From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

In an instant, all kinds of speculations emerged in Xiao Minghuang's mind, and her thoughts raced.

Perhaps seeing her doubts, the Immortal Phoenix explained: "Don't be afraid, I have no ill will towards you. The reason I asked about your ancestors is because your blood makes me feel a little familiar. There may be some kind of connection between us. If you can tell me where your ancestors came from, I can confirm this."

The Immortal Phoenix had a hopeful look in its eyes, and seemed to be very expectant.

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang put aside his doubts for the time being and told him some of the information.

"The Great Xia Nation where I was born originated from the Zhongtian Immortal Dynasty. After the death of the fifth emperor Yuanji, the Great Xia Dynasty went from strength to strength and later moved to the East Pole, where it continued to decline. More than 800 years ago, it moved to the South Border, where it remains today."

All of this history of ancient Daxia came from the Daxia Imperial Palace, which was told to her by her ancestors in the Hualongchi secret realm. She simplified it and told it to the Immortal Phoenix.

The Immortal Phoenix listened quietly, as if lost in some kind of recollection, muttering to himself: "So that's how it is... No wonder my blood resonates with you... So that's how it is..."

As it spoke, it looked at Xiao Minghuang again, its eyes becoming more kind and gentle: "Child, you are my descendant..."

This statement came out.

Xiao Minghuang almost couldn't hold back his expression, and asked in astonishment: "What...what?"

She is human.

The Immortal Phoenix is ​​an innate creature.

How could there be a blood relationship between the two of them?

But before Xiao Minghuang could react, the Immortal Phoenix seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled faintly: "You don't have to refute. My blood flows in your body. You are of my race."

"I know, you must want to know why. Let me tell you slowly."

Xiao Minghuang just smiled and said nothing. She wanted to hear what kind of ghost stories this immortal phoenix could tell.

"Eternally, I was born from a fairy womb, and the one who appeared before me was a beautiful woman with long hair as bright as fire."

"She is the twin holy body of the Innate Fire Holy Body and the Heavenly Desire Holy Body. She used her blood essence to hatch me from the immortal womb. To me, she is like a sister and a mother. She leads my direction, and I follow her footsteps."

The Immortal Phoenix narrated slowly, as if reminiscing about the glorious past years, but more importantly, it was reminiscing about the good memories of the past.

"When I was young, she took me to travel the world, taught me how to practice, and helped me improve my cultivation. We were together for a long time. Those were the happiest and most beautiful days of my life..."

Having said this, her tone suddenly changed and became sad and mournful.

"Unfortunately, one day, everything changed."

"A group of evil people broke into our home, destroyed everything around us, and killed all our friends!"

467. Emperor Zhu Yan

"She took me with her and tried her best to escape, but she was seriously injured and on the verge of death. She left me one last word, asking me to leave, otherwise she would drag me to death..."

The voice of the Immortal Phoenix became lowered, as if it was trapped in a distant memory, unable to extricate itself for a long time.

As Xiao Minghuang listened to this sad and miserable story, for some reason, she felt complicated and even a little painful and sad.

"but..."

Suddenly, the Immortal Phoenix sneered, "How could I abandon her?"

"I watered her body with my blood and nurtured her true spirit. After who knows how long, she was reborn in Nirvana!"

"...We will take revenge and kill all those enemies!"

"After that, as the only person who had lived out the taboo of a second life since the beginning of the era, she successfully achieved enlightenment and became an emperor!"

After hearing this, Xiao Minghuang had some guesses, but he didn't reveal them easily. He deliberately asked, "What does what the senior said have to do with me and my ancestors?"

Upon hearing this question, the Immortal Phoenix did not give a direct answer.

In the sky, the huge shadow of the Immortal Phoenix suddenly trembled, emitting a blazing flame that enveloped it completely. In the blink of an eye, it shrunk to about five feet in size and transformed into a woman in red.

She looked very young, probably in her prime, with skin as white as jade and a heroic look between her brows.

Seeing the Immortal Phoenix transformed into a human form, Xiao Minghuang's heart moved slightly. Perhaps because she had some guesses in her mind, she looked at the Immortal Phoenix transformed into a human form and unexpectedly felt that there seemed to be some similarities between her eyebrows and the other party...

The immortal phoenix that had transformed into a human form stared at her with a burning gaze, and said seriously: "She I'm talking about is one of the five emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty you mentioned, the fourth generation emperor, Emperor Zhu Yan!"

"At that time, it was called the Purple Star Divine Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang was stunned for a moment.

According to the ancestor of Hualongchi, Daxia has no other name...

But the next moment, she felt relieved.

That ancestor only knew about the holy land after Great Xia migrated eastward, and he might not be very clear about the more distant ancient times.

And if the Immortal Phoenix before her was really, as she said, on good terms with Emperor Zhu Yan and they lived in the same era, then her words would be even more credible.

The name Ziwei must have been removed from use after Daxia moved eastward and was stolen by the Ziwei Holy Land.

However, after saying so much, Xiao Minghuang still didn't hear the explanation she wanted to hear.

"So, where does the connection between us that you mentioned come from?"

Xiao Minghuang asked.

Hearing this, the Immortal Phoenix raised the corner of its mouth and smiled.

"Of course Zhu Yan and I had many children..."

This statement came out.

Even though Xiao Minghuang was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but widen his eyes at this moment, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

These words were so subversive that she forgot what to say.

Upon seeing this, the Immortal Phoenix laughed.

"You feel strange, but the people at that time felt even stranger. After all, before that time, the living beings believed that opposites attract and sames repel. If same-sex couples got together, they would be considered to be punished by God."

