Phoenix Ancient City.
Within Lihuo Domain, this was considered the city with the deepest history.
It was said that this city was even older than Lihuo Domain itself.
There was even a saying often circulated among the people.
First came the phoenix, then came fire; Lihuo came after the ancient city.
The meaning of those words was plain enough.
In ancient times, a phoenix descended from the heavens, carrying blazing flames that set this land alight.
The phoenix underwent its tribulation here, but unfortunately, it ultimately failed.
After the phoenix died, heaven and earth mourned in grief.
That great fire burned for three full years.
No power could extinguish it.
Only three years later did the phoenix fire suddenly go out, and the places scorched by the flames were given the name Lihuo Domain.
As for where the phoenix had once fallen—
It was also where that great fire had begun, and Phoenix Ancient City was built there.
That was the origin and history of the ancient city.
The Teleportation Array in Shenghai City led directly to Phoenix Ancient City.
However, the ancient city had long since been occupied by water beasts.
Thus, Shenghai City had never used that Teleportation Array over the years.
Because no one knew what exactly lay at the other end of the array.
Some had even suggested destroying the array.
So that whatever was in Phoenix Ancient City could not take the Teleportation Array over here.
After pondering for a long time, the Dragon City Lord ultimately kept the array, though it remained sealed all year round.
At this moment, Xu Zimo and the Purple Cloud Sage stood within the Teleportation Array.
Though the array had not been activated for a long time, it remained fairly stable.
It had not been damaged either.
