Unexpected

The story of the Jingwei Filling the Sea the sea was very familiar to Qing Xuanzi. What he couldn't understand was: why did the Dragon Race have such courage during the Three Sovereigns period, and what was the reason for it?

When Qing Xuanzi arrived at the East Sea to find the answer, he spotted Nüwa hiding in the void, staring at a little girl on the beach.

"Senior Sister, have you figured out anything?" Qing Xuanzi came to Nüwa's side and asked.

"Such pure Phoenix Race bloodline," Nüwa exclaimed, then said, "It's probably the bloodline of Nüwa that brought this trouble, after all, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans are mortal enemies."

Qing Xuanzi nodded, agreeing with Nüwa's deduction. When he saw Nüwa, Qing Xuanzi also immediately thought of this.

"The question is, where did she get this bloodline? It seems to be in a dormant stage. I suspect that something might have happened to Ancestor Phoenix."

Qing Xuanzi said thoughtfully.

"You mean the Ancestor Phoenix failed?"

"The specifics are unknown. Let's go and check out Southern Blazing Volcano."

"Hmm, but this Nüwa still needs to be properly settled. How about we bring her to my Wa Huang Palace?"

"Can."

Nüwa put Nüwa into the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram and came to Southern Blazing Volcano with Qing Xuanzi.

Just as Qing Xuanzi arrived at the East Sea, in the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun opened his eyes and sighed, saying:

"What was owed in the past must eventually be repaid. Well then, I'll go there too."

Qing Xuanzi frowned as he watched the flames of Southern Blazing Volcano dying out.

"Qing Xuanzi, something serious has indeed happened at Southern Blazing Volcano. Logically speaking, the Southern Blazing Fire here is an innate fire and should not be extinguished, not to mention that there is also the Ancestor Phoenix. How could this be?"

Upon seeing this scene, Nüwa confirmed that there was indeed a problem with the Southern Blazing Volcano.

"Why."

"Master."

"Teacher."

Qing Xuanzi and Nüwa were quite surprised to see Hongjun appear.

"Today's result is all due to yesterday's cause. I, an old Daoist, have come to repay my debt."

"Please enlighten me, teacher," Nüwa asked.

"We'll talk about that later. Right now, we need to hurry up and save Phoenix Ancestor, otherwise the Primordial World will be destroyed."

"Let's go." Qing Xuanzi was a man of action. Hearing Hongjun say this, he understood that the Phoenix Ancestor must be in imminent danger.

The three of them used their great magic together to reach the bottom of the volcano.

A phoenix, weakened to the point of near collapse, lay amidst a sea of fire, suppressing countless raging Lava Monsters.

"Gather." Healing the primordial spirit was originally Hongjun's forte, but Qing Xuanzi surpassed Hongjun, so Qing Xuanzi took action.

Boundless primordial spirit power surged from all directions, continuously replenishing Phoenix Ancestor's weakened primordial spirit.

In a short while, his primordial spirit became incredibly solid and returned to its optimal state.

"Greetings to the Dao Ancestor, the Saint Nuwa, and the Sage Qing Xuanzi." Although the Phoenix Ancestor was suppressed in the Southern Blazing Volcano, eternally suppressing the Southern Blazing Fire, he was very clear about the affairs of the Primordial World.

In particular, he was very knowledgeable about the human Qing Xuanzi, and now he had witnessed his methods, which were like the Great Dao.

I admire them immensely.

If the Phoenix Race had this method, countless members could have survived, and there would be no need for this useless, fiery rebirth.

"No need to be polite. In the past, Luo Hou was powerful and domineering, and I had no choice but to use you. Now I'm repaying that debt."

"Master, don't be so petty. If Luo Hou can appear in the Primordial World, why can't the Phoenix Race? Why not just remove the shackles from the Phoenix Race?"

When Qing Xuanzi met Phoenix Ancestor, he remembered that there were still many Phoenix Race bloodlines in the Primordial World.

If Phoenix Ancestor can escape, she will become another fighting force.

After hearing Qing Xuanzi's words, Hongjun smiled bitterly and said, "Disciple, do you think your master doesn't know? But what about the Heavenly Dao Oath back then?"

"That's easy. Who said the Phoenix Race should break their oath? I'll just teach her the Dao Body Technique."

Hongjun's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. He had personally experienced the supernatural powers of the Dao Body, and they were extremely powerful.

