The Phoenix Clan's estate was shrouded in a huge formation. Normally, it would be difficult for people to notice the Phoenix Clan's estate even if they were in close proximity.
The Phoenix Clan's estate was located in the mountains. It was like a paradise. Although it was isolated, it was surrounded by mountains, lakes, plants, and trees that formed a picturesque scene.
However, that was just part of the Phoenix Clan's estate. At the west of the estate, the atmosphere was scorching hot. The temperature was terrifyingly high. If an ordinary person was here, it would not take long before that person was cooked.
The deeper one went in, the higher the temperature was.
In the deepest part of the west of the Phoenix Clan's estate, there was a huge altar. In the middle of the altar, there was a huge statue. If Duan Ling Tian was here, he would be shocked if he saw the statue.
There was a passage in an ancient text, The Classic of Mountains and Seas, on earth that said, 'There was a type of bird on earth. It looks a little like a chicken but it has five colors on its feathers. It's called a Feng Huang.' Feng Huang was the earliest name for a Phoenix. It was also the king of all birds on earth. Generally, Fengs were males, and Huangs were females. They were collectively known as Feng Huangs.
In Duan Ling Tian's past life, phoenixes were considered as sacred as dragons. They only existed in legends. During ancient times, since the Qin and Han dynasty, dragons were used as a symbol for emperors. On the other hand, Feng Huangs were used to symbolize empresses. Gradually, over time, Feng Huangs lost its gender identity and were only collectively known as Feng Huang.
The statue in the middle of the platform on the altar was a life-like statue of a phoenix. It was red and the material it was made from was indiscernible. It emitted a scorching hot aura.
A beautiful woman seated cross-legged before the altar. She opened her eyes suddenly and muttered to herself, "That old fart came so soon?"
The beautiful woman's irises were different from ordinary people. It was not black. Instead, it was fiery red. With just a look, it made one feel as though one was being burned. When she stood up, her curvaceous body that was hidden under a robe was exposed. Although her face was not peerlessly beautiful, it was still a beautiful face. She might only be wearing simple clothing, but she gave off an elegant vibe.
"It would've been great if I met that lass earlier… Her departure is going to make me feel sad and reluctant," the beautiful woman muttered to herself. A hint of reluctance could be clearly seen in her eyes.
"Lady Seer!" A respectful female voice sounded from outside.
Hu!
When the beautiful woman heard this, she moved and vanished from her previous spot and reappeared outside the altar.
A young woman dressed in green stood in front of her. The beautiful woman asked indifferently, "What's the matter?"
The woman dressed in green was humble and respectful toward the beautiful woman. "Lady Seer, Senior Prophet is here… He's waiting outside the Phoenix Clan's estate."
"En." The beautiful woman nodded with a knowing look. "I know. I'll bring the girl out in a minute."
The woman dressed in green was not surprised when she heard the beautiful woman said she had already known about the matter. It seemed as though she was already accustomed to it. After all, the beautiful woman in front of her was the Phoenix Clan's seer who could predict the future. She was invincible in the eyes of the Phoenix Clan's members.
Even the Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan was humble and respectful toward Lady Seer.
After the woman dressed in green left, the beautiful woman moved and vanished again. When she reappeared, she had returned to the altar. She moved to the back of the phoenix statue.
Suddenly…
The beautiful woman raised her hand.
Hualala!
As the beautiful woman raised her hand, a tear appeared in the air. Following that, she moved and flew straight into the tear she made in the air. As soon as she entered, the tear closed up.
People would be shocked if they had witnessed this. It looked as though the beautiful woman had been pulled in by the tear in the air. Naturally, that was not the case. She had entered the tear in the air on her own accord.
Currently, the beautiful woman had entered the sacred place of the Phoenix Clan.
The Phoenix Clan's sacred place was a pseudo realm like the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. However, its size was small so it could not be compared to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. This place was called the Place of Rebirth by the members of the Phoenix Clan.
Generally, all talented members of the Phoenix Clan members would have to undergo rebirths. After going through rebirths, they would become stronger. Their cultivation base would also become stronger.
