The former patriarch of the Divine Phoenix Clan was imprisoned here forever by his own people. He was never able to escape when the Divine Phoenix Clan was massacred, and could only watch helplessly as his own people were wiped out.
Perhaps Tianhuo was angry at the time, but he was powerless to do anything about it and could only silently endure the torment and pain.
"Hey kid, ask me anything else you want. I'll tell you everything I know. I've been here for so long without anyone to talk to, I'm about to die of boredom," Tianhuo said impatiently.
The past is the past. Compared to the pain of our clan's annihilation, being able to talk to Bai Hao is the most important thing now.
"May I ask what your current cultivation level is, senior? And why are you imprisoned here?" Bai Hao asked.
Hearing Bai Hao's question so direct right off the bat, Tian Huo chuckled: "Hey, you're asking me a question like that right off the bat, that's pretty direct."
"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to."
"You little brat, I never said I didn't want to talk about it, why are you in such a hurry? These aren't treasures, what's there to hide?" Tianhuo said quickly, as if afraid Bai Hao would leave if he was unhappy.
"I've long forgotten what level of cultivation I have now. I've wasted more than two thousand years, so what level of cultivation could I possibly have? However, two thousand years ago, I did reach the peak of the Supreme Realm, a half-step beyond description, which even attracted that brat Liuli to come and seek cooperation with me."
"Not even half a step can be spoken of? Hearing this, Bai Hao was slightly surprised."
It was indeed because his cultivation was too strong that Su Xuanyi and the others had no choice but to join forces to seal him here.
But the Heavenly Fire wasn't sealed by Su Xuanyi and the others in the first place, right?
"Since your cultivation is so high, why were you sealed here? Did your clansmen seal you?"
"Hey, you little brat, you can't even ask a simple question!" Tianhuo said angrily. "Do you think it's shameful for an old man like me to be locked up here by my own people?"
"That's not what the junior meant."
"Hmph, I see that's exactly what you mean." With a cold snort, Tianhuo still insisted on continuing:
"However, it is indeed shameful for me to be sealed by my own people. It's laughable if word gets out. As for why I was sealed, it's all because of that brat Liuli. He tried to persuade me to join your human camp, but I refused. But just because I had some interaction with Liuli, some of the younger generation in the clan thought I had been convinced, so they attacked me."
But little did they know that I had already attained immortality. Those few brats thought they could defeat me? In the end, I walked in myself, and they sealed me here.”
"Did you seal yourself here yourself, senior?" Bai Hao asked, somewhat surprised.
"Otherwise what? Do you think those juniors can trap me? Hmph, if I wanted to, I could twist their heads off anytime." With a cold snort, Tianhuo's voice carried a hint of resentment.
"But why make things difficult for your own people? Anyway, I don't want to get involved at that time. Since they want to show off, let them do it. I'll just have some peace and quiet."
"But in the end, the Divine Phoenix Clan was wiped out," Bai Hao said slowly, adding a final, sharp remark.
As it turned out, Bai Hao's words had an effect.
The fire in the sky quieted down.
Even if he says he doesn't care what his clansmen do, it is still their Divine Phoenix Clan. No matter how much they cause trouble, the Divine Phoenix Clan is still the Divine Phoenix Clan.
Later, the Sun God led his cavalry to conquer the three divine beasts, and the Phoenix Clan was not spared either.
Faced with such a tragedy, Tianhuo could not remain indifferent.
"When Liuli first came to me, he had already obtained the Solar Lightning from the Primordial Flame." After a long silence, Tianhuo finally spoke slowly and hoarsely:
"He tried to lead humanity to conquer our three divine beasts, and asked me to lead the Phoenix Clan to join them. In this way, we would only need to deal with the True Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan to divide this continent."
But I knew this was just a trick of his. Putting aside the fact that the relationship between the three divine beasts was far stronger than that between humans, I didn't believe that Liuli could really lead humanity out of the darkness, given the solar lightning he obtained.
But in the end, Liuli spent a thousand years developing the power of the Sun's Thunder, bringing light to humanity and completely overthrowing the power of our three divine beasts.
Liuli himself established the Divine Origin Dynasty, calling himself the 'Sun God,' and wielding all the power of lightning in the world. At that time, after Liuli became the Sun God, he came here again. He wanted me to go with him to the Divine Origin Dynasty above the sun, to climb the Heavenly Ladder, to the Unspeakable, and to exist with him forever.
"The Heavenly Ladder?"
Bai Hao keenly caught those two words in Tianhuo's words.
How did Tianhuo know about the Heavenly Ladder?!
“That’s right, the Heavenly Ladder. The Heavenly Ladder wasn’t created by Liuli herself, but rather something you could understand from the Primordial Flame. Originally, Liuli placed the Heavenly Ladder in front of the Divine Origin Dynasty, but after he moved the Divine Origin Dynasty to the sun, the Heavenly Ladder disappeared without a trace,” Tianhuo said.
"You mean, you don't know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Ladder either?" Bai Hao frowned.
He finally got the information about the Heavenly Ladder again, but Tianhuo didn't know about it?
"How would I know? I've already told you I've been locked up here for over two thousand years without ever leaving. Even the Heavenly Ladder was something Liuli told me about; I've never even seen the real Heavenly Ladder myself," Tianhuo explained, somewhat amused and exasperated.
Upon receiving the definite information, Bai Hao couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
Seemingly sensing Bai Hao's change in mood, Tianhuo asked, "What? You want to find the Heavenly Ladder?"
"Yes." Bai Hao nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.
“Climbing the Heavenly Ladder is merely to take that final step and become the Unspeakable. Hmm… your current cultivation level is also at the peak of the Supreme Realm, so you are indeed about to come into contact with the Unspeakable. However, the path to the Unspeakable is by no means easy. In your current state, even if you find the Heavenly Ladder, you may not be able to complete it and become the Unspeakable,” Tianhuo said.
There was a deeper meaning in the numbering in his words.
"Senior, what you mean is..."
"I am at least a half-step into the Ineffable Realm. If I hadn't been imprisoned here for the past two thousand years, I would have already become the Ineffable Realm by now." A hint of pride lingered in Tianhuo's voice as he said this.
"The most important thing to achieve the ineffable is to find your own 'Tao'."
"road?"
“That’s right. Only by finding your own path, taking it as your unwavering belief, and believing in it steadfastly, and being willing to give everything to maintain it, can you find a glimmer of opportunity in the darkness,” Tianhuo said.
