My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

The Phoenix-Perching Wutong tree is entirely amber in color, its crown spreading out like a giant umbrella, shading an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Golden-red spiritual light flows through its leaf veins, and the entire tree seems to be breathing.

Most miraculously, tens of thousands of phoenix phantoms perch among the branches of the parasol tree.

Those are the divine soul imprints left behind after the fall of phoenixes throughout history.

Whenever a member of the Phoenix Clan approaches, a phantom image spreads its wings and cries out, as if welcoming a younger generation back.

of course.

More importantly, it is the phoenix's rebirth, rising from the ashes. If conditions permit, the phoenix clan will return to this sacred tree to complete the rebirth ceremony.

At the base of this sacred tree, there is a spring with golden-red water, which is known to outsiders as the Spring of Nirvana.

Legend has it that as long as a wisp of one's soul remains, entering this place can reshape one's physical body.

only……

This spring takes three thousand years to accumulate enough water to give birth to a person, hence it is revered as a treasure of the Phoenix Clan.

Not only that.

Nirvana Spring Water is also the key to the Phoenix Clan's inheritance. In the early years of a Phoenix Clan member, if they consume a drop of the essence condensed from Nirvana Spring Water, they have a chance to increase their bloodline concentration and even have the opportunity to awaken the ancient Phoenix divine power.

There is a very harmonious symbiotic relationship between the phoenix tree and the phoenix clan.

If one possessed such a natal spiritual root, one wonders what kind of transformation it would bring. Gu Qing looked at the divine tree before him and couldn't help but imagine in his heart.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing's heart stirred, and he asked, "Senior Qingluan, may I ask how many years this Phoenix-Perching Wutong tree before us has grown to its current extraordinary state?"

"Ha ha!"

Lan Siqi smiled upon hearing this, and then explained:

"Fellow Daoist Gu may not know that this Phoenix-Perching Wutong Tree is an ancient creature that existed since the beginning of time. The Phoenix-Perching Wutong Tree came first, and then the Phoenix Clan."

According to ancient myths passed down by human cultivators, the original Yanji Continent was a place of flowing lava, where only a few powerful beings who had created the world could survive.

Later, the Phoenix Tree attracted the Phoenix Clan from the void. Through the Phoenix Clan's countless years of governance, the Fiery Continent evolved into the vibrant and prosperous place it is today.

"Therefore, the Phoenix Clan is also the undisputed royal family of the Fiery Continent."

"Whether they are demonic beasts or humans, they all revere the phoenix."

Upon hearing Lan Siqi's revelation, Gu Qing felt a chill run down his spine.

"Did they create life from scratch?"

"Could the Phoenix-Perching Tree be an innate spiritual root?!"

Spiritual roots are also divided into different grades. The Bitter Bamboo of the Sword Realm that Gu Qing cultivated is also a spiritual root, but it can only be classified as an ancient spiritual root.

If Lan Siqi's revelation is true, the value of the Phoenix Tree will increase several notches.

"good."

"The phoenix-perched parasol tree is indeed an innate spiritual root."

"Moreover, in our world, there are four innate spiritual roots that have been passed down since the beginning of time, each settling on one of the four continents of this world."

The Tiannan Continent where you were before also had a primordial spiritual root called the Myriad Manifestations Star Osmanthus.

According to clan records, Wanxiang Xinggui was destroyed in a great battle three million years ago.

"Yes, perhaps there are also secondary spiritual roots evolved from the shattered origin of the Myriad Manifestations Star Osmanthus. If one could obtain even one, it would be a heaven-defying opportunity for human cultivators."

The three of them rode on the fairy boat, chatting as they went.

When Gu Qing stepped onto the sacred tree, the Phoenix-Perching Wutong, he discovered that this sacred tree actually formed its own world. Stepping onto the tree and looking at the sacred tree again, he felt as if he could not recognize the true face of Mount Lu.

Looking up at the sky, you can't see how high the top of the tree's crown is; its height is definitely well over ten thousand meters. The branches of the entire sacred tree are like layers of floating islands, inhabited by many other birds and other creatures.

Upon Gu Qing's arrival, a ball of flame, about a hundred meters long, flew out from an island made of tree branches several kilometers away. It resembled a bird-like energy-state life form composed of flame particles.

The flames on the wings of this fiery bird were vermilion, while the flames on its head and body were blue.

The fiery bird left a trail of two-colored light in the sky.

"Elder Qingluan, you're back!!"

The light descended and transformed into a young woman of about sixteen, dressed in a blue-green dress, standing before the three of them.

"Huh!"

"Lan Siqi, the alchemist you recommended is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Is he reliable?"

The girl looked at Gu Qing and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Lan Siqi glared at her and said irritably, "Please remove that 'ma' word. Fellow Daoist Gu's alchemy skills are beyond doubt. If you doubt Fellow Daoist Gu, you are doubting me."

Qingluan looked at the girl helplessly and said, "Xiao Lan, you go back to your duty. I'll take care of things here."

"Hmph, fine, I won't tell you then."

"Elder Qingluan, I am no longer Xiaolan, but Xiaohong."

The girl raised her hands, which transformed into wings, indicating that her flames were undergoing a transformation.

When the phoenix is ​​young, its flames undergo several transformations.

When they reach adulthood, they will undergo a rebirth and ultimately transform into a phoenix.

The phoenix has five different forms, among which the blue one is the Qingluan.

After the incident at the entrance, Gu Qing continued flying towards the Phoenix Tree. She followed the Azure Phoenix for an unknown amount of time until she looked up at the sky and saw that the branches were no longer crisscrossing, but instead, stars began to appear.

Until this moment, on a cluster of tree branches on an island ahead, Gu Qing saw a magnificent palace made of strange resin.

The resin palace is entirely blue-green, its translucent texture containing countless fireflies-like lights.

The hall is a single, seamless structure, without any visible seams, as if it grew directly from a tree branch. Within the pillars, the phantom of a phoenix can be faintly seen moving about, and at each corner of the eaves rests a lifelike stone statue of a blue phoenix, seemingly about to spread its wings and take flight.

"The Phoenix Palace is just ahead."

"The Phoenix Palace has one Palace Master, two Deputy Palace Masters, and five Elders."

"That main hall in front is where the palace master lives."

"Let's go see the Palace Master!"

Upon entering the Phoenix Palace grounds, Gu Qing immediately sensed that it was different from the outside.

I couldn't help but look up at the sky and saw that above the Phoenix Palace, the stars were dazzling and the light of the Milky Way cascaded down like a waterfall.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers from all directions, condensing into a visible spiritual mist.

Just by taking a single breath, I felt the quality of the spiritual energy within my body actually improve.

If you live in this place for ten or eight years, even a pig can take off.

"Fellow Daoist Gu."

"When you meet the Palace Master later, tell her your true identity directly."

"It's common to see mercenaries employed by the Immortal Kingdom in Phoenix Palace."

"Senior Qingluan..."

Gu Qing followed Qing Luan forward when Qing Luan suddenly uttered these words, leaving Gu Qing somewhat stunned.

"hehe."

Seeing Gu Qing's expression, Qingluan laughed and said, "What, you don't think all of us Purple Mansion cultivators are natives, do you?"
