Look, this bird is entirely green, from head to tail, from top to bottom, even its eyes are green," Lan Xuelei pointed at the green bird for Guan Yue to see and recalled, "I once read about the legend of the Phoenix in a book, and I thought to myself how great it would be if I could encounter a Phoenix. But as I continued reading, I realized I was wrong. If we encounter a Phoenix, it means we are in big trouble."
"What? Is this Phoenix unlucky?" Guan Yue was shocked.
"It's not just unlucky," Lan Xuelei's expression became very tense.
She suppressed her emotions and said to Guan Yue, "Actually, the Phoenix is the Death Bird!"
Guan Yue's eyes widened in confusion. How could the Phoenix also be the Death Bird?
"The reason there are so many medicinal herbs in this hall is that they have been nurturing this Phoenix for thousands of years. This bird has matured and is about to spread its wings and fly. But it cannot fly because its life has already been entrusted to another being. Once it is revived, that other being will be resurrected through the Phoenix. Perhaps that person is the master of this ancient tomb."
"Then can't we just leave this bird alone?" Guan Yue immediately thought of the bookshelf over there placing its formation eye here, intending to use someone else's hand to revive the Phoenix, right? As long as the Phoenix is revived, then the Ancients whose soul is entrusted to the Phoenix can also be resurrected?
"That's impossible. This ancient tomb itself is a conspiracy. It needs strong individuals to enter; only strong individuals can break its formation. Only strong individuals can survive here because this hall is filled with medicinal scents. These scents are supplements for the Phoenix but are poison for disciples."
Lan Xuelei recalled while looking at the Phoenix in the box: “Guan Yue, can you check if we still have a chance to get out? I doubt it. The Ancients have probably calculated every possible outcome long ago.”
“This formation is very simple. Anyone can break it.”
Guan Yue remained unconvinced, confident in his abilities.
“After ten thousand years, the fact that this formation can still be used is quite remarkable. This Ancients doesn’t know when someone will come here; if it were a thousand or two thousand years earlier, you might not be able to break this formation either. However, from a rough glance, it seems we are currently in the era when the Ancients are planning to open the tomb, as everything is set up at the end of its strength. Even the medicine has turned to powder.”
Guan Yue noticed that Blue Demon Snow Lei was very focused at this moment, even more so than Gao Yuxin in her calculations.
Women are truly inscrutable. Is this girl still the Lan Xuelei who was moaning beneath him?
“The current problem is how we can leave here without alarming the Phoenix,” Lan Xuelei said helplessly as she looked at Guan Yue.
Guan Yue surveyed the surroundings and found that the design was indeed intricate. The hall contained countless single-base formations, all centered beneath the box. Only by moving the box could they break the formations within.
Inside that small box, the Phoenix was awakening. Perhaps soon, perhaps next year, perhaps three years later.
Guan Yue also glanced at the Phoenix. It was a very exquisite Bird, entirely green with no other colors. It remained asleep, its breathing very faint.
He looked at Lan Xuelei and asked, “If it falls, does that mean the Ancients fall as well?”
“No,” Lan Xuelei replied softly. “Unless you can cause it to die instantly; otherwise, as long as it awakens, that Ancients will awaken too. Once that Ancients awakens, it will no longer be connected to this bird. The bird is a bird, and a person is a person.”
“So you’re saying this bird can be reused?” Guan Yue was surprised.
Lan Xuelei nodded and said, “Yes, it should be.” It seemed that Lan Xuelei wasn't entirely sure either.
"Ah. This Phoenix is so useful; it could save my life at a critical moment," Guan Yue thought, developing a strong interest in the Phoenix.
Lan Xuelei, however, softly said, "For now, let's think about how to get through the current difficulties." Lan Xuelei understood Guan Yue very well by now and knew he would never harm the Phoenix.
So the question arose: how to leave this place?
Guan Yue truly couldn't bear to harm the Phoenix; he even considered it the most important treasure he had encountered so far. He had to keep it.
With it, he could save his loved ones!
Having made up his mind, Guan Yue looked around again. Through his single-substance perspective, he discovered that aside from a simple formation, there were no other traps in this Second Hall.
He then glanced into the Three Chambers. Ah, the Three Halls also had a powerful attack arrangement facing him. If he triggered the attack formation inside the Three Chambers now, it would wake the Phoenix.
But if he didn't trigger the formation in the Three Chambers, he wouldn't be able to reach the coffin and directly eliminate the Ancients. This was troublesome; it seemed that the design of the Ancients was indeed quite reasonable.
