On the Minor Matter of Destroying a Few Great Thousand Worlds

The Immortal Volcano was also a Blessed Land in the Primordial Era, with abundant spiritual qi.

However, the spiritual qi here was fire-red.

To be precise, it was fire-attribute Innate Spiritual Qi.

Feeling the surrounding spiritual qi, Lu Ya felt like a fish in water.

Yuan Feng accompanied Lu Ya on his tour. She had been in secluded cultivation but came out early upon discovering Lu Ya's arrival.

This showed Yuan Feng's regard for Lu Ya.

A Grand Unity level expert was worthy of Yuan Feng's attention.

Speaking of which, the Immortal Volcano wasn't just about earth fire magma; it also hid quite a bit of immortal spiritual scenery.

Just as Lu Ya crossed a barrier, the scene before him changed dramatically.

Beautiful mountains and clear waters, exotic flowers and plants everywhere, with misty vapor permeating the air.

In the sky, mountains of various sizes floated, each with a unique shape.

Tens of thousands of mountains were suspended in the air, and upon closer inspection, each suspended mountain had a Wutong Tree, though they were all Postnatal Spiritual Roots.

Lu Ya looked up at the suspended mountains and the Wutong Trees.

Even though the Wutong Trees he saw were Postnatal Spiritual Roots, they were still quite distinctive.

If Lu Ya's guess was correct, these Postnatal Wutong Trees were branches that had differentiated from Innate Wutong Trees.

Since Pangu's Creation, Innate Spiritual Roots had been very rare, and the Innate Wutong Tree was one of them, qualified to be called top-tier.

"The phoenix sings on the high ridge, the Wutong Tree grows in the morning sun," Lu Ya casually exclaimed.

Yuan Feng, standing beside him, glanced at him, a hint of brilliance flashing in her beautiful eyes.

The largest suspended mountain was tens of thousands of feet tall, and the Wutong Tree growing on it was ten thousand feet tall, with lush branches and leaves, its crown resembling a giant Canopy.

Truly, it was a magnificent Wutong Tree, exuding an ancient aura, its leaves like azure clouds, its bearing outstanding, its roots in clear springs, born under the heavens with purple blossoms, constellations above it, attracting beautiful birds to sing.

Within the thousand-foot cliffs of the suspended mountains, the figures of various flying birds appeared.

Some were familiar to Lu Ya, while others were completely unknown to him.

In the Primordial Time River, too many races had gone extinct, and there would only be more in the future.

Under the operation of the Heavenly Dao, some extinct races might even be resurrected.

After strolling through this secret realm for a while, Yuan Feng took Lu Ya to another place.

The Phoenix Clan had opened too many secret realms, and those located in the Immortal Volcano were only a portion of them.

Except for a few particularly important secret realms, all others were open to Lu Ya.

Compared to last time, Yuan Feng's feelings were different this time.

After all, last time it was just an avatar of Yuan Feng.

Furthermore, this time Yuan Feng observed Lu Ya's Golden Immortal cultivation, yet he seemed unfathomable in many ways.

Yuan Feng did not believe that Lu Ya was merely at the Golden Immortal level.

Few below the Grand Unity level could defeat Vermillion Bird.

And those who could easily defeat Vermillion Bird were at least Grand Unity level.

Vermillion Bird, who had fought with Lu Ya, had the right to speak.

According to Vermillion Bird, Lu Ya's Magic Power was not inferior to Yuan Feng's.

Yuan Feng was an unadulterated Grand Unity Golden Immortal; not only had her Body Cultivation and Primordial Spirit Cultivation reached the Grand Unity level, but she had also attained the Grand Unity Dao Fruit.

Throughout the Primordial Era, Yuan Feng was among the top-tier experts.

After visiting several secret realms in succession, Lu Ya suddenly looked into the distance.

The distance was filled with bizarre phenomena, space-time was in chaos, and several Great Thousand Worlds were being restrained by void power.

There were also dimensional shifts and faintly visible Primordial Spiritual Light.

Talisman formations formed from Innate Li Fire were densely packed.

They formed restrictions and constituted Array Formations.

"That is..." Lu Ya turned to look at Yuan Feng.

In fact, looking at the scene in the distance, Lu Ya had already understood a little.

"To accelerate the gestation of an Innate Spiritual Treasure," Yuan Feng said nonchalantly.

Yuan Feng didn't elaborate, but Lu Ya understood.

In the distance was the embryo of an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

If it were allowed to gestate naturally, it would take countless Epochs.

And Innate Spiritual Treasures were rare and hard to come by.

Even a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure would be of great help to the Phoenix Clan.

Therefore, accelerating the gestation of Innate Spiritual Treasures was only natural.

