Dance Of The Phoenix
179. Exit Closed Training

During the absorption of the phoenix spirit power, countless memories were drawn and witnessed by Gu Yuena within her brain.

He was just an observer, and had only seen everything that had happened to the Phoenix Queen in her thousand years of life. From his birth, to his death. The most highlighted thing was how the spiritual egg seal was formed and used. It was humming a powerful holy power. 

It was the moment of the Phoenix Queen's death. He was severely injured after killing the Demon Dragon. He opened the seal for his spiritual egg. All the steps could be clearly seen until finally a seal was formed and encompassed the egg filled with demonic energy. 

However, it is not that easy to apply a seal to something that is aberrant. A demonic power emerged, an invisible red-eye figure appeared carrying a powerful suppression right within the Phoenix Queen's spiritual realm.

Gu Yuena naturally experienced it. The overwhelming and stifling strength, exactly made his spiritual realm shake violently. It was just a memory, yet the fear pierced Gu Yuena and made her wake up from the absorption process.

Pain ... His heart feels hot and sick.

Gu Yuena clasped her left chest and felt weak. The power of the Phoenix Queen was shaken by the pressure of that memory and made Gu Yuena unstable. He felt like he was exposed to the fire poison once again, yet the ice essence from the ice jade in his heart immediately gave him a coolness.

"It's very powerful." Xiao Bai commented.

"Miss, you should have experienced a period of nirvana after absorption is complete. But ... The creature is disturbing." Xiao Hei frowned.

"Nirvana?"

"The previous "Queen of the Phoenix had immense power. The process of absorption will take a very long time and it will make you enter a state of nirvana with holy fire to receive it. Because of the disturbance, you only absorbed a portion of his original strength. If you want to absorb it again, you will have to wait a little longer until the shocks in your spiritual realm calm down."

Xiao Hei's explanation opened Gu Yuena's mind. He smiled wryly and could not help but blame the certain demons that were troubling him. He would teach the devil a lesson by not allowing him to be reborn.

"We must return immediately to the Ruler's Palace," exclaimed Gu Yuena.

"I think this demon is very dangerous. He had the power of gods and demons together, sealing it would be much more difficult without the power of the full version of the Phoenix Queen." Xiao Bai knew clearly Gu Yuena's situation. 

Previously, Gu Yuena told them a story and she was in the spiritual room, automatically seeing what she saw. The memory is terrible.

"Don't know if you don't try."

Gu Yuena moved. He made a letter made of magic to convey to Xuan Yi and Bai Youzhe that he would return to the Ruler Palace today. After writing a letter and sending it, he went out.

The little dragons looked sad to see Gu Yuena was leaving. Unfortunately, Gu Yuena could not see their grief and just left through the portal that Xuan Yi had prepared.

In just a few minutes, he had been at the gate of the Ruler's Palace. When he stepped foot there, Chu Xin immediately came to her senses and darted towards her and gave a welcome.

"Your Majesty, you're back." Chu Xin smiled happily. It's been a few years in Underworld time and he misses his nona much.

"Is Bai Youzhe here?"

Chu Xin shook his head weakly. "The situation of the Mitian Plain is deteriorating. They had a big war a few days ago. Merely, Hall Leader Linghun suddenly left and the Queen of Linghun Palace has yet to appear."

Gu Yuena nodded in understanding. Yang Xinyuan must be preparing for an attack in the Underworld. He had to act fast and take out the demon bone. With the existence of the demon bone in Yang Xinyuan's hand, the war that occurred would be even more difficult on his part. He was well aware of what kind of strength the demon bones possessed.

"Chu Xin, do you know where the room of the spiritual eggs belonging to the Phoenix Queen is kept?"

Chu Xin seemed to be wondering and nodded doubtfully. He led Gu Yuena to the room where the spiritual egg was located. The surveillance was not strict, but there was a special seal on the door belonging to Bai Youzhe that made anyone unable to enter carelessly.

Gu Yuena did not have the time to explain to Chu Xin the reason for coming here. Due to his relationship with Bai Youzhe, he had a little of his aura left in his spiritual power.

He extracted the aura and gave rise to the silver-colored dragon aura in his hand. He took her to the seal on the door, and opened it. He knew because Bai Youzhe had told him once, but Gu Yuena had only tried this time.

His efforts are quite effective. Without using much energy, the door opened by itself.

The room had no other lighting other than the golden light from the seal. A few meters inside, there was an egg as big as an adult head floating in the air with the dense dark energy of the demons. The golden seal surrounding it weakened and began to be transparent as time passed.

It is a spiritual egg.

Grip-out feeling out of there. Although Gu Yuena did not see the shape, she could still tell it from the memory that the Phoenix Queen had sent. There was a deep feeling of distress and sadness when it felt a dark aura radiating with danger.

This may be the feeling of the Phoenix Queen.

Ever since the demonic energy was attached, the daughter of the Phoenix Queen had already left and was replaced by a demon from another world. Gu Yuena understood the pain. That was why, he had to try his hardest not to let the demon be born and wreak havoc using the form of the descendant of the Phoenix Queen.

"Chu Xin, leave me."

Chu Xin hesitated for a moment. Looking at Gu Yuena with her undeniable face, she could neither comment nor ask any questions. If there was Bai Youzhe here, that man would also give up. He left and closed the door without knowing what Gu Yuena was going to do inside.

