In the Primordial World, years went uncounted.
Many years had passed since the birth of the Great Sun Heavenly Dragon.
For many Primordial Beings, the magnificent scene of Ancestral Dragon hosting a grand feast for the Primordial World still lingered vividly in their minds.
By seizing this opportunity, the Dragon Clan's influence in the Primordial World had surged dramatically.
They had faintly surpassed the Kirin Clan and Phoenix Clan, becoming the greatest clan in the Primordial World.
The Qilin Clan was deeply displeased by this.
Yet they made no move, as though waiting for a certain moment.
Meanwhile, news of Phoenix Clan leader Yuan Feng's pregnancy had become known throughout the Primordial World.
However, with the Sacred Kirin and Great Sun Heavenly Dragon as dazzling precedents, the Primordial World Beings paid little attention to the child in Yuan Feng's womb.
Whenever it was mentioned, there was more disdain than anything else.
A rumor still quietly circulated through the Primordial World.
It said that the child in Yuan Feng's womb might not even possess the origin of an Innate Being.
Moreover, the Phoenix Clan had never stepped forward to explain.
As a result, the Phoenix Clan's momentum had suffered considerably over the years.
Southern Ming Undying Volcano.
Over these years, Ling Tian within Yuan Feng's womb had remained in seclusion, showing no sign of awakening.
Yet the Spiritual Energy Vortex above Southern Ming Undying Volcano had grown ever more vast.
The sound of a heartbeat emanating from Yuan Feng's womb had also become increasingly powerful.
All of this signified
that the origin of the child in Yuan Feng's womb was steadily improving.
This filled countless Phoenix Clan members with boundless anticipation.
Though they had not thought highly of Ling Tian before, judging by the current situation, Ling Tian's origin had surely reached the level of an Innate Being, perhaps even surpassed it.
Moreover, the phenomenon in the void was still continuously intensifying.
If this continued, then even if Ling Tian's origin could not compare to the Great Sun Heavenly Dragon's, it would certainly not be lacking!
This filled the Phoenix Clan with joy as they silently awaited Ling Tian's birth...
When that time came, as Yuan Feng's only descendant, Ling Tian would undoubtedly become the Phoenix Clan's Crown Prince!
Only the Fire Phoenix King differed from the rest of the Phoenix Clan.
As the phenomenon lingering in the void grew ever stronger, the resentment in the Fire Phoenix King's heart deepened by the day.
Unfortunately, the Fire Phoenix King was merely a top-tier Great Luo. The gap between him and a Primordial Golden Immortal was like a heavenly chasm.
No matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do.
Yet the Fire Phoenix King's existence had planted a hidden danger within the Phoenix Clan.
Even the Fire Phoenix King himself did not know
that he had already become one of the... candidate chess pieces on Rahu's vast board.
All in all, over these years, the Phoenix Clan seemed to have sealed off their mountain, turning a deaf ear to the outside world.
Yet though the Phoenix Clan kept aloof from worldly strife, trouble would still come knocking of its own accord!
This day.
Outside the Southern Ming Undying Volcano, two golden figures, one large and one small, silently appeared.
The one in front was none other than the Dragon Clan chief who had been rising to prominence in recent years—Ancestral Dragon!
Then the golden figure behind Ancestral Dragon was naturally his direct son...
Great Sun Heavenly Dragon!
"Ao Yue, this is the Phoenix Clan's ancestral land, the Southern Ming Undying Volcano!"
Ancestral Dragon spoke slowly, a trace of possessiveness flashing through his eyes.
By now, Ancestral Dragon had already reached the pinnacle of the Primordial World.
Yet Ancestral Dragon's ambitions did not end there!
If he could defeat the Phoenix Clan and the Kirin Clan, then the Dragon Clan would thoroughly become the strongest race in the Primordial World.
And as chief of the Dragon Clan, Ancestral Dragon might even use this chance to attain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.
A Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin!
Since the Primordial World had first been opened, not a single one had appeared.
If he, Ancestral Dragon, could become the first...
At that thought, the desire in Ancestral Dragon's eyes was nearly impossible to conceal as he called out loudly.
"I am Ancestral Dragon. I heard that Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng is with child!"
