The crimson phoenix was still in Xiao Yanran's arms, playing and frolicking with Lingxi.
Looking at the crimson divine phoenix, Xiaoyao Hong revealed a look of reverence and said:
"The Divine Phoenix is not the Holy Maiden's mount or servant. The two of them have not signed a master-servant contract, nor have they merged together."
They are like sisters, though the Holy Maiden is human.
Lady Shenfeng was discovered by the Holy Maiden when she failed the sect's assessment and wandered in the desolate mountains in despair. They relied on each other and became sisters.
Their bond was extremely deep. After the Holy Maiden was ambushed and killed by the Golden-Winged Roc King, it was the Divine Phoenix who took up the Holy Maiden's mantle and led the Tang Domain to final victory!
After saying this, Xiaoyao Hong shed tears again.
"At first, Lord Shenfeng only suffered internal injuries, not the terrible state he was in before."
Later, Lord Shenfeng stayed by the Holy Maiden's tomb, hoping to meet her reincarnation.
Ten thousand years ago, the Arhat Subduing Tiger infiltrated the Tang Domain, found the tomb of the Holy Maiden, not only smashed the tomb and destroyed the statue, but also gouged out the eyes of the Divine Phoenix and cut off her legs.
They even shattered her primordial spirit. If we hadn't arrived in time, Lady Shenfeng would have been tortured to death.
Later, Lord Shenfeng forbade anyone to approach that place, so we had to seal it away as a secret realm and send healing items there every now and then.
Sigh~
Upon hearing this, Qiongqi became extremely angry.
"I should have tortured the Tiger-Taming Arhat properly; letting him die so easily was too good for him!"
Xiaoyaohong said angrily:
"The Buddhists in the Demon Subduing Starfield are afraid of the Holy Maiden because she has instilled an invincible military spirit in the cultivation world of the Tang Domain."
In order to shatter the military spirit, they destroyed all the statues of the Holy Maidens of Tang Domain and even erased the memories of the Holy Maidens.
They knew that as long as their military spirit remained, they could not conquer the Tang territory!
After speaking, Xiaoyao Hong looked at Xiao Yanran seriously and said:
“Holy Maiden, if possible, you should leave Tang Domain as soon as possible. The great war is only a few years away, and you have already contributed everything to Tang Domain in your previous life.”
There's no need to fight for the Tang Dynasty in this life anymore. Enjoy your life, enjoy the stars and the sea you've always longed for!
As if stirred by memories, Xiaoyao Hong laughed:
“Back when I was by your side, you would look up at the starry sky every night and tell me that life should not be confined to one place, but should go to the vast sea of stars and see all the wonders of the world, so as not to waste life!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanran's pretty face immediately turned red.
It turns out that the phrase "stars and the sea" has accompanied me through two lifetimes.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yanran said:
"In my previous life, I was the Holy Maiden of Fire, and in this life, I am still the same. If Tang Yu is in trouble, I will definitely not stand idly by. This is my mission, and also my tribulation."
Only when the Tang Realm is truly safe and free from the covetousness of foreign enemies will my mission and calamity be complete!
"The saintess's righteousness is boundless!"
Xiaoyao Hong stood up and said with an extremely serious expression.
Xiao Yanran waved her hand, gesturing for him to sit down.
"How can one travel to the stars and see the world's wonders without resolving family matters?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Yanran. At this moment, she seemed to be both the Holy Maiden of Fire and the short-tempered Commander Xiao.
At this moment, Ling Yun asked:
"The curse on the Vulcan Sect was cast by the Buddhists, wasn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Hong became furious and roared:
"That's right! Because I am the servant of the Holy Maiden, the Buddhists cursed the Fire God Sect to be forever eroded by water poison."
We originally practiced fire magic, but due to water poisoning, we are unable to practice fire magic.
This is not only a curse, but a humiliation! As the successors of a fire magic master, we are unable to practice fire magic!
He paused, looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice:
"Not only the Fire God Sect, but the entire Tang Domain has been cursed by Buddha. It's extremely difficult for cultivators in the Tang Domain to break through to higher realms now!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun looked at A Bao and the others:
"Give the Tribulation Liquid you obtained during your tribulation to Sect Master Xiaoyao and the others. The Tribulation Liquid can break the curse!"
After saying this, Lingyun, Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Golden Lion soared into the sky and rose above the clouds.
There is a Buddha's mark here, and it is because of the existence of this mark that cultivators in the Tang Domain have difficulty breaking through to higher realms.
The next moment!
The Great Sage swung his staff and smashed it at a cloud.
With a loud bang!
The clouds shattered, and then a huge phantom of Buddha appeared in front of Ling Yun and his companions.
The Buddha, still displaying his great compassion, looked at Ling Yun and spoke in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist Ling, why are you hindering my plans at every turn!"
Lingyun knew that he and the Buddha had a great debate on the Dao, and the Buddha was naturally aware of this as well.
He had long wanted to kill Ling Yun, but with his current strength, he was not capable of killing Ling Yun in a one-on-one fight, and might even be killed instead.
Therefore, while expanding his territory to draw upon the power of his vows, the Buddha also sought a suitable opportunity to destroy Lingyun's true form.
Ling Yun ignored the question posed by the Buddha's mark.
The next moment!
Qiongqi raised its hand and shattered the Buddha's mark, erasing the mark's suppression of the Tang Dynasty cultivators.
Next, Lingyun and the other three searched through Tangyu Cloud and removed dozens of marks.
Most of the markings were for monitoring the Tang region.
After doing all this, Lingyun, Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Golden Lion looked up at the distant starry sky.
There is a star field there, which is the Demon Subduing Star Field, an enemy of the Tang Domain.
This star system submitted to Buddhism millions of years ago and became its henchmen.
The main force in the last great battle was the Buddhist and Taoist army of the Demon Subduing Starfield.
After removing the marks, Ling Yun and the other three returned to the Fire God Sect's main training ground.
The group stayed at the Fire God Sect for half a month, during which Lingyun and Phoenix taught the sect the complete fire techniques.
On this day, at the foot of Mount Huoshen, Xiaoyao Hong led all his disciples to bid farewell to Xiao Yanran.
He was holding a red suit of armor in his hands.
"Your Majesty, this is your battle armor, now returned to its rightful owner."
I hope you never wear it!
Xiaoyao Hong witnessed the fall of the Flame Saintess and couldn't bear to see the same thing happen again.
If he could, he would rather be the one who perished.
Xiao Yanran took the red armor and placed it into her sea of consciousness.
"See you soon, Hiro~"
The word "Xiao Hong" brought tears to Xiao Yao Hong's eyes again. He hadn't heard this title in millions of years, and only Xiao Yanran was qualified to call him Xiao Hong.
"Farewell, Holy Maiden! Farewell, Divine Phoenix!"
Xiaoyao Hong continued watching until Ling Yun and his group disappeared from sight.
At this moment, Xiao Yanran was still immersed in her past life, just like Yan Ruyu when she learned that she was the reincarnation of the Phoenix Goddess.
Qiongqi joked:
"Our Brother Lingyun is truly blessed with good fortune! He has two peerless female prodigies, the Phoenix Goddess and the Flame Saintess, as his Daoist partners. The Great Sage and the Golden Lion are the envy of him!"
The Great Sage and the Golden Lion froze, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ling Yun laughed:
"Likewise, Sister-in-law Hu Shuang is a White Tiger who has returned to her ancestral form, and can also be called an unparalleled female prodigy!"
The golden lion roared:
"That's enough, you two!"
Ling Yun shook his head and smiled.
"Let's go to Volcano City to find the Nirvana Lotus!"
