I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 778 Where is this?

Li Guangfeng, the withered branches of the towering sycamore tree, and even his father, whom he had just reunited with, were nowhere to be seen.

Above the crimson earth, the sky hangs low.

Xia Chengdao subconsciously looked up, and the next moment, his mind was struck as if by lightning.

The sky was not the sky he was familiar with.

Instead, it was an endless expanse of layered, crimson fire clouds. The fire clouds did not surge, but moved slowly in an unchanging rhythm, each turn seemingly affecting the very fabric of heaven and earth.

Deep within the sea of ​​clouds, the outline of a magnificent palace can be faintly seen.

The Fire God Pillar stands tall like a mountain, its surface flowing with ancient and mysterious fire patterns; the Heavenly Palace base floats in the void, exuding an aura of majesty that suppresses heaven and earth.

The entire world seemed to be a fiery realm.

Strangely enough, although everything here was completely unfamiliar, and the Heavenly Palace in the depths of the sea of ​​clouds exuded an aura of majesty that suppressed heaven and earth, it gave Xia Chengdao a very warm feeling, even a feeling of returning home.

It was as if he had always been born here.

"Where is this?" Xia Chengdao asked incredulously.

"The Dutian World! This is the Dutian World! Xia Chengdao, no, no, Master Xia, please, for the sake of us being from the Flame Phoenix Mountain lineage, please beg your father to spare my life!" Suddenly, a voice filled with fear and pleading entered Xia Chengdao's ears.

Xia Chengdao looked in the direction of the sound and then discovered a fire cage in front of him.

Inside the fire cage were two people, Yan Liming and Li Xuanxiao.

"Yan Liming, Li Xuanxiao, the Dutian World, so that's how it is!" Xia Chengdao was greatly shocked. Then a flash of inspiration struck him, and suddenly he understood everything.

At this moment, sparks of light flew out from the void and condensed into Xia Daoming's avatar.

“Father!” Xia Chengdao bowed slightly.

"Now you know, back at Li Guang Peak, I was just using a little trick. This Du Tian World is my real killing move."

"Don't even mention that Flame Phoenix Mountain is currently only guarded by a Golden Immortal of the True Transformation Realm. Even if it were guarded by a Golden Immortal of the Myriad Laws Realm, if Li Xuanxiao dares to collude with outsiders to kill you, I, your father, will still kill him without hesitation!" Xia Daoming said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the fire cage transformed into a ball of flame, enveloping the two of them as they flew towards the Heavenly Palace deep within the sea of ​​clouds.

In the Heavenly Palace, divine soldiers have already opened their furnaces, waiting to refine the Great Dao True Essence Pill.

"Thank you, Father! Now please see me out. Although that piece of withered paulownia wood has little life left, I still felt a faint sense of enlightenment when I stood in front of it just now."

"Furthermore, having survived this ordeal, I have gained a deeper understanding of life and death. Perhaps with the help of that piece of withered paulownia wood, I will be able to overcome the Yin Fire and Wind Tribulation and attain the Golden Immortal Path in just a few days!"

Xia Chengdao watched the fire cage disappear into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, calmed his turbulent emotions, and bowed to Xia Daoming.

"Alright, I'll take you there right away," Xia Daoming said with a smile, a hint of mischievous smugness in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chengdao felt a spatial force pull him in.

When he came to his senses, he looked up at the towering fire sycamore tree, which was surrounded by auspicious rosy clouds and whose leaves were like fiery clouds, layer upon layer, stretching as far as the eye could see. He was completely stunned.

A wisp of fire emanated from the fire sycamore tree, enveloping him completely.

The ancient fire phoenix bloodline hidden deep within him seemed to be ignited instantly, boiling within his body.

A phantom of a fire phoenix emerged from Xia Chengdao's body, circling the fire phoenix tree with great joy. Wisps of flame drifted from the fire phoenix tree and disappeared into the phantom of the fire phoenix.

The phantom of the fire phoenix solidified and grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xia Chengdao felt his bloodline being continuously stimulated and strengthened. Even the Nirvana Fire Intent was gradually conceived and gave birth to a wisp of Nirvana Sacred Fire, which continued to grow stronger and merged with the Nanming Li Fire. Gradually, he gained enlightenment, and magnificent scenes and infinite mysteries about the ancient fire phoenix kept emerging in his mind.

It was as if all of that was just a memory sealed in his mind, and now it was being unearthed and recalled one by one.

"This, this is the Fire Phoenix Tree! How is this possible, how is this possible?"

Xia Chengdao was suddenly startled and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Fire Phoenix Tree greets Young Master! Fire Phoenix Tree is not yet a Primordial Divine Tree, but one day it will grow into a Primordial Divine Tree and regain its former glory!" On the tree trunk, a huge face with eyebrows that looked somewhat like Xia Daoming appeared, looking at Xia Chengdao and speaking.

"Little Lord!"

When Xia Chengdao saw a face suddenly appear on the tree trunk and address him as Young Master, he was so startled that he couldn't help but take several steps back.

As Xia Chengdao stepped back, he discovered that his father's avatar was already standing behind him.

“Father!” Xia Chengdao bowed immediately.

Xia Daoming smiled, took his hand, and led him to sit down under the sycamore tree.

"During that great calamity, the ancient phoenix tree knew it could not escape, and at the moment of its destruction, it hid the seed of rebirth deep in one of its roots."

"I obtained it by chance, which allowed me to open up a boundless sea of ​​blood. My physical strength is no less than that of the pure bloodline of ancient dragons and phoenixes. This is how I was able to nourish it and allow the seed of life to sprout. Therefore, it can be considered a child that I raised."

"Right now, the Fire Phoenix Tree only has some innate divine tree life energy. It still has a long way to go before it can truly grow into an innate divine tree."

"This matter is extremely important. If it were to leak out, even Golden Immortals at the Origin Returning Realm would likely disregard their status and try to seize it. Therefore, I have not revealed even a single detail about this Fire Phoenix Tree to my highly respected elders in the sect."

"You and your mother have the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix, and with the help of the Fire Phoenix Tree, you can awaken a powerful ancient bloodline, which will bring you endless benefits. That's why your father brought you to the Fire Phoenix Tree."

"I understand. As long as we are outside, even if it is with you and Mother, I will not mention a word about this matter!" Xia Chengdao was an intelligent man, so how could he not understand? Hearing this, he immediately said solemnly.

"Alright, then you can cultivate and comprehend the Great Dao here!" Xia Daoming nodded, then transformed into specks of flame and disappeared.
-
Li Guangfeng, in a mountain hollow.

Xia Daoming looked up at the withered branch, raised his hand, and two sword lights, one yin and one yang, shot into the sky, transforming into black and white light curtains that fell down, enveloping the entire Li Guang Peak.

The sword light gleamed, like countless sharp swords forming a vast, undulating ocean.

Let alone trying to see with the naked eye, even an invisible divine thought would be instantly annihilated by the Yin-Yang sword light.

After setting up the Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword Formation to conceal the mountain hollow, Xia Daoming sat cross-legged in front of the withered branches that resembled towering pillars.

Invisible roots emerged from his body and disappeared into the withered branches.

Ancient patterns naturally formed on the withered branches lit up, radiating an astonishing life force and interpreting the profound and mysterious true meaning of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

After the ancient patterns lit up, they drifted down from the withered branches like dandelions, landing on Xia Daoming before disappearing into the ground.

As the ancient patterns fell, the withered branches, originally as hard as iron, melted away like snow from top to bottom, turning into wisps of green smoke and disappearing without a trace.

　That concludes today's update.
