The Zhu Family's patriarch, great elder, and other elders led Ye Xiao and come to the location deep inside the Zhu Family.
This place was like an underground palace and the door of this palace was entirely made up of a huge piece of shining stone. This shining stone is known as Moonstone that provides light even in the darkness.
There were only three words written on this Moonstone Gate, Infernal Phoenix Plane.
So it turns out that the Moonstone Gate was not the door to enter the Underground Palace but the entrance of the Infernal Phoenix Plane.
There might be some connection between the Infernal Phoenix Plane and the Underground Palace but currently, it was unknown to everyone.
Even the Zhu Family members only knew that their ancestor left behind his inheritance and the Infernal Phoenix Seed inside the Infernal Phoenix Plane. As for what this underground palace was and why was it here, they did not know.
What surprised Ye Xiao the most was that the three words "Infernal Phoenix Plane" were actually not normal words. There was a very complex formation placed on these three words that could only be activated by a person at the or above the Fifth Stage Martial Ancestor Realm Martial Artist.
What is more, only a person with a fire elemental body or one who controls a Fire Soul can activate this formation. Once the formation placed on the three words "Infernal Phoenix Plane" will be activated, the door will open.
Ye Xiao found it familiar. When he just arrived at the Zhu Family, he saw the word "Zhu" that attracted his attention because on the word "Zhu", he sensed the aura of an Inscription Formation.
After he fused his Divine Sense into it, a shocking scene appeared before his eyes.
Recalling that, Ye Xiao tried to infuse his Divine Sense into the word "Infernal Phoenix Plane". When he did this, the same scene appeared before his eyes that he saw when he fused his Divine Sense into the word "Zhu".
He felt a shapeless energy assault him and an exceedingly enormous flying beast appeared before his eyes that were floating above the sky, wanting to cover the whole world with just a single flap of its big wings. Its entire body flowed with an extremely beautiful crimson red glow. This seemingly beautiful crimson red glow was actually the boundless flame that blazed throughout its entire body.
"Phoenix!"
Although at the first time when he saw this scene, Ye Xiao thought that this flying beast was the legendary Divine Bird Phoenix, however, he did not truly believe it. But at this time, after once again seeing the same scene and thinking about the name 'Infernal Phoenix Plane' where the word 'Phoenix' was present, Ye Xiao was sure that this beautiful and enormous bird was actually the Legendary Divine Bird, Phoenix.
Thinking about this, another question popped up in Ye Xiao's mind: "What is the relationship between the Zhu Family's ancestor and the Legendary Divine Bird, Phoenix?"
Well, he could not get the answer to this question even if he were to ask the Zhu Family's members so he did not bother to ask.
"Young Master Ye Xiao, here it is. You just need to inject your spirit energy in the word written on the gate and the gate will open." The patriarch of the Zhu family said.
Ye Xiao looked at him and sighed in his heart. Even the patriarch of the Zhu Family did not know that the requirement to open this gate was not only for a person to be at least a Fifth Stage Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist, but that person should also have Fire Elemental Body or controls a Fire Soul.
If he did not have the memories of the Ancient Formation God, even he would not
have realized that such a condition has been placed here for the formation to activate.
Ye Xiao took a few steps forward and arrived in front of the gate. Then he placed his hand on the word 'Infernal' and started to pour down the fire energy from the Fire Soul.
The moment he did this, the word 'Infernal' lit up. Then he moved his hand and did the same with the word 'Phoenix' and 'Plane'. When all three words lit up, a bird's cry suddenly rang out as an enormous flaming bird came out from the words 'Infernal Phoenix Plane'.
This enormous flaming bird was actually the same as what appeared before Ye Xiao after fusing his Divine Sense into the words 'Infernal Phoenix Plane'.
Obviously, it was the Phoenix. But this Phoenix was actually not real. It was actually the synchronization of fire attributed energy that Ye Xiao inserted in the word 'Infernal Phoenix Plane'. His fire attributed energy that actually belongs to the Blue Fire Soul, took the form of a giant Phoenix, and with a loud screech, it flew away in the sky.
After floating above the head of everyone and flying around the Underground Palace once, it shot straight to the gate made up of Moonstones.
The Phoenix collided with the gate but what surprised everyone that there was actually no sound even after the heavy collision.
"Creak!"
Suddenly, the gate started to open slowly with a cracking sound and it did not take it long before the gate was fully opened.
What appeared on the other side of the gate was actually a source of vast energy that actually started to pull Ye Xiao towards itself.
"What is happening?" Ye Xiao was surprised. He wanted to shook off the pulling force from that vast energy but what made him even more surprised was that he actually failed.
He turned his head to look at the people of the Zhu Family and immediately understood what was happening.
This source of vast energy has no effect on the people of the Zhu Family. Only he was being pulled by the source of vast energy. It was clear that only after being pulled inside this source of vast energy can he go to the Infernal Phoenix Plane.
In other words, this source of vast energy was the actual gate to enter the Infernal Phoenix Plane.
Thinking this, Ye Xiao decided against the idea of struggling. He let the source of vast energy pull him, and very soon, he was sucked inside the source of vast energy.
The moment Ye Xiao was sucked inside, with a loud 'bang' the gate closed on its own.
.....
When Ye Xiao was sucked inside the source of vast energy, he felt his vision blurred and in the next moment his foot touched the surface of a foreign ground that was actually exuding off the hot air.
He opened his eyes and was stunned to see the scene in front of him. He was actually in the middle of a river of magma. He was standing on a big shapeless crude piece of stone that was floating on the river of magma.
Far away from him, there was a mountain and on top of the mountain, a palace that actually looked very similar to the underground palace from before could be seen.
Apart from the palace on the top of the mountain, there was nothing in this space except for the river of magma.
He thought that he has to go to the top of the mountain so he tried to fly up but was dumbfounded to see that he lost his ability to fly. His cultivation was still there but even so, he could not fly. No matter how hard he tried, he failed to fly.
"Looks like there is a restriction placed here to stop people from flying. But where is that restriction?" Ye Xiao pondered as he started to carefully look at his surroundings.
It did not take him long. He saw that in the entire magma river, there was a giant formation laid down and the eye of this formation was actually the piece of stone where he was currently standing.
This formation was to restrict the person who enters from flying. It may want that person to find another way to climb up the mountain but before that was the main test and that was to cross this river of magma.
Ye Xiao also felt another thing. From the moment he arrived here, the temperature of the river was constantly rising.
Well, Ye Xiao was not scared as he already has cheat-like abilities. He immediately spread his Divine Sense and started to fuse his soul energy in the formation.
He wanted to explode this formation but suddenly he stopped. He realized that he actually not used 'that' ability for quite a while.
Well, the formation was here to restrict the person who enters here to use their spirit energy to fly, but what if he used the wings to fly.
"Wings of the Divine Dragon"
He did not think too much and immediately used the wings that he got from Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon. A pair of black wings with some extremely beautiful golden carving grew out from behind his back. He flapped his wings and started to fly toward the mountain.
