Chapter 225: Lost Phoenix Valley
Each floor of the tower was like its own separate world. As one went deeper inside, the separate worlds became increasingly vast.
The seventh floor of the tower was a mountain that hovered in the sky countless meters above the ground. When looking downward, one could only see a boundless sea of clouds like a big white dragon tumbling around.
This mountain stretched for nine thousand miles. Dangerous steep peaks drilled into the blue sky. Cypress trees as big as dragons grew on this land of straight precipices as if they were about to fall into the sea of clouds and down into the mortal world.
In the far distance, a thin layer of mist bathed a particular spiritual peak. White cranes around three feet tall soared into the sky and dived down into the lush vegetation on the peak.
This was a scene in the land of the immortals; it was as if this mountain was from another world.
Feng Feiyun followed the girl in black walking through this peak. Along the way, they found several ancient traces of life. An old, rusting greatsword could be found pierced in a cliff. There were extremely gigantic chess boards suspended above the peak. All of this made it too clear; this used to be a place for cultivation, but it has now become deserted.
The girl in black entered a desolate valley full of dense fog and rich worldly energy, making it seem as if this was the secret dwelling of a deity.
The girl became much more cautious after entering, and her pace slowed down by quite a bit as well. Feng Feiyun also felt that there was a vast yet faint aura inside, an aura that carried a trace of harshness as if they were entering a land of the dead.
“Whoosh!” A weeping gust came from within the valley as if it was the cry of a beast.
Feng Feiyun quietly gasped and suddenly stopped. The wind blew away a layer of mud on the ground to reveal a piece of crimson bone the size of a palm.
This bone was as red as blood and had a thin layer of light flowing on the outside. Upon closer inspection, it was as tough as a divine stone.
Although it was only protruding a bit above ground, the aura erupted from it was extremely hot, causing the surrounding temperature to slowly rise.
