Chapter 980
The Feng Family's Secret Ground
Zhou Yi was very frank and straightforward, stating that he had come today for the inheritance of Emperor Fuxi, which immediately silenced Feng Huang.
Because where does the Feng family still have any inheritance from Emperor Fuxi? During the ancient times, the Feng family suffered a great calamity, losing both the imperial weapon and the imperial scripture. In the end, all that remained were a few broken steles and fragments of scriptures.
Therefore, faced with Zhou Yi's frankness, Feng Huang frowned slightly, hesitating to speak.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi's heart stirred slightly. He thought that his demand for the inheritance of Emperor Fuxi had put Feng Huang in a difficult position. Indeed, it was a bit much for him to come to someone's door and ask for their inheritance directly, especially since he was now a Quasi-Emperor and the strongest in the Feng family was only a Great Sage. This was indeed somewhat coercive.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Is the Feng family head in a difficult position? Of course, I'm not asking for the scriptures for nothing. As long as you give me the scriptures to study, I promise that if the Feng family ever has any trouble in the future, as long as I'm still alive, I will help the Feng family three times."
As he spoke, he reached out again, and instantly a white jade box appeared in his hand. Opening the white jade box, one could see leaves of all shapes and sizes laid out inside, including shapes of the sun, the moon, stars, and unicorns. That's right, these were the tea leaves that grew on the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.
Today, the Wudao Ancient Tea Tree grows in the Immortal Mountain, which has become the backyard of the Longevity Palace. Naturally, the tea leaves produced by the Wudao Ancient Tea Tree have become the private property of the Longevity Palace.
Zhou Yi was a member of the Hall of Longevity, working for Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity. Obtaining the tea leaves from the Ancient Tea Tree of Enlightenment was a simple matter for him.
The ancient tree tea leaves in this white jade box are thickly layered, containing at least several hundred tea leaves.
This is already quite a lot; a single tea leaf is priceless, and hundreds of tea leaves are even rarer.
The tea leaves from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree can help people achieve enlightenment and cultivate themselves. Although the effect weakens as the level of cultivation increases, these hundreds of tea leaves can still be transformed into a kind of family heritage, used to cultivate young prodigies for the Feng family in the future.
Zhou Yi looked at the tea leaves in the white jade box and smiled, "These are tea leaves from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree. They are a small token of my respect. I would like to ask the Feng family head to grant me permission to view the scriptures passed down by Emperor Fuxi!"
"This"
Phoenix looked at Zhou Yi, who was smiling, and then at the white jade box in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I have felt your sincerity, but it's not that I'm unwilling to grant your wish. It's just that I have no way to do so!"
Zhou Yi frowned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Phoenix pondered for a moment, then suddenly her gaze sharpened, as if she had made up her mind, and she sighed, "Fellow Daoist, please follow me! You will understand once you see it!"
After saying that, she turned and headed down to the Feng family's residence.
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and then followed.
The Feng family was also a great emperor family during the ancient times, and naturally it was incredibly vast, with magnificent palaces and countless formations everywhere. Among them were formations of saints, formations of great saints, and even some quasi-emperors.
What does this mean? It means that although the Feng family has not produced another Great Emperor in the past million years, it has produced Quasi-Emperors, Great Saints, and Saints. They all set up formations in the Feng family territory to protect the safety of the clan.
As Zhou Yi followed Feng Huang ahead, he looked around and nodded to himself, thinking to himself, "As expected of the oldest ancient family in the Northern Dipper Eastern Wilderness, even though they no longer have the imperial weapon, they still have some of their heritage."
They continued to penetrate deep into the Feng family compound until they reached the deepest secret area. Two or three contemporary sages of the Feng family guarded this secret area, and there was also an array that Zhou Yi could vaguely sense as a threat, shrouding the secret area.
Zhou Yi was immediately alarmed. He was now a Quasi-Emperor at the seventh level, and any formation that could make him feel threatened must undoubtedly be an Emperor Formation! There was actually an Emperor Formation deep within the Feng Family's secret realm! Even if it wasn't a complete Emperor Formation, it was probably incomplete. An incomplete Emperor Formation was still formidable; if it could unleash two or three tenths of its power, it would be enough to trap a Quasi-Emperor!
Zhou Yi stared intently at the secret place, then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
At this moment, the two or three Feng family saints guarding the secret place also bowed to Feng Huang and said, "Family Head!"
Phoenix nodded, then ordered, "Open the secret realm!"
"This"
The two or three sages hesitated for a moment, their gazes turning to Zhou Yi.
After all, Zhou Yi was an outsider. How could an outsider enter the Feng family's secret territory?
This secret place of the Feng family is no ordinary place; it is the foundation of the Feng family. In the ancient times, the Feng family's imperial weapon was located here to suppress the Feng family's foundation.
It can be said that, generally speaking, apart from the head of the Feng family, even ordinary high-ranking members of the Feng family are not qualified to enter this secret place, let alone an outsider like Zhou Yi.
But Phoenix said again with a very firm tone, "Open the secret place!"
The two or three Feng family saints glanced at the resolute Feng Huang, then at Zhou Yi, and finally gritted their teeth and nodded heavily, replying, "Yes, Patriarch!"
Then, the two or three sages of the Feng family cast spells one by one, and Bagua images appeared around their bodies, striking towards the secret place. Instantly, the secret place also revealed a Bagua formation, and a path into it appeared.
Phoenix gestured, "Fellow Daoist, please!"
Zhou Yi looked up at the incomplete Great Emperor's Eight Trigrams Formation, then at Feng Huang, pondered for a moment, and then stepped forward, entering that secret place.
This secret place of the Feng family is indeed shrouded in an incomplete Great Emperor Formation. Perhaps if it were to unleash its full power, it could indeed trap a Quasi-Emperor.
However, Zhou Yi did not believe that this formation could trap him, because he also cultivated the way of Bagua and Zhouyi, and he was confident that this kind of imperial formation with nearly all its power might not be able to trap him!
"Homeowner!"
"This"
The two or three sages from the Feng family became excited again when they saw Zhou Yi actually walk in.
Before they could say anything, Feng Huang raised her head and interrupted, "No need to say anything more, I know what I'm doing! I have my reasons for inviting him into the Feng family's secret area! You all stay here and guard it well, don't let anyone get close!"
After saying that, Fenghuang also entered the secret place. Then the incomplete formation flashed again, and the entrance slowly closed and disappeared.
The two or three sages of the Feng family exchanged glances, their brows furrowed, speechless.
This is the secret realm of the Feng family, the foundation of their power, and their last line of defense. For hundreds of thousands of years, no outsider has ever been able to enter. But today, an outsider has entered, and this outsider is a quasi-emperor. This makes them extremely uneasy! (End of Chapter)