"However, even the agent of heaven, the emperor, has personally given birth to a child for his same-sex partner, so naturally, no one cares about this old tradition anymore."

Hear this.

A blush appeared on Xiao Minghuang's cheeks, and her expression became more and more unsettled. From the sound of it, it seemed that the one who gave birth to the child was not the Immortal Phoenix, but her ancestor!

However, Xiao Minghuang would not believe it easily. She calmed down and asked, "Even if what you said is true, Daxia... Ziwei Divine Dynasty is an immortal dynasty with more than tens of millions of descendants. How do you know that I am a descendant of Emperor Zhuyan's lineage?"

"Of course I know." The Immortal Phoenix said calmly, "The reason is very simple. During the Water and Fire Incident, all the descendants of the Purple Star Dynasty were slaughtered by the traitors. The only Purple Star bloodline in the entire Zhongtian East Pole is Zhu Yan."

"Since her beginning, all the descendants of the Purple Star Divine Dynasty are descendants of Zhu Yan!"

Xiao Minghuang was stunned.

She had thought that the Great Xia Dynasty had a large number of descendants, but she had not expected that they were all from the lineage of Emperor Zhu Yan!

The Great Xia Dynasty, also known as the Ziwei Dynasty, was on the brink of genocide.

However, what surprised her the most was that if what the Immortal Phoenix said was true, then the mysterious innate creature in front of her, the Immortal Phoenix, was her blood ancestor.

And he is the real bloodline ancestor!

Suddenly, an emotion called embarrassment emerged in her heart.

I thought it was just an ordinary training in a secret realm, but I didn't expect to find an ancestor for myself.

Xiao Minghuang took several deep breaths, trying to regulate his disordered breathing.

"Then... Senior... why are you hiding here?"

"Kid, you really know how to say nice things."

The Immortal Phoenix did not correct Xiao Minghuang's way of addressing him. He sighed and said, "Can't you see? I'm actually dead..."

Xiao Minghuang shook his head and didn't dare to criticize the other party.

"Do you know why I say that?"

Xiao Minghuang continued to shake his head.

"The lifespan of innate creatures is much longer than that of acquired creatures. They can safely survive not only one era, but also ten eras, or even a hundred eras. However, this is only if they don't encounter unexpected situations... In other words, even innate creatures will die if they are killed!"

"I was killed by someone."

"I think your strength is not inferior to that of an earthly immortal, so how could you be trapped by others?"

Xiao Minghuang asked puzzledly.

Upon hearing this, the originally calm Immortal Phoenix suddenly became violent and filled with resentment.

Her sudden anger caused the void of the world to tremble, and the calm surface of the blood pool suddenly rolled up layers of waves, as if it could not withstand her pressure, and rose several meters high.

It took a long time before it regained its composure.

Xiao Minghuang held his breath and concentrated.

Her intuition told her that the powerful man in front of her seemed to have an extremely important past.

"You are wrong." The Immortal Phoenix said coldly: "It's not just me who was framed, but also Zhu Yan..."

"In an unprecedented war of expansion, Zhu Yan, I and many other soldiers fought desperately and finally won. But just when we were relaxing, the three people, Zhenwu God, Taiwei Priest, and Qiyao Priest, who had not appeared before, suddenly attacked us. In order to protect me, Zhu Yan..."

"Emperor Zhu Yan has fallen?"

Xiao Minghuang frowned. She knew that there was a Zhenwu Earth Immortal in the Five Directions and One World, but she wondered if the "Zhenwu Divine General" mentioned by the Immortal Phoenix was related to the Zhenwu Earth Immortal she knew.

"Of course not. Zhu Yan used a rare treasure from the heavens to suppress the three people."

468. Above the Immortals

At this point, the Immortal Phoenix suddenly changed his expression and gritted his teeth and said, "But at this moment, the True Martial God General used some unknown means to invite a terrifying existence!"

Xiao Minghuang frowned and asked, "What is that existence?"

"I have no idea!"

The Immortal Phoenix shook his head:

“I don’t know who He is…”

The Immortal Phoenix shook his head and spoke slowly, with a hint of fear remaining in his expression.

"I only know that when the gates of heaven opened, He descended. He does not belong to this world. With just a glance, my way of the Immortal Phoenix was shattered. I could only rely on the powerful body of an innate creature to fight. Then He used his finger as a sword to kill me..."

At this point, her voice trailed off.

Xiao Minghuang was silent.

The Immortal Phoenix is ​​an innate creature and has already reached the realm of Earthly Immortal. Even against the master of a world, it has the strength to fight.

But facing the person from outer space as she mentioned, she didn't have the slightest power to resist.

This scene is very similar to what Xiantian Yuegui said back then...

Immortal...

"Fairy?"

After a moment, Xiao Minghuang asked tentatively.

The Immortal Phoenix smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, I can't think of any other possibilities..."

Then, she continued, "The universe is huge, and the five directions and one world are small. I can see that your future may even surpass Zhu Yan. She stopped at the ultimate level of earthly immortal. Although her immortal energy is perfect, she has never been able to condense an immortal fetus and take that most crucial step."

"But you have the hope of taking that step and becoming a true immortal..."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's eyes flashed.

She knew what hope the Immortal Phoenix was talking about.

That is to step into the legendary realm of immortality!

Immortal!

"What exactly is the immortal way?"

Xiao Minghuang asked curiously.

"Is it Xiandao?"

The Immortal Phoenix murmured, and then let out a long sigh.

"I have never been there, how can I know?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she said, "However, I have also heard that above the earthly immortals is the real immortal realm, and the first step is called: celestial immortals!"
