162: Chapter 162 The Eye of Tracing the Origin

A Phoenix flew out, rays of colored light blooming, manifesting a vast wondrous phenomenon behind her.

Within that wondrous phenomenon, three thousand Dao floated and sank.

Countless Auspicious Beasts manifested, galloping and crying out.

Flowers of the Dao bloomed.

Various wondrous phenomena presented themselves, accompanied by a vast Emperor Might spreading out.

This bird was precisely Xiaoxue.

"This magic power is approaching the Thirteenth Realm?" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed; Xiaoxue clearly had a new transformation in the Nirvana Pool.

Her feathers were even brighter.

Every single one was suffused with colored light, seemingly containing a Domain within, with Dao wondrous phenomena manifesting.

In the nearby Nirvana Pool, flames soared into the sky, and a Fire Phoenix with wings spread out to ten thousand meters hovered in the air.

Behind her, flames blossomed, manifesting a world of the Dao of Fire.

Inside, the flames writhed, evolving into individual Fire Phoenixes hovering and crying out.

Subsequently, ripples stirred across the body of the Phoenix whose wings could spread ten thousand meters, transforming into a peerless beauty wearing a fire dress. She was precisely Huang Qianye, who had refined a massive amount of Nirvana Heart Flame. At this moment, the imprint of the Dao Law at the center of her brows was manifested.

Her aura had remarkably reached the thirteenth realm, restoring her Emperor Realm cultivation.

She stood barefoot, flames rolling around her body. It seemed that with a single thought, she could cause the flames to roll backward and incinerate the heavens and extinguish the earth.

"This little fellow has Emperor Realm Dao Profound Truths awakening within her body..." Huang Qianye's beautiful eyes blinked as she looked at the Phoenix manifested above the nearby Nirvana Pool. Her eyes shone brightly. "Within every single one of her feathers, Dao Laws float and sink..."

"Clearly she is an Ice Phoenix..."

"Yet she controls thousands of Dao Laws..."

"She... who is she?"

"The Ice Phoenix Clan actually produced such a Prodigy?"

Huang Qianye's thoughts were turbulent.

She had only attained the Emperor status by cultivating the Nirvana Dao of the Phoenix Clan.

Although her strength was extraordinary and she reached the Eight-Calamity Realm cultivation at her Peak.

Yet compared to the Phoenix before her right now, she felt a gap like that between fireflies and the bright moon.

The thousands of Dao Laws hidden within the latter gave people a feeling as profound as a vast river of stars, unshakable.

"Ya!"

Seeming to sense Huang Qianye's gaze, Xiaoxue let out a soft "ya". Ripples stirred across the little fellow's body, transforming her back into the chubby little bird appearance from before. Turning into a streak of colored light, she flew toward Xie Wushang by the neighboring Nirvana Pool.

She directly pounced into Xie Wushang's embrace, burrowing into his clothes and only revealing a little head, her gaze cautious.

Seeing this, Xie Wushang couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out and stroked Xiaoxue's little head, saying, "Don't be afraid, that's one of our own."

"Ya, yiya." Xiaoxue nodded, cautiously glancing at Huang Qianye before immediately shrinking back into Xie Wushang's clothes.

Seeing the little fellow's vigilant appearance, Huang Qianye smiled amusedly, then strolled over to Xie Wushang's side.

However, Xie Wushang knew that the little fellow had been ambushed by the Red-Crowned Python, leaving a shadow in her heart that would likely be hard to erase.

"Revered Master, how is your strength now?" Xie Wushang cupped his hands in a bow and asked.

"I have already recovered the Emperor Realm, but wanting to step into the Two-Calamity Realm still requires numerous precious herbs to strengthen my Primordial Spirit and fortify my physique."

Huang Qianye said.

"Stepping into the Emperor Realm is a good start. Given time, Revered Master will definitely recover to your Peak and surpass the past." Xie Wushang said.

Huang Qianye nodded. "When your strength is a bit stronger, this Revered Master will make a trip to the Phoenix Clan, and we can improve further."

There were also precious herbs left in her former Daoist arena.

