The lingering fragrance of the spiritual fruits and immortal wine in the Phoenix Heavenly Palace still lingered in the hall. Yuan Feng rose and solemnly bowed to Wu Gu.

Her eyes sparkled with longing for the climb and a hint of barely perceptible trepidation, her voice clear and sincere.

"Fellow Daoist Wugu possesses unparalleled divine power and unfathomable cultivation, reaching a supreme realm beyond our comprehension. Our encounter today is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for our Phoenix Clan. I wonder if you would be willing to sit down and discuss the Dao with us, whose cultivation is shallow, and together explore the mysteries of the Great Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Gu's expression remained calm. He naturally knew that the path of cultivation was solitary and long, and that working in isolation was ultimately not the right way. Although Wu Gu's cultivation level far surpassed that of others at this moment, he was not without true like-minded individuals in the future, so he nodded in agreement.

"Good. The Great Dao is boundless, and cultivation is arduous. We cultivators should verify each other's understanding, rather than hoarding our own knowledge. Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng, please explain your respective Great Daos first, and I will speak later."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng's eyes immediately shone with an uncontrollable light of surprise.

Yuan Feng knew that this was a rare opportunity, and without being modest, he immediately manifested the Dharma form of the Great Dao, with the Southern Bright Fire swirling around his body, and began to expound his understanding of the origin of the Great Dao.

"The path to Nirvana transcends the order of time and surpasses birth and death; its meaning is profound and mysterious, existing in the space between existence and nothingness..."

Yuan Feng's Daoist chanting was initially somewhat immature, but as the story unfolded, the Daoist aura around her became increasingly powerful and refined.

Behind it, a phoenix phantom appeared, undergoing a cycle of burning, annihilation, and rebirth amidst endless divine fire. Each flap of its wings caused the mysterious river of phoenix clan fortune to ripple.

Gradually, the Great Dao of Fire, the Great Dao of Life and Death, and the destiny of the race began to merge in her unconscious deductions. A new Daoist rhythm containing the true meaning of annihilation, reincarnation, and rebirth—the prototype of the acquired Phoenix Nirvana Great Dao—was born in the strange phenomenon above Yuan Feng's head.

Wu Gu quietly observed the changes, secretly praising it in his heart:

"As expected of the first batch of innate deities after the birth of the primordial world, their aptitude and comprehension are indeed extraordinary. Although the rudimentary form of the acquired Great Dao was opened unintentionally, it has already revealed infinite potential."

He concluded that Yuan Feng himself had not yet grasped the value of this path, and since he had encountered such a talented person, he should naturally guide him.

Subsequently, the other elders of the Phoenix Clan at the Great Luo Realm explained their own paths in turn, mainly focusing on the Great Dao of Fire and its derived laws. Among them, the Great Elder Jin Ning had the deepest understanding of the Great Dao of Fire.

Wu Gu listened attentively and absorbed the essence, deepening his understanding of the Nirvana Dao to two levels. He also gained some understanding of the newly developed Acquired Phoenix Nirvana Dao by Yuan Feng, and his understanding was even deeper than Yuan Feng's.

Wugu himself had also drawn on the strengths of many others in the Great Dao of Fire, making some progress. Two more branches were added to the Great Dao Tree in the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows.

After the Phoenix Clan members finished speaking, it was Wu Gu's turn.

Wugu did not rush to demonstrate the most profound Dao of Creation, but instead began by explaining the Dao of the Five Elements.

"The Five Elements are the foundation of all things, the beginning of the Great Dao..."

As soon as Wu Gu finished speaking, the void above his head trembled, and the extraordinary phenomena of the Five Elements Great Dao of the Eighth Perfection Realm unfolded with a roar.

But then, the five colors of divine light—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—soared into the sky. When they interacted and cycled, they manifested a magnificent scene of the flourishing of all things and the brilliance of civilization. When they countered and cycled, they revealed the desolation of the world collapsing and the end of an era.

Its profound Daoist principles and complete Daoist laws and runes point directly to the essence of the Five Elements, far surpassing the Phoenix Clan's singular understanding of fire.

Wugu spoke for hundreds of years about the five elements and their interactions with matter, from energy cycles to the balance of the universe, before finally revealing the innate five elements of the eight realms to all the phoenix beings.

All the phoenixes in the main hall, including the Yuan Phoenix, were awestruck by the magnificent and vast landscape of the Great Dao, their eyes dazzled and their minds captivated.

Centuries later, the Daoist principles of the Five Elements gradually diminished.

Wugu changed the subject, his aura becoming even more profound and ethereal.

