Emperor Shang announces his retirement

He took out the scarlet feather of some bird from his storage ring and handed it to the second prince, "this has been passed down in our family for generations and so far, it was used two times in history. When you feel like you need help, pour your ether energy into this feather. The Phoenix will hear you and come to the rescue. However, it can only be used for one more time. 

Perhaps, the war could be won if I used it but deep down, I probably know that Western Yan isn't ours to begin with. It is an occupied territory. I guess I wasn't desperate enough to use this last remaining treasure of the Shang Dynasty after losing both of our divine-grade weapons.

Today, I will give you this so that it becomes your life-saving treasure."

"But, Your Majesty, shouldn't this be handed to your successor?" Shang Wen was quite surprised when he heard the history behind this feather which looked quite normal at one glance.
