239: Chapter 239 The Qi of the Xuanyuan Sword Remains in the Volcano, Kong Xuan Goes into Seclusion

Wuzhiqi took advantage of the victory, his Demon Ape True Form swooped down, caught up to the heavily injured Grand Unity Golden Immortal, gripped the heaven-shaking staff with both hands, raised it high, and smashed down again!

"Second strike!"

Boom!!!

With another earth-shattering roar, the Physical Body of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal exploded on the spot, and his Primordial Spirit fled in a panic.

"Third strike!!!"

Wuzhiqi's Battle Intent reached its peak. The third strike descended from the air, causing even the surrounding space to collapse.

Rumble!!!

The Grand Unity Golden Immortal's Primordial Spirit, along with his Dao Fruit, was completely smashed into powder, leaving not even a chance for Reincarnation.

His true spirit returned to the Sea of True Spirits, waiting for the return after the Immeasurable Tribulation.

The battle ended.

The Demon Ape True Form transformed by Wuzhiqi slowly shrank, returning to his human form.

He was covered in blood and panting, yet he stood in place and laughed up at the sky:

"Hahaha... exhilarating! I actually defeated a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!!!"

Above, Human Emperor Xuanyuan nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. His figure flashed and landed beside Wuzhiqi. He raised his hand and cast a stream of Profound Yellow Qi to help him recover from his injuries and loss of vital energy, saying indifferently:

"Not bad... although there were slight flaws in the battle, you secured the victory in the end..."

Wuzhiqi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said excitedly:

"Teacher! Again! The Southern Lands are so vast, there must be many more demonic Cultivators or those burdened by Karma!"

"Disciple feels that after a few more, I might be able to achieve a Breakthrough to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan shook his head and chuckled:

"Continue advancing towards the Undying Volcano. If you encounter suitable opponents, you can go up and hone yourself further."

"Yes! Teacher!"

Wuzhiqi's Battle Intent grew even stronger. He shouldered the heaven-shaking staff and followed Human Emperor Xuanyuan to continue forward.

A hundred years later, Human Emperor Xuanyuan finally arrived at the periphery of the Undying Volcano with Wuzhiqi.

Human Emperor Xuanyuan did not deliberately conceal his aura. That aura belonging to the Middle Stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm spread out, and was sensed simultaneously by the powerful figures of the Phoenix Race inside the Undying Volcano.

Caifeng and other Phoenix Race Seniors at the Hunyuan Golden Immortal and Quasi-Saint levels were suddenly startled, a trace of timidity and wariness rising in their hearts.

Caifeng looked towards a secret cave heaven, watching the new generation of Grand Unity Golden Immortal Phoenixes who were in seclusion inside, and couldn't help but curse under her breath:

"It's all the fault of these Juniors...!"

Without them, how could the Phoenix Race be in such a state!

But it was too late to say anything now...

Beside Caifeng, a flash of Five-Colored Divine Light flickered. As the light dissipated, the figure of Young Master of the Phoenix Clan appeared.

Young Master of the Phoenix Clan and Caifeng exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and went out to welcome them together.

...

Outside the Undying Volcano.

Human Emperor Xuanyuan stood with his arms crossed, his eyes coldly watching the Undying Volcano ahead.

Wuzhiqi stood to one side, muttering impatiently:

"We've reached the Undying Volcano, so why can't we encounter a single demonic Cultivator or someone burdened by Karma..."

Human Emperor Xuanyuan said indifferently:

"What's the rush? We have been moving towards the Undying Volcano all along, and the chance of encountering demonic Cultivators or those with heavy Karma is already extremely rare."

"Wait until I give the Phoenix Race a warning, then I will take you to specifically search for suitable Cultivators to train!"

Hearing this, Wuzhiqi said pleasantly: "Thank you, Teacher!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two powerful auras rushed out from the Undying Volcano.

Caifeng and Young Master of the Phoenix Clan appeared simultaneously and landed in front of Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

Caifeng forced a smile and bowed:

"Welcome, Your Majesty the Human Emperor. May I ask what brings you here?"

