The Long Journey to Immortality

However, since no living phoenixes had entered the former holy site during the reconstruction, witnessed the original stone carvings that once floated above the holy site, let alone seen the splendor of a real phoenix in person.

Therefore, this sculpture must be somewhat different from the legendary phoenix. In fact, the human cultivators and craftsmen who helped create this statue were on good terms with the Li Feng and Huan Feng clans.

This statue of the true phoenix bears far more resemblance to the phantom phoenix and the fierce phoenix than the other seven phoenixes.

After standing there for a while admiring the statue, Han Lu finally turned her attention to the stone wall not far away.

Over time, the once rough stone wall has become smooth, and the characters engraved on it have become clearer and more distinct.

These characters are all Phoenix Clan script. When combined and read in order, they form the Phoenix Clan cultivation method, "True Phoenix Treasure Book," created by the True Phoenix.

The general outline of the "True Phoenix Manual" and the individual chapters of the nine phoenixes were engraved on the stone wall.

This move was seen as a breakthrough in the harmonious relationship between the Nine Phoenixes when the sacred site was rebuilt. After all, in the Phoenix Clan's sacred site during the True Spirit Era, only the general outline of the "True Phoenix Treasure Book" was engraved on the stone wall.

The cultivation chapters of the nine phoenixes are still passed down from generation to generation in a relatively primitive way.

In Han Lu's view, these things were the first opportunities she could directly grasp after entering the Holy Land.

After harmonizing with the bloodlines of the Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix, Han Lu can actively stimulate her bloodlines and comprehend supernatural powers by cultivating the chapters of the True Phoenix Manual of the Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix.

Once, after the union of the Mingbing and Bingfeng bloodlines, Feng Rubing presented Han Lu with the "True Phoenix Manual: Ice Phoenix Chapter" in a jade tablet.

In Feng Rubing's view, this arrangement was the most appropriate, but it also meant that Han Lu could only proceed cautiously, resulting in an extremely slow and limited development of the Ice Phoenix Divine Power.

The same applies to the Fire Phoenix bloodline.

In terms of the Fire Phoenix Divine Power, Han Lu was entirely self-taught, without any teacher.

Now, all the things she desires are clearly engraved on the stone wall. Even if she cannot fully comprehend them immediately, she can memorize them all and work on them gradually.

This did Han Lu a huge favor.

Not to mention, in the future, they may even attempt to fuse the bloodlines of Li Feng or other phoenix clans.

The True Phoenix Manual of the Six Phoenixes is equally useful for Han Lu.

As she walked and looked around, Han Lu briefly reviewed the techniques in her mind before starting to "memorize" them. She engraved all the techniques and secrets that she was sure she would use or that she might use in the future into her mind, just in case.

It took Han Lu a full half-day just to memorize these profound and difficult-to-understand texts of the cultivation methods.

If she weren't unable to transform into human form in the holy land, Han Lu would definitely have taken out paper and pen or a camera to record these important things in another way, so as not to forget them or make mistakes.

Time was of the essence, and only after confirming that she had indeed memorized all ten chapters of the "True Phoenix Manual" did Han Lu continue walking towards the True Phoenix statue in the center of the sacred site to continue her "tour".

Aside from the statues and the inscriptions on the stone walls, the sacred site contains only countless "eternal lamps," numerous paulownia trees transplanted into the ground, and the essence and feathers hidden within them.

These paulownia trees are like tombstones.

Therefore, the sacred land mentioned by the Phoenix Clan is actually more like a cemetery where the Phoenix Clan's ancestors are buried.

Although collecting the essence from these "tombstones" could be used for harmony, Han Lu was not yet bewitched or mentally unstable enough to do such a foolish thing.

She maintained a high degree of respect as she passed by these sycamore trees.

Even more so, thanks to Fengyou's suggestion, she went out of her way to find her "grandfather," presented him with some offerings, and cleaned up the withered branches and leaves on the paulownia tree that had been lacking sunlight.

Finally, Han Lu stopped right below the statue.

Below the statue are simple bird nests built of sycamore wood, which are the resting places for the many fledglings that enter the sacred site.

