The Phoenix Clan's Submission, Each Plotting Their Own Schemes

Chapter 64 The Phoenix Clan's Submission, Each Plotting Their Own Schemes

Suppressing her shock, Zhuque spoke up.

"Since the last great calamity, my Phoenix Clan has withdrawn from the primordial world and has no longer participated in the cause and effect of the primordial world."

"I hope the Daoist Ancestor Guixuan will forgive me!"

The stronger the wind, the bigger the fire!

The Dao Ancestor Guixuan has grand ambitions, and his Phoenix Clan cannot withstand a second round of turmoil.

But then Gui Xuan spoke up, saying, "Rest assured, what I'm planning is not to involve your Phoenix Clan in the Primordial War."

"It is a scheme that will allow the Phoenix Clan to exist forever in the primordial world."

This···

Suzaku hesitated.

The reputation of the Dao Ancestor Guixuan was widely spread among the creatures at the bottom of the primordial world.

Although there was some discord with another Daoist patriarch.

However, he didn't have a bad reputation.

After some deliberation, Zhuque said in a deep voice, "If what Dao Ancestor Guixuan said is true, then what's wrong with the Phoenix Clan submitting to him?"

The boundless karmic burden was suffocating the entire Phoenix Clan.

Countless eras have passed, and very few Phoenixes have been born from the Undying Volcano.

If it weren't for their long lifespan, the Phoenix Clan would have long since disappeared into the primordial world.

As the only surviving elder of the Phoenix Clan, Zhuque was also helpless.

After much deliberation, he finally agreed to Gui Xuan's request.

Gui Xuan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll grant your Phoenix Clan a great opportunity first."

As he spoke, he flicked his palm, and a golden phoenix on the parasol tree disappeared, now held in Guixuan's palm.

"I see that this phoenix has the purest bloodline of the phoenix clan, so I will grant her a chance to be free from disaster and calamity from now on."

Three halos of merit appeared behind Guixuan, making him appear sacred and solemn.

Then, to Suzaku's astonishment, she plucked the smallest halo from the back of his head and held it in her palm.

"With the merits of Heaven as the cause and time as the nourishment, when the sage descends one day, the cause and effect will naturally be complete!"

The halo of merit, which had transformed into a ball of light, entered the body of the golden phoenix.

With a flick of his finger, Gui Xuan concealed the golden phoenix in his palm into the void, disappearing without a trace.

Then probe with your palm again.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

A nest appeared, containing two giant eggs, one radiating multicolored light, the other circulating yin and yang energies, appearing in his palm.

Upon seeing this, Zhuque was startled. "Ancestor Guixuan, this is the offspring of Yuanfeng, the patriarch of my Phoenix Clan!"

Gui Xuandao replied, "I understand."

"Bound by boundless karma, even if one does not die young, one will still face a calamity in the future."

"From then on, I was no longer in control of my own life and was subject to the control of others."

The power of the laws flowed through his fingertips and eventually disappeared into the two giant eggs.

"In this way, Yuan Feng's offspring will be born soon."

"When the time is right, you may become my disciple."

The Vermilion Bird was thrilled, its gaze softening as it looked at the two giant eggs. "The Dao Ancestor Guixuan is merciful!"

Gui Xuan nodded and put the two giant eggs back in their original places.

These two would later become the Peacock King and the Golden-Winged Roc, respectively.

They all have quite a reputation.

However, due to the karma of the Phoenix Clan, one of them reached the Quasi-Saint Perfection but was unable to attain enlightenment.

One is even worse.

It's a real shame to let it go to waste.

His gaze fell upon the Vermilion Bird, and Gui Xuan spoke again, "You are the Vermilion Bird, a true god of heaven and earth. In the future, you will have an opportunity. The day that opportunity arrives will be the day your Phoenix Clan once again becomes famous throughout the primordial world!"

The Vermilion Bird's eyes shone brightly with golden light. "It's all up to Ancestor Guixuan to decide!"

Gui Xuan nodded and left.

Before leaving, he took a branch of a paulownia tree and put it into the Chaos Pearl.

