Chapter 236: Phoenix Remains, Reborn From the Ashes

The ranking competition will be held after leaving the Phoenix Pond. At that time, the cultivators who were eliminated before can challenge Wu Yi and other victorious people, regardless of whether they are from the Phoenix Clan or not. That is when the real genius competition will take place, and the ranking will change greatly.

What happened next had little to do with Wu Yi. He simply practiced on the formation platform. Outsiders only thought that he had lost too much mental energy in the previous battles and was recovering at this time, so they did not disturb him.

One day, two days, three days, time passed slowly, and the competition inside the Phoenix Pond Forest also came to an end.

When the golden-winged eagle called out his name, Wu Yi slowly opened his eyes and stood up. It was time to enter the Phoenix Pond.

"Little Young Master, congratulations." Zijingyi came from afar, wearing a water-patterned green grass dress, dry and generous, with a spring breeze on her face, calling Wu Yi intimately, but her intention to win over Wu Yi did not change, and she also got a place to enter the Phoenix Pond.

Originally, she was not qualified to get this quota with her cultivation, but Wu Yi gave her a drop of the demon king's blood essence, which aroused the phoenix blood in her body. Her strength, which was already on the verge of a breakthrough, improved by leaps and bounds. Even so, after rounds of head-to-head battles, she was exhausted and far from being as relaxed as Wu Yi's victory. She was very lucky.

Wu Yi bowed and said: "Daoyou was born in the Phoenix Clan, and the benefits you got must be greater than mine. I should congratulate you."

"That's not certain. The Phoenix Pond contains the meaning of the Phoenix's Nirvana. It has transcended the race and entered the most subtle and wonderful realm of Taoism," Zijingyi said here with a serious face. Wu Yi also listened carefully. From Zijingyi's words, it seems that the Phoenix in Nirvana has already understood the beginning and become a fairy beast, so he can't help but pay attention.

But Zijingyi said halfway, then changed her tone and covered her face and said: "Young man is a genius, he will definitely be favored by the ancestors, don't abandon me when the time comes."

"Daoyou are joking." Wu Yi responded lightly, without any idea of ​​furthering the ambiguity. A woman like Zijingyi, who is good at dancing and slick, must be a person with a strong desire for control. There is no need for me to ask for trouble. Now she can look up to me because I am useful to her. It is too difficult to make such a woman move.

Hearing Wu Yi's cold answer, Zijingyi snorted and said: "Daoyou is so boring." She turned aside and pretended to ignore him.

Zijingyi, who thought Wu Yi would coax her with good words, waited for a long time but did not see Wu Yi coming. She turned her head and saw Wu Yi and Baiyun talking and laughing, where was the intention to comfort her? She stomped her feet and ran away. She felt frustrated with Wu Yi.

Bai Yunqi also got the opportunity to enter the Phoenix Pond. Since he found out that he had comprehended the Dao Yun, Wu Yi knew that Bai Yunqi had a great chance to enter the Phoenix Pond. In the end, it turned out to be true. In fact, if Wen Yu had not met him, he might have stood here.

Without giving Wu Yi and Bai Yunqi much time to talk, the Qingluan clan leader descended from the flying cloud, walked close to them, and said: "You all have come this far, and you are all outstanding figures, talented and brilliant."

However, the Qingluan clan leader immediately changed his tone and said sternly: "But, you must remember to do what you can. The Phoenix Pond is full of spiritual energy. If you force it, you will be in danger of your life. Remember, remember."

Wu Yi understood that these words were actually said to them, the outsiders. After all, Bai Yunqi and others were born in the Phoenix Clan and had known these secrets for a long time, unlike them who had just arrived and knew nothing.

The Qingluan clan leader gave a few more words of care, all of which were words of love, and Wu Yi and others listened very carefully.

A quarter of an hour later, the Qingluan clan leader breathed a sigh of relief. With the presence of Yuanying Zhenren disciple Wu Yi and the Ninth Prince of the Water Clan, he had no choice but to explain in detail, saying: "Let's do this. The Phoenix Pond can be opened for three days at a time. After three days, there will be a great force to expel you. You cannot resist the great force." At the end, the Qingluan clan leader did not forget to remind him, which was also difficult for him.

