It was an egg-sized bead that emitted a fiery-red glow. The bead drew a long red trail in the sky. After passing through countless clouds, it stopped in between the three experts and the three beasts guarding it. Floating in the sky, he looked carefully at the fiery-red bead as it slowly rotated in the air.

As the three of them stared at the pearl, the fiery red pearl seemed to ignite, and in an instant, the pearl began to emit light, and balls of red light were emitted from the pearl's body. Be it Yun Shu, Le Ye, Mei Zhang You, or the other prisoners, as well as the six of them, all of them felt an extremely high temperature rush towards them. The heat wave was so strong that it was as if they were about to evaporate all the water in their bodies, and all of them involuntarily retreated a distance, away from the suffocating heat wave.

"Is this the Fire Phoenix Pearl?" He asked in confusion as he looked at the fiery-red bead that seemed like it was about to burn the entire sky.

The Fire Phoenix Pearl was a treasure passed down within the Great Gan Royal Family. There were many people who knew about the existence of the Fire Phoenix Pearl, but there weren't many who had actually seen it. Although the Eldest Princess Yu Chuqing had handed the Fire Phoenix Pearl to her niece Yu Tian Xiang more than ten years ago, the Eldest Princess Yu Tian Xiang had never revealed it to outsiders.

"Probably." Ye Ci replied with uncertainty.

"It's the Fire Phoenix Pearl." Yunshu stared at the pearl for a moment and then nodded. As one of the ministers of the imperial city who came from one of the eight noble clans, she had personally witnessed the Grand Princess passing the imperial treasure to Yu Tian Xiang when she was at the full moon stage.

"So this is what His Majesty and the Grand Princess were talking about." Hearing this, Ye Yin was moved. She was the one in charge of sending the injured student out of the Mountain Sea Painting. Previously, when they found out that there might be more than one strange beast guarding this painting, it was her who returned to Qianyuan City to report to the emperor.

Ever since Da Gan's establishment in the Nine University Palace, although there were many talented people, there were very few who were able to reach the level of 'tribulation' and remain in Da Gan's position. This time, in addition to training the students and setting the position of chief, there was also the task of determining whether or not this small world was in danger. More than two hundred years ago, Emperor Taizu's Great Formation of the Heart of Mirage could still function properly, allowing those who were stuck at the peak of the great tribulation to enter the great formation and try their luck.

However, compared to the huge population of nearly four hundred million in Da Gan City, even a million people might not necessarily have a Great Calamity Ranker. As for the reverends of the Royal Capital that could only be made up of supreme experts, that was even rarer.

Master Le Ye returned to the Qian Yuan Royal Palace and reported what had happened in the scroll to the Emperor and Grand Princess. The two of them didn't continue to send ministers to the scroll. The Grand Princess Yu Chuqing had even said that she had left a hidden trump in the Mountain and Sea Painting, so she didn't have to worry about it. Although she didn't know what the hidden ace was, she didn't ask too much because she knew that Yu Chu Qing, who had been assisting the government for more than ten years, would always do things one step at a time. Moreover, her only son, Lu Que, was the one who had entered the painting.

Now, after hearing Yunshu say that it was the Fire Phoenix Pearl, the heart that had just reached her throat was finally relieved. Although she had never seen the Fire Phoenix Pearl before, she knew the origin and legend of this pearl in detail.

The reason why Da Gan used the phoenix as the nation's banner in the future, was not only because Da Gan established the country by virtue of his virtue, nor was it because the founder emperor was a woman. It was also related to the pearl in front of him.

According to legend, after the founding of the Great Gan Empire, because the citizens were all waiting for the coming of age, the affairs of the nation were extremely heavy. As the Emperor Taizu, as an enlightened ruler, he naturally did everything himself, expending countless efforts to consolidate the imperial court and the various powers, thus developing the lives of the people and allowing the newly unified Great Gan to rise from the chaotic battles between the various dukes that lasted for more than two hundred years.

However, it was also because of this that the personal cultivation of the female emperor Yu Wang Shu had not broken through for a long time due to the burden of national affairs. When the country was stable, the empress set up two chambers, one for the outside and the other for the inside, to divide the military and political affairs in her hands. It was said that the empress possessed incredible power. After passing the position of empress to her son, she left this Fire Phoenix Pearl behind, and it was the inheritance treasure of the Yu Dynasty.

