People in Doupo: The beginning of the game intercepts the rich woman Xun'er

However, at this moment, Zi Yan's eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, gently covering her eyelids.

Her breathing was extremely weak, almost imperceptible, and she sat cross-legged quietly on top of the altar, like a jade statue that had lost its luster, or as if she had sunk into an extremely deep and unawakenable nightmare. She seemed unaware of all the noise and energy fluctuations of the outside world, and had fallen into a deep sleep.

Just from her current state, it can be seen that her condition is obviously not good. Although the energy dissipating from her body seems powerful, it cannot be used by her. Instead, it seems to wrap her in an illusory mist.

Even though Xiao Ling had anticipated Zi Yan's current condition and was even mentally prepared, when he saw with his own eyes how weak she was and how she looked like she would collapse at any moment, his heart couldn't help but tighten, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand and it hurt a little.

He suppressed the bitterness and worry in his heart, turned around slowly, and cast his eyes on the calm and steady Great Elder Qingshan beside him, and spoke with a barely perceptible solemnity:

"Great elder, can you tell me in more detail what Zi Yan's current situation is? And what exactly caused this result? Elder Zhuli didn't tell me in detail before, I think, now that things have come to this, I should understand it clearly, right?"

Upon hearing this, Great Elder Qingshan sighed deeply, with a trace of helplessness and solemnity on his face.

He said slowly: "The development of this matter is actually beyond our expectations."

He paused, looking at Zi Yan on the top of the altar, and continued: "To be honest, this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is the first time I have seen it in my life, and I don't know much about it. According to what I learned from the ancient dragon clan's records, there have only been two precedents of people taking this fruit successfully."

"The first time, it was obtained by the ancient Tianhuang clan at that time. Because of that origin fruit, a super strong man was born in the Tianhuang clan. During that period, even our Taixu Ancient Dragon clan was completely suppressed by them and was invincible. Fortunately, hundreds of years later, our Ancient Dragon clan finally got a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit by chance, which enabled us to make up for the disadvantage."

"However, in the last extremely brutal blood battle between the two clans, the two super bloodline powerhouses born from the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit eventually died together. Since then, the Sky Phoenix clan has gradually disappeared, and the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit has completely disappeared from the world since then because it lacks the important conditions for its rebirth, and has never appeared again..."

“We actually considered and discussed the decision of letting Her Royal Highness take the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit after much deliberation.” Great Elder Qingshan continued, with a hint of regret in his tone, “Even His Majesty the Dragon Emperor didn’t have a deep understanding of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, so he didn’t let Her Royal Highness try it easily at first.”

"Later... it was Her Royal Highness the Princess herself who showed an extremely strong desire to use this Origin Fruit to improve her strength, even at the risk of her life. His Majesty the Dragon Emperor could not resist her insistence, and considering that he was personally watching over her, he finally agreed."

"We originally thought that with His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, the strongest person in the clan, protecting her, even if the process was a little dangerous, it shouldn't be a problem for Her Royal Highness to absorb the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit."

Having said this, Elder Qingshan paused again, with deep worry on his face:
“But no one expected that even though Her Royal Highness the Princess’ current cultivation level is considered outstanding among the eighth-level monsters, it is still somewhat insufficient compared to the tremendous energy contained in this Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit…”

"If His Majesty the Dragon Emperor had not consumed his own consciousness in time and intervened forcibly to help Her Royal Highness the Princess stabilize her mind, allowing her to absorb energy at an extremely slow rate, otherwise..." The Great Elder's voice became low, with a hint of fear,
“Your Highness the Princess has probably already been completely filled with this vast energy, and has directly turned into a body of energy crystallization! That state is like a real living dead, which is much worse than the current state…”

Xiao Ling had already known what the Great Elder said. As for the possibility of Zi Yan's crystallization, he had considered it.

Therefore, when Zi Yan got the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, he did not let her take it immediately, but took her to see Zhu Kun who was trapped in the underground magma world of Canaan College, hoping to find some methods from him to help Zi Yan absorb the Origin Fruit.