Young Master of the Phoenix Clan stood to one side, his Five-Colored Divine Light flickering slightly, but his gaze was fixed on Human Emperor Xuanyuan, a trace of wariness flashing in his eyes.

Human Emperor Xuanyuan was expressionless and said indifferently:

"Just passing by. Bringing my Disciple to train, and checking on the Phoenix Race."

"The Phoenix Race has... been making some big moves these years. I hope you remember that in the midst of a Tribulation, some things are best left untouched. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Caifeng and Young Master of the Phoenix Clan bowed simultaneously and said:

"We will take the Human Emperor's teachings to heart."

Human Emperor Xuanyuan nodded slightly, said no more, and waved his hand. A sharp Sword Qi broke through the air and headed straight for the space interlayer above the Undying Volcano.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the space quietly cracked open a tiny fissure.

That Sword Qi contained pure Royal Law and the Law of the Sword, eternally branded into the space interlayer of the Undying Volcano.

It was a warning to the Phoenix Race, a form of supervision, and even more so, a form of protection.

After doing all this, Human Emperor Xuanyuan turned and left with Wuzhiqi.

After the two completely left, Young Master of the Phoenix Clan looked at the Sword Qi branded in the space interlayer, feeling the vast power of the Law upon it. He couldn't help but turn to look at Caifeng, his voice tinged with complexity:

"Grand Elder... clearly, Quasi-Saints and Hunyuan Golden Immortals are at the same level. Why is it that my cultivation at the Late Stage of the Quasi-Saint realm appears so insignificant before the Human Emperor's Middle Stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm?"

Caifeng sighed deeply, a trace of helplessness flashing in her eyes, but she still explained:

"Because, Quasi-Saints and Hunyuan Golden Immortals are not at the same level at all."

"Hunyuan Golden Immortals are far superior to Quasi-Saints in both combat power and foundation! It is just that under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao today, except for the Human Race, other races including the Saint Sects can only Cultivate the method of Cutting Three Corpses. The Hunyuan method is the true Righteous Path..."

Hearing this inside story of the Primordial World, Young Master of the Phoenix Clan's heart was full of agitation. A trace of frustration arose in his eyes for a moment, but it only existed for an instant before a burning fighting spirit was ignited:

"Since Quasi-Saint cannot compare, then I shall prove my Dao!"

Regarding this, Caifeng, who knew a little of the inside story, looked at him deeply. She did not discourage him, but said softly:

"I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince can find his own path..."

Subsequently, the two returned to the Undying Volcano.

Just after returning to the Undying Volcano, Young Master of the Phoenix Clan went directly into seclusion, leaving all matters of the Phoenix Race to Caifeng.

Caifeng immediately and forcibly dragged the new generation of Phoenix Race Grand Unity Golden Immortals who had previously slandered others out of their Dao fields.

Those few new generation Grand Unity Golden Immortals were still confused when they were dragged out, looking at Caifeng, not knowing what had happened.

In response, Caifeng explained while saying:

"It is all because of you that the Human Race has already come to our doorstep!"

While throwing them directly into the best Dao field of the Phoenix Race, she said sternly:

"Cultivate properly for this seat! The Tribulation Qi that the Phoenix Race has incurred should be resolved by you!"

The new generation of Phoenix Race Grand Unity Golden Immortals looked at each other, but did not dare to have any complaints, and could only obediently go into seclusion to Cultivate bitterly.

Caifeng watched their departing backs, sighed deeply, her eyes full of helplessness and worry:

"I hope... it is still in time."

...

After Human Emperor Xuanyuan left the Undying Volcano with Wuzhiqi, they continued to travel and train in the Southern Lands.

Wuzhiqi became braver with every battle along the way, his Law of War constantly improving, and he was getting closer and closer to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

The situation in the Southern Lands also quietly underwent subtle changes due to Human Emperor Xuanyuan's warning and Wuzhiqi's challenges.
