Southern Volcano, Visiting Yuan Feng!

After fully refining his own Merit, Xie Fang spent another ten thousand years refining all the Sha Qi within the Nine Demon Pagoda.

This greatly increased the power of the Nine Demon Pagoda!

Afterward, Xie Fang did not wander about aimlessly but instead planned to hold another sermon on the Three Immortal Islands.

During his first sermon, he had been at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, helping the beings on the Three Immortal Islands awaken their intelligence.

Now, his sermon would naturally focus on the path of cultivation.

"When Pangu split Heaven and Earth, at the dawn of creation, I was among the first batch of primordial beings. Today, I have attained the Quasi-Saint Dao and mastered supreme wondrous methods. I shall spread the Dao to Heaven and Earth, transforming all living things. Those with affinity may come and listen!"

Leisurely Dao tones echoed across the Three Immortal Islands.

It was not that Xie Fang did not wish to benefit the Primordial Races, but he felt it was unnecessary.

Moreover, aside from the beings on the Three Immortal Islands, all others would eventually become Xie Fang's harvest. If he taught them the Dao, it would inevitably entangle him in karmic ties with them—a loss outweighing gain.

Thus, it was better to confine the scope to the Three Immortal Islands.

The beings on the Three Immortal Islands, having undergone Xie Fang's first sermon, had long since awakened their intelligence in countless numbers and naturally understood the wonders of cultivation.

Now that Xie Fang's Dao tones resounded once more, they were instantly stirred with excitement, swarming toward Xie Fang's residence in a frenzy.

On Penglai Immortal Island, tens of thousands of beings quickly gathered, noisy and bustling, packed shoulder to shoulder.

"Roar—!"

At that moment, a heaven-shaking Qilin roar rang out. Then, Xie Fang, stepping on Mo Wu, appeared before the crowd.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

All the beings shouted in unison, prostrating themselves.

Xie Fang nodded, signaling Mo Wu to stop to the side. Then, with a flash of white light, Xie Fang seated himself on the Pure World White Lotus and slowly began his Dao tones.

"The path of cultivation is endless and infinite. Today, I preach the Dao here, letting you all understand the profundity of the Dao."

As the Dao tones rang out, boundless Spiritual Qi gathered on the Three Immortal Islands, transforming into lotus blossoms. Dazzling Dao runes flickered, and all beings were immersed in a state of enlightenment, listening to Xie Fang's sermon.

This sermon lasted another ten thousand years.

Xie Fang ended the sermon, looking with satisfaction at the tens of thousands of beings below.

Each of them was like a statue, motionless, completely absorbed in the wondrous Dao.

Although Xie Fang's sermon had ended, its lingering echoes persisted, refusing to fade, so much so that the tens of thousands of beings remained immersed in enlightenment, unable to break free.

This showed just how great an allure Xie Fang's teachings held for them.

Since the beings had not yet awakened, Xie Fang did not disturb them. After making a round of the Three Immortal Islands, he decided to visit the Primordial Continent to see how things were.

Tens of thousands of years had passed since Huang Ni's fall. He wondered how the Primordial Heaven and Earth had recovered.

Xie Fang returned to the sermon site, woke Mo Wu from his enlightened state, and left the Three Immortal Islands with him.

Mo Wu was his mount. Last time, due to the Ferocious Beast Tribulation, it had been inconvenient to bring him along, given his low strength.

Now that the Ferocious Beast Tribulation was over, there was no way he would let this kid laze around on the island enjoying himself.

Besides, if he missed the sermon, Xie Fang could always give it again later.

Moreover, this kid's Cultivation Base had already reached the peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, just one step away from Form Manifestation into human form and achieving Zenith Heaven!

By taking him out this time, Xie Fang also intended to help him cross that threshold!

After the Ferocious Beast Clan was wiped out tens of thousands of years ago, the Primordial Three Races expanded their influence and completely divided the Primordial Heaven and Earth among themselves.

After tens of thousands of years of recovery, the strength of the Primordial Three Races had greatly increased.

However, their current territories could no longer satisfy their appetites, so they set their sights on the other two races.

The Primordial Three Races were outwardly united but inwardly divided, with constant friction beneath the surface.

After Xie Fang rode Mo Wu out of the Three Immortal Islands, he came to the southern part of the Primordial Continent, a place he had never set foot in before.

The southern part of the Primordial Continent was the Undying Volcano, the stronghold of the Phoenix Clan.

When Mo Wu carried Xie Fang to the Southern Volcano, he was utterly dumbfounded.

The Southern Volcano was the territory of the Phoenix Clan, and Mo Wu was a Qilin!

Given the current relations between the two races, Mo Wu was certain that if he set foot in Phoenix Clan territory, he would be killed on the spot!

He had to admit, ever since following his master, although he no longer suffered bullying from the Qilin within his own clan, he couldn't help but feel that his master had a habit of stirring up trouble!

This kind of life was way too thrilling!

"Mo Wu, your strength has now reached the peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, just one step away from achieving Zenith Heaven. You need a small opportunity now."

Xie Fang looked at the Undying Volcano in the distance and spoke calmly.

Mo Wu's heart skipped a beat, suddenly sensing a bad premonition.

"Master... you don't mean to have me cultivate in the Undying Volcano, do you?"

Mo Wu's eyes went wide, his face full of innocence as he looked at Xie Fang: "I've served on the Three Immortal Islands all these years—even without merit, I've put in the effort..."

"What nonsense!"

Xie Fang kicked Mo Wu over with one foot: "This Southern Undying Volcano is filled with violent fire elements. Though it can't compare to the Solar Star, it's still a decent place to temper the body!"

"You'll stay here and cultivate properly. If you don't reach Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal by the time you leave seclusion, I'll roast you!"

Mo Wu, kicked straight into the volcano by Xie Fang, shuddered all over at these words.

He didn't dare doubt the truth of Xie Fang's words, and besides, Xie Fang was doing this for his own good. Mo Wu could only force a bitter face and say, "Yes, this subordinate obeys. Master, don't forget to come pick me up..."

Being left alone in the Phoenix Clan's territory felt like sitting on pins and needles, so he was deeply worried his master would forget about him.

"Get lost and cultivate already!"

Xie Fang waved his hand, speaking with some impatience.

But in his heart, he actually cared quite a bit for Mo Wu—otherwise, he wouldn't have brought him here.

While Mo Wu cultivated, Xie Fang didn't idle either. He went straight into the heart of the Phoenix Clan's territory.

Back in the day, he had some friendship with Yuan Feng. Thanks to Yuan Feng's goodwill, even though Xie Fang had no use for it, he still felt it necessary to come and pay his respects.

"Hm? Xie Fang?"

Just as Xie Fang entered the Phoenix Clan's heartland, Yuan Feng, who had been in secluded cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes, somewhat surprised.

Back then, Xie Fang had snatched the spiritual treasure in full view of everyone. Though Yuan Feng didn't care much, he never expected Xie Fang to dare swagger into the Phoenix Clan.

After a moment's thought, Yuan Feng immediately halted his cultivation, tore through space, and flew out.

He wanted to see just what Xie Fang's purpose was in coming here.
