anipulation, stealing away time...causing night to fall prematurely and thus saving the Great Shadow Demon!"Thinking this way, Fang Yu's eyes widened even further, and the tremor in his heart intensif...Never forget what happened back then.

Fang Yu has lived for too long, and there is always a hint of panic in his heart.

He was afraid that one day he would forget the Heavenly Dao Sect, forget the disciples within it, and forget everything he had experienced there.

And the shattered Heavenly Dao Sword, was just a scar.

Seeing it was like ripping open that scar again.

Although painful, it can deepen the impression.

Even to this day, Fang Yu can still clearly remember every piece of advice his master Dao Tian had spoken over four thousand years ago. He can also recall the appearance and laughter of each disciple within the Heavenly Path Sect back then.

This is why Fang Yu has not recast the Heavenly Dao Sword to this day.

"Let's not recast it, I think it's better to leave it as it is now." Fang Yu said. "Though it's a pity, I've grown accustomed to its broken state."

Fang Yu withdrew the Ruyi Green Lotus and stared blankly at the Heavenly Dao Sword, falling into deep thought.

……

Deep within the far north, inside a palace.

Red Lotus has already lost count of how long she's been walking.

And at this moment, before her, a change finally appeared.

Another door appeared before her.

These are two stone doors, appearing quite abruptly.

It just seemed to materialize out of thin air, appearing before the Red Lotus as if it were always there.

But the red lotus on her face, there was no surprise, instead a smile appeared, and she walked forward.

Before she even reached the stone gate, Honglian's hand hadn't moved yet, but the door in front of her slowly slid open.

"Whoosh..."

The light before her eyes intensified immediately.

A wave of intense heat washed over me.

However, the face of Crimson Lotus right now was incredibly excited.

Before her eyes, lay a brand new world.

Molten lava, a fiery yellow-red, flowed across the ground like rivers.

Ahead lies a structure resembling a volcano. However, looking up, one can see atop the volcano a colossal stone statue.

And the statue's form is that of a phoenix creature, its head thrown back and wings outstretched!

Due to the distance, it is impossible to make out the details of this statue.

But for Lianhong, this was enough.

This very space before you... was the most beloved dwelling place of the previous generation of Phoenix Clan beings!

As soon as she stepped into this space, Honglian felt like she was home.

A strong sense of belonging and comfort derived from her bloodline filled her with a sense of spaciousness.

This is completely different from the feelings I had back in Lingxu.

That place, Lingxu... Though it was also once a site of the Phoenix Clan, seeing such a vast Lingxu with only the guardian spirit, Zhuque Senior, and no other members of the Phoenix Clan left her feeling deeply saddened.

But now this space… is completely the very place where the Phoenix clan creatures used to live!

Volcanic magma covers the ground, with a scorching heat that exudes vitality.

Crimson Lotus raised her head and looked at the statue on top of the volcano in front of her. Her enormous wings behind her suddenly spread out, and she flew towards the sky.

The guidance from the depths of my bloodline is becoming increasingly powerful.

She knew that her bloodline guided her to the object she sought, atop this volcano etched with countless paths of lava from its peak.

She would see him soon.

"What is it" Honglian's heart was filled with excitement.

Initially, it was the guidance of her bloodline that led her to leave Beidu.

But at that time, the guidance of blood was still very vague, wasting her a long time, almost walking all over the entire summer... before she gradually figured out the direction.

Until recently, about half a month ago, she entered the Arctic.

At this moment, the bloodline guidance became instantly clear and powerful.

Then, she followed the indications all the way forward, until she crossed that boundary line and entered the deepest part. She continued onward for an unknown number of kilometers in the desolate depths.

Finally, she found this place.

Crimson lotus stood motionless for a moment, twin colossal wings blazing with crimson flames behind her.

Then, she flew toward the massive volcano ahead.

Along the way, she could see magma flowing slowly on the ground, and flame trees that seemed utterly out of place growing beside it.

The Flame Tree looks just like the trees in the human world, but its branches are burning with raging flames.

And the source of the flame comes from the energy provided by the tree trunk itself.

Molten rock flowing under the flame tree is like rivers in the human world.

