Two days later.

Gu Chenfeng and Ice Phoenix finally arrived at the Celestial Phoenix Race's territory.

The Celestial Phoenix Race's territory was outside the Immortal Realm.

"We're here." Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "The mountain range ahead is where the Celestial Phoenix clansmen of weaker Cultivation reside and cultivate, but the true Celestial Phoenix territory lies within an Independent Space."

The place where the Celestial Phoenix Race resided was shrouded in clouds and mist, auspicious light streaming in thousands of strands. A magnificent palace stood tall amidst the clouds, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

As soon as Gu Chenfeng and Ice Phoenix appeared, they immediately drew the attention of the Celestial Phoenix clansmen.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Six Celestial Phoenix clansmen flickered over.

One of them glanced at Ice Phoenix, a bit surprised. "A Phoenix?"

Another clansman said arrogantly, "To think we'd run into another Phoenix in the Immortal Realm. Our Celestial Phoenix Race possesses noble bloodlines; ordinary Phoenixes have no right to set foot in our Celestial Phoenix territory."

Hearing these words, a trace of anger surged in Ice Phoenix's heart, but she forcefully suppressed it and did not erupt. She merely followed silently behind Gu Chenfeng.

A tall and burly Celestial Phoenix clansman took a step forward, looking at Gu Chenfeng and Ice Phoenix with a hostile gaze, shouting loudly, "This is the Celestial Phoenix Race's territory, idlers are not allowed to approach! You two, leave at once!"

Gu Chenfeng's expression remained calm. Unhurriedly, he said, "We came this time to let her enter the Celestial Phoenix Race's Cultivation Holy Land to enhance her Bloodline Power. I have already spoken with your Eld..."

Before Gu Chenfeng could finish, the tall clansman let out a disdainful cold laugh. "Her? She thinks she's fit to enter our Celestial Phoenix Race's Cultivation Holy Land? Brat, is your brain flooded with water?"

"Our Celestial Phoenix Race is one of the Ancient Races. She isn't even one of our clansmen. She has no qualification to step into the Celestial Phoenix Race. You two, get lost!"

Gu Chenfeng still wanted to say something, but the tall clansman said impatiently, "Enough nonsense! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand, ready to blast Gu Chenfeng and Ice Phoenix away.

A glint of cold light flashed in Gu Chenfeng's eyes. In an instant, a terrifying aura pressure erupted from his body. He said coldly, "Try laying a hand on us."

The six Celestial Phoenix clansmen were all shaken back dozens of meters by this pressure, their expressions turning extremely ugly.

The leading clansman shouted angrily at Gu Chenfeng, "You little bastard! You've got some nerve! You dare make a move against my Celestial Phoenix Race? You're courting death!"

"Smack!"

Gu Chenfeng lashed out with a sudden air-borne slap. With a crisp snap, the leading clansman was sent flying.

"You… you dare hit me!" the leader roared in fury, then bellowed, "Grand Commander! A human is forcing his way into the Celestial Phoenix territory!"

Before long.

"Whoosh!"

The Celestial Phoenix Race's Grand Commander flickered into view, his body emanating an extremely powerful aura.

This powerful aura had already reached the Middle Stage Immortal Monarch level.

"What's going on? Why such commotion?" the Grand Commander asked sternly, his gaze sweeping over Gu Chenfeng and Ice Phoenix.

The leading clansman covered his face and said respectfully, "Grand Commander, these two came from who-knows-where and insist on bringing this Phoenix into the Cultivation Holy Land. I told them to get lost, but this brat hit me."

The Grand Commander frowned and asked, "Who are you people?"

Gu Chenfeng replied unhurriedly, "I have already sent someone to inform your clan's Elders about this. You can go back and..."

Before Gu Chenfeng could finish, the Grand Commander directly cut him off, saying indifferently, "This Commander is in charge of all affairs within the territory. No one has ever set foot in the Celestial Phoenix territory. Seeing that you are but a junior, this Commander won't hold it against you. You may leave."

"Insolence!" Ice Phoenix could no longer endure and shouted angrily, "How dare you..."

"Noisy!" the Grand Commander snapped coldly. A formidable aura erupted as he was about to suppress Ice Phoenix.

"Get lost!" Gu Chenfeng roared, Ancient Divine Power erupting. He directly shook the Grand Commander so hard that blood sprayed from his mouth, his body shooting out like a cannonball.

"What?" The Grand Commander's face changed drastically. He looked at Gu Chenfeng in extreme terror, unable to believe it. "How is this possible? What is this aura? This brat actually injured this Commander by aura alone!"

"Grand Commander!" The six clansmen turned pale with fright, utterly terrified.

They simply couldn't believe that a junior's strength could be so terrifying.

The Grand Commander forcibly steadied himself, cast a frightened glance at Gu Chenfeng, then formed a Sword Point to transmit a message in a low report: "Reporting to the Great Elder, someone is forcing their way into our clan's territory."

Within the Independent Space.

An old man with hair and beard all white heard the Grand Commander's sound transmission, and his old face suddenly changed.

This white-haired old man was precisely the Celestial Phoenix Race's Great Elder, Feng Tianxuan.

"This is bad!" Feng Tianxuan's figure immediately flickered and vanished.

High above the territory.

The Grand Commander glared viciously at Gu Chenfeng, saying coldly, "Brat, you dare make a move in the Celestial Phoenix territory? Don't even think about leaving alive today!"

Just then.

A thunderous voice filled with majesty rang out: "Silence!"

An extremely terrifying pressure instantly suppressed the Grand Commander and the six clansmen, directly crushing them down into the mountain range below.

"Puff, puff, puff!"

The Grand Commander and the six clansmen all spat blood one after another, scared out of their wits.

They had no idea what was happening.

"An Immortal Venerable expert!" Ice Phoenix's pretty face changed, and she immediately assumed a battle stance.

"No need to worry." Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly.

The next second.

Feng Tianxuan flickered into view. He looked at Gu Chenfeng, then at Ice Phoenix, and then turned to furiously berate the Grand Commander, "You all have some nerve!"

The Grand Commander forcibly endured the terrifying pressure and asked with difficulty, "G–Great Elder, wh–what have we done wrong?"

"They are honored guests of the Celestial Phoenix Race, and you actually dared to offend them like this. Your crimes are unforgivable! This Elder will cripple you today!" Feng Tianxuan roared savagely, his withered old hand gathering a dreadful power.

The Grand Commander and the six clansmen were scared out of their souls, panicking as they begged for mercy, "Great Elder, spare us! They are not of the Celestial Phoenix Race, we have never seen them before, and no one told us anything. We didn't know they were honored guests of our clan."

"That is no excuse for you to attack! You've utterly disgraced the Celestial Phoenix Race!" Feng Tianxuan rebuked angrily, then slammed his palm down viciously.

But in that very instant.

A hand suddenly clamped down on Feng Tianxuan's wrist. A domineering, terrifying force forcibly suppressed Feng Tianxuan's Bloodline Power.

"Divine Power!" Feng Tianxuan's old face changed dramatically.

"H–he can actually suppress the Great Elder's power!" The Grand Commander's eyes bulged as he looked at Gu Chenfeng in shocked terror.

"Let it go." Gu Chenfeng slowly released his grip and said calmly, "Those who don't know are not guilty. It's just a small matter; there is no need to make such a big fuss. Besides, they truly didn't know my identity."

The Great Elder hurriedly cupped his fists respectfully. "Ancient Venerable Gu speaks rightly."

"What?" The Grand Commander's face changed drastically, incomparably horrified. "H–he is an Ancient Venerable?"
