Ayao collected the Kunpeng King Armor and stored it directly into her primordial spirit. She sat cross-legged in the void, contemplating her next move. With the Kunpeng King Armor, she could now open a passage out. Should she go directly to find her master, or first attempt to break through the bottleneck of the True Immortal stage?
After thinking it over again and again, she decided to go out first to find out about her master's whereabouts before deciding what to do.
After making up her mind, Ayao stood up, her figure flickered in the void, and she arrived at the altar.
On the altar, Mie Xin Luo sat cross-legged, constantly cultivating. For five hundred years, he had been cultivating without exchanging a single word with A Yao.
The man, with black hair and dressed in black, was enveloped in a red aura. His bloodthirsty aura grew increasingly intense. Red spider lilies bloomed profusely from beneath the altar, covering most of the cave realm. Ayao stood amidst the sea of flowers, gazing at the man, and spoke:
"Hey, I'm going out. Do you want to come with me?"
After saying this, Ayao waited for a long time, but she didn't receive a reply from the man, nor did she see him open his eyes or even glance at her.
Feeling bored, Ayao turned and flew towards the sky. Blue light enveloped her, and a silver-white armor appeared on her body. Huge, magnificent Kunpeng wings unfurled behind her, and with a wave of her hand, she tore open a passage to escape.
A huge blue vortex opened up in front of them, and A Yao flew into it, disappearing into it in an instant.
After she disappeared, the blue vortex slowly shrank, and the man sitting cross-legged on the altar opened his eyes. His blood-red pupils shimmered with light, as if emotions were swirling in his eyes, but he quickly closed them again.
The entire cave realm fell into a deathly silence.

In the Spirit Realm, above a great mountain, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. Several True Immortals who were collecting immortal herbs in the mountains looked up at the sky.
They saw a huge blue vortex appear in the sky, and then a figure flew out of the vortex. It was a girl wearing silver-blue armor. The girl had wings, which emitted a dazzling light when they flapped, and wind and thunder followed her like a shadow.
She stood in the sky, her long black hair dancing in the wind. Her armor reflected the sunlight, and her whole body was shrouded in silver light. Her face was not visible, but her figure was heroic and valiant, like a female war goddess.
The moment the girl appeared, everyone felt a chilling sense of oppression. This oppression was so strong that the True Immortals who were collecting immortal herbs turned pale and trembled. This oppression was even more terrifying than their clan's Taiyi Golden Immortal ancestor.
Is this... is this some kind of Great Immortal?
The girl was none other than A Yao. As soon as A Yao came out, she found herself in the Spirit Realm. She saw several True Immortals below and flashed to a height of a hundred meters in the air. She looked down and the True Immortals all knelt down as soon as she approached.
"Junior Du Zhong of Biyou Palace greets senior. May I ask what your instructions are?" A man in blue robes with horns on his head knelt on the ground, trembling. He was a peak True Immortal, and it was clear that he was the leader of this group.
Ayao only wanted to find out about her master, but she felt that searching the soul would be faster than asking. She flashed to the man in blue, whose body stiffened. Countless threads wrapped around him. The others who saw this dared not speak, and just trembled.
Ayao placed her hand on the head of the man in blue named Du Zhong and began the soul search.
She immediately learned about all the major events that had occurred in the Upper Realm over the past five hundred years. She didn't care about anything else; Ayao focused solely on searching for her master, Feng Wu's, whereabouts.
With Master's abilities, there is absolutely no way Feng Qing could capture or kill her silently. If they were to fight, news would surely spread.
After learning that the Phoenix Clan still hadn't found their master in the past five hundred years, she breathed a sigh of relief. No news was good news.
She released Du Zhong, and her entire body transformed into a blue lightning bolt, tearing through space and disappearing.
After she left, Du Zhong collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
"Senior Brother Du? Senior Brother Du, how are you?"
"Senior Brother Du, are you alright?"
People nearby helped him up.
Du Zhong wiped away a cold sweat. He knew he had been subjected to a soul search, but A Yao hadn't intended to harm him, so it was a harmless soul search. Apart from being scared to death, Du Zhong was unharmed.
Du Zhong was panting heavily, feeling as if he had escaped death.
Fortunately, that senior didn't intend to harm him; he was probably just trying to find some information in his mind. Otherwise, he would be crippled by now.

A few days later.
In a secluded cave.
Several dazzling pearls floated in the air within the cave, illuminating the scene inside. In the deepest chamber of the cave, a girl in purple sat on a futon.
A strange light flickered in the girl's azure eyes. She pulled out a golden gourd from her storage space and held it in front of her. After the gourd was opened, a beam of blue light shot out and struck the girl's forehead, merging into her body.
That blue light is the source of water.
After swallowing a wisp of water essence, A Yao began to refine it.
After learning that the Phoenix Clan had not found her master's whereabouts, she split into several clones to continue gathering information outside. Her main body, however, found a safe place to attempt to break through to the Earth Immortal stage. She is now an Earth Immortal, having just entered that realm yesterday. Currently, she is refining the source energy she plundered from the Kunpeng King's tomb.
The Kunpeng King's Tomb was originally a cave realm, which is a world created by the Immortal Emperor through his own power.
This is different from the Immortal Emperor's own realm. The Immortal Emperor's own realm is one with the Immortal Emperor, and no one but the Immortal Emperor can open the Immortal Emperor's own realm. However, once the Cave Realm is opened up, it is not much different from other Great Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Lesser Thousand Worlds. As long as it is not destroyed, it will continue to exist. As long as you can find it and use the right method, you can enter it.
Generally speaking, the celestial emperor's cave dwelling is inhabited by his descendants, clansmen, disciples, and believers.
For example, Xie Chen's Sword God Palace is actually a cave dwelling realm.
The entire Sword God Palace encompasses one realm.
The Kunpeng King's tomb is so vast that she and her master didn't search it thoroughly enough in her previous life. Five hundred years would have been enough for A Yao to search the entire Kunpeng King's tomb thoroughly. In addition, because of her special relationship with Xu Fengzhi, she found many good things that she hadn't found in her previous life.
For example, the origin of water, the origin of ice, the origin of wind, and so on.
Previously, I was too busy forging the Kunpeng King Armor to improve my strength, but now is the perfect time to refine these essences.
