A few divine wutong trees could be clearly seen in the huge sea of wutong trees before them, and they were clearly much taller than the others of the same species.
These few largest divine wutong trees did not gather together, but were spread out in the sea of trees. They seemed to be unrelated, but they seemed to form a simple yet profound formation.
Li Yuanfang's eyes flickered as he looked at this scene, displaying a rare focus and obsession.
In the center of the wutong forest, there was a towering tree that was even taller than the others of the same species. That divine wutong tree stood between the heavens and the earth, its height exceeding tens of thousands of feet. The diameter of the tree alone took up a large area of the entire wutong forest.
Lin Feng stared at that divine wutong tree and nodded slightly. It was obvious that it was the Wutong Emperor without a doubt.
The Wutong Emperor had yet to reveal its true form, or it would probably be even larger.
Wang Lin, Shi Tianhao, and Zhuge Zhan's gazes also landed on that huge divine wutong tree.
After looking for a moment, Wang Lin turned his head and revealed a rare hesitant expression. "I feel like … the Wutong Emperor hasn't gone through the tribulation yet, right? But why does it give me the feeling that it's even more pressuring than facing a great demon like Xiang Liu? "
He and Zhu Yi were the two with the strongest spirits among Lin Feng's disciples, but their strengths were different as well. Comparatively speaking, Wang Lin's advantage lay in the strength and tenacity of his spirit. While his sensitivity and senses were inferior to Zhu Yi's, they were still rather extraordinary.
Especially now that he had proven his Primordial Soul, his mystical powers had improved greatly, and his senses were outstanding as well.
The Wutong Emperor had a mild temperament and did not reveal its true form, nor did it intentionally display its powerful demonic powers. However, Wang Lin could still vaguely see some clues.
Shi Tianhao and Zhuge Zhan also looked at the huge divine wutong tree in a daze, their faces revealing a contemplative expression.
Lin Feng said calmly, "Be it humans or demons, among the currently known existences, putting aside the fact that the King Of The Underworld has come back to life, other than that old cicada, Golden Cicada, the Wutong Tree Emperor is probably the oldest. The number of years he has cultivated for must be counted in units of ten thousand years."
"A long time ago, he was already a Great Demon at the pinnacle of the Astral Soul Fusion realm. But for some reason, he never experienced the tribulation." Lin Feng said, "After a tribulation a few thousand years ago, his injuries have not healed, so the tribulation naturally had to be postponed indefinitely."
"When Tong 'er came to the Wutong Forest back then, she only managed to temporarily control the Wutong Emperor's injuries. She was not able to completely sever its roots."
Lin Feng smiled. "But even so, the Wutong Tree Emperor's demonic powers are extremely powerful and cannot be underestimated. With him overseeing this Wutong Forest, coupled with the terrain and the help of his kin, there's no need to say more. "
"However, if he could avoid fighting, the Wutong Tree Emperor would definitely not fight. On one hand, he doesn't like fighting, and on the other, if he were to fight against an expert of the same level, it's very likely that his injuries, which were already under control, would relapse again."
"Of course, as long as the Great Phoenix Sage is here, there's no need for the Wutong Tree Emperor to fight anyone. The Phoenix race and the Divine Wutong Tree race live together, and they're almost one. The Great Phoenix Sage can also control the power of the Wutong Forest, the common ancestral land of the two races."
The Great Phoenix Sage was the current leader of the Phoenix race, an unparalleled Great Demon of the Degenerate Realm, and one of the top experts of the Vast Tianhuang Land.
As he spoke, a few crisp phoenix cries rang out from the Wutong Forest before them. Then, a few figures flew out of the Wutong Forest, heading towards Lin Feng and the others.
The one at the front was an azure phoenix. Its entire body was azure like jade, without a single flaw. It had the head of a chicken, the jaw of a swallow, the neck of a snake, the back of a turtle, and the tail of a fish. Its entire body shone with five-colored light. It wasn't big, only around six feet tall.
