After learning that Chen Yun had broken through to the realm of the earth immortals, Yan Feng became much more respectful.
Chen Yun, however, remained calm and did not show a sense of superiority.
With his cultivation deepening, he gradually didn't pay as much attention to what was considered "relationships" among people.
Cultivation is about cultivating one's own heart, about improving one's own life force.
Neidan technique most highly advocates the cultivation of both life and soul.
This concept refers to the comprehensive cultivation of body and mind, achieving the ultimate and perfect state.
Specifically, "sexual" refers to the inner aspects of a person such as their mind, thoughts, and spirit, while "yuan" refers to the outer aspects such as the body, life force, and energy.
The cultivation of life and body requires the simultaneous improvement of both internal and external aspects, unifying the practice of cultivation and nurturing one's nature, and completing a dual training for the physical form, energy, and spiritual essence.
Some people's "sexual" may be quite rebellious or even perplexing.
For example, Lan Caihe, originally a man, often dressed in women's attire, carrying a flower basket, wearing tattered blue robes, and fastening a three-inch-wide wooden belt. He wore boots on one foot and walked barefoot on the other. In summer, he wore cotton clothes, while in winter, he lay in the snow and his breath came out like steam. He frequently held a three-foot-long singing board and walked and sang through the city while inebriated, appearing somewhat crazy but not entirely so.
This is his "sexual nature".
That is the so-called natural appearance.
It can be said that Lan Caihe's behavior demonstrates that his cultivation of the mind and spirit has reached a very profound level.
It is not known whether Chen Yun's mental state is as high-level as Lan Caihe's, but his "sexual nature" certainly differs from hers.
Deep in his heart, he has always adhered to the philosophy of "the path of immortality values life and everyone is equal."
Therefore, no matter how profound Chen Yun's cultivation becomes, he never fawns or flatters others; at most, he simply respects them.
This is quite different from Yan Feng.
Chen Yun had an instinctive judgment that, based on Yan Feng's current temperament, if he didn't have any extraordinary experiences in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to break through to the realm of the Earth Immortals.
Of course, it's none of his business; it has nothing to do with him.
Chen Yun slowly opened his mouth and said, "Brother Yan, I have been here for some time now, but I haven't found either the Golden Axe or the Golden Shears. So, what should I do while waiting?"
Yan Feng immediately picked up the conversation and said, "Mr. Chen, you must know where the descendants of the Phoenix and Zhongming birds are, right?"
Chen Yun nodded slightly, "They are situated at the two extremities, with the Phoenix descendants in a place where there is a vast ancient Mulberry tree, surrounded by sunfire circling and spiraling around it, which is extremely perilous. On the other hand, the place where the Zhongming bird descendants reside is a large pit that resembles neither gold nor iron, filled with a sense of murderous aura from Taibai."
"The Golden Axe and the Golden Scissors are respectively located in the Mulberry tree and deep within that patch of divine iron," Yan Feng said directly. "This Mulberry tree is no ordinary object; it is an extreme grade of celestial and terrestrial elixir root. The sap secreted from the core of this tree is black and can be used to make pills that can revive the dead and turn white bones into flesh. Even if a celestial immortal falls, they can rely on this substance to be reborn. The only regrettable thing is that it cannot restore a person to their prime, but at most can bring them back to the peak of the Earth Immortal realm."
Niu Dali was amazed and said, "Surely such a miraculous thing?"
Both Chen Yun and Master Jing chuan nodded slightly over there.
The sap extracted from the core of the wutong tree, which can bring celestial immortals back from the dead, is indeed a very precious treasure.
Although it cannot bring a celestial immortal back to their peak condition, as long as a celestial immortal uses this substance to come back from the dead, they will retain their own cultivation level. With time, they can recover to their former peak.
Chen Yun's previous acquisition of the Nine Dead Reviving Grass was also of a similar nature.
The Nine Dead Reviving Grass is slightly more potent than this item, capable of restoring someone to the level of immortals.
The difference lies in the fact that the Nine Dead Reviving Grass is ineffective for celestial immortals, whereas the sap from the core of the wutong tree, when made into pills, can even revive celestial immortals.
Therefore, in terms of value, this item is undoubtedly superior.