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Lu, transformed into a three-winged phoenix, gently flapped her wings, flew low, and landed in the bird's nest.

Immediately afterwards, Han Lu awkwardly curled up her body and entered a meditative state in the form of a phoenix spirit.

Opportunities exist in this sacred place, but not every phoenix that comes here can obtain them.

The process of obtaining an opportunity varies, the methods differ, and the results differ.

Feng You cultivated in the Phoenix Nest and only then did he suddenly comprehend several kinds of Illusionary Phoenix Talents in three days.

Feng Rubing, on the other hand, had been forced by her strict father to spread her wings and had traveled for nearly a month and a half to reach Phoenix Perch Forest. This left her exhausted upon entering the sacred land; the moment her bottom touched the paulownia wood, she began to yawn incessantly and felt drowsy.

Finally, Feng Rubing slept in the holy land for two and a half days, but still gained an opportunity that purified the Ice Phoenix bloodline within her.

This pure bloodline, closer to that of a true phoenix, is why Feng Rubing can perform a secret technique akin to "Nirvana".

With no reference to follow, Han Lu simply did what she wanted.

This place has good feng shui and is rich in spiritual energy.

She then decided to follow in her father's footsteps and spend three days cultivating here, hoping that some fortuitous encounter might come her way.

Chapter 383 The Ice Phoenix Chapter

Han Lu's usual cultivation technique was still a long way from a breakthrough, and she had just obtained the Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix chapters of the True Phoenix Manual in the Holy Land.

Naturally, without a second thought, she began to try cultivating these two texts in the sacred land, attempting to tap into the power of the other two bloodlines within her body by relying on this cultivation method that every phoenix bird had to practice.

After all, the Phoenix Illusionary Divine Power she now possesses is enough to allow her to rival Feng Wuyi, who is at the Transformation Realm.

If she could comprehend one or two more of the innate divine abilities of the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix, her combat power in the Phoenix True Spirit state would be greatly enhanced.

If this newly acquired supernatural power contains moves with tremendous destructive power, Han Lu will have another deadly weapon, so that she won't be like when she sparred with Feng Wuyi before, where she could only use illusions to control her opponent but couldn't inflict serious damage on him in the form of a phoenix.

In a meditative state, recall the cultivation techniques you have just memorized.

After pondering for a moment, Han Lu decided to try cultivating the "Ice Phoenix Chapter" first.

Compared to the Fire Phoenix bloodline, she has developed the Ice Phoenix bloodline to a slightly higher degree.

Many of the tricks she learned were related to the Ice Phoenix bloodline within her.

Therefore, Han Lu felt that cultivating the "Ice Phoenix Chapter" would be slightly easier for her.

At least, within three days, one can barely get the basics down, and not just sit idly for three days in this environment suitable for practicing the True Phoenix Manual.

As Han Lu silently recited the incantation and circulated the energy, the environment within her dantian underwent slight changes.

The season in my dantian seemed to have changed from spring to winter.

The occasional spring rain turned into winter snow.

Although these snowflakes will still turn into liquid immediately when they land on the liquid spiritual energy ocean in the dantian.

However, the chill in these snowflakes still brought about significant changes to the spiritual energy within Han Lu's body.

Visibly, the spiritual energy in the ocean of spiritual energy has gained a touch of blue.

The chill hidden deep in the ocean, along with the spiritual energy circulating throughout Han Lu's body, spread to her entire body as the cultivation technique was activated.

In her phoenix form, Han Lu's white feathers emitted a faint white light.

In the holy land, where the temperature was nearly 20 degrees Celsius, a thin layer of frost even appeared out of nowhere on Han Lu's body.

These frosts gradually gained momentum, connecting with each other, and forming an outer layer on the three-winged phoenix that Han Lu had transformed into, completely enveloping it.

Han Lu was unaware of everything that was happening outside her body.

She was constantly aware of the changes occurring within her body due to the cultivation technique, while also diligently studying and refining the obscure and difficult-to-understand Phoenix Clan terms within the technique, attempting to perfect the operation of this technique that had been passed down for 100,000 years.

The exercise lasted for about fifteen minutes.

