Chapter 40 2 Ancestors Welcome
Following the lead of the Fire Feather Taoist.
Xuan Yao and Hong Ling traversed through the dark red clouds, constantly approaching the deepest part of the immortal volcano.
Along the way.
Xuan Yao took in the entire scene inside the Phoenix Clan's ancestral land.
In this vast fire domain enveloped by endless fiery poison, he encountered many descendants of the five branches of the Phoenix Clan.
There was a cultivator whose body was surrounded by extremely pure Southern Bright Fire, and who mainly cultivated the Crimson Phoenix Fire Virtue.
There are clansmen clad in blue feathers, radiating vitality, and primarily cultivating the spirit of the Azure Phoenix Wood Virtue.
Like Hong Ling, it is a descendant of the swan, pure white with the innate sharpness of the metal element hidden between its wings.
There are also the Purple Phoenix with its deep purple plumage and mysterious nature, and the Yellow Phoenix with its bright yellow feathers and a strong earthy aura.
These Phoenix Clan members all possess extremely noble bloodlines.
Even though many of them are just young birds that have just taken human form, or have not even stepped into the threshold of immortality.
But whether it's their posture when they spread their wings and fly, or the expression between their brows.
They all naturally possessed an air of arrogance that only those who had once been the protagonists of heaven and earth possessed, making it impossible for anyone to feel the slightest contempt for them.
"Even a centipede that has a hundred legs does not fall down when dead."
The foundation of this ancient overlord is truly unfathomable.
Xuan Yao sighed inwardly.
The news that Hong Ling had returned safely with the Nanming Fire Pearl had obviously been transmitted very quickly to the depths of the Undying Volcano through the communication of the Fire Feather Daoist.
The two had not yet flown to the Wutong Temple, where the Phoenix Clan held its council.
"boom!"
The fiery clouds ahead suddenly and forcefully tore apart to both sides.
Immediately afterwards, two extremely powerful and terrifying auras came from the depths of the fiery clouds!
These two streams of energy are completely different, yet equally profound and vast.
The aura on the left was an extremely pure platinum color, sharp and clear, like a cold moon hanging high in the sky, forcefully cleaving a piece of cold world in this scorching fire domain.
The energy on the right, however, was gentle and warm.
The boundless vitality of the Wood element and the unique nobility of the Phoenix Clan are perfectly intertwined, making people feel as if they are bathed in a spring breeze.
The newcomers were none other than the highly respected ancestors of the Honghu and Qingluan lineages of the Phoenix Clan!
Xuan Yao only glanced at the two ancestors.
He was absolutely certain that these two were ancient powerful beings who had survived the brutal Dragon-Han Calamity!
Although they did not deliberately release any extremely terrifying pressure to intimidate others.
Yet, in every gesture, there is an extremely natural sense of profound vicissitudes accumulated over countless years.
Xuan Yao was certain that the cultivation levels of these two ancestors had at least reached the level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!
It is even highly likely that they have already gone extremely far in the Great Luo Realm, which transcends the river of time!
Facing a terrifying figure of this caliber.
Xuan Yao did not become arrogant or frivolous in the slightest because he was an inner disciple of the Queen Mother of the West.
He stepped forward with utmost decorum, his posture composed and without the slightest hint of humility, and solemnly performed the courtesy due to a junior.
"Junior Xuan Yao greets the two patriarchs."
The old ancestor Honghu was dressed in a white and gold robe, his face cold and dignified.
The first thing she saw was the swan with blood-stained wings and an extremely weak aura.
His originally refined and dignified expression suddenly turned extremely gloomy and ugly.
"Ancestor..."
Hongling was about to speak and explain something.
"shut up!"
However, he was interrupted by a stern rebuke from the Old Ancestor Honghu.
"You reckless girl! Young and hot-blooded, you don't know your place!"
The tone of the Old Ancestor Honghu was filled with extreme anger and disappointment:
"Do you think this is still the old days when my Phoenix Clan dominated the prehistoric world, like the Dragon and Han Dynasties?!"
As the external situation deteriorated, the Eastern King of Zifu Continent was ambitious and aggressively expanding his territory.
At such an extremely sensitive time, how dare you be so audacious as to secretly travel to the East Sea without informing your elders and steal the Southern Bright Fire Pearl from the cultivators of Purple Mansion Continent?!
