Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

As they were talking, a cloud bed, predominantly white with iridescent accents, came into their view.

Without any hesitation, Mu An walked directly to the edge of the cloud bed and lifted the colorful quilt on it.

"This is……"

Beneath the bedding lay a pale, almost unremarkable, multicolored feather.

A faint aura of the five elements lingered on the surface of the feathers, protecting the entire palace.

"It has five colors and is called the Phoenix. The markings on its head are called Virtue, the markings on its wings are called Righteousness, the markings on its back are called Propriety, the markings on its breast are called Benevolence, and the markings on its belly are called Trustworthiness. This bird eats and drinks naturally, sings and dances by itself, and its appearance signifies peace and tranquility throughout the world."

"Phoenix?" The old celestial master hesitated before speaking. He vaguely remembered that there was a phoenix in the Spirit Realm, and its strength was no greater than that of a true dragon.

How could such a weak being possess such power with just a feather?

As if guessing what the old celestial master was thinking, Mu An took the opportunity to pick up the feathers on the cloud bed and examine them closely.

"Blue head, white neck, red back, black chest, yellow feet... blue, white, red, black, yellow, wood, metal, fire, water, earth, these are the five elements."

"The phoenix I'm referring to is not the kind you know, Fellow Daoist Li, but an auspicious bird that could only be bred in extremely powerful worlds before the great changes in the Boundary Sea."

"The origin of this race should be a Golden Immortal who has attained the Dao Fruit. I will temporarily call him the Ancestral Phoenix. All the phoenixes born after the Ancestral Phoenix are part of the Ancestral Phoenix."

"Like the demons in the Nine Nether Abyss, they have their own thoughts, long lifespans, and great power, and spend their lives on the path of fighting and expansion."

"Until they die, they will never realize that they are actually just a part of the Nine Netherworld Abyss."

After pondering for a while, the old master asked the question carefully.

"Fellow Daoist, do you mean that the phoenix that left behind this feather is also a similar being? An incarnation of some powerful being in the Boundary Sea?"

This time, Mu An did not answer immediately; he stared at the feather in his hand for a long time.

It is certain that the power on the feather did not reach the level of a Golden Immortal; at most, it could only be considered a half-step Golden Immortal.

But Mu An absolutely refused to believe that the little phoenix was anything special.

After much deliberation, Mu An offered his guess.

"If the Ancestral Phoenix is ​​still alive, then there is a good chance that the current Palace Master of the Illusionary Palace is the Ancestral Phoenix himself."

Although he didn't gasp in shock, Mu An's words still greatly alarmed the old master.

The old Celestial Master: "..."

Old Celestial Master: "???"

Old Celestial Master: "!!!"

What's wrong with this world? It's all about scheming and plotting. Everywhere you go, you're surrounded by top-tier powerhouses from the vast ocean of realms.

Can't a person even have some fun?!

The world is truly going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!

As a top expert among the old masters, no one cared about the old master's inner feelings.

After stating one possibility, Mu An quickly offered another.

"If the Ancestral Phoenix has already perished, then this Palace Master of the Illusionary Palace is most likely related to reincarnation, namely Jun Yunxin from back then, and later Xiao Yongning."

"Perhaps you don't know, but when Xiao Yongning was reborn, the moment I saw her, I knew that she could only be called Yongning."

"This is true of me, and it was even more true of Emperor Qi Yuanqi back then. The title of Princess Yongning is not a coincidence, but a certain inevitability."

At that moment, the old master felt weak, pitiful, and helpless.

What a shameless bunch! They've all cheated to such an extent, and they still have the nerve to call him cunning?

This is truly bizarre!

Thinking about it carefully, he simply planted more seeds and worked diligently in the fields every day like a farmer.

Compared to these cheaters, he's practically normal!

Perhaps sensing the subtle change in the old master's emotions, Mu An added a sentence quite naturally.

"The scholar Qin, who had a Dao seed planted in him by a fellow Daoist but ultimately chose to transform into the Dao, was no ordinary person either."

Upon hearing Mu An mention Qin Xiucai, the old master's expression froze completely.

As early as when Zhuangzi returned and ascended to immortality in seven steps, he knew that Zhuangzi and Qin Xiucai were not ordinary people, but he really didn't know what their backgrounds were.

Upon hearing Mu An mention it, the old master asked a very sincere question.

"Please tell me, fellow Daoist, what is the background of these two people?"

With a hint of mockery that she herself didn't even notice, Mu An spoke in the same calm tone as before.

"Zhuangzi was just an ordinary mortal at first, but when they were about to become immortals, Qin Xiucai gave him a part of his destiny."

"Although this was just an unintentional act by Qin Xiucai, it unexpectedly brought the two of them together as one, two sides of the same coin, each representing the other."

"I don't know who Scholar Qin is, but I do know that his pet is crossing the Boundary Sea and heading towards the Nine Domains."

"I have observed for a short time that in the past ten years or so, the pet that Scholar Qin kept has swallowed hundreds of thousands of lifeless planets."

"Oh right, there are quite a few stars in there, which are what we call the Great Sun."

"It's crunchy and crunchy, just like eating a snack."

The old Celestial Master: "..."

Old Celestial Master: "Whoosh—"

With unprecedentedly complex emotions, the old master looked sincerely at Mu An.

Mu An returned the gaze with sincerity and patted the old master on the shoulder.

"No problem, Fellow Daoist Li, I have faith in your abilities!"

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

The old celestial master didn't know how long he had been frozen in place. He only knew that when he came to his senses, Mu An was already sitting on the edge of the palace, gazing down at the Demon Land Continent.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! These are minor issues!"

"This old Taoist has roamed the world for two thousand years, manipulating fate with the palm of his hand. How could he be intimidated by such a trivial matter?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Thinking about it carefully, Li Xuan has never provoked those two people related to reincarnation. What he has to face is just an ego whose existence is unknown, a Buddha who has taken over Xuanling's body, a Heavenly Dao of the Nine Realms, and a scholar who has been offended to death."

"This is nothing!"

"We can handle it! We can absolutely handle it!"

……

His pace quickened suddenly, and the whisk in his hand stirred up gusts of breeze.

As I moved around, the air in the entire hall became clear and pure, with no trace of demonic energy remaining.

The old master stopped half a step behind Mu An and asked sincerely.

"True Lord, it's getting late. When do you think we should begin this process of merging with the Dao?"

Seeing the old master completely side with him, Mu An returned the most sincere smile.

"Now!"

……

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light shot into the sky.

The spiritual light of the five elements permeated the sky, and a five-colored sun replaced the black sun in the sky, illuminating the world.

It was as if a monster that could only survive in the shadows had encountered the blinding sunlight; wherever the Five Spiritual Lights shone, raging flames would ignite.

In the blink of an eye, nine suns appeared in the sky, and the entire Nine Netherworld Abyss was enveloped in spiritual light.