Wu Yi and others all nodded in agreement.

The Qingluan clan leader took a five-color token from his waist. The front was painted with a phoenix, spreading its wings and about to fly, and the back was painted with the five blood descendants left by the phoenix, representing the five major phoenix clans. This is the Phoenix Pond Lin Lin Lord token, but its real use or greatest use is to open the Phoenix Pond.

The leader of the Qingluan tribe chanted an unknown formula and spell. The token slowly sank into the ground. One after another clear and crisp cry appeared from the ground. It was extremely pious and respectful. It rang for 9,999 times before the phoenix's appearance appeared. Half of the sky was dyed red, covering more than a thousand miles.

Where the token sank, a cave that could only accommodate one person slowly emerged. Wu Yi and others bid farewell to the leader of the Qingluan tribe and entered one by one.

The cave seemed to lead directly to the lava in the center of the earth. As soon as he entered, Wu Yi felt extremely hot, but what made Wu Yi even more surprised was that the mysterious light of spiritual energy surged out, and it could not block the heat even if it covered his body. This fiery meaning contained the true meaning of the great way, which directly acted on the mind and had no place to hide. It was very strange.

The eyes were red. As the leader of the Qingluan tribe said, the spiritual energy was extremely rich and pure, almost like the vitality.

Most of the spiritual energy that cultivators take in and out of the outside world contains impurities, and needs to be refined and purified before it can be refined into the Dantian. Even the best scriptures cannot completely refine the impurities. Impurities accumulate in the body and become a bottleneck, hindering the cultivator's progress. This is why practicing high-level skills can make rapid progress, while practicing low-level skills is like an old cow pulling a broken cart.

And Yuanqi refers to pure spiritual energy without impurities. Daoism generally uses Yuanqi arrays to refine it. After purification and solidification, it becomes the spiritual currency that cultivators circulate on a daily basis.

It is worth mentioning that the real vitality coins are almost never used for circulation. They are collected by monks for cultivation or array refining. Those circulating spiritual coins are impurities, that is, the so-called bad money drives out good money.

Bathing in the vitality, Wu Yi's spirit is relaxed, every pore is fully opened, breathing in the vitality here, feeling extremely comfortable, like bathing in a hot spring.

"Go forward, it's just some spiritual energy, can't you walk?" The black beetle in the bead sensed the magic of this place and suddenly extended its consciousness, but seeing Wu Yi like this, it couldn't help but speak, and belittled Wu Yi completely.

Being poured a basin of cold water by the black beetle, Wu Yi knew that the black beetle must have sensed something, otherwise it would not come out to talk to him, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's inside?"

"Go in first." The black beetle's urging voice came.

"I heard that there is a phoenix's body before Nirvana in there. How can I resist its pressure?" Wu Yi was not making up stories. The leader of the Qingluan tribe said it himself, asking them to move forward according to their ability.

"It is because of the phoenix's body that you want to go in. Maybe you can understand the meaning of Nirvana and light up the fire pillar."

Wu Yi thought to himself: I am afraid that the last sentence is the real thought of the black beetle. However, lighting up the avenue pillar in the bead is also a good thing for Wu Yi himself. He did not refute and walked towards the most blazing direction.

Since entering the cave, Wu Yi found that the magnetic force here is very strong. As a result, he lost his sense of direction. Even the Taiyi Divine Numbers could not be calculated here, which was considered useless. Other people who came in before and after were also missing. In short, this place exuded a sense of weirdness.

The ground was like iron, the air was like a gossamer, the energy in front was solidified like a wall, it was difficult for spiritual consciousness to penetrate, the visibility was less than three feet, like a blind person, but fortunately the road was flat and there were no corners. In such an environment, the mental pressure was not ordinary, and Wu Yi needed to spend much more energy than the outside world every step forward.

The burning feeling became stronger and stronger, he could not remember how long he had not sweated, but here, his sweat was like free, flowing down.

