FVN Chapter 45 The Appearance of the Phoenix
Chapter 45 The Appearance of the Phoenix
After stabilizing the tiny crimson-gold fire pattern within his body at the edge of the fire vein, Xuan Yao...
In the beginning, he did not truly realize what earth-shattering fortune this fire pattern meant.
He felt that the fire pattern in his dantian, along with the Flying Golden Sword, the Heart-Soothing Scepter, and the massive natal Xuan Sha, formed a balance.
It simply hovered quietly to one side of the dantian, enveloped by layers of milky-white blessed energy, slowly emitting wisps of crimson-gold light.
However, as Xuan Yao closed his eyes, he continued to smoothly operate the "Golden Palace Mysterious Demon True Explanation".
A breathtaking scene unfolded!
That seemingly docile crimson-gold fire pattern actually began to self-refine the hidden residual turbidity within Xuan Yao's body under the nourishment of the pure energy of virtue!
Those traces of past battles, the tiny impurities of magical power accumulated when absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the residual yin energy that had not yet been completely purified by the cultivation technique—all of which were extremely difficult for even Xuan Yao, with his Golden Immortal divine sense, to detect on ordinary days.
Under the faint glow of that crimson-gold flame, it was relentlessly refined away bit by bit, turning into nothingness!
"this……"
Xuan Yao suddenly opened his eyes, a look of horror flashing in them.
He then realized this deeply.
The tiny fire mark within my body is truly a wisp of Nanming Li Fire!
However, this wisp of Southern Ming fire was weak and still in its infancy, not enough to detach from the body and roam freely, much less be used to incinerate and kill foreign enemies like the Yellow Sand Treasure Fan.
It is more like a delicate spark.
It was temporarily nourished by Xuan Yao's long-lasting pure energy of virtue, and then provided with fuel by the continuous source of its natal Xuan Sha. Finally, the Flying Golden Sword served as its external support and buffer.
Without a delicate balance among these three elements...
This wisp of Southern Bright Fire could turn against its master at any moment, instantly burning Xuan Yao's meridians, or even directly destroying the natal Xuan Sha foundation that he had painstakingly forged!
Outside the fire vein.
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor, who had been silently watching Xuan Yao, sensed the pure Southern Ming Fire Origin Aura within Xuan Yao's body.
For the first time, her expression truly changed!
Ancestor Qingluan originally thought that Xuan Yao, this junior, was exceptionally talented, and at most, after enduring the painful clash of fire and evil, he had left a trace of the fire intent law of the Southern Ming Fire in his body.
But she never expected this!
This black tiger, born after the Heavenly Realm, actually managed to condense a wisp of Southern Ming Fire during that dangerous clash of fire elements!
It should be known that the Nanming Fire is the ancestral fire that guards the Phoenix Clan, and its nature is extremely fierce and pure.
Those cultivators from other races who can withstand the Southern Bright Fire are extremely rare, even in the ancient records of the Phoenix Clan!
Moreover, Xuan Yao is not a being born with an affinity for fire.
It is a black tiger born to kill, cultivating virtue and warding off evil!
This illogical event shocked even the Azure Phoenix Ancestor, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
The Azure Phoenix Ancestor's figure flickered, and he instantly appeared in front of Xuan Yao.
She didn't rush to congratulate Xuan Yao on obtaining such a heaven-defying fortune.
Instead, his expression was grave, and he directly pointed out the danger involved:
"Young friend Xuan Yao, do you know what exactly has condensed within your body?"
"The Southern Bright Fire is both an unparalleled blessing for my Phoenix Clan and a calamity capable of burning the heavens and destroying the earth!"
"It can burn away the filth and preserve the truth, creating all things, but it can also ruthlessly incinerate those who cannot withstand its heat!"
"Right now, you are only barely maintaining a fragile balance by relying on your special pure energy of virtue, your innate mysterious energy, and that flying golden sword."
"If you encounter a great calamity in the future, and your blessings and virtues are depleted due to excessive consumption, or if you develop a strong murderous intent, causing the evil energy within you to completely spiral out of control."
"Or perhaps you are trying to force this spark to fight the enemy."
"Then this Southern Bright Fire will instantly shatter the balance, causing you to suffer a tragic end—self-immolation and complete annihilation!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yao showed no trace of the arrogance or pride one might expect from someone who had acquired such a valuable treasure. Instead, his expression became even more cautious and solemn.
He stood up respectfully and bowed deeply to the Azure Phoenix Ancestor:
"Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor. I understand."
Xuan Yao was not an arrogant person. He knew very well that he had not suddenly become some kind of once-in-a-lifetime genius of fire.
Rather, it was the path of blessing and warding off evil that he had painstakingly forged, whose profound inclusiveness was just enough to accommodate this faint wisp of Southern Brightness Fire.
