Long Chen tried touching the water with his finger. His finger looked perfectly fine. The water wasn't dangerous. There also appeared to be nothing odd about it.
He nodded. Holding the hands of Xun, he took a step inside the room as well.
He started flying behind Bai Gu.
As he swam through the water, he did hold his breath. He also felt something happening to his body because of the water, but it wasn't something bad.
On the contrary, he felt like his body's impurities were being absorbed by the water, making him stronger. Xun also felt the same.
Before long, he reached the exit of the room and left it.
Right behind him, Zhu Chang stepped out, landing on the ground.
"Well, that was a pleasant surprise. I feel refreshed after swimming through it. I would certainly love to do it for longer on our way back," Bai Gu said.
"And the best part, our clothes aren't wet either," Zhu Chang replied. "Maybe we should see this less of a challenging tomb like we often make and more of a helping ground for us. The Ancestral Beasts certainly wouldn't have bothered to make traps in their temple."
"Why would they? They were the strongest powers of their time. No one was going to dare step into their temple." Bai Gu nodded. "This was truly their home. So hopefully, the journey won't be risky. If it were, our family would have told us about that."
"Your family, you mean," Zhu Chang said, laughing. He was here without even knowing about this place, let alone the danger and such.
He took the lead this time, opening the massive golden door which was ahead of them.
Opening the door, Zhu Chang noticed an even bigger hallway, but it was slightly similar to what he had seen before.
It was like the Portal Hall in his house, just that it had teleportation formations carved on the ground around him.
There were around fifty such formations, spread throughout. Moreover, there was no door to leave the hall. The only way was by going back.
"Now I understand where the idea of our portal hall came from," Zhu Chang said.
"This is the only path ahead, stepping on one of these portals. Each portal must be connected to a different section of the temple," Bai Gu affirmed. "This should be where we separate from the others. We don't know which portal they selected. All look the same."
"Any guesses?" he asked, looking back.
"Your guess is as his as mine," Zhu Chang said. "Let's try the farthest one. Maybe it'll take you to the farthest floor."
He walked carefully, avoiding the formations on the ground, reaching the portal on the other end.
"Come behind me," he said as he stepped above the portal.
A blinding light flashed, disappearing along with Zhu Chang. However, they weren't the only ones who disappeared. That formation also disappeared.
"So that's how it is. These formations can only be used once. This means we would all have to separate," Bai Gu theorized.
"I suppose this is where we separate as well," he told Long Chen before stepping on a different portal. He disappeared as well.
"Which one will you take?" Xun asked Long Chen.
"I'll take..." Long Chen raised his finger, letting it roam over the surroundings until it stopped at Xun's nose. "This is the one I'm taking. If you think I'm letting you go alone, you're wrong. I'm not separated from you."
He sent Xun back to his Inner World since that was the only way he could take her with him.
He selected another portal and stepped on it, disappearing.
He appeared in an unknown room that had only one door ahead. However, this room was very fascinating.
He instantly brought Xun back.
"You didn't even warn me!" Xun complained.
"Leave that for later. First look at that," Long Chen pointed ahead, looking stubbed.
"What?" Xun looked where Long Chen was pointing. Even her lips opened a little as she saw what was ahead.
A rainbow colored feather was lying before them.
"A feather of the Ancient Rainbow Phoenix?" Xun exclaimed.
"Is that new or old?" Long Chen asked. "If it's new that means the Ancient Rainbow Phoenix has always gotten really big."
"It appears to be old," Xun commented. "You see the battle marks in the surrounding? I think this might be the place where the conflict between the two beasts actually began."
"After the conflict started here, they took it outside to not destroy the times. However, before that, they surely exchanged some moves. I can see some blood on this feather," Xun said, observing the weapon.
"So this is where Little Snow fought the Rainbow Phoenix?" Long Chen asked.
"I don't think she was little in any way if she was able to do so much damage," Xun pointed at the wall, which had around a two-meter deep mark.
"Two meter long claws. I think you can imagine," she added. "You might think Little Snow is a kid, but you're literally carrying the most explosive weapon in the world. And another expensive weapon is soon going to be after you to kill you and Little Snow."
"Then we just need to find the Phoenix. I'm sure you already have a clue where to find it, don't you?" Long Chen asked.
"I have some Ideas. I know of a place that might have Spiritual Fruits. It's the Garden of... That aside, you think it would be a good idea to just go after it? Even if it's weaker than it was at its peak, it's still an Ancient Beast. Even if it's at half its strength, it'll be too much for you to handle."
"What do you suggest? I should wait until it grows even more? I do think I'll be growing faster than it at any rate. As for Little Snow, she's still a kid. She might be getting strong, but she should be much behind. If I let it be, it'll be a bigger headache in the future."
"I can't wait when it comes to this. Moreover, Maybe I'll be able to tame it?"
"You think you can tame an Ancestral Beast?"
"I tamed Little Snow," Long Chen suggested.
"You tamed a newborn baby who was still in the egg," Xun retorted.
"Still, my bloodline might be able to tame it."
"You think an Ancient Beast won't have a similar bloodline? I don't think it works like that. And if you want to go to it, you must make a better plan than thinking you could tame it!"
