What Yaohua didn't know was that the system was extremely excited after sensing her thoughts.
This dream wasn't created by the Phoenix Ancestor. Instead, after hearing Yaohua's prayer, the system secretly constructed it, waiting for Yaohua to take the bait.
It quickly said, "Host, as long as you let me collect enough demonic qi, I can help you reach the pinnacle of life just like in the illusion."
Its words diluted Yaohua's melancholy, but instead, a hint of suspicion welled up in her heart. "Is the Nirvana Flower in the dream real?"
The system replied confidently, "Of course! As long as I absorb enough demonic qi, I can plant this rare and miraculous flower. By then, after you break through, you will become the most powerful person in the Three Realms and have everything you want!"
Yaohua was a bit tempted. "You mean you have the seeds of the Nirvana Flower? How about giving me one now so I can try to cultivate it?"
The system blurted out, "That's out of the question! What if you get the flower and then stop helping me collect demonic qi? What should I do then?"
"You don't trust me?" Yaohua deliberately showed a sad and disappointed expression.
The system stammered, "Host, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that only I can plant the Nirvana Flower, and there's only one seed. If it's accidentally ruined during the planting, it'll be a disaster."
Yaohua reluctantly accepted this explanation. "I remember that the system can't enter the memory secret realm. Why did you manage to get in this time?"
The system pretended to be confused. "Really? Maybe it's because my power has grown stronger, so I can follow you in."
This seemed reasonable, and since the Ancestor never lied, Yaohua thought so and didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, her heart was filled with excitement.
She couldn't wait to go out and tell Chongming the good news.
Just then, there was a cracking sound. She quickly looked over and saw that the statue of the Ancestor suddenly shattered.
Yaohua held the Ancestor in great awe and naturally couldn't bear to see the statue damaged. As she stepped forward to repair it, she was once again pulled into a dream.
At the same time, on Danyaoshan, Chongming, who was struggling against the demonic qi, frowned. Unusual spiritual power fluctuations surged around him, and he too was pulled into the dream.
He looked around. Seeing only a vast expanse of white, he couldn't help but feel vigilant. Just then, he heard a familiar voice.
"Master?" Yaohua called uncertainly.
Chongming walked towards her, but she subconsciously took a step back, worried that the figure in front of her was just an illusion.
Chongming stopped and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Chongming wasn't as affectionate towards her as in the dream, Yaohua knew that the person in front of her was his real self, not an illusion created by the dream.
She felt a mix of joy and regret.
Chongming waved his hand in front of her eyes, and she finally came to her senses. She told him the reason she'd ended up here.
Chongming pondered. "So, this is a memory dream created by the Ancestor."
At this moment, the white mist dispersed, and a tomb appeared in front of them. The tomb was completely red, built with spiritual crystal stones.
In the distance, the voice of the Ancestor sounded. "Yaohua, you've finally come."
"You know my name?" Yaohua asked in surprise.
The voice didn't answer but slowly said, "Since you're here, bury my remains."
Yaohua asked in confusion, "Ancestor, where are your remains?"
But the voice kept repeating these two instructions and didn't respond to their questions.
Just as they were puzzled, the system explained, "Host, that small bone you picked up in Henan Mansion is the remains of the Phoenix Ancestor!"
Chongming couldn't hear the system's voice. He mused, "How about we search the tomb to see where the remains are."
Yaohua quickly said, "I remember where the remains are!"
She took out the bone and was about to put it into the coffin when Chongming suddenly stopped her. "This is just a dream. Even if we put the bone in, it probably won't count."
Yaohua immediately put the bone away.
The system urged, "Host, don't listen to Chongming. Hurry up and put the bone into the tomb. Only then can you obtain the complete inheritance of the Ancestor!"
Yaohua agreed with it in her heart but didn't actually take the action of putting the bone in.
The system was helpless and couldn't help but feel a bit more disdain for Chongming. This dream was specially constructed for Yaohua. It had pulled Chongming in to gain Yaohua's trust, but who would have thought that Chongming would ruin its good deed!
At this moment, the space was once again shrouded in white mist. When the mist dispersed, Chongming had disappeared from Yaohua's sight.
"Master?" She called tentatively, but all she heard was the echo from the tomb.
Just as she was about to go look for Chongming, the voice of the Phoenix Ancestor sounded again. "He's gone to another place for a test, and you also need to take a test."
"May I ask, Ancestor, what test is Chongming taking?" Yaohua asked very respectfully.
The Ancestor said indifferently, "Fate is mysterious. He has his own opportunities. You don't need to ask more."
Since she had once received the Ancestor's inheritance, Yaohua trusted the Ancestor's words very much and didn't ask any more questions.
"Next, your trial will begin." The Ancestor said sternly.
"Wait." Yaohua suddenly asked, "Does the Ancestor have any good ways to deal with the Heavenly Demon Seed?"
The Ancestor answered without hesitation, "The Phoenix Spiritual Light is naturally able to restrain the Heavenly Demon. Only through the method of dual cultivation can your spiritual light suppress the Heavenly Demon Seed!"
Yaohua thought for a while but still had doubts in her heart. If the Phoenix Spiritual Light was really that powerful, why was she tortured so much when she had the Heavenly Demon Seed?
Was this method of dual cultivation really useful?
She wanted to ask more, but the Ancestor waved his hand. The scenery around them changed, and the trial officially began.
The place where the coffin had originally been was empty, revealing a dark passage with the Phoenix character for "soldier" written on it.
As soon as Yaohua walked in, she heard deafening battle cries. She saw the celestial soldiers fighting desperately with the demons. A five - foot - long broadsword slashed towards her. She narrowly dodged it, killed the attacking demon, and then threw herself into the battle.
After fighting for who knew how many years, she gradually forgot the purpose of her coming here, and her mind was completely filled with killing intent.
The demon corpses on the battlefield piled up like mountains, all killed by her. At this moment, the system suddenly gave a prompt. "Host, wake up quickly. You've passed the test!"
Yaohua finally came to her senses. She saw that all the demons around had disappeared, and a large door appeared in front of her. The plaque on the door said "wealth".
She entered the door of greed. What greeted her eyes were countless gold and silver treasures. There were peerless talismans, pills, weapons, and cultivation techniques in the cabinets on all sides. Just taking one of them would be enough to establish her own sect.
She walked past these cabinets without even glancing at them. A new door appeared in front of her, with the character "love" written on it.
