The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 234: Wutong Ancestral Tree, Phoenix Clan’s Past

Chaofeng City.

The style is similar to Return Dream City.

Various races are mixed together and creatures live together.

If there is any difference, it is the subject.

The overlords of Guimeng City, the Mengmo clan, live in seclusion and are active between reality and illusion, collecting dreams. Various clans in the city flourish, and there is no trend of any one clan dominating the city.

The Danfeng clan, the overlords of Chaofeng City, are bright and flamboyant, act in a high-profile manner, like to show off themselves, and wear gorgeous clothes. As a result, there are many bird clans in Chaofeng City, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city of a hundred birds.

Xuanming followed the arrangements of the Danfeng clan all the way. At present, it seems that the Feng clan has good intentions, but whether it is true or not, and what their intentions are, is unknown.

Watch the situation calmly and act accordingly.

Anyway, he traveled around the world and practiced in the secular world, and every experience was a kind of tempering. Maybe he was just worrying too much, but this matter was not bad for Xuan Yan.

They were brought into an exquisite courtyard. It looked small from the outside, but was actually very spacious inside, covering an area of a hundred miles.

As one of the overlords of the demon clan, the Phoenix clan is unique in the world in the art of space. Xuanming is not surprised at this kind of space magic similar to Hu Tian's.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanming and the three young friends, please take a rest for a while. I will come back to disturb you later."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

After exchanging greetings and a few polite words, Huo Feng left.

Xuanming took the three little ones to visit the courtyard. The ground was paved with jade and gold, and the decorations were gorgeous and magnificent. Both the architectural style and the garden scenery were colorful and very much in the style of the Phoenix clan.

This was Xuanming's first time living in such a luxurious place. The bed was made of paulownia wood and the water was sweet spring water. He really enjoyed himself.

In the next few days, Xuanming, accompanied by Huofeng, visited Chaofeng City and deeply experienced the local customs and culture.

The Phoenix Clan is not in a hurry.

He wasn't in a hurry either.

---

Five days later, Huo Feng came again.

This time, I didn't take them to visit Chaofeng City, but walked to the center of the city. There grew a towering tree, about five hundred feet high, with branches pointing to the sky, red as fire.

This is a scene in Chaofeng City. It is said that it was split from the ancestral root of the Wutong tree of the Danfeng clan and has been growing in Chaofeng City for thousands of years.

Xuanming had visited here before. Although he did not explore it carefully, he could see the clues and knew that this tree had other mysteries.

as predicted!

The area near the sycamore tree has been cleared.

Elder Danfeng raised her white hand lightly, and a fiery red light fell on the paulownia tree, and then she pinched the magic formula with her hand.

The paulownia tree suddenly bloomed with brilliant brilliance.

A door appeared on the tree trunk that was so thick that it took several people to hug it, and it was also a whirlpool.

"Fellow Taoist, please!"

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Elder Fire Phoenix raised his hand, Xuanming bowed, took the lead and stepped through the vortex.

The laws of space are imposed on you.

It is somewhat similar to riding on the Qingluan.

After the world spun around, a strong fire spiritual energy hit him in the face. Upon closer inspection, he found himself in a continuous volcano group, which was more majestic than any volcano Xuanming had ever visited. The fire spiritual energy was purer than ever before.

He was standing under another paulownia tree. Judging from its aura, it had the same origin as the one in Chaofeng City. They should be offshoots of the mother paulownia tree and were used as coordinates to facilitate transmission.

Looking up, the whole mountain is red, like the morning glow, and is planted with large and small sycamore trees, which is brilliant and dazzling.

The light flickered, and the three little ones followed closely behind with the fire phoenix. The fire phoenix continued to lead the way, climbing all the way. Birds kept appearing, including flamingos, fire finches, turkeys, fire storks and many other species.

The cub tilted its head and stared at the visitor, filled with curiosity. The Qi-cultivating demon cultivators saluted Huo Feng and Xuan Ming, displaying the upbringing of the Dan Feng clan. The higher one went, the more lush and fiery red the sycamore trees became, their trunks thicker, and their age older.

Starting from halfway up the mountain, phoenix cubs appeared one after another, either popping up from the grass or upside down from the trunks of sycamore trees. Each one was plump and looked delicious.

Most of them are fire phoenix species, and a small number are other phoenix species. There are cubs of blue luan, swan, etc. There are even a few yellow phoenix cubs, which are silly and adorable.

Xuan Yan tilted his head and opened his eyes wide, looking at these cubs of the same kind with curiosity, and couldn't help feeling a sense of closeness.

A mysterious light flickered, and she transformed into a chubby baby about five years old, with double buns, a purple bellyband, black trouser legs, bells on her wrists and ankles, and skin as delicate and smooth as white lotus root.

