Ling Yun and Zhuge Qingtian did not pursue them; the Black Dragon Clan and the entire Chaos Demon Realm allied with Buddhism.

If they are pushed too far, the Buddha will appear, and a fierce battle will be inevitable.

Anyway, the goal is to retrieve the Phoenix Ancestor's life essence blood; as long as that objective is achieved, that's all that matters.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun and Zhuge Qingtian returned.

Upon receiving the treasure box, Ling Yun immediately opened it. All three drops of his life essence blood were present, and Ling Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The Yellow Emperor exclaimed excitedly:

"Finally, I've recovered my life essence!"

Ling Yun patted his shoulder and said:

"I'll give you a nirvana when we get back!"

"Great!" The Yellow Emperor was thrilled. Now that he had become a Celestial King, he could challenge the Great Sage and wouldn't have to be beaten by him so often because of his inferior strength.

Seeing through the Yellow Emperor's little scheme, the Great Sage grinned and hugged him.

"What, now that you've become a Celestial King, you want to rebel?"

The Yellow Emperor quickly straightened his face and said:

"How is that possible!"

He thought to himself, "I remember very clearly that you hit me 365 times. You'll have to pay back half of that!"

The Great Sage said with a forced smile:

"Let me give you another beating before you become a Celestial King, otherwise I might not have another chance!"

The Yellow Emperor's expression changed drastically, and he immediately fled towards the ancestral land of the Phoenix Clan.

The Great Sage swung his staff and shouted:

"Where do you think you're going, you monster?"

Then, the Yellow Emperor was chased and beaten by the Great Sage all the way.

Upon returning to the Phoenix Ancestral Land, the Phoenix Clan had already surrounded the Fallen Demon Phoenix Clan.

The Phoenix Clan only had one Celestial King, so when the Fallen Demon Phoenix Ancestor came to kill them, he chose to give up the ancestral land in order to prevent his clansmen from being slaughtered.

As for the Phoenix Ancestor's essence blood, even the Phoenix Immortal King doesn't know where it is.

After all, the essence of one's life is of great importance. Before the Phoenix Ancestor was reincarnated after his death, he hid in a place unknown to everyone.

It was only through the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor's considerable effort that he deduced this.

The Fallen Demon Phoenix Ancestor, believing the situation was settled, led all its Immortal-rank combat forces to the Chaos Demon Realm to claim credit.

But unexpectedly, Ling Yun and his group appeared out of nowhere.

Phoenix Immortal King decisively launched a counterattack on the ancestral land. Without a powerful immortal to guard it, the Fallen Demon Phoenix Clan had no choice but to surrender; they didn't even have the ability to escape.

When Ling Yun and the others returned to the Phoenix Ancestral Land, they saw A Bao, Ling Xi, and Ling Yao all eating spirit fruits.

As expected, all we can eat in the Phoenix Ancestral Land is fruit.

Ling Yun approached Yan Ruyu and presented her with the treasure box, saying, "All three drops of your life essence are here!"

Yan Ruyu breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Her life essence was not only related to her own path, but also to the entire Phoenix Clan.

"Greetings to Lord Lingyun, Lord Qiongqi, Great Sage, and the Yellow Emperor!"

Phoenix Immortal King and all the phoenixes bowed deeply to Ling Yun and his companions, thanking them for retrieving the Phoenix Ancestor's life essence and saving the entire Phoenix Clan.

Immediately, the Phoenix Immortal King pointed to the countless fallen demonic phoenixes that were surrounded and said:

"How to deal with the remnants of the Fallen Demon Phoenix is ​​a matter for you, my lords, to decide."

Ling Yun didn't speak but looked at Yan Ruyu.

When she sensed the aura of her natal essence, Yan Ruyu's temperament changed drastically, becoming like a peerless empress ruling over the nine heavens.

She spoke coldly:

"No traitors to be spared, kill them all!"

The Phoenix Immortal King paused slightly, then tentatively asked:

"They also belong to the Phoenix Clan, and we can cleanse their marrow and restore their corrupted bloodline to its rightful state."

Moreover, so many Fallen Phoenixes also constitute a powerful fighting force.

Yan Ruyu said coldly:

"This clan is a vassal of the Black Dragon Clan. The Phoenix Clan and the Black Dragon Clan have an irreconcilable feud, and vassals cannot be allowed to remain."

"Kill them!"

Phoenix Immortal King did not try to persuade him further and immediately ordered the slaughter of the Fallen Demon Phoenix.

