"Everyone, please lend me a hand, I need to perform some calculations," the Supreme Lord said, looking at the Undying Volcano.
The other six sages couldn't help but look at the Supreme Lord.
“Alright,” Yuanshi replied first. Then, with a wave of his right hand, a surge of energy flowed into Taishang’s body.
“Senior brother, the two of us will assist you,” Jieyin said.
The two Western Saints then transferred their magical power into the Supreme Being's body.
Nuwa frowned slightly, intending to refuse, but when she looked up, she met Tongtian's gaze. Tongtian gave her a reassuring look.
“Of course it is possible,” Tongtian said softly, and then transferred his magic power to Taishang.
Nuwa also poured her magic power into Taishang.
The Supreme Being's powerful magic surged into the sky, and the surrounding sea seemed to freeze at that moment. The five people stood around the Supreme Being, and a continuous stream of magic power flowed towards him.
Taishang then sat cross-legged in mid-air, with the Eight Trigrams appearing around him, and began to perform divination with his fingers.
A surge of energy emanated from Tai Shang and flowed down towards the Immortal Volcano below, instantly enveloping the entire crater in a pale blue glow.
"Retreat..." The Supreme One suddenly released his hand, pointed downwards, and then shouted.
"Chirp..."
A phoenix cry rang out, and the group looked up to see a huge phoenix phantom appear in the sky. This was the scene when Yuan Feng broke free and flew into the sky.
Looking at that enormous and rapidly awe-inspiring figure, the group seemed to have returned to ancient times.
However, at this moment, the phoenix phantom suddenly stopped and remained motionless in the air.
"Retreat again..." the Supreme One whispered again.
The phoenix in the sky then retreated along the trajectory it had taken to fly into the air; this was a supernatural power that allowed it to travel back in time.
Their gazes followed Yuan Feng's body as it slowly descended, but just as Yuan Feng was about to reach the crater, the phantom of Yuan Feng exploded.
"Bang..."
"Pfft..." Tai Shang spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale instantly.
"Senior brother." Yuanshi and the others quickly withdrew their magical power.
"Pfft..." Taishang spat out another mouthful of blood. At this moment, Yuanshi had already arrived at his side and reached out to support him.
"Backlash? How could this be?" Jieyin said in a daze.
“In the past, even if we couldn’t predict it, it never backfired. How could this be?” Yuanshi asked.
As sages, they have the ability to divine the future. Although other sages can conceal the secrets of heaven, or some magical treasures can conceal the secrets of heaven, at most they cannot continue to predict. This is the first time they have encountered a situation like today, where there was a beginning but it came to an abrupt end and they suffered a backlash.
Tai Shang calmed down slightly, and his pale complexion gradually returned to normal.
"Did you hear that?" Taishang asked.
"Uh..." The five people looked at each other, not understanding what he was talking about.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Yuan Shi asked.
The Supreme Lord immediately frowned.
"I think I just heard a child's laughter," Taishang said thoughtfully.
"Children's laughter?"
Yuanshi Tianzun and the two Western Saints were completely bewildered, while Tongtian and Nuwa simultaneously conjured up the image of Mengmeng's adorable little face in their minds.
“Indeed, that sound disturbed me,” Taishang nodded and said.
The group was shocked to hear this. They knew that the combined strength of the six people was immense, yet it had been broken by a single laugh.
"Sigh... I can't understand it anymore," Taishang sighed softly.
“Senior Brother Taishang, why don’t we go find our teacher?” Jieyin said.
After thinking for a while, Taishang finally shook his head.
“Our teacher said that without his summons, we must not disturb him during the Investiture of the Gods,” Yuanshi said.
"Leave Yuan Feng aside for now, Junior Brother. You need to arrange the Conferred Gods matter as soon as possible. We need to hurry. I suspect that an unknown force has already gotten involved. I'm afraid that Yuan Feng was also rescued by them. I just don't know what methods they used that are so strange." Taishang said in a deep voice.
"I am already making preparations. In a few days, all my disciples will arrive in Xiqi," Yuanshi said in a deep voice.
After speaking, Yuanshi looked at Tongtian, seemingly observing his expression, but Tongtian remained completely unmoved.
“Tongtian, as far as I know, your Jie Sect disciples have intricate connections with the Great Shang Dynasty. Don’t blame my disciples later,” Yuanshi then said.
"Hahaha, of course not. Since I have already signed the Investiture of the Gods, I will definitely accept the result." Tongtian laughed heartily.
Seeing Tongtian so pleased was somewhat unexpected for Yuanshi. He had thought Tongtian would mock him, but he was surprised by Tongtian's calm demeanor.
Yuanshi had no idea how delighted Tongtian was; he had been waiting for these people to fall into his trap.
“Brother Yuanshi, if there is anything I can do to help you in the West, please let me know,” Jieyin said.
"Thank you." Yuanshi nodded.
The group then disappeared without lingering, tearing open spaces and vanishing from sight. The previously still sea began to churn again, and the strange phenomena in the sky disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
However, the phoenix's cry was heard throughout the entire prehistoric world, and some powerful beings understood that the phoenix had escaped its confinement. Countless people flew towards the Undying Volcano, but like the few saints, they returned empty-handed.
