"Heh, Young Master is in quite the mood for stargazing!" Ao Yun laughed as he emerged from the basement, having dealt with Yalo, and saw Ling Feng gazing at the night sky.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, "Ao Yun, I'm not in the mood for jokes right now. Isn't it about time you told me about the things you've been hiding from me? I certainly don't want to remain clueless!"

Ao Yun shook his head, "I had hoped I could keep them hidden a bit longer, but unfortunately, I've been discovered too soon!"

As he spoke, Ao Yun tossed the Devil's Ring to Ling Feng.

"Imprint your Divine Sense onto the Artifact Spirit, and consider the Devil's Ring tamed!" Ao Yun said with a slight smile.

Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, then pocketed the Devil's Ring, well aware that since he met Ao Yun, Ao Yun had never wronged him but instead helped him over and over again.

Even so, Ling Feng still wanted an explanation. Exactly how much had been kept from him?

After Ling Feng imprinted the Chihuahua with his own seal, the Devil's Ring transformed into a black light that spiraled around his finger, forming a patterned mark.

At a mere thought from Ling Feng, a bench nearby vanished, sucked into the Devil's Ring. Using his Divine Sense, Ling Feng saw the bench reappear inside the Devil's Ring, precisely the one that had disappeared.

Then, under the command of Ling Feng's mind, the bench came out of the Devil's Ring and returned to its original spot.

"It seems the Young Master already knows how to use it!" Ao Yun said with a laugh, "However, there is something you should know—if you wish to capture living beings, they must harbor no thoughts of resistance, otherwise, you cannot succeed."

Ling Feng turned and looked at Ao Yun, "I understand that now. I suppose you have more to say?"

Ao Yun nodded, "Indeed, since you've already found out, there's no use in me continuing to hide it! What I told you before was actually all lies."

Ling Feng furrowed his brow but did not interrupt, instead listening quietly to Ao Yun's explanation.

"I was once the mount of the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor. Due to injuries sustained in a war against different races, the Holy Emperor sealed me in Miao Territory, using the Sword Scar of the Xuanyuan Sword to suppress my injuries! The emperor once said that centuries later, someone would inherit his will and release me from the seal, and my task would be to assist the Young Master, helping you to grow rapidly!" Ao Yun said calmly.

"This is my true identity. I kept it hidden from you because I didn't want you to know, fearing it might lead you to complacency!" Ao Yun explained, "Although my strength has not returned to its peak and is suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, I am still capable of exerting the Cultivation beneath the God Realm."

At this point, Ling Feng spoke up, "The Nine Nether Blood Lotus is in your possession too, right?"

Ao Yun smiled, spreading his palm to reveal a small lotus flower in the center of his hand. To Ling Feng's surprise, the roots of the lotus were embedded in Ao Yun's palm, seemingly absorbing his blood continuously.

"Both the Nine Nether Blood Lotus and the rainbow flower are items of the Nine Nether, and they mature under one condition—that is the irrigation of fresh blood!" Ao Yun explained, "The Nine Nether Blood Lotus has not fully matured yet, and ordinary blood no longer works on them; only my Dragon Blood can further catalyze their growth!"

"Items from the Nine Nether possess miraculous powers!" Ao Yun said blandly, "The Nine Nether Blood Lotus, the dark rainbow flower, and the Huangquan five-colored grass, these three magical creatures, can be used to refine an Elixir, which is the Nine Nether Resurrection Pill!"

"The Nine Nether Resurrection Pill?" Ling Feng murmured, "This Elixir..."

Ao Yun spoke gravely, "The Nine Nether Resurrection Pill, even in the Ancient Era, was considered a super divine pill. As long as one is still breathing, it can fully restore one's injuries and even has the effect of Marrow Cleansing, which means, whether it is you or the Young Madam, as long as you have this Elixir, you need not worry about your illness at all!"

"Really!" Ling Feng's voice trembled slightly. He had sought many methods, but none had worked, and yet he hadn't expected...

Ao Yun smiled gently, "Young Master, why would I deceive you? However, your and the Young Madam's situations are not the same. You have damaged your foundational essence. After using the Nine Nether Resurrection Pill, you can break and be reborn. But actually, the Young Madam does not need the Nine Nether Resurrection Pill to resolve her issue!"

Ling Feng asked earnestly, "May I know the details!"

"Because the Young Madam... she is not an ordinary person. She has phoenix blood; she is a Descendant of the Phoenix Blood!" Ao Yun said, "Actually, I hadn't expected that, in this era of decline, there would still be a Descendant of the Phoenix Blood alive!"

Ling Feng was somewhat puzzled, "What is a Descendant of the Phoenix Blood?"

"Phoenix blood awakening, rebirth from the ashes!" Ao Yun said softly, "The reason why the lineage of the Young Madam does not live past thirty is because at the age of thirty, their phoenix blood will awaken. The awakened phoenix blood is too much for their mortal bodies to bear, so when the phoenix blood awakens, their organs and meridians will be consumed by the boiling phoenix blood. To solve this problem, there is only one way, which is for the Young Madam to become a fire spirit body!"

Ling Feng grew more confused, "What is a fire spirit body?"

"The fire spirit body is a type of Spiritual Body, which has a strong affinity with the Fire Attribute. Only a fire spirit body can withstand the power of rebirth during the time of phoenix blood awakening and can be reborn in fire stronger than ever!" Ao Yun explained, "But even in the Ancient Era, the fire spirit body was very rare, not to mention transforming a mortal body into a fire spirit body with acquired force!"

Ling Feng said solemnly, "Since you have told me, there must be a way to transform! Tell me!"

Ao Yun chuckled, "Indeed, transforming into a fire spirit body is difficult, but it's not without a solution! There is a way to immediately turn the Young Madam into a fire spirit body, which is the phoenix blood. Even a single drop of phoenix blood is enough to make a mortal achieve a fire spirit body!"

"Phoenix blood?" Ling Feng gave a bitter smile, "Where do you think I should go to obtain phoenix blood now? In today's world, the phoenix has long become a legend!"

Ao Yun said indifferently, "I happen to know a place where there must be phoenix blood!"

"Where!" Ling Feng asked eagerly.

"The Western Continent!" Ao Yun said calmly, "That is what you now refer to as Atlantis!"

Ling Feng was stunned, "This... You can't be joking, right? How could that be possible?"

Ao Yun explained, "What's so impossible about it? The reason why the Western Continent fell silent was precisely because of the battle between us and different races, which led to the silence of the Western Continent! I also sustained serious injuries in that battle, and during that battle, a phoenix perished, its body sinking into the sea along with the Western Continent!"
