I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 780 Flame Phoenix Mountain, Phoenix Perch Peak

With a sudden flap of its wings, the Golden Flame Roc streaked across the sky like a golden meteor and vanished instantly on the horizon.

"Lin Zhi, your loyalty is commendable. Here is a Great Dao True Essence Pill as a reward for you." Standing on the back of the Golden Flame Roc, Xia Daoming flipped his hand, and a Great Dao True Essence Pill floated towards Lin Zhi.

"Thank you for your generous gift, sir!" Lin Zhi hurriedly knelt down, his hands trembling as he held the Great Dao True Essence Pill.

She never dreamed that one day, she, a mere servant, would obtain a Great Dao True Essence Pill.

Even within the entire Flame Phoenix Mountain, only the most outstanding prodigies from the three main branches have the opportunity to obtain elixirs of this caliber.

Seeing that Lin Zhi had actually obtained a Great Dao True Essence Pill, the other four True Immortals, whose True Spirit had been taken away, were all extremely envious.

However, they also knew that it was already an immense favor that the four of them had escaped with their lives, so they dared not hope for the Great Dao True Essence Pill.

"As long as you four remain loyal and devoted in the future, your master will be generous with his rewards!" Xia Daoming glanced at the four men and said in a deep voice.

The four men's hearts skipped a beat. They immediately knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly, and pledged their loyalty with unwavering expressions.

Southeast of Fengzhu Immortal Continent.

The fiery clouds stretched for millions of miles.

Looking into the distance, the mountains stretch endlessly, their peaks like flames.

The entire mountain range resembles an ancient fire phoenix about to spread its wings and soar into the sky.

Crimson clouds often roll above the mountain gate.

Amidst the crimson glow, flocks of fiery phoenixes could be faintly seen soaring and circling.

The main peak of the mountain gate is named Tianyan Ancestral Peak.
At the summit of Zufeng Peak, an ancient temple floats suspended.

Palace Name: Phoenix Ancestor Heavenly Palace.

Legend has it that an ancient fire phoenix ancestor was reborn here and multiplied, forming the fire phoenix clan of Yanhuang Mountain today.

Over a long period of time, the Fire Phoenix Clan of Flame Phoenix Mountain multiplied and branched out, eventually forming the current power structure of three main branches and nine side branches.

The three main branches are the Li family, the Huangfu family, and the Yan family.

The nine major branches are the Yuwen family, the Ye family, the Xuanyu family, the Qingyan family, the Rong family, the Jiang family, the Yanchi family, the Wu family, and the Cui family.

Of course, in the long history of Flame Phoenix Mountain, there have been many changes of power.

New branches rise up, while old main branches decline, or are even swallowed up or disappear in the long river of history.

The current pattern of three main veins and nine side veins was formed 80,000 years ago and continues to this day.

The three main branches jointly control the Heavenly Flame Ancestral Peak and Flame Phoenix Mountain.

He was in charge of criminal law, mountain gate defense, and resource allocation.

He is the strongest among the three main branches and has always wanted to surpass the other two main branches and take sole control of the Heavenly Flame Ancestral Peak.

The Yan family is in charge of military affairs and foreign affairs.

His strength was originally no less than that of Li Jia, but a great war with the outside world occurred ten thousand years ago, resulting in the death of many powerful people and a severe loss of vitality, making him much weaker than before.

The Huangfu family is in charge of matters such as passing on skills, alchemy, and weapon crafting.

Among the three main branches, their strength is at the bottom. Moreover, the head of the Huangfu branch is naturally averse to vying for power, which has led to his growing influence over the years since he left home, giving him the potential to become the dominant force.

The nine major branches are much weaker than the three main branches, and each of them is dependent on the main branches.

The Yuwen family ranked low among the nine major branches and was dependent on the Huangfu family.

On this day, far from Flame Phoenix Mountain, a golden roc spread its wings and flew in.

"Father, that's Flame Phoenix Mountain!"

On the golden roc, Xia Chengdao pointed to the continuous mountain range ahead, its peaks like flames, his face full of excitement.

"As expected of the mountain gate of the ancient fire phoenix clan, its grandeur is extraordinary, and its foundation is far superior to that of the Flame Sparrow Clan of Blazing Sun Mountain!"

Xia Daoming gazed at Flame Phoenix Mountain, his eyes landing on the sky above the Heavenly Flame Ancestral Peak, where flocks of phantom fire phoenixes soared amidst the crimson clouds. A solemn expression appeared on his face.

Although Flame Phoenix Mountain has declined and no longer has a Golden Immortal of the Myriad Laws Realm to guard it, its mountain gate, which has existed since ancient times, has accumulated an immeasurable amount of resources. Even a Golden Immortal in the mid-stage of the Myriad Laws Realm would find it difficult to break through this mountain gate.

