MARTIAL PEAK 5308

Although there was no one to teach him how to cultivate in the Phoenix Nest, the ancient Great Dao dao marks were the best teachers. Devouring and refining these dao marks would reflect on one's body and find one's own shortcomings.

His attainments in the Space Dao rapidly increased.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

Yang Kai opened his eyes and looked inside himself.

His realm had not increased, but his attainments in the Space Dao had clearly increased. The improvement of his Great Dao meant that his absolute strength had increased.

Gently raising his hand, he seemed to be able to stir the flow of space.

Yang Kai's expression was as calm as an ancient well. This result was undoubtedly satisfactory. The Phoenix Nest's several months of cultivation far exceeded his many years of bitter cultivation.

The only regret he felt was that his attainments in the Space Great Dao didn't seem to show any signs of breaking through to the next level.

In his own understanding of the Dao, the last stage was a world-shaking level that represented a height no one had ever reached before.

Although he had gained a lot from the Phoenix Nest, he was still unable to take this step, but he had no regrets. He believed that one day he would be able to reach this height.

He didn't continue cultivating. After several months of crazily devouring and refining, the nearly saturated Space Dao Mark in this Phoenix Nest had clearly become much thinner, similar to the situation in the Phoenix Nest of Si Niang. He can't really exhaust it. In the future, Su Yan would definitely come here to cultivate. The more benefits he took, the less Su Yan would obtain in the future.

Right now, the situation was just right. He had taken enough, and the Nirvana Chinese Parasol Tree would slowly replenish itself. When Su Yan came to cultivate one day, it would not delay her cultivation.

Additionally, Yang Kai felt that there was no point in continuing his cultivation. The final step was not something that could be taken with the Space Dao Mark of the Phoenix Nest. One could only follow behind others and comprehend the Supreme Concepts by themselves.

On top of that, he didn't know when the Dragon Pond on the Dragon Clan's side would open. He had been delayed here for several months, so if he missed the opening of the Dragon Pond, the Dragon Clan wouldn't be kind enough to wait for him.

So it was time to leave.

Finally feeling the familiar aura of this place, Yang Kai's heart stirred and he reached out his hand towards a certain spot in the void.

The door to the Phoenix Nest opened and Yang Kai stepped out.

The scene in front of him caused Yang Kai to jump in fright. Many pairs of eyes that were scattered all over the Parasol Tree stared at him, some of them filled with suspicion, some even filled with hatred.

Under the envelopment of these auras, Yang Kai's body instantly stiffened.

What is happening?

Yang Kai's face went blank. He didn't need to look around to know that there were at least thirty or forty pairs of eyes staring at him, and judging from these auras, there was no shortage of Phoenix Clan masters equivalent to the Eighth Order Human Race.

Thinking about it, Yang Kai knew that all the people gathered here were from the Phoenix Clan.

Ordinary people might not even be able to see a single pure-blooded Phoenix Clan in their entire lives, but now, there were dozens of them in front of Yang Kai. However, Yang Kai wasn't too happy because many of them had unfriendly expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to tear him apart.

Was he blocked by the Phoenix Clan? Did they really have to be so stingy? He had only gone to Su Yan's Phoenix Nest to obtain some benefits.

"Everyone is here?" Yang Kai squeezed out a smile and asked dryly.

No one responded.

Yang Kai secretly activated his Space Principle and prepared to flee at any moment. The Phoenix Clan were masters of the Space Dao, if he really wanted to escape, he might not be able to escape, but at this moment, he could only place his hopes on this.

However, unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to make things too difficult.

Yang Kai's eyes met with Huang Si Niang's, but the latter simply ignored him.

Yang Kai cursed in his heart. This bastard had no sense of justice. If she hadn't invited him, how could he have come to the Nirvana Chinese Parasol Tree? Now that something had happened, she was acting like she didn't know him.

Yang Kai also had some guesses about the current situation. It was just that as a human, he had entered the Phoenix Nest, but this situation was a bit too big.

Yang Kai couldn't help feeling a headache. Since ancient times, the No-Return Pass had always been guarded by the Dragon and Phoenix. Although there were also some other Holy Spirits, in general, Dragon and Phoenix were the leaders.

He didn't have a good relationship with the Dragon Clan, so if he were to offend the Phoenix Clan as well, he might really die.

What should he do?

While he was lost in thought, a dignified woman suddenly asked, "Do you possess the Phoenix Clan's Source?"

Yang Kai turned his head to look at her, but he didn't feel any aura from this woman's body, but her deep eyes seemed to have an indescribable attraction, as if they wanted to swallow Yang Kai's Soul.

Under such gazes, any lie or deception was disrespectful.

Yang Kai's heart trembled slightly, knowing that this woman wasn't someone to be trifled with. She didn't have any intention of affecting his thoughts, but her strength had reached a certain level, and a simple gaze from her already possessed a mysterious power.

Yang Kai had experienced similar feelings from a few people, all of whom were Human Race Old Ancestors.

"Senior is…" Although he had some guesses, Yang Kai still asked.

Huang Si Niang knew that Yang Kai didn't know much about the Phoenix Clan, so she quickly explained, "This is my Phoenix Clan's Patriarch, the current Phoenix Empress."

The Phoenix Empress was both a name and a tittle, just like the Dragon Emperor, only the strongest of the current generation of the Phoenix Clan was qualified to have this title.

Yang Kai quickly bowed, "So it's Senior Phoenix Empress, this little brat has been rude."

