"It seems that obtaining this Phoenix Emperor Heritage is truly no easy task."

Beneath the Cangmu, two figures sat cross-legged.

Having learned many secrets about the Phoenix Nest and the Phoenix Emperor Heritage from the Peacock, Qi Xiu felt alarmed.

The two clans of Dragon and Phoenix are often compared in the world.

But the Phoenix Clan only has two members per generation, whether they are young and not yet mature, or old and not yet extinct.

At most, there are only four phoenixes in the world.

Therefore, once a member of the Phoenix Clan reaches maturity, their strength is far greater than that of a typical True Dragon.

Among them are several generations of extremely formidable phoenixes, whose strength rivals that of the Dragon King of the True Dragon Clan.

The Phoenix Emperor who left a legacy in this Phoenix Nest, though not as top-tier as some elders in the clan.

Still, it is of top-tier existence.

Thus, the legacy he left is of high quality, and the safeguards and prohibitions guarding it are extremely dangerous.

"What do you think? The legacy left by my adoptive father has earth-shaking power; it's not just for a minor True Monarch of the Dao Body.

Even if a Primordial Spirit True Honor gains it, they can transform profoundly and command unparalleled might.

It's really odd.

Outside the Phoenix Nest, there's clearly a Dao Concealing setup covering it.

This is the arrangement my adoptive father specifically placed after establishing his legacy.

The weaker one's power, the less they are affected.

The stronger one's power, the more influence they receive.

It is specifically aimed at the Primordial Spirit True Honors; theoretically, even if they're close at hand, the Primordial Spirit True Honor cannot discover it.

The appearance of these two Primordial Spirits is truly bizarre."

After reaching an initial agreement of cooperation with Qi Xiu, the Peacock Great Saint expressed some doubts in his mind.

Since he began his duties guarding this Phoenix Nest for over four thousand years.

During this time, various heroes have entered through fortune, sheer strength, or heavenly luck, numbering over a hundred.

Most of them were True Monarchs of the Dao Body, with a very few being Bloodstained cultivators.

None were Primordial Spirit True Honors.

After all, the Phoenix Emperor left this Phoenix Nest and set the Dao Concealing setup and Great Dao Divine Ban.

He specifically did not want this legacy to end up in the hands of a Primordial Spirit.

The various methods outside the Phoenix Nest are all to restrain the Primordial Spirit True Honors.

Thus, both the appearance of Song Baiyi and Moon Sea True Venerable was astonishing to him and the Golden-Winged Roc.

To prevent these two Primordial Spirit True Honors from succeeding.

The Peacock also instructed the Golden-Winged Roc to swiftly capture and expel them from the Phoenix Nest.

In the Phoenix Nest, there are iron rules left by the Phoenix Emperor.

Any beings can only enter once, after which, even a Primordial Spirit True Honor cannot enter again.

Even though he and the Golden-Winged Roc are the Guardians here.

They cannot kill the Primordial Spirit True Honors, even if these two are suppressed by the Great Dao Divine Ban.

The best method is to capture them and expel them, leaving them unable to enter the Phoenix Nest again.

"In my view, the mystery lies with that female True Honor."

Being a transmigrator himself, Qi Xiu knew very well that the Upper Protector was able to find this Phoenix Nest due to Moon Sea True Venerable's guidance.

Because their arrival in this ancient era was thanks to this True Venerable.

And Moon Sea True Venerable's grand scheme for coming to this era is aimed at the Phoenix Emperor Heritage, so she must have a method to break the Dao Concealing setup and enter the Phoenix Nest.

"Oh? How do you explain that?"

Though cooperation was reached, the Peacock Great Saint didn't trust Qi Xiu completely, and asked with scrutiny.

"The male True Honor is the city-guarding general of the nearby Evernight Ancient City, Song Baiyi the Upper Capital Protector of Great Tang.

The Immortal Ancient City is not far from here.

Song Baiyi has been stationed at Evernight Ancient City for nearly two hundred years, and has never discovered this place.

Yet, the female True Honor had only been here a short while, and together, they found this place.

Isn't the answer obvious?"

Casually shifting focus to Moon Sea True Venerable, Qi Xiu remained calm.

He neither framed nor exaggerated, only stating facts without worrying about the Peacock Great Saint detecting anything amiss.

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing Qi Xiu's words, the Peacock Great Saint's eyes glinted with fierce light.

If the Primordial Spirit True Honors enter the Phoenix Nest and take the Phoenix heritage, these Guardians may not have a good fate.

This would be a mortal disaster.

"Since that's the case, then we must act quickly, we..."

Before the Peacock Great Saint finished speaking, a sudden gust swept through, destroying the surrounding thousand-mile Forest Sea completely, and amidst the roaring storm, a tall, imposing figure strode forward.

"Peacock, something's happened."

As soon as he appeared, the Golden-Winged Roc opened his mouth and saw Qi Xiu opposite the Peacock Great Saint. Unaware that the two had already reached a collaboration, his golden eyes narrowed and his figure suddenly flashed violently.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Qi Xiu, with wings like golden longswords piercing through the void, a brutal and overpowering killing aura shattering the void, presenting a terrifying spectacle of heaven weeping blood and countless spirits lying dead.

"Wait!"

Before Qi Xiu could raise his hand to counterattack, the Peacock Great Saint took a step forward, blocking in front of him, with dazzling five-colored feathers soaring to the sky, shaking the heavens, and the Five Elements Domain unfolding with a roar, sweeping away all the feather swords that were slaughtering down.

