They had simply fallen into the trap set by Luohu and Hongjun.
Moreover, the three clans are now in the same boat, so there's nothing wrong with them showing respect to Yuanfeng.
"Senior Yuanfeng has truly gone through a lot to suppress the Undying Volcano in the Primordial Wilderness."
Poor Daoist here because I have deduced that Senior Yuanfeng's two sons have a master-disciple relationship with Poor Daoist.
Now that we have foreseen their imminent birth, we have come to accept Senior Yuanfeng's two offspring as our disciples.
This can be considered a reward for Senior Yuanfeng's contribution to suppressing the Undying Volcano in the Primordial Wilderness.
Would Senior Yuanfeng agree?
Taiqing didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose.
Taiqing was referring to his reward to Yuanfeng for suppressing the Undying Volcano.
This statement directly and explicitly states that they, as descendants of the Pangu Father God, are the masters of the Primordial Wilderness.
Only the host family will reciprocate the contributions of those who make them.
Yuanfeng had always intended for her offspring to serve under the Sanqing Ones.
Now that Taiqing, the eldest descendant of Pangu, has come to her door to take on disciples, she no longer hesitates.
"You three fellow Daoists are Poor Daoist kind to call Poor Daoist senior. Poor Daoist am merely a few years older than you all."
If it weren't for Fellow Taiqing Taiqing's kindness back then, Poor Daoist I would have perished in the Tribulation long ago.
My Phoenix Clan will likely suffer heavy casualties, with less than one in ten surviving, and may even be burdened with even more terrifying Karma/Sin.
I am unworthy of Poor Daoist a senior.
It would be better if you three fellow Poor Daoist treated me as an equal.
Poor Daoist had always intended for my two sons to become disciples of these three fellow Daoists.
It is a great opportunity for Poor Daoist two sons to become disciples of Fellow Daoist Taiqing.
Now that Fellow Taiqing has personally come to accept me as a disciple, how could I, Poor Daoist, refuse?
I will need to trouble Fellow Taiqing to take care of Poor Daoist two children in the future.
If you, Fellow Sanqing, ever need my assistance, please inform Feng Jiu, and Feng Jiu will relay Poor Daoist.
"Our Phoenix Clan will never refuse; we will certainly stand on the same side as Sanqing."
Yuanfeng not only agreed to Taiqing's request to take her as a disciple, but also directly stated her position.
They wanted to directly bind the entire Phoenix Clan to the Sanqing.
After so Eon, Yuanfeng had also seen through the schemes of all parties involved in the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity.
It wasn't just Luohu and the Old Thief Hongjun who plotted against the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans.
Even the supreme Heavenly Dao could find a trace of its scheming against the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans.
Taiqing can change the fate of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans.
And with so Eon passing, the development of the Primordial Wilderness also bears a trace of Taiqing liquidation.
The Sanqing Ones are descendants of the Great God Pangu.
When these events are pieced together, one can see the terror of the Taiqing.
This led Yuanfeng to make up her mind to tie herself to the Sanqing.
If she were to be bound to the Sanqing, perhaps her Phoenix Clan could regain its former glory, or even surpass it.
Furthermore, she might also seek out Demon Ancestor Rahu, Immortal Ancestor Hongjun, or even the Heavenly Dao.
It's not impossible that they would take stock of the debts they incurred by scheming against the Phoenix Clan back then.
She promised to export it, and even if the Sanqing didn't agree, the Phoenix Clan wouldn't suffer any loss.
With two of her own offspring serving under Taiqing, her Phoenix Clan wouldn't be too far behind in the future.
Moreover, Yuanfeng didn't believe that anyone in the Primordial Wilderness could refuse the allure of gaining the allegiance of such a powerful race as the Phoenix Clan.
In an instant, Sanqing saw through Yuanfeng's intentions behind this promise.
"It's not so much about being assigned a task, but rather about cooperation and mutual benefit. We'll work together to make the Primordial Wilderness a better and stronger place."
Just then, Poor Daoist noticed that the hidden dangers posed by this Undying Volcano are extremely terrifying.
Fellow Yuanfeng must also be able to sense that the longer the Undying Volcano is suppressed, the more terrifying the flame energy and other resources it accumulates become.
If this continues, one day Senior Yuanfeng and the Phoenix Clan will no longer be able to suppress the Undying Volcano.