"However, even though the innate Great Dao is powerful, it has its limits. To transcend these limitations, one must find one's own path."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng's divine sense trembled violently, and she vaguely grasped the key point.

Immediately afterwards, Wugu began to expound on his fundamental Dao—the Dao of Creation.

"My way is called 'Creation.' It is not about following rules and regulations, but about creating something from nothing, opening up new possibilities, and taking the essence of all the great Daos to evolve it..."

Wugu did not manifest the complete phenomena of the Great Dao of Creation, lest the Daoist aura be too strong and harm the audience, but his words already contained the supreme meaning of opening up chaos and evolving the vast world.

He explained in detail how to use one's own will as the core to refine the essence of countless laws and principles, and ultimately form one's own unique acquired Great Dao.

At the crucial point, Wu Gu looked directly at Yuan Feng, his Daoist voice booming like a great bell, striking straight at his heart: "The one who opens up the Great Dao of the Acquired Realm shall be honored as an 'Emperor'. If one can persevere and advance one's own Great Dao of the Acquired Realm to the tenth level of perfection, then one can be honored as the 'Heavenly Emperor'."

At that time, the Great Dao will nourish and transform his foundation, allowing him to ascend to the foundation of a low-grade Chaos Demon God, becoming invincible and capable of overcoming any great calamity.

Wu Gu specifically pointed out, "Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng, the Phoenix Nirvana Great Dao that you unintentionally opened up is the third acquired Great Dao I have ever seen, with boundless potential. I hope you will cherish it, cultivate diligently, and not waste this opportunity and your own talent."

This narrative continued for nearly a thousand years.

For most Phoenix Clan members, the Great Dao of Creation is too vast and ethereal, offering limited gains.

But for Yuan Feng, this was undoubtedly a beacon in the darkness, pointing her to the true path to heaven.

Yuan Feng felt enlightened, and many of her previous confusions about cultivation vanished in an instant. Her understanding of the Phoenix Nirvana Dao also deepened at an unprecedented speed.

After the discussion concluded, the Daoist aura of the Great Dao of Creation within the hall gradually subsided.

Yuan Feng remained immersed in that vast Dao realm, her heart filled with immense joy and gratitude.

In this discourse, she not only clarified her own path, but also gained the recognition of Wugu, the "true successor of Pangu," making her invaluable.

She firmly believes that as long as she steadfastly walks along this path of phoenix rebirth, her future achievements will be unparalleled, even surpassing those of innate gods and demons.

Seeing the bright light in Yuan Feng's eyes and her firm Dao heart, Wu Gu knew that she had received the true teachings, and he was greatly gratified.

In the long journey of seeking the Dao in the primordial world, a friend who has the potential to become the "Phoenix Emperor" is of extraordinary significance.

This discussion within the Phoenix Palace not only deepened the connection between Wugu and the Phoenix Clan, but also, like a seed, quietly planted the variable that would change the future landscape of the primordial world.

Once everyone else had recovered from their enlightenment, Wu Gu's divine sense stirred slightly, and he spoke gently to Yuan Feng and the Phoenix Clan elders.

"The Great Dao is profound and cannot be fully comprehended in a day. Fellow Daoists, you may return to your caves first, calmly contemplate what you have gained, and solidify your foundation."

Upon hearing this, the powerful members of the Phoenix Clan, though reluctant, knew that Wu Gu's words made sense. They all bowed respectfully and transformed into streaks of light, flying back to their respective cultivation grounds.

In the blink of an eye, only Wu Gu and Yuan Feng remained in the magnificent Phoenix Heavenly Palace.

The atmosphere was quiet, yet tinged with an indescribable solemnity. Yuan Feng's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Wu Gu, a vague premonition already forming in her heart that an even more important exchange was about to take place.

As expected, Wugu got straight to the point and proposed a trade involving mutual exchange of goods.

Wu Gu knew that Yuan Feng was a "seed of the Heavenly Emperor" that appeared only once in billions of years, and that the Phoenix Nirvana Path that it had unintentionally opened up had unlimited potential and was worth investing heavily in.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng," Wugu said calmly, but a dark yellow book materialized at his fingertips. It was a sub-body differentiated from the original "Chronicles of the Heavenly Emperor."

"Giving this to you, fellow Daoist, may help you avoid detours on your path."

Before he could finish speaking and before Yuan Feng could respond, Wu Gu flicked his finger, and the book disappeared into Yuan Feng's forehead like a shooting star.

To Wu Gu's surprise, Yuan Feng showed no wariness whatsoever, nor did she exert any magical power to resist. Instead, she calmly accepted the book containing a vast amount of information.