"It is truly amazing, but unfortunately, only a small piece of the core of a Mulberry tree can be used, and it can only be refined into a single pill."
Yan Feng sighed helplessly and continued to introduce, "The precious metals where the descendants of the Zhongming birds live are not ordinary items. They are even harder than the nine-refined bie iron and are considered top-grade materials for forging weapons. They are called Huo Yan Shen Tie, or fire-refined divine iron. Because they were born in places where solar flame covered year-round, they naturally carry the strongest and most positive Yang Qi from solar flame. Once forged into weapons using this material, those who practice yin evil arts or ghosts and demons will be greatly suppressed."
Both the wutong tree and the fire-refined divine iron are excellent treasures.
Chen Yun secretly recorded this in his heart and continued listening to Yan Feng's introduction.
Yan Feng said, "The Golden Axe is entangled in the roots and stems of the wutong tree, while the Golden Scissors are naturally integrated with the Huo Yan Shen Tie. Generally speaking, we cannot obtain them. Only when their spirit consciousness awakens and they break through the wutong tree and Huo Yan Shen Tie can we obtain them. At that time, whether it's the core of the wutong tree or the Huo Yan Shen Tie, they will naturally be included."
Chen Yun had a bit of an idea in his mind, "Then why don't you and I go in and test the strength of the descendants of the Phoenix and the Zhongming birds? After that, we can decide whether to continue in pursuit of the Golden Axe and the Golden Scissors."
Yan Feng said, "Alright, let's first unite with the descendants of the Phoenix that are closer to us and have a fight. If they are particularly strong, we will have to give up."
Chen Yun said, "Okay."
Niú Dàlì worriedly said, "Master Chen, Mr. Yan, be careful."
Master Jing Chen also reminded them, "If these two magical beasts are too fierce, you must not force yourself. Just keep a safe distance."
Chen Yun nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I will bear it in mind."
Yan Feng smiled broadly and said, "We won't joke about our lives. Rest assured, the two of you."
Taking this opportunity, Chen Yun pointed inside and said, "Shall we go in?"
Yan Feng said, "Let's go."
Chen Yun mounted the unicorne of golden light.
As soon as he activated it, the unicorne of golden light transformed into a streak of light and shot inside at great speed.
Yan Feng, unwilling to be outdone, summoned his divine sword that glowed with pure light, enveloping him within it. Following the steps of the unicorne of golden light, he kept pace without showing any signs of lagging behind.
This shows that Yan Feng's divine sword is no ordinary weapon.
It is very likely to be a powerful artifact or a powerful weapon.
Niú Dàlì and Master Jing Chen did not wish to take any risks, so they would not go in.
Both of them watched as Chen Yun and Yan Feng transformed into streaks of light, and although they did not speak, their hearts were filled with silent worry.
After all, these two super-powerful beasts, the weakest of them are equivalent to the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm.
Chen Yun had just reached the early-stage of the Earth Immortal realm, while Yan Feng was still in the late-stage of the Human Immortal realm.
The gap between them was too great.
Now, Niú Dàlì and Master Jing Chen only hope for one thing.
That is that Chen Yun and Yan Feng, regardless of whether they can obtain the Golden Axe and the Golden Scissors, must return safely and soundly.
Unbeknownst to them, as they worried silently, in the vast sea of solar true flame, there was an outline of a woman with a human body and a snake's tail.
That's right, it's Long Zhan Tian!
……
Inside the basin.
As soon as they entered, Chen Yun and Yan Feng headed straight for the Mulberry tree.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived near the Mulberry tree.
Before they had a chance to take a good look,
Suddenly, a burst of intense heat came from the Mulberry tree.
Chen Yun's face turned pale. He quickly activated the unicorne of golden light to avoid and sent out a mental message to Yan Feng, "Be careful, the descendants of the Phoenix have discovered us!"
Yan Feng also noticed this and used the clear light released from the divine sword on his back to evade to another place.
Just now, the two of them had just evaded.
A huge river of flame surged up like a flood, suddenly enveloping the entire basin.
Immediately, a loud and resounding cry echoed from within the Mulberry tree.
A deity bird, about one zhang high and extremely similar in appearance to the Phoenix, flapped its wings and soared into the air.
