Actually, Miao Yi knew Charcoal's temper. Charcoal's actions were definitely related to the old dragon god's attitude towards Charcoal from the beginning. Miao Yi really wanted to ask the old dragon god why he didn't like Charcoal from the beginning. He could still call Charcoal a reptile in the past, but now that Charcoal had evolved into a true dragon, he could be considered part of the dragon race. Disregarding Charcoal's character, did he really look down on him that much?
Miao Yi felt that Charcoal wasn't bad and had his merits. However, he didn't ask this question in the end. There was no need to argue with the old dragon god.
He looked around and asked, "Where's that little phoenix?"
Charcoal lifted his head and asked, "Sir, are you asking about the bird?"
Miao Yi was stunned. Wasn't it called a bird? Why did it become a bird? He nodded and said, "That's right."
Charcoal lowered his head and breathed out a heavy dragon's breath. He seemed a little depressed and said, "She left."
"Left?" Miao Yi was surprised. "Where did she go?"
It was Inferno Dragon Head who answered, "She returned to the Ancient Ice Plains. This place is only suitable for her to incubate. For true cultivation, the phoenix nest is more suitable for her. She will occasionally come over to take a look."
"Oh!" Miao Yi nodded to show that he understood. "I'll have to pay a visit to the phoenix nest later."
Charcoal immediately wagged his tail excitedly. "Let's go together. Sir, I'll send you there."
Miao Yi didn't object, but Inferno Dragon Head mocked, "She doesn't welcome a reptile like you at all. Why do you have to ask for trouble?"
Charcoal said angrily, "Old bastard …" Seeing Miao Yi's glare, he gave in and laid down again.
Miao Yi looked at the two of them. He seemed to understand something from their tone. It seemed that Charcoal and that little phoenix had some sort of story.
After a moment of silence, Inferno Dragon Head suddenly asked, "Young man, have there been any changes in the world beyond the Primordial Era?"
"There have been some changes. Ying Jiuguang has fallen from power …" Miao Yi briefly explained the situation in the outside world.
Not only Inferno Dragon Head, but Charcoal was also interested.
The Inferno Dragon Head only knew about Ying Jiuguang. He also knew that Ying Jiuguang held a high position in this dynasty, but he had never had any dealings with him. After all, he had already been destroyed by the Demon Monk Nan Bo many years ago. He and Ying Jiuguang were not from the same era. Therefore, he was not interested in whether Ying Jiuguang would fall or not. What he was concerned about was whether the situation in the outside world would be beneficial to the Dragon Clan.
When he heard that the focus of attention was on the Undying Wood, he could not help but sneer, "It's good that we found the Undying Wood. It would be best if we could make Qing Zhu and the others fight to the death."
Miao Yi understood his feelings. He probably couldn't wait for the world to fall into chaos because of the Undying Wood, so the Dragon Clan could seize the opportunity to escape. However, when he heard about the Undying Wood, Miao Yi's eyes flickered. "I wonder if Senior has seen the Undying Wood before?"
The Inferno Dragon Head said, "I have. A long time ago, there was one on the Ancient Ice Plains. But later, someone sought longevity and got permission from the Phoenixes to cut it down."
Miao Yi gritted his teeth. He didn't know if the Undying Wood in the pocket world was real. If it was, then he had seen a ghost. How could it have been chopped off by someone? He couldn't help but ask, "There's a rumor that drinking the blood of the Undying Wood will grant longevity. There shouldn't be a need to chop down the entire tree, right?"
The Inferno Dragon Head snorted coldly, "It's just selfishness. Back then, the Phoenixes owed a favor to someone and agreed to give the Undying Wood to him. In the end, that person wanted longevity alone and did not want anyone to be his equal. After he succeeded, he chopped down the Undying Wood."
Miao Yi asked suspiciously, "In other words, that person really obtained longevity?"