If the Undying Volcano to erupt, the Phoenix Clan would likely suffer, and the entire Primordial Wilderness would be doomed as well.
It just so Poor Daoist my second and third brothers and I just had some ideas about the Undying Volcano.
From now on, we can cooperate to solve the hidden dangers of the Undying Volcano.
In this way, not only will the Phoenix Clan gain unimaginable merit, but it will also resolve the Phoenix Clan's future crisis.
Taiqing was blunt and immediately acted as if he were ordering the Phoenix Clan around.
Yuanfeng, who was still feeling uneasy, was completely bewildered by Taiqing's blunt and unceremonious manner.
"No? So fast? The missions are starting already?"
Without even the slightest hesitation? Poor Daoist still worried about whether I'll be accepted, and you've already assigned me the task?"
Inside the Undying Volcano, Yuanfeng was completely bewildered.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a decisive and straightforward approach, or rather, such a shameless approach.
After a brief silence, Yuanfeng snapped out of her daze and quickly agreed.
"What Fellow Daoist Taiqing said is correct."
Since the suppression of the Undying Volcano over so Eon, the fire energy accumulated within Undying Volcano has been increasing.
Suppression is indeed a temporary solution that does not address the root cause of the problem.
Even if the Undying Volcano were to erupt in the future, the damage it would cause to the Primordial Wilderness would be many times more terrifying than if it had not been suppressed.
If a feasible solution is not found, the entire prehistoric Primordial Wilderness may be turned into a wasteland by the eruption of the Undying Volcano.
Fellow Daoist Taiqing, please elaborate on your methods. My Phoenix Clan will absolutely not shirk our responsibility and will fully cooperate.
Even without merit, my Phoenix Clan will do our utmost.
Upon hearing that there was merit to be gained, Yuanfeng immediately became interested.
What's more, it's a great thing that can both resolve the Phoenix Clan's crisis and bring merit.
Taiqing hurriedly activated the Taiji Diagram, the Chaos Bell, and the Pangu Banner with his second and third brothers to conceal the Tian Ji here.
Seeing this, Yuanfeng from the Undying Volcano also Destiny/Luck the Phoenix Clan, a treasure of the Phoenix Staff's fortune, to conceal the Tian Ji.
"Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng should know about the Return Ruins deep within the Eastern Sea, right?"
Taiqing did not answer but asked a question instead.
"I do know about Poor Daoist Return Ruins then, Return Ruins caused considerable harm to the Dragon Clan."
Ancestral Dragon Zulong suppressed the water veins of the Four Seas in the Primordial Wilderness in order to reduce the speed at Primordial Wilderness Return Ruins devoured the water and spiritual energy of the Four Seas.
Its terrifying ability to devour the Primordial Wilderness Innate Spiritual Qi is such that even all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness combined cannot match it.
If it weren't for the fact that Return Ruins was constantly devouring Primordial Wilderness Innate Spiritual Qi and all things in the world...
The current Primordial Wilderness is certainly more than ten times more prosperous.
In fact, the dangers of this Return Ruins are no less than those of the Undying Volcano.
In my Poor Daoist opinion, the dangers of the Return Ruins are even more terrifying than those of the Undying Volcano.
Fellow Daoist Taiqing, is your question perhaps related to resolving the problem of the danger posed by this Undying Volcano?
Return Ruins was mentioned, Yuanfeng's voice was solemn.
"Oh? The Return Ruins are this terrifying?"
Currently, there are seventeen Primordial Hunyuan Celestial Venerable in the Great Desolation World.
Add to that all the beings, including Primordial Origin Golden Immortal and Quasi-Saints, and they're not even a fraction of what Return Ruins absorbed from the primordial Innate Spiritual Qi of the Primordial Wilderness?!
Although Taiqing had been to the Eastern Sea, he had never been to the place where Return Ruins was located. Upon hearing Yuanfeng's words, his expression changed.
"Brother, so in that case, the Return Ruins are one of the main culprits behind the Tribulation."
This demonstrates the terrifying extent to which Return Ruins devours Innate Spiritual Qi.
If we don't resolve the issue of Return Ruins, even if we open up the source of Primordial Wilderness primordial world and increase the speed at which the Great Desolation World transforms into Chaos Qi, it will be in vain.
It's not even enough for the Return Ruins to devour.