Even though its flying speed was not particularly fast, Chen Yun, with his level of cultivation, still could not lock onto its tracks as it hovered in the air.
As if, this descendant of the Phoenix has some kind of rule power that allows it to avoid being locked onto.
Chen Yun looked up at the descendant of the Phoenix, communicating and exchanging thoughts with Yan Feng at the same time, "The true fire that the Phoenix descendant just unleashed is very powerful, but it does not exceed my estimation. It should only be at the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm."
Yan Feng's response in his mental communication was serious and solemn, "The mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm is much stronger than I had imagined. It looks like this time, I have to fight to the death with it!"
Chen Yun said, "Not in a hurry, let's deal with this descendant of the Phoenix first and then find the descendants of the Chongming bird."
Originally, he was pondering that if it wasn't necessary, he might not have killed the descendants of the Phoenix and the Chongming bird.
Little did he expect that even though he and Yan Feng had just arrived here without showing any intention of killing, it immediately provoked an attack from the descendant of the Phoenix.
This means that something.
It means that as soon as someone trespasses into this place, it will inevitably attract the attack of the Phoenix and the descendants of the Chongming bird.
This may sound like trivial talk, but for Chen Yun, it was particularly important.
Because he must obtain the Huiling Red Fruit, and to obtain the Huiling Red Fruit, he must pass through the habitat of the descendants of the Phoenix and the Chongming bird.
Therefore, he had no choice but to continue.
Either kill the descendants of the Phoenix and the Chongming bird to obtain the Huiling Red Fruit, and then brew the Deifying Soup.
Otherwise, they will have to come empty-handed and empty-handed, and stop thinking about any kind of divine soup.
As always, the Golden Axe, the Golden Scissors, the Phoenix Fire Essence, or the Chongming Bird Feather Wings are all things that Chen Yun can give up. However, he cannot give up the Huiling Red Fruit.
Then, it seems that this fierce battle today is unavoidable.
Although the fierce battle cannot be avoided, Chen Yun still analyzed the opponent's strength from the attack just now by the descendant of the Phoenix, and found that it did not exceed the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm.
This is definitely good news for Chen Yun and Yan Feng.
"As long as it doesn't exceed the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal realm, I have a chance to single-handedly defeat it."
Chen Yun thought of controlling the unicorn-shaped golden light beast and began to circle around the approaching "sea" of divine fire.
On the other side, Yan Feng was also moving at high speed to avoid being burned to death by the Phoenix descendant's divine fire.
The descendant of the Phoenix clearly had no intention of letting the two of them go.
Afterhovering in the air for a while, it immediately dove towards the ground.
Its descent speed was not particularly fast, looking like a kite falling.
However, it was this seemingly slow speed that allowed it to catch up with Chen Yun, who was riding on the back of the unicorne-shaped golden light beast, in the next moment. Then, with a fierce grip, it reached out with its claws!
It's important to know that the unicorne of golden light is almost in a state of divinity, and in terms of speed, even Chen Yun under normal circumstances may not be as fast as it is. Now it's being caught up by the Phoenix descendant?
As for the other aspects of the Phoenix descendant, it's not clear, but its speed is truly astonishing.
Chen Yun felt a terrifying heat coming from above his head, but he felt no fear.
He grabbed it without hesitation, and a seven treasure wonder tree appeared in his palm out of thin air.
Chen Yun then swung the seven treasure wonder tree upwards, sweeping it through the air.
A burst of colorful light shone, and white vital energy was vaporously rising.
Thousands of blue lotuses raged wildly and roared as they surged upwards.
The descendant of the Phoenix did not dodge or avoid; it still reached out with its claws towards the thousands of lotuses.
Huuchi!
Its claws seemed indifferent as they pierced through the thousands of lotuses and snatched onto Chen Yun's head!
Chen Yun couldn't believe it at all; he had never thought that the seven-treasure wonder tree was so powerful yet it could not harm the descendant of the Phoenix even a bit.
He felt a terrifying heat and a powerful compression force coming from above his head.
Chen Yun suddenly activated his Shouliu Jin Shen.
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded.
Suddenly, golden light radiated in all directions and shot straight up into the sky.
