Chapter 2960: The Old Rule, an Eight-Two Split.

Xiao Fan followed the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace as he departed.

Soon, led by the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace, Xiao Fan passed through the guards of the Forbidden Land and arrived within its depths.

"This is the ancestral land of our Heavenly Phoenix Palace…" the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace said slowly, his voice laced with a smile.

In the future, Feng Liang would surely become the pillar that anchored the Heavenly Phoenix Realm… The Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace held this conviction in his heart.

If the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace knew that Feng Liang was actually Xiao Fan, he would likely be so enraged that he would vomit blood.

"Truly magnificent… Upon arriving here, this Junior feels his Bloodline churning, unable to suppress the urge to kneel and worship." Xiao Fan remarked in astonishment.

"Haha… Naturally, it is only natural… Very well, you may enter. You have one day to remain here; cultivate well. If your Opportunity is sufficient… the Phoenix Ancestor might bestow upon you an unimaginable Opportunity." The Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace laughed heartily.

The purer one's Phoenix Bloodline, the more pronounced the resonance upon reaching the ancestral land…

If one's Phoenix Opportunity is sufficient, one might well shock the world…

"Understood!" Xiao Fan cupped his fists.

Subsequently, the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace personally informed Xiao Fan of the rules within the Forbidden Land.

After entering the Forbidden Land, Xiao Fan was only permitted to go to the Phoenix Ancestor Hall. All other areas were strictly off-limits to him, and he was not allowed to set foot in them.

"Understood!" Xiao Fan nodded, agreeing to each of these rules.

The Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace nodded in satisfaction, saying nothing further…

After all, anyone from the Heavenly Phoenix Realm who reached the ancestral land would be filled with awe; who would dare to act recklessly here?!

One must know that even the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace himself had to behave with utmost propriety upon arriving at the ancestral land, fearing he might offend the spirit of the Phoenix Ancestor…

"Very well, you may stay." The Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace smiled before turning to leave.

"Understood!" Xiao Fan cupped his fists, respectfully seeing the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace off.

Once the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace had departed, Xiao Fan exhaled and grinned. "The plan went even more smoothly than I imagined."

Xiao Fan had originally assumed that sneaking into the ancestral land would require quite a bit of effort, but it turned out to be far too easy…

After the Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace left, Xiao Fan scanned his surroundings and discovered numerous Restrictions. These were extremely strict… not merely defensive, but also included alarm-triggering mechanisms.

Once Xiao Fan stepped into an area he was not supposed to, these Restrictions would immediately be triggered.

"Quite a few tricks up their sleeves… What a pity, though…" Xiao Fan muttered. With the Wanxiang Dao Patterns in his possession, these Restrictions were effectively non-existent to him.

The Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace could never have imagined that Xiao Fan had already snuck into the ancestral land, and that he possessed something as Heaven-Defying as the Wanxiang.

Xiao Fan let out a breath and connected with the Wanxiang. After causing it to manifest, he quietly broke through the surrounding Restrictions.

As for Xiao Fan himself, he headed straight for the Phoenix Ancestor Hall… eager to see what the Phoenix Ancestor looked like and to see if there were any benefits to be gained.

"So this is the Phoenix Ancestor Hall… Truly magnificent." Xiao Fan stepped inside and immediately felt a powerful suppressive force, all of which originated from the statue of the Phoenix Ancestor.

The statue was ten thousand zhang tall, its features majestic; even as a mere statue, it contained supreme Divine Might…

"A sense of submission… Hehehe… Keep dreaming." Xiao Fan muttered, staring coldly at the statue of the Phoenix Ancestor.

It was exuding a terrifying power, attempting to force him to kneel and submit.

But how could Xiao Fan ever submit?!

He was not from the Heavenly Phoenix Realm; why should he kneel to a statue?!

Was it even worthy?!

Within the statue of the Phoenix Ancestor resided a wisp of spiritual consciousness left behind by the Phoenix Ancestor during his lifetime… He naturally sensed the rich Phoenix aura on the person before him, which naturally pleased him, but the individual's rudeness and arrogance only served to anger him further.

Consequently, an even more terrifying aura began to spread from the statue of the Phoenix Ancestor.

"Boom." "Booming…"

"Hehehe… Others may fear you, but I certainly do not. Be careful, or if you anger me, I will destroy you." Xiao Fan said coldly.

The pressure from the Phoenix Ancestor weighing down on Xiao Fan vanished for an instant, only for an even more terrifying pressure to descend, attempting to force Xiao Fan to submit to it…

"Hey, you really think you're something, don't you…" Xiao Fan was instantly enraged.

He intended to take action and destroy the statue of the Phoenix Ancestor, erasing the wisp of spiritual consciousness that remained within it…

"Wait… hold on…" Just then, the voice of the star chart appeared in Xiao Fan's ear, immediately stopping him.

"What is it?" Xiao Fan paused, asking in surprise.

"Well… don't be in such a hurry to destroy it. There is something good inside this statue."

"What is it…" Xiao Fan was overjoyed.

"He left behind an extremely powerful Soul Power, though it has been dormant until now. It was likely intended for his successor…" The voice of the star chart echoed in Xiao Fan's ear.

"How strong is it?!" Xiao Fan was instantly overjoyed.

"Very strong… You will find out in a moment." The voice of the star chart echoed in Xiao Fan's ear: "The old rule, an eight-two split… I take eight, you take two."