Although not many people knew of this matter, as the ministers of the Imperial City, they all knew it in their hearts. Thus, when the Fire Phoenix Pearl appeared, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. The three knew very well that even if the three of them were at the same level as the Prison Ox, Ya Zhi, and Jiao Tu, the three people in the Human Realm who had yet to form a Dao Embryo were no match for these three gifted people in front of them.

Looking at the Fire Phoenix Pearl in the sky that radiated an endless brilliance like the sun, whether it was the fierce and fierce pupils, the gentle heart of a cow-like prisoner, or the chili image that only liked to stay at home and disdained to look outside, all of their faces turned ugly.

This was because they could clearly feel the aura of a phoenix coming from the pearl. As the saying goes, 'The dragon has nine sons, the phoenix has nine young'. Being the children of divine beasts, they were born not to be taken care of. In the past many years, it was unknown how many times these dragons and descendants of phoenixes had fought. Although they weren't exactly mortal enemies, they were indeed not very close to each other.

Furthermore, as Earth Rank beasts, they could all feel that this Fire Phoenix Pearl was emitting an uncomfortable pressure, one that originated from a bloodline. It was clear that the owner of this pearl that had the aura of a phoenix was at least on the same level as their father, the current ruler of the dragon race.

In this small world, this kind of pressure had yet to exceed their endurance, but it was also suppressed to the point where they did not dare to move recklessly. Different from the Dragon race who lived in the Deep Sea of Hanhai, the phoenix race, other than the Five-coloured phoenix, which often appeared in the world, resided in that volcano on the Flame Continent.

Right at this moment, the radiance emitted by the Fire Phoenix Pearl suddenly disappeared, but the temperature had increased by a few degrees, and the three beasts could clearly see that the air near the Fire Phoenix Pearl was slightly distorted by the heat, and even the spirit energy of heaven and earth seemed to be ignited.

With a peng sound, the three foot radius around the Fire Phoenix Pearl was suddenly lit ablaze. A ball of fire appeared in the sky and a woman's figure appeared within the ball of fire.

When Yun Shu, Yue Ye, and Mei Changju saw the face of the woman in the flames, they were shocked. This woman's appearance was exactly the same as the huge statue of the empress of Holy Phoenix Plaza in the imperial capital. The Holy Phoenix was the year that the founding queen of the kingdom used, and the sculpture on the plaza was personally carved by the head of the Shi family, the family of the craftsman.

"ChenYunshu."

"Subordinate music."

"Your subject has grown up."

"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty."

Even through the flames, the three of them could feel the domineering aura and power from the girl's body. They hurriedly bowed and greeted her. After the establishment of the empress, the kneeling ceremony since the beginning of the Profound Sky was abolished. Other than the sacrificial ceremony, even the monarch could only bow in greeting towards it.

"Yun Shu?" The woman within the flames looked at Yun Shu, a smile on her face. However, even though she was smiling, one could still feel her aloof and aloof aura, like the snow on a lonely peak. Is he a member of the Yun Family? "

"In reply to Your Majesty, this humble subject is a member of the Yun Family." Facing the empress who had single-handedly created the Great Gan Empire, even Yun Shu, as one of the most important people, did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent as she spoke respectfully.

"Yi Xing, how are you?"

The person the female emperor was asking about was one of the four heroes of the younger generation that had followed her into the world, the Yun family's founder, Yun Yixing.

Yun Shu smiled wryly as he heard this. "The Old Ancestor left Dazhi 150 years ago. There has been no news of him for several decades. This humble subject really does not know if he is well or not."

The woman in the flame nodded her head, then shifted her gaze back to Music Leaf. After sizing her up for a while, she revealed a gratified expression, "Looking at your description and your martial arts, I think you're from the Le Family. Tian Yin is blessed to have such a descendant."

"Thank you, your majesty, for your praise." Moreover, the first generation head of the Le Family, Le Tianyin, was one of the empress's great friends. In this aspect, the empress Yu Wangshu could be considered her elder, and she was very happy to receive the praise of her elders.