"The so-called Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols."

"Qian represents Heaven, and Kun represents Earth; this balance of Yin and Yang, the operation of Qian and Kun, cannot function without support."

······

Beihai, Abbot Fairy Island.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, who had spent tens of thousands of years on Fangzhang Immortal Island, sat in front of the mythical beast Xuanwu with serious expressions.

A series of Daoist chants emanated from Xuanwu's mouth and entered their bodies.

Tens of thousands of years have made them lose their initial apprehension.

Under Xuanwu's guidance, he calmed his mind and began to comprehend the Dao.

Xuanwu, the reincarnation of the Chaos Demon God, met Zhen Yuanzi, a diligent and studious man, and found a kindred spirit.

After tens of thousands of years of interaction, Zhen Yuanzi reaped considerable benefits from Xuanwu.

To Xuanwu's surprise, Zhen Yuanzi's talent in the art of Qiankun was simply astonishing.

In just tens of thousands of years, he managed to grasp the basics of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

As a result, Hongyun's strength also improved.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

After Xuanwu finished his sermon, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were filled with gratitude.

The Way of Heaven is difficult to comprehend, and the Great Way is difficult to find.

To Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun's surprise, in this bitterly cold North Sea, not only was there such a fairy island, but there were also powerful and holy beings living there.

However, the thought that the other party had some connection with the Dao Ancestor Guixuan made it seem perfectly reasonable.

Xuanwu nodded. "You can each comprehend the Dao I have taught yourselves. If you have any questions, you can come to me anytime."

"Remember, you must not leave the island. The outside world is frantic looking for you."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Hongyun.

Hongyun awkwardly touched her nose.

He also felt somewhat wronged.

Instead of being appreciated for offering a seat out of kindness, Kunpeng held a grudge against me.

Hearing a sermon has landed him in a hot potato, and the ancient gods are searching for him all over the world, wishing they could tear him to pieces.

His Dao heart almost collapsed.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Hongyun, whose face was full of confusion, and asked, "Senior, when will Dao Ancestor Guixuan return?"

Although the opponent was at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, their understanding of the laws was many times greater than theirs.

He must be the reincarnation of some old monster, someone Zhen Yuanzi dares not underestimate.

"I'm back."

Gui Xuan appeared on Fangzhang Island, his voice calm, instantly attracting the attention of the three deities.

"Greetings to the Dao Ancestor Guixuan!"

Xuanwu, Zhenyuanzi, and Hongyun quickly paid their respects.

Gui Xuan landed on the ground, saying, "No need for formalities."

Hongyun, however, couldn't wait any longer and looked at Guixuan, "Dao Ancestor, what's going on outside?"

He had been trapped on the fairy island for tens of thousands of years, and Hongyun, who loved freedom by nature, was already eager to get out.

Gui Xuan glanced at him. "Want to leave?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Eat more, fatten up, otherwise there won't be enough to go around with."

Forehead···

Why are you speaking so sarcastically!

Hongyun looked at Guixuan speechlessly.

Several law-enhancing cushions appeared on the ground, and Gui Xuan gestured for them to sit down.

Then the Earth Book appeared and floated toward Zhen Yuanzi, saying, "I have finished comprehending this treasure and now return it to you."

Zhen Yuanzi was surprised. Really not?

Seeing the Earth Book he had lost and then found again, he quickly took it into his hands, saying, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"

Gui Xuan Dao says, "The heavenly secrets have not yet been revealed, and the time has not yet come; when the time comes, this treasure will be your means of attaining enlightenment."

Zhen Yuanzi was overjoyed upon hearing this, exclaiming, "The Dao Ancestor is merciful!"

I have a deeper respect for Gui Xuan.

"As for you," Gui Xuan paused, looking at Hong Yun.

"Please, Dao Ancestor, save my life!" Hongyun prostrated himself on the ground, but was lifted up by an invisible force.

"Your heart is too soft, unsuitable for the battles of the primordial world; you act on impulse, inviting trouble everywhere, and you will perish sooner or later."