"Peacock! You damned traitor?"

Seeing the Peacock Great Saint actually blocking him from attacking the Daoist, the Golden-Winged Roc was shocked, raising his hand to point at the Peacock, utterly bewildered.

"I defect your gourd head!"

Rolling his eyes, the Peacock Great Saint suppressed the urge to give this foolish brother two big slaps, pulling him aside and explaining all the cooperation affairs with Qi Xiu.

"Cooperation? Him?"

Hearing what his brother said, although rebellious, the Golden-Winged Roc's yearning for freedom was even greater than the Peacock's.

For other beings, the Phoenix Nest world was already very vast.

But for the Golden-Winged Roc, the fastest in the world, it was suffocating to death!

If it weren't for being a Guardian, unable to betray the mission passed down in his bloodline, he would have broken this cage and flown away long ago when he reached adulthood.

"Can he do it?"

Concerning freedom, the Golden-Winged Roc rarely did not show his rebellious nature, but instead turned his head suspiciously to glance at Qi Xiu.

This Daoist looked unremarkable.

"The Holder of the True Dragon Inheritance, if he fights with all his strength, you might not be his match."

After a brief confrontation with Qi Xiu, the Peacock had already seen some of this True Dragon Daoist's strength.

Judging from his calm demeanor when facing my Five Elements Domain, his methods must be very profound.

Combined with the position of the True Dragon Clan as Lords of Ten Thousand Realms and the main characters of Heaven and Earth.

This Daoist's strength is indeed unfathomable.

At least he wasn't entirely sure he could defeat him.

"I can't beat him, are you sure?" Upon hearing the Peacock say he couldn't beat Qi Xiu, the Golden-Winged Roc's golden feather on the top of his head suddenly stood up, his eyes ablaze with fighting spirit, looking at Qi Xiu with a gaze eager to try.

"Behave! Now is not the time for you to be reckless."

Being brothers for thousands of years, when the Golden-Winged Roc raised his rump, the Peacock Great Saint already knew what he intended to do, lifting a hand to knock on his forehead, sternly warning him not to mess around.

"Those two Primordial Spirit True Honors could discover the mystery of Phoenix Blood at any time. Once they find the opportunity to enter the Phoenix Nest and take away the foster father's legacy,

do you think any creature in the entire Phoenix Nest would survive?" the Peacock spoke solemnly.

The Phoenix Emperor Heritage is no trivial matter, for safety, once those two Primordial Spirit True Honors succeed, they would surely wipe out everything here to ensure no information leaks.

Without the suppression of the Great Dao Divine Ban, two Primordial Spirit True Honors could crush and drain every inch of the void here.

No matter how divine the two brothers were, they could not escape the methods of the Primordial Spirit True Honors.

"Oh right, I came to inform you that those two Primordial Spirit True Honors have a wooden bowl made from the Divine Tong Tree.

They seem to have long known the use of Phoenix Blood.

I reckon they are already collecting Phoenix Blood with that wooden bowl."

Reminded by the Peacock Great Saint, the Golden-Winged Roc remembered his urgent purpose of coming.

"A wooden bowl made from the Divine Tong Tree?

Damn!

They really came prepared!"

Upon hearing the four words "Divine Tong Tree," the Peacock Great Saint's eyes instantly burst with a captivating brilliance, his five-colored divine light dyed the void, brewing a startling massacre.

"What's happened?"

Sensing the Peacock Great Saint's sudden loss of composure, Qi Xiu also approached; it seemed the Golden-Winged Roc brought some news that was hard for the Peacock Divine Bird to accept.

"Those two Primordial Spirit True Honors carry a Divine Object, with this object, they can rapidly collect Phoenix Blood.

Time is pressing, come with me, we must not let them enter the Phoenix Nest first."

The news brought by the Golden-Winged Roc suddenly made the Peacock Great Saint feel an immense urgency, softly cried out, transforming into a divine light, supporting Qi Xiu, and flying toward a certain place.

"You go first, I'll go hold off those two True Honors!"

Slightly raising his head, the distinctive Golden-Winged Roc lifted his leg to head in the opposite direction, planning to intercept Song Baiyi and Moon Sea True Venerable, the two Primordial Spirits.

"Hold off your head! You're coming with me!"

Matter at stake, the Peacock Great Saint no longer indulged his rebellious brother, the five-colored divine light swept up like a ribbon, forcibly enveloping him and taking him away together.

...

"Collect!"

In a certain part of the Phoenix Nest Forest Sea, Moon Sea True Venerable held the wooden bowl made from the Divine Tong Tree, pointing at a snow-white creature with three heads, surrounded by white gold spiritual flame, a holy and noble Treasure Flame Spirit Heron.

As soon as the Spirit Heron screamed miserably, the three streams of Phoenix Blood flowing within its body were forcibly drawn away by the wooden bowl.

Without the sustenance of Phoenix Blood, the Treasure Flame Spirit Heron wailed and fell to the ground, and in moments turned into wisps of gray smoke and dissipated.

Watching the wooden bowl in which Phoenix Blood had accumulated to half, Moon Sea True Venerable's eyes were smiling, saying to Song Baiyi beside him:

"With this kind of accumulation, in just ten more days, we can gather enough Phoenix Blood to formally head to the Phoenix Nest."
