Chapter 114: The Mountains and Rivers Are Exhausted
"What are you going to do?"
When she suddenly felt the mysterious power in Yun Che's body flowing in a rather abnormal way, Jasmine was immediately alert and said in a deep voice: "You want to forcibly comprehend the fifth and sixth realms of this "Ode to the Phoenix World?" Are you crazy!"
"There is only one chance in a lifetime in front of me, and if I don't try, I will never be reconciled!" Yun Che closed his eyes and said. Thoughts and thoughts completely sank into the soul imprint in the jade. This "Ode to the Phoenix" is recorded with a soul imprint, and it can only be read with soul power. If you can successfully comprehend it, then it will be truly recorded in your soul. And if you can't comprehend it, you won't be able to remember the words, images, and ways of flowing the mystical power contained in it after you leave this place. Therefore, Yun Che only had a month to comprehend this fragment, and it was impossible to memorize it and perform it again after finding the first four folds in the future.
"Without the first four realms, how can you comprehend the fifth and sixth realms? If you don't even have roots, you just want to directly obtain the fruits? If you forcibly go against the path, the most likely result will be that the Xuan veins will be distorted, the meridians will be chaotic, and even the entrance that you have fully opened may be closed one after another. β
"There is no foundation from the first to the fourth, then I will build the foundation myself!" Yun Che said extremely calmly.
"Build your own foundation? Do you know how many tens of thousands of years it took the ancient Phoenix clan to come up with this "Ode to the Phoenix"? After the "Ode to the Phoenix came out", how many times did it evolve, change, and evolve? You only have a month at most, but you want to build your own foundation and directly comprehend the fifth and sixth realms?" Jasmine shook her head, "Even if you are really a peerless genius, it is impossible to do it!"
"At least let me try!" Yun Che said in a stubborn whisper. Then he cut off all other consciousnesses and completely immersed himself in the soul imprint of the "Ode to the Phoenix......
And at this time, he didn't notice, and Jasmine didn't notice, that under his coat, on the pendant he had worn since he was a child, there was suddenly a trace of enchanting light...... Gone in a flash.

Outside the sealing array, Lan Xueruo had been waiting anxiously, and half an hour had passed...... An hour passed...... Six hours passed...... A whole day and a night passed...... Her expression had already become dim. Feng Baichuan's heart also fell completely silent.
"Is this trial really going to be dead?" Seeing Feng Baichuan walk over again, Lan Xueruo turned sideways and asked with a blank look. She had asked the same question more than a dozen times.
Feng Baichuan let out a long sigh in his heart, and could only reluctantly comfort: "There are some clansmen who have indeed been buried in this trial. But...... But we don't need to be so pessimistic, maybe it's the little brother Yun who has passed the trial. Those ancestors who passed the guΓ² trial, the longest stayed in it for more than ten days before coming out. So...... Wait, maybe he'll be out soon. β
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 entering the Xuan Realm level. Yun Che hadn't come out yet, and in his opinion, the only possibility was that he had been buried in the Land of Trials. But at this moment, he could only comfort Lan Xueruo with these words, so that she could continue to have a glimmer of hope.
"Patriarch Feng, is there a way for you to let me in?"
Feng Baichuan shook his head: "The Land of Trials can only enter one person a month, I have no choice." β
Lan Xueruo bit her lip and didn't speak again, standing quietly in front of the door of the trial, looking ahead dementedly, frantically longing for the appearance of that figure in her heart...... She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she was secretly anxious about this kind of Cheng DΓΉ, and the thought that he might die in the land of trials would make her heart ache.
The outside was congested by the Black Devil Mercenary Group, and the Thousand Miles Transmission Note ran out, and the giant snow sculpture did not wake up...... None of this caught her off guard. And Yun Che didn't come out for a whole day, but she couldn't calm down in a panic.
Two days passed...... Three days passed...... Ten days have passed...... Fifteen days 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 land of trials and would never come out.
These days, she has been guΓ² in the dark, and the stinging in her heart has never stopped, day and night. Originally, she thought that she was grieving for the loss of a "hope" that she had finally found, but when this pain could not be calmed, when she thought of Yun Che's face, her heart twitched painfully, she gradually became confused, because she felt that this pain was completely beyond the scope of regretful pain, but what was the part that went out, she didn't know, because this feeling was very illusory and strange.
"Damn, it's been half a month, and I haven't come out yet! This cave is obviously stocked with food!"