Guan Yue felt a chill run down his spine; if Lan Xuelei didn't know about such a thing as the Phoenix, he would have no idea why he might die.
Was there any way to break this deadlock?
Guan Yue pondered deeply and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: could he turn this Phoenix into his Death Guard? Since it was in a sleeping state, it should be manageable, right?
Guan Yue signaled to Lan Xuelei to pay attention to their surroundings and then began to use the Mental Manipulation Technique on the Phoenix. To his astonishment, he discovered that the mental strength of this Phoenix was actually comparable to that of a Disciple from the Eternal Realm.
As he worked, Guan Yue thought: could this Phoenix really possess cultivation from the Eternal Realm? If it did have Eternal Realm cultivation, then he would hit the jackpot. The lifespan of those with Eternal Realm cultivation was incredibly long; if he extended his life at that time, he could live for several more thousand years.
Wasn't that almost doubling his lifespan?
Heaven truly opened its eyes!
Lan Xuelei watched as Guan Yue carefully manipulated the Phoenix, feeling an increased trust in Guan Yue. The ability to exert mental control over the Phoenix indicated that his Mental Strength was indeed extraordinary. It was a pity he wasn't learning to be a Mind Master.
Under Guan Yue's careful operation, he gradually completed the control over the Phoenix.
In Guan Yue's heart, he did not see the Phoenix as his Death Guard, but rather as a friend, someone who could assist him. Therefore, his movements were very gentle and slow, ensuring that he did not cause any harm to the Phoenix, allowing it to live for thousands more years.
When the Phoenix slowly stood up under Guan Yue's command, Lan Xuelei couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful."
Indeed, once the pure green Bird recovered, it was immediately filled with a sacred glow. Not only was its body green and its feathers shiny, but a layer of indistinct mist also enveloped its surface, as if it were in a flowing space.
No dust could settle on its surface.
Guan Yue carefully sensed and found that he too could not penetrate that layer of Spatial Power floating around the Phoenix's body.
Guan Yue was secretly amazed; this thin layer of Spatial Power must be incredibly formidable. It surely had some special function.
Suddenly, the Phoenix let out a mournful cry, and its body began to grow slowly.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yue realized that there was indeed movement coming from the Third Hall.
Oh no? Could it be that the Ancients in the Third Hall had come back to life? Had he failed in controlling the Phoenix?
The Phoenix grew at a visible rate until it reached over three meters tall before stopping.
It remained beautiful and noble. At this moment, the thin layer of spatial flow on its surface became very apparent. When Guan Yue touched it with the Power of Spatial Competition, he discovered that this layer of Spatial Power was incredibly strong, even more so than the pressure exerted by Little Ancestor Saint!
Lan Xuelei also heard the sounds coming from inside and asked in confusion, "The Ancients in the tomb have revived?"
"I don't know. Let me put away the Phoenix first." However, despite saying this, Guan Yue still couldn't manage to store the Phoenix. After much effort, he still couldn't place the Phoenix into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
Guan Yue suddenly realized, "This bird has already been bound by someone else's spirit, which must still be connected to it. Therefore, I must eliminate this binding relationship in order to truly control the Phoenix. Since the one who bound its soul is much more powerful than I am, it will be very difficult to eliminate his soul."
Understanding this, Guan Yue instructed Lan Xuelei to gather all the books and manuscripts from the first chamber while he walked over to the wall and carefully looked into the Three Chambers.
At that moment, a loud knocking sound came from outside the main entrance.
It was clear that the battle outside had ended. Lu Fang had also informed others that Guan Yue was inside the Main Tomb, and there were still rooms inside!
At this time, Guan Yue was uncertain whether the sounds from outside would affect the Ancients in the tomb or if they had already awakened.
Thus, he decided to break through the Third Hall and force his way in.
Using his perspective ability, he had already figured out how to activate the powerful formations of the Third Hall. He devised a plan to let all the Disciples from the first chamber enter and trigger the formations of the Three Chambers, which would create a strong impact on them. Then, once he entered the Three Chambers, no one would be able to stop him.
However, he couldn't let them see this Phoenix; otherwise, it would lead to many complications since this bird was Guan Yue's treasure.
So Guan Yue had no choice but to forcibly use the Magic Supreme Technique, utilizing its devouring function to absorb the Phoenix into his Blood Sea for nurturing. Although it wasn't as effective as placing it into the Heaven and Earth Furnace, it was all he could do for now.
