The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

2272 Divine Master

Chu Liuyue’s heart tingled.

This was the end of the Star Path. Further ahead was the magnificent and sacred Fantasy Divine Hall.

Other than that, there was only the continuous mountain range behind. They were clearly not going to the Fantasy Divine Hall.

Chu Liuyue hesitated for a moment and finally asked, “Seventh Deity, where are we going now?”

Jin Yunlai didn’t reply. “Phoenix Mountain.”

Chu Liuyue was dazed. “Phoenix Mountain? What kind of place is that?”

Jin Yunlai didn’t stop walking. “You’ll naturally know when we arrive.”

His voice was as cold as ever, as if he didn’t want to say more.

Chu Liuyue’s lips moved, but she swallowed the rest of her words. “Okay.”

…

Chu Liuyue continued to walk forward with Jin Yunlai. They were walking along the outer wall of Fantasy Divine Hall.

As it was still cold and cheerless, apart from the two of them, there was no one else on the wide road. After all, this was still within the range of the Fantasy Divine Hall.

After walking for a while, Jin Yunlai finally stopped.

In front of the two of them, there was a translucent barrier that blocked the path. A faint pressure exuded from it.

Even though Chu Liuyue was already a legendary warrior, she still felt a tightness in her chest when she stood here.

She frowned and became vigilant without batting an eye.

“This time, the Second Deity wants to see you. You have to think about what to say later,” Jin Yunlai finally turned to look at her and said calmly.

Chu Liuyue was shocked. “Second Deity?”

He was already the second-in-command among the deities. Even Jin Yunlai, Shu Jing, and the others had to treat him respectfully. However, such a person actually wanted to take the initiative to see her at this time?

In an instant, countless guesses flashed across Chu Liuyue’s heart, but she still looked calm. “Thank you for your guidance, Seventh Deity.”

Jin Yunlai saw that she was still neither servile nor overbearing. She was calm and composed as she nodded.

Apart from the lack of a bloodline totem, Chu Liuyue’s other performances were flawless.

Chu Liuyue found it weird. “Isn’t the Seventh Deity coming along?”

Jin Yunlai narrowed his eyes. “This is Phoenix Mountain, adjacent to the Fantasy Divine Hall. It’s also one of the forbidden areas of the entire Fantasy Divine Palace. Ordinary people aren’t allowed to enter.”

Not even him.

Chu Liuyue looked enlightened, but she secretly clicked her tongue in her heart. So behind this is the forbidden area that Jin Yunlai had mentioned before. However, he also said that it’s one of the forbidden areas… There are quite a number of forbidden areas in Fantasy Divine Palace.

She put her thoughts away and walked forward.

With a step, her figure disappeared behind the barrier.

Seeing her enter, Jin Yunlai frowned slightly and was silent for a long time. He had always felt that it wasn’t appropriate for Yu Qian to choose this place to meet Chu Liuyue.

However, Yu Qian was the Second Deity after all. He had an extremely strong say in the current Fantasy Divine Palace, especially now that the First Deity was in seclusion. Many matters had fallen into the hands of the Second Deity.

Jin Yunlai suddenly remembered what Shu Jing had said previously. The Heaven Gate has already opened. Logically speaking, the First Deity should indeed come out…

Deep in thought, he pondered for a long time before turning to leave.

…

This time, Chu Liuyue passed through the barrier and came inside.

She stood still and looked forward. Then, she was stunned.

In front of her was a steep and tall mountain, but there wasn’t a single blade of grass on this mountain. It was only charred and bare; it looked like it had just experienced a fire.

Even the area at the foot of the mountain was barren and lifeless.

Standing here and looking at this scene, she seemed to be able to smell a faint burning aura in the air. But when she looked carefully, she realized that many of the stones on the mountain had already been polished to show signs of age.

Even if something had really happened here, it doesn’t seem to be recent.

She suddenly thought of something and looked back.

The magnificent Fantasy Divine Hall was behind her, but a translucent barrier fell from the sky, separating Fantasy Divine Hall from this place, as if they were two different worlds.

In an instant, she understood something—this so-called Phoenix Mountain was actually the back mountain of Fantasy Divine Hall!

The rumors she had previously heard surfaced in her mind suddenly. Yeah, Xiao Ran once said that tens of thousands of years ago, Fantasy Divine Hall had experienced a huge fire that almost burned down half of the hall. The current Fantasy Divine Hall took a thousand years to repair. It was also that time that the red-gold heavenly phoenix ancestor, who was the legendary fiend guarding the hall, defected from Fantasy Divine Hall. From then on, it implicated the entire race and became a sinner!

Could it be that this Phoenix Mountain is also…

“It seems like you’re quite interested in the Fantasy Divine Hall.” A gentle and young voice suddenly sounded.

Chu Liuyue turned around and saw a person coming from the scorched Phoenix Mountain.

He was very fast and arrived in front of Chu Liuyue in a few seconds. When he arrived, there was no energy fluctuation around him!

Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. This person’s strength is definitely above that of a legendary warrior!

She quickly sized the man up.

He looked to be in his twenties, and he was handsome and gentle. It was really difficult to imagine that he was the Second Deity who controlled the lives of countless people!

At this moment, Yu Qian was also looking at her. A very faint wave flashed across his eyes.

“Greetings, Second Deity.” Chu Liuyue lowered her head and bowed respectfully.

Yu Qian came back to his senses and smiled slowly. “I asked you to come over today because I have something to tell you.”

He raised his hand and pointed at the Phoenix Mountain behind him. “Do you know where this is?”

Chu Liuyue was dazed. Isn’t this Phoenix Mountain? What else could it be?

As if reading her mind, Yu Qian smiled and said, “In the past, the Divine Master’s legendary fiend, the red-gold heavenly phoenix, was raised here.”
