The Blue Man of the Divine Continent was truly water-attributed.
The Blue Men who had invaded the Lihuo Domain were merely flames draped in the guise of the Myriad Water Flow.
That was why they feared flowing water.
If they were truly the Myriad Water Flow, they would probably enjoy water instead.
The two walked within Phoenix Ancient City.
They followed secluded paths, staying close to the cooler, shadier places as they admired the charm of the ancient architecture.
After walking for some time,
the ground suddenly began to tremble. Thudding booms seemed to rise from beneath the earth.
It was as though something was about to awaken.
Xu Zimo and Purple Cloud Sage stopped and listened toward the source of the sound.
"What do you think it is?" Xu Zimo asked with a smile.
"I can sense an incredibly powerful plant aura," Purple Cloud Sage replied.
"An ancient tree, one born in a place of utmost yin," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
He remembered what the man in the Plum Blossom Forest had said.
Of course, that was assuming the other party had not deceived him.
The two followed the trail of the sound and hurried toward the ancient tree.
After passing through several dark alleyways, they arrived at the front section of Phoenix Ancient City.
The entire ancient city had been built in the likeness of a phoenix.
At the very front was an enormous head, with wings on either side and tail feathers behind it.
There was also a vast body.
The two waded through the water-filled structure of the phoenix's body before standing atop the phoenix's head.
Looking straight ahead, they saw a colossal tree rising into the heavens.
The great tree towered skyward, majestic and lofty, its end impossible to see at a glance.
