The entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is a training ground for cultivating Gu Kings and true powerhouses. Therefore, the Undying Heavenly Emperor also set up a restriction in the World Tree: after consuming the Immortal Divine Medicine, the lifespan of their second life will not exceed 32,000 years. The rules of the entire world will force them to embark on the Red Dust Immortal Path world, and this world will not be transformed into a world with Longevity Substance like the Immortal Domain or other Strange World, ensuring that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will always remain a cruel training ground.
Foreign Realm.
This is a very peculiar ocean of fire, boundless and endless, with flames rolling like waves and emitting thunderous sounds.
This strange flame flowed like water, cascading down like a waterfall, coming from the unknown and flowing to the unknown.
This strange waterfall of fire appears to have no flammable material, as if it appeared out of thin air.
Countless Great Dao Runes danced and fell into the sea of flames.
In this raging fire, no living thing should have been able to survive, but on this day, a giant egg suddenly appeared.
What hatched was a baby bird.
"What era have I traveled to using this Ash Jar? Where have I ended up?" Xiao Ping'an asked in surprise.
To his surprise, he discovered that he had transformed into a small bird, which looked like a Little Phoenix.
He actually transmigrated into the body of a Phoenix, just like when he transmigrated into the body of the Nine-Nether Ao back then.
When was he thrown into this fire?
Why isn't anyone taking care of him?
Where are his parents? Were they abandoned?
He sensed it; the little bird seemed to have been born of nature, as if it were Saint Spirit born from the flames.
This Phoenix has an astonishing body, possessing at least the physique of Quasi-Emperor.
It's incredible that someone could be born with such a powerful physique.
This fire Phoenix is simply too powerful.
A newborn baby possesses a physique comparable to that of Quasi-Emperor.
In this era, he would be considered a born Supreme.
He examined it carefully again, and it really was a Phoenix.
The little bird rapidly grew larger in the flames, becoming extremely large, with a wingspan of at least ten thousand meters.
His appearance is exactly that of Phoenix God.
Its teeth were incredibly sharp, and its head was ablaze with flame-like plumes. It had long tail feathers, and its entire body was covered in feathers that seemed to flow with flames.
"This Phoenix, after its birth, surprisingly lacked the legendary Phoenix Precious Technique!"
"Could it really be a Saint Spirit born of nature?"
"Or is it a useless child, unloved by both parents, who was abandoned?"
Xiao Ping'an felt this incredibly powerful body and was extremely puzzled.
Logically speaking, a creature of this level, comparable to one of the Ancient Ten Fiends, should have been carefully nurtured from birth and possessed the most advanced Phoenix Precious Technique of the Phoenix Clan.
But this body, apart from its powerful physique, had nothing else.
Xiao Ping'an possessed the Ancient Ten Fiends Precious Techniques the Desolate Heaven Emperor had once taught him, among which the Phoenix Precious Technique was naturally included.
Therefore, after a little cultivation, he immediately caused flames to rage here, creating towering waves and a raging inferno.
This Phoenix's body is truly incredibly strong.
It's unbelievably strong; breaking through the eggshell reveals Supreme, almost like Saint Spirit, reaching the pinnacle of perfection.
Xiao Ping'an was adapting to this body and the environment, while also secretly cultivating the Phoenix Precious Technique, a technique that leads directly to the Immortal King realm.
Although Xiao Ping'an was already powerful enough, he really enjoyed this kind of experience-based time travel.
Witnessing the rise of a Immortal King firsthand, the unique experience of the Great Dao would undoubtedly benefit him immensely.
Xiao Ping'an quickly realized that there was something wrong with this sea of flames; it was definitely not an ordinary flame.
This flame harbors an unimaginable aura of the Great Dao of Fire.
He sensed countless mysterious Great Dao Runes and boundless divine power within the flames.
The extraordinary divine aura emanating from the Dao made the atmosphere here extremely peculiar.
Each flower of flame contains an extremely mysterious Dao, which is constantly evolving from different Daos of Flame.
After comprehending the Dao, Xiao Ping'an quickly entered a state of enlightenment.
