In the end, the Primordial Phoenix did not survive the ancient calamity.
From the "volcanic crater" at the top of the magnificent Undying Volcano, there was a dead darkness below. One could only vaguely see the dark red at the bottom of the volcanic crater.
It was desolate, empty, and lifeless. Even the rich Dao laws of fire still felt incompatible with this place.
That was the Undying Volcano.
"Mother once said that there is a weak undying power here. She originally wanted to comprehend the path to becoming a Saint here. However, she did not expect that she would not be able to comprehend anything after being in seclusion for a long time. The battle between the two races in the Primordial World is already irreversible. "
Kong Xuan muttered softly. His voice was melted by the surrounding darkness.
"My condolences." Yang Jian sighed and comforted him.
Was this considered revisiting an old place?
The dead were still dead. He was Yang Jian. He was not the fellow who could sever the Chaos Sea with a single saber strike.
In particular, Yang Jian could not understand how the existence back then had severed the Chaos Sea with a single saber strike.
It was really an existence that he could not understand.
Yang Jian already had some guesses in his heart. However, he could only keep those words in his heart. He could not confide them to anyone.
Moreover, Yang Jian had yet to fully understand his origins. He could not be sure if the "one-sided" information he knew was accurate.
He didn't know if there were any clues about his past and present life here.
Yang Jian looked around. Logically speaking, if there was anything important, his mind should have sensed it.
He descended all the way without any abnormalities.
Forget it. I'll let fate decide. After all, I'm Yang Jian now. No matter how powerful I was in my previous life, I can't help him sweep away those ultimate experts.
After descending for more than half a day, they finally reached the bottom of the Undying Volcano.
At the bottom was a slowly flowing lake of magma. An incomparably huge divine bird was lying on top of the magma. It was motionless and didn't move at all.
The divine bird's entire body was covered in fiery-red feathers. Under the fiery-red feathers, there were wisps of seven-colored light lingering.
Even though she did not have a Connate Taoist Body, Yang Jian could still feel her beauty and comprehend her extraordinary qualities.
The Divine Bird Phoenix, the Original Phoenix Ancestor.
This was her final resting place. It was soundless, and no one disturbed her. She lay there quietly, and only a trace of the Dao aura remained. It told the story of how she'd once soared through the primordial world and looked down upon the world.
"Feng Wu, come and pay your respects."
Kong Xuan said in a low voice. Feng Wu, who was at the side, hurriedly came forward and knelt down in front of the divine bird with Kong Xuan.
Yang Jian waited quietly at the side. He looked at the Primordial Phoenix for a while and saw the pulsing magma around it.
After the Primordial Phoenix died, her own Dao was scattered here, slightly filling in the empty space of the Undying Volcano …
That's not right. Normally speaking, when a person dies, the Dao will naturally disperse. Why is it that after the Primordial Phoenix perished, not only did its Dao not disperse, it even gathered together like this?
Yang Jian closed his eyes and sensed carefully. He captured a wisp of the Flame Dao Law and followed it. His Divine Consciousness also surged towards his feet.
The bottom of the Undying Volcano seemed to be a boundless, dark land. The land gave Yang Jian a surreal feeling, as if it was made of layers of ashes.
He continued to explore along the path of the Great Path of Fire.
Fortunately, Yang Jian had cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art to the eighth tier. His Primordial Spirit was his physical body, and his physical body was his Primordial Spirit. His Divine Consciousness was also many times stronger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to explore this place.
After sinking for an unknown amount of time, Yang Jian's Divine Consciousness was suddenly blocked. The scene captured by his Divine Consciousness was transmitted to the bottom of his heart, causing Yang Jian to be slightly shocked.
At an unknown depth below their feet, there was a burning sea of fire, like the core of a planet.
The magma flowed like water, and the flames of various colors seemed to be playing and chasing each other. The Flame Dao Laws intertwined and collided. A Great Path of Fire stood in the middle, like a towering tree, attracting attention.
And in the middle of the sea of fire, the Great Path of Fire was wrapped around a black broken blade.
