"But did it really come from the upper realm?" Wang Shu Shaojun asked.

Xuanxi Heavenly Lord frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

He never imagined that the Three Realms, which had been peaceful for hundreds of thousands of years, would once again have something related to the legendary Upper Realm.

He had assumed that under the rule of the Heavenly Emperor, the Three Realms would continue to develop peacefully.

Perhaps deep down, the Heavenly Emperor had sacrificed a great deal for the Three Realms, and he didn't want any unexpected changes to occur.

He nodded slightly.

"I never imagined that the Three Realms weren't the end." Wang Shu Shaojun had lived in the Northern Divine Kingdom for so many years, and now, thinking back, she felt quite emotional. Moreover, the little bumpkin from the wilderness was still shocked to hear so many secrets, so she couldn't help but look up at the phoenix that was vigorously opening a spatial rift and busily stuffing mature immortal herbs into the space. It was as if the previous struggle with the Heavenly Emperor had become distant and insignificant.

She also never expected that simply being drawn into a spatial rift by the Heavenly Emperor would lead to such a strange sight.

Whether it's the road to the upper realm or this strange phoenix.

This even made her think about what it would be like if she led her people to the upper realm...

Forget it. Those furry, silly monsters would probably get skinned alive if they went to the Upper Realm.

Although she had encountered a fortuitous encounter, Wang Shu Shaojun's greed vanished in an instant. With the calmest expression, she watched the phoenix flying excitedly from afar. Seeing the sparrow-like phoenix's feathers glowing with happiness, she couldn't help but smile faintly and said gently, "I'm sure you heard what Ah Xuan and I said. The northern lands are barren, and I'm afraid you don't have many immortal herbs. However, if I could receive your protection, I would be willing to do everything in my power to support you."

Of course, when he said this, the naive Wang Shu Shaojun had no idea what a glutton this phoenix was.

Phoenix stared at the straightforward female immortal with a strange look for a long time.

"I understand," it nodded generously.

Wang Shu Shaojun was deeply moved by the kindness of his senior.

"Senior is truly a fine phoenix."

The plump phoenix with its protruding chest and belly waited a moment.

However, after saying this, Wang Shu Shaojun made no further comment.

"That's all?" Fat Phoenix couldn't help but ask.

A "good guy" card or something like that won't fill your stomach!

Wang Shu Shaojun looked at Phoenix with an expression that said, "You're very greedy."

How could you ask for spiritual herbs after receiving gratitude? That's so unbecoming of a senior.

So-called seniors are just people of high moral character who do good deeds anonymously, and after receiving thanks, they unleash all sorts of positive energy, vowing to protect others to the death, right?

A pair of clear eyes met a pair of beady eyes. After a long while, the fat phoenix tried to cover its chest with its short wings, let out a miserable cry, and fell headfirst into the void, rolling around on the ground, shouting, "How heartless, shameless, and unreasonable!"

It leaped up with all its might, snatched the expressionless Xuanxi Tianjun, whose lips were only slightly upturned, and cried out, "I shouldn't have trusted Guiche's son! They're all bad guys!" It had actually been completely fooled by these two seemingly sincere and honest juniors who were actually incredibly cunning.

This means that you're asking Grandpa Phoenix to work for you for nothing.

"I entrust my Shushu to you, senior." Xuanxi Tianjun reached out and pinched the phoenix's fire-breathing beak, saying calmly.

The phoenix broke free and kicked him in the face with its claws.

"Why didn't you entrust it to your wretched father?!"

"We juniors are fortunate to have met you," Wang Shu Shaojun said with a smile and a gentle voice.

At this point, there was absolutely no trace of the ruthless, aggressive act of flipping the table.

"See? These days, even a good immortal can't be one." Having acted as a good immortal, saving several juniors, only to be betrayed like this, the phoenix felt deeply hurt. It choked back a sob, wiped away the glistening tears from its eyes with its wings, and disappeared. In the entire stable space, only the distant passage emitted a faint rumbling sound. However, Wangshu Shaojun looked suspiciously at the passage flashing with divine light, carefully sensing it, and suddenly asked, "Has this passage become unstable?"

"What?" Xuanxi Tianjun was furious and left Phoenix completely unconcerned.

All seniors are generally true to their word, and since Phoenix has agreed to become Wangshu Shaojun's backer, she will not go back on her word.

He had secured the best possible backer for his daughter Shushu, and he was completely satisfied.

In response to Wang Shu Shaojun's doubts, Xuanxi Tianjun paused for a moment, raised his clear eyes, looked into the distance at the passage mentioned by the phoenix, then his expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Look down at the passage."

Even the Six Paths Immortal Lord cast his curious gaze at the bottom of the passage.

The bottom connecting this space has begun to crack and dissipate.

"This passage is about to collapse," Wang Shu Shaojun said with a grave expression.

Although she herself had no intention of using this passage to enter some inexplicable upper realm, she knew that once this passage was discovered by the Three Realms, it would definitely cause a violent upheaval.

If the legendary immortal emperors, the demon kings of the north, and countless ancient demons and immortals who disappeared in the Three Realms all opened up the path to the Upper Realm and went there, then is the Upper Realm actually a paradise that is even more beautiful than the Three Realms?

This is a tremendous temptation and source of hope for all the immortals in the Three Realms; countless celestial beings would be willing to seek this path to the legendary Upper Realm. However, Wang Shu Shaojun keenly sensed that this path had already begun to destabilize, and to put it bluntly, it was not impossible for it to collapse if the turbulence became too great.