The Phoenix Empress nodded slightly and frowned slightly, "Although you have the aura of a clan member, you don't seem to possess the Phoenix Clan's Source."

Yang Kai replied honestly, "Reporting to Phoenix Empress, this little brat does not have the Phoenix Clan's Source."

"Then have you come into contact with the Phoenix Clan before?" The Phoenix Empress asked again.

"Yes." Yang Kai secretly clicked his tongue. It had been several hundred years since he had come into contact with the Phoenix Clan, yet she was still able to detect it? Was the Phoenix Clan's nose really so sharp, or did they have some other way to distinguish it?

What he didn't know was that Huang Si Niang had only invited him into the Phoenix Nest to speak because she had sensed the remnant aura of her clansmen. Otherwise, with the arrogant temperament of the Phoenix Clan, how could any random person enter the Phoenix Nest?

Even the Dragon Clan in the No-Return Pass did not receive such treatment.

"What is the situation of the person you've come into contact with?" The Phoenix Empress asked.

Yang Kai thought about it for a moment before replying, "She's fine, she is currently cultivating in the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land."

"The Ancestral Land…" The Phoenix Empress murmured softly, a look of nostalgia appearing on her face. Whether it was the Dragon Clan or the Phoenix Clan, the Ancestral Land was a distant matter. Since the two races were responsible for guarding the No-Return Pass, they had not returned to the Ancestral Land for countless years.

Since that clansman had entered the Ancestral Land to cultivate, they must have had some opportunities.

With regards to the secrets of the Ancestral Land, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans in the No-Return Pass had some understanding.

"Is that person a human race?" The Phoenix Empress asked again. Most of the Phoenix Clan's Source had been left outside and had been obtained by the Human Race before being refined. If the power of the Source can be tapped, their bloodline would slowly transform. If one could reach the No-Return Pass and cultivate in the Phoenix Nest of the Nirvana Chinese Parasol Tree, one day they would be able to shed their mortal body and transform into a pure-blooded Phoenix Clan.

Of course, there were also those who weren't from the Human Race. Many mutated beasts with the Phoenix Clan's bloodline are mo likely to refine and fuse with the Phoenix Clan's Source.

"Precisely."

"Are you familiar with this person?" If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to retain the other party aura.

"Uh… that's my wife," Yang Kai scratched his cheek.

"Wife…" The Phoenix Empress was stunned. Although the structure of the Phoenix Clan was different from that of the Human Race, how could she not understand the meaning of calling them Wife?

A woman who possessed the Phoenix Clan's Source had become the wife of a man who possessed the Dragon Clan's Source.

From ancient times until now, this kind of thing had never happened before. The Dragon Clan had the pride of the Dragon Clan, and the Phoenix Clan had the pride of the Phoenix Clan, not to mention that the Source of these two great race doesn't have much left.

"Have you… combined?" The Phoenix Empress asked again.

Yang Kai's face turned red. This woman… how could she ask this question? How could he answer her?

Moreover, since she was his partner, wasn't it normal for them to act in such a manner? Why did she have to ask about this?

"Yes!"

At this moment, many members of the Phoenix Clan couldn't remain calm, especially those who had been glaring at Yang Kai. At this moment, all of them were filled with anger and killing intent. If it weren't for the Phoenix Empress personally presiding over this place, they would have likely jumped up and killed this bastard who had blasphemed the Phoenix Clan.

However, the Phoenix Empress showed a look of understanding, "No wonder you were able to open the Phoenix Nest."

Combining their auras, this human in front of her had the remnant aura of the Phoenix Clan's Source, which was why he had obtained the recognition of the Phoenix Nest, allowing him to enter.

Of course, if too much time passed and her aura faded or disappeared, the Phoenix Nest would not open so easily. It could only be said that the remaining Phoenix Clan aura in Yang Kai's body was enough to obtain the recognition of the Phoenix Nest.

Listening to the Phoenix Empress muttering to herself, Yang Kai also suddenly understood, "Senior means that the reason I was able to enter the Phoenix Nest was because of the remnant aura of my wife?"

The Phoenix Empress nodded slightly, "Other than that, there is no other reason."

Yang Kai nodded in understanding.

In fact, when he entered the Phoenix Nest, he had already made a guess, but in his joy at the time, he had been too lazy to think about it. Now, the Phoenix Empress's words had only confirmed his guess.

Otherwise, there was no reason for him to be able to enter Su Yan's Phoenix Nest while he was unable to enter Liu Yan's and Jiu Feng's. Jiu Feng was one thing, Yang Kai didn't have much contact with her, but he did have quite a bit of contact with Liu Yan. It was just that compared to Su Yan, they lacks aura interaction.

In other words, he was able to enter the Phoenix Nest thanks to Su Yan.

"The Ancestral Land…" The Phoenix Empress muttered softly. Not knowing the whereabouts of her clansmen was one thing, but now that she knew she was cultivating in the Ancestral Land, it was time to think of a way to bring her back.

The Phoenix Clan was extremely rare, so having one more member meant an extra force.

However, there was no need to explain this matter to others in detail, and at the moment, it is necessary to ask the Cave Heaven Paradise to do it. The Phoenix Clan couldn't easily leave this place, so if they wanted to pick someone up, they could only rely on the masters of the Cave Heaven Paradise.

Fortunately, this wasn't a big deal and she should be able to handle it with just a message.
