300. A Crazy Decision
300. A Crazy Decision
To glimpse the secrets of heaven, one must specifically choose the moment of day's transition between night and day. Xiao Yan, however, witnessed the sun and moon simultaneously appearing in the sky. Furthermore, the sun and moon seemed to have fallen into a state of stagnation, no longer moving at all—this was truly a celestial phenomenon!
At this moment, Mu Yaoyin also appeared above the Five Peaks of Tianluan in a flash. All the Tianluan clansmen learned of Mu Yaoyin's decision last night, and now Mu Yaoyin was on the minds of all the Tianluan clansmen! The last time the ancestor used the Phoenix Eye Heaven-Seeing Technique, he ended the battle with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and stopped the bloodshed and sacrifice. What will happen after this? What changes will occur in the Tianluan clan? Will they be able to regain their footing on the stage of the continent? These are the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Mu Yaoyin stood quietly in mid-air, gazing up at the vast and boundless starry sky. Although she had been blind for many years, for a top-tier expert like her, sight was no longer that important.
Her aura began to slowly coalesce, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavy with her power. She slowly raised her hands, drawing mysterious trajectories in the air, each movement seemingly containing the most profound laws of heaven and earth.
As Mu Yaoyin continued her movements, her previously lifeless eyes began to radiate an unusual light, slowly revealing a dazzling nine-colored hue. Mu Yaoyin's appearance was already quite beautiful, but the lack of sparkle in her eyes had always been a flaw. Now, with the nine-colored light emanating from her eyes, her beauty seemed somewhat ordinary and unremarkable.
Then, specks of azure light began to emerge from Mu Yaoyin's body. As the light flickered, azure-green feathers appeared on her body. Mu Yaoyin no longer maintained her human form, but transformed into her original form as a blue phoenix. At this moment, Mu Yaoyin's body swelled to over ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), and her increased size only made her more captivating. The curves of her phoenix form were perfectly proportioned. The phoenix trembled slightly, then transformed into a streak of azure light and began to soar through the sky.
The people of Mu Que were also somewhat moved as they looked at Mu Yaoyin in the sky. Everyone in the Tianluan Clan was eager to defeat the Tianyaohuang and truly become the overlord of the continent's sky! And because of the existence of their ancestor, they always believed that this day would come sooner or later!
After Mu Yaoyin flew by, the azure Dou Qi energy outlined a huge azure pattern, with a massive vertical eye emitting azure light at its center. As the pattern continued to take shape, Xiao Yan felt an indescribable divine might emanating from the sky! Xiao Yan couldn't help but use his Dou Qi to try and isolate himself, for peeking into the secrets of heaven was itself an act against the heavens! If even a mere spectator like Xiao Yan had to bear such pressure, then the pressure on Mu Yaoyin was unimaginable; the gains and the costs were mostly equal!
As Mu Yaoyin successfully completed the outline of the pattern, a beam of azure light burst forth from it, shooting straight into the sky and temporarily obscuring the brilliance of the sun and moon. The appearance of the azure light also made the sun and moon shine even brighter, and as the sun and moon changed, changes also began to occur within them.
The area in the middle, illuminated by the three lights simultaneously, suddenly became blurry and transparent! Looking down, Xiao Yan felt an immense pull emanating from it; the hazy area wasn't empty space, but rather shimmering with light. However, no matter how hard Xiao Yan tried, he couldn't make out what was inside.
Everyone else was in the same boat; no one could discern the contents beyond that area. The future, concealing profound secrets, was absolutely not something anyone could casually peek into. Mu Yaoyin also rushed towards that area, the nine-colored light in her eyes growing ever more dazzling and beautiful. If someone were to observe Mu Yaoyin at this moment, they would find that her eyes were as beautiful as an impeccable and unquestionable work of art!
Mu Yaoyin stared intently at that transparent area, where the future would unfold, and where her inner doubts could be answered!
What Mu Yaoyin was praying for in her heart was: What kind of future will the Tianluan Clan and Xiao Yan have?
The first thing Mu Yaoyin saw was Xiao Yan's towering figure. At first glance, Xiao Yan seemed to possess the power to support the heavens and earth, and Mu Yaoyin was startled by his imposing presence. Upon closer inspection, she saw that the scene was indeed in the Central Plains, with numerous flames of different colors floating around Xiao Yan, and many other beings opposite him…
The azure light emanating from Mu Yaoyin's body rapidly diminished and disappeared. Where the azure light faded, the beautiful feathers of the Heavenly Phoenix lost their luster and became utterly ordinary. The speed at which the azure light faded was almost measured in breaths.
Looking at Mu Yaoyin high in the sky, Mu Que frowned and asked Mu Xinyuan somewhat uncertainly, "Old Yuan, I seem to remember that it wasn't like that back then..."
"Not that fast!" Mu Xinyuan answered with certainty. They had personally witnessed the ancestor use the Phoenix Eye Sky-Gazing Technique twice, but they had come to the same conclusion: the blue light that used to represent the time for peering into heavenly secrets did not fade as quickly as it did today!
"Although Ancestor is indeed quite old, his strength has improved even more than before, so the problem can only be..." Mu Xinyuan said, turning his gaze to Xiao Yan. There were still things about Xiao Yan that they didn't know. Every time he thought Xiao Yan had reached his limit, it seemed that Xiao Yan was hiding much more than he knew.
In the blink of an eye, the blue light disappeared around Mu Yaoyin's head. With the light completely gone, Mu Yaoyin lost her chance to glimpse the future. And in that short time, what Mu Yaoyin saw was pitifully limited.
Mu Yaoyin was also internally screaming, "Hurry up!"
The fading blue light quickly reached Mu Yaoyin's eyes, and she felt the scene before her gradually blurring. Mu Yaoyin also opened her mouth and let out a cry that pierced the sky, and the nine colors in her eyes surged again, finally slowing down the fading of the light.
Although it slowed down, it eventually disappeared quickly. However, this time Mu Yaoyin did not continue to struggle. Instead, her body shrank continuously until it finally transformed back into human form.
At this moment, Mu Yaoyin's skin was so aged that it was almost unrecognizable. One glance revealed that Mu Yaoyin's vitality was fading away. However, unlike her aging body, Mu Yaoyin's temporarily clear eyes shone with excitement.
"Hey, Heavenly Phoenix Clan, listen to my command!"
"From this day forward, Xiao Yan is the Lord of the Heavenly Phoenix!"
"If our master ever needs us, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will serve us to the death!"
(300 chapters, 600,000 words, in one year. The platform has been giving me less and less this year, but the energy I've devoted to fanfiction hasn't decreased. Except for the end of last year when I couldn't handle work and didn't have a long break from updating, I've still been dedicated to keeping you entertained every day. More and more people are following my work, and now it seems that reaching 10,000 followers isn't impossible. I'm very excited and grateful for everyone's continued support. Without everyone's daily support, I wouldn't have the motivation to write here.)
Xiao Yan's story is a story of youth, and I hope that while I'm still young, I can write it even more brilliantly. I also hope that next September I can publish my 1.2 million-word autobiography.
