Chapter 245 Origin Clan
Upon seeing this, Lin Xinze immediately walked inside.
When Little Golden Tiger saw Lin Xinze go in, it shrank and flew in after him.
The flames dispersed, and the little people, no longer needing to fight the flames, breathed a sigh of relief.
After entering the cave and walking for a while, Lin Xinze saw a bright red egg. The eggshell had cracks on its surface, but it was not broken yet, and the flames burning around the eggshell were stronger than those outside.
"Little bird, are you inside?" Lin Xinze asked, looking at the egg in front of him.
"Hmm." The woman's voice sounded again: "Come closer."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xinze was about to go over, but was stopped by Xiao Jinhu.
"Little Golden Tiger?" Lin Xinze looked at Little Golden Tiger and called out.
Little Golden Tiger stood in front of Lin Xinze, looking at the egg not far away, and said in a bad tone, "What do you want to do by letting him get closer?"
"A magical beast?" The probing gaze fell on the little golden tiger, and the clear, cold female voice rang out again: "No wonder it's not afraid of my flames."
Little Golden Tiger snorted coldly: "Little tricks."
“Since you are also a magical beast, you should know why I need him to come near me.” The female voice said, “I forcibly woke up in the formation, and my strength is insufficient. He can hear my voice and has special power. I need to absorb his power to break out of my shell and be reborn in the fire.”
Before Little Golden Tiger could refuse, the voice rang out again: "The demons are eyeing us covetously. If I delay coming out, and the Phoenix True Flame dies down, neither of us will escape their grasp. We should take the initiative and strike, which will not only deal with the demons but also with the shadows that are about to appear."
The shadow that is about to appear?
Little Golden Tiger frowned: "What is that?"
The woman paused for a moment upon hearing this, then raised an eyebrow: "You don't know?"
Little Golden Tiger: "I came from outside, how could I possibly know?"
"Then you'll find out soon enough," the female voice said. "They are beings even more troublesome than demons. When the sound of the tides rises, the guardians awaken from their slumber, and so will the shadows. If I'm not mistaken, the entrance to the divine kingdom has already closed. Unless the shadows are completely eliminated, the entrance to the divine kingdom will not reopen. Do you want to be trapped here forever?"
The entrance is closed? Unable to leave?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinhu's expression turned serious. What about Ling Yi and the others?
Just as Little Golden Tiger remained silent, the voice rang out again: "Kid, come here."
Lin Xinze looked at the little golden tiger, and seeing that it remained silent, he looked at the egg and asked, "If I help you get out, can you take me to find someone?"
Upon hearing this, the voice said, "As long as you help me get out, I can take you to whoever you want to find."
"Okay." Lin Xinze felt relieved upon hearing this and walked towards the egg.
This time, Little Golden Tiger didn't stop him, but said to Lin Xinze, "Since it promised you, it won't go back on its word, but you have to be prepared."
"What?" Lin Xinze asked in confusion.
Little Golden Tiger said seriously, "It needs blood."
“And it’s only because you actively sacrificed the blood that helped her come out that her promise to you will take effect, but you…” Little Golden Tiger glanced at the egg, then looked at Lin Xinze: “It needs a lot of blood, and you might be in danger.”
That egg was too big; the cracks needed to be smeared with blood. I wish Xiaoze were a bit bigger; he's too small.
After listening to what Xiao Jinhu said, Lin Xinze said, "Since she promised to take me to find my elder brother and the others, she shouldn't let me die."
Little Golden Tiger was a little uneasy, but didn't say anything more. This was Lin Xinze's own choice. If he chose correctly, he would have a new magical beast; if he chose incorrectly, he would have to pay with his life.
After speaking with Little Golden Tiger, Lin Xinze walked to the egg.
As Lin Xinze approached, Phoenix True Flame flew out from the egg, wrapping around Lin Xinze's body. Bright red blood flowed out with the True Flame, flying towards the cracks on the egg.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a powerful force flew out from Lin Xinze's body, quickly forming a barrier around him and repelling all the Phoenix True Flames.
Little Golden Tiger was stunned for a moment when it saw this scene, but it quickly realized that the Demon Phoenix wanted to take Lin Xinze's blood, which to some extent meant that Lin Xinze would die. However, Lin Xinze had a protective force that would be triggered when he was in danger.
It has now been triggered.
"Xiao Ze!" The little golden tiger flew over and said to Lin Xinze outside the barrier, "The protective power on you will prevent her from taking your blood. Let's go."
Lin Xinze stood inside the barrier, unwilling to give up just like that. If there were no little birds, then the little golden tiger would have to deal with those demons on its own, but those demons were not easy to deal with, and the little golden tiger alone would not be enough.
Lin Xinze looked at the barrier, his eyes filled with anxiety. How could he remove the barrier?
