Midnight.
Mingyu Lane.
Cheng Qingyu walked through the narrow alley.
Moments later, she arrived in front of a quiet courtyard.
She knelt at the courtyard gate: "Mother, I'm here."
The courtyard gate opened, and a woman who bore some resemblance to the Celestial Phoenix Maiden appeared. She helped Cheng Qingyu up and smiled:
"Daughter, you did very well today. I saw everything."
Cheng Qingyu was delighted: "Really? Mother, you were at the Celestial Tao Fighting Arena during the day too?"
The woman nodded, raising her hand to gently stroke the hair on Cheng Qingyu's forehead:
"Back then, Zhu Yinrong and your father left the Celestial Phoenix Mountain to cultivate the 'Soul Separation Body Technique,' which led to my existence. But that Zhu Yinrong, she changed her heart towards your father, preferring to turn to ashes rather than be with him."
"I absorbed her Divine Phoenix Flame, and it took me ten years to transform it into the controllable Black Phoenix Flame."
