In the remote mountain range, Gu Ruoyun's voice rang throughout the Heavens and Earth. It echoed through the atmosphere and went on, and on, and on.
However, the still-burning purple flames suddenly glowed with a demonic light...
A purple light blazed from within the purple flames. The light was blinding and Gu Ruoyun could not help but turn her head to look at it.
Slowly, the flames dispersed and revealed an egg wreathed in purple light. It sat quietly on the ground where Zixie once was.
"That's... A phoenix egg?"
Gu Ruoyun's heart tightened violently. She quickly crawled up from the ground and rushed to the front of the phoenix egg in two large strides. With a single trembling finger, she gently stroked the oval-shaped egg.
On the eggshell was a clear engraving of a phoenix spreading its wings and ready to soar into the skies. Gu Ruoyun could not hold back her tears and allowed them to stream freely down her face.
"Zixie."
