SCREECH!
In the blazing fire, a long cry resounded. Then, the shadow of an Ancient Phoenix flew out, its massive form covering the sky and sun, with waves of its presence crushing everything in all directions.
Practitioners from far and distant places were all deeply moved.
"Ancient Phoenix," Lan Xiuzhi said with a light chuckle from a high mountain. "An ancestor of our Heavenly Phoenix Imperial Dynasty once killed an Ancient Phoenix with his bare hands and forged its bones and essence blood into the Phoenix Cauldron, then sealed its Divine Soul within. After tens of thousands of years of integration, it became the God of the Phoenix Cauldron. When the time comes... once the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon reaches Perfection, that Ancient Phoenix will emerge every time it revives. Hehe, isn't it beautiful?"
It is beautiful, indeed! But isn't it a bit cruel? Moreover, that's an Ancient Phoenix! Auspicious, a Divine Beast, a Spiritual Beast... Your ancestors really had the heart to do it.