"Mmm, your nature is natural, and your nature is natural. You're not bad." Yu Wang Shu looked at Ye Ci's expression and nodded in satisfaction. "Since the Heart of Red Dust has been completed, it's time for you to leave." Yu Wang Shu and Le Tianyin had known each other since childhood, so they naturally knew about the secret of the Le Clan's martial arts. With just a few glances at Ye Ci, they could tell that she was at a very high level.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me where this humble subject's ancestor is?" Due to the relationship between the Ancestor and the Empress, the Master of Music didn't have much scruples when she spoke, so she directly asked. This was because she knew that the person this Emperor had passed on to her was her ancestor, Le Tianyin, after she left the sect.

"If you wish to meet Tian Yin." Yu Wangshu thought about it and said, "Let's go to the Southern Wasteland. If we're lucky, we might be able to meet one."

"Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty." Ye Yin said happily.

Seeing the empress's gaze land on him again, Mei Laoju bowed and said, "This humble official greets Your Majesty. This humble servant is from the Humble Class and does not have much of an illustrious person in the family. Your Majesty probably does not know him."

When Yu Wang Shu heard his words, his tone became stiff, but he didn't pay them any heed. Great Gan lives in the eastern part of the Greenwood Tree, he was born in a land filled with good fortune, and he ruled over billions of people. Even though you were born in a Humble Class, and your Humble Class talents are as vast as the stars, it is still rare for you to have such a cultivation level. "

Yu Wang Shu paused for a moment before continuing, his voice seemed to carry a trace of strange power, "There are no honorable, aristocratic, or Humble Classes in this world. The people here today are all members of the Humble Class. If the heart has the world, then all living things will be full. Do you understand? "

Although he was a supreme expert, he was only talented in the path of martial arts. Regardless of whether it was governing a country or leading an army, he was not a commander. In this lifetime, wanting to be conferred the title of marquis and become a member of a temple was impossible. This had practically become a sore point in his heart over these years, to the point that after entering the human realm, his cultivation had not improved at all. Now that he was awoken by this female emperor's words, he couldn't help but be extremely grateful.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. This subject understands."

Yu Wang nodded with a smile. However, when she looked at the picture of the cow-captive, the pink-eyed, and the captive-eyed, there was no smile on her face at all.

The hearts of the three Dragon Children skipped a beat when they saw the look in Yu Huang Shu's eyes. They had an agreement with this female Emperor, but they were defeated by her when all of them joined hands. Otherwise, with their pride as Dragon Children, how could they allow anyone to tie them up in a small world?

Although the people from back then did not come in person, just this phantom flame made their hearts beat like a drum, making them shiver. Although the woman's words were gentle, her gaze was gentle, but in their eyes, she was even more terrifying than a primordial beast, so they quickly spoke.

"The Prison Ox greets the Human Emperor."

"You Ye greets the Human Emperor."

"Tootles greets the Human Emperor."

The three Human Sovereigns that guarded the mouths of strange beasts were different from ordinary Human Sovereigns. The Human Emperor that these beasts spoke of didn't represent power, but power. In the history of the human race, there had been countless people who had claimed the title of Emperor. However, the Human Emperor, who was acknowledged by all races, was one of them.

One must know that the man in front of him back then had not only ended the chaotic times, but had also unified the world and established the Great Gan Empire, which was now like boiling oil. In the latter part of his reign, he had also removed the title of Emperor from the world. Other than Da Gan, no country or race could be called emperors.

This was not limited to only limited to the humans of the Cyanwood Continent. Even their father, the Dragon Emperor, had been forced by this man to lower himself and change his title to the Dragon King. The four Demon Emperors had teamed up and engaged in a great battle with this person. Although the outcome was unknown, the country was still called the Demon Emperor's Kingdom, but the Demon Emperor himself no longer considered himself as an emperor. It could be seen how heaven and earth this human female emperor's cultivation was.

"I originally meant well by locking you two in the small world. Although you two are dragon sons, your natures are different. Entering this small world makes it easier to nurture your bodies and temper. Why are you causing trouble now? "

Yu Wangshu's voice made all three of them shudder, and even the battle-ready and bloodthirsty Ya Zhi didn't dare to speak up. Although he was a brave and fierce fighter, it still depended on who he faced. It was no longer a question of overestimating one's capabilities. It was simply courting death. It believed that even if its body was impervious to swords and sabers, it wouldn't be able to withstand a light palm from the human emperor.