The Inferno Dragon Head laughed heartily when he heard this. "Longevity. So what if he obtained longevity? That person must have obtained longevity. Unfortunately, his strength was insufficient. In the end, he still died at the hands of the Demon Monk Nan Bo. Young man, longevity and strength are not proportional. Longevity does not mean that no one can kill you. So what if I obtained longevity? Didn't I still end up like this? So what if the Demon Monk Nan Bo reached the Divine Soul Realm and obtained longevity? The cycle of nature has its own logic. It is incompatible with this world, so how can he obtain longevity? "
Miao Yi said, "But as far as I know, the Demon Monk Nan Bo's divine soul is not destroyed. It is only temporarily sealed. There is still a chance for him to be reborn." He did not say that he had already found the place where he was sealed.
The Inferno Dragon Head sighed. "The Demon Monk Nan Bo is indeed a peerless monster. But so what if he is reborn? Does he really think that he can stand above all living beings forever? That is wishful thinking! Everything exists for a reason. How can it be bound by one person forever? Can he make all the fishes live without dehydration? Can he make birds and flowers not exist? Can he make people not feel joy, anger, sorrow, or joy? No one can control even the simplest of things, so how can anyone truly rule over all living beings? "
Miao Yi said, "Isn't Senior worried that the Demon Monk Nan Bo will attack the Dragon Clan again after he escapes?"
The Inferno Dragon Head said, "The Dragon Clan is already in such a state. What else is there to worry about? Young man, you must understand that no matter how high your cultivation base is or how strong you are, there will come a time when you will fall. Only by following the flow of nature and letting the flowers bloom and wilt is the path to immortality in this world. So what if the Demon Monk Nan Bo escapes? It's fine if he doesn't commit evil. As long as he commits evil again, there will naturally be someone who should appear in the unseen world. Naturally, there will be someone who will deal with him. "
Miao Yi did not dare to agree with this. Even if the Inferno Dragon Head's words were reasonable, he had to admit that they were reasonable. But what he said was only the greater truth. Everyone had to face the reality of the matter. Even if Miao Yi could think it through, he couldn't just watch as the Demon Monk Nan Bo killed himself or his family without doing anything. If that was really the case, why would he need to struggle so hard to survive? Why would he fight to the death?
So Miao Yi felt that it was meaningless to talk about this with the Inferno Dragon Head. He returned to the topic, "What does the Undying Wood look like?"
He felt that the legends he heard were unreliable. He still wanted to hear what this person, who had witnessed it with his own eyes, had to say. Presumably, it would be more reliable.
"Its entire body is as white as jade, and there is a bloodline within …" The Inferno Dragon Head explained everything he knew about the Undying Wood in detail.
Miao Yi couldn't help but laugh bitterly as he listened and memorized it. It seemed that the tree that Feng Beichen chopped down was really the Undying Wood. He had eyes but failed to recognize the golden inlaid jade. A great opportunity to live forever was actually chopped down by Feng Beichen just like that. Thinking that the Ancient Ice Plains also had a tree chopped down, Miao Yi couldn't help but ask, "Who is the person who chopped down the Ancient Ice Plains' Undying Wood?"
"Haha!" The Inferno Dragon Head seemed to have heard a joke as he laughed incessantly. After a while, he slowly said, "There aren't many people in this world that the Phoenix Clan owes a favor to. The person who can enter the Ancient Ice Plains and chop down the Undying Wood … The person who imparted you the technique should know about it. Didn't he tell you?"
"Uh …" Miao Yi was stunned. Could it be Lord White? But when he thought about it again, he felt that it wasn't right. Just now, the Inferno Dragon Head said that the person had already died in the hands of the Demon Monk Nan Bo. Lord White didn't die in the hands of the Demon Monk Nan Bo … Suddenly, he was shocked and said, "Could it be his master?"
