The "Map of Mountain and River" is the female Wa's certification to realize Dao, which cannot be used by the phoenix with unknown origin, but Deng Chanyu's own "Two Yin and One Gem Lamp," which has taken half a year to complete, has completely consumed the control water flag with phoenix symbol restriction seal by old ancestor from Abyssal River.
Two spiritual treasures were transmitted to the phoenix's side through the paulownia tree, and their true form made a divination temporarily, with the result being that there were no dangers ahead. The phoenix then directly opened a passage to that fiery world from the Tai Su Tian realm.
The Phoenix shot a golden inferno sky fire into the chaotic void, making the portal of the fire element world instantly become solid. After that, her claws gripped the door seam tightly and exerted force bit by bit, finally opening a crimson light gate.
"Oh?!" The nine Jinwu souls stood on the branches, all showing expressions of surprise at that moment. They didn't understand about the fire element world or the portal; they only knew that what was behind that door seemed quite fun!
"Really, why do you all have to follow me? This is my opportunity!" Phoenix muttered lowly.
The nine Jinwu souls, hidden under her wings, poked their heads out at this moment, tilting their heads and showing puzzled expressions, as if to say, Sixth Brother, we don't understand what you mean.
"Never mind, never mind. Follow me, just be careful."
As the words of Nuwa said, the phoenix can be considered as a good corpse of Deng Chanyu. This "good" is not kindness but a collection of many qualities such as righteousness, courage, love, and empathy. It is precisely because of Deng Chanyu's existence of these qualities that the Heavenly Way allows the originally violent phoenix to be reborn again.
In their original form, they had long lost patience. On the contrary, the clone was very patient and protected the nine Jinwu souls throughout the exploration.
"Have you not found this place a bit familiar? Like something you've seen at your father's or uncle's place?" The phoenix asked with a hint of insinuation.
The nine Jinwu souls looked at her curiously, only shaking their heads together after a while.
"It seems not? That's a pity," the phoenix originally thought that this place would be the territory of Taiyi and Dijun again, unfortunately, the Jinwu souls had no impression, and her plan to fleece Taiyi's wool had failed.
This world is vast, with the sky round and the earth square. There's no need for lighting as there are burning flames everywhere.
The phoenix led the nine Jinwu spirits through the journey, encountering some completely irrational fire-attribute lives. Compared to these angry and volatile lives, the Jinwu spirits could be considered well-behaved children.
"Never mind, let's take a look around the perimeter. If there's nothing to gain, we'll go back soon," said Phoenix, who had collected quite a bit of fire element spiritual materials on the way. She directly digested those useless ones and turned them into magical power, while keeping those with some spiritual nature, intending to give Nezha a fire-tipped spear in the future.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!" The largest Jinwu spirit pointed to a range of mountains not far away, indicating to go play there.
The mountains here are also volcanic mountains, and places like this usually have higher-quality spiritual materials. However, due to the lack of open terrain, there are also considerable risks. Phoenix took on human form, indicating for the nine Jinwu spirits to follow closely and not run around freely.
The Phoenix's embodiment, Deng Chanyu, had long red hair and had phoenix-shaped eyeshadow on her eyes, the rest was exactly the same as her original form.
The nine Jinwu spirits squawked twice, recognizing this human form of the Phoenix even better. Old Six, you're finally back!
Old Six led the nine Jinwu spirits into the mountains. On their way, they encountered two fire bulls. The Jinwu spirits charged up bravely, but were defeated badly. It was then that Phoenix stepped in, using her martial arts to easily defeat the fire bulls and restore some face for the Jinwu tribe.
"Don't run around anymore, do you understand?"
The nine Jinwu spirits nodded in unison. Phoenix let out a sigh on this side, these troublemaking kids are really hard to manage.
After passing through a fiery sea, they heard the heavy footsteps coming from afar, "dongdong" like a giant beast pacing around somewhere nearby.
What is it?
What kind of thing? The phoenix quickly took out the Xuan yuan Kong shui flag, and crouched behind a rock wall. After that, she quietly peered out, looking around. After a while, she didn't see anything. When she looked down, she found that nine little heads were stretching their necks from top to bottom, imitating her actions and peeking out.
What are you looking at? I don't know!
Just as the Phoenix was about to say something, she saw the largest Jinwu spirit with a face full of anger and rushing out in a hurry.
She acted swiftly with her eyes and hands, grabbing a feather from the Jinwu's tail and forcibly pulled the impulsive spirit back.
These few guys are really good at causing trouble, so she drew a golden circle on the ground and locked all nine Jinwu spirits inside. No one can get out unless their cultivation surpasses hers.
She crouched behind the rock wall, and waited quietly for a while longer, until the creature that Jinwu spirits disliked so much finally appeared.
This was a giant as tall as thirty meters.
The giant had strong muscles and hardened skin.
The flames burned on his body, emitting heat that could be suffocating.
The giant's body was incomplete; his head was only the right half, with the broken skull exposed, and the broken fangs seemed unusually fearsome. His left arm and shoulder did not exist, and the scorching flame energy flowed over the stump like blood, making a hissing sound.
The Phoenix focused her gaze, discovering that there seemed to be a piece of metal fragment with five colors of light shining through inserted in the giant's heart position. It was about the size of a palm, and from her perspective, she could still see patterns of mountains and rivers on the surface of the fragment.
The giant had lost more than a quarter of its body, indicating that it had died. However, due to the resilience of its body, although it had no consciousness, it still wandered aimlessly in nearby areas driven by instinct.
The nine Jinwu spirits all showed a deep grudge. Phoenix immediately woke up and realized that this was the Zushu Zhu Rong! Or rather, it was the corpse of Zhu Rong.
Houdu turned into rebirth, and Dijun self-exploded, killing the ancestor spirits Goumang, Roushou, Qiangliang and Shibitshi. Taiyi hugged the Chaos Bell and exploded, killing the ancestor spirits Dijiang, Zhu Rong, Gonggong, Zhujiu Yin, Xi Zi and Tian Wu. Twelve ancestor spirits finally only survived one - the ancestor spirit Xuan Ming.
Since Zhu Rong was killed by the explosion, then that piece must be...
The Phoenix looked at it for a while.
The Zushu's corpse seemed to notice her gaze. Its cloudy and milky eyes glanced around, as an ancestor spirit who had integrated combat instinct into its blood, the corpse unconsciously drew a ancient and heavy whip-shaped steel from the air.
The phoenix gestured for the Jinwu to be quiet while also using an incense breath charm.
The Wucai did not cultivate their spiritual energy, so they were weak in magic. Even if they became corpses, it would be even worse.
Zhu Rong's corpse looked around for a long time, failing to find any enemies, and then put away the steel whip. Taking heavy steps, it moved away into the distance.
Only until the creature left did the phoenix breathe a sigh of relief.
This creature looks extremely powerful. Without the Shan He She Ji Tu, she has no confidence at all.
Even with the Shan He She Ji Tu, she really doesn't have much confidence.
The phoenix's physical strength is powerful, but can it be stronger than the ancestor spirits formed by the integration of the Dao of Pangu's blood and the earth-nature? Even the mighty Pangu, with his twelve drops of blood, is just a corpse. Compared to her, going up there would be suicide.