"Today, I have brought my son Ao Yue to offer congratulations!"
"I ask Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng to come out and meet me!"
Ancestral Dragon's voice transformed into a vast and mighty Dao Sound, resounding through the nine heavens and ten lands.
Countless Primordial Beings awakened from their seclusion upon hearing Ancestral Dragon's voice.
Ancestral Dragon had brought Great Sun Heavenly Dragon to congratulate Yuan Feng on her pregnancy?
The meaning behind it needed no explanation!
"Ancestral Dragon deliberately brought Great Sun Heavenly Dragon here to slap the Phoenix Clan in the face, didn't he?"
"Ancestral Dragon is really sly and rotten to the core. With Yuan Feng's fiery temper, won't she be hopping mad?"
"If that madwoman goes mad, just how terrifying will it be?"
"If Yuan Feng and Ancestral Dragon start a great battle, innocent fish will suffer in the pond!"
"No, we need to relocate our clan at once, or we'll face the danger of extermination!"
"All members, relocate immediately!"
One word stirred up a thousand waves!
Some Primordial Beings watched eagerly for a spectacle.
But some clans near the Southern Ming Undying Volcano hurriedly organized the migration of their entire clans, terrified of being caught in the crossfire!
One had to know, Yuan Feng and Ancestral Dragon were both Primordial Golden Immortals.
If they truly fought, the sheer terror of it was simply unimaginable.
Yet Rahu of the Devil Race, within the Western Ancestral Vein, revealed a smug smile.
Ancestral Dragon's visit to Yuan Feng
was likewise one of Rahu of the Devil Race's schemes.
When countless members of the Phoenix Clan heard Ancestral Dragon's voice, every one of them wore an indignant expression.
Thunder Phoenix King, hot-tempered as thunder itself, did not hesitate before preparing to charge into the void and confront Ancestral Dragon.
But at that moment, a clear phoenix cry rang out across heaven and earth.
A figure draped in multicolored rosy light slowly manifested in the void.
Then she transformed into a graceful silhouette...
It was none other than the Phoenix Clan's Saintess, Qing Luan.
Qing Luan gave Ancestral Dragon a slight nod. "Qing Luan greets Ancestral Dragon!"
At the sight of Qing Luan's appearance.
The unrest within the Phoenix Clan immediately subsided.
Qing Luan was the Saintess of the Phoenix Clan, her cultivation having reached the Early Stage Primordial Golden Immortal.
Her status within the Phoenix Clan was only slightly below Yuan Feng's.
One phoenix beneath her, ten thousand phoenixes above!
Meanwhile.
The moment Ancestral Dragon saw Qing Luan appear, an inexplicable glint flashed through his eyes, and his expression darkened slightly.
"Hmph! Yuan Feng certainly puts on grand airs!"
"I came here this time because I heard Yuan Feng was pregnant, specially bringing my son to offer congratulations."
"Yet Yuan Feng is so arrogant that she will not even show her face!"
Ancestral Dragon's voice rang clearly in the hearts of countless Primordial Beings.
Ancestral Dragon was the Dragon Clan's patriarch.
He had personally come to pay a visit.
By all reason, Yuan Feng should have personally received him.
Though Qing Luan held great authority, she was still somewhat unqualified for the task.
But anyone with eyes could see that Ancestral Dragon had come with ill intent!
And the way Ancestral Dragon had made such a grand spectacle of it, as though afraid others would not know he had come to trouble Yuan Feng...
Only deepened the doubts in the hearts of countless primordial cultivators.
Could it be that Ancestral Dragon had some other scheme in mind?
Like those Primordial Beings.
A trace of puzzlement also flashed through Qing Luan's beautiful eyes.
She did not know what medicine Ancestral Dragon was selling in his gourd, so she could only reply calmly.
"Lord Ancestral Dragon, you flatter us!"
"Upon learning of Lord Ancestral Dragon's arrival, the Clan Leader has already begun preparing to emerge from seclusion."
"Please follow me into the clan and wait a moment, Lord Ancestral Dragon."
As she spoke.
Qing Luan waved her slender hand.
The Phoenix Clan Mountain-Protecting Array silently opened a deep, shadowy gateway...
