With a quick step, Xu Chuan directly took the Phoenix Seal into his hand.
Perhaps because the owner was already dead, or perhaps because Xu Chuan had helped Feng Zu find release, the Phoenix Seal was held by Xu Chuan without any resistance, behaving very meekly.
After repeatedly checking and confirming there were no issues, Xu Chuan began to boldly acknowledge it as his own.
This Phoenix Seal had no rank and no inherent power.
It seemed more like a symbol of status and authority.
Possessing the Phoenix Seal meant having dominion over the entire Phoenix Clan, and even the entire Undying Volcano!
Everyone would show utmost respect to the holder, following their every command!
Effortlessly, Xu Chuan gained complete control of the Phoenix Seal.
The moment he controlled the Phoenix Seal, Xu Chuan could feel the dominion over the entire Undying Volcano falling into his hands!
Whether it was the mountain-protecting array or various secret realms and treasure troves.
As long as Xu Chuan willed it, he could enter them at any time.
Furthermore, Xu Chuan felt that the destiny of the Phoenix Clan and the Undying Volcano was now linked to him.
Xu Chuan, in this moment, possessed the destiny of a major power!
Even more impressive was that Xu Chuan could use the Phoenix Seal to restrict any clan member cultivating the Undying Volcano's legacy!
If anyone acted against him, Xu Chuan could even directly use the Phoenix Seal to strip their martial cultivation!
"This thing is too overpowered!"
Feeling the benefits brought by the Phoenix Seal, Xu Chuan exclaimed excitedly.
Its utility far exceeded Xu Chuan's expectations!
Although it wasn't a powerful magical artifact, these effects made it no less valuable than any magical artifact Xu Chuan currently possessed!
No wonder Feng Hao, that reborn Emperor Venerable, had set his sights on this item the moment he was reborn.
It was entirely due to its incredibly overpowered effects!
At the same time, in the outside world, within the Phoenix Valley, in the Phoenix Grand Hall.
Feng Sheng's eyes suddenly snapped open!
"The Phoenix Seal, lost for so many years, has surprisingly reappeared!"
He spoke with a grave expression, watching an invisible stream of destiny flowing towards a certain location in the sky.
Whether the reappearance of this Phoenix Seal was a good or bad omen for his Phoenix Clan and the Undying Volcano, he couldn't easily determine.
If it were to fall into the hands of an unparalleled prodigy, then his Undying Volcano had a high chance of advancing further!
But if it were to be controlled by someone with ulterior motives, then his Undying Volcano might very well fall into a place of no return!
However, at present, the person holding the Phoenix Seal had not revealed themselves. He didn't know where they were or what kind of person they were, so he couldn't do anything.
"Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time!"
After much deliberation, Feng Sheng shook his head, deciding to put the matter aside for now.
Since it had already happened, pursuing it further was meaningless.
When the person holding the Phoenix Seal eventually appeared, he would test them thoroughly.
If they couldn't pass his trial, then even if he had to risk his old life, he would snatch the Phoenix Seal back!
He absolutely would not allow the Undying Volcano and the Phoenix Clan to fall into the hands of someone with malicious intent!
...
Xu Chuan was unaware of everything happening in the outside world.
He was still delighted about obtaining the Phoenix Seal!
Just then, Xuan Lie suddenly emerged from behind, his mouth watering at the sight of the Golden Crow Egg before him!
"Kid Xu, what kind of egg is this? It looks so delicious?"
The moment he saw the Golden Crow Egg, an uncontrollable hunger surged within him.
He wanted to devour the entire Golden Crow Egg.
But without Xu Chuan's permission, he could only suppress the impulse.
"You absolutely cannot eat this!"
"I have a great use for it!"
Xu Chuan was startled by Xuan Lie's appearance and quickly said.
At this moment, Xuan Lie looked like someone who had been starving for a long time and had just seen a grand feast, his eyes glowing green, saliva dripping.
This clearly showed how enticing the Golden Crow Egg was to him!
Xu Chuan, after a moment of thought, understood the reason.
Xuan Lie was a demonic beast himself, and the instinct of demonic beasts was to devour other demonic beasts to strengthen their foundation and cultivation.
And the Golden Crow Egg before him contained the foundation of an Emperor Venerable.
For Xuan Lie, who was at the peak of the Heavenly King realm, it was undoubtedly a delicious morsel!
It was no wonder he was drooling!
If it weren't for Xu Chuan blocking the way.
If it were anyone else, Xuan Lie would probably have swallowed both the person and the egg!
"Don't be so stingy. I think this thing would make an amazing fried egg!"
As Xuan Lie spoke, his drool increased.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan knew he had to move the Golden Crow Egg, or it would truly be eaten by Xuan Lie!
So he quickly stored the Golden Crow Egg, along with the scant primordial sun essence here, into the inner world he had just opened.
The inner world contained the primordial sun essence that had not been absorbed before, and with the World Tree continuously converting chaotic energy,
It would not only continue to increase the foundation of the Golden Crow Egg but also greatly speed up its hatching!
Moreover, with the Golden Crow Egg hatching within Xu Chuan's inner world, its recognition and dependence on Xu Chuan would increase!
He believed that soon, Xu Chuan would have a little follower with Emperor Venerable potential!
Seeing Xu Chuan take away the Golden Crow Egg, Xuan Lie looked disappointed and couldn't help but grumble, "Kid Xu, you're too stingy. It's just an egg, isn't it?"
"This is no ordinary egg!"
Xu Chuan explained.
If this thing were to be known outside, it would cause a mad scramble!
Anyone who knew the truth would not let this Golden Crow Egg go!
Xu Chuan was certain that even a Half-Emperor expert would try to snatch it!
"Let's go. If there's any more next time, I'll definitely save some for you!"
Xu Chuan promised.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Lie's expression improved slightly.
"You've got a deal then!"
"Definitely!"
Xu Chuan was not someone who would forget favors. Xuan Lie had helped him so much, and he deserved some benefits.
And the very instant Xu Chuan collected the Golden Crow Egg.
In the palace of the Great Desolation Dynasty, Huang Xingyue suddenly felt a pang in her heart. Her hand slipped, and a batch of pills that was about to be successfully refined was ruined, even causing the pill furnace to explode.
However, she paid no mind to this and frowned.
"What happened?"
Just in that moment, she felt something very important slipping away from her, which caused her to lose control and blow up the furnace.
She didn't doubt that her senses were mistaken.
Having cultivated to her current level, her every sensation was incredibly accurate and intimately connected to herself, making errors impossible!
This situation could only mean that something belonging to her had truly been lost.
But she thought back on recent events and couldn't figure out how this could have happened.
After thinking for a long time without finding an answer, she lost interest in continuing her alchemy.
She then left the alchemy hall and began attending to the affairs of the court.
During this period, she had been focused on alchemy, and the management of the Great Desolation Dynasty had been entirely handed over to her trusted maidservants.
