After experiencing Fu Hua's fragmented memories. The two valkyries stared at each other in disbelief.

Both are confused as they started to share their own opinions and ideas about their class rep.

The disciple who was keeping an eye on Shiro turns around and greeted them. "Welcome back. It looks like you truly saw the Phoenix."

Kiana speechless as Lin explained what they just went through. "You two have experienced "Xinyin" a mind seal of the Immortal Phoenix. The one and only true Celestial Empyrea."

"With Master Phoenix being immortal, her memories are vast ocean that constantly erode her sentient mind."

"The immortal must sort through her memories to control their overwhelming accumulation and maintain mental clarity. And the memories that are discarded were kept in these Xinyin mind seals."

As the disciple explained she turned back to Shiro and crouched down examining his vitals. "How was it? Did you find the answers that you are seeking for?"

"No..." Kiana shook her head dejected as the lady replied with encouragement. "Don't be disheartened. The Immortal lived in this mountain for many years. There are many scattered mind seals that you'll be able to find... I'm sure that you will able to find the answers you seek."

"The Bronya hopes so." Second by the valkyrie. Both of them also decided to check with Shiro.

Lin then lights up an incense slowly stirring the male awake. When he opened his eyes, what greeted him were his two partners checking to see if he is alright. "You okay Shiro?" Kiana gently pats his shoulder

"Yeah... Never been better." He replied but Bronya noticed that something was bothering their leader. Yet she stayed silent continuing to observe him. "You girls find what we need?"

"Nyet. Although the Bronya and Kiana have found the class monitor's memories. They are not the ones that we are seeking."

"Miss Lin told us that there are many more mind seals scattered around the mountains. We need to find and collect them." Kiana explained as they have their next objective.

"I shall remain here and rest." Lin said her voice trembling, they could see that she is tired after she used her power to let the two enter the celestial's mindscape. "Return here if you have collected more sealed feathers. Then I will unlock it for you three."

"But keep in mind." Lin said giving a tip. "Since so many years have passed, a few seals may have been faded and broken apart. Be sure not to collect those. As for how to identify them... You will be able to discern the difference of it easily."

"Why are you helping us?" Kiana asked as she remembered from Fu Hua's words that the celestial and her disciples never really interfered or aid the mortals.

"Ara? Do I sense a bit of uneasiness and distrust?"

Kiana lowered her head feeling shameless of why she asked that. She doesn't mean it to sound rude. Lin smiled as she knew that the vessel of the Void didn't mean it like that. "Treat it as a duty of a disciple of Taixuan School."

The disciple bows her head and left the three to go and take a rest, as the three then went into a team huddle.

"..." Shiro could sense Kiana is being very careful. They don't have a lot of information. Yet time is also against them if they didn't act.

"Do you believe what she just said?" Kiana asked for the two's opinion.

Bronya answered. "Miss Lin will not lie in this kind of situation. Plus the feather we found gave us hints of Fu Hua's memories."
