Kapitel 856: Empress

The Rebirth Shrine was unlike the Fire Shrine. It didn't have the oppressive heat or heavy environment. In fact, it was filled with life and vitality. 

Rivers of gold flowed and waterfalls of bronze fell. The clouds danced with all sorts of rainbow colors and the land was brimming with vitality. Every step Ryu took made him feel as though his very soul was being reinvigorated. 

Unlike the Fire Shrine, the Rebirth Shrine didn't have architecture. It sat it the middle of a golden lake that seemed to shift between ethereal and corporeal, dancing between fog and liquid. 

Standing at the edge of this lake, Ryu could see countless hidden formations buried within. To anyone else, they might have been completely undetectable. But to him, they were as bright as day, each more complex than the last. There was no doubt that the treasures of the Fire Phoenix Clan were hidden beneath.
