Li Daoyi left Jianglong and Kong Xuan outside, while he carried Mengmeng and flew down into the crater.
The little guy was being held by Li Daoyi, blinking his big eyes and sniffing around with his little nose.
As the temperature rose, the two arrived in front of the burning paulownia tree. This paulownia tree looked very similar to the Fusang divine tree on the Sun Star. Both were spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and both were divine trees of the fire attribute.
The only difference is that the Fusang Divine Tree absorbs the true fire of the sun, while the Wutong absorbs the primordial earth fire.
The crimson trunk and fiery red sycamore leaves burned even more intensely as the two arrived.
"Chirp..."
The flames formed a fire phoenix and attacked the two of them.
Li Daoyi waved his hand, and an energy shield isolated himself from the surrounding area, causing the fire phoenix to dissipate.
She landed gently on the ground formed by lava, the scorching lava unable to harm her in the slightest. Mengmeng also jumped down from Li Daoyi's arms, her bare feet ignoring the boiling lava, and walked towards the sycamore tree as if playing in the river.
Li Daoyi and Mengmeng walked up to the sycamore tree and reached out to touch it.
"Splash..."
The sycamore tree suddenly began to sway.
Suddenly, many fiery red orbs of light flew out from the tall tree. There were probably more than a hundred of these orbs, which danced around the sycamore tree, then hovered in the air, and disappeared back into the tree after they could no longer sense the two people.
"Eeya." Mengmeng looked at the sycamore tree with curiosity, and for some reason felt a sense of familiarity with the atmosphere here.
"What's wrong?" Li Daoyi reached out and touched Mengmeng's little head.
"Hmm, I think I've seen this tree before," Mengmeng said, tilting her head.
"It seems different again," the little guy continued.
Li Daoyi looked at Mengmeng with some confusion. This magical child had most likely seen this thing in another world, and this wasn't the first time he had suspected Mengmeng. However, Li Daoyi didn't take it to heart. Some things would be answered one day.
"Can you feel it? The thing down there," Li Daoyi said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, there's a big bird hiding down there." Mengmeng nodded quickly.
Immediately afterwards, Li Dao made a hand seal, squatted down, and inserted his hand directly into the scalding magma, and a surge of energy instantly entered it.
"boom..."
The volcano then trembled slightly.
"Coo coo coo coo..."
One after another, magma bubbles emerged, and then the magma inside the entire volcano began to boil.
"Puff puff puff..."
The once calm volcano suddenly became lively, with countless magma erupting.
"Hiss..." Outside the volcano, the immortal volcano shook violently. Jianglong and Kong Xuan couldn't help but gasp when they saw this magnificent scene. They felt the scorching temperature and quickly retreated.
"It's about to erupt." The two exchanged a glance, and Kong Xuan couldn't help but say. There was a hint of worry in his eyes. Once the immortal volcano erupted, the entire South China Sea and even the prehistoric world would be devastated.
"Don't worry," Jianglong comforted him. He knew Li Daoyi's abilities, and he knew even more about Mengmeng's capabilities.
Sure enough, the little guy gently blew a breath around the volcano.
The previously restless volcano quieted down, and although the lava continued to churn, it showed no signs of erupting.
"Great job." Li Daoyi stood up and pinched the little guy's chubby cheeks.
"Hehe..." Mengmeng laughed triumphantly.
Then Li Daoyi flew to the surrounding areas of the volcano and, just like before, inserted his hands into the magma, channeling energy into them one by one.
This was repeated nine times, with energy being infused into each of the nine locations, before returning to the base of the sacred parasol tree.
Just then, the lava in front of the sycamore tree gradually bulged up, as if something was about to come out, one surge after another, as if trying to break free from some kind of restraint.
Li Daoyi frowned slightly, then gave a cold laugh.
“Hongjun, you are truly despicable, you even added another layer of seal to her,” Li Daoyi said.
Yuan Feng chose to suppress the Undying Volcano. Logically, after activating the formation within the volcano, Yuan Feng should have awakened and been able to escape immediately. However, it has now been discovered that Yuan Feng has been sealed by someone else. It is likely that Hongjun did this on his own because he was worried that Yuan Feng might change his mind and break free one day.
Sure enough, a strange energy suddenly appeared around the volcano. This energy gathered into a huge Tai Chi symbol and pressed down on Yuan Feng, Li Daoyi, and Mengmeng from mid-air.
"Mengmeng." Li Daoyi patted the little guy's head.
"Hehe." Mengmeng licked her lips and chuckled.
She opened her small mouth towards the air and gently inhaled.
"call out..."
The Tai Chi symbol instantly transformed into white energy and flew towards Mengmeng, where it was inhaled.
In just a few breaths, the energy that had been maintaining the seal vanished instantly, and the protrusion that had just been suppressed by the seal became active again.
"Great!" Li Daoyi praised.
"I can eat as much as you want," the little guy said proudly.
