This is so dishonest!

Chapter 96: The Phoenix Clan who likes to slack off; the Spiritual Root Exchange Conference of All Worlds

"The crown and clothes are proper, but the spiritual treasures are not proper. This is called yin and yang, and it is the Tao!"

"Since the spiritual treasures are not proper anymore, it is reasonable to create some improper formations, right? This is called the birth of the Tao."

"When the Demon King travels, he must be accompanied by thousands of demon soldiers, flying and beating drums, and touring the space... No suitable followers? That's easy. I still have some followers in the Taisha Heavenly Palace."

"This is how it is... this is how it is... this is how we can have a perfect debut plan!"

In [The Realm of Great Dao], Demon Ancestor Luohou looked at Xuanqing who was actively proposing ideas for expansion.

He looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Why do I feel that under the leadership of the 'Second Demon Ancestor', the future of my demon path will be dark?"

For some reason, Luohou suddenly felt that this great cause of evil was not necessary.

~~~~
In the vast south of the sky, there is an immortal volcano.

In the Phoenix Tower, the jade buildings are filled with spiritual energy, like a cage made of gauze. Divine light shines and the laws are running. The phoenix soars and hundreds of birds sing and dance.

"elder sister?"

"Eh? Where are you going, sister?"

A beautiful figure shining with fairy light walked out of the void.

She wore cloud-like shoes, and her slender and straight legs were as white as cream, with perfect lines. A long skirt with wide sleeves covered her graceful figure.

His face was by no means gentle, and even a little cold. His pair of phoenix eyes were as deep as a fire abyss, and there was a heroic air between his brows. His three thousand long hairs fluttered in the wind like dancing flames.

This god is none other than the Vermillion Bird of the Phoenix clan, whose innate true name is Lingguang.

She is also one of the Nine Heavens of Tai Su, the Goddess of Chi Xiao.

"Strange? Is your sister out playing again?"

Zhuque circled the Phoenix Terrace but did not see Yuanhuang.

She came to the sycamore tree in front of the secret realm.

The innate phoenix tree is currently practicing breathing exercises. The brilliant and dazzling innate spiritual energy is flowing in the void, like a rainbow across the sky, like a dragon swimming in the Milky Way, or just like a real phoenix soaring and dancing, it is magnificent.

Between the thousands of branches and leaves of the paulownia tree, worlds of all sizes are suspended, shining like stars.

Within these worlds live the young of hundreds and thousands of species of the Phoenix clan, including the Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, Blue Luan, Swan, Piercing Young, Dapeng, White Crane, Swift, Bifang, Chongming... all within them.

Under the care of the innate spiritual breath, the cubs followed the guidance of the qi and practiced with the innate paulownia tree.

"Wutong, have you seen your sister?" Suzaku asked.

"Nope."

Xiantian Wutong Tree was calm and composed. While observing the progress of the little guys' cultivation, he answered Zhuque: "I haven't seen Ah Huang for a long time. I don't know where she went."

Upon hearing this, Zhuque frowned slightly, "Sister, this is too unreasonable. As the head of the clan, it's ok for you to be away from the clan often, but you don't even send a message?"

"Patriarch? Our Phoenix clan has this thing?"

Xiantian Wutong Tree said slowly, "We have five ancestors and ten elders in the Phoenix Clan. Three of them are traveling outside and have not returned for many years. Of the remaining twelve, only Qingluo (the leader of the Qingluan Clan) and Qingchen (the leader of the Chongming Clan) are working hard."

"Qingyu (Chief of the Swift Clan) comes back occasionally to visit, and then goes to the North Sea with Qingyuan (Chief of the Xuanchu Clan)."

"Ahem, I remember talking about this question at the last conference." Zhuque's eyes looked a little unnatural. Although she was not completely idle, she seemed to be slacking off a lot at ordinary times.

"Yeah, you remember there was a convention."

Xiantian Wutong Tree was quite melancholy: "But I am usually the one who convenes the conference, I am also the one who makes the development plan for the tribe, I am usually the one who teaches the tribe members to practice, and I am also the one who blocks the idle gods from coming to Tiannan..."

"There is also the collection of spiritual roots and treasures, the search for innate treasures, the opening up of worlds big and small... there are so many things to mention that it's hard to finish."

"If Ah Huang hadn't remembered that he was the tribe leader every time he came back and told me about the development purpose and overall plan, I think our Phoenix tribe could have changed its name to the 'Wutong tribe'."

The Phoenix Clan, from top to bottom, is actually managed by the Xiantian Wutong Tree.

As the chief steward, he single-handedly supports the entire Tiannan.

Yuan Huang is extremely happy being the patriarch.

Apart from attending meetings at Taiweiyuan and copying some development principles for her own spiritual roots, she devoted herself to studying all kinds of strange and bizarre magical powers.

Then it's time to look for various treasures and pick up things.

Zhuque also felt that Xiantian Wutong Tree had worked so hard, and felt a little guilty towards him.

So she promised: "When my sister comes back, I will stop her, pin her down in Tiannan, and then give you a holiday."

"Take a long vacation!"

"You said the same thing last time." Xiantian Wutong Tree was not in a good mood.