No matter how much food and water they have, they will run out of food. Hmph, see how long they can last. β
The Black Devil Mercenary Group still hasn't left, they are sure that there must be a huge treasure inside, and two shifts of people take turns guarding it every day, and there is no moment to evacuate.
The food and water sources that Yun Che left for Feng Baichuan at the beginning, under Feng Baichuan's frugal distribution, half a month has passed, and less than one-third is left. He frowned every day, thinking hard about how to escape, but in the face of the absolutely overwhelming strength outside, even if he wanted to break his head, he had nothing to do, so he could only support it.
Twenty days passed...... Twenty-five days passed......
A month passed.
Under the cover of the Sealing Array, the Phoenix Relic Clan finally reached the point of exhaustion after struggling to support it for a whole month.
The space ring that Yun Che handed over to Feng Baichuan had been completely empty two days ago, and there was not a single grain of grain and a drop of water left. The adults have a low level of mystical power, which can barely support them, while the old people and children fall one after another in hunger, thirst and fear that has not gone away, and once they fall unconscious, they can no longer wake up.
Feng Baichuan's eye sockets had sunken deeply, and he sat in the cold corner, suffocated by a deep sense of powerlessness and despair. At this point, he didn't know what to do next...... If they stay here, their whole clan will starve to death, and if they leave here, the vicious thieves outside will kill them all...... Maybe they will be tortured and abused in every way because they can't hand over the so-called treasures, and their deaths will be even more miserable.
"The people inside gave me a good listen. As long as you come out obediently, and then hand over the treasure and the woman, we can guarantee that men, women, and children, will not touch any of them, and will never enter this place again in the future. β
"What a bunch of stupid guys, what's the good of you holding on like this? Do you don't care about your own life, even the lives of your own family and children? Sooner or later, you will die in it, come out and surrender obediently, and then meet our conditions, we promise that none of us will die, and we will let you have a good meal first!"
In the midst of everyone's despair, the cries of the Dark Mercenaries grew more and more irresistible in their ears. At this time, an old man stood up tremblingly and said: "Patriarch, what they said is right, we will all starve to death here sooner or later, at this point, there is no point in hiding any longer, let's go out and surrender, they may be like what they say, and they will not hurt us." β
"No!" Feng Baichuan shook his head and said gloomily: "You should have felt it before, they were all more or less angry. This is a group of extremely vicious people who don't take life seriously at all, and if we go out, we will only die worse and suffer humiliation. Hold on for a little longer...... Miss Xue Ruo said that her contract spirit beast was about to wake up, and when the time came, we would have hope to be rescued. And even if you have to die in the end...... I'd rather starve to death than die of humiliation!"
"Zu'er~~Xian'er !!"
As soon as Feng Baichuan's words fell, Feng Caiyun's heart-rending shout suddenly sounded. Feng Baichuan stood up violently and threw himself in front of his wife Feng Caiyun...... And Feng Zu'er and Feng Xian'er passed out in Feng Caiyun's arms, their faces were pale and sallow, no matter how Feng Caiyun shouted, they didn't react.
"Zu'er, Xian'er......" Feng Baichuan's fingertips oozed blood, his eyes were full of tears, he raised his hand and patted his head hard, almost fainting in despair.
Lan Xueruo, who had been shrinking in the corner, slowly stood up. Maybe it's because the overdraft is too bad, and a month has passed, and the giant snow sculpture still hasn't woken up. By this time, she knew that if she didn't think about anything, she wouldn't be able to survive a day.
"Patriarch Feng, please open the sealing formation outside temporarily, and I'll go out and grab some food and come in. β
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 snatch food from them." β
Lan Xueruo's eyes were firm and said: "After all, I have the power of the True Xuan Realm, as long as the leaders of their True Xuan Realm are not there, there will not be any danger." At the moment, the children can't support themselves, and 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, then you must be careful...... It's really ...... that so many of us big men can't do anything here, but we can only let one of your daughter's family take such a risk for us."
"Patriarch Feng doesn't need to say that, I believe that if Patriarch Feng has enough strength, he must be the first to go out...... Close the Sealing Array immediately, and open it as soon as I go out, and after I get the food, I'll tell you to close the Sealing Array again. β
Although the risks are extremely high, this seems to be the only respite from a desperate situation. Feng Baichuan stood at the entrance of the cave, bit his mouth, sprinkled blood droplets on the sealing array, and said worriedly: "You must be careful!"
In Feng Baichuan's voice, the red sealing array flashed, and then slowly disappeared, Lan Xue Ruo had a long sword in his hand, and his body suddenly swept up a swift white shadow, flying outward.