"I have two methods here, you may listen to them."

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun said in unison, "We beg the Dao Ancestor to bestow upon us the Dharma!"

At this moment, Xuanwu slowly spoke, "I haven't slept in a long time, I'm going to sleep first, you guys continue."

After saying that, he disappeared from there and went to sleep in a valley on Fangzhang Immortal Island.

Gui Xuan ignored him; ever since he became Xuanwu, he had perfectly inherited the turtle clan's habit of loving to sleep.

If he hadn't found the other party and gotten them to take action, he probably would have slept until the end of the Great Calamity.

After Xuanwu left, Guixuan spoke again.

"One option is to go out now and be surrounded and killed by the Primordial Gods."

Hongyun's heart tightened. "Dao Ancestor, please don't joke."

"Secondly, relying on the Primordial Purple Qi within you, you can instantly become a saint!"

"The fact that the Primordial Purple Qi has landed on you proves that you still have a glimmer of hope."

"If you are willing, I will preach to you and help you to become a saint!"

boom!

A thunderbolt flashed through Hongyun's mind.

Zhen Yuanzi also looked at Gui Xuan in disbelief.

How can becoming a saint be so easy in this person's words?

"Second! Dao Ancestor, I choose the second method!"

Hongyun didn't even think before speaking.

With a life-or-death crisis looming, he had no time to think.

Great danger contains great opportunity!

Gui Xuan nodded. "There's still hope."

"In that case, I will preach to you and help you achieve sainthood!"

"The Dao Ancestor has mercy!!"

······

Buzhou Mountain, Ancestral Witch Temple.

The twelve ancestral witches who established tribes in the primordial land sat solemnly in the Ancestral Witch Hall.

Not long after the two from the Heavenly Court entered the Quasi-Saint realm, the Twelve Ancestral Witches entered the Quasi-Saint realm all at once.

Combat strength greatly increased!

With the Time Law flowing through his body, the Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin slowly spoke, "Elder brother, the River of Time has been disrupted by some force, and the future is invisible."

Zhu Jiuyin was born with the ability to control the laws of time and possesses the power to peer into the primordial river of time.

However, due to his own limitations, he was unable to watch for an extended period of time.

Since he entered the Quasi-Saint realm, he has discovered scenes of the Lich Wars and the destruction of heaven and earth in the river of time.

After several attempts to investigate, the same thing was observed.

Left with no other choice, they summoned the twelve ancestral witches to discuss the matter.

Di Jiang flashed something, "If the river of time has been disrupted, then it proves that the secrets of heaven have changed, and the future is uncertain."

"What you saw before may be real. As the primordial world evolves and the Heavenly Dao gradually perfects itself, the future will be ever-changing, and the outcome is unknown."

Although the Wu clan does not have a primordial spirit, it does not mean they are brainless.

By observing just a glimpse, one can understand the whole picture; Dijiang instantly figured out the reason.

"Brother, what should we do?"

The ancestral shaman Zhu Rong, his body radiating anger, asked in a muffled voice.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, sat at the end, her voice filled with helplessness, "Hongjun Daozu has given three sermons, and my Witch Clan has already offended every deity of the primordial world."

"Especially the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa are among them; the Demon Emperor Jun has gone to Buzhou Mountain several times to invite Nuwa and Fuxi to join the demon race, but has been refused."

"If Nuwa agrees to join the demon race, it's still manageable as the current Holy One is not yet a saint. But once she becomes a saint, not only will the demon race have a saint behind them, but how will we deal with the other saints?"

"Our Wu clan does not cultivate the primordial spirit, unlike other ancient gods who can wield spiritual treasures to enhance their combat power; this puts us at a disadvantage in battle."

Houtu's words caused the expression of one of the ancestral witches to darken.

For a moment, the Ancestral Witch Hall fell silent.

After a long while, Dijiang spoke in a cold voice.

"Since we're going to have to fight sooner or later, let's test the strength of the demon race first."

"While the demon race is not yet fully integrated, let's conquer some territory for our race!"

"Cleanse the demon race!"