At this moment, the white Qilin Ling Shan raised its hand weakly and said:

"I have something to say!"

"You want to plead for them?" Yan Ruyu's demeanor instantly softened when facing her own people.

Ling Shan shook her head, embarrassed, and said:

"What I mean is to leave the body intact, so that I don't have to eat fruit every day."

Look, Brother Bao and Brother Shangguan have both lost weight due to malnutrition these past few days!

A Bao and Shangguan Hong both froze, clearly it was you who wanted to eat meat.

However, they also wanted to eat meat and were willing to take the blame.

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then said to the Phoenix Immortal King:

"Listen to Ling Shan's advice, leave him with a whole body!"

...

That evening, in the former dojo of the Phoenix Ancestor, Ling Yun and his group, along with the Phoenix Immortal King and other high-ranking members of the Phoenix Clan, gathered together, each holding a string of Fallen Demon Phoenixes.

They were thoroughly enjoying their meal.

Ling Shan said happily:

"Wow, the Fallen Phoenix meat is so delicious! It's much better than the Heavenly Phoenix meat!"

Upon hearing the name of the Heavenly Phoenix, Yan Ruyu's expression immediately turned cold, and she said to the Phoenix Immortal King beside her:

"Tomorrow, I will lead my people to annihilate the Mingtian Divine Phoenix Clan!"

The Mingtian Divine Phoenix Clan was jealous of the Phoenix Clan. Knowing they were no match for them, they captured a young phoenix and brought it to the Golden Cloud Continent to torment it.

Little Phoenix was later rescued by Ling Yun and the others, and from them learned that Yan Ruyu was the Phoenix Goddess, also known as the Phoenix Ancestor.

Because Little Phoenix usually calls herself Little Milk Phoenix, Ling Yun and the others call her Little Milk Phoenix.

After following Ling Yun and the others, Xiao Naifeng lived a carefree and happy life every day, and had long forgotten that experience.

He did not tell his clansmen about the matter upon returning home.

Upon hearing the little phoenix recount her humiliating and tormented experiences, the Phoenix Clan's high-ranking members were all enraged.

Phoenix Immortal King roared:

"It's one thing for the Black Dragon Clan and the Fallen Demon Phoenix to deal with us, but how dare someone like the Heavenly Phoenix join the fray? Then let's fight!"

"Let this race be wiped out tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Shan immediately raised her hand and weakly said:

"I have something to say!"

Phoenix Immortal King laughed:

"I understand! Leave him with a whole body!"

"Hehe! Thank you, Grandpa Phoenix!" Ling Shan said with satisfaction.

...

The following morning, the Phoenix Immortal King led the elite troops of the Phoenix Clan to the territory of the Mingtian Divine Phoenix.

Ling Shan and Ling Xi also went there with Ling An and the Eight-Colored Qilin.

They went to collect the body.

At this moment, at the Phoenix Ancestral Temple, Yan Ruyu led the Yellow Emperor to a paulownia tree in the temple.

Atop the parasol tree stands a magnificent phoenix nest, built by Yan Ruyu before her reincarnation after her death. It is the finest phoenix nest in the world.

"Brother Yellow Emperor, are you ready?"

Yan Ruyu asked.

The Yellow Emperor calmed himself and nodded slightly:

"I'm ready! I've been waiting for this day for ages!"

"Good!" Yan Ruyu took out the Phoenix Fruit, the Wutong Essence Water, and the Nirvana Fruit, then pointed her finger at his brow and taught him the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Heart Method.

"The Phoenix Nest will burn three times. When it burns for the first time, immediately swallow the Phoenix Fruit. When it burns for the second time, drink the essence of the parasol tree. When it burns for the third time, swallow the Nirvana Fruit."

Throughout the entire Nirvana period, you must keep the Nirvana Heart Sutra running. If the running of the Heart Sutra is interrupted even once, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but you will also suffer irreversible damage to the Great Dao.

They might even be reduced to ashes by the Phoenix Flame.

Ling Yun patted the Yellow Emperor on the shoulder and laughed:

"Your resolve must be firm. We will protect you. Don't think about anything else and focus on Nirvana!"

The Yellow Emperor nodded slightly, glanced gratefully at the crowd, and said:

"Okay! Let's begin!"

After saying this, he began to practice the Nirvana Technique, and Yan Ruyu waved her hand, igniting the Phoenix Essence Fire in the Phoenix Nest.