Besides that, her Nirvana Daoist arena also had her own Origin heart flame and lingering Dao charm, all of which could help her recover somewhat.

"Mn!" Xie Wushang nodded.

If he could help Revered Master recover her strength, his own foundation would also improve accordingly.

By then, even if the various Emperor Clans arrived hand in hand, there would be nothing to fear.

"In that case, let us go look for the 'undying phoenix flower'." Huang Qianye's gaze narrowed as she looked toward the distant Void Realm and said.

She also knew that Xie Wushang's purpose for this trip was the undying phoenix flower.

Xie Wushang nodded. His body soared straight up, flying away from the Nirvana Pool.

Afterward, he came to a high altitude in this region, sweeping his Divine Sense in all directions.

Huang Qianye also released her Divine Sense to scan around.

The strength of a Great Emperor's Divine Sense was far from what ordinary people could match.

However, Huang Qianye's Divine Sense at present was only slightly stronger than Xie Wushang's.

After all, Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul had also undergone Nirvana once. Now, his Primordial Spirit power had doubled, comparable to an ordinary Great Emperor.

As their gazes swept past, Xie Wushang and Huang Qianye locked onto a valley location in the center of a distant mountain range almost simultaneously.

There shockingly was another Nirvana Pool there.

It was a Nirvana place for ancient Phoenixes, still retaining Great Emperor Dao charms.

Besides that, beside the Nirvana Pool, it was filled with planted flowers and plants.

"There... is the location of the herb garden here..." The Holy Spirit Bird flew over, looking at the valley ahead with burning eyes.

It had also discovered the special nature of that place.

"The valley still retains the aura of the 'undying phoenix flower'..." Huang Qianye said.

"Let's go!" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed, flying toward that area at extreme speed.

Behind them, Jiang Nianyang and Jiang Ruoxi also followed.

They had also withdrawn from secluded cultivation.

Whoosh!

Xie Wushang and the others arrived at the valley.

Colorful flowers and plants grew alongside countless spiritual elixirs.

The petals of many precious herbs bloomed, with Phoenix flames condensing into birds above them.

Like the embryonic form of a Phoenix.

"So many holy herbs... they are all mine..." The Holy Spirit Bird's face was filled with joy as it went to harvest those holy herbs.

"There are even quasi-Emperor-grade precious herbs..." Jiang Nianyang's gaze narrowed.

He also couldn't help but go harvest them.

"Ya!" Xiaoxue flew out from Xie Wushang's embrace, also locking onto a few precious herbs.

As for Xie Wushang, he activated the Eye of False Delusion, scanning in all directions.

"There is no 'undying phoenix flower'?" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed.

Glancing over with a sweep, he did not find the undying phoenix flower.

Not even in the Nirvana Pool ahead.

"That shouldn't be! This place clearly still has the aura of the 'undying phoenix flower'." Huang Qianye murmured.

"Open, my 'Eye of Retracing Source'..." Xie Wushang guided his hand incantation, slicing his index finger toward the center of his brows.

In an instant, ripples stirred at the center of his brows; the 'Eye of False Delusion' vanished, replaced instead by the 'Eye of Retracing Source'.

The Eye of Retracing Source...

Can reverse time and return to the past.

Of course, this kind of reversal is only a momentary reversal of scenes, deducing the past.

It cannot last long.

Wanting to truly reverse time and return to the past is something even Great Emperors cannot do.

Xie Wushang nowadays had only mastered a fraction of the Law power within this Dao.

"Hmph, puny fellow, good thing this deity was vigilant and ran away in advance, otherwise I would have suffered a tragic fate."

Just as Xie Wushang activated the 'Eye of Retracing Source', inside a divine platform within the Secret Realm, a precious herb suffused all over with flames that also evolved into a Phoenix hovering above the flower looked toward the direction of the herb valley with a smug face, speaking with a proud and spoiled expression.

This was shockingly the 'undying phoenix flower'.

"Sigh, it's just that the outside world is dangerous, and this deity can only fight with all its might... Detestable humans!"

The 'undying phoenix flower' let out a long sigh; it had remarkably already given birth to intelligence.