But seeing the five-colored light shimmering around this azure phoenix, Lin Feng and the others knew that this was a phoenix that had already begun to experience its first tribulation.
The Great Phoenix Sage, the Black Phoenix, Mo Yu, and the other phoenixes they had seen before all shone with golden light. Only after experiencing the first tribulation would the light around the phoenix race become five-colored.
If they completely passed the first tribulation and reached the Degenerate Realm, then no matter if it was a Crimson Phoenix, an Azure Phoenix, or a Black Phoenix, their feathers would all turn pure gold as they shone with five-colored light.
In this aspect, they were rather similar to the Primordial Celestial Dragon race. However, there were still quite a few differences between the two, and they couldn't be lumped together.
Beside the Great Phoenix Sage were old acquaintances. They were the Great Phoenix Sage, Crimson Phoenix Sage, and the Black Phoenix Mo Yu.
It was worth mentioning that Mo Yu had now achieved an Indestructible Demon Soul, so he had to be called the Great Sage Mo Yu.
When the Great Phoenix Sage saw Lin Feng, he nodded in greeting. "Greetings, Master of the Celestial Gate of Wonders."
The Great Sage Fei Ye and Mo Yu also bowed. "Master of the Celestial Gate of Wonders, how have you been?"
Lin Feng nodded with a smile and returned the greeting. "I'm the one who has disturbed you. You're too polite."
"Master of the Celestial Gate of Wonders, please come inside." The Great Phoenix Sage turned around and led the way. Lin Feng and the others immediately followed, while the Great Sage Fei Ye and Mo Yu followed on both sides.
Although Lin Feng had previously joked about leaving Shi Tianhao and Tuntun outside, it was just a joke. At this moment, Shi Tianhao and Tuntun naturally came in together. The two didn't cause trouble and obediently followed behind Lin Feng. They just looked around with interest.
The entire Parasol Tree Forest was peaceful and tranquil. Even though the demonic energy fluctuations linked together like the sky and the ocean, boundless, it didn't seem to be ferocious and violent, but was instead lofty, lofty, and had an otherworldly aura.
Under the guidance of the Great Phoenix Sage, the group of people came to the largest Wutong tree in the center of the Wutong Forest. The branches and leaves of the Wutong tree swayed slightly, and on one of the branches, an old man with a gentle and elegant face and a noble temperament appeared.
This old man cupped his hands towards Lin Feng, saying with a smile: "In front of the Master of the Celestial Gate, Jingfang Qingwu pays his respects here. I still have to thank fellow Daoist for letting little friend Lin Tong come over before, resolving this old man's difficulties."
This old man was the leader of the Divine Wutong Tree clan, the Wutong Tree Emperor.
Rays of light were projected behind the Wutong Tree Emperor, turning into human figures. There were middle-aged and young people, and all of them were dressed like scholars. Many of the Divine Wutong Trees in the Wutong Forest used their demonic power to project light shadows over. They followed behind the Wutong Tree Emperor and cupped their hands at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled and returned the greeting. "Wutong Tree Emperor, you're too kind. Tong 'er has seen the light of day again from the Kunpeng's belly. This is the will of heaven. I'm just doing what I can. Carrying out the ceremony has been of great help to Tong' er, and I, Xuanmen Tianzong, have even obtained the Pure Yang True Fire. I should be thanking you instead."
"Master of the Celestial Gate of Wonders, there's no need to be so polite." A clear voice sounded from the top of the giant tree where the Wutong Tree Emperor was. Then, a five-colored radiance descended and stood beside the Wutong Tree Emperor.
It was a female phoenix that was completely scarlet-gold in color and shone with five-colored light.
Unlike the other phoenixes like the Blue Phoenix Sage, this female phoenix was not only scarlet-gold in color, but there seemed to be five symbols carved all over her body.
The first symbol was virtue, the wing symbol was obedience, the back symbol was righteousness, the belly symbol was faith, and the ying symbol was benevolence.
These five symbols were not written in human language, but when Lin Feng and the others looked over, they could vaguely understand what they meant.
