Chapter 1241: Chapter 442: On How to Raise a Big Banner [Third Update]_2

“The remnant soul of Kunpeng fought desperately and refined this innate divine demon, and then he found a path of devouring, beginning to devour his way through the Chaos Sea. His current strength is far more formidable than in ancient times.

“Moreover, Kunpeng has found a way to influence other innate divine demons, transforming them into chaotic Dao Bodies and making them serve him.

“I’m not entirely clear on how he did this, but if Kunpeng continues, he only has two outcomes.”

Li Ping’an blinked: “Either become a true innate divine demon or collapse by himself?”

“Indeed,” Hongjun squinted with a smile, “You fellow, although somewhat annoying, your perception is truly admirable.”

Li Ping’an looked enlightened: “So Kunpeng is currently attacking the Phoenix Clan, not only to avenge the abandonment from years ago but also to acquire the Phoenix’s Nirvana Secret Technique?”

“You’ve got half right.”

Hongjun sighed:

“No wonder that fellow insisted on accepting you as his disciple.”

“Ancestral Master, what about the other half?”

“The third reason is for the Undying Volcano,” Hongjun sighed, “The Undying Volcano stems from Pangu’s wrath. If the volcano erupts, the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth will be half-toppled. Kunpeng wants to use this as leverage, and also for the corpse of the Primordial Phoenix. Kunpeng’s soul desires to refine the body of the Primordial Phoenix.”

Li Ping’an:…

Good heavens, Kunpeng is indeed the demonic master.

These things truly dare to be imagined.

The dream also begins with the greatest ambitions.

Hongjun shook his head slightly, speaking slowly: “What Kunpeng does not know is that although the Primordial Phoenix is dead, it is not dead. Nirvana itself is a strange divine skill, and once he reaches the Undying Volcano, he awaits the Primordial Phoenix’s strike.”

Li Ping’an asked: “Ancestral Master, when can the disciple go to support the Phoenix Clan?”

“Do you also want to join the excitement at the Undying Volcano?”

Hongjun smiled ambiguously:

“I notice that your current desire for personal strength far exceeds before. Could it be you’ve realized that you wish to reach the Semi-Saint realm soon and pursue the path of transcendence?”

Li Ping’an chuckled awkwardly: “Disciple does not have such distant plans, currently just aiming to be a qualified Heavenly Emperor and properly manage the Heavenly Court.”

Hongjun asked: “You’ve interacted with your Transcender Teacher for some years now; how do you view him currently?”

“Disciple has no idea how to respond at the moment.”

Li Ping’an sighed:

“But ultimately, disciple is unwilling to admit that this world is beyond saving.

“Even if only to try, to prolong this world by a day, ten days, disciple ought to do it.

“This world gave me a place to advance, and reaching the position of Heavenly Emperor, I must at least strive, unable to achieve… then consider taking my father, master, and Tao partner in transcendence.”

Hongjun’s expression instantly became indescribable.

Achieving transcendence alone is fraught with difficulties, and taking father and Tao partner?

Why doesn’t this boy consider taking his little maid along too?

“Go!”

Hongjun waved his hand irritably: “I didn’t attract those strong forces from the Chaos Sea!”

“Thank you, Ancestral Master, for saving the disciple’s life!”

Li Ping’an gave a deep Dao bow, looked up and asked another question:

“Ancestral Master, Fuxi Shi ventured deep into the Chaos Sea and has been without news for a long time. Is he still alive?”

Hongjun spoke slowly: “Alive.”

“Then do you know where Fuxi Shi is?”

“I know,” Hongjun squinted with a smile, “That’s not something you should ask. Go back, knowing too much is not good; don’t you want to try your luck at the Undying Volcano? At this time, Kong Xuan is struggling to hold on; he has to make choices.”

Li Ping’an laughed: “Disciple will go right away! Definitely won’t fail the Ancestral Master’s expectations, swearing to protect the Undying Volcano with my life!”

Hongjun waved his hand to send Li Ping’an out of Zixiao Palace.

Afterward, Hongjun was somewhat dazed.

“What did this fellow just say? Did I instruct him to protect the Undying Volcano? What a slippery one! Daring to trick me!”

Outside Zixiao Palace.

Li Ping’an grabbed Guiling and jumped onto the back of the Roc Bird, still not forgetting to stuff a few bottles of Elixir Pills given by the Great Mage to the Roc Bird.

Guiling asked: “Where are we going?”

“Of course, to return with support!”

Li Ping’an said seriously:

“The Ancestral Master Hongjun has commanded, Kunpeng intends to lay his hands on the Undying Volcano, we must quickly provide assistance!”

Guiling instantly perked up.

Upon hearing this, the Roc Bird became anxious, ignored its injuries, and propelled with rapid speed toward the Phoenix Clan’s secret realm.

And there, as Hongjun said, Kong Xuan has reached the moment of decision.

