"Change my clothes. I want to go to the Vermillion Bird Tower to worship my ancestors in person!" Zhu Yu ordered with a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, you have just taken thousand-year-old snow ginseng. You need to rest for a while and not overwork." The attendant hurriedly dissuaded him.
"No need to say more! I have made up my mind, go now!"
Zhu Yu's voice was filled with unquestionable firmness. This was the most exciting moment in his life, how could he miss it?
The attendant did not dare to disobey, and immediately went to change clothes for Fenghuang and prepare to go to Suzaku Tower to worship their ancestors.
Supported by his attendants, Zhu Yu walked towards the Suzaku Tower step by step.
Although his steps were a little unsteady, each step was extremely firm and his eyes were shining with excitement.
When he was still a mile away from the Vermillion Bird Tower, he suddenly stopped and turned back to say to his attendants, "Pass the order down and bring the newly born Fire Phoenix eggs here tomorrow. I want to raise them myself!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the attendant replied.
Zhu Yu took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then took a step forward and continued forward.
In the Phoenix Capital, the Vermillion Bird Tower is an extremely sacred place.
The tower is nine stories high and is made entirely of a divine fire called "Suzaku Flame Crystal". The entire tower exudes a scorching heat, with red flames flowing through the tower body, like a burning fireball.
On the top of the tower is a huge statue of Vermillion Bird, which is a statue of Xiyue, the ancestor of the Phoenix clan. It is a treasure passed down by the Phoenix clan for thousands of years and possesses mysterious power.
At this time, countless members of the Phoenix Clan had gathered in front of the Vermillion Bird Tower, and they were all waiting for the Phoenix Emperor to come and offer ancestor worship.
When Zhu Yu arrived at the Vermillion Bird Tower with the help of his attendants, countless divine thoughts were transmitted to him, all of which were messages of congratulations.
"Long live His Majesty! The Phoenix Clan finally has a successor!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on receiving the bloodline of the Phoenix Emperor!"
"The birth of the Phoenix Queen's descendants is a great blessing for our Phoenix Clan!"
……
Zhu Yu looked solemn as he stepped onto the stairs one step at a time under everyone's gaze. Each step was accompanied by a slight sound that echoed in the square.
He came to the top of the tower, knelt down devoutly in front of the statue, bowed three times, then stood up and bowed deeply to the statue:
"Ancestors, I am an incompetent Phoenix Emperor Zhu Yu. I inherited the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan but was unable to continue to revitalize our clan, causing our clan to wither to this point!"
"Now that the Fire Phoenix has descended upon the world, the Phoenix Clan can finally have hope of revival!"
"Zhu Yu will definitely do his best to train the new Phoenix Heir to grow and develop, to continue the bloodline of our clan and bring glory to our family!"
The tribesmen in the square were all moved when they heard Feng Huang's oath.
Ever since the Phoenix Clan's sacred object, the Phoenix Blood Stone, was accidentally lost in a war eight hundred years ago, no more Fire Phoenixes have been born in the Phoenix Clan. The bloodline power has become increasingly weak, the number of clan members has become increasingly smaller, and the clan has gradually lost its former glory.
Now that the Fire Phoenix has been born, there is hope for the Phoenix Clan to revive. This is the hope of all members of the clan.
At this moment, Zhu Yu felt more relaxed than ever before. The heart disease that had troubled him for many years finally had hope of being solved, and he finally saw the future of the Phoenix Clan.
After the ancestor worship ceremony, Zhu Yu returned to Qiwu Palace with the help of his attendants.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he anxiously ordered: "Gather all the court officials and elders tomorrow to discuss the Phoenix Clan's major affairs!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the attendant replied.
Zhu Yu was lying on the sickbed, feeling happy, and the pain he had suffered in recent days seemed to have been alleviated a lot.
He looked at the bright moon outside the window, with a determined light in his eyes.
That night, the entire Fengdu was brightly lit, and the tribesmen were so excited that they could not sleep all night. The Feng tribe finally had hope of revival and rise.
Early the next morning, all the officials and elders of the Phoenix Clan gathered in the court.
Zhu Yu sat upright on the phoenix chair. Although his face was a little pale, he was in good spirits and his eyes were bright.
He looked around at everyone with satisfaction and said excitedly: "Today is a great day for my Phoenix Clan. I am very happy!"
"Where's the newborn Fire Phoenix egg? Hurry and bring it out for me to see!"
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment, there was silence in the court.