This fire could later serve as his secret support.
They cleansed his evil aura, forged magical artifacts, purified his karmic obstacles, and suppressed evil spirits.
But it must never overshadow the main attack and become his primary offensive tactic!
Because his fundamental Dao is always the profound evil above the blessings and the array sword!
Seeing that Xuan Yao could still maintain such a clear understanding in the face of such heaven-defying fortune, the last trace of worry in the heart of the Azure Phoenix Ancestor dissipated.
She remained silent for a moment.
His gaze suddenly deepened as he looked towards the very core of the immortal volcano, and in a complex tone, he told Xuan Yao a startling piece of news:
"Little friend Xuan Yao."
"Deep within the immortal volcano dwells an ancient being, longing to meet you."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized that this matter was definitely not ordinary!
He was merely a passerby from another race, a mere Golden Immortal.
Even though he was an inner disciple of the Queen Mother of the West, and by chance he saved Hong Ling's life and sent the Nanming Fire Pearl back to him.
Such insignificant merit and status would absolutely not be enough to alarm the ancient beings hidden deep within the Phoenix Clan!
The only explanation is that the wisp of true Nanming Fire that had just condensed within his body had triggered some ancient being deep within this immortal volcano.
"This junior obeys."
Xuan Yao suppressed his shock and trepidation and followed obediently behind the Azure Phoenix Ancestor.
With Xuan Yao by his side, the Azure Phoenix Ancestor headed towards the very core of the Undying Volcano.
The further in you go.
The fire elemental energy in the surrounding world became increasingly terrifying and violent!
In the end, those ordinary dark red southern fires had completely disappeared.
What appeared before my eyes was a vast sea of crimson-gold fire!
The temperature in this sea of fire was so high that even a Golden Immortal like Xuan Yao would have his life force dried up instantly without the protection of the Azure Phoenix Ancestor's energy.
And within this terrifying sea of crimson fire.
Xuan Yao's keen array-based eyes were shocked to see this.
Countless thick array patterns, like coiled dragons, stretched across the entire earth vein!
Some of these array patterns resemble heavy chains, tightly locking down the fire veins that were attempting to erupt.
Some, like the meridians of a living being, mysteriously regulate the energy of this fiery domain.
Together they formed a colossal array of destiny that encompassed almost the entire Antarctic region!
The more Xuan Yao looked, the more terrified he became, and he even felt a strong sense of suffocation!
Because he could clearly see it.
This unimaginably massive array is not merely for suppressing the raging fire veins, nor is it simply for protecting the ancestral land of the Phoenix Clan!
It was simultaneously and painstakingly suppressing the overwhelming karma, the endless calamity, the Phoenix Clan's remaining clan fortune, and the heaven and earth fire vein that was capable of destroying the world!
At this moment, Xuan Yao finally truly understood the Phoenix Clan's current predicament.
This immortal volcano is not simply a peaceful retreat for the Phoenix Clan to live in seclusion.
Instead, it was at the cost of the Phoenix Clan's remaining, weak energy.
Here, on behalf of the entire primordial world, a terrifying ancient fire eye of the Dragon-Han Calamity was firmly suppressed!
The Phoenix Clan is not unwilling to emerge and vie for supremacy over the world.
Rather, they simply cannot afford to make a move lightly!
Once the formation of this immortal volcano becomes unbalanced, it will affect not only the life and death of the Phoenix Clan, but also the complete eruption of the fire veins in the southern part of the prehistoric world. At that time, all living beings will be killed and the karma will backfire once again!
We traveled to the deepest part of the volcano.
The crimson sea of fire in front slowly parted to the sides.
Xuan Yao saw it!
In the very center of that sea of crimson fire, a colossal phoenix slumbers, its form almost filling the entire field of vision!
The Dharma form was enveloped in pure Nirvana fire, its wings spread out with difficulty, pressing down on the raging fire veins that stretched for thousands of miles below.
And on its enormous body.
It was densely wrapped with countless thick, dark red chains of karmic fire!
Each chain is deeply connected to the earth's veins of this immortal volcano, radiating terrifying karmic power capable of crushing even a Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Xuan Yao could see it clearly.
This great being was not suppressed here by some external enemy using supernatural powers.
Instead, she resolutely took herself as the core of the great formation, voluntarily shouldering the boundless karma of the entire Phoenix Clan and the responsibility for the raging fire veins of this immortal volcano!
A violent storm surged within Xuan Yao's heart.
He immediately understood with certainty who this great being, slumbering amidst the sea of fire and karma, truly was!
This is the supreme ancestor of the Phoenix Clan who has survived the devastating war since the beginning of the Dragon-Han Calamity.
Yuanhuang!
