Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 114: The End of the Road
"what are you up to?"
When she suddenly felt that the profound energy in Yun Che's body was flowing in a rather abnormal way, Jasmine immediately became alert and said in a deep voice: "You want to forcefully comprehend the fifth and sixth levels of the "World Ode of the Phoenix"? Are you crazy?"
"I only have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity before me. If I don't try, I will never be willing to accept it!" Yun Che closed his eyes and said. His thoughts and thoughts completely sank into the soul imprint in the jade. This "World Ode of the Phoenix" is recorded with soul marks and can only be read with soul power. If you can successfully comprehend it, it will be truly recorded in your soul. And if you cannot successfully comprehend it, you will not be able to remember any of the words, images, or the flow of mysterious energy contained in it after you leave this place. Therefore, Yun Che only has one month to comprehend this fragment. It is simply impossible to memorize it and comprehend it after finding the first four levels in the future.
"How can you comprehend the fifth and sixth levels without the first four levels? You don't even have the roots, and you want to get the fruits directly? If you forcefully go against the path, the most likely result will be distortion of the profound veins and chaos in the meridians , even your fully opened entrances may be closed one after another.”
"If there is no foundation from the first to the fourth level, then I will build the foundation myself!" Yun Che said extremely calmly.
"Build the foundation by yourself? Do you know how many thousands of years it took the ancient Phoenix clan to produce the "World Ode of the Phoenix"? After the "World Ode of the Phoenix" came out, how many times has it evolved, changed and evolved? You are the most You only have one month to build your foundation and directly comprehend the fifth and sixth realms?" Jasmine shook her head, "Even if you are really a genius, you can't do it!"
"At least let me give it a try!" Yun Che whispered stubbornly. Then he cut off all other consciousness and completely immersed himself in the soul imprint of "World Ode of the Phoenix"...
At this time, he did not notice, nor did Jasmine, that under his coat, the pendant he had worn since childhood suddenly shone with a trace of enchanting light... and disappeared in a flash.

Outside the sealing formation, Lan Xueruo has been waiting anxiously. Half an hour has passed... An hour has passed... Six hours have passed... A whole day and night has passed... Her expression has already become dim. Feng Baichuan's heart also fell completely silent.
"Will this trial really kill people?" Seeing Feng Baichuan walking over again, Lan Xueruo turned sideways and asked with a dull look. She has asked the same question a dozen times.
Feng Baichuan let out a long sigh in his heart, and could only reluctantly comfort him: "Some clan members were indeed ruined in this trial. But...but we don't need to be so pessimistic. Maybe it's Little Brother Yun." Maybe he passed the test. Those ancestors who passed the test stayed in it for more than ten days, so... if you wait a little longer, maybe he will come out soon."
When he said these words, Feng Baichuan, who had personally experienced the Phoenix Trial, knew very well that it was impossible to pass this trial with the strength of the first level of Nascent Realm. Yun Che hasn't come out yet. In his opinion, the only possibility is that he has been buried in the trial ground. But at this moment, he could only comfort Lan Xueruo with these words, allowing her to continue to have the slightest hope.
"Clan Chief Feng, is there any way you can let me go inside?"
Feng Baichuan shook his head: "Only one person can enter the trial place a month, and I have no choice."
Lan Xueruo bit her lips and said no more. She stood quietly in front of the door of the trial, staring blankly ahead, her heart crazily longing for the appearance of that figure... She didn't know what was wrong with her, that she could secretly He was worried to such an extent that when he thought that he might die in the trial field, he felt heartbreaking pain in his heart.
The black demon mercenary group was congested outside, the Thousand Mile Transmission Charm was used up, and the giant snow sculpture did not wake up... none of this made her panic. But Yun Che didn't come out for a whole day, which made her panic and unable to calm down.
Two days have passed... Three days have passed... Ten days have passed... Fifteen days have passed...
Yun Che still didn't appear.
And Lan Xueruo could no longer have any illusions, and had to sadly accept the fact that Yun Che had died in the trial place and would never come out.
These days, she has been passing through the darkness, and the pain in her heart cannot stop no matter day or night. Originally, she thought she was hurting because she had finally found the "hope", but when the pain never subsided and her heart twitched with pain when she thought of Yun Che's face, she gradually became confused because She felt that this kind of pain had completely exceeded the scope of regret, but she didn't know what the beyond was, because this feeling was very illusory and unfamiliar.
"Oh no, it's been half a month and you still haven't come out! There is obviously food in this cave!"
"What's the rush? No matter how much food and water they have, they will always run out. Hmm, let's see how long they can last."
The Black Demon Mercenary Group still did not leave. They were sure that there must be a huge treasure inside. Two groups of people took turns guarding it every day and did not evacuate for a moment.