The broken blade only had half a hilt and a broken blade that was more than an inch long. However, when Yang Jian saw it, he couldn't move his mind.
That's …
"What's wrong?" asked Kong Xuan.
Yang Jian opened his eyes and used the light from the flowing magma to point below.
"You discovered it?" Kong Xuan shook his head and said, "I was guarding this place when Mother perished. When her Essence Soul was destroyed, her cultivation level was completely ignited, igniting this volcano. When I snapped back to my senses, the Fire Dao Law that Mother had painstakingly condensed for countless years had already condensed underground for some reason. "
Kong Xuan looked around. "Perhaps this is the secret of the Undying Volcano. Mother has always been here, so she might come back to life."
"Didn't you see it?" asked Yang Jian with a frown.
"See what?"
Yang Jian asked in return, "Can't you see what's in the sea of fire?"
"What?" Kong Xuan was a little confused. He immediately probed with his Divine Perception and then looked up at Yang Jian. "Apart from the Great Path of Fire, is there anything else?"
Yang Jian couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he stood there and thought carefully.
After thinking for a while, Yang Jian sat down cross-legged and frowned.
Kong Xuan was a little confused, but he knew that Yang Jian might have sensed something, so he didn't disturb him.
They had come here to retrieve the Five-Fire Dragon Breaking Stone. Kong Xuan didn't waste any time. He let Yang Jian meditate there and Feng Wu worship the Primordial Phoenix. He went underground on his own.
After descending thousands of feet, Kong Xuan used the Five-colored Divine Light to open a light barrier. He kept searching in the piles of ashes and began swimming towards the area where the Primordial Phoenix's corpse was.
The Five-Fire Dragon Breaking Stone, also known as the Phoenix Blood Dragon Soul Stone, had appeared several times in the Primordial World, but they were all destroyed by the Dragons' experts.
The conditions for the birth of this item were very harsh. It needed the Dragon Soul as the base material, the Phoenix Blood overturned the soul, and the Phoenix True Fire as the main Five Types of True Fire. Only then could one or two pieces be born.
The Five-Fire Dragon Breaking Stone was basically "useless" with the Primordial World's refining methods. Therefore, the Phoenix Clan had never deliberately collected such treasures.
However, in the place where the Primordial Phoenix died, the Five-Fire Dragon Breaking Stone was quite abundant.
During the Dragon-Phoenix First Tribulation, the world shattered. Countless Dragons' experts died in the Primordial Phoenix's hands. The souls of the Dragons did not dissipate. Even the powerful Primordial Phoenix was more or less contaminated.
After the Primordial Phoenix died, all kinds of Great Paths of Fire gathered in the Undying Volcano and under the Primordial Phoenix's corpse. When the dragon souls sank, the flames rose, supplemented by the Primordial Phoenix's blood, and produced many Five-Fire Dragon Breaking Stones.
"Found it."
Kong Xuan raised his hand and picked up a palm-sized stone wrapped in ashes. He unconsciously used 70% to 80% of his strength.
The stone was abnormally heavy. It first felt hot in his hand, then cold.
The size of a palm might not be enough. Kong Xuan also knew that Yang Jian wanted to forge a spear, so he might need more materials.
The Five-colored Divine Light flashed. She continued to search the ashes under the Primordial Phoenix's corpse.
Soon, a second stone, a third stone …
When Kong Xuan collected the fifth Five-Fire Dragon Breaking Stone and weighed it, she felt that it was enough. She turned around and walked to the side before burrowing out of the ashes.
If she had any choice, she would not have wanted to "destroy" her mother's resting place.
Kong Xuan was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly sensed something and looked down.
Boom!
Beneath him, deep in the ground that had been burned to ashes, a ball of flames spewed out like a tide.
Kong Xuan was rather decisive. When she saw this, she immediately activated the Five-colored Divine Light with all her might. Her body instantly moved tens of thousands of feet.
Almost as soon as she flashed away, an incomparably huge Pillar Of Fire pierced through the endless ashes. It devoured the spot where Kong Xuan had been standing and spewed out towards the top of the ashes.
