The Undying Volcano, Phoenix Clan 1.
Chapter 70 The Undying Volcano, the Phoenix Clan.
In the primordial world, on the southern land.
Chen Qing and the Mirage Dragon walked between the primordial world, one man and one dragon traveling on the southern land.
By this time, they had been traveling for over a thousand years.
During these thousand years, no crisis was encountered.
Over the course of a thousand years, some people saw that Chen Qing was only at the Xuanxian realm and prepared to have a debate with him.
Chen Qing looked at the person and saw that he was only at the Xuanxian realm. He could tell at a glance that the person was a spiritual root in human form, so he gave him a few words of advice.
I have encountered this situation several times.
There are many people in the southern world who have taken human form from spirit trees, and Chen Qing is always amazed when he encounters them.
After all, he had traveled through the primordial world many times, but rarely encountered a spirit tree that had taken human form. He never expected to encounter one in this southern land.
Of course, he also encountered valleys filled with miasma during those thousand years.
The valley was inhabited by many venomous beasts, including poisonous snakes, centipedes, scorpions with sharp barbs, and spiders with colorful markings.
However, the five poisonous beasts were quite peaceful, cultivating together in the valley without any fighting.
Chen Qing observed this scene for a moment, then left.
After all, he was just traveling, and even if the five poisonous beasts fought over it, he wouldn't interfere, as long as they didn't disturb him.
This journey through the southern lands allowed him to witness many things and gain a deeper understanding of the world.
On this day, he traveled with the mirage dragon and arrived at a mountain peak.
He stood atop the mountain, feeling the temperature rise steadily, but he frowned.
"Why is it that the temperature keeps rising the further south you go in the south?"
Upon hearing this, the mirage dragon frowned.
"Master, this is quite surprising. We have been traveling for a thousand years. The temperature was quite suitable before, but the further south we go, the higher the temperature gets."
"Now that we have come here, we see more fire-elemental creatures, and they are no longer as lush and green as before."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and looked out into the distance.
His eyes gleamed as he gazed at the distant world.
In his eyes, the distant world contained a group of volcanoes, and many phoenixes were coiled within them.
These volcanoes are all living volcanoes, with countless magma flows inside and extremely high internal temperatures, as if they would erupt immediately at the slightest disturbance.
If this volcano were to erupt, it would likely engulf everything around it in the next moment.
After all, the temperature of its magma is extremely high; even a Golden Immortal would be instantly melted if they entered it.
Chen Qing looked on with surprise as he gazed at the coiled phoenixes. He understood that the phoenixes were members of the phoenix clan, and that they were coiled in the volcanoes to suppress them and prevent them from erupting.
At this moment, Chen Qing recalled that after the war between the three races, the Phoenix Clan rarely appeared in the prehistoric world, probably because most of them were suppressing this immortal volcano.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing withdrew his gaze, glanced at the mirage dragon, and then shook his head with a smile.
"Mirage Dragon, ahead lies the Undying Volcano, within which dwell the Phoenix Clan. You are a member of the Dragon Clan; if you proceed, you will likely be torn apart by the Phoenix Clan."
Upon hearing this, the mirage dragon looked at Chen Qing with a puzzled expression.
"Master, you mean the Phoenix Clan?"
Chen Qing nodded without saying a word, only glancing at the mirage dragon before nodding again.
The mirage dragon nodded at Chen Qing, then looked towards the distant horizon.
During the Great War of the Three Races, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races fought each other. The hatred between the three races ran deep, and they would fight as soon as they met, a fight that would never end.
Now that the Mirage Dragon knows that the Phoenix Clan is ahead, its pupils shrink involuntarily.
He was alone, while the Phoenix Clan stood before him. One against one clan—there was no way he could win.
But the Mirage Dragon glanced at Chen Qing and felt more confident. With Chen Qing there, how could the Phoenix Clan dare to be presumptuous? After all, how could the Phoenix Clan possibly withstand Chen Qing's strength?
Upon seeing this, the Mirage Dragon immediately smiled and looked at Chen Qing.
"hey-hey!"
"Master, it's alright, I'm not afraid. They're just a few scruffy birds! With you here, they can't possibly cause any trouble."
"As long as the master makes a move, those scruffy birds will definitely not be able to withstand a single blow from him."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded noncommittally.
"I just observed the immortal volcano and discovered that there is an extremely powerful aura within it, comparable to that of a saint. It seems that its strength must be considerable. I just don't know who in the Phoenix Clan it is."
"I can only think of two people who have such an aura: the Phoenix Mother of the Phoenix Clan and the Vermilion Bird of the Phoenix Clan. Apart from these two, I can't think of anyone else who has such an aura."
Chen Qing spoke slowly, but the mirage dragon heard it differently.
The mirage dragon gazed at the distant world, lost in thought.
"Master said that I have an extremely powerful aura, comparable to a saint, and my strength is no weaker than a saint. So, maybe I shouldn't go. What if my master doesn't have time to act if my master really attacks me?"
The mirage dragon began to ponder in its heart, thinking about its own safety.
Chen Qing ignored him and looked into the distance before continuing on his way.
He planned to visit the Phoenix Clan to see what made them different, and he also intended to have a discussion with the owner of that aura.
"Mirage Dragon, come along. With me here, you'll be fine."
"After all, you have to consider the owner before you beat a dog. You are my mount. If anyone dares to lay a hand on you, wouldn't that be disrespecting me?"
Upon hearing this, the mirage dragon immediately stopped hesitating and quickly followed behind Chen Qing.
Although his master's words were somewhat harsh, they were indeed true. With his master around, what did he have to fear?
They're just a few scruffy birds; they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat his master. After all, his master is powerful enough to even take action against a saint.
Moreover, he was not at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation with a sage, and in the end, he even unleashed his supreme divine power, forcing the Dao Ancestor Hongjun to appear. With such strength, what did he have to fear?
With this in mind, the mirage dragon was no longer worried and calmly followed Chen Qing toward the world ahead.
Chen Qing and the Mirage Dragon walked together, enjoying the scenery of this world as they headed towards the Undying Volcano.
At this moment, a light shield appeared around the two of them, blocking all the high temperature outside the shield.
The further we went, the higher the temperature got, from tens of degrees to over a hundred degrees to several hundred degrees, and now it's several thousand degrees.
At this moment, the two had only gone halfway, still halfway to the immortal volcano, but the temperature here had already reached thousands of degrees.
Chen Qing looked at the location of the immortal volcano and estimated that the core area probably had a temperature of tens of millions of degrees.
Chen Qing no longer hesitated and continued walking forward.
The Mirage Dragon was somewhat helpless at this moment. The temperature was so high that he could only use his magic to keep it out.
However, as he used his magic, he revealed his aura, causing a surprising change.
Chen Qing stopped, his eyes gleaming as he looked ahead, waiting quietly.
The same was true for the Mirage Dragon. At this moment, the Mirage Dragon looked as if a great enemy was about to arrive. Its face was solemn, its aura was condensed, and its magic power was constantly circulating, as if a great battle was about to take place.