Seeing that Xuan Yan had already transformed at such a young age, most of the Phoenix cubs were stunned. Only a small number of Phoenix cubs were unwilling to be outdone. They gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, mobilizing their magic power and holding it in for a long time.

With a popping sound, they were suddenly suspended in the air, fell down on the ground, and each of them turned into a three-headed baby.

As we continued to move upwards, we saw more and more phoenix birds transforming into human form, each one more powerful than the other. Regardless of whether they were men or women, they all had handsome facial features, beautiful looks, and gorgeous clothes.

They all saluted Xuanming, with the corners of their mouths raised, exuding kindness, especially the eyes looking at Xuanyan, which were full of undisguised closeness and kindness.

Watching along the way, Xuanming had some vague guesses about the Phoenix Clan's purpose. The root of the problem was indeed Xuanyan. So far, he had not seen a single cuckoo in the Phoenix Clan's habitat.

The top of Fengqi Mountain.

The thousand-foot-high sycamore mother tree connects the sky and the earth.

The treetops are like a huge canopy covering the entire mountain, with bright colors and eye-catching. They are also like a huge flame, burning hotly and brilliantly.

There is a huge bird's nest on the tree, which is fiery red and filled with rich spiritual energy and Tao principles.

When Xuanming and his group arrived, a phoenix with feathers like the finest rubies spread its wings and flew into the sky. It flew out of the bird's nest, landed on the paulownia tree, and transformed into a tall female demon in red.

She has willow-shaped eyebrows and phoenix-shaped eyes, three-dimensional facial features, a bright and elegant appearance, as brilliant as a summer flower, and a kind of innate nobility and coldness. She exudes a powerful aura of a queen.

She is the leader of the Danfeng clan, the overlord of Yuxiu Mountain, and also a supreme demon king with three flowers gathered at the top of the head.

"Seeing is believing. Fellow Daoist Xuanming is indeed so extraordinary that one can forget the mundane world. Feng Xi from the Phoenix Clan has met you."

Feng Xi bowed gracefully.

Xuanming bowed his head in return, and said politely: "Daoyou Fengxi is so extraordinary that this old Taoist is amazed."

After the pleasantries, Feng Xi invited Xuanming to visit Fengchao, and Xuanming naturally followed the host's wishes.

The mother sycamore tree moved without wind, and a red leaf fluttered down. When it came in front of Xuanming, it was more than ten feet tall.

They boarded the leaves, which flew into the sky and carried them straight into the nest. They passed through a thin barrier and an invisible ripple spread out.

The scene in front of them changed instantly, and they appeared inside the volcano. There was a vast sea of fire, surging magma, red mountain walls covered with fire crystals, and under their feet was a luxurious palace made of flames. All kinds of fire treasures gathered there, all kinds of fire spiritual plants grew wildly, and palm-sized fire elves shuttled around.

Even though Xuanming claimed to have seen the world, he was still amazed by the scene he saw after entering Fengqi Mountain.

Inside the main hall, the host and the guest took their seats.

The tea is like fire, but it feels as cool as ice and snow when you drink it in your stomach. Even Xuanming's magic power is pure and can only be praised sincerely for being a good tea.

Feng Xi grinned and waited for Xuan Ming to finish his cup of tea. The flame spirit flew over to the teacup with the teapot in hand and filled it with another cup before she got to the point:
"I believe you already have some guesses in your mind. I invited you here because of this little cuckoo."

Feng Xi looked at Xuan Yan and reached out to hug her.

Xuan Yan looked at Xuan Ming, and after getting permission, she went towards Feng Xi and was held in his arms.

After rubbing the fluff on Xuanyan's head, Feng Xi continued, "To be honest with you, this little cuckoo is of great use to our Phoenix Clan.

Among the five phoenixes, the cuckoo has always been the smallest in number. In the ancient war to expel the witch clan and the demon clan, our phoenix clan always followed the Taoist Master Nanhua. Although we made great contributions, we also suffered heavy losses. The cuckoo bloodline withered, and the other four phoenixes were also seriously injured.

Our ancestor even suffered heavy damage in order to suppress a demon king. He was on the verge of death and had to take the risk of Nirvana.

In order to increase the success rate, the ancestor took a risk and performed forbidden techniques, and has been dormant for thousands of years.

Ten years ago, a breath of air was heard from the place where the ancestor was in seclusion, but it was fleeting, and the ancestor tree of Wutong passed down an order.

It was said that although the ancestor relied on forbidden techniques to survive the calamity of Nirvana, he was hindered by the forbidden techniques and could not fully awaken on his own. Only by gathering the power of the Five Phoenixes and setting up a formation could the ancestor be helped to recover smoothly and live a second life.