A phoenix's cry came from the Pillar Of Fire.
"How …"
Kong Xuan was stunned at first, but then she was overjoyed. She activated the Five-colored Divine Light with all her might and flew up like an arrow.
However, when she rushed out of the ashes, she saw that the Primordial Phoenix's body was wrapped in Skyfire flames. The bottom of the Undying Volcano was completely filled with raging flames.
Yang Jian was protecting Feng Wu in midair, using Xuanqi to resist the raging heat waves.
Kong Xuan stared at the Primordial Phoenix's corpse in the flames for a while before hurriedly flying towards Yang Jian. He hurriedly asked, "What did you do? Why is there such a scene? "
"I …"
Screech!
Just as Yang Jian was about to speak, an incomparably loud phoenix cry suddenly sounded from below.
The Undying Volcano could actually be considered to be standing in the Chaos Sea. Its interior was also filled with a thin Chaos aura. However, when the phoenix cry appeared, the Chaos Sea around the Undying Volcano instantly boiled. The Chaos aura was instantly evaporated and expelled.
The Great Dao of Fire was going berserk. The Primordial Phoenix's True Spirit seemed to be reviving!
Although Kong Xuan did not understand what was going on, she stared intently at Yang Jian. She knew that such a bizarre matter was definitely related to Yang Jian.
She had been here so many times before, and everything had been calm every time. Why did such a change happen when Yang Jian came!?!
However, Kong Xuan was extremely happy. When she looked at Yang Jian, there was no hatred in her eyes. She even felt a little grateful …
No matter how she looked at it, the Primordial Phoenix was about to revive …
In the Black Tortoise Belt, the little eagle, who had been sleeping out of boredom, opened its two small eyes. It tilted its head and opened its mouth, crying out softly.
Yang Jian released the little eagle, afraid that it would go out and cause trouble. It would harm Kong Xuan's mother like how it had devoured the life force of the Kun Peng's body. Hence, he grabbed the little eagle in his hand.
"Behave."
The little eagle shook its head and looked at the Primordial Phoenix's body below in high spirits.
"Yang Jian, what did you do?"
"This is a little complicated to explain. I saw a broken weapon in the middle of the flames, so I tried to communicate with it. In the end, the moment my consciousness touched the broken weapon … this happened."
"I've obtained the Five-Fire Dragon Broken Stone," Kong Xuan said casually and looked at the Primordial Phoenix's body fervently.
However, before the smile on her lips could fully bloom, the flames below began to retract towards the Primordial Phoenix's body. Kong Xuan's smile froze.
This is not Nirvana!
"How can this be! Mother! "
Just as Kong Xuan finished shouting, the Primordial Phoenix's mountain-like corpse suddenly exploded silently. It turned into sparks and quickly extinguished.
"Mother!"
Kong Xuan almost fainted. She rode the Five-colored Divine Light and rushed to the place where the Primordial Phoenix's body had exploded. Yang Jian was afraid that something would happen to her, so he immediately chased after her with Feng Wu.
At the bottom of the Undying Volcano, the sparks that had exploded everywhere disappeared in a flash. When Kong Xuan rushed to the magma that had started to cool down, the Primordial Phoenix's corpse had completely disappeared.
"Mother …"
Kong Xuan knelt on the ground powerlessly. Before she knew it, she had already become dumbfounded. She looked at the empty ground of ashes.
"Squeak!"
The little hawk in Yang Jian's hand suddenly cried out. At the place where Kong Xuan was looking, a small area of ashes was pushed up, and a little phoenix the size of a palm, wrapped in flames, squeezed out with great effort.
Kong Xuan was stunned. Yang Jian was slightly stunned as well. Meanwhile, the little eagle spread its wings excitedly and cried at the little phoenix.
Wait a minute …
Could this little phoenix be like the little eagle, something that even the saints of the Primordial Era had to go to great lengths to find …
"Spirit beast?"
Yang Jian blurted out. The little phoenix spoke at almost the same time.