He originally thought that with Zi Yan's cultivation and physique far superior to those on the same timeline, plus the assistance of Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, it should not be a problem for Zi Yan to absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.

However, things went against one's wishes and the current situation occurred. Zhu Kun even consumed the consciousness that was residing in Zi Yan, and was only able to barely maintain the state in which Zi Yan could slowly absorb energy.

After some previous investigation, Xiao Ling had a general idea of ​​Zi Yan's current situation.

She seemed to be in a deep sleep at this moment, and could only absorb the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit unconsciously. Moreover, the efficiency was extremely slow. It would probably take at least a hundred years to completely absorb it.

However, Xiao Ling also understood that compared to the most serious energy crystallization, this current situation, although worrying, was ultimately many times better.

It's not that this hundred years is so important. After all, the lifespan of magic beasts is extremely long, not to mention the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. In their view, a hundred years may just be a deep retreat. If Zi Yan can successfully absorb the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit within this hundred years, become the Supreme Dragon Phoenix, and directly break through the Dou Sheng level, this speed of improvement can be regarded as very efficient.

However, the reality is that given the current situation of Donglong Island, we can't wait any longer.

Every once in a while, the four dragon islands would meet in the void, and at that time, a fierce battle was inevitable. The island owners of the other three islands all wanted to unify the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, but the gap in strength between them was not that great. Therefore, for so many years, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan had always been in a state of division and constant war.

Elder Zhuli and the others hoped that Zi Yan could completely absorb the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in the shortest possible time.

Once Zi Yan successfully ascends to the Supreme Dragon Phoenix, she will be able to suppress the three Dragon Kings of the Western, Northern and Southern Dragon Islands by her own strength and reunify the long-divided Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

This was the fundamental reason why they took the risk of letting Zi Yan take the Origin Fruit and endured such a risk.

But now that this situation has happened, it is not what they want to see, and there is nothing they can do about it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, the second elder Qingmu waved his hand and said in a soothing tone: "My friend Xiao Ling, there is no need to worry too much about the princess's condition. After all, although her absorption progress is slow now, it is not impossible to wait. At most, I will do my best to take care of her for a hundred years. By then, she will be reborn."

At this point, he showed a hint of anticipation on his face, and continued, "Besides, according to what His Majesty the Dragon Emperor said before, to solve His Highness's current situation, all you need is a high-level Sky Demon Phoenix magic core. And didn't you just find a ninth-level Sky Demon Phoenix magic core for His Highness before?"

His eyes fell on Xiao Ling, and there was a hint of hope in his tone: "If what His Majesty the Dragon Emperor said is true, with the help of this ninth-level Heavenly Demon Phoenix Core, your condition will definitely be greatly improved, and the efficiency of absorbing the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit will also be greatly improved. Moreover, the benefits and energy feedback received will definitely be far better than the current slow and direct way of absorbing the majestic energy in the Origin Fruit."

"I hope so." Xiao Ling sighed softly, but then he nodded, and his tone was obviously much more relaxed.

“However, since this plan was determined by Senior Zhu Kun, then with the help of this ninth-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix Magic Core, Zi Yan should not make any more mistakes.”

No matter what, Zi Yan's current situation is countless times better than the energy crystal in the original timeline. I think the trouble should not be worse than that desperate situation. "Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time." Xiao Ling thought to himself. Although the road ahead is unknown, his eyes are extremely firm: "No matter what, Zi Yan, you will be fine. Wait a little longer, I will come to help you right away."

"Haha, if you think so, that's the best." Elder Qingshan nodded and said, "In that case, the princess's situation will be left to you, my friend, to help."

After saying that, he exchanged a glance with the two elders, Qingmu and Zhuli. Then, the three of them showed signs of planning to leave.

"Leave it to me?" Xiao Ling frowned slightly, a little confused, "What does this mean? Is there any special situation or procedure that I need to manipulate in order to help Zi Yan?"

