Licheng placed his hand on the circular carving on the mahogany door and it opened. Xiana glanced at him and they went inside with him. Xiana was awed to see the phoenix stony figure placed above a half-length cylindrical wooden pillar. Except that there was nothing present. The stone had a sign due to which the hall was not dark.
"Is that the sealed phoenix?" Xiana inquired.
Licheng hummed in response and went ahead of her. "In the past, it got sealed the reason why I died instead of being the immortal," he stated.
"So, if it gets freed, then you will get immortality," Xiana deduced.
"I don't wish for immortality," Licheng answered. "Why would I want to live for eternity and roam like a ghost around?" He muttered and turned slightly to gaze at her.