This is the world of the Phoenix clan.

Everything is connected to fire.

The human world needs water to sustain life... so the Phoenix clan's world cannot be without fire.

The Red Lotus was very young and had never actually experienced the Phoenix Clan's former dwelling place firsthand.

Before she arrived here, all her knowledge about the Phoenix Clan from that year came from her parents.

But now, she finally has the chance to see the Phoenix Clan's world with her own eyes.

Although it is just a small world...it's enough already.

She was very happy.

"Whoosh..."

If it weren't for the increasingly strong guidance of blood, Honglian would have circled around the periphery of the volcano underground for a few laps first, savoring this rare time.

However, once she entered this space, she felt a surge of blood rushing through her body, her heart beating rapidly, and it was difficult for her to remain calm.

The phoenix statue on the volcano... seemed to be calling her.

Therefore, the wings behind Crimson Lotus flapped with incredible speed, her velocity reaching its peak.

She arrived at the base of the volcano in just two minutes, and then flew straight upwards.

This volcano is about one thousand five hundred meters high.

Due to her excitement, Crimson's speed increased more and more.

In less than half a minute, she flew to the top of the volcano.

She came directly to the statue, then landed firmly on the ground at the edge of the volcano's summit.

Hónglián raised her head and looked at the gigantic stone statue before her, her eyes glowing red.

At this moment, she felt the blood in her body begin to boil.

The previous fusion of the Phoenix's essence was activated at this moment, energy rippling.

Red Lotus looked at the stone statue before her, the flames on its back wings burning even more intensely.

She could be certain, the statue before her was the Phoenix God of that year!

The statue seemed to sense something, and suddenly it emitted a powerful light.

This radiance emanated from the peak of the volcano, spreading like sunlight and instantly enveloping the entire space.

Wherever light touched, magma boiled, and the flames on the Fire Trees down below the volcano... burned even fiercer.

And the red lotus closest to the statue opened its arms, feeling as if its entire body were floating, very comfortable.

At this moment, she was engulfed in the crimson flames.

Such high temperatures would be unbearable for any living creature.

But in the midst of flames, Crimson Lotus bathed as though in a gentle spring, feeling no pressure at all.

Her eyes fluttered shut, her thoughts drifting back to a distant past that felt uncannily familiar.

……

Fang Yu was rubbing the Tian Dao Sword when he suddenly felt a heat coming from his dantian.

He looked inward, and the Phoenix Source, which had always been intertwined with the Dragon Source in his Dantian, suddenly flew out on its own.

It danced at its original location, seeming quite excited.

At the same time, a strange sense of attraction welled up in Fang Yu's heart.

The direction of traction……

Fang Yu turned around and looked north.

"What's going on"

Fang Yu was at a loss, not quite understanding the anomaly of the Phoenix's Origin appearing.

Just then, a surge of feeling welled up within him once more.

This aura... Fang Yu knew who it belonged to.

Since he inexplicably fused with the Phoenix's essence last time, a certain connection... has developed between him and Crimson Lotus.

This kind of connection is usually imperceptible, but once it emerges, it's very apparent.

"Is this telling me to go north to find the Red Lotus" Fang Yu thought to himself, stunned.

In a short while, the pull became increasingly intense.

It was obvious that Fang Yu had guessed its meaning correctly.

Just tell Fang Yu to go north and find the Red Lotus.

"This direction... Could it be that Honglian is in the extreme north" Fang Yu looked at the sky in the north, his brow furrowed.

The sense of traction is still intensifying, and the heat in the dantian area is very intense.

Judging from Xiaojin's movements, she seems quite eager.

Anyway, I don't have anything else to deal with right now, so I might as well go.

Fang Yu put away the Heavenly Dao Sword, raised his right hand, and directly opened a portal leading to the North Pole.

He wasn't sure of Crimson Lotus's exact location, but he could find it by following the connection he had with her. It wouldn't be difficult.

After the portal opened, Fang Yu didn't think too much and stepped straight in.eror's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately wanted to dodge!"Click!"But when he wanted to move, he found himself bound by an incredibly powerful force.A square cage materialized around him, center...