He had never witnessed such a wondrous and divine aura.
The flames here contain other great laws, and ordinary living beings are quickly burned to ashes.
Therefore, anything that can appear here is definitely not an ordinary creature.
On this day, Xiao Ping'an, who was cultivating his spiritual path, suddenly felt a mysterious force pulling at him.
He soon discovered that someone wanted to capture him and use him as a mount.
With a slight movement, his terrifying flesh broke free of the net, dragging the person trying to capture him into the flames as well.
Whether he can survive or not depends on his Fortune.
Soon more people appeared in the sea of flames, some standing in the sky, and others standing on islands.
They were all constantly attacking Xiao Ping'an, trying to capture him.
Those people are extremely powerful; a casual strike from them could unleash True Immortal- level attack.
Xiao Ping'an was also shocked. When did True Immortal become less valuable than dogs? Several of them appeared at once.
Just as Xiao Ping'an was about to use the Phoenix Precious Technique to counterattack, he was suddenly surprised to find that the seemingly terrifying attack was quickly extinguished upon encountering the flames here.
You don't need to lift a finger; the mysterious power here can protect you.
"That Progenitor Bird is pretty strong!"
"Yes, the progenitor of the Phoenix, possessed such strength even at birth."
"If only I could refine it into a mount."
"If I could devour it, I might become Immortal King someday."
Xiao Ping'an learned from them that he was actually an Progenitor Bird.
It is the progenitor of the Phoenix.
No wonder it possessed Supreme- level physique from birth; it turns out it was a newborn of the ancestral level among Phoenix birds.
Seeing more and more powerful figures arriving, Xiao Ping'an knew it was time for him to leave.
Because he also sensed a faint, almost imperceptible force, seemingly guiding him along a certain path back to his ancestral homeland to inherit his ancestors' legacy.
That mysterious feeling comes from bloodline instinct, the supernatural power within the bloodline.
It feels like a fish returning home; only when it returns to its true home can it undergo a stronger transformation.
In a daze, Xiao Ping'an realized that this might be the necessary path for the ancestral Phoenix bird to transform and upgrade.
Now that it has become Phoenix at the ancestral level, it will definitely become at least Immortal King in the future, and may even break through to become an Emperor and reach an even higher realm.
He had to go through this path, and endure many trials.
With a loud boom, Xiao Ping'an flapped his wings, transformed into a blazing flame, and disappeared into the sea of fire.
He traveled swiftly through this sea of fire, journeying along the boundless ocean.
Sometimes he dives into the sea, sometimes he walks on the surface of the sea, moving at great speed, yet the True Immortal can no longer find his trace.
More and more powerful figures appeared along the way, and finally someone discovered his whereabouts, launching a frenzied attack to stop him from escaping.
However, this mysterious ocean of flames easily melted away attacks of True Immortal level.
Even if a True Immortal- level Great Dao Runes appeared, it would be like trying to blast a fish with Shitou —it wouldn't hit anything.
Xiao Ping'an emerged unscathed from the entire journey.
Rumble.
Suddenly, a mysterious power descended upon Xiao Ping'an; it was an extremely terrifying power, as if it wanted to suppress him.
Soon Xiao Ping'an felt as if the whole world had fallen on his back, so heavy.
He soon discovered a strange scene: a mysterious World Tree had appeared.
Without realizing it, I had climbed up the World Tree.
This World Tree is radiant and enormous, exuding various sacred and powerful forces.
Xiao Ping'an had offended him like a rebellious son, and it seemed he needed to teach Xiao Ping'an a lesson.
This feeling is so heavy, so terrifying.
Xiao Ping'an felt as if he had been spanked, as if he had been whipped several times by the branches of the World Tree.
He fled immediately. This Little Phoenix was only at the Supreme level in terms of physical strength, and it was no match for the World Tree.
This is a World Tree from the Foreign Realm.
"What a pity, the Phoenix actually got away."
"It's too late. If only we had caught him before he even hatched."
"This Phoenix is truly bizarre; it deserves to be called Phoenix of ancestral status."
