Wutong Mountain

Chirp...

A clear cry rang out from the Pet Interface, and the Little Fire Phoenix flew out of it, its joyful appearance clearly indicating that the incredibly rich fire-elemental spiritual energy of the Sea of Zhurong made it feel very comfortable. Fluttering its magnificent wings, the Little Fire Phoenix soared above the Sea of Zhurong, giving the impression of being as at ease as a fish in water.

"Phoenix Clan?" Upon seeing the Little Fire Phoenix, Ying Qianshan exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected that Mr. Zhuge would have a Phoenix Clan companion. It seems that the journey to Zhurong Sea of Zhurong will be even smoother. I've been to Sea of Zhurong a few times, but because of the Phoenix Clan's hostility towards humans, I've never entered Phoenix Clan territory before. It seems I'll have a chance to benefit from this today."

"My people's territory? I know where it is, Father. Come with me," the Little Fire Phoenix said to Zhuge Xiang with great enthusiasm and impatience. It then flapped its wings and flew directly towards the heart of the Sea of Zhurong.

The Phoenix, born Deity, reborn from the ashes, carries a legacy within its bloodline. Arriving in the Sea of Zhurong, although the Little Fire Phoenix couldn't sense the presence of its own kind, it somehow knew where its kin were. This was like an elephant; even if it had never been there before, it would know the way back to its birthplace before death. Following behind the Little Fire Phoenix, Zhuge Xiang and his companions flew onward. In stark contrast to the countless Aquatic Clan Cultivator of the Heavenly River, the Sea of Zhurong was a completely different place. Its crimson waters teemed with beings possessing Flame attributes; even the fish and shrimp were endowed with Flame talents.

Like the Phoenix, the Dragon Clan is one of the strongest Ancient Times. When one thinks of a dragon, the immediate feeling is one of power. The Phoenix, on the other hand, evokes feelings of nobility and elegance. Its Innate Ability to be reborn from the Phoenix is unique in the Three Realms and Six Paths.

In the Heavenly River, the Dragon Clan reigns supreme, and none of the countless Aquatic Clan Cultivator dare to defy Dragon Clan will. Similarly, in the Sea of Zhurong, the Phoenix Clan is also supreme.

Countless fire-type fish, shrimp, and even birds retreated in the presence of the Little Fire Phoenix. Therefore, no one dared to obstruct Zhuge Xiang and his companions while flying in the Sea of Zhurong.

"There it is, right there..." After flying for more than an hour, the Little Fire Phoenix suddenly shouted, increasing its speed even further. Looking in the direction the Little Fire Phoenix indicated, Zhuge Xiang, Mo Lingna, and even Ying Qianshan were all deeply shocked.

Legend has it that in Ancient Times, there was a pillar of heaven, Buzhou Mountain, standing tall and supporting the sky, its height unknown. However, Buzhou Mountain was broken in an accident and could never be seen again. But the Phoenix Clan's habitat, Wutong Mountain, still stunned Zhuge Xiang and his companions. Judging by their distance, Zhuge Xiang and his group were still millions of miles away from Wutong Mountain Zhuge Xiang, yet they could already see it from afar. It stood like a Sky-Supporting Pillar, reaching towards the heavens and sinking into the Sea of Zhurong, its height unknown.

"Wutong Mountain, according to legend, was formed from the Zhurong's Blood Buzhou Mountain, the pillar of heaven, after it was broken, and Zhu Rong. It came to life and became a giant Wutong Tree that is tens of thousands of miles tall. It seems that the legend is indeed true. This Wutong Mountain is indeed tens of thousands of miles tall," Ying Qianshan said, his eyes wide with shock as he looked at Wutong Mountain.

Even Zhuge Xiang, who had traveled throughout the Cultivation World and even ventured into the Demon Realm and the Asura Realm, was deeply shocked by Wutong Mountain, a mountain thousands of miles high. According to Ying Qianshan, Wutong Mountain was actually a living Wutong Tree? A life form transformed from the broken Buzhou Mountain and the Essence Blood of Zhurong? Was Wutong Mountain powerful enough to be considered a living being?

"The strength of the Dragon Clan lies in their inherent power, while the Phoenix Clan, although also strong, is even more fearsome because of Wutong Mountain. Moreover, the true strength of Wutong Mountain is unknown to anyone. Some say it has the Great Emperor level, while others say it has the cultivation Great Sage level, but the truth is a secret," Ying Qianshan explained, seeing that Zhuge Xiang did not know much about Wutong Mountain.

"Seeing this Wutong Mountain reminds me of another Divine Wood in the Three Realms and Six Paths," Zhuge Xiang suddenly said, looking at the towering Wutong Mountain.

Standing ten thousand miles tall, Wutong Mountain is indeed awe-inspiring. Even the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect Wutong Mountain appear as insignificant as an ant before it.

"Is Mr. Zhuge referring to the Great Venerable Ascending Heaven?" Ying Qianshan asked upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words. If there was any divine Divine Wood that could be compared to the towering Wutong Mountain, it would only be the even more profound Ascending Heaven Divine Tree.

"Indeed, legend has it that in Ancient Times, the roots of the Ascending Heaven Divine Tree spread through the Void, and its branches grew densely throughout the entire Heaven and Earth. The original inhabitants of this Immortal Realm all climbed up along the branches of the Ascending Heaven Divine Tree. However, I do not know how powerful the Ascending Heaven Divine Tree itself is," Zhuge Xiang replied with a smile.

"The true strength of the Great Venerable Ascending Heaven is unknown, and its true form is hidden in the Void, appearing and disappearing like a dragon. Furthermore, although the Great Venerable Ascending Heaven is powerful, it is ultimately just a tree, and combat is not its forte. However, I once heard the Jade Emperor Great Sage say that if the Great Venerable Ascending Heaven's true form remains motionless, even Great Sage would find it difficult to do anything to it." As for Ying Qianshan, having ascended to the Immortal Realm thousands of years ago, he knew quite a bit about such matters.

Wutong Mountain was so vast and awe-inspiring that Zhuge Xiang was reminded of the Ascending Heaven Divine Tree. Although they were still millions of miles away from Wutong Mountain, Zhuge Xiang and his companions arrived at the Wutong Mountain quickly, exchanging their thoughts and feelings.

The towering Wutong Mountain, which stretches for ten thousand miles, is actually made up of an enormous Wutong Tree. The trunk is so thick that its diameter is probably over a hundred miles. Floating in the air, Zhuge Xiang looked at the Wutong Mountain, which is over a hundred miles in diameter, and felt even more awe as he approached it.

The thick trees, stretching for miles, looked like an endless wooden wall, as if they had cut off the entire world. However, many branches grew horizontally from these trunks, blocking out the sun. A sweep of Divine Sense revealed that many Phoenix had built their nests on the branches of Wutong Mountain. The entire Phoenix Clan lived on Wutong Mountain.

Zhuge Xiang and his group went directly to the heart of the Phoenix Clan. Naturally, many Phoenix Clan sensed their presence. Soon, two noble Phoenix flew out and blocked Zhuge Xiang and his group's path.

Although the Phoenix harbored hostility towards Zhuge Xiang and the other two, it paused slightly upon seeing the Little Fire Phoenix, its beautiful phoenix eyes filled with a hint of doubt. "Who are you? Although you are from my Phoenix Clan, why have I never seen you before? Where did you come from?"
