The view was as beautiful and refreshing as a spring day. The mountains were pristine, and the lakes were crystal clear, not to mention the gently flowing clouds and mist. It was truly a majestic view.
This was some kind of Sealed World.
Yang Kai was no stranger to the existence of Sealed Worlds; after all, the Small Universe of a High-Rank Open Heaven Realm Master was a Sealed World. The Universe Paradises and Universe Cave Heavens left behind after the death of High-Rank Open Heaven Realm Masters on the Black Ink Battlefield were also Sealed Worlds.
Yet this Sealed World gave him a different feeling.
This place seemed to still maintain the aura of the dawn of Chaos and the first division of the Heavens and Earth. The ancient aura was everywhere, giving Yang Kai the illusion of him entering a long-forgotten wilderness.
“These are the real Phoenix Nests.” The young woman’s words resonated in his ears, “The Nirvana Parasol Tree was there at the birth of the Phoenix Clan. There are as many Phoenix Nests on the Nirvana Parasol Tree as Phoenixes in this Universe. The Phoenix Nest is the root of every Phoenix, and this space is different from the outside world.”
Yang Kai instantly understood. It was no wonder the ancient aura was preserved here. It was because this aura was created by the Nirvana Parasol Tree itself, which had survived since long ago and remained pure and unspoiled like this.
[So these are Phoenix Nests!]
Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel ashamed for having assumed that the Phoenix Clan would physically build their nest on the Parasol Tree just like any other bird.
Yang Kai quietly reminded himself to avoid basing future decisions solely on the surface.
Then, he saw the young woman straighten her body and move right into a huge nest.
Yang Kai looked up at the sky and silently followed.
The three figures flew inside and sat down cross-legged.
Yang Kai took an inquisitive look around and soon realised that from the outside, it appeared to be a massive bird nest, but that once he entered, it was totally different.
Without time to investigate carefully, Yang Kai briefly cupped his fist, “Great Evolution Pass’ Yang Kai. How may I address the both of you?”
The woman gave a gentle smile and replied, “Huang Si Niang.”
Then, she pointed at her companion, “Feng Liu Lang!”
Yang Kai wasn’t certain how to deal with it because their names seemed to be a little too simple. In the Phoenix Clan, the males were surnamed Feng while the females were surnamed Huang, which made it concise and clear.
At least, it was convenient to address them this way.
He was too lazy to delve into the subject, but as he wanted to say something out of courtesy, Huang Si Niang continued, “Before you ask something, I have something to give you.”
Yang Kai was taken aback. He had just arrived and he was already receiving gifts? [Were those from the Phoenix Clan all this friendly?]
Immediately, he sat upright, and said solemnly, “I dare not reject anything from Seniors.”
While he may have previously addressed her as though they were on an equal footing, he was actually aware that this woman’s age was measured in tens of thousands of years. She could even be his ancestor.
Huang Si Niang smiled, “You’re really good at talking. Humans sure are sweet.”
Yang Kai placed his hand on his chest, “Everything I have said, I said from the bottom of my heart. I wonder what Senior would like to give me?”
“This,” While speaking, Huang Si Niang took out a long feather and handed it to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai could tell it was extraordinary just by glancing at the flowing light of the long feather, which was the tail feather of a Phoenix.
[What did she give me this for?]
Seemingly noticing Yang Kai’s doubts, Huang Si Niang explained, “I lost the bet with Liu Lang just now, so this is the prize.”
Yang Kai instinctively felt something was wrong; after all, even if she lost the bet, why did the prize end up with him?
But now that it had been handed over, it wouldn’t do any good to reject it, especially when he had other requests for her. As Yang Kai received the feather, his body shook.
He didn’t perceive anything by just looking at the long feather’s flowing light, but once he held it, he at once understood that the long feather was covered with an exceedingly potent Space Principle fluctuation.
Although it was clear that he was holding the long feather in his palm, due to the fluctuations of Space Principles, it appeared to be both tangible and intangible at the same time, as if it could enter into the Void at any moment.
Ordinary people would have a tremendously difficult time just holding something like this, but fortunately, Yang Kai was also an expert in the Dao of Space. With just a little effort, the light flowing off the long feather suddenly took shape.
[This is wonderful!] Yang Kai felt that if he fully comprehended the secrets within this feather, it would help him improve his understanding of the Dao of Space.
Huang Si Niang and Feng Liu Lang exchanged glances, and both could see that the other was surprised to witness this scene.
They once saw Yang Kai use Space Principle and were aware of his mastery over the Dao of Space; however, now they felt as though they had underestimated him too much.
Yang Kai raised his head, “Si Niang is an expert in the Dao of Space?”
“Is there a problem with the highest-ranking members of the Phoenix Clan being experts in the Dao of Space?” Huang Si Niang covered her mouth and smiled.
“Are you saying that all the high-ranking members of the Phoenix Clan are experts in the Dao of Space?”
“You didn’t know?” She asked curiously.
Yang Kai blinked, “I was not informed of this.” Additionally, even though he had never seen a pure Phoenix Clan member, he was greeted by Qing Luan, Yuan Chu, and others in the Divine Spirit Ancestral Land. They could be considered a branch of the Phoenix Clan, but they didn’t look as though they were Masters of the Dao of Space.
Similarly, even with her Ice Phoenix Source, Su Yan showed no indications of mastering or even understanding the Dao of Space.
Thus, Yang Kai was really caught by surprise.
“Most Humans won’t know much about the Divine Spirits, but you’re from a Cave Heaven or Paradise, no? How could you not have known? Didn’t your Elders tell you about it?”
Yang Kai became a little speechless and replied, “I’m actually not from any of the Cave Heavens or Paradises.”
