The failure of the Great Nirvana was an immensely heavy blow for the Old Clan Leader.
It also made him realize that with his aptitude, he wouldn't be able to endure a second Great Nirvana in his lifetime.
Jiunie Mountain isn't the best place for the Phoenix Clan to cultivate.
If Jiuqu Volcano erupts again, I'm afraid the entire Jiunie Mountain would be obliterated, potentially affecting nearby villages and harming innocents.
These are things the Old Clan Leader does not wish to see.
Yet the Old Clan Leader's hope wasn't completely shattered, he saw hope in his granddaughter, Little Wuya.
An innate Illusion Phoenix who also possesses Ancient Phoenix Blood; most importantly, Little Wuya has a group of companions who can walk with her.
If anyone can challenge the Great Nirvana, it can only be Little Wuya.
"Father, Little Wuya has just returned to us, I beg you..."
When the Ice Phoenix heard that her daughter would leave again, her heart broke.