...
The third level of mental cultivation.
As the sound of the tides spread, the guardians who slumbered throughout the sea kingdom awoke one by one.
Once the summoning was complete, Jin Zhou stopped and looked at Ling Yi, who was holding Ji Yanzhi: "Ling Yi, thank you for helping me obtain the Golden Pearl."
Finally hearing Jin Zhou's voice, Ling Yi looked up, about to say something, when the red thread binding her and Ji Yanzhi reappeared. The next moment, the red thread turned into a halo of light, enveloping her and Ji Yanzhi, and then disappeared from the spot.
“Your Majesty,” the merman said respectfully to Jin Zhou, “those people outside may not be able to deal with those shadows.”
Jin Zhou said coldly, "Then let those who can deal with the shadows pave the way for them."
Before the merman could speak, Jin Zhou's cold voice rang out again: "They must have obtained quite a lot in the Double Mirror, but the things of the Sea God Kingdom are not so easy to take. If you want them, you will naturally have to pay the price."
"Yes," the merman replied.
Jin Zhou looked at the merman: "I'll leave first to deal with those mermen. You stay here and make sure to guard this place well."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never allow this shadow to escape."
Jin Zhou said no more. As he prepared to leave, he thought of those who had killed their teammates to enter the upper three levels. A cold smile appeared on his lips: "If the pressure here is too great, open the passage between the upper three levels and the third level of the Heart Refining Realm, and lure the shadows over there. Make sure those people contribute their last bit of strength."
The merman replied, "Yes."
Jin Zhou said no more and disappeared into the third level of the Heart Refining Realm, riding on the waves.
On the other side, after Ling Yi and Ji Yanzhi disappeared from the third floor, they appeared in front of a palace.
"We've emerged from the realm," Ling Yi said, then looked up at the sky. The once clear and bright sky was now filled with black mist, which was still spreading.
Ling Yi looked at the black mist, his heart pounding.
I want to swallow it.
"Ling Yi." Ji Yanzhi called out, and it was this call that pulled Ling Yi back from that strange state.
Ling looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yanzhi looked at Ling Yi: "Those shadows are the henchmen of the 'Source Clan.' The shadows won't affect people on their own, but the black mist that follows them will. You should be careful."
“The Origin Clan?” Ling Yi murmured, looking at Ji Yanzhi: “What are those?”
Ji Yanzhi looked at Ling Yi: "He is the culprit who caused the gods to disappear."
When the Origin Clan was mentioned, Ji Yanzhi's tone was calm, seemingly without any aversion. However, the way he looked away after speaking made Ling Yi realize his true feelings about the Origin Clan.
He didn't want her to see his disgust for the Yuan Clan.
why?
Ling Yi looked at Ji Yanzhi thoughtfully: "Isn't it rumored that the gods disappeared because of the demon race? How come a source race has appeared?"
Ji Yanzhi explained: "The people of the Source Clan are special. They possess the power to stir up the dark side of all living things and manipulate them for their own use. The primal power of the Demon Clan is inherently inclined towards darkness, making them the easiest to manipulate. Therefore, they were pushed to the forefront to attract all attention. Apart from the vanished gods, very few people know about the power of the Source Clan now."
"Since fewer people know about it, they assume it was the work of the demons."
"I see." Ling Yi was about to say something after hearing this when dozens of shadows attacked from the front.
Seeing this, Ling Yi's eyes turned cold, and he was about to make a move when a ball of flame flew from the side and landed in front of them, blocking the shadow's path.
Ling glanced to the side and saw a man with white hair and golden eyes.
The man's gaze swept over Ling Yi and landed on Ji Yanzhi. The Messenger of Heaven?
Why is the messenger of destiny in such a sorry state?
"Celestial Fox"
Just as the man was sizing up Ji Yan, Jin Zhou Ta Lang appeared in front of the palace and looked at the man: "Why are you here?"
Tianhu chuckled lightly: "You summoned all the guardians with the Sound of the Tides, how could I not come?"
“My king…” Tianhu looked at Jinzhou: “You are much more adorable now than you used to be.”
Jin Zhou's expression twisted for a moment, then he said coldly, "All guardians are welcome to come; you should not be here."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Tianhu's face faded: "The Demon Phoenix is fine, Your Majesty need not worry."
"Good?" Jin Zhou sneered, then raised his hand and waved, and a water mirror appeared. What was shown in the water mirror was the situation on the east side of the Forest of Fate.
When the Heavenly Fox saw the raging Phoenix Flame, its expression changed.
Jin Zhou looked at him coldly: "Is this what you call good?"
"The Phoenix True Flame has been activated. If there is no way to stop it, it will burn down the entire Bond Forest. Don't forget, there are still Flower Spirits in the Bond Forest!"
