Chapter 501: Blue- Phoenix Feather!?

Chapter 501: Blue- Phoenix Feather!?

"Oh… Looks like the grand ceremony is still taking place even with me around…"

Realizing that the grand ceremony that he had ended up delaying was still proceeding with an outsider like himself around, Xuan Hao could not help showing a bit interest, as he hid himself with his domain before making his way towards the large hall of the temple where the grand ceremony of the Half Spirit race was taking place.

Compared to the large hall of the temple from before, the entire hall was completely filled to the brim with people from the Half Spirit race. Most of them cheering as a small group of young people could be seen standing on top of a large formation drawn at the centre of the large hall. Even the tallest among them had was just barely half a meter tall.

What in the world is that formation for? It was not there before…

Looking over towards the grand elder in charge of the grand ceremony talking passionately to the young people on top of the formation, Xuan Hao decided to wait until the ceremony had ended before asking the grand elder about the things, they had taken out from the ancient record hall and where those things were store

Fwoosh!

Feeling even more curious about the ceremony after seeing the formation that was on the ground beneath the group of young people light up, Xuan Hao found a good place to settle down and watch the grand ceremony of the Half Spirit race.

Even if it was a bit of a waste of time, Xuan Hao didn't mind it at all. After all, he was quite curious about the grand ceremony of the Half Spirit race himself.

"The ceremony is finally starting! I hope I can make it through the trail…"

"You are one to talk, you are far stronger than me! I only just reached the Foundation Establishment Realm two days ago!"

"It's your own fault for slacking off all the time!"

Standing on top of the large formation at the centre of the large hall, the group of young people from the Half Spirit race nervously talked among each other as the formation beneath their feet grew brighter and brighter before they suddenly found themselves inside a large arena covered in ancient symbols.

Swish~!

Before the young people from the Half Spirit race had any time to react to suddenly finding themselves somewhere completely foreign to them, they were forcibly separated from each other.

Roar!

Roar Roar Roar!

Following which a large demon beast at the Foundation Establishment Realm appeared in front of each of them.

Bang!

"Die! Beast!"

Boom!

Before long, the young people from the Half Spirit seemed to have recovered from their confusion, as each of them lunged towards the demon beast in front of them filled with killing intent.

Very clearly, they had realized that all of it was a part of the trail set up for them by their elders!

How interesting, it looks like the formation links together with the temple to transport the young people into some sort of arena that's part of the temple. From the looks of it, the Half Spirit race turned this arena into some sort of coming of age for their children.

Having seen the entire thing taking place, Xuan Hao easily managed to see through it. Even the actual location of the arena that the group of young people from the Half Spirit race was currently fighting inside of, could not hide from him!

However, there was nothing inside the arena other than a few demon beasts that had been sealed away inside of it. The Half spirit race also seemed to have gained full control over the arena, as a few elders were even hiding inside of it. Likely in case one of the younger people could not beat the demon beast that he or she faced off against.

Seeing this, Xuan Hao realized that the demon beast sealed away inside the arena was the doing of the elders from the Half Spirit race.

Nothing too surprising, as the strongest demon beast in there was only at the Core Formation Realm…

The only thing that made Xuan Hao curious about the demon beasts, was where they had come from. After all, when he scanned the small valley that the Half Spirit race lived inside of, he had not managed to find any demon beast at all. Not even a single demon beast at the Qi Condensation Realm was present!

"One more thing to ask the grand elder about…"

Muttering this to himself, Xuan Hao looked away from the fight taking place inside the arena and instead focused on the large phoenix mural inside the large hall. After all, a fight at the Foundation Establishment Realm was far from interesting to someone at the Domain Lord Realm... Of course, things would be different if it was his own disciple fighting!

"Hm?"

Inspecting the large phoenix ceiling mural above him, Xuan Hao suddenly saw something at the tail of the phoenix that was located just above the grand elder.

Is this not another blue feather…?

Realizing that he had finally managed to find another blue feather hidden in plain sight. Blending together with the enormous phoenix in the ceiling of the large hall, Xuan Hao suddenly came to the realization, that the blue feathers that he had been collecting might very well be phoenix feathers…

Real phoenix feathers that had belonged to an ancient phoenix from the ancient era that the temple came from!

"I don't think they would mind me taking it away. After all, they have no idea its even there in the first place…"

Not planning to simply leave it now that he had found another blue phoenix feather, Xuan Hao went up and grabbed the blue phoenix feather before putting it away with the other three feathers inside his interspatial ring.

The grand elder just below him didn't notice any of this, as he continued watching over the young people fighting with all their strength inside the arena. By this point, the first and strongest among them had already begun wounding the demon beast they were fighting against, causing the surrounding members of the Half Spirit race watching through the formation to cheer excitedly.

Silently returning to the place he had been watching the fights taking place inside the arena, Xuan Hao did not have to wait for long before the fights taking place inside the arena came to an end.

In total, 23 people had participated in the trail and 23 had passed in the end. Nothing too surprising given the fact that the demon beasts were only in the First Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and they had been weakened by their elder before the fight took place…

Following the end of the fight in the arena, the grand elder congratulated the young people on successfully passing the trail to become adults.

The talking part was not really something Xuan Hao was that interested in, as he instead spent his time fiddling with one of the blue phoenix feathers. Trying to figure out what was so special about it to no avail.

Not to mention, he could no figure out why the other three blue phoenix feathers had not reacted to the feather inside the temple.

Was the feather inside the temple perhaps different from the three other feathers he had picked up so far…?

…

Spending the next two hours like that, Xuan Hao only put away the blue phoenix feather in his hand after discovering that the grand elder and the other elders were leaving the large hall.

At this point, it had already gotten dark outside, and the grand ceremony had come to an end. The only people who remained behind after the elders started leaving, were the young people who had just become adults.

Rustle~

"Ah! Why is it that we have to clean up after everyone?"

"Hah… Don't think too much about it, it's a tradition after all…"

"Why do I feel like its just something made up by the elders because they are too lazy to clean up the temple hall by themselves…?"

"Even if it is like that, what can we do about it?"

"That… That is true…"

Following the elders having left, these new adults of the Half Spirit race began cleaning up the large temple hall. Not looking so happy about their current situation…

Whoosh~

Seeing this scene, Xuan Hao did not intend to stay behind as he quickly followed after the grand elder of the Half Spirit race.

He had already waited patiently for a few hours and Xuan Hao really wanted to ask him about the things his race had taken out from the ancient record hall below the temple and see if he could get something for his disciples.

At the same time, he also wanted to ask him about the demon beasts sealed away inside the arena and find out where they had gotten the demon beasts from!
