"After Chaos first divided, heaven opened in the hour of the Rat, the earth took shape in the hour of the Ox, and humans were born in the hour of the Tiger. When heaven and earth joined once more, all things came into being."
"Among all creatures, there are beasts that roam the earth and birds that fly through the sky."
"Among the beasts, the Qilin is king; among the birds, the Phoenix is king."
"The Phoenix then joined with the primal force of creation and gave birth to the Peacock and the Great Peng."
At this point, the old Daoist's voice grew grave. "The Great Peng is born in the Lotus-Planting Realm. When it spreads its wings, it blots out the sky and sun."
"What's more, it possesses the divine ability Ten Thousand Mile Cloud Journey. Flying from the North Sea in the morning to Cangwu by dusk is as easy as breathing."
"This lineage has long since left the mortal world behind. They mostly dwell in the lands of Spirit Mountain in the far west, or in the Primordial Demon Realm."
Wei He's face turned green. "Th-then that Demon King..."
"That Demon King is a direct descendant of the Great Peng."
At this,
You Wujiang's heart gave a violent thump.
No wonder...
No wonder the beast's armor was so formidable.
It turned out to have such a powerful backing!
You Chenzi shook his head and continued, "If I remember correctly, the current head of the Golden-Winged Peng clan has been in seclusion for many years. He is already at the Half-Step Tower-Ascending Realm, and may even have..."
The old Daoist paused and didn't dare finish.
Tower-Ascending Realm.
What kind of realm was that?
Everyone stared blankly.
You Chenzi offered no explanation, only shaking his head with a sigh.
