The first time they saw the Dragon and Phoenix Bone, the group felt a shiver rise from their hearts!
Majestic!
It was truly too majestic!
Before them was a golden dragon, coiling its body, coming from afar, like a mountain lying across their path!
The sheer size, the might, stirred an impulse in everyone who saw it to pay their respects.
Chu Yang noticed that standing in front of this giant dragon, they were... not even the size of its toenail.
This was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon!
With its two hind limbs tucked beneath, it raised its third claw, standing tall, its massive dragon head slightly tilted, gazing at a point above, with eyes still open, filled with a deep sense of surprise and fear.
As if it were alive.
Its whiskers and brows still intact.
Not a single scale on its body was damaged; it stood there completely intact before everyone.
In front of this golden dragon was a colorful phoenix, its feathers bright and vibrant, as if it were about to burst into flames. One of its front claws reached out and rested against the dragon's forelimb, its beautiful and majestic head tilted slightly, exuding an air of pride that looked down upon all beings, combined with a purity untouched by the world!
It was frozen in this pose!
The whole body was also spotless.
This was the result of the Xiao Clan's efforts over the past few days: removing all the stones and dirt to reveal the true appearance of the dragon and phoenix, pristine and untainted, but not a single feather could be taken away, which ended up being a free gift to Chu Yang and the others.
Ji Mo reached out, gently tugging on a phoenix feather, wanting to pull it off, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t detach it. His palm surprisingly became warm. When he finally let go, he realized he had been burned and had a blister!
“Damn!” Third Master Ji exclaimed. “This bird... it’s really amazing! Even dead, it’s this impressive!”
Rui Butong exploded in anger, jumping up furiously: “You’re the bird! How can you talk like that? This is a phoenix!”
Ji Mo snapped back, “Isn’t a phoenix a bird?”
Rui Butong retorted, “No! That’s the king of birds!”
“Isn’t the king of birds still a bird?” Rocky Luo chimed in.
Rui Butong was left speechless: “Get lost!”
Ao Xieyun added fuel to the fire: “What are you even talking to a bird for…”
As the argument escalated, Chu Yang shot them a glare: “Silence! Anyone who causes trouble again, we’ll all team up and beat them for a lifetime!”
This statement had a significant impact.
The quarreling group instantly closed their lips, silenced like cicadas in winter. Not even a peep dared escape their mouths.
In normal circumstances, “beat them for a lifetime” would likely just be a joke; however, since they were all part of the Nine Calamities, they might be together for countless eras; if Chu Yang genuinely said: “beat Ji Mo for a lifetime!”
Then, Ji Mo’s life would likely be ‘beaten’ away just like that…
Which of Ji Mo and the others wasn’t clever? They could all see the serious consequences immediately. They all promptly became obedient.
Chu Yang turned to Mo Tianji: “Tianji, what do you think?”
Mo Tianji took a breath and said, “The Nine Heavens Continent has many records about dragons and phoenixes. However... there has never been a record of a dragon and phoenix being able to coexist so harmoniously.”
Chu Yang nodded, deeply agreeing.
He truly didn't know what had happened at that time that could have caused a dragon and phoenix to die holding hands... not even a catastrophic event could produce such an outcome.
It seemed that this would remain an unsolved mystery.
Ji Mo suddenly had an idea: “What if... this dragon and phoenix were a couple?…”
Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong both shouted in anger: “Shut up! Can’t you tell both of them are males!”
Ji Mo immediately fell silent, while Rocky Luo leaned over and muttered, “Males can still…”
Before he could finish, Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong teamed up and knocked him to the ground.