"I'll head back now." After saying this, Tianhu turned to leave, but just as he was about to go, a loud cry rang out from the water mirror.
Hearing the cry, everyone looked over...
...
A connection was formed at Linshan Cave.
Lin Xinze thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a way to break the barrier. Finally, he squatted down by the barrier, cut his hand, and let the blood flow out.
Blood flowed from the ground out of the barrier, and the Phoenix True Flame, wrapped in blood, landed on the cracked eggshell.
Seeing that it was effective, Lin Xinze cut his other hand as well, letting it bleed together.
As the phoenix flames, tinged with blood, landed on the eggshell, the fiery red egg began to crack.
The moment the eggshell completely cracked, a fiery red phoenix flew out and grew larger amidst the flames.
The phoenix was covered in flames, its wings fully spread, making it magnificent and beautiful.
"Little bird..." Lin Xinze had lost too much blood, and his posture changed from squatting to lying on the ground without him realizing it. When he saw the phoenix fly out, a smile appeared on Lin Xinze's face.
he made it!
He helped the baby bird hatch!
“Little bird…” Lin Xinze looked at the phoenix, his voice becoming weak: “Take me to find my older brother and younger sister…”
The more Lin Xinze spoke, the softer his voice became, and as his voice gradually faded, the protective barrier around him disappeared.
"Ozawa!"
"Ozawa!"
The little golden tiger and the little flower petals rushed over and surrounded Lin Xinze, filled with worry but helpless.
"call"
The phoenix, enveloped in the true flames of the phoenix, flew in and transformed into a beautiful woman the instant it approached.
As the woman approached, the surrounding flames began to die down, and the little flower petals were directed to fall on Lin Xinze's wounds to stop the bleeding.
The woman looked at Lin Xinze and frowned slightly.
She originally intended to use the Phoenix Blood to heal him, but after seeing the child, she realized that he was indeed just a human child and could not withstand the power of the Phoenix Blood.
but……
Why does a human child possess such special power, and why can he hear her voice?
"You can't cure him." The woman put aside her thoughts and looked at the anxious little flower petals, saying, "Your sister can. Take him back to the Forest of Bonds." After saying that, the woman picked up Lin Xinze and prepared to leave.
However, at that moment, a surge of spiritual energy appeared, and the next instant, a crack appeared in the cave. From the other side of the crack came Jin Zhou's voice: "Huang Xin, bring them here."
"Your Majesty?" Upon hearing Jin Zhou's voice, Huang Xin immediately carried Lin Xinze toward the crack.
The little golden tiger leaped and followed, while the little petal people caught up just as the rift was about to close.
Emerging from the rift, Huang Xin immediately spotted Jin Zhou, and... Tian Hu, who was not far from Jin Zhou.
Their eyes met, and they looked at each other as if they were enemies. To prevent a fight, they immediately looked away.
Ling Yi stepped forward, looked at Huang Xin, and said, "Give him to me."
Huang Xin looked Ling Yi over but couldn't figure out anything, so she didn't hand Lin Xinze over. Instead, she looked at Jin Zhou and only handed Lin Xinze over to Ling Yi after seeing Jin Zhou nod.
Ling Yi took Lin Xinze from him and supported him with her strength. Then, healing power appeared in her hands, and she treated the wounds on Lin Xinze's hands at the same time.
Seeing that Ling Yi could treat Lin Xinze, Huang Xin felt relieved: "He used his blood to help me break out of my shell, and in return, he can get three promises from me."
"Let's talk about it when he wakes up." Ling Yi didn't mention it on Lin Xinze's behalf and quietly treated him.
Huang Xin didn't mention Lin Xinze again. She looked up at the sky, then turned to look at Jin Zhou. After seeing Jin Zhou's condition, Huang Xin's expression became serious.
"Your Majesty, you..." You haven't recovered at all. How are you going to deal with those shadows and demons like this?
Jin Zhou understood Huang Xin's concerns and said in a deep voice, "I have closed the Sea Kingdom and will not let those shadows escape. You need to hold on for six months. After six months, I will deal with them."
“My lord, if it were just a shadow, half a year wouldn’t be a problem, but it seems something else has entered the Sea God Kingdom,” Huang Xin said. “Those demons…”
Normally, demons entering the secret realm to search for treasures wouldn't head straight for the Forest of Bonds, but would go to the central area. But those demons didn't.
They came for her.
Although she was a magical beast, she didn't cherish treasures comparable to the entire Sea God Kingdom, unless... she was useful to them, more useful than all those treasures combined.
The only thing so useful that she possesses is the fire of rebirth.

Babies, I went to bed early yesterday after getting an IV drip, so I only updated 1000 words. Today, I'm making up for it with 3000 words in this chapter.