Zhu Yu frowned slightly, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
Just as he was about to get angry, the Phoenix Clan's High Priest Qing Xuan came out and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, something is fishy. After the ancestral temple issued the divine order yesterday, I began to divine the whereabouts of the Fire Phoenix, but there was no trace of it."
"What?!" Zhu Yu stood up suddenly and his face changed drastically.
"How is this possible? Could the Fire Phoenix just disappear out of thin air?"
Qing Xuan said bitterly: "After my divination, I found that the Fire Phoenix was not born in Fengdu, but landed in a corner of my Qiwu country."
Zhu Yu's face turned pale, and the joy in his heart disappeared in an instant.
"How could this happen? Wasn't the Fire Phoenix already born? Why did it suddenly disappear?"
"This... I don't know either, but the will of God must be correct. The Fire Phoenix must have been born, but his aura has been hidden for some reason, and we can't sense his existence."
Zhu Yu's face was terribly gloomy, and the Phoenix mark on his chest began to burn again, causing him to gasp in pain.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The servant beside him hurriedly supported him.
Zhu Yu waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"Purple Phoenix, White Phoenix, Golden Phoenix and Green Phoenix, do your clans have any news about the Fire Phoenix?" Zhu Yu looked around at the several great elders of the Phoenix clan branch in the court and asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, my Purple Phoenix clan has four states, twenty-five cities, one hundred and eighty-four mountains, and countless people, but I have never heard of the news of the birth of a fire phoenix."
"Your Majesty, my White Phoenix lineage has also not received any news of the Fire Phoenix's arrival."
"Your Majesty, the Golden Phoenix lineage has many members, spread all over the place, but as far as I know, there is no news of the Fire Phoenix descending into the world."
"Your Majesty, although the Qingfeng lineage has fewer members, they have always strictly abided by the rules of the Phoenix Clan. If a fire phoenix is born, it must be reported to the court. But as far as I know, the Qingfeng lineage also has no news of the birth of a fire phoenix."
The four great elders shook their heads one after another, indicating that their lineage had no news of the birth of the Fire Phoenix.
Zhu Yu felt a chill in his heart. The birth of the Fire Phoenix had been his hope, but now it had become a false joy.
"Your Majesty, the last direction I divined yesterday was where the Fire Phoenix disappeared, south of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range." Qing Xuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the results of his divination.
"South of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range?" Zhu Yu frowned, "Where is that?"
"Your Majesty, that is the territory of my Bai Feng lineage." Bai Muyun, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and said with a bow.
"But may I ask, priest, are the results of your divination accurate?" Bai Muyun looked at Qingxuan, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
After all, the Hundred Beasts Mountain range is mostly inhabited by other monsters. Although their Bai Feng lineage is responsible for that area, in fact only a small number of clansmen live on the edge of Yunmengze south of the Hundred Beasts Mountain.
Moreover, the advent of the Fire Phoenix was such a big event, how could he not have received any news about it?
Qing Xuan nodded: "Although the breath of the Fire Phoenix is obscured by some mysterious power, the direction of my divination should not be wrong. The last place where the Fire Phoenix disappeared was indeed south of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range."
"Your Majesty, since the Fire Phoenix was born in the White Phoenix's territory, I will go and look for it myself!"
A gleam of approval flashed in Zhu Yu's eyes.
He knew very well that Bai Muyun was a leader among the younger generation of the Phoenix Clan. Not only was he powerful, but he was also meticulous. It would be most appropriate for him to go in person to look for the Fire Phoenix.
"Okay, Muyun, I will let the high priest go with you and help you find the whereabouts of the Fire Phoenix. Remember, the Fire Phoenix is related to the future of our Phoenix clan. You must be careful and don't make any mistakes!" Zhu Yu solemnly instructed.
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's trust!" Bai Muyun bowed and accepted the order.
Qing Xuan also stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Yu: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best to help Master Bai find the Fire Phoenix."
Zhu Yu nodded, his eyes swept across the court, and he said in a deep voice: "The birth of the Fire Phoenix is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Phoenix Clan. No one is allowed to leak the slightest news! Violators will be punished according to the clan rules!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" everyone responded in unison.
Zhu Yu knew that once the news of the Fire Phoenix leaked out, it would inevitably arouse the covetousness and competition of other races, and the Phoenix Clan would then face an unprecedented crisis.
Therefore, he had to keep the news strictly secret and secretly look for the whereabouts of Fire Phoenix, and then make plans after finding Fire Phoenix.
