Ayao then told Fengwu in detail what happened after she was forcibly taken away by Luo Bai more than two thousand years ago.
How did she escape from the Dragon Palace? Then how did she meet Feng Chu, obtain the Primordial Other Shore Flower, encounter the Foolish Bone Elder, enter the Kunpeng King's Tomb, discover the Kunpeng King's corpse, and turn it into armor?
Of course, she omitted many details, details she considered unimportant. For example, her ambiguous relationship with Luo Bai, and her seduction of Mie Xinluo—these were things she would never reveal.
I can't bring myself to say it.
"I see." Feng Wu was quite surprised after hearing this. "I really didn't expect that Demon Lord Xuan Tian's avatar would have such a connection with you. I wonder what this connection is..."
Feng Wu feared that this fate would be another tragic one.
The mere mention of Xu Fengzhi dimmed A Yao's eyes. She stood up and looked at Feng Wu, saying:
"Master, let's not talk about this anymore. Master, the people outside are all Feng Qing's men. They already know you're here, but they don't know your exact location. Why don't we leave here first?"
Feng Wu shook her head:
“I have now recovered to the peak of the Immortal King realm, and I am only one step away from the Immortal Emperor realm. At the bottom of this mountain range, there is a fire beast, which is the complete source of fire. As long as I devour it, I can step into the Immortal Emperor realm again. However, the fluctuations caused by the breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm cannot be hidden. In other words, as soon as I start to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, or even start to devour that fire beast, I am afraid that Feng Qing will notice.”
After hearing Feng Wu's words, A Yao released her divine sense, which extended downwards. She saw the surging magma underground and at the center of the magma, a small beast that looked like a Qilin was fast asleep.
That little beast was a ball of fire essence, a ball of fire essence that had been condensed to the extreme and had already begun to possess consciousness.
As a former Immortal Emperor who also attained enlightenment through the source of fire, A Yao could tell at a glance the terrifying fire power contained within this little beast's body. With her current strength, if her master devoured it, she would surely succeed in breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm. The prerequisite was that Feng Qing wouldn't interfere.
But is that even possible?
In his previous life, my master's attempt to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm was a near-death experience.
Feng Qing noticed and led her army to attack. It was a truly dangerous time; she and her master almost perished.
"Master, is the Mirror of Cause and Effect still with you?" Ayao asked.
Feng Wu raised her hand, and the Causal Mirror floated above her palm.
"Master, you only need to focus on breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm. Leave everything else to your disciple. Even if it means death, I will not let anyone disturb you," A Yao said resolutely.
Without the Kunpeng King Armor, she wouldn't have been so confident in her words. With the Kunpeng King Armor and the Causal Mirror, even if Feng Qing led the entire Phoenix Clan to attack, she was confident she could stop them.
Hearing A Yao's words, Feng Wu was moved. She reached out a hand and stroked A Yao's hair, saying:
"Alright, then I'll leave Master's safety to you."
Ayao nodded emphatically and stored the Causal Mirror into her primordial spirit. Then she began to set up various powerful restrictions here. Although she was very confident in herself, for her master's sake, no amount of caution was excessive. Therefore, she needed to set up a powerful array in this cave to guard against unforeseen circumstances.

Seven days later.
On the warship, a young man clad in silver-blue armor stood on the highest deck. His golden eyes gazed into the distance, then glanced at the battlefield beside him, a lazy expression on his handsome face. This young man in silver-blue armor was named Feng Tianhua, one of the youngest Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Phoenix Clan.
He yawned, looking like he wanted to sleep.
"General, should we continue searching? We've been searching this area for a whole month," said a young woman in silver armor. She appeared to be around twenty years old, with exceptionally beautiful features. Her name was Xue Ying, and she was a Taiyi Golden Immortal of the Phoenix Clan.
"Let's keep looking. We'll just keep looking wherever we go," Tianhua said lazily.
“General, um…” A young man with fiery red hair suddenly spoke up. This young man was named Xuan, Feng Xuan. He glanced around furtively before speaking to Tianhua:
"Is the person His Majesty ordered us to find really an imposter? I've heard many people outside suspect that she is indeed the fallen emperor."
The previously listless Tianhua suddenly sharpened his golden eyes upon hearing these words. Xueying, standing beside him, was startled and quickly released her divine sense to check if anyone was eavesdropping nearby.
"Don't say that again, or you'll lose your life." Tianhua looked at his deputy, his entire being suddenly exuding an aura of oppression.
Feng Xuan realized she had said the wrong thing and immediately said, "Yes, I will never mention it again."
Tianhua crossed his arms and transmitted his voice to Xueying and Fengxuan, saying, "Whether it's true or not is unimportant. Are you going to disobey His Majesty's orders for the sake of a former emperor you've never met?"
Xueying and Fengxuan both fell silent. The late emperor had been dead for over two million years, while their parents were only a little over a million years old. Even their parents had never seen the late emperor, let alone any image of him.
Yes, even if it really is the late emperor, so what?
"Don't worry about things that aren't our concern. There's a saying that things will work themselves out. Eat and drink as usual. His Majesty asked us to find people, so we just need to do that. Once we find them, we'll report back. We just need to carry out the orders. We can deal with other messy things later!" Tianhua resumed his lazy demeanor.
"yes!"
Feng Xuan and Feng Xueying clasped their hands in greeting.
Just then, the earth suddenly began to rumble. The mountain peaks ahead began to shake violently, and cracks appeared in their bodies, from which magma spewed out. It wasn't just one mountain peak; other peaks also began to crack one after another, and then erupted magma as if they were volcanoes.
The mountains ahead were originally shrouded in thick fog, but as one mountain after another suddenly erupted like a volcano, the white fog was swept away by the heat wave and disappeared, replaced by thick black smoke.
"What's going on?" Xueying looked around in surprise, her divine sense already spread out.
Tianhua's expression changed. He sensed an extremely terrifying aura—the aura of the Phoenix Clan, a peak Immortal King realm expert. He knew all the Immortal King realm experts in the Phoenix Clan; none of them were them. A stranger from the same clan, perhaps even an Immortal King realm member? Then who was this Immortal King realm expert?
The answer is already obvious.
Tianhua immediately took out a jade slip from his storage space and then crushed it.
He was delivering a message.
Not only him, but the Phoenix Clan generals on other warships also sent out communication jade slips.