Apart from the primordial spirit that lacks a master body, it is almost another version of oneself.

"Alright." Hongjun readily agreed, knowing that Qing Xuanzi was actively planning for the future of the Primordial World.

"Phoenix Ancestor, the cultivation technique you practice is an innate inheritance, originating from the All Heavens Demon Gods; it can be considered a Primordial Chaos Technique."

Today I will impart to you a supernatural power, tomorrow you will attain the Dao Body. This method cannot be performed by anyone but Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

I made a slight modification: according to your Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, you can manifest three Dao bodies to guard the Southern Blazing Volcano.

"Phoenix Ancestor thanks the Sage Qingxuanzi for imparting the Dharma." Knowing that she had received an immense opportunity, Phoenix Ancestor immediately knelt down and said.

Then a glimmer of light flew into Phoenix Ancestor's primordial spirit, and with a phoenix cry, a woman in magnificent palace attire appeared before him.

"Tell me now, what exactly happened?"

"Yes, I suspect that the South Gate Volcano has a passage or formation leading to the Extraterritorial Chaos. Five hundred years ago..."

Large numbers of Lava Monsters are constantly gathering here. They have no intelligence, only know how to devour, and are like ferocious beasts.

For five hundred years, it has been increasing every moment. Today, it has finally reached the point where my primordial spirit can no longer bear it.

"If the Sage hadn't arrived in time, Phoenix Ancestor would surely have perished today."

Qing Xuanzi thought to himself: Sure enough, there is something strange about this Lava Monsters. He noticed the difference as soon as he came in.

Hongjun happened to look over at that moment, Qing Xuanzi nodded and said, "There is indeed something strange. Divine sense cannot penetrate it. Either an array or a spiritual object is blocking our investigation."

"Shall we go in and take a look?" Nüwa suggested.

"Go." Qing Xuanzi flashed into the magma, and the surrounding magma and Lava Monsters were pushed aside as if they had hit a wall.

Nüwa followed closely behind, while Hongjun waved his hand to temporarily seal the bottom of the volcano.

"Ancestor Phoenix, you stay here and keep watch. Don't let anyone in."

"Respect the decree of the Dao Ancestor."

Hongjun covered the rear, focusing his main efforts on the return journey to avoid any problems.

Qing Xuanzi was the first to arrive at a place that resembled the Heaven and Earth Membrane, and stared at it in a daze.

Nüwa and Hongjun arrived shortly afterward, only to find Qing Xuanzi staring blankly ahead in a daze.

"How come there is Heaven and Earth Membrane here?" Nüwa asked softly as she came to Qing Xuanzi's side.

Qing Xuanzi shook his head and said, "This is not the Heaven and Earth Membrane."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a terrifying aura seeped in from what resembled the Heaven and Earth Membrane.

In an instant, Qing Xuanzi activated the Twelve Divine Demonic Array, which had evolved into a Great Dao Formation since Qing Xuanzi attained enlightenment.

However, that aura was simply too powerful, almost on par with the Great Dao, and it only lasted for a short while.

Qing Xuanzi, who was in charge of the formation, was already pale-faced and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Qing Xuanzi".

"Qing Xuanzi".

Nüwa and Hongjun exclaimed in surprise at the same time, and supported the swaying Qing Xuanzi. They poured Thirty-six Petals Dao-level healing pills into Qing Xuanzi's mouth as if they were free.

"Hehe, I never thought I'd have such an opportunity to become an immortal." A strange voice rang out, and then the terrifying aura vanished completely.

Qing Xuanzi struggled to steady his breathing and said, "Don't waste the pills. This is a wound to the Great Dao, and the pills will be of no use. Help me back. The Primordial World is probably in big trouble."

Qing Xuanzi knew that his injuries were extremely serious, and his Dao foundation had been damaged. If it were someone else, they would have been gone just now.

Hongjun and Nüwa carefully escorted Qing Xuanzi back to the tea stall. Before leaving, they instructed Phoenix Ancestor, "This place is important and cannot be left unattended. You shall stay here and guard it for now."

Phoenix Ancestor was so surprised that he couldn't speak. What on earth had the saints encountered that even Qing Xuanzi was injured?

Moreover, it looked quite heavy. She knew that Qing Xuanzi was the strongest among all the saints.

He got injured? What happened?
