53. The Phoenix Clan Takes Action
[Search Target: Twenty-Four-Rank Creation Green Lotus (Innate Supreme Treasure)]
[Status: Heavenly secrets are obscured, the Dao's essence is hidden, location unknown.]
"Tsk, I knew I couldn't find it."
Xiang Dong wasn't really surprised by this result, since spiritual treasures all possess a spirit, although they lack complete intelligence, thoughts, and emotions.
Of course, if you give them enough time and suitable conditions to develop, it is not impossible for them to take human form and be born.
For example, the Randeng, the first coffin of the innate realm, although a bit special, is essentially still a spiritual treasure.
Currently, the spirit treasure only possesses spirituality, a trace of innate, indestructible spiritual light. It can sense a suitable person to use it, but if its master dies, it will immediately flee far away, disappearing into the void and hiding.
For example, the Chaos Bell disappeared after Donghuang Taiyi died in the war Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Chaos Bell, and has never been seen again.
The Heavenly Dao wanted to kill it, and the Creation Green Lotus sensed it to some extent. If it hadn't encountered the Three Pure Ones, who were transformed from Pangu Primordial Spirit, the Creation Green Lotus would have continued to hide and might never have been born again.
Xiang Dong thought for a moment, then changed his search target to the Innate Gourd Vine.
This thing is also an anomaly among Innate Spirit Roots. Its existence is also very different from ordinary Spirit Roots. Its whole body is a treasure. The seven gourds it produces are all extraordinary. Its vines are the future Creation Whip. It is definitely an existence of the same level as the Creation Green Lotus.
Therefore, Heavenly Dao did not allow it to continue to develop and grow. The seven gourds, along with their vines, were divided up by the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Dijun, Hongyun, and others. The scene of dismemberment was somewhat cruel and too brutal.
According to unofficial historical records, only the Red Gourd was the most mature at that time, followed by the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the Demon-Summoning Gourd. The others were all immature and belonged only to the Upper-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.
The seventh son is the youngest and least mature, so he's not considered very powerful. Taiqing is mainly used to store elixirs.
Its birthplace is Buzhou Mountain. Last time Xiang Dong was looking for the Pangu Hall, he also wanted to find it, but he couldn't find it. Now he's using his mobile phone to look for it again.
It is clear that Xiang Dong was still determined to commit theft and was quite obsessed with it.
Don't ask, the answer is watching Gourd Babies.
The results from the phones were all similar: [The secrets are obscured; the world has not yet been revealed, and cannot be locked onto.]
"You don't know this, you can't lock onto that, you know nothing when asked, what use are you?"
Despite his apparent disdain, Xiang Dong couldn't bear to throw his phone away and obediently kept it in his pocket.
"Looks like we'll still have to rely on others."
Xiang Dong quickly came up with a solution. Since the Creation Green Lotus would eventually be torn apart by the Three Pure Ones, all he had to do was keep a close eye on them, right?
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; the oriole stalks the mantis, unaware of the slingshot behind.
I'm the boy with the slingshot, so no rush, let the bullets fly for a while.
Xiang Dong checked the profile pages of the Three Pure Ones and then set them to be followed by special updates.
Watching Xiang Dong's departing figure, Nuwa frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Although she has now reached the level of Great Unity Golden Immortal, the struggle that Xiang Dong is currently involved in is far beyond her control.
This made Nuwa feel powerless, and her desire to become stronger only intensified.
She can't help him now, but that doesn't mean others can't. She has a lot of confidence in Xiang Dong, but it's an undeniable fact that Xiang Dong's actual abilities are lacking. So she plans to find some helpers for Xiang Dong.
A stream of light condensed at her fingertips and flew towards the southern horizon.
Xiang Dong prevented the war between the three races, thus incurring a great favor to all three races, and all three races now owe him a heavy Yinguo.
It's time to repay this kindness.
Before the Taichu, Xiang Dong had been asleep in the Pangu Hall. Moreover, he was bound to the mobile phone, Acquired Merit Treasure, so his personal information and heavenly secrets were blocked by the Heavenly Dao. The three races could not find him to repay their debt of gratitude.
Nuwa had a good relationship with the Phoenix Clan, so she immediately thought of informing Phoenix Clan that their great benefactor had already taken action, and that they could also take action.
Originally, after the Phoenix Clan fell into decline, they still relied on Nuwa's protection. Therefore, Nuwa's later Daoist temple was on Phoenix Perch Mountain, and Kong Xuan, the son of the Primordial Phoenix, was raised under her care.
However, the Phoenix Clan still retains a considerable amount of vitality. Although it has lost its former dominant position, it is still a powerful force in its own right.
Meanwhile, in the Primordial World south, Immortal Volcano.
Qingluan, who had a very good relationship with Nuwa, received a message from Nuwa and suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her phoenix eyes.
She had already processed the information Nuwa had given her, so she was filled with shock and even disbelief.
The great benefactor who prevented the three races from perishing remained a mystery to them. This benefactor was elusive, disappearing without a trace after the war, leaving the Phoenix Clan with no way to repay their kindness.
Over the years, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans have kept a low profile, but they have been secretly searching for Xiang Dong's whereabouts without any success.
Only now do we know that his name is Xiang Dong, and that he has been sleeping in Nuwa's spiritual field all these years, slowly recovering his original essence.
Qingluan didn't know why Xiang Dong needed to restore his original form, Nuwa hadn't explained it clearly either. So, in Qingluan's view, it was the price to pay to stop the war between their three races.
It's not entirely wrong of her to think that way, but it's not as serious as she imagined.
Xiang Dong timely prevented the three clans from perishing together, pulling them back from the brink of destruction.
This kindness is like a second life; the Yinguo involved is too great to ignore. I cannot and have no way to avoid repaying it.
Now, finally there is news of Xiang Dong, but it turns out he is going to do something dangerous.
As the current representative of the Phoenix Clan, Qingluan made her choice immediately without the slightest hesitation.
"Summon all elders for a meeting!"
The few remaining elders of the Phoenix Clan —Golden Phoenix, Fire Phoenix, Blue Phoenix, and Snow Phoenix—arrived quickly. Golden Phoenix and Fire Phoenix were the most direct and straightforward in their attitudes.
"The Phoenix Clan owes Fellow Daoist Xiang Dong Xiang Dong immense debt of gratitude; now is the time to repay that debt!"
"Our benefactor's journey is one we, the Phoenix Clan, cannot stand idly by. If he seeks treasure, we will clear the obstacles for him; if he encounters danger, we will vanquish his powerful enemies!"
"We will immediately lead ten members of our clan..."
Qingluan interrupted Jinfeng, "No!"
"Why?"
"Nuwa Daoist Nuwa told me that our benefactor acts eccentrically and has his own plans for this trip. If we go there in a grand manner, we might disrupt his plans."
"So, in your opinion, we should do nothing at all?"
"Of course not. We'll send someone with sufficient status, a meticulous mind, and strong capabilities to make initial contact with our benefactor. The rest will provide covert protection. If our benefactor requires further action, how about that?"
"I think it's feasible, so I'll go."
Qingluan was somewhat surprised that Xuehuang took the initiative to take on this task, but compared to the hot-tempered Jinfeng and Huofeng, Xuehuang was indeed more suitable.
"Alright, let Xuehuang go and make contact with our benefactor."