A True Immortal, his body gleaming, formed countless hand seals, and in the blink of an eye, the entire sea of flames boiled.
Sensing the terrifying attack power, Xiao Ping'an also felt threatened. He transformed from the flames back into Phoenix and soared into the sky.
They were about to leave this world.
His entire body radiated with extremely mysterious Great Dao Runes, which allowed him to easily block the attack from True Immortal.
People saw the Phoenix soar into the sky, actually blocking an attack from True Immortal, and then disappear.
"Impossible! This Phoenix is clearly only at the Supreme Realm, how could it possibly withstand a full-force attack from True Immortal?"
"He must be seriously injured!"
"Yes, it would be such a pity if someone from another world found the corpse of this Phoenix."
"Millions of years have passed, and no Progenitor Bird has ever been born here. Now, Phoenix of ancestral level has been born here. It's truly unbelievable."
"The Phoenix has escaped; how are we to explain this to the King of Immortality?"
Xiao Ping'an flew out of the sea of flames, and in a daze, he felt as if he had rushed out of the Foreign Realm and entered another strange world.
He was extremely surprised that the Great Dao Runes that automatically appeared on the Phoenix were so mysterious and powerful.
It actually blocked an attack from True Immortal level with ease.
Xiao Ping'an was certain that these Great Dao Runes were mysterious runes naturally born from the Phoenix's body, possessing unfathomable power.
After some deduction, he concluded that it must have been naturally born from the bodies of those Ancient Ten Fiends.
After all, when the Desolate Heaven Emperor was young, he needed various Bone Text to enrich himself.
These mysterious Great Dao Runes are clearly naturally formed within the bodies of those powerful beings.
He felt his blood boiling, as if his body and Divine Capital were burning fiercely.
The divine runes that appeared on his body also shone with unparalleled brilliance, as mysterious and powerful as the blazing sun.
Looking at the raging fire of his body, Xiao Ping'an felt no fear. Instead, he understood that this was a precious transformation and sublimation.
This is the inevitable path of transformation and sublimation for Progenitor Bird.
He felt his body burning fiercely, radiating a mysterious and unpredictable power, as if he had become stronger.
He felt his body and soul slowly disappearing amidst the raging flames.
Being constantly burned in those terrifying flames was an extremely painful experience.
He seemed unable to struggle or resist, burning fiercely under the control of that mysterious flame.
He felt his flesh, his bones, being burned to ashes.
This Phoenix's transformation is truly a rebirth from the ashes.
Xiao Ping'an could sense that the flames had not exceeded his limit, but they had already brought him to the brink of life and death.
Even a little too much could kill you.
It is in this struggle between life and death that it evolves faster and becomes even more powerful.
He knew this was something recorded in the Phoenix Precious Technique; as long as the Phoenix successfully underwent rebirth, its strength would inevitably increase dramatically.
This mysterious flame is forcing him to constantly evolve and sublimate.
If Phoenix wants to truly become Immortal King and unleash the power of the Ancient Ten Fiends, this is also a necessary process.
The mysterious flames were still burning fiercely, and Xiao Ping'an's body was shimmering, with both his flesh and blood and his very essence burning.
He could sense a mysterious power lurking within his body.
The burning flames are meant to activate that mysterious power.
Xiao Ping'an soon discovered that new Great Dao Runes were beginning to appear and evolve within his body.
This thing is similar to, yet different from, the legendary Phoenix Precious Technique. Clearly, this Phoenix must go through these experiences to forge its own path.
Xiao Ping'an immediately devoted himself to comprehending the text.
This feeling is very peculiar, as if one is comprehending spiritual practice from the perspective of an observer, or as if one is personally experiencing a terrifying transformation from the perspective of a participant.
This is a very novel way of practicing spirituality.
A new Phoenix Precious Technique is about to be born.
Xiao Ping'an was so immersed in a state of enlightenment that he forgot everything else.
His entire being was focused on the Phoenix, intently watching the evolution of the Great Dao Runes.
Everything in the world lost its appeal to him; his eyes were fixed solely on the ever-evolving Great Dao Runes.
