Phoenix secret realm.
*Boom!*
*Screech!*
The red pillar and the bird cry were like blinding lights in the darkness instantly catching the attention of all the cultivators in the secret realm.
In a barren plane.
The corpses of different beasts where scattered around and at the centre stood five females each possessing unparalleled beauty, they wore red robes with the image of a phoenix on their chest; the immortal Phoenix sect!
" That is...?" One of the females muttered as she stared at the pillar of flame.
" It seems the XuanHuang empire haven't really cleared the Phoenix secret realm!" Another female exclaimed excitedly.
A female with a cold expression standing at the front of the group, clearly the leader stared at the pillar of flame with an intense gaze, " That sound...It can't be mistaken it's the cry of the Phoenix! Let's go we have to acquire this treasure!"
Without waiting for her companions, she turned into an escape light rushing towards the pillar of flame.
The females stared at each other with a wry smile then quickly followed.
But they weren't the only one.
In a cave.
25 figures gathered together all wearing purple robe with strips of gold,with the picture of a humane figure engraved at their chest---the cultivators from the royal family.
" It seems not everyone made it " a handsome male said as he stood up and surveyed the group noticing the absence of 5 cultivators.
" It seems they might be delayed " a member of the royal cultivator said.
" Or they...they might have died " another said grimly instantly causing the face of everyone present to darken though the XuanHuang empire is said to be the strongest with no one in a thousand mile daring to provoke them they were still some who's sect or clan has a feud with the XuanHuang empire or others who would kill without minding the backer of those they kill.
" Dead or alive it doesn't matter we won't wait for them any longer" The handsome male said colly making the face of everyone to become darker but yet none voiced any dissatisfaction, the handsome man had a special identity; the fifth prince of the XuanHuang empire a cultivator in the peak of the Nascent soul realm.
*Boom!!*
*Screech!!*
An explosion sounded together with the cry of a bird catching the attention of all the nobles present as they instinctively stared at the far north where a blazing pillar pierced through the sky.
" What's that?!!" A royal member gasped in shock.
" The inheritance of the secret realm!" The fifth prince, Yu Jun said as his eyes lit up staring at the blazing pillar, " Let's go or else an outsider would take what's ours!"
" What about the sky-devouring ape?" A member asked.
" Hmph, that's a matter for later, the inheritance of the secret realm comes first" Yu Jun said as he didn't hesitated any longer taking to the skies leaving behind a sentence, " Besides the thief might also be there and if they are not, the ancestors would understand!"
Looking at the receding figure of Yu Jun the royal members stared at each other and they also followed closely behind.
Miles away from the flame pillar, a group of disciples from the immortal cloud blossom sect gathered.
" That must be the inheritance of the Phoenix secret realm we shouldn't miss this opportunity" A disciple muttered as he stared at the flaming pillar, " Should we try our luck?"
As the disciple finish speaking everyone in the group stared at the woman at the centre.
She had long black hair, with a beautiful face, and a curvy body wearing the sky blue robe of the immortal cloud blossom sect with a cloud engraved at her chest.
Song Meieyes flickered as she seriously pondered but after a while she shook her head, " The appearance of this inheritance would surely be known by all, even though we might have the chance to possess it we are weak and others could snatch it from us, It's better for us to find other opportunities "
The disciples of the immortal cloud blossom sect stared at each other and after a while they nodded.
" Senior sister Song Mei is right this might lead to our death" A disciple said with a wry smile.
" Hmm, the holy sons and daughtersof various sects and clans surely won't stay idle either against them we are extremely weak " Another chimed in making the face of all disciples to become solemn.
Song Mei waved her sleeve as she smiled, " Don't be disappointed they are also many opportunities in this realm I don't believe that the XuanHuang empire would be able to clear the entire secret realm!"
....
With the appearance of the flaming pillar the skies of the secret realm was soon filled with escape light, cultivators from each clan and sect vying for the inheritance with some even engaging airborne, though they were also others like the immortal cloud blossom sect who didn't think that they where strong enough to wield the inheritance those were in the minority.
Outside the Phoenix secret realm.
Immortals from different sects and clans calmly stood on the void staring at the swirling red and black portal.
" I wonder if any disciple or clan member might be able to have a fortuitous encounter in the secret realm " an Immortal from the immortal celestial star sect said with a smile.
" Hmph, even getting normal herbal medicine would be impossible in the secret realm" the immortal from the immortal beast clan said with a snort.
This were the thought of all the immortals as the secret realm son e it founding had been monopolized by the XuanHuang empire a acquiring every single thing inside the secret realm.
They only agreed to let their clan members and disciple join these expedition because that is the only way to maximize their profit in helping the XuanHuang empire.
" Who knows they might be able to acquire the inheritance of the secret realm after all a secret realm exist because of a single reason and once it is acquired that is the time the secret realm closes, for the Phoenix secret realm to still be able to open means it inheritance hasn't been acquired" the immortal from the spiritual clan calmly explained causing the face of the immortal from the immortal beast clan to darken.
" Hmph, even if they are any inheritance in the secret realm do you think your clan members can be able to obtain it " The immortal from the immortal beast clan said.
The immortal from the spiritual clan tilted her head slightly and calmly smiled," Who knows"
The chest of the immortal from the immortal beast heaved but remembering something sneered, " I don't think it's possible after all who can lead your descendants without your clans spiritual child "
*Boom!*
Terrifying true qi burst forth from the immortal of the immortal spiritual " clan and the immortal of the immortal beast clan not wanting to be outdone also released his true qi causing it to clash with the immortal from the immortal spiritual clan.
The blue sky was instantly dyed with red and blue, with the ground being instantly vaporized fortunately apart from the immortals no one had stayed each retreating a thousand metres.
The immortals quietly retreated as they watched with interest the fight between the two immortals, their feud where known to have last for hundred of years with the immortal from the immortal beast clan killing the spirit child of the immortal spiritual clan.
Yu Tian frowned ready to intervened.
*Screech!!*
The cry of a bird came from within the secret realm instantly catching the attention of all the immortals even the two who were about to fight.
" The cry of a bird don't tell me..." An immortal frowned in confusion as he hadn't finished his words when the immortal beside him, the immortal from the immortal Phoenix clan exclaimed in shock,
" The cry of a phoenix!!"