For instance, a Phoenix Clan member who could not break through to the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage due to their innate talent would be able to make a breakthrough after going through a rebirth.
In the Phoenix Clan's Place of Rebirth, all there was to be seen was a flaming red sea and red sky. The temperature was outrageously high compared to the temperature outside. People with weaker cultivation base would definitely be burned into ashes in just a blink of an eye, let alone an ordinary person!
The beautiful woman stood unaffected in mid-air.
Upon closer inspection, one would see the flaming red sea was magma. The magma was boiling and bubbling. Based on this, one could just imagine how high the temperature was. This was the reason why it was so hot in here.
Currently, the beautiful woman hovered in midair as she looked down at the sea of magma as though she was looking for something.
"Lass," the beautiful woman suddenly said to someone in the sea of magma. Her voice was not loud but it seemed as though anyone would be able to hear it.
Based on the beautiful woman's words, there was someone bathing in the sea of magma?
Burble! Burble! Burble! Burble! Burble!
Moments after the beautiful woman spoke, the magma that was boiling and bubbling began to bubble violently.
At this moment...
Boom!
Magma exploded with a loud noise as a fiery-red figure emerged from the sea of magma. From a distance, the figure looked as though it was made of magma.
The person who emerged from the sea of magma was a girl dressed in fiery red clothing. She emitted a strong and scorching hot aura.
"Senior." The girl approached the beautiful woman and greeted her respectfully with a bow. Her voice was gentle and pleasant to the ears.
Her body was voluptuous and perfect. Others would not be able to help themselves from wanting to indulge in pleasurable activities with her.
The red-clad girl had long hair cascading hair over her shoulders and on her back. It was like a waterfall. Her hair framed an extremely beautiful face. She had beautiful eyebrows, bright eyes, a sharp nose, pink lips, and white teeth. Her expression was calm. She looked breathtakingly gorgeous. She was like a fairy who had descended on earth.
If Duan Ling Tian was here, he would be able to tell the fiery elf was none other than Feng Tian Wu.
"Lass, you've completed your rebirth at our Phoenix Clan's Place of Rebirth… I'm sure you know it's time for you to leave?" The beautiful woman sighed softly.
"Senior, is the Old Prophet here?" When Feng Tian Wu heard the beautiful woman's words, she instantly figured out the situation.
Back then, the old man who brought her here told her he would come back for her once she completed her rebirth in the Phoenix Clan's Place of Rebirth.
"Yes." The reluctance in the beautiful woman's eyes intensified when she saw how clever Feng Tian Wu was. It was obvious she did not want Feng Tian Wu to leave.
When Feng Tian Wu saw the reluctance in the beautiful woman's eyes, she quickly comforted her. "Senior, if there's time in the future… I'll come back and visit."
The beautiful woman was happy when she heard Feng Tian Wu's words, but she shook her head. "That's unlikely. Previously, you were allowed to enter the Place of Rebirth due to a debt owed by the ancestor of the Phoenix Clan to Sect Leader Feng Qing Yang of the Seven Absolutes Sect. Moreover, we also allowed you in because the blood of the Phoenix Clan's seer runs in you. Now that the Phoenix Clan has returned the favor to the Seven Absolutes Sect, it won't be possible for you to return!"
"Senior, didn't you say I have your blood running through me? Can't I be a member of the Phoenix Clan?" Feng Tian Wu asked in confusion.
"If you want to be a member of the Phoenix Clan, you're not allowed to leave the Phoenix Clan!" The beautiful woman looked at Feng Tian Wu. "Are you willing to stay in the Phoenix Clan forever until either you die of old age or ascend to Heaven and become an immortal?"
Feng Tian Wu fell silent when she heard this. If she decided to stay in the Phoenix Clan for the rest of her life until she died of old age or ascend to Heaven and become an immortal, did it not mean she would not be able to see the man she missed any more?
Naturally, she could not accept that. Hence, she shook her head.
The beautiful woman was not surprised by Feng Tian Wu's response.
