Long Chen passed through the main hall, reaching the next hall, which looked identical to the first hall as well; the only difference was that there weren't any strange symbols on it. 

Instead, the wall on the left and on the right seemed to be filled with carvings. 

Long Chen and the others weren't here alone either. The other Godly Beast Heirs were here as well, observing the carvings. 

On the left wall, a Phoenix-like creature could be seen, sitting near the feet of a young man. The young man had his hand on the head of the Rainbow Phoenix's head as if he was patting the guy. 

"This must be the Ancient Rainbow Phoenix," Bai Gu commented. "Fascinating."

"The Ancient Phoenix is sitting on the feet of a man? Why?" Yui Ling's voice filled the silent hall. 

"They aren't humans," Zhu Chang said, touching the wall. "They must be the creators. Next, like the Ancient Phoenix are our creators, they are the creators of the entire universe."

"The Ancients?" Yui Ling asked. "I-i didn't recognize them. I didn't expect them to have a humanoid physique."

"The ones who could create the entire universe... I doubt they couldn't create any physique they wished for themselves. And it would be wrong to say they look like humans, but more accurate would be that humans look like them," Bai Gu explained. 

Long Chen only kept his eyes on the phoenix briefly. He was more interested in the other wall where a wolf-like creature was proudly standing. 

The creature seemed to have a physique of a wolf, but the physique was accompanied by wings on its back and sharp claws like tigers. It also had two long teeth like sabertooth. 

Standing before the beast was another young man who appeared to have long hair.

Even though the beast and the human were facing each other, it didn't look like they had any enmity for each other. The human had a gentle smile on his face. The beast also appeared to have immense love and respect for the human. 

What truly attracted the attention of Long Chen was the human's looks. For some reason, he seemed a lot like him, more accurately the way his Soul Spirit looked. 

'Is it a coincidence that he looks like me? I do have the bloodline of someone special. If I'm not wrong, the bloodline might be belonging to this guy. That would explain why Tian Shen is so strong but still craves the power of your bloodline.'

'It would also explain why the egg of Little Snow was with Tian Shen. Since this guy created the Ancient Myriad Beast, I am not the only person with his bloodline. The Ancient Myriad Beast must also be connected to the Bloodline Temple.'

'After it perished, it returned to the bloodline temple before it was stolen by Tian Shen along with other treasures that he used to create the fake Bloodline Temple.'

"Why does this guy look different than the one on the other side? I thought there was only one Ancient who created everything?" Yui Ling asked. "Is it the same guy with different looks?"

"I'm not sure," Bai Gu added, looking back. "If I were to take a guess, I would say that this is a different person."

"Then again, maybe it's the same. That would explain why the two Ancestral Beasts fought with each other. They probably wanted to be the favorite of the Ancient," he added, throwing another theory into the mix. 

Baihu Yang and Long Hu had already finished observing the carvings. Unable to find any significant clues from it, they left the hall. 

Yui Ling also ran after them. She knew if anyone could find some clues, it was going to be them. 

"This thing in the mouth of the bird. Isn't it the Spiritual Fruit?" Xun asked after everyone else had left. 

"What?" Long Chen asked, turning around. 

"This here," Xun said, pointing at the mouth of the Rainbow Phoenix. She had something in her mouth, and a half bitten piece of the fruit was also lying near its mouth. 

"That's certainly spiritual fruit. The spirit lines are depicted perfectly in the fruit," Bai Gu said, nodding. "Why?"

"Nothing. Just asking." Xun smiled. "Let's continue."

Even though the others didn't understand what she had implied, Long Chen had a clue. The Spiritual Fruit... If that was what the Rainbow Phoenix liked eating, she was most probably going to be in a place where she could find them.

He also understood why Xun hadn't said that openly. She didn't want to tell others where to find the Spiritual Phoenix. 

"What are Spiritual Fruits?" he asked Xun. "Anything special about them?"

"Nothing much. They are just said to increase the spiritual power and increase enlightenment," Zhu Chang explained. "But there are better alternatives of them. The energy of Spiritual Fruit is just too chaotic, and most of it goes to waste."

"The Spirit Enlightenment fruit is much better. Even though it contains less energy than Spiritual Fruit, we can absorb that more efficiently since it's more soothing. So everyone just consumes that," Bai Gu chimed in. 

"Moreover, Spiritual Fruits are almost extinct in any case. They need a special atmosphere to grow them, and that atmosphere can't be artificially created."

"If I'm not wrong, there should only be a few Spiritual Fruits that are seen once in a while in an auction house," Zhu Chang let out. "Then again, they're not useful for humans at all. If a human eats even one, he'll most probably explode."

"So don't even think about it," he reminded Long Chen. 

"So we can't find them anywhere? I was just curious. Something so old must be very expensive."

"It's expensive indeed. Even if it's inefficient, it has some historical value, so there is always an expensive bidding whenever one appears for auction."

"I understand that," Long Chen nodded. "Not that I have money to bid on auction either."

He left the hall as well. 

The four of them reached what appeared like a room filled with water to the top. The water wasn't spilling out of the room. It was as if it was blocked by some Barrier from leaving the room. 

There was no path to pass other than going through the room. 

"We need to go through the water. It shouldn't be unsafe since others left this place," Bai gu nodded. "But still, try to hold your breath when inside the water."

After finished, he stepped inside the room and started flying inside the water to reach the other end. 

"You want to go first?" Zhu Chang asked Long Chen.. "I can protect you if I'm behind you and something happens."