Wu Yi calculated the time he spent according to the flow of spiritual energy in his body. He had walked for almost three hours on the long road, and there seemed to be no sign of the end.

What Wu Yi did not know was that since he set out to find the true body of the phoenix, the primordial seed hidden in his body appeared above his head to resist the pressure of the phoenix for him.

The Taichu Seed seemed to have an instinct, and had the idea of ​​breathing in and out the vital energy, but it was not allowed to be used by Wu Yi. Even if the vital energy entered, it would disperse like water. Only when Wu Yi practiced the Yiqi Gate Sutra could the Taichu Seed be truly used by him. At this time, Wu Yi could not even find where the Taichu Seed was.

If you don't get the right way, what does it matter if you have a high aptitude?

Six hours, nine hours, twelve hours, a day has passed. Wu Yi's time to stay in Fengchi was not long, and he spent one-third of it on the road alone.

However, at this time, Wu Yi finally saw a ray of light. He faintly heard the cry of the phoenix bird, which was the same as the sound heard from the outside world. Wu Yi believed that he had not heard it wrong, and quickened his pace. After walking more than a thousand steps, the thick fog in front of him gradually dissipated, and an extremely spectacular scene appeared in front of him.

A huge pool, with no end in sight, looks like a sea of ​​fire, with magma surging and boiling bubbles breaking from time to time, falling to the ground close to the border, making a sizzling sound, and the ground, as solid as gold and iron, has been eroded into pits. Looking from afar, Wu Yi feels that with his current cultivation, he will definitely die.

In the center of the sea of ​​fire, a huge phoenix body lies in it, with a unicorn in front and a deer in the back, a snake head and a fish tail, a dragon pattern on the back of a turtle, a swallow jaw and a chicken beak, a standard appearance of a mythical beast, and a body of Tao. It is the first phoenix in the Azure Realm, a natural mythical beast, born with a golden elixir, and comprehended the rhyme of Tao. If it weren't for the low origin of the Azure Realm, it would be enough to push it to the realm of Taichu.

It is the first ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, and it is not comparable to the descendants of the remaining bloodline. Even if it is a body, it exudes a heavy pressure. After watching it for a long time, Wu Yi even wants to surrender.

"What about now?" Wu Yi transmitted his voice into the bead, but he did not get a response. Just when he was about to enter the bead, the black beetle's reply came late.

"Unleash your Tao rhyme, comprehend the phoenix's remaining rhyme, and do not try to touch the phoenix's body, otherwise you will die."

Wu Yi carefully displayed the Tao rhyme and surrounded his body, but he never expected that his action was like a drop of water dripping from boiling oil, causing a huge change. The magma actually surged like a wave and rolled towards Wu Yi.

The magma seemed to have spirituality, dividing and changing, turning into fire spirits, tigers and leopards, birds, and so on.

Wu Yi had not expected to encounter such a dangerous situation, but now that things had come to this, he could not give up halfway. He maintained his Dao rhyme and used his True Light to resist, but the magma continued to flow, like a vast ocean. In just a few breaths, Wu Yi's Xuan Guang, which had not been consumed much in the battle for a long time, was exhausted. He had no choice but to use the Liuli Jade Light on his body to support it.

"Nirvana, rebirth from the fire." The black beetle shouted, revealing the secret.

But facing this murderous flame, if he failed, wouldn't he die and his Dao disappear. Wu Yi fell into deep thought.

The sea of ​​fire changed suddenly, shaking the entire Phoenix Pond, but when the aftermath was transmitted to the outside, it was already very weak, and those outside did not sense much at all.

And a thousand steps away from the sea of ​​fire, there was a monk wearing a flat crown and a four-clawed golden dragon robe. He was the ninth prince of the water tribe.

He held a jade seal in his hand, and a dragon loomed above his head, roaring. He resisted the pressure from all around and moved forward with difficulty. At this time, he sensed this movement and knew that someone might have got there first, so he could not help but speed up and walked towards the remains of the phoenix.