"Why aren't you talking?" Yu Wang Shu's eyebrows creased slightly, scaring the three Earth Stage strange beasts into retreating.

After a long while, the head of the prison slightly shifted his body, looking at the human figure's expression in the flames, he said, "Reporting to the Human Emperor, our brothers and the Human Emperor have agreed to guard this small world for two sixty-year cycles, but now more than four of them have passed. Does the Human Emperor …" Seeing that Yu Wang Shu's expression had not changed, the prison cow boldly said, "Can you let us out now?"

"Oh?" Yu Wang Shu glanced at the three beasts with a smile that was not a smile. It frightened them so much that their bodies shrank back once again. They could only stare at the figure within the flames in anticipation.

"This is my negligence." "The five fingers of Yu Wang Shu's left hand moved slightly, as if he was calculating something." "Since you've already passed the fourth sixty-year cycle, and kept your promise, you should be allowed to leave. I should also be able to give you some compensation to complete Karma."

"There is no need for compensation. Being able to guard the small world with the Human Emperor is the good fortune of us brothers. As long as you allow us to leave this place, we guarantee that we will be able to never set foot outside of the Cyanwood Continent again." Hearing that the empress was moved, he quickly spoke up. There was no trace of the vengeful aura he had in the folklore.

"Right, right." The cow-captive also repeatedly nodded his head, "I've heard that the human race is flourishing, so I'd like to go out and listen to the joy of that silk bamboo."

"Kid, what about you?" Yu Wang Shu looked at the map again.

"Me? I don't care. " "I just want to stay in the Aquatic Manor. To be honest, I've just taken care of the Aquatic Manor here, so I'm a bit reluctant."

"Old?" When he heard her words, he panicked. However, when he saw Yu Wang Shu turn to look at him, he mumbled a few words but didn't say anything.

"You have a good personality." However, Yu Wenzhu was very satisfied when he saw the map. Indeed, the nine sons of the Dragon King were all different.

"The miniature world of the Mountain and Sea Painting is expanding year by year. We still need you to protect us, but you are not allowed to leave at this time." Furthermore, a hundred years ago, your brother, the Suan Ni, had activated a beast tide in the Mountain and Sea Painting of the Central Sun Academy, causing all the students, teachers, and elders to perish.

"What?" If the person in front of it wasn't someone he couldn't fight against, he would have long since slapped him.

"Listen to what I have to say." Yu Wangshu said again, but it was this slow and unhurried voice that made his mind buzz.

"I once obtained twelve Green Feather Mysterious Spirit Dans in the Southern Wasteland. If I don't tell you about the effects of this pill, you should know that you guys can guard this place for another one hundred and two years." I've obtained twelve Green Feather Mysterious Spirit Dans in the Southern Wasteland.

"Is what the Human Emperor said true?" At this moment, the eyes of even Jiao Tu, who had always been indifferent, lit up. The Blue Feather Mysterious Spirit Pill was the most precious treasure of the Scaled Armor Race within the Four Great Demon Imperial Kingdoms. As a son of the Dragon clan, it was incredibly useful for them. They were both high-grade earth-step strange beasts. If they could obtain the assistance of this pill, they could break through the natural barrier of the Heaven Stage.

"Of course it's true."

"Alright, we agree. I just hope that the Human Emperor won't be negligent." "Don't worry," the cow-prisoner said worriedly.

"Then I'll go with you guys first so that you can feel at ease." Just as he finished his sentence, three blue-green medicinal pills exuded a strange fragrance as they appeared before the three beasts.

Before Yunshu and the other two could take a good look at the pill, the three beasts had already swallowed it. They were afraid that the medicinal properties of the pill would be lost, so they quickly thanked her and left.

"Alright, now that this matter is over, it's time for me to leave as well." As she spoke to here, the Fire Phoenix Pearl turned into a stream of light and flew into the distant horizon. However, after flying to the cliff valley, the bead paused for a moment, and then disappeared from the line of sight of Yun Shu and the other two.