Inside, Gu Yuena formed a hand seal. He performed a hand seal based on the memories given by the Phoenix Queen, then came out a golden beam formed from his fire magic. That golden beam formed a golden chain that began to solidify and extend toward the spiritual egg and complete the transparent seal.

What Gu Yuena saw was just a dark empty space, but this time she saw a golden chain that seemed to show its form and encircle an object. Gu Yuena had originally only focused on sealing. But the next second, for the first time since losing sight, his eyes showed a startled reaction as if seeing something shocking.

He saw an unfamiliar soul, entangled by a golden chain that was supposed to seal the spiritual egg.

He remembered, that the Phoenix Queen had also seen this. The pair of terrifying red eyes that had bothered him and gave him an overwhelming fear. 

For a moment, Gu Yuena seemed to have seen the delicate features of her face. But he doesn't know where to see it. The rest, he just felt foreign.

If Gu Yuena was not reminded that the man had done bad things in the past and made a lot of fear on the world, even threatening the entire world, he said, he would not concern connecting with a handsome man who looked delicate and helpless with the cruel tyranny that was told.

Although Gu Yuena had experienced the same thing, she did not threaten the world so the gods had to intervene. This guy is very dangerous.

Being able to see that figure, Gu Yuena had a slight ease to form a seal. He perfected the seal while the man was still in a long sleep. However, it is easier said than done. His demonic energy was too powerful that it required a lot of effort for Gu Yuena to break through the restrictions.

When the seal was successfully refined, suddenly the red and evil eye opened. Gu Yuena was shocked, and subconsciously retreated backwards. Those red eyes were more terrifying than the gazes of both the Demon Lord and the Demon Dragon. It was full of bloodlust.

The man revealed a cold smile when he saw Gu Yuena, as if he was threatening her. But he said nothing but looked on with a condescending look.

Gu Yuena's expression turned cold.

"Sadly, we'll see each other again next time. You will be the first person I kill," said the man in a lazy tone as he looked towards the seal binding his entire body and both his hands and feet.

Gu Yuena did not say anything else after. He turned away from the sealed soul, then turned away from the room without turning his head. The Phoenix Queen was right, she was not released.

Gu Yuena sighed and was not aware that sweat had soaked her body. The pressure inside was too painful for his soul and he had spent a lot of strength to form a seal.

He was not even adar, that Bai Youzhe had been waiting for him right before him.

"Did something happen?" ask Bai Youzhe. He would not have expected that Gu Yuena would be surprised by his presence and show a puzzled face for a moment.

Gu Yuena smiled wryly. "The story is long."

Bai Youzhe sighed and said, "You should be waiting for me. The dark energy inside was extremely powerful. You even sweat a lot." He wiped away the cold sweat on Gu Yuena's forehead gently.

"I have the trust of the former Queen of Phoenix ...." Gu Yuena told Bai Youzhe everything, except for her encounter with the demon soul.

The spiritual egg could not be destroyed because of the dark energy emanating from that demon soul. It really should be sealed in such a way. So Bai Youzhe decided to completely seal it so that there would be no problems in the future.

Gu Yuena rested for a moment for a day to recover strength. After which, he directly went to Bai Youzhe's study room to discuss her plan.

There were only the two of them here, so Gu Yuena could freely talk about various important matters.

"I'll go to Hell County tomorrow."

Bai Youzhe frowned. "Isn't it too fast?"

"I even thought it was too long. I postponed it for a very long time, whereas they would not wait for me until I passed the phoenix nirvana process. Yang Xinyuan returned to the Hell Region, she definitely had a plan. With the demon bone in his hand, declaring war on the Underworld to expand the realm of power was only a matter of time."

Bai Youzhe thought that was indeed true. "Then what's your plan?"

Gu Yuena slightly smiled. "I'm very familiar with the Hell Region. I will sneak into the main palace and you will wait for me outside. Don't worry, because I've memorized the ins and outs of the palace before as well as its guard. Yang Xinyuan was very haughty, she did not place too many guards so it gave me plenty of opportunities to sneak in. After I sneak in, I'll steal the demon bone from his hand."

Bai Youzhe thought it wouldn't be that easy. "Easy saying. How are you gonna steal it?"

"I have camouflage magic and make my form invisible. My strength has also increased. Yang Xinyuan won't be able to find me. As for how I would steal it, it all depends on what Yang Xinyuan is doing. Once I get it, I'll call you and give you the demon bone."

Bai Youzhe felt something was up. "What about you?"

"Yang Xinyuan won't hurt me. I have a thousand ways to escape. You only need to secure the demon bones as far as possible. At that time, Yang Xinyuan will definitely deploy many people to hunt you down. It would be a troublesome task."

If you think about it carefully, Gu Yuena is right. With his condition, it would be difficult for him to run away from the pursuit. Until Bai Youzhe secures the demon bones, she will remain in the Hell Region. Yang Xinyuan was also not going to hurt him.

Worst to catch him.

But, it should have been by then that Bai Youzhe had already finished securing. Gu Yuena was also not easy to handle so they could meet and repel Yang Xinyuan.

This was Gu Yuena's plan. He did not need the help of the other party who would increase the number of casualties. He would not use the hands of others to complete his mission in such a complicated scheme.

At least, he won't do it again.

The plan was well-delivered. Bai Youzhe agreed, though somewhat doubtful. Gu Yuena was quite pleased with the positive reaction from Bai Youzhe.

Yang Xinyuan, it's time we meet again.

In essence, it has something to do with the finished TEGWIN novel.
