Primordial Corpse Ancestor

Chapter 84 Scheming Against the Phoenix Clan

After being dormant for too many years, the primordial wilderness has finally recovered some of its lost vitality through countless years of accumulation. The lands that were once barren due to the battle between the Reincarnation Dao Lord and the Heavenly Dao have also been largely restored.

Only the mountain peak where Yang Mei once lived is now desolate and lifeless because the power of the Death Law of the Reincarnation Dao Lord has not yet dissipated. Everything else is exceptionally vibrant and full of hope.

This day could be called a day of great joy for the Ancestral Dragon. On this day, the Ancestral Dragon was dressed in a bright red robe, his hair tied up high, leading a group of people from the East Sea, carrying countless gifts, all heading towards the Tiannan Undying Volcano where the Phoenix Clan lived. The group of people were all smiles and their purpose was obvious.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Zulong is truly handsome and extraordinary today! I believe that even with Zufeng's discerning eye, he is beyond reproach!" Yang Mei looked at Zulong with a smile, his tone full of praise.

"It's hard to say now! We'll only know the outcome after we get there. We just don't know if things will succeed! It would be best if they did, so we could get away with it without losing a single soldier!" Zu Long blushed, his heart filled with a mixture of shyness and worry.

"Hmph! What's there to worry about? No one would expect us to join forces this time. Besides, Zu Feng is all alone right now. When we put pressure on her together, she won't be able to refuse." Yang Mei smiled and didn't seem to care at all.

"Alas! That would naturally be no problem! If we could accomplish this without losing a single soldier, that would be the best!" Zu Long gazed at the distant sky, his heart filled with endless thoughts.

"Hehe! That would be the best! Not only could we complete our grand plan without any losses, but we could also bring you a lady of high status and wealth. At that time, the entire Phoenix Clan would become our support, not to mention having a master like the Ancestral Phoenix to assist us! Just thinking about it makes me feel that the future is bright!"

With a grin on his face, Yang Mei analyzed the pros and cons of Zu Long's actions.

"I hope nothing unexpected happens, but why do I always have this faint feeling of unease?" Zu Long said with a slight frown.

"Hey! Why worry unnecessarily? We'll see how things go in time. Even if Zu Feng doesn't agree, what can she do to us?" Yang Mei was very dismissive of Zu Long's words and confidently comforted him.

Gradually, Zulong's furrowed brows relaxed, and he began to communicate with Yangmei telepathically, discussing their grand plan to conquer the prehistoric world.

"Look how happy the old master is today!"

"Indeed! I heard that the person the patriarch went to propose marriage to today was no ordinary person!"

"Isn't that right? I heard he's the progenitor of the Phoenix Clan!"

"Do you know? That person possesses great abilities, just like our ancestor!"

"Hmph! What's so special about that? I've even heard that the Ancestor and that woman were born at the same time! It seems we really do have a connection!"

"No way! Usually, it's just the old man and his friend taking care of us, and now we have to add another person?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Aren't you afraid the Ancestor will hear you? What's wrong with having another person to look after you? If the woman the Ancestor marries is highly skilled, we'll have another powerful backer if we ever need anything!"

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"You all need to be careful from now on! I've heard that those powerful figures are extremely strict with their subordinates. You must be diligent and not speak carelessly, otherwise, if you offend the woman the Ancestor wants to marry, and the Ancestor gets angry, you'll all suffer!"

"Really? You mean you're even stricter than the Ancestor? Or do you mean even the Ancestor has to listen to you?"

"Sigh! Who knows! Anyway, I must be careful in the future, and not say or do the wrong thing! That's all!"

For a time, opinions among the shrimp soldiers and crab generals regarding the marriage of the Ancestral Dragon and the Ancestral Phoenix were mixed. Some were happy to see the marriage between the Dragon and Phoenix clans, while others did not want the two clans to be involved. However, these were only minor obstacles. In the eyes of the Ancestral Dragon, the real obstacle was still the unknown unease.

"What are you all talking about? Hurry up and hurry on your way! If you delay the ancestor's important business, who among you can bear the responsibility?" A black tortoise scolded the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Then the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals immediately shut their mouths and hurried on their way.

After several years, they finally arrived at the Immortal Volcano inhabited by the Phoenix Clan of Tiannan. It was a pity, though, that with the cultivation levels of Zulong and Yangmei, they could have arrived long ago! However, the cultivation levels of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were too low, and they were also carrying many gifts, which delayed their journey.

The main group on this trip consisted of Yang Mei and Zu Long, followed by some important figures from the Dragon Clan. These so-called important figures included several elders and some descendants whom Zu Long had been grooming. In Zu Long's view, only if the successor forces could keep up could the fortunes of the entire Dragon Clan continue.

At this moment, Tiannan Volcano was completely devoid of any words that could be associated with volcano. However, everything here appeared exceptionally magnificent in the eyes of Zulong and Yangmei, with many rare spiritual herbs and roots found in the primordial world.

