Chapter 144 The Undying Volcano
"Suppress!"
Feng Zichen manipulated a Dao incantation, drawing upon the earth's veins in the deep sea, connecting them to the twelve giant islands on the surface.
Rumble!
The earth's turbid energy surged forth, the essence of the twelve giant islands merging into one, forming a unified whole. A vast suppressive force swept outwards, engulfing all directions, forcefully suppressing the sea surface for tens of thousands of miles.
Instantly, the giant waves ceased, and the sea returned to calm.
Then, Feng Zichen took out the Chaos Pearl and pointed it at the newly formed Seven Luminaries Continent. The Chaos Pearl suddenly flew above the Seven Luminaries Continent, radiating a dazzling dark light.
Inside the Chaos Pearl, beneath the World Tree, where the seven-colored lake was located, a huge wave suddenly surged upwards, directly bursting out of the Chaos Pearl and reaching the outside world, transforming into a rain of seven-colored light that fell towards the Seven Luminaries Continent.
Rumble! White lightning flashed in Feng Zichen's hand, striking towards the Seven Luminaries Continent with his movements.
That wasn't the Myriad Manifestations Divine Thunder, but the Creation Divine Thunder deep within the Thunder Marsh, capable of creating countless things.
As one could see, under the influence of the seven-colored rain of light and the Creation Divine Thunder, the landscape of the Seven Luminaries Continent had drastically changed. The innate energy was even more concentrated, with numerous innate spiritual veins emerging. The mountains were more majestic and magnificent; the rivers were clearer, brimming with spiritual energy; spiritual herbs sprouted, covering the mountains and fields; the flowers, grasses, and trees seemed to possess sentience, absorbing and releasing innate energy…
Everything was developing in a positive direction.
"Phew! With this, the future of the Seven Luminaries Continent is promising, a viable path for humanity." Even with Feng Zichen's current strength, he was still somewhat out of breath after completing all this.
"This… what happened?"
"Why did the Seven Luminaries Continent change completely in the blink of an eye?"
As time and space resumed their flow, the Youyu Clan regained their senses, looking at the completely transformed Seven Luminaries Continent before them, and exclaimed in astonishment.
"Elder Youyu, there's no need to be surprised. This was my doing." Just then, Feng Zichen's voice came, explaining to the Youyu clan.
"Is that the clan leader?"
"I knew it! Why would a dragon expert suddenly punish those playful young dragons? It turns out it's you, clan leader." Muttering to himself, the Youyu clan member flew into the air.
Feng Zichen had come to the East Sea to handle personal matters, so apart from his three disciples, no one knew he had left the human race, including the Youyu clan member.
"Elder Youyu, I observe that resources in the Seven Luminaries Continent are scarce, and I imagine they are insufficient for everyone's needs."
"Therefore, I have re-refined it, strengthening its essence to provide a better cultivation environment for the clan members."
"Take a look and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with. Tell me before I leave, and I'll revise it for you."
With a smile, Feng Zichen said to the Youyu clan member who had come before him.
"Satisfied, extremely satisfied. The Seven Luminaries Continent is now a hundred times better than before. What could I possibly be dissatisfied with?"
"However," gazing at the twelve giant islands before him, the Youyu clan hesitated, "Now that there are twelve islands, isn't it a bit inappropriate to still call it the Seven Luminaries Continent?"
"It doesn't matter. Whether it's twelve giant islands or one hundred and twenty, this place will still be called the Seven Luminaries Continent."
Waving his hand, Feng Zichen explained, "The Seven Luminaries Continent has been called that for so many years; it's long been connected to the fate of the human race. It's not something that can be changed so easily."
"Moreover, the Seven Luminaries Continent is the first human power to emerge from the ancestral land, possessing epoch-making significance, and cannot be easily changed."
"The clan leader is right!"
Whether or not the name is changed, Youyu Clan doesn't really care. He just feels that, given the current situation of the Seven Luminaries Continent, it's somewhat unworthy of its name. However, since Feng Zichen's words make sense, he naturally won't insist.
"Since you are satisfied, then I will leave. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can go to the Water Dragon Palace to seek out the Water Dragon Lord. He is my friend and can provide you with some assistance!"
With that, Feng Zichen cupped his hands to Youyu Clan and left with Ao Xue.
…
"Ao Xue, I should go!"
After accompanying Ao Xue for another three years in the East Sea, Feng Zichen said to her.
"Okay, then be careful!" Ao Xue said after staring at him for a while.
"Don't worry, I'm going to visit the Ancestral Phoenix; nothing will happen!" With a smile, Feng Zichen's figure slowly disappeared, heading towards the southern part of the prehistoric world.
Since the end of the ancient era, the Phoenix Clan has lived in seclusion among the Southern Undying Volcanoes, a place where volcanoes abound and the primordial fire veins converge.
Before the Phoenix Clan arrived, this place was a great danger in the primordial world. The undying volcanoes erupted intermittently, causing the entire southern primordial world to be filled with innate fire evil energy, making countless creatures suffer unspeakably. It wasn't
until the Phoenix Clan arrived and used their innate power to suppress the Undying Volcanoes, regulate the primordial fire veins, and quell the innate fire evil energy that the southern primordial world was transformed into a sacred land of fire.
It is because of this great merit that the Phoenix Clan has enjoyed continuous good fortune since the ancient era and is known as an auspicious beast.
Just before entering the area of the Undying Volcanoes, Feng Zichen emerged from the void, slowed down, and flew at a low altitude towards the center of the Undying Volcanoes.
Flying directly into the Undying Volcanoes from high altitude would inevitably be seen as disrespectful to the Phoenix Clan. Even if the Ancestral Phoenix wouldn't mind, her clansmen might not.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Feng Zichen decided to be cautious. Low-altitude flight was nothing to him anyway. He was always willing to avoid trouble with a simple gesture.
The closer he got to the center of the Undying Volcano, the higher the surrounding temperature became. Waves of heat swept over him, causing Feng Zichen to frown.
He estimated that even an ordinary Golden Immortal would be unable to withstand this heat. If they continued for several more days, even an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal would
likely be unable to endure it. "Truly worthy of being called the spirits of fire, the Phoenix Clan's talent for fire is unparalleled in the primordial world, except perhaps by the Wu Clan of the Zhu Rong tribe." The terrifying environment of the Undying Volcano left Feng Zichen speechless.
"Screech! Screech..."
Not long after he entered, he heard the cries of birds, some sharp, some melodious—these were rare primordial divine birds appearing one after another before his eyes.
There is a divine bird resembling a crane, but with only one leg, a blue body with red spots, and a white beak—this is the Bifang divine bird, and strange fires appear wherever it passes.
There is another divine bird resembling a peacock, but about the size of a chicken, with magnificent plumage and many reddish-yellow and white eye-like markings on its wings—this is the Qingluan divine bird.
In addition, there is the Chongming bird, born with double pupils, the Xuan bird, resembling a wild goose, and so on. Most of the named divine birds of the primordial world can be found here.
After all, the phoenix is the leader of the avian lineage, so it is not surprising that so many divine birds gather here. Just as the goal of the scaled-armor lineage is to transform into a dragon, the goal of the avian lineage is to transform into a phoenix.