The Inferno Dragon Head sighed and didn't deny it. "Speaking of which, the rise of the Demon Monk Nan Bo is also related to him. In the early years, the Demon Monk Nan Bo wasn't his match. He fell into his hands for committing crimes and was imprisoned by him. However, because he came to chop down the Undying Wood, the Demon Monk Nan Bo found an opportunity to escape, giving the Demon Monk Nan Bo the chance to rise. The Phoenix Clan let him chop down the Undying Wood, and the Dragon Clan didn't stop him. In the end, he died in the hands of the Demon Monk Nan Bo while he was chopping down the tree. The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan also encountered a catastrophe. Don't you think this is the cycle of the heavens? Who can be blamed? "
Miao Yi was surprised that there was such a thing. It seemed that his cheap Advisor had really chopped it down. Yang Qing said that the commotion outside the Undying Wood was caused by Lord White. Could it be that the hairpin came from the Ancient Ice Plains' Undying Wood?
Then he thought of Feng Beichen. Feng Beichen chopped down the Undying Wood, but in the end, he also died in his hands. Could this also be considered retribution? Both of the people who chopped down the Undying Wood were killed … There were some things that he didn't want to think too deeply about. Otherwise, he would feel as if there really was a pair of eyes staring at him from the unseen world. With so many blood debts on his hands, was it strange to think about it? It was human.
After a long conversation, Miao Yi didn't stay here for long. He was a little curious about the new owner of the phoenix nest and was ready to go take a look. Besides, the phoenix nest was also suitable for his cultivation, so he decided to make a trip there.
Charcoal was quite excited about this. He knew that Miao Yi couldn't invoke his arts to fly here, but it didn't have a problem after he evolved into a True Dragon. He clamored to send Miao Yi there.
Miao Yi bade farewell to the Dragon God's remnant soul, exited the dragon cave, and jumped onto Charcoal's back.
A strong gust of wind surged, and Charcoal soared straight up into the sky. Miao Yi held onto Charcoal's dragon horn and followed him into the sky.
Circling high in the sky, Charcoal determined his direction and shot out like a shooting star, quickly crossing the sky above the Eternal Heaven Valley.
Riding on his dragon, Miao Yi looked at Charcoal, who was excitedly flying with his head and tail wagging. He could vaguely feel that Charcoal seemed to be looking forward to seeing the little phoenix. He couldn't help but ask, "Fat thief, you can fly here. You should be able to see the little phoenix often, right?"
Charcoal sighed and said, "Of course not. It's too boring here. I do want to go and play with her, but every time I come, the Ice Phoenix will stop me. The Ancient Ice Plains are so sad!"
When he reached the sky above the Ancient Ice Plains, Miao Yi looked down and recalled the time when he and Charcoal broke out of the encirclement. "He managed to escape from that Yu Sha. You've been in the Primordial Era for so many years. I'm sure you won't always stay in the Eternal Heaven Valley. Did you meet him again?"
Charcoal chuckled and said, "Even if he didn't look for me, I still wanted to find him and settle the score. Unfortunately, I don't know where he's hiding. I can be considered the nemesis of Evil Spirits now. They all hide from me."
Thinking about it, Miao Yi nodded.
"They're here, they're here. The one stopping us is here again." Charcoal suddenly let out a strange cry. "Milord, it's up to you now."
Miao Yi looked ahead and saw countless colorful specks of light floating in the distance. The undulating peaks of the ice valley below suddenly turned a dazzling blue. Balls of blue flames soared into the sky and attached themselves to the colorful specks of light. In an instant, they turned into a flock of Ice Flame Phoenixes.
This wasn't the first time Miao Yi had encountered such a situation. He had experienced it the last time he came here. Even though he wasn't afraid of the Ice Flame Phoenixes with his cultivation, and with his current cultivation, it should be even easier to deal with them. However, these Ice Flame Phoenixes couldn't be killed or exterminated, so it would be a little troublesome to deal with them.
An icy blue bead appeared in Miao Yi's hand. It was the Heart of Ice and Fire.
