"Enlightenment."

Returning the Phoenix Emperor Feather in his hand to Qi Xiu, Xu Zhitian uttered a word that surprised Qi Xiu.

"Enlightenment?"

With a hint of astonishment in his eyes, Qi Xiu thought about it and found it reasonable.

This Phoenix Emperor Feather was initially part of the Phoenix Emperor Heritage, the divine marvel of rebirth through flame was merely this divine object's own effect.

Being an object of heritage, it ought to have the effect of Taoist methods inheritance.

"But how exactly to use this object for enlightenment, the old man is not too clear, only heard that young friend inadvertently mention it once."

"Young friend? Is it that Immortal?" Qi Xiu's expression slightly changed.

"Yes, this guy's battle power is overwhelming, his talent unparalleled, yet his knowledge is frighteningly profound, knowing many ancient tales and secret affairs clearly.

Even many ancient secrets, he knows them better than the old man, I must say." Speaking of Li Zhexian, Xu Zhitian marvels.

It seems that any strange occurrence happening to him is not surprising.

"In that case, this object must be well preserved, and only after finding the way to enlightenment can it be used completely." Flipping through the Phoenix Emperor Feather in his hand, Qi Xiu pursed his lips.

Before knowing this divine object's property, he only regarded it as a Resurrection Coin.

But now understanding it also has the effect of enlightenment, naturally it cannot be used lightly.

After all, this is the heritage of the Phoenix Clan, which, in comparison, is rarer than the True Dragon Inheritance in his hand.

Things are valuable because they are rare.

Just as Qi Xiu and Xu Zhitian were chatting about where to find the method to invoke the enlightenment of Phoenix Emperor Feather, a streak of rainbow light suddenly sped from afar, swiftly piercing through Shenxiao Sect's layers of prohibitions, bypassing the interception of several Yun Generation Elders, directly heading toward this sect's grand hall.

"Presumptuous! Who dares forcibly enter my Shenxiao Sect!"

"Initiate formation! Initiate formation! Block this scoundrel!"

The angry shout of the Yun Generation Elders resonated through the wilderness, yet the rainbow light was indifferent, in the blink of an eye reaching before the grand hall door.

Just as he was about to break through the hall gate and enter within.

Clang—

With a heavy thud accompanied by ripples spreading out, a treasure mirror as clear as glass, with ancient Dao principles, mountain birds, fish insects, sun moon stars floating on its surface, slowly emerged.

"Wanli Shenxing Sect? Without a word, forcibly breaking into this sect's important place, do you intend to declare war on my Shenxiao Sect?"

Above the hall steps, Qi Xiu, hands gathered in his sleeves, walked out leisurely, looking down at the figure trapped by Haotian Mirror's Light, gradually revealing true form.

"Elder calm your anger... Alliance secret message... Please... Nine Heavens True Venerable open it personally."

Struggling to lift his right hand, emaciated in form, head wrapped in a long scarf, legs covered with mystical Divine Armor, the Wanli Shenxing Sect cultivator promptly spoke.

"Alliance secret message?"

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Qi Xiu did not release him just by his words, with a large gesture, several Suppressing Talismans appeared out of thin air, instantly wrapping this person tightly from head to toe, an extremely domineering suppressive force thoroughly immobilizing him like a stone.

At this moment, the Yun Generation Elders who had just attempted interception but were unsuccessful also arrived.

"Vice Sect Leader."

Seeing Qi Xiu had already restrained this man, the elders collectively breathed a sigh of relief; had this man broke into the Sect Master Hall unimpeded, then Shenxiao Sect's reputation would have suffered greatly.

"Forcing entry into this sect's Mountain Gate, regardless of reason, first seal the Ancestral Aperture, and you'd better wear a spinal cord." Presiding over the Punishment Court, responsible for internal security, Daoist Yun Heng's expression was grim, immediately wanting to waste this Wanli Shenxing Sect cultivator.

Just when Qi Xiu pondered how to deal with this person, the Sect Master Hall behind him resounded with the voice of Dongfang Qing.

"Bring him in, he carries the Dao Alliance's Magic Letter, must be something urgent."

Hearing Dongfang Qing say so, Qi Xiu nodded slowly, then with a flick of his sleeve, captured the Wanli Shenxing Sect cultivator wrapped in Suppressing Talismans into his palm.

"You all may return."

Dispatching the Yun Generation Elders who had rushed over, Qi Xiu pushed the door and entered the grand hall.

Seeing the Dao Alliance messenger bundled up in Cloud Seal Talismans, Dongfang Qing chuckled and motioned Qi Xiu to release him.

"These individuals are selected by the Dao Alliance from within Wanli Shenxing Sect, designated to dispatch the Dao Alliance's Magic Letter, covered in Dao Alliance enhanced Divine Armor, no prohibition or Dharma Gate of any Dao Alliance member sect can hinder them.

This is to prevent emergencies where the magic letter can't be timely delivered to the recipient.

Though merely messengers, they handle Dao Alliance's matters, representing Dao Alliance's dignity, so these individuals are accustomed to indulgence.

Most ancient sect nobility cannot and dare not stop them.

But today they fell into your hands."

"No wonder, turns out it's an Imperial Mission." Hearing Dongfang Qing's explanation, Qi Xiu revealed an understanding look, with a large gesture, the Suppressing Talismans on the Dao Alliance messenger slowly dissipated.

With the pressure gone, the messenger took big gulps of air; earlier, the feeling of having cultivation, soul, body, and even consciousness suppressed made him feel like a lamb stripped bare, only awaiting slaughter.

Now released, seeing the young Blue-robed Daoist who acted earlier standing beside him, the messenger's face turned pale, hurriedly pulled away.

Not until seeing Dongfang Qing before him, did he regain composure, draw a jade disc from his chest.

"Nine Heavens True Venerable, this is a secret message directly from the Sword Master, please open it personally."

"Thank you, messenger."

Receiving the jade disc, just as Dongfang Qing was about to open it, the messenger before him opened his mouth as if to speak but then fearfully glanced at Qi Xiu beside him.
