As everyone knew, the Dragon Race, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan had once dominated the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
All three clans possessed formidable strength and overwhelming majesty.
More importantly, each clan had its own distinct innate gifts.
The Dragon Race, for instance, excelled at commanding water, stirring up boundless wind and rain.
The Phoenix Clan wielded the Southern Bright Separation Flame, burning everything to ashes.
The Qilin Clan was the most overbearing of all; simply charging headlong was enough to sweep aside countless enemies.
But at that moment, a startling idea surfaced in Gu Changqing's mind.
What terrifying power would emerge if the innate divine abilities of all three clans were brought together within a single person?!
Naturally, Ao Cunxin, a princess of the Dragon Race with its blood flowing through her veins, was the ideal candidate.
She was already powerful enough in her own right.
If she could also master the Southern Bright Separation Flame, then find and incorporate the bloodline of the Qilin Clan...
Wouldn't her strength soar straight into the skies?!
In the future, she would have nothing to fear even when facing Mighty Experts from Ancient Times.
Clearly, although Gu Changqing usually seemed irreverent, treating the mortal world as his playground...
He still spared no effort when it came to his disciples.
And obtaining the origin of this Southern Bright Separation Flame had already made the trip worthwhile.
Gu Changqing then took a deep swig of fine wine and turned to leave the Undying Volcano.
But just then, something unexpected happened.
"Hmph! Though my Phoenix Clan has perished, that doesn't give you the right to act so brazenly!"
That cold rebuke suddenly rang out through the previously silent surroundings.
Before the words had faded, a sharp Whoosh! followed as the void burst with sound.
