The Innate Gourd Vine, Untouched by Cause and Effect
Chapter 5 The Innate Gourd Vine, Untouched by Cause and Effect
As the immortal volcano erupted, a giant phoenix flapped its wings and soared into the sky, letting out a loud cry.
What followed was truly magnificent and awe-inspiring. From all corners of the Undying Volcano, countless divine birds and all sorts of strange and unprecedented creatures swarmed out and flew into the sky with Lin Yang.
Following behind Lin Yang, they spread their wings and soared together, letting out loud cries in unison.
The sky had completely darkened at this moment, obscured by the wings of the birds.
Such a spectacle cannot be described as a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. Rather, it is endless and boundless.
The entire Phoenix Clan unleashed its full potential at this moment to celebrate Lin Yang's birth.
Undoubtedly, Lin Yang was also shocked at this moment, his soul seemingly connected with those countless birds.
He could sense the fervor, loyalty, and faith within these countless birds.
At this moment, no ceremony or words are needed.
He has already gained recognition.
From that day forward, he became the ruler of the Phoenix Clan. He inherited his mother's mantle and took over the responsibility of supporting the entire Phoenix Clan.
It circled in the air with countless birds, round and round, until finally, after a long time, the curtain fell.
The enormous phoenix transformed into a handsome young man and landed on a high platform.
Countless birds also descended, landing on the plaza in front of the platform. They all transformed into human figures, densely packed together, their eyes fixed on the figure on the platform with fervent gazes.
Someone shouted first, "Young Master!" Immediately afterwards, countless clansmen followed suit and shouted.
The sounds came in waves, incredibly powerful, making one's blood boil.
At this moment, the elder standing on the high platform stretched out his hand and gently pressed it down, signaling the clansmen to quiet down.
He took a phoenix crown that a maid had held up above her head and looked at Lin Yang with a smile.
Lin Yang understood immediately and lowered his head slightly. The Grand Elder personally placed the phoenix crown on his head.
This phoenix crown is a symbol of being the ruler of the phoenix clan.
Not only that, after putting on the phoenix crown, the Grand Elder also draped a phoenix robe over Lin Yang's body.
He raised Lin Yang's right hand and laughed, "Child, from now on, you are the master of our Phoenix Clan."
Lin Yang looked at him, then at the countless clansmen below the stage, and nodded solemnly: "Alright!"
Upon hearing this "good," countless tribesmen erupted in a thunderous roar, shouting wildly.
The repeated calls of "Young Master" gave Lin Yang an incredibly deep sense of closeness, stemming from the very depths of his bloodline.
From this day forward, he will be the ruler of the Phoenix Clan. He will bear the responsibility for the rise and fall of the entire race.
The Grand Elder released Lin Yang's hand, then bowed deeply and called out, "Young Master!"
Lin Yang's gaze shifted slightly, and he saw that all around him, his clansmen were kneeling on the ground, which moved him deeply.
With a wave of his hand, a spiritual root flew out, took root on the ground, and grew into a huge tree with countless leaves that looked like flames.
This was the phoenix tree he had recently acquired, the spiritual root of the Phoenix Clan.
The appearance of this spiritual root not only startled the Grand Elder, but also caused the other clansmen to shout wildly upon seeing it.
It is easy to imagine the great significance of the phoenix tree to the phoenix clan.
Now that Lin Yang has brought the phoenix tree back to the public eye, everyone naturally supports him even more.
Not only that, Lin Yang also took out a fiery red flag, which was the Flame Light Flag that flew off the ground.
This is another great treasure of the Phoenix Clan.
Without a doubt, the combined effect of these two factors has completely solidified Lin Yang's position within the Phoenix Clan.
He is the rightful heir appointed by Yuan Feng.
"Great! The phoenix tree and the Flame Banner have finally returned. It seems that Heaven has not forsaken our Phoenix Clan. Our Phoenix Clan is finally going to rise again!" the Grand Elder exclaimed excitedly.
On this day, countless delicacies, rare fruits, and fine wines were laid out in the Undying Volcano, and the Phoenix Clan held a grand banquet in celebration.
Lin Yang was warmly welcomed wherever he went.
"Elder, I have just been born and am not familiar with the affairs of the clan, so I will have to rely on you to continue to take care of things in the future," Lin Yang said to the Elder.
The First Elder pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Very well." Considering the numerous affairs of the clan, and to avoid disturbing Lin Yang's cultivation, the First Elder accepted this heavy responsibility.
Although the Phoenix Clan has sealed itself within the Undying Volcano, it still has a considerable number of members. With so many members living together, numerous problems inevitably arise.
The Grand Elder then gave Lin Yang some more detailed guidance on his cultivation before leaving.
Lin Yang, on the other hand, resided in a palace and began his secluded cultivation.
This time, he refined the essence blood of the Chaos Phoenix, which not only enhanced his bloodline but also greatly improved his cultivation.
At the time of his birth, his cultivation had already reached the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Moreover, Lin Yang also sensed that the drop of essence blood had not actually been completely digested.
It will bring you even more benefits over a long period of time.
Lin Yang cultivated silently.
And so time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three thousand years had passed.
On this day, the first sermon at Zixiao Palace ended, and many powerful beings who listened to the sermon began to return to the primordial world.
Inside the Undying Volcano, Lin Yang, who was in seclusion, suddenly heard a system notification: "Ding, the gourd vine, one of the ten great spiritual roots of the primordial world, is about to be born. The host may go and collect it."
"Option 1: Accept the mission and you will receive the reward of a superior innate spiritual treasure, the Fire Spirit Pearl, and ten drops of the Three Lights Divine Water."
"Option 2: Refuse the mission and you will receive 24 Sea-Stabilizing Pearls as a reward."
After understanding the system's task, Lin Yang was initially excited, but then calmed down.
This system has messed things up for itself again.
This mission seems simple: retrieve gourd vines from Buzhou Mountain. It's a sure-fire way to make a fortune!
After all, the gourd vine itself is one of the ten great spiritual roots of the primordial world. Moreover, at this moment, the gourd vine has also produced seven gourds.
This is a one-to-seven team! Not to mention the rewards: Fire Spirit Orb, Three Lights Divine Water?
but--
Lin Yang shook his head; this reward wasn't easy to come by.
If he emerges from the immortal volcano, this will be a huge problem.
Originally, the Phoenix Clan retreated to the interior of the Undying Volcano, severing all ties with the outside world.
Once you step out into the world, you're essentially getting caught up in karma.
If it were Lin Yang himself, no matter how great the cause and effect, he would grit his teeth and fight it.
But now, behind him are countless members of his clan!
"I am still too weak now and cannot get involved in too much karma. The Phoenix Clan is not ready to be reborn yet."
Lin Yang muttered to himself, "I've chosen number two."
Let's decline this task. The gourd vine may be desirable, but taking it will bring endless consequences.
After all, the owners of those gourds were all famous and powerful figures in the primordial world.
Furthermore, the gourd vine itself became the whip that Nuwa used to create humans.
Is this something I can just take freely?