For example, there are the Nine-Leaf Lingzhi, the Purple Dragon Ginseng, and numerous enormous ancient phoenix trees. The ancient saying that phoenixes only alight on treasures is perfectly illustrated here, as each of these ancient phoenix trees houses a massive nest.

Hanging on those nests were dragon ginseng, spiritual fruits, and other spiritual treasures, brimming with spiritual energy. It was hard to imagine how beneficial these things would be to one's cultivation if used for alchemy or consumed!

"The Phoenix Clan and your Dragon Clan are really quite similar! Your Dragon Clan also likes to collect things, but they're mostly spiritual treasures or gemstones, while the Phoenix Clan collects innate spiritual jade. What a coincidence!"

Zulong sensed the sarcasm in Yangmei's words, so he glanced at Yangmei briefly and ignored him.

When this large group of people arrived at the phoenix tree where the phoenixes lived, they were immediately greeted by several members of the Phoenix Clan.

"Who are you? Don't you know this is Phoenix Clan territory? If you have nothing else to do, you'd better go back! This isn't a place just anyone can come into!"

Leading the group was a man in magnificent robes, with a fair complexion, long, sword-like eyebrows, and bright, sparkling eyes. His long, fiery red hair accentuated his air of authority. He exuded an aura that drew everyone's attention without him even needing to utter a sound. Even the Phoenix Clan members behind him were all heroic and spirited!

"snort!"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Upon suddenly hearing the words spoken by the representative of the Phoenix Clan, Yang Mei frowned and let out a cold snort, about to explode.

"Hehe, my friend, I am the progenitor of the Dragon Clan, Zu Long. I have come today to pay my respects to Fellow Daoist Zu Feng! Please inform him of my presence." Zu Long pulled back Yang Mei, who was about to explode, and then spoke with unusual politeness.

"Hmm? Are you from the Dragon Clan? My Phoenix Clan and your Dragon Clan have never had any dealings. Why have you suddenly come to visit today? Very well! You can wait here for a moment! I will send someone to report to you right away!"

The young man looked at the Ancestral Dragon in front of him carefully for a moment, then glanced at the Ancestral Dragon with great disgust, and then instructed a woman behind him to go back and report to the Ancestral Phoenix.

Zulong carefully observed the phoenixes flying and circling in the air. He discovered that each phoenix was born with immense fortune, which proved that the phoenixes were a race with great potential.

"This Phoenix Clan is truly extraordinary! Although they haven't yet taken human form, it's clear that each one possesses immense potential. I believe that given enough time, the Phoenix Clan will also become extraordinary and could rival my Dragon Clan," the Ancestral Dragon remarked, looking at the phoenixes in the sky.

It's no wonder that the Ancestral Dragon had such feelings. After all, the Phoenix Clan has endless natural treasures for its cultivation. Even the snacks that the unformed Phoenix Clan juniors usually have are spiritual roots and spiritual jade. Moreover, these spiritual roots are things that even future saints would envy.

After all, the primordial world had experienced several great calamities, which inevitably led to a shortage of spiritual energy. Now, after several great calamities, the spiritual energy in the primordial world had begun to thin out during the day!

"My Phoenix Clan is born with extraordinary talent and powerful divine bodies, but this also means that we Phoenix Clan members transform into human form relatively late and with greater difficulty. However, once we transform, we possess extremely high cultivation levels! I hope Senior Ancestral Dragon will not laugh at us!"

Seeing that the Ancestral Dragon was staring intently at the Phoenix Clan's younger members who had not yet taken human form, the young Phoenix Clan member felt somewhat displeased. After all, such unbridled observation of the Phoenix Clan's habitat made it difficult for the Phoenix Clan to believe that the other party had no ulterior motives. If the other party did have ulterior motives, the Phoenix Clan would definitely not show weakness, since this was on the Phoenix Clan's territory.

Therefore, the young man from the Phoenix Clan offered a seemingly humble but actually complimentary reminder to the Ancestral Dragon.

"Hehe! The Phoenix Clan has enormous potential, and each of them is exceptionally talented! I see that you are also quite young, yet you have already reached the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm! May I ask how I should address you?" Zu Long said to the young man from the Phoenix Clan with a smile.

The Phoenix Clan man was slightly displeased. After all, the Ancestral Dragon's blatant examination of others' cultivation levels would likely displease anyone else. However, he suppressed his dissatisfaction, bowed slightly, and said calmly, "This junior is Huang Yu of the Phoenix Clan. I happened to be in charge of the patrol and it was an honor to have the chance to meet you, senior!"

"Hehe! What a promising young man! At such a young age, you already possess such extraordinary cultivation. You are sure to achieve great things in the future!" Zu Long looked at Huang Yu with a smile and nodded repeatedly.

For a moment, Huang Yu was somewhat bewildered. Even among the younger generation of the clan, her cultivation was not the most outstanding. How could she deserve such praise? At least, the Ancestral Phoenix had never praised her like this before.