"But Ah Huang should be back soon. I received some things a while ago, but I haven't fully understood them yet."

"What is that?" Suzaku asked curiously.

"Goodness."

A dazzling paulownia leaf floated into Suzaku's palm.

"Ah Huang said that this was made by [Fire Virtue Heavenly Dao] and it has many magical effects. She also got me a few spiritual treasures of merit."

The innate Wutong tree conveyed the matter of the merit to Suzaku.

“This is good stuff!”

Zhuque's eyes sparkled, "As long as we have the [Fire Virtue Heavenly Dao], we can greatly increase the strength of our clan!"

"Yes, this merit is very effective in assisting enlightenment, strengthening luck, guiding cultivation, and hatching cubs!"

Xiantian Wutongshu talked about several cases of his own experiments.

Suzaku listened attentively, a look of excitement flashing across his beautiful face.

"But, this thing also has disadvantages."

Xiantian Wutong Tree said, "It's not good if it's too useful. The tribesmen will become overly dependent on it. If this continues, it may foster a desire for leisure among the tribesmen, thinking that as long as they have merits, everything will be fine."

"Wutong is right."

Zhuque nodded gently: "So, when promoting this merit, we must also create a corresponding punishment system. The two promote each other and guide it correctly, so that we can best play the role of this [Fire Virtue Heavenly Dao]."

"That's right. You and my fellow Taoists have the same idea." Xiantian Wutong Tree agreed. "It's just that I haven't figured it out yet. I don't know how to set up this punishment system."

"We still have to wait for Ah Huang to come back and study [Fire Virtue Heavenly Dao] carefully before we can have a better idea."

"Then let's wait for my sister to come back."

For the next period of time, Suzaku stayed in Phoenix Terrace.

She followed Xiantian Wutong to teach the little ones how to practice, and also deduced things about luck and merit.

"By the way, Wutong."

Zhuque looked at his own spiritual roots and asked, "You said some time ago that you made some knowledgeable Taoist friends."

"But I don't think I've ever seen you interact with them?"

"No need to communicate."

Xiantian Wutong replied: "I have many fellow Taoists. They are all very busy. Some of them are not in Honghuang yet, and some do not want to show up, so we usually communicate online."

"Online communication?" Zhuque heard a new word and was a little confused.

"You can think of online communication as a conversation across space in a virtual world."

Xiantian Wutong patiently explained to Zhuque: "This statement was made by one of our fellow Taoists."

"I only had a few fellow Taoists before, including Ren Shen Guo, Huang Zhongli and others. It was not until I met fellow Taoist Bi'an some time ago that He led us to form a mutual aid committee."

"What mutual aid committee?" Zhuque heard a new word and his eyes were confused.

"The Spiritual Root Mutual Assistance Committee of All Heavens and Worlds."

"It means the exchange and mutual assistance of spiritual roots all over the world. This is the concept proposed by the president, that is, fellow Taoists on the other side."

After hearing this, Zhuque felt that it was very impressive.

She felt that this "Spiritual Roots Mutual Assistance Committee of All Heavens and All Worlds" was very noble.

"Of course, we announced another name to the public: Senluo Palace, which means the myriad things in the universe. And because we all have spiritual roots, it also means lush and green."

Xiantian Wutong Tree said happily: "I am a founding member of Senluo Palace."

"Your guild leader also has spiritual roots?"

"It's natural."

Xiantian Wutongshu said as a matter of course: "If you don't have spiritual roots, how can you be our president?"

"Our president's code name is 'The Great Power of the Other Shore'. This code name is a spiritual root."

"Indeed." Zhuque calculated on the spot and found that it was indeed a spiritual root, and an innate spiritual root.

"Right!"

"Can I take a look at your committee?" Suzaku became curious about this organization.

"no!"

Xiantian Wutong Tree said firmly: "You don't have a spiritual root, why do you want to join our committee?"

Zhuque smiled awkwardly: "I'm just curious."

"It's not okay to be curious. We have principles." said the Xiantian Wutong Tree.

"Okay then." Suzaku didn't force it.

"but--"

Xiantian Wutong Tree added: "Our committee headquarters is Senluo Palace, you can't join it."

"But I can make some adjustments and it should be no problem to get into the 'civil engineering family'."

"How to adapt?" Zhuque suddenly became interested.

"Disguise as a spiritual root!"

Xiantian Wutong Tree came up with an idea, "Find a spiritual root in the clan and disguise it."

"Is this ok?"

The Vermilion Bird acted quickly, making a stunning turn on the spot and transformed into a vermilion fruit tree.

The Xiantian Wutong Tree was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time for it to react.

"...Are you too skilled?" He had reason to suspect that this was not the first time Suzaku had done this.

"Next, how do we get into the 'civil engineering family'?" Suzaku asked with great interest.

"Wait a moment, I'll go apply."

The Xiantian Wutong Tree began to apply at the headquarters "Senluo Hall".

[Qingtong]: Is everyone there?

[The Powerful One on the Other Shore]: Capture Qingtong alive!

[Xiao Sang]: Capture Qingtong alive! +1
【Guide Immortal】: Disrupt the formation.

【Sanhua Niangniang】：Meow~~
[Yueyuezi]: The Queen is being naughty again.

[Da Li]: What’s the matter, Qingtong?

【竹剑】：Everyone is here.

……

As the innate phoenix tree began to bubble up, all the diving members emerged.