Xiao Ping'an witnessed the origin of the Phoenix Precious Technique and saw the birth of another prototype of the Phoenix Precious Technique.
Such a transformation is an unimaginable stroke of Fortune for a cultivator.
Especially for someone like Xiao Ping'an who cultivates the Five Great Secret Realms Method, the precious techniques collected by the Desolate Heaven Emperor before creating the technique were definitely of great benefit to him.
Now, Xiao Ping'an has witnessed the evolution of one Great Dao Runes after another, and suddenly understands.
This has immeasurable significance for him.
No wonder even the worst of the Ancient Ten Fiends possessed the combat power of Immortal King. With such mysterious and miraculous Great Dao Runes appearing out of nowhere, it would be difficult not to achieve a breakthrough.
This represents the origin of a spiritual path.
For Xiao Ping'an, the significance was immeasurable.
Besides the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao, Xiao Ping'an gradually began to hear what sounded like a sacrificial ritual.
The Phoenix is burning continuously, as if trying to break free from its fate and reach a new realm.
When the terrible burning ended, the newborn Phoenix successfully rose from the ashes.
He could sense new Great Dao Runes being born and imprinted onto the Phoenix's body.
Xiao Ping'an stared intently at the newly appeared Great Dao Runes, which were similar to but different from the legendary Phoenix Precious Technique.
Some are the same, while others are clearly different.
He sensed a mysterious power emanating from these Great Dao Runes; it was the aura of immortality.
The entire Phoenix shone as brightly as flames, radiating incredible divine light.
It took a very long time for this Phoenix to successfully transform.
Now, this Phoenix has shrunk to only two meters in size, but its aura has become even stronger.
Countless Great Dao Runes flowed within his body and across his surface.
When the transformation was complete, the Phoenix exuded an incomparably sharp aura and an incomparably scorching heat, which came from the Great Dao Law of Flames.
This transformation and sublimation actually granted this Phoenix true Supreme peak strength.
He truly possessed the strength of Great Emperor.
If he takes just half a step further, he will truly possess the strength of Heavenly Emperor.
Xiao Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, these Ancient Ten Fiends truly lived up to their reputation; their strength increased rapidly without any deliberate cultivation.
In this world, cultivation doesn't seem to be very good, because one can clearly sense that the Great Dao in this world is not perfect.
He decided to travel to the legendary Immortal Domain, as he did not want to evolve into Immortal King in this Foreign Realm.
After all, this Foreign Realm has indeed been corrupted, especially some of the Immortal King, who have almost transformed into Dark Immortal King.
He must become Immortal King in the Immortal Domain, not King of Immortality in the Foreign Realm.
Once the Phoenix completes its trials, it will undergo an astonishing transformation, perhaps even becoming Immortal King or Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
He can now feel his body constantly evolving and transforming.
Given enough time, one can become True Immortal even without diligent cultivation.
If one simply drifts through life like this, it's entirely possible that one could become Immortal King upon reaching adulthood.
In addition, Xiao Ping'an was surprised to find that he had not encountered a heavenly tribulation.
Logically speaking, there should be heavenly tribulations in this era, it's just a matter of degree.
However, thinking of the Five Great Secret Realms Cultivation Method of later generations, and the scriptures personally created by the Undying Heavenly Emperor, he felt that the Undying Heavenly Emperor's scriptures could also be used for this Phoenix to cultivate.
Combining these two methods of cultivation might allow one to reach a higher level of spiritual attainment at the fastest speed.
He broke through the legend of the Ancient Ten Fiends and became Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Xiao Ping'an is now exploring this world where the Great Dao is incomplete, wondering what method he can use to enter the legendary Immortal Domain.
After all, the Immortal Domain is now heavily guarded to prevent outside beings from bringing pollutants and contaminating their world, and they look down on every being from the lower realm.
I remember when the Desolate Heaven Emperor entered the Immortal Domain, he was severely looked down upon.
However, it seems that the Phoenix Clan's lineage originates in the Immortal Domain.
Regardless, Xiao Ping'an should make the trip.
