The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

In the small courtyard of Nancheng.

Ever since returning from Qingyang City, the little chick has been standing on the tree, lost in thought.

Around its neck hung an exquisite storage bag containing the remains of two phoenixes, its parents and Chen Xuan's old friends.

"Master, tell me, what did my parents experience more than eight thousand years ago?"

Blood is thicker than water, especially for a phoenix that relies on bloodline inheritance. Even after death, that feeling of bond still lingers in its heart.

Chen Xuan paused for a moment, "I don't know what they went through, because when I returned to the mountains, they only had a sliver of life left."

"what?"

The grieving chick turned its head and looked at him, "Master, are you drunk?"

"My parents died more than 8,000 years ago, how could you have seen them?"

There's something I want to tell you.

Chen Xuan said solemnly, "Your parents are the old friends I mentioned to you, the Phoenixes."

"The reason why the phoenix fire they left behind resonates so well with you is because of this."

!!!

The chick's pupils widened suddenly. "Master, could it be that you've lived for over eight thousand years?"

"That's certainly true in that cultivation world."

Chen Xuan nodded.

In modern times, however, he only lived to be in his twenties; the only difference was in his temperament.

The chick's brain isn't big enough anymore.

Didn't the master say that he wasn't a reincarnated person? Why has he lived for over eight thousand years?

Forget it, my brain capacity is too small; I don't need to think about such mysterious things.

If you can't figure it out, then focus on what's in front of you.

It slammed its hand on the table, stood up, and said fiercely, "How...how did my people die? Did they die with my parents?"

"Could it be that a powerful demon has invaded Wutong Mountain and is about to annihilate my Phoenix Clan?"

Chen Xuan ruffled the feathers that had stood up and said casually, "Someone wiped out the Phoenix Clan, and that person was me."

"what?"

"what?"

"Huh?"

The chick was dumbfounded and bewildered, its voice trembling as it asked, "What... what's going on?"

"First of all, those phoenixes are not your kind."

"Because your parents betrayed the Phoenix Clan long ago and established their own kingdom."

"Finally, your parents were killed by those phoenixes."

At this point, Chen Xuan paused, his voice indifferent, "So, on that day, I avenged your parents, venturing alone into Phoenix Mountain and slaughtering every last member of the Phoenix clan."

That mountain built from the remains of a phoenix is ​​his masterpiece.

The remains of the chicks' parents sit atop the hill, meant to make these damned phoenixes atone for their sins.

The only thing he couldn't understand was why it was the completely dead Wutong Mountain that turned into a secret realm and fell into the modern world.

Why couldn't it have fallen and merged in before the incident at Wutong Mountain and before the old friend Phoenix died?

In this way, we will be able to see them again.

A bolder conjecture... As the two worlds merge, Wutong Mountain could fall and merge multiple times, each time at a different time?

In this way, the revival of spirituality in modern times becomes much more interesting.

With its limited brain capacity, the chick certainly couldn't think of that level; all it wanted to know was how its parents died.

"Master, can you tell me about Wutong Mountain?"

"Can."

Chen Xuan nodded.

……

Four hundred years have passed since the Sword Dao Era began, and two hundred and twenty years have passed since Chen Xuan left this deep mountain.

During this time, in order to break through to the third realm, he traveled through the Tianfeng Dynasty, experienced all aspects of life, and occasionally taught those with love-obsessed minds.

The golden age of the Tianfeng Dynasty is already beginning to emerge.

As they gain more experience, their romantic minds become harder to fool, and their style gradually changes, leaning towards a domineering, emperor-like demeanor.

A few days ago, I even sneaked into his bed; it was impossible to guard against.

【My lord, we are pregnant with the fruit of our love, a phoenix and a dragon, which are about to be born.】

We would like to ask you to come back and name them.

It was after receiving this message, and since I hadn't been back to the mountains for a long time, that I decided to go back.

He swore it was definitely not because of the hundreds of phoenix eggs that his old friend, the phoenix, had sent over the past two hundred years.

That said, the phoenix eggs they've delivered over the years have been really delicious—chewy, bouncy, and big and round.

Take it and make it into preserved eggs, then add some high-quality chili peppers to make a dish called "preserved egg and chili pepper stir-fry"—the taste is absolutely amazing.

I just don't know where they found so many phoenix eggs... Hmm, they must have come from the old phoenixes on Wutong Mountain.

Stealing so many eggs has probably caused them to become extinct.

What a ruthless pair of old friends from the phoenix world, they're ruthless when it comes to revenge... I taught them well.

With these thoughts running wild, Chen Xuan carried the fine wine brewed by his love-struck brain and walked into the mountains and forests, into that valley.

Then, he saw his old phoenix friend lying on the ground, barely alive, while several members of the immortal sect were using an array to extract their phoenix essence.

"Um?"

"Who are you, daring to trespass on the forbidden grounds of our Luoxia Sect?"

The elder at the head, dressed in a white robe, exuded an aura of majesty. Behind him, illusory images kept appearing, indicating that he had already entered the realm of Nascent Soul.

"Your forbidden area?"

Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold. "When did this place, where I've lived for over a hundred years, become your forbidden territory?"

"Sect Master, why waste words with him? This man is disrupting our refining of the Phoenix Essence, ruining the sect's important affairs. He deserves to die!"

Another lean old man stepped forward, his body radiating purple light, indicating that he had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

"You all deserve to die."

Chen Xuan's gaze turned cold, and without saying another word to them, he took the initiative to attack.

With just one step, his figure vanished from the spot, leaving behind layers of afterimages that stretched endlessly, as if traversing space, and in an instant he appeared before the two of them.

"What?"

"Shrinking the earth to a foot?"

"This isn't a divine ability that only those at the Void Refinement Realm can master?!"

This scene instantly chilled the two originally arrogant men to the bone, making their hair stand on end.

In this era, Pei Jianzun was the first to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and several others followed suit, but no one has ever reached the Void Refinement stage!

For them, this is the legendary realm!

"Damn it!"

"It's fake! It must be fake! No one has broken through to the Void Refinement Realm; he's just putting on an act!"

The person addressed as Sect Master, under Chen Xuan's indifferent gaze, went from fear to rage, mobilizing all his strength to launch an attack without regard for anything else.

However, Chen Xuan didn't even glance at him and walked straight past him.

Bang! Bang! Bang—

No one saw Chen Xuan make a move, or even knew if he had made a move at all. After a series of sounds, their heads exploded like watermelons.

That Nascent Soul Sect Master remained in disbelief until his death.

He was a powerful figure in the Immortal Sect, one of the few Nascent Soul cultivators in the world, and yet... he died just like that?

boom!

As the flames ignited, his primordial spirit was instantly incinerated.

Ignoring what was happening behind him, Chen Xuan looked at the two phoenixes, who were barely breathing, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