The origins of several Great Thousand Worlds were used to nourish the primordial embryo.

This would lead to the destruction of several Great Thousand Worlds, but was it a big deal for the Phoenix Clan?

It was a trivial matter.

Moreover, the primordial embryo in the distance was quite powerful, capable of gestating a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

To bring a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure into existence sooner, what was the destruction of a few Great Thousand Worlds?

However, the dimensions of Great Thousand Worlds were not necessarily on par with the Primordial Era.

Three of the Great Thousand Worlds in the distance had dimensions that could not match the Primordial Era.

Thus, a group of Phoenix Clan strong experts joined forces, set up an array, and mobilized the power of heaven and earth to elevate the dimensions of the Great Thousand Worlds.

However, how easy was it to elevate the dimensions of a Great Thousand World? Even by a little.

Therefore, it had already been ongoing for ten thousand years in the distance.

As the Phoenix Clan developed and grew stronger, elevating the dimensions of the Great Thousand Worlds would become increasingly easier.

For the countless beings in those Great Thousand Worlds, it was cruel and unfair.

But weakness was the original sin.

Why should you care if we destroy you?

The value of several Great Thousand Worlds in the eyes of the Phoenix Clan was their ability to bring forth a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure ahead of time.

After observing for a while, Lu Ya withdrew his gaze.

Sympathy?

Did humans pity ants?

With different life levels and positions, their mindsets and perspectives also changed.

It had to be said that nourishing a primordial embryo with the origins of Great Thousand Worlds was something few in the Primordial Era could accomplish.

This also showed the power of the Phoenix Clan.

Speaking of which, only the Dragon Race was slightly stronger than the Phoenix Clan.

The Kirin Clan below Buzhou Mountain was slightly inferior to the Phoenix Clan.

As for the Fierce Beasts, they were a scattered mess, barely qualifying as a single race.

From a racial perspective, the current Phoenix Clan could be considered the second strongest in the Primordial Era.

With Lu Ya's addition to the Phoenix Clan, their strength had increased further.

What? Would nourishing a primordial embryo with the origins of Great Thousand Worlds be considered over-cultivation?

For the embryo of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, if you can over-cultivate it, then you're capable.

Once one understood what an Innate Spiritual Treasure was, they would realize how difficult it was to apply the term "over-cultivation" to a primordial embryo.

At least, the current Phoenix Clan found it very difficult to do so.

Time flew by, and years passed.

Several decades had quietly gone by.

Lu Ya had been at the Immortal Volcano for decades.

During these decades, Yuan Feng familiarized him with the Immortal Volcano and also told him about many aspects of the Phoenix Clan.

Of course, the core secrets of the Phoenix Clan had not yet been revealed to Lu Ya.

Yuan Feng's regard for Lu Ya was evident, treating him with great courtesy.

This also surprised many beings in the Immortal Volcano.

Even Grand Unity level experts could not see through Lu Ya.

Some high-ranking members of the Phoenix Clan also privately asked Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng then revealed a little to the clan's high-ranking members.

The news that Lu Ya was a Grand Unity level expert spread like wildfire.

Being of the same level as Yuan Feng was enough to make the Phoenix Clan's high-ranking members revere him.

Even if his strength was not comparable to Yuan Feng's, as long as they were of the same level, the gap would not be too large.

And what did a Grand Unity level expert joining the Phoenix Clan signify?

The clan leader's courtesy towards Lu Ya was completely understandable.

Lu Ya could clearly feel the change in attitude of many beings in the Phoenix Clan towards him.

Initially, there were mostly curious individuals, but gradually, more and more showed him reverence.

After all, in the Primordial Era, the weak bowed and the strong flourished; strength determined status.

However, there were many speculations about Lu Ya's origins.

Some believed Lu Ya attained his Dao through the Innate Li Fire Essence.

As for whether Lu Ya was a flying bird, that remained unknown.

Even Yuan Feng was curious about Lu Ya's origins, but she couldn't bring herself to ask directly.

Although Lu Ya had joined the Phoenix Clan, and thus was subordinate to Yuan Feng, she still felt it inappropriate to rashly inquire about his background.

Asking about someone's origins was a major taboo.

During these decades at the Immortal Volcano, Lu Ya lived a relaxed and comfortable life.

Every day, he explored the mountains and rivers.

In the evenings, he would sit with Yuan Feng and discuss the Dao.

His relationship with Yuan Feng had grown much closer.

It was only because Yuan Feng believed Lu Ya possessed Grand Unity level cultivation that she was willing to treat him as an equal.

For those at the Grand Unity level, Yuan Feng would at least acknowledge them.