The two then looked at the protrusion, which was getting higher and higher. The surrounding magma spread outwards from the top of the protrusion, and a ball of fiery red light broke free from the protrusion.
"Chirp..."
With a deafening cry, a cluster of bright red feathers appeared first, like a crown, followed by a huge phoenix head emerging from the lava.
"Mother." Kong Xuan knelt down in excitement.
"Chirp..."
Another clear cry rang out, and then the phoenix's entire body emerged from the scorching lava.
The golden feathers shimmered in the sunlight, each one like a meticulously crafted work of art, radiating a unique brilliance.
Its wings are broad and magnificent, like a beautiful cloak, and when they are spread out, their beauty is breathtaking.
Its eyes are crystal clear, like the infinitely deep universe, full of wisdom and profound beauty.
Its mouth is slightly upturned, exuding confidence and nobility, making people hesitant to approach it rashly.
Its posture is majestic and composed, showing no lack of confidence and self-respect, and is full of extraordinary power and beauty.
This is Yuan Feng, the first phoenix in the world, a true phoenix.
The body, thousands of feet tall, gave off an extremely strong sense of oppression. Yuan Feng, who had just escaped, looked around in a daze.
"Wow...what a big bird!" Mengmeng exclaimed, her round eyes wide open.
Yuan Feng lowered her head slightly and saw the two tiny figures under the paulownia tree, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Then she raised her head again, looked at the sky, her phoenix eyes narrowed, spread her wings, and with a gust of wind, Yuan Feng soared into the sky.
"Chirp..."
High above, the cry of a phoenix shattered the heavens, and was heard throughout the entire primordial world.
"Damn, so flashy?" Li Daoyi shook his head helplessly.
Then he picked up Mengmeng and flew out of the crater.
"Chirp..."
Yuanfeng cried out again.
"Alright, alright, that's enough. Come with me and leave this place." Li Daoyi shouted to Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng looked at Li Daoyi with a puzzled expression, seemingly not fully awake yet, as if everything that had just happened was merely her instinct.
"Speechless. Mengmeng, get her down," Li Daoyi said.
"Okay." Mengmeng nodded, and waved her little hand towards the Yuanfeng in the sky. An invisible energy appeared around the Yuanfeng.
Sensing danger, Yuanfeng hurriedly flapped its wings to try to break free, but it was no use. As the energy bound it, Yuanfeng's body slowly shrank. In the shocked gazes of Kong Xuan and Jianglong, the once domineering Yuanfeng shrank to the size of a palm and was directly grabbed by Mengmeng.
Ignoring the two who were in a daze, Li Dao grabbed Jianglong and Kong Xuan with one hand each.
"Let's go back," Li Daoyi said to Mengmeng.
With a wave of his hand, the little guy caused a ripple in space, and the four of them vanished instantly.
Shortly after they disappeared, spatial fluctuations began to appear around the Undying Volcano, followed by the appearance of several figures.
Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti appeared simultaneously.
The six people stared in shock at the immortal volcano, at the now-cooled crater, a huge crater, indicating that everything inside had vanished.
"This...how is this possible?" Yuan Shi said, looking at the volcano with a shocked expression.
Tai Shang looked around at the people around him, then shook his head. They had all appeared at roughly the same time, so it meant that it wasn't these people who did it.
“That shouldn’t be the case. Who has such great abilities? If I remember correctly, there is the Dao Ancestor’s mark below, which even we cannot easily open,” said the Sage of Reception.
At this moment, Nuwa glanced at Tongtian and saw a smile on his face. Although it was fleeting, she still noticed it. Nuwa immediately understood that this must have been done by that person.
Tongtian was overjoyed and increasingly admired Li Daoyi, who had even managed to rescue Yuan Feng.
"Junior brother, do you know who has such great abilities?" Yuanshi asked Tongtian.
“Perhaps she escaped on her own. Don’t forget Yuan Feng’s power. Although she’s not a saint, I still remember how powerful she was back then. So many years have passed, the seal is very likely to have weakened. Didn’t you see? The volcano didn’t erupt, which means that she has absorbed most of the fire-type laws inside,” Tongtian said.
Apart from the Supreme Elder, the others nodded in agreement, seemingly in favor of the explanation. Compared to Yuan Feng, they were merely juniors. Back then, they had to bow to Yuan Feng, so it was hard to say that she possessed some special means to escape the volcano.
"Senior brother, with the great calamity imminent and Yuan Feng suddenly freed, could something unexpected happen?" Yuan Shi asked Tai Shang.
"No," the Supreme Lord suddenly said in a deep voice.
Both China and Russia looked at the Supreme Lord in surprise.
“She didn’t escape on her own; someone intervened,” Tai said with a grave expression.
"How is that possible? Who has such great abilities?" Zhunti exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't you all think it's too much of a coincidence?" the Supreme Lord said.
"Why now of all times? Why not earlier or later?"
For a moment, everyone fell silent, staring blankly at the immortal volcano below, feeling as if a dark cloud had appeared on the primordial land.