Suddenly, Han Lu made a mistake, and the frost that had formed on her body instantly collapsed. Then, the small snow in her dantian suddenly turned into a heavy snow, freezing a portion of the liquid spiritual energy in her body.

Even in a meditative state, Han Lu couldn't help but shiver, inwardly exclaiming "Oh no!" She slowly circulated her spiritual energy, trying her best to clean up the mess caused by the malfunction in her cultivation technique in a gentler way.

Fortunately, it was just a small mistake.

Moreover, the body of the Phoenix True Spirit is inherently strong and resilient, so this little thing is nothing to it.

After spending an unknown amount of time, Han Lu finally cleaned up the mess in her dantian. However, after experiencing a failure, she still couldn't understand the meaning of the sentences in the previous section of the cultivation technique, and she didn't understand how to correctly operate this section of the technique.

"Should we study it further, or continue trying?"

Just as Han Lu was hesitating, the real phoenix statue above Feng Chao suddenly emitted multicolored light.

The light fell on the three-colored phoenix, completely enveloping it.

These rays of light easily passed through Han Lu's body and entered her sea of ​​consciousness and dantian.

While Han Lu was pondering and struggling with what to do, countless inspirations suddenly arose in her mind the moment she came into contact with these lights.

With these inspirations, the problem that had been troubling Han Lu was easily solved. She even felt that she had already fully understood the "Ice Phoenix Chapter" and only needed to run it smoothly once to fully comprehend and master this profound technique.

"Is this the opportunity within the Holy Land?"

Suppressing her excitement, Han Lu didn't waste any time. Following the cultivation manual and combining it with the "experience and methods" she had gained from her epiphany, she once again mobilized the spiritual power within her body and attempted to circulate the cultivation technique.

The frost that had just dissipated condensed again on the body of the Three-Winged Phoenix. This time, the frost was purer in color and closer to transparent.

This state lasted for about half a day, during which everything proceeded smoothly without any unexpected incidents.

Once the cultivation technique had circulated for one cycle, the layer of frost successfully merged into the body of the Three-Feathered True Phoenix, becoming a catalyst to stimulate the Ice Phoenix bloodline. This activated the Ice Phoenix bloodline within the Three-Feathered True Phoenix, enabling it to comprehend and unleash more supernatural powers through the power of the bloodline.

Because this was the first time the exercise had been successfully and completely performed.

After a full cycle of the cultivation technique, Han Lu's appearance in her phoenix form underwent some changes.

The white feathers that covered two-thirds of the phoenix's body became as if they were made of ice, remaining crystal clear even under the dim light of the sacred ground.

In addition, the Three-Winged Phoenix naturally emanated a chilling aura from its body.

The cold air was so low that it even froze a lot of the phoenix nest made up of the phoenix tree.

Aside from these superficial and external things, Han Lu gained nothing more.

To comprehend new Ice Phoenix divine abilities, one must practice the "Ice Phoenix Chapter" day and night, allowing the frost to stimulate the Ice Phoenix bloodline within the body.

After completing the technique, Han Lu regained consciousness and left her meditative state.

Just as she was pondering whether she should practice the "Fire Phoenix Chapter" here again to see if she could gain the favor of the true phoenix and have it help her to master the technique, she discovered that there was an unfamiliar phoenix beside her.

Seeing that Han Lu had regained consciousness, the phoenix, whose entire body was dark and resembled Li Feng by about 60%, let out two cries and spoke to Han Lu.

"Han Lu, the three days are up. Today is the fifth day. Now that you've woken up, I'll escort you out."

It was called escorting, but it was actually "driving away".

"Prison Phoenix?" This was the first time Han Lu had seen the type of phoenix with the smallest number of existing birds among the nine types of phoenixes since arriving in the Phoenix Perch Forest.

However, this was the rule, and Han Lu dared not go against the other party's wishes.

Han Lu quickly got up, flapped her wings, and tried her best to keep up with the other party's flying speed, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After passing through the long, dark corridor once again, Han Lu followed the guardian, Senior Yu Feng, back to the ground, concluding this short but fruitful trip to the sacred land.