Seeing that the three were really about to leave, he quickly called out to them, "Besides, why did the three elders leave in such a hurry? Aren't you afraid... aren't you planning to watch from the sidelines and be on guard in case of any emergency?"

Hearing Xiao Ling's question,
Elder Qingshan stopped and turned around. His face was still calm, but his tone was a little helpless: "To be honest, Xiao Ling, this matter is indeed a little special. Because His Majesty the Dragon Emperor has personally instructed that this time, you can only use the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core to help Her Royal Highness deal with the situation. His Majesty the Dragon Emperor has specifically warned us not to check the situation at all. We only need to pay attention to the situation outside this hall, and then wait for good news."

After hearing the explanation from Great Elder Qingshan, Xiao Ling's mouth twitched involuntarily. Countless doubts suddenly arose in his mind. He didn't know why Zhu Kun asked such a strange question at that time.

But he didn't care much about it. He was alone, so he was more relaxed without anyone watching him. After saying that, he nodded in the direction of the three Qingshan elders.

"In that case, leave it to me. No matter how bad Zi Yan's condition is, I will definitely make her return to normal as soon as possible."

"If it is really as you said, then it would be the best." Great Elder Qingshan bowed slightly to Xiao Ling again, and Elders Qingmu and Zhuli behind him did the same.

"We won't stay here any longer. I'll trouble you to find out about Her Royal Highness the Princess's condition."

After saying that, the three of them looked at each other again, and then their figures shook, and they turned into three blurry ripples, rippling in the void, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared from Xiao Ling's sight.

Seeing that the three people had left, Xiao Ling subconsciously gathered his mind, released his perception, and conducted a careful investigation of the surroundings. He indeed did not find any human presence in this hall.

Xiao Ling could also clearly sense the familiar auras of Zhuli, Qingmu and Elder Qingshan outside the temple. Although the distance was a bit far, the direction was clear.

It seems that the three of them have indeed left the palace. They should have gone out to investigate the situation and did not leave anyone here.

"Tsk tsk, this can be considered as a Dou Sheng strongman guarding the gate, right? It's really a feeling that is hard to explain."

Xiao Ling thought so in his heart and couldn't help but find it a little funny. This kind of situation probably wouldn't be possible even among the seven ancient tribes.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly unconsciously.

Then, his gaze returned to the platform, to the slender figure on top of the altar.

The next moment, Xiao Ling no longer hesitated. Xiao Ling's body shook, and with a light jump, he landed silently on the top of the altar.

Standing on the top of the altar, Xiao Ling casually looked around. Although the top of the altar was not very large, it was several meters in diameter, so it was quite wide.

And in the empty space on top of the altar, there are some complex, ancient and mysterious patterns carved, extending out like some kind of mysterious totem.

At this moment, Zi Yan was sitting quietly in the middle of the pattern, her eyes still closed. Her figure looked particularly small against the backdrop of those ancient patterns.

Looking at Zi Yan's current situation, Xiao Ling didn't delay any further.

He knew that the most important thing at the moment was to deal with Zi Yan's situation as quickly as possible.

With a flip of his hand, the exquisite jade box appeared in his palm again.

He carefully opened the lid of the box, and an indescribable majestic aura instantly filled the air.

As the lid of the box was completely opened, the green and red ninth-rank Sky Phoenix Demon Core, which looked like a work of art, lay quietly at the bottom of the box and was gently taken out by Xiao Ling.

However, the moment Xiao Ling took out the ninth-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core, something strange happened!

Suddenly, without any warning, two completely different energies began to gather around Zi Yan. One was a deep purple, and the other was a fiery gold.

The two energies intertwined and collided with each other, bursting out with a dazzling light that completely enveloped Zi Yan's petite body. The scene was extremely horrifying.

At the same time, the Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core in Xiao Ling's hand also underwent a change.

The original blue and red colors were instantly replaced by an extremely bright golden light, which looked extremely strange. (End of this chapter)