…

‘Brother, His Majesty and the Heavenly Emperor have taught me many principles, making me understand this world more clearly, especially the words His Majesty once said: if you lose the land while sparing people, both the land and people will be lost, which is particularly profound.’

Kong Xuan’s ears kept replaying the words the Roc Bird had said.

There was much struggle in his eyes.

If he moved this Five-Colored Divine Light, Kunpeng would certainly find the path to the Undying Volcano.

But now, he was at the end of his strength, countless Chaos Creatures rushing from all directions, leaving him almost unable to resist.

Previously, Kong Xuan also sensed the violent fluctuations of the Chaos Sea.

He did not know what that signified, and at this moment, the situation in his eyes had reached an irreparable point.

The experts from the Taoist Sect who came to support him could not handle the numerous Innate Gods and Demons;

Kong Xuan did not blame them for not fighting desperately.

To come to support now had already given the Phoenix Clan a great favor, and the fact that the Heavenly Emperor was willing to sacrifice himself to this extent already surprised him quite a bit.

If he continued to hold on, he and all the men, women, old, and young of these Phoenix Clan vassal races would fall here.

The Undying Volcano was not without arrangements, as the Phoenix Clan had constructed many labyrinth mechanisms there, and within the Undying Volcano was his mother’s body…

Kong Xuan suddenly stood up, and the Five-Colored Divine Light burst into a brilliant glow!

He suddenly stepped back half a step, his eyes becoming incredibly firm, and Peacock feathers erupted behind him, instantly enveloping hundreds of figures.

A green peacock appeared within the Five-Colored Divine Light!

The aggressively attacking Calamity Sovereign suddenly received a transmission from Kunpeng, gestured to his subordinates, and retreated with dozens of fierce demons.

The peacock let out a high-pitched cry, charging directly forward, hundreds of figures merging into the feathers behind it and disappearing, while the Five-Colored Divine Light contracted vigorously, wrapping towards the peacock.

A rainbow bridge suddenly exploded!

Large swathes of Chaos Creatures evaporated instantly, and several Innate Gods and Demons were blown far away.

The green peacock appeared at the end of the rainbow bridge, blood crying from its mouth, crashing into the Chaos Sea.

A large number of Innate Gods and Demons went to pursuit.

Bang!

The drums sounded again, and these more than thirty Innate Gods and Demons immediately turned around, fleeing in all directions of the Chaos Sea.

Calamity Sovereign also received the transmission, giving his dozens of fierce demons the command to retreat.

But who was the Calamity Sovereign?

The cleverest in the Lingshan has ten measures, and Calamity Sovereign took eight!

He pretended to retreat, but actually observed secretly, watching as a wisp of black smoke flashed into disappearance at the place where Kong Xuan had originally meditated.

Within the Chaos Sea, with sizes unknown and boundaries indistinct, there must certainly be some entrance here.

Now all the Innate Gods and Demons began to flee, and a few experts from the Taoist Sect were pursuing two Innate Gods and Demons, aiming to claim them as personal trophies, paying no attention to the surroundings for now.

The corner of Calamity Sovereign’s mouth teased into a sinister smile, quietly approaching the spot where the black smoke disappeared.

The Primordial Spirit restriction is truly a good thing.

Kunpeng could control his life and death, and he could also sense where exactly the part of his Primordial Spirit controlled by Kunpeng was located…

Suddenly, Calamity Sovereign’s eyelids twitched violently, and he quickly paused, concealing himself within the Chaotic Aura.

A bowl-sized hole appeared ahead in the Chaotic Aura, and out climbed a slightly chubby Daoist.

Duobao!

Senior Brother of the Jie Sect!

Taoist Duobao looked left, right, wrinkled his nose, raised his eyebrows, and soon smiled with squinting eyes, drawing a small circle at the place where the black smoke vanished.

Beneath the circle appeared a thumb-sized hole, within which a seven-colored divine light manifested.

Taoist Duobao’s form spun and directly entered the breach, while also transmitting a message to Zhao Gongming, instructing him to guard this place.

Calamity Sovereign rubbed his nose, eyes carrying excitement, his form shrinking to the size of a mosquito, closely following into the breach, conveniently bringing a wisp of Chaotic Aura to seal the entrance.

As to where the path led, Calamity Sovereign was unconcerned.

About an hour later, the area returned to calm, and the battle had also subsided.

Zhao Gongming and his group reached the spot, searched everywhere but found nothing unusual, not even detecting the tiny hole left by Duobao.

Kong Xuan, who had previously fled, had already settled the Phoenix Clan’s vassal races, returned with a dozen warriors, his expression quite solemn.

Kong Xuan looked at this crowd of Immortals, hesitating over whether to reveal the secret of the Phoenix Clan, especially since Kunpeng had already intruded here…

Chirp!

The Roc Bird’s call resonated along the ripples of the Great Dao.

Li Ping’an and Guiling returned, shouting from afar:

“Kunpeng’s target is the Undying Volcano! The Ancestral Master Hongjun commands, guard the Undying Volcano, protect the safety of heaven and earth!”
