Primordial Phoenix Visits

Fifty Yuan Hui had passed in the blink of an eye.

After all these years, the Myriad Races of the Great Desolation had finally recovered some of their vitality. Many new living beings had also been born.

However, this new batch of born beings could not compare in foundation or cultivation to those who had perished in the great war. Many were merely at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

After all, the previous batch of beings, whether strong or weak, were more or less connected to the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods who had fallen before, or to Pangu himself. The newly born batch now belonged to several generations removed.

Naturally, their foundations could not rival those of the past. This situation would only weaken further as time passed.

But regardless, the various regions of the Great Desolation were no longer as desolate as they had been right after the war.

During these fifty Yuan Hui, there had been some conflicts between the Myriad Races and the Fierce Beasts, but under the restraint of the leaders on both sides, these conflicts had not escalated.

Cuiwei, Han Su, and the others had, over these years, buried deep in their hearts the grief of losing the other child attendants. Instead, they turned sorrow into motivation. With the help of Heavenly Dao Merit, they had broken through one after another.

Cuiwei and Han Su had surged ahead, now having broken through to the early stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. The Great Dao Fruits they had condensed were not the perfect twelve-grade, but they were still nine-grade.

Though only nine-grade, this was enough for Cuiwei and Han Su to look down upon the entire Great Desolation. At present, aside from those Ancestors who had inherited most of their previous lives' origins, Cuiwei and Han Su could truly say that no one else could match them.

In fact, even now, Cuiwei and Han Su found it hard to believe. In their expectations, given their foundations and blessings, they would have been lucky to reach six-grade at most. They never imagined they could condense a nine-grade Great Dao Fruit.

Yet they had a faint premonition that it was likely their Master who had intervened.

Aside from Cuiwei and Han Su, the other child attendants had also progressed quickly. Most were at the late stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, with a few breaking through to the peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

This pace was undeniably fast. Even faster than when they were in the Hong Yuan Realm.

Of course, this was not because the Great Desolation was more suitable for cultivation than the Hong Yuan Realm. On the contrary, the cultivation speed in the Hong Yuan Realm was many times faster than in the Great Desolation.

It was just that certain experiences and insights could not be gained through mere relentless training.

On this day, the figure of Primordial Phoenix suddenly appeared at the foot of Zhou Mountain. She bowed slightly to Zhou Mountain before speaking softly: "Primordial Phoenix seeks an audience with the Dao Venerable."

When Hong Yuan, who was in the Hong Yuan Realm, saw Primordial Phoenix, he was somewhat surprised. What did Primordial Phoenix want with him?

Still, he waved his hand and directly brought her before him.

In an instant, Primordial Phoenix felt her vision blur, and she suddenly appeared in front of Hong Yuan. But the next moment, she was stunned by the gentle and incredibly clear Great Dao Laws surrounding her.

Those Great Dao Laws were like a warm spring, continuously pouring into her body. The comfort was such that Primordial Phoenix could not snap out of it for a long time.

Hong Yuan watched her fall into enlightenment and did not call her back. He simply sat quietly in place, occasionally sipping a cup of clear tea.

No one knew how long passed before Primordial Phoenix finally awakened from her enlightenment. The first thing she saw upon waking was Hong Yuan before her.

This caused a few blushes to appear on her cheeks. To be so rude in front of the Dao Venerable! She hurriedly bowed and apologized in fear: "Primordial Phoenix has been discourteous. I beg the Dao Venerable to forgive my offense."

Seeing this, Hong Yuan waved his hand and said with a light smile: "No matter. It's not just you. Even Ancestor Yang Mei acts the same way when he comes to my dojo. I'm used to it."

Primordial Phoenix's red lips parted slightly in surprise at his words. She hadn't expected even Ancestor Yang Mei to be so undignified!

"By the way, the Fierce Beast Kalpa has not yet passed. Why aren't you cultivating properly? What brings you to me today?"

Hearing this, Primordial Phoenix quickly took out many treasures she had collected over the years. Placing everything before Hong Yuan, she lowered her eyes and spoke softly: "Thanks to the Dao Venerable's grace, the batch of young Phoenixes in my clan has been born, and many Phoenix Fruits have also ripened. I know the Dao Venerable may not lack such trifles, but I still wish to express my gratitude for your kindness to my Phoenix Clan."

At this, she paused briefly: "If not for you, Dao Venerable, I would have perished during the Formation Assembly three Kalpas ago."

Hong Yuan looked at the items Primordial Phoenix had brought out and could not help but feel a bit moved. It seemed she had brought everything of value from her Phoenix Clan, including several Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and spiritual plants.

Though he cared little for such things, if these were placed outside, they would surely stir up a bloody storm.

Although he didn't really need them, after a moment's deliberation, Hong Yuan decided to accept these gifts. He then spoke to the young girl outside the main hall: "Zi Qiao, why haven't you come in yet to properly store the honored guest's gifts?"

Upon hearing Hong Yuan's words, Primordial Phoenix couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

She had truly been afraid that Hong Yuan would look down on the things she had brought.

Zi Qiao, who had been standing outside the main hall, immediately scurried in with eager little steps.

She was that same young girl who always had the phrase about stuffing an enemy's head into a steel door on her lips.

Her original form was an orchid within the Hong Yuan Realm.

Although her name was quite pleasant to hear, the other face hidden beneath her demure and obedient exterior made even Hong Yuan reluctant to admit she was his young attendant.

When Zi Qiao saw Primordial Phoenix, she felt a flicker of surprise.

This was the first time she had seen anyone other than Ancestor Yang Mei come to her Master's Dojo.

But, ever mindful of propriety, she knew when to speak and when to keep silent.

So she obediently gathered up all the items Primordial Phoenix had taken out.

There was not a trace of disdain on her face for these so-called treasures.

If she had never ventured out into the Primordial Wilderness, she might have thought that Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures were nothing special.

Precious, yes, but surely not too few in number.

At the very least, every Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal ought to have one, right??

But after this trip, she realized how terribly wrong she had been.

To put it plainly, not a single enemy she had encountered possessed a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Even the strongest among them, a late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, only wielded a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Only then did she understand just how precious the treasures in her own hands truly were.

And it wasn't just her—the other young attendants felt the same way.

It was then that they realized just how formidable their Master was, far more so than they had ever imagined.

Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures were like mere odds and ends to him, too numerous to even count.
