The woman exuded a very strong sense of allure in her expression. Her eyes were bright, like two pools of autumnal affection. Underneath her slight smile, there were two small dimples. A belt woven from wild silk was wrapped around her waist, and a flower cart stood nearby with branches of cinnamon circling the banner.
The woman presented a pitiful and charming demeanor, as if just seeing her could ignite the strongest desire to protect within one's heart.
The Phoenix expressed indifference to her decorations. The Goddess Luo, on the other hand, was much more beautiful than the woman in front of her. The only thing worth noting was the woman's socks on her legs, were they the leopard print thigh-highs that wealthy women love?
The woman was a bit surprised as well, she never expected to summon a female demon. The demon appeared to be relatively young, which made her wonder if the demon was capable of understanding their needs. She hoped her efforts wouldn't be wasted on someone who couldn't appreciate them.
Detecting the phoenix's gaze on her legs, she regained two points of confidence.
"Dear sister, please help me escape and I will certainly repay you handsomely in the future."
The phoenix's gaze shifted from the leopard print stockings to her feet, which were firmly planted in place. She had been standing at the outermost edge of the peach grove.
"Reward? How thick will it be? Why don't you give me a bit of compensation first, so I can see your strength?"
"Women: "
What strength are you referring to? I am already in a pitiful state. Why do you need me to prove any strength of mine?
The phoenix shook its head: "It seems there is no strength to speak of. Alright, let's make a deal then. You tell me some internal intelligence about the Xuanwu Kingdom, and I'll help you get out?"
The woman thought that she was acting a bit unconventional, and could only assume a heartbroken expression: "My name is Wu Luo, and I am the mountain god of this Qingyao Mountain."
The phoenix raised her hand: "Wait a minute! Wait! The Qingyao Mountain? The Qingyao Mountain where the treasure of Huangdi is kept?"
Wu Luo bat her eyes, thinking that the phoenix's focus seemed to be not on "Qingyao Mountain" or "Huangdi," but on the word "treasure." Was such a great figure as Huangdi negligible in her eyes?
"Ah, yeah? Are you seeking Huangdi's treasure? I can give it to you. When the people of Xuanyuan came to this world, they captured me and therefore brought Qingyao Mountain here as well."
The phoenix made an enlightened gesture, smacking her left hand with her right fist: "In the temple of attainment!"
Wu Luo: "？？？"
Communicating with this Phoenix clan is really a hassle! Wu Luo noticed the sarcasm in the phoenix's words, her inner fury no longer under control. A gust of bloodstained wind swept over, transforming her into a golden tiger. She leapt high in the air, her fangs and claws gleaming with coldness, ferociously attacking.
"Why didn't you just do that from the start? You really don't have any patience."
The phoenix took out her Phoenix staff, broke through space, and used the staff as a spear, disregarding the hundred-meter distance, and aimed a spear at the eyes of the golden tiger.
The golden tiger was agile and swift, moving like the wind, using some instinct of an animal to anticipate movements, and flashed away in advance. Just after landing and roaring, the Phoenix staff changed its attack from a spear to a smash, ferociously smashing the tiger's back.
The expected sound of bone cracking did not materialize.
In fact, the entire Qingyao Mountain shook twice after this attack. According to the phoenix's estimation, the money tiger should have been paralyzed from the waist up. However, instead, the money tiger let out a fierce roar and charged at her eyes.
The phoenix raised her staff to block the attack, and the golden tiger halted mid-air with its front paws tightly gripping the staff. Its entire body then pressed down.
The phoenix felt it was incredibly heavy, as if an entire mountain were pressing down on her.
"Are you truly the mountain goddess?" The phoenix unleashed five times her strength, tearing through her sleeve with ferocious force, revealing a half-length arm as white and jade-like. She gripped the staff with one hand, smashing it to the ground along with the golden tiger, causing another massive tremor in Qingyao Mountain.
A pot of tea later.
The golden tiger Wu Luo was struck on the head by the staff and its brain splattered, her body shook several times before she passed away.
After being killed, Wu Luo did not revert to her human form, as if the beautiful woman and the *** were illusions.
Three breaths later, the golden tiger was completely transformed into white smoke and vanished. The phoenix looked towards the nation surrounded by mountains, remaining silent.
The regeneration mechanism of the Phoenix clan was bottlenecked by the laws of heaven, but these Xuanyan people have indeed discovered a loophole and know how to play!
Eating the eggs of the phoenix is just a means to maintain physical health. They rely on the eternal volcanic activity.
The key to the " longevity of eight hundred" lies in the environment provided by the eternal volcanic activity. However, without the phoenix's rebirth abilities or the Western Paradise's Eights Treasures Pool, carrying all their past experiences into reincarnation might lead to mental disorders.
She secretly jotted down these speculations and ran ahead to Qingyao Mountain first. She would check for her Huangdi elder brother to see if any treasures were missing in the treasury.
Four enormous serpents, so large that their heads and tails cannot be seen, make up the world known as "The Fields of the Cosmos." The serpents have long turned into mountains. Qingyao Mountain was brought from the primordial chaos and has now become one with the mountain range formed by the serpents.
It is said that the original "Fields of the Cosmos" was a space with connected heads and tails, forming a quadrilateral shape. However, the phoenix did not notice how big this space was, nor did she see the gigantic snakes that could not be measured by length units.
The population of the Xuanyuan Kingdom is not particularly large, amounting to a few thousand to ten thousand people. The people here are the elite warriors of the Huangdi clan and have experienced both the Battle of Banquan and the Battle of Dule.
From a later perspective, it seems that these two battles were rather ordinary, with only a few words in the historical records representing them. In reality, if we don't count the involvement of sages, the intensity of these two battles was even higher than that of the War of Gods.
At that time, giants, dragons, phoenixes, and ancient divine beings all joined the battle. The human race during that time was much stronger than the people in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. There were many who could move mountains and fill seas with their physical strength.
The Xuanyuan people could not bear the brutality of the Battle of Dule. They left the battlefield in small factions and secretly arrived in the world of Eternal Volcano.
As the descendants of that era, even those who were deserters were all skilled in war and capable of fighting bravely. With their long lifespans, their martial arts had reached an extremely high level.
The true spirit of the Phoenix clan could not handle these outsiders, so they could only endure the theft of some Phoenix eggs and suffer in silence. The Xuanyuan people were also aware of the saying that even a strong dragon cannot oppress a local snake. They only took dozens at a time to avoid angering the impulsive Phoenix clan.
The phoenix synced the investigated information in real-time to Deng ChanYu.
These people transcending life and death, we need to think of a way from the side of the Primordial Chaos.
Deng ChanYu narrated to His Majesty the whole story about her friend encountering the people of Xuanyuan Kingdom.
After dinner, as Ji Jie was preparing to light a lamp for an all-night game of Mahjong, she was startled: "A race of people with a minimum lifespan of eight hundred years? Or tens of thousands?"
Sometimes tweaking the Death Register, as long as the people don't die and the officials don't blame it, things can still be made right. Don't ask, it's because of irregular management. But with tens of thousands of people exceeding the lifespan specified in the register, that definitely won't do.
In a lighter tone, it's disrupting the normal order of the Six Paths; in a stricter one, it's already destroying the foundation of the completion of PingXin NiangNiang's Dao.
These people have transcended the cycle of life and death. If others see them, might they try to copy them? If you can live, who would want to die?
Once the number of these transcendents forms a scale, it will be a huge harm to both the Underworld and PingXin NiangNiang.