Mount Putuo, Mount Luojia.
"Giggle..."
"The old man vomited blood."
Mengmeng came up to Li Daoyi and showed off.
She was the one who interrupted the Supreme Being's divine power just now.
"Great job," Li Daoyi said, pinching the little guy's cheek.
At this moment, the others gathered together, and in the middle of them was a transparent energy ball, inside which was Yuan Feng imprisoned.
"Is this the phoenix?" Saitama leaned his bald head closer to examine it closely.
“It seems so, even more so than the portrait I saw.” Ji Fa also curiously leaned closer.
Kong Xuan was somewhat embarrassed at this moment, as he couldn't accept that his mother was being watched like this.
He gave a bitter laugh and knelt down before Li Daoyi once more.
"Senior, please release my mother," Kong Xuan said.
"Get up. You were forced to do it just now because of the circumstances. Those sages were almost there," Li Daoyi said, helping Kong Xuan up.
He then glanced at Mengmeng, and the little guy understood immediately. He reached out his little hand towards the energy shield, which instantly disappeared, and Yuan Feng was grabbed by Mengmeng.
"boom..."
Suddenly, raging flames erupted from Yuan Feng's body, and Jianglong and the others quickly retreated.
"Be good, okay? Don't move around." Mengmeng ignored the flame in her hand and pouted as she spoke.
The miniature Yuan Feng struggled slightly, its eyes filled with a hint of fear, as it looked up at its surroundings.
"Yuanfeng, don't be nervous, we rescued you," Li Daoyi said softly.
Then Mengmeng let go of her little hand, and Yuanfeng flapped its wings and flew into the air. A flash of red light appeared, and an incomparably beautiful woman gradually revealed herself. It was Yuanfeng.
Dressed in a fiery red gown and wearing a golden crown, her stunningly beautiful face showed a hint of surprise as she slowly descended from the sky.
"Mother."
Kong Xuan rushed over and knelt down on the ground.
Yuan Feng stared at Kong Xuan for a moment, then seemed to realize something.
"You are Xuan'er." A beautiful voice rang out.
"It's me, Mother, I'm Kong Xuan." Kong Xuan nodded quickly, and then her body began to change, and a beautiful peacock appeared.
"Wow..."
When Mengmeng saw the peacock, she cheered and pounced on it, grabbing its neck.
Li Daoyi shook his head helplessly, stepped forward, and pulled the little guy down.
Yuan Feng hugged the peacock in front of her tightly, and tears instantly streamed down her face. It was a truly touching scene.
"Amitabha." Wutian clasped his hands together.
"Excellent, excellent." Guanyin also put her hands together and showed a kind expression.
"The most touching thing in this world is family affection," Li Daoyi said slowly.
Jianglong and the others nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Ji Fa couldn't help but think of his father and elder brother in Xiqi, and he lowered his head in disappointment.
After a while, Kong Xuan whispered something to Yuan Feng, and Yuan Feng walked towards Li Daoyi and bowed to him.
"Thank you for saving me, senior."
"We can simply address each other as fellow Daoists," Li Daoyi said with a smile.
"Yes, thank you, fellow Daoist," Yuan Feng replied, changing her words.
"It seems you've actually benefited from the misfortune at the Undying Volcano all these years. Not only have you refined the previous malevolent energy, but you've also reached the peak of the half-step Primordial Chaos realm, just one step away from the Great Dao," Li Daoyi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. So what if he was only half a step into the Hunyuan realm? He was just as easily controlled by you as a little chick.
Thinking of this, Yuan Feng looked at Mengmeng, who was being held in Li Daoyi's hands. It was this child who had imprisoned her before.
Mengmeng blinked her big eyes at Yuanfeng and said, her big eyes darting around.
"I feel like I've seen you before."
"You've seen me before?" Yuan Feng was taken aback. In her memory, she had never seen this child before.
"Mmm, I feel so familiar with your scent." The little guy nodded.
"Alright, what are your plans next?" Li Daoyi asked, changing the subject.
“The Phoenix Clan is gone, and this is no longer my era. I have thought a lot about this under the volcano for so many years. No matter who won or lost back then, we would all be abandoned by heaven and earth. It’s just a pity for those clansmen, alas…” Yuan Feng sighed softly.
“Mother, now that the great calamity has begun again, why don’t you come back to Chaoge with me?” Kong Xuan said.
"Chaoge?" Yuan Feng asked doubtfully.
Kong Xuan then gave Yuan Feng a general account of what happened in the prehistoric world after the Dragon-Han Calamity.
"I never imagined so many things would happen. The great calamity of the Lich King, the human race, and even the little girl Nuwa has become a saint," Yuan Feng exclaimed in amazement.
"Speaking of which, this child once wanted to become my disciple, but the war was intense at the time, and I didn't want her to get involved in our struggle. I never expected that she would become a saint. She's truly remarkable," Yuan Feng continued to praise.
“Alright, then I’ll go with you to the human realm,” Yuan Feng said.
Kong Xuan was overjoyed and couldn't help but look at Li Daoyi.
"Welcome, Zhizhi." Li Daoyi smiled. His side had gained another powerful fighter.