"If it weren't for your chivalrous intervention, young friend Xuan Yao, you would probably be in grave danger."
Not only would they be captured alive by the Purple Mansion Continent and taken back to be refined into pills and treasures, but they would also suffer endless torture!
"And you'll even implicate our clan elders, forcing us to step in and incur that extremely troublesome and deadly grudge against the head of the male immortals, the Eastern King Duke, just for your sake!"
Faced with such a stern reprimand from the patriarch, Hong Ling lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, biting his lip tightly, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal.
Xuan Yao stood quietly to the side, listening to the reprimand from Ancestor Honghu, and felt a genuine sense of respect for the ancestor.
Although the Phoenix Clan retains the pride of its ancient overlords.
However, this venerable sage was clearly very clear-headed and was not blinded by the illusory glory of the past.
She knew very well that the Phoenix Clan was now burdened with karma and could not easily get involved in any more complicated karmic entanglements.
She understood perfectly well that in this dog-eat-dog world of the prehistoric era, if a young person did not have enough strength to protect the treasure, then taking the treasure would be tantamount to inviting death!
This extremely calm and clear-headedness in the face of harsh reality is far more important than that kind of superficial pretension that makes one suffer for the sake of saving face!
After giving Hongling a very stern reprimand.
Ancestor Honghu suddenly turned to Xuanyao, his expression softening considerably.
He bowed deeply to Xuan Yao, this junior, with utmost solemnity.
"Young friend Xuan Yao, please excuse my poor appearance."
The old sage's tone was filled with extremely sincere gratitude:
"Although Hongling is reckless and doesn't know her own limits, she is ultimately an extremely important direct descendant of my Honghu lineage."
Moreover, she was carrying the extremely important Phoenix Clan artifact, the Nanming Li Fire Pearl.
If it weren't for your righteous rescue in my time of crisis, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"You flatter me, Ancestor."
Faced with the salute of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, Xuan Yao naturally dared not be presumptuous in the slightest. He quickly stepped aside to avoid the half-bow and replied with utmost humility:
"This junior had no intention of forcibly interfering in the feud between the nobles and the Purple Mansion Continent."
However, that Yellow Wind Daoist was extremely arrogant and domineering, relentlessly pursuing the junior all the way to the gate of his Daoist temple, even threatening to destroy the mountain and break the formation, thus violating the rules among fellow Daoists in the primordial world.
"As the master of this dojo, I had no choice but to act swiftly and decisively to kill him."
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor, draped in azure feathers, heard Xuan Yao's neither humble nor arrogant explanation.
Those eyes flickered slightly, and a smile of utmost appreciation appeared on their faces:
"Do not contend with unrelated causes and effects, and protect yourself wisely. But never back down from disasters at your doorstep, and be decisive in killing."
"Young friend Xuan Yao's measured and measured demeanor truly reflects the essence of the Western Kunlun lineage."
Then, the Azure Phoenix Ancestor took the initiative to steer the conversation toward the Queen Mother of the West.
"Speaking of which, my Qingluan lineage does indeed have an extremely deep historical connection with Xikunlun."
"After that terrible calamity in the past, my Phoenix Clan was almost wiped out."
If it weren't for the Queen Mother of the West's great mercy in protecting my Qingluan lineage, many more of my Qingluan bloodline would likely have perished.
"We, the Phoenix Clan, will always remember Your Majesty's immense kindness and will never forget it in the slightest."
Ancestor Qingluan sighed and continued:
"Now, I have heard that the Queen Mother of the West has been conferred a title by the Taoist Ancestor and has been honored as the head of all female immortals."
Although we Phoenix Clan members are bound by karma and cannot openly and ostentatiously go to the Jade Pool to offer our congratulations, we are still bound by karma.
But in his heart, he always remembered this old love.
"Today, young friend, you have once again saved the direct descendant of my clan. This debt of gratitude grows ever heavier."
Xuan Yao smiled and exchanged a few polite words, and the relationship between the two families quickly grew closer in this extremely harmonious conversation.
After some pleasantries...
The two patriarchs, Honghu and Qingluan, did not delay any longer and personally led the way with great enthusiasm.
Carrying Xuan Yao, they crossed numerous extremely dangerous earth fire restrictions.
Head straight to the deepest, most important part of that immortal volcano.
Wutong Temple!
