Hong Huang knew no years.
Many years had passed since the battle in which the Flying Birds, Walking Beasts, and Scaled Creatures tribes besieged the Phoenix Clan.
During those years,
the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan had suffered heavy losses because of what happened back then, and had been recuperating ever since.
The Avian Alliance had once again fallen apart after the Chongming Bird's death.
Demon Ancestor Luohu had merely continued refining his plans, without making any rash moves.
It could be said that
ever since the battle in which the Phoenix Clan was besieged,
Hong Huang, which had once been in utter chaos, had returned to peace.
The only difference was...
the Tribulation Qi in the void above Hong Huang had grown countless times denser.
All it needed was an opportunity
for this seemingly endless Tribulation Qi to erupt completely.
When that happened, the Dragon-Han Tribulation would break out in full.
However,
not a single Primordial Being could sense the Tribulation Qi in the void.
Even Ling Tian, who knew Hong Huang's history well, and Hongjun, who had a profound understanding of Heaven's will, were no exception!
Then, one day,
powerful signs suddenly appeared above the Southern Ming Undying Volcano...
Southern Ming Undying Volcano.
Yuanfeng, who had been in seclusion, abruptly raised her head.
Feeling this disturbance,
Yuanfeng's eyes showed shock, along with a hint of reminiscence.
"Qing Luan, it looks like those two little ones in my belly are about to take shape."
"What?"
Qing Luan froze. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly looked up at the void.
There, in the open sky,
two Spiritual Energy Vortices had appeared.
At first, each of the two vortices covered only ten thousand mu.
But they began expanding wildly at a staggering speed.
One hundred thousand mu!
Five hundred thousand mu!
One million mu!
Five million mu!
Ten million mu!
The two Spiritual Energy Vortices kept growing until they reached ten million mu each, then abruptly stopped.
Two Spiritual Energy Vortices, each ten million mu across!
What did this mean?
It meant that two more Supreme Grade Innate Beings had appeared in the Phoenix Clan.
When countless Great Experts across Hong Huang sensed this,
their jaws nearly hit the floor.
Who could have imagined
that after the monstrous Ling Tian,
the Phoenix Clan would give birth to two more Supreme Grade Innate Beings?
That meant, counting Ling Tian and Yuanfeng,
the Phoenix Clan had four Supreme Grade Innate Beings.
In terms of the number of Supreme Grade Innate Beings,
the Phoenix Clan had left the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan far behind.
Exclamations rang out across every corner of Hong Huang.
"The Phoenix Clan has gained two more Supreme Grade Innate Beings. Its fortune is flourishing."
"If the Phoenix Clan is given enough time to grow, it may leave the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan completely behind and become Hong Huang's greatest clan!"
"They say the Phoenix Clan is the Destined Clan. Perhaps that isn't just a rumor, but the truth!"
"Unless something unexpected happens, the Phoenix Clan's rise is inevitable."
"The heavens over Hong Huang are about to change!"
Countless voices rang out across Hong Huang.
Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin had naturally sensed all of this as well.
As the Phoenix Clan's sworn enemies,
Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin both looked grim.
As far as they were concerned,
the Phoenix Clan, protected by the Innate Chaos Grand Array, was already invincible.
That meant Ling Tian and these two newly emerged Supreme Grade Innate Beings
had more than enough time to grow.
Once they had fully matured and reached the peak of their power,
the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan would be in serious trouble.
But the Dragon Clan and the Kirin Clan had been badly weakened by the previous battle.
There was no point in rashly emerging from seclusion.
They could only silently build up their strength.
Meanwhile,
the signs above the Southern Ming Undying Volcano had reached their peak.
The two ten-million-mu Spiritual Energy Vortices merged into a gigantic funnel and poured into the Southern Ming Undying Volcano.
Just as the Spiritual Energy Vortex vanished completely,
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Two strong heartbeats suddenly rang out.
In the void, a stream of Five Elements Qi and a stream of Yin-Yang Qi suddenly appeared.
They were the manifestations of the Five Elements Law and the Yin-Yang Law.
Though their manifestations were far weaker than they had been during Ling Tian's birth,
the fact that Law Power had appeared as these two were taking shape
proved how great their talent for comprehending laws was.
When everyone saw this,
all of Hong Huang seemed to fall silent.
At the same time,
a thought rose uncontrollably in the hearts of countless Primordial Beings...
The Phoenix Clan truly was the Destined Clan!
But they didn't know that...
Although Kong Xuan and Great Peng had astonishing talent,
without Ling Tian's help,
their own natural gifts would never have been enough to give them the foundation they had now.
Inside the Southern Ming Undying Volcano,
many members of the Phoenix Clan had gathered outside Yuanfeng's Cave Mansion.
They had all been roused by the signs in the void and come here.
"May I ask, Clan Leader, were the signs in the void caused by the children in your belly?"
Golden Phoenix King, who stood at the head of the group, bowed respectfully. His eyes plainly brimmed with joy and anticipation.
Golden Phoenix King and the other Phoenix Clan Great Experts had already guessed the truth.
All they needed was Yuanfeng's confirmation.
Just after Golden Phoenix King finished speaking,
Yuanfeng's fiery-red figure appeared before them for the first time in a long while.
At that very moment,
Yuanfeng could barely contain her delight.
She hadn't expected
that the two children following Ling Tian
would also have such a powerful foundation.
Though they were far from Ling Tian's level,
they were already no weaker than Yuanfeng had been back then.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Yuanfeng couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Golden Phoenix King, you guessed right."
"The signs in the void were caused by my second and third sons."
After a pause,
Yuanfeng looked at Golden Phoenix King with a teasing glint in her eyes.
"Elder Golden Phoenix King, are you still going to pressure me to find a Dao partner?"
Golden Phoenix King: "..."
Golden Phoenix King's old face flushed red.
He hadn't expected the blunt Yuanfeng to still remember that.
Golden Phoenix King had forgotten...
No matter how blunt Yuanfeng was,
she was still a woman!
Holding a grudge was a woman's nature.
Golden Phoenix King stood there dumbfounded, at a complete loss for words. He was so embarrassed he nearly tried to dig out a cave mansion with his toes.
Seeing the awkward look on Golden Phoenix King's face,
the Phoenix Clan Great Experts were delighted, but didn't dare laugh aloud. Each of them struggled to hold it in until their faces turned red.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly,
a laugh rang out.
In the end, Saintess Qing Luan couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Then,
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Yuanfeng and all the Phoenix Clan Great Experts couldn't help throwing their heads back and laughing.
They laughed with unrestrained joy.
The Phoenix Clan had gained two more Crown Princes with deep foundations.
It was a great occasion for the entire Phoenix Clan.
A day worth raising a glass to!
Inside Yuanfeng's belly,
the moment Kong Xuan and Great Peng took shape,
Ling Tian's Primordial Spirit withdrew from them.
Over the years,
Ling Tian had watched Kong Xuan and Great Peng grow, little by little.
Their foundations
were clearest to him.
Kong Xuan and Great Peng owed their deep foundations in large part to Ling Tian.
But Ling Tian hadn't given without gaining anything.
The instant his Primordial Spirit returned,
Ling Tian was struck by a sudden insight, and couldn't help murmuring...
"I'm about to break through!"