Of course, if a Golden Immortal in the late stage of the Myriad Laws Realm were to come in person, they would certainly be able to break through this mountain gate and destroy Flame Phoenix Mountain, but they would have to pay a price.

"Go to Phoenix Perch Ridge to see your mother first. As for leaving home, we'll settle accounts with them later!" Xia Daoming quickly turned his gaze away from the crimson sunset and said.

On the way here, Xia Chengdao had already told him everything about Flame Phoenix Mountain!

"It's Father! Mother will be overjoyed to see you!" Xia Chengdao said excitedly.

Xia Daoming didn't say anything, but his eyes were a little red as he looked southwest.

That was the direction of Phoenix Perch Ridge; he had already sensed Yuwen Feng's presence. Phoenix Perch Ridge was a secluded peak far from the ancestral peak among the thousands of peaks of Flame Phoenix Mountain.

In the mountains, red bamboo grows in abundance, and hot springs surround it.

Yuwen Feng sat cross-legged in the Phoenix Perch Palace. Behind his head, in the void, a ball of crimson-gold flame constantly changed, demonstrating the profound mysteries of the Great Dao. Within it, a fire phoenix seemed about to spread its wings and take flight.

But for some reason, as if bound by some kind of constraint, it was never able to take flight.

After a long while, Yuwen Feng opened his eyes, slowly got up, walked out of the main hall, stood in the red bamboo forest, and looked out at the mountain gate.

For some reason, she felt uneasy today, as if something big was about to happen.

"Could it be my son..." Yuwen Feng's heart stirred, and he quickly summoned people.

"Greetings, Peak Master!" Soon, an Eleventh-Rank True Immortal arrived.

"Is there any news about the young peak master?" Yuwen Feng asked.

"Reporting to Peak Master, there are none at the moment," the True Immortal replied.

"Keep a close eye on the young peak master's whereabouts, and report to me immediately if there is any news," Yuwen Feng said.

After saying that, Yuwen Feng glanced at the distant mountain gate again, then turned to return to the main hall to continue his cultivation.

"Peak Master..." The True Immortal hesitated upon seeing this.

"Why are you hesitating?"

"Elder Li Yuanji has sent someone to urge us again," Zhenxian replied, mustering his courage.

"You don't need to tell me about this in the future!" Yuwen Feng's expression darkened slightly, and the temperature of the Red Bamboo Forest, which was originally full of fire elemental energy, suddenly dropped, as if it had become a frozen land.

"But, but I heard that Protector Li Xuanxiao also went to Lieyao Mountain, and I'm worried..." the True Immortal said cautiously.

"Li Xuanxiao actually went to Lieyao Mountain too!" Yuwen Feng's expression changed drastically, then he turned around abruptly and walked out of the Red Bamboo Forest.

Just as she reached the edge of the red bamboo forest and was about to step out, the bamboo forest instantly burst into flames, engulfing her completely.

Yuwen Feng's eyes flashed with anger. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of phoenix-beak flame blades, slashing towards the wall of fire surrounding her.

"boom!"

The wall of fire exploded, only to close again in an instant.

No matter how Ren Yuwenfeng slashed, it was all in vain.

Yuwen Feng was furious, and a halo of light appeared behind his head.

Point your hand toward the halo of light.

Within the halo of light, the fire phoenix inside the ball of crimson gold flames struggled to flap its fiery wings, constantly ramming into the fireball, trying to break free.

"puff!"

The fireball trembled violently, and blood spurted from Yuwen Feng's mouth.

"Peak Master, you must not act rashly!" The True Immortal was greatly alarmed and immediately knelt down.

Yuwen Feng ignored him, and the fire phoenix, like a trapped beast, frantically charged into the crimson-gold fireball.

Blood gushed from his mouth repeatedly, and Yuwen Feng's breath grew weaker, but the look in his eyes became increasingly crazed.

Phoenix Perch Peak is thousands of miles away.

Xia Daoming's expression suddenly changed.

The golden-flamed roc suddenly flapped its wings.

The next moment, the Golden Flame Roc appeared outside the gate of Phoenix Perch Peak.

Immediately, streaks of fire shot into the sky, transforming into several figures who stepped forward to block their path.

However, when they saw Xia Chengdao and Lin Zhi, they immediately bowed and stepped aside.

The Golden Flame Roc flew over in an instant and landed outside the Red Bamboo Forest.

Seeing a familiar figure charging wildly through the sea of ​​red bamboo fire, his snow-white robes stained with blood, Xia Daoming's eyes reddened. He pointed his hand at the sea of ​​fire, and the fire instantly receded like a tide, transforming back into a bamboo forest.

　That concludes today's update.
