Phoenix Perch Bird Scenery, Hundred Birds Group

Houtu remained silent, while Feng Xi, a nobody, watched with wide eyes.

With Dijiang, a being of profound power who deeply understood the personalities and strengths of the Great Divine Ability Users in the Primordial Era, offering commentary, it was of great significance for Feng Xi to truly begin to understand and engage with that circle.

If before he could only speculate based on a pile of information of uncertain truth, with distorted images of the many divine beings of the Primordial Era constructed in his heart, then now, with the confirmed inside story, he would be incredibly close!

And the closer he got, the more similar... Perhaps one day in the future, there would be unexpected gains.

"This trip to Phoenix Perch Mountain, Nuwa is not a concern," Dijiang gazed into the distance. "But Fuxi... the Xi Huang, will be a very troublesome opponent."

"However, this makes it more interesting..." he suddenly chuckled. "Always bullying weaklings gets boring after a while."

"Only a divine being like Fuxi, with his supreme wisdom and astonishing talent, can provide me with a truly exhilarating duel... Don't you think so, Houtu?"

"Heh heh... As long as you're happy," Houtu smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Feng Xi watched from the side, feeling that Ancestral Witch Houtu's smile was a bit forced, a bit fake, the kind of smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"Now, accelerate towards Phoenix Perch Mountain!" Ancestral Witch Dijiang commanded. Under his will, the speed of the entourage climbed to a whole new level.

Finally, after a period of time had passed, a vast expanse of rolling mountains appeared at the end of their sight, as if heralding their arrival at their destination.

The reason for saying so was entirely because – the closer they got, the more divine and exotic birds they could see!

Birds of all kinds with resplendent and dazzling feathers gathered around that seemingly boundless and vast mountain range as their core territory... This was something that couldn't be seen anywhere else.

Fenghuang, Qing Luan, Vermilion Bird, Bi Fang Bird, Swan Goose, Great Wind Bird... Birds whose names they could utter and those whose names they couldn't, left Feng Xi dazzled.

But, this was not the end!

Perhaps it was the arrival of this Witch Clan procession that had startled the birds in the area... When one bird took flight in alarm, it triggered others.

In the end, within the vast mountains, countless divine birds took to the sky together, soaring into the clouds, obscuring the very heavens!

Under the irradiation of the golden sunlight, their feathers reflected and bloomed with the most beautiful radiance... Countless rays of light converged, transforming into a magnificent sea of colorful light!

The sea was boundless, stretching beyond the horizon, multi-colored, dreamlike, and hazy.

Divine and exotic birds soared and circled, like this sea undulating and surging, waves rolling through heaven and earth, making everything in sight seem unreal.

"Phoenix Perch Bird Scenery." Ancestral Witch Dijiang spoke leisurely, waking Feng Xi, who was somewhat immersed and entranced by the spectacle. "Among the ten thousand wonders of the Primordial Era, whether they are natural phenomena evolved by heaven and earth or marvels sculpted by the ancient divine beings over eons, this can rank in the top one hundred."

"No matter how many times I see it, it's always this pleasing to the eye."

Feng Xi blinked, nodding vigorously in agreement and affirmation.

"We've actually come at the wrong time; we can't see the most dreamlike and beautiful aspect of this scenery yet," Dijiang said with a smile. "If we wait for the day the Phoenix Tree Spiritual Root in Phoenix Perch Mountain blooms, the will of the Phoenix Progenitor, slumbering beneath the Phoenix Perch Mountain range, nirvana-bound and suppressing the immortal fire mai, will awaken, shining upon the world, leading all phoenixes to sing in unison, and a hundred birds to pay homage to the phoenix... That time will be a thousand times better than now!"

"Sir, have you seen it?" Feng Xi's heart yearned for it, wishing he could traverse time and space to witness it.

"Naturally," Dijiang said calmly. "Although the Phoenix Tree Spiritual Root hasn't bloomed in the past few hundred thousand years, it's said to have suffered a calamity. The king of music—Fuxi—chopped it down and used the phoenix wood to imitate the form of a phoenix to make a zither..."

--Fuxi saw phoenixes gather on the phoenix tree, so he imitated their form and carved the phoenix tree to make a zither!

"However, Grand Unity permeates time; the past, present, and future are all within... I went to past eras and witnessed the magnificent scene of the phoenix flowers blooming, phoenixes singing, and myriad birds paying homage." Dijiang sighed. "Such a magnificent sight can make one forget all pressure and worries..."

"Let the world know that in the Primordial Era, there isn't only cultivation, conquest, and warfare, but also the beauty jointly performed by heaven, earth, and living beings..."

"Then I must go out and see it when I have time in the future," Feng Xi's gaze was full of longing.

The world is so big, he wanted to see it.

"If you want to go, you should go sooner rather than later," Dijiang smiled. "Before the Witch-Demon War begins, while you still have the mood, the leisure, and... before these wonders are destroyed."

"Once they are destroyed, you will only be able to witness the firsthand magnificence and shock after you achieve Grand Unity."

"I understand," Feng Xi nodded repeatedly.

Suddenly, he discovered a blind spot, and his expression turned strange. "Great Sage Fuxi and Empress Nuwa's dojos are both on Phoenix Perch Mountain? And beneath Phoenix Perch Mountain, there's the progenitor of the phoenix?"

"In such a small area, there are three supreme Innate Divine Beings... Who is the landlord here?"

"Of course, it's the phoenix... Phoenix Perch Mountain, Phoenix Perch Mountain, isn't it already clear?" Ancestral Witch Dijiang glanced at him. "Actually, Fuxi and Nuwa, the siblings, originally had their dojos on Buzhou Mountain, and only later moved to the Phoenix Perch Mountain range."

"According to unofficial sources, Great Sage Nuwa felt that Buzhou Mountain was not very safe... As the Demon Emperor, how could their lair be next to the Witch Clan's base camp? How big must their heart be?"

"Moreover, through countless pieces of information gathered from the future, Buzhou Mountain would be broken by Ancestral Witch Gong Gong—whether Gong Gong's stubborn collision with the mountain was due to the Witch Clan's defeat or because he was forced by the Human King Zhuanxu."

"It's completely normal for Fuxi and Nuwa to choose to move."

"Would the phoenix lineage allow it? Sell their ancestral land?" Feng Xi mumbled.

"They couldn't refuse the fists of these two Great Sages, nor their financial resources... They had no choice but to give a piece of land to this pair of siblings." Dijiang shook his head. "However, thanks to the skills and abilities of Xi Huang among these two, the Hundred Birds Group of Phoenix Perch Mountain has been operated more and more prosperously in recent years. All the phoenixes, big and small, have made a fortune, shedding the business of renting out their clansmen to act cute or put on a show—if they do business, it's high-end, for female Great Divine Ability Users."

"Look now, most of the carriages are pulled by true dragons, nine at a time." Dijiang sighed, patting the carriage frame. "As for phoenix mounts, let alone being rare... most of the ones you see are solitary, at most three—and those are from branches of the phoenix lineage, like Qing Luan."

"Why?"

"They have money!"

"The phoenixes no longer look down on simple laborers... the price of labor has increased too much!" Dijiang lamented. "I rent nine true dragons long-term, and it's less than half the price of a phoenix of the same level!"

"Of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, almost only the Dragon Clan remains, relying on their main sustenance to operate their clan—anyway, they have a unique racial path. Any creature with a trace of dragon bloodline can evolve into a dragon postnatally, allowing the Dragon Clan to continuously expand."