It was completely scarlet-gold in color, and there were five symbols on its body. It shone with five-colored light. It was a phoenix at the Last Days Realm.
Someone at this realm was undoubtedly the Great Phoenix Sage of this generation.
After the two parties exchanged greetings, the Great Phoenix Sage and the Wutong Tree Emperor invited Xuanmen Tianzong and the others to take their seats.
Regarding the grudge between Lin Feng and the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan indeed adopted a neutral stance. From what they knew, the Scarlet Thunder Dragon King wanted to interfere with Lin Feng's obtaining of the Yingzhou Immortal Mountain. Both parties were normal enemies. The Scarlet Thunder Dragon King was defeated by Lin Feng and died, and the Dragon Clan wanted to seek revenge on Lin Feng. It was all reasonable, and there was no right or wrong. Since that was the case, both parties would rely on their own abilities.
It was just that after Lin Feng killed the Scarlet Thunder Dragon King and refined him into his clone, the Phoenix Clan and the Divine Wutong Tree Clan had some complaints, but it was not enough to affect their relationship.
Be it the Great Phoenix Sage or the Wutong Tree Emperor, they were both open and honest, and they told Lin Feng what they thought. Lin Feng smiled and did not argue further. This involved the perception of different races, and there was no point in discussing it further.
If a human powerhouse died at the hands of the Great Phoenix Sage or the Wutong Tree Emperor, perhaps he would be given a proper burial. However, if he died at the hands of a dragon powerhouse or other demons, his grave would definitely be the other party's stomach.
The Great Phoenix Sage and the Wutong Tree Emperor did not continue on this topic.
After chatting for a while, Lin Feng went straight to the point and stated the purpose of his visit. However, he used his transcendence energy to transmit his voice, so only the Great Phoenix Sage and the Wutong Tree Emperor could hear him.
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but please tell me, my friends," Lin Feng looked at the Wutong Tree Emperor and said, "Who was the culprit behind the calamity that befell you back then?"
"I know this is a rude question, but this is an important matter. If I have offended you, please do not take it to heart."
The Great Phoenix Sage and the Wutong Tree Emperor looked at each other and remained silent for a while. After a while, the Wutong Tree Emperor sighed slightly and said, "I've embarrassed myself in front of the Celestial Sect Master. Even now, I am still not sure who that person is."
Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the Wutong Tree Emperor. The Great Phoenix Sage nodded, and the Great Phoenix Sage said, "I was not in the Wutong Forest when I was out. The other party suddenly attacked and injured Jing Fang. However, the other party seemed to be shrouded in mist, and it was difficult to discern her true appearance. She did not reveal any special abilities, so I was unable to see the true form of her race."
She seemed to know what Lin Feng was thinking. She shook her head and said, "She is not the Heavenly Enchantress who is currently active in the Infinite Wilderness. Although there are many similarities between the two, the Heavenly Enchantress only appeared after the last war between the two worlds. She has only recently reached the Degenerate Realm."
Lin Feng said quietly, "Even if she had already come into being before the war, but at the time, if she wanted to injure fellow daoist Wutong Tree Emperor in the Wutong Forest and still escape unscathed without revealing anything, the possibility is not high."
"However, the Enchantress and the Death Prison Heavenly Wolf under her command are senior and junior. Since that is the case, she must have a master."
The Great Phoenix Sage nodded slightly. "I have the same guess as well. Therefore, although I have to stay in the Wutong Forest all these years, I have also sent Cang Yuan to investigate the Heavenly Enchantress. However, the other party is very perceptive, and her whereabouts are also very secretive. I have never found anything."
Silently, the Wutong Tree Emperor said, "Back then, that person was extremely powerful, and for some reason, had a deep understanding of the Wutong Forest. He broke through many restrictions."
"When the Heavenly Phoenix went out, I was the only one in the Wutong Forest. It was extremely dangerous to face that person. If not for what happened later, I'm afraid that my injuries would have been even more severe, and I might even have died completely."
"Oh?" Lin Feng's eyes flickered as he looked at the Wutong Tree Emperor.