Under Feng Baichuan's frugal distribution of the food and water that Yun Che left for Feng Baichuan, half a month later, less than one-third was left. He frowned every day, thinking hard about how to escape, but facing the absolutely overwhelming strength outside, even if he tried to break his head, he had no choice but to hold on.
Twenty days have passed...Twenty-five days have passed...
A month passed.
Under the cover of the sealing formation, the Phoenix survivors struggled to hold on for a full month before finally reaching the end of their rope.
The space ring that Yun Che gave to Feng Baichuan had been completely emptied two days ago, without a grain of food or a drop of water. The adults had low levels of profound strength and could barely hold on, while the elderly and children fell down one after another due to hunger, thirst and lingering fear. Once they fell into coma, they could never be woken up.
Feng Baichuan's eye sockets were sunken deeply. He sat in a cold corner, feeling suffocated by the deep feeling of powerlessness and despair. At this point, he no longer knows where to go next...if he continues to stay here, his entire family will starve to death, and if he leaves here, the vicious thieves outside will kill them all...and maybe they will. Because they could not hand over the so-called treasures, they were tortured and tortured in every possible way, and their deaths were even more miserable.
"People inside, listen carefully to me. As long as you come out obediently and hand over the treasure and the woman, we can guarantee that no one, male or female, old or young, will be touched, and we will never enter this place again in the future."
"What a bunch of stupid guys. What's the point of holding on like this? Don't you care about your own life, or even the lives of your own family and children? You will die sooner or later inside. Come out and surrender obediently, and then satisfy our demands. Conditions, we guarantee that no one will die, and we will give you a good meal first!”
When everyone was in despair, the shouts of the Black Demon mercenaries became increasingly difficult to resist in their ears. At this time, an old man stood up tremblingly and said: "Chief, what they said is right. Sooner or later, we will all starve to death here. At this point, there is no point in hiding anymore. It's better to go out." Surrender, maybe they will do what they say and won’t hurt us.”
"No!" Feng Baichuan shook his head and said sadly: "You should have felt before that they are all more or less violent. These are a bunch of extremely vicious people who don't take their lives seriously at all. , if we go out, we will only die worse and suffer humiliation. If we persist for a while... Miss Xueruo said that her contracted spirit beast will wake up soon, and by then, we will hopefully be rescued. Even if I have to die in the end...I would rather die of hunger than die of humiliation!"
"Zu'er~~Xian'er!!!"
As soon as Feng Baichuan finished speaking, Feng Caiyun's heartbreaking shout suddenly sounded. Feng Baichuan stood up suddenly and threw himself in front of his wife Feng Caiyun... But Feng Zuer and Feng Xian'er passed out in Feng Caiyun's arms, their faces pale and sallow. No matter how Feng Caiyun shouted, they had no effect. reaction.
"Zu'er, Xian'er..." Feng Baichuan's fingertips were bleeding, and his eyes were filled with tears. He raised his hand and slapped his head hard, almost fainting in despair.
Lan Xueruo, who had been huddled in the corner, slowly stood up. Perhaps it was too much overdraft, but a month had passed and the giant snow sculpture still hadn't woken up. By this time, she knew that if she didn't think of any solution, she would not be able to survive the day.
"Clan Chief Feng, please temporarily open the sealing formation outside. I'll go out and grab some food."
After hearing Lan Xueruo's words, Feng Baichuan was stunned, and then quickly shook his head: "No! It's too dangerous. There are so many people outside, how can you grab food from them."
Lan Xueruo said with firm eyes: "After all, I have the profound power of the True Profound Realm. As long as their leaders of the True Profound Realm are not here, there will not be any danger. At the moment, the children cannot hold on any longer. If If they don't get some food, they will...
Feng Baichuan's lips moved, looking at the unconscious Feng Zu'er and Feng Xian'er, he finally nodded and said bitterly: "Miss Lan, you must be careful...there are so many grown men like us who are powerless here, but We can only let your daughter's family take such risks for us, it's really..."
"There is no need to say this, Chief Feng. I believe that if Chief Feng has enough power, he will be the first to go out... close the sealing array immediately. I will open it immediately after I go out. After I get the food, I will use my voice to inform you. It’s about the sealing formation.”
Although it comes with extremely high risks, it seems to be the only reprieve in desperate situations. Feng Baichuan stood at the entrance of the cave, bit his mouth open, sprinkled blood drops on the sealing formation, and said worriedly: "Be careful!"
In Feng Baichuan's voice, the red seal formation flashed with light, and then slowly disappeared. With Lan Xueruo's long sword in hand, a swift white shadow suddenly appeared on his body and flew outward.