Amidst the surging golden light, a statue of divinity rose abruptly.
This statue of divinity was one zhang and six chi in height, its entire body emitting brilliant golden light like the scorching sun, with eighteen hands and twenty-four heads. It held nine weapons: wenduoduang (jewelry), shuntou (umbrella), huanyangguan (flower chain), yujian (fish intestine), jin gong (golden bow), yin ji (silver spear), jizhi sheng chu (blessing staff), baomozhi (treasure scraper), and jin pinggongzi!
In an instant when it materialized, an aura of sanctity and inviolability spread out instantly, instilling a sense of awe and respect that made people feel as if they should prostrate themselves in worship.
The descendant of the Phoenix felt a powerful force impacting on it, and had no choice but to release its claws and escape at high speed, flying back up to the half-sky, as if surveying the situation.
Chen Yun immediately withdrew his Shouliu Jin Shen and swung the seven treasure wonder tree once again, sweeping out a vast stream of lotuses as if it was a celestial river.
Almost simultaneously, a clear light suddenly shone within the heavens and the earth.
A terrifying sense of killing came from the other side, spreading and diffusing.
Chen Yun had noticed the situation and knew that Yan Feng had activated the divine sword on his back.
However, the explosive and filled with heavy killing intent clear light was not the divine sword attacking the descendant of the Phoenix, but only its radiant light when it came out of its sheath.
Even though it was just the light when the sword was drawn, the killing intent was still too intense.
So strong was the killing intent that even a descendant of the Earth Immortal realm, who possessed the cultivation level of mid-stage, seemed to be startled and flew up to higher sky and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, neither Chen Yun's naked eyes nor Yan Feng's could see where the descendant of the Phoenix had hidden.
However, Chen Yun's "all-seeing" allowed him to sense that the descendant of the Phoenix was hidden among the clouds in the high sky, ready to pounce down and hunt them at any moment.
Without hesitation, Chen Yun controlled the vast lotus stream he had just created and charged towards the sky, surging and galloping madly.
Yan Feng used his left index and middle fingers to point towards the high sky.
The next moment, a dense and thick clear light, resembling mung bean paste, shot out from the divine sword.
This clear light seemed to be a living creature, as soon as it appeared, it rolled out a muffled roar that sounded like a dragon's growl.
Indeed, during its attack, countless tiny, purple lightning flashes mysteriously appeared around it.
If someone familiar with Yan Feng saw this scene, they would certainly know what kind of clear light and purple thunder it was.
That's right, this move is one of Yan Feng's most powerful techniques, known as the "Purple Lightning Hidden Sword Technique."
What is "Purple Lightning Hidden Sword Technique"?
The sword qi usually belongs to the metal element of five elements, and when cultivated to the deepest level, it can be transformed into a white rainbow that rises into the sky and becomes purple lightning when it reaches the sky. It then falls to the ground and turns into a treasure sword, which is concealed in a stone box or jade box, waiting for its next burst into the sky.
It can be said that if a person with profound cultivation practice this technique, even a small world could be split in two. Just imagine how formidable it is.
Chen Yun naturally felt the terrifying nature of Yan Feng's sword light.
This made him secretly expect whether the combination of Chen Yun's seven treasure wonder tree and Yan Feng's "Purple Lightning Hidden Sword Technique" could finally eliminate the super spirit beast, the descendant of the Phoenix.
If so, then Chen Yun and Yan Feng would save a lot of effort.
Unfortunately, the strength of the descendant of the Phoenix far exceeded the imagination of Chen Yun and Yan Feng.
The lotus stream and the Purple Lightning Hidden Sword Technique indeed hit the target, causing an explosive collision in the high sky that collapsed the surrounding space.
After the explosion subsided, the descendant of the Phoenix had not a single feather out of place, still hidden among the clouds and launched a second attack!
Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh, even though he had used the seven treasure wonder tree and Yan Feng's fierce techniques, they were still unable to do anything to the descendant of the Phoenix.
It seems that today's battle is not a simple one.
It's a life-and-death battle where a misstep could mean the downfall of both Chen Yun and Yan Feng.
Most importantly, he faintly sensed that Long Zhan Tian was hiding in the distance, seemingly ready to wait for prey!
