Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Hearing this, Huang Lingshan smiled and nodded.

"There’s no doubt about that. Be it Yangnao Land or Danzhou, our inheritance simply cannot compare with those powerful small worlds around us."

"Back when I first stepped into Golden Core, I once chanced upon an Outer World Cultivator from the land of Qingqiu in Danzhou."

"From our conversation I realized that their division of cultivation realms, their understanding of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation and all other aspects, formed a rather complete system, utterly unlike us."

Liu Qixuan picked up the thread and said, "After Yangnao Land’s Dao collapses this time, if we are fortunate enough to survive, we will naturally have to deal with those Outer World Cultivators in the future."

"This old man also very much wishes to travel the other small worlds, to meet different cultivators and drink different fine wines."

After some casual chatting, seeing that there was nothing else to attend to, Huang Lingshan and the others did not linger.

Just like Shen Wen’an, they too had stayed in Dragon-slaying Valley for over a year.

Over this year or so, in order to maintain the expenditure of Spiritual Power in their bodies, they had taken a large amount of Elixirs, and a good deal of Pill poison had accumulated within them.

Liu Qixuan, for instance, had suffered serious injuries because his life-bound Magic Sword had been damaged, and would need to spend time in seclusion to recuperate.

After the few from Cyan Ruo Sword House left, Shen Li brought the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect to the Magma Lake in the city.

"Li’Er, you must be careful of that Fire Phoenix."

On the lotus platform in the middle of the Magma Lake, He Zhongyi’s face was solemn as he urged her.

They had all personally witnessed the terror of that Fire Phoenix back then, and feared that Shen Li might disturb it this time and provoke that beast into making a great havoc.

Shen Li gave a slight nod, then directly summoned the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect.

"Little Green, go."

As her voice sounded, the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect turned into a streak of green light and plunged headfirst into the Magma Lake below.

At the same time, deep within the Magma Lake, the enormous Golden Egg had already become almost fully transparent, with only the final thin layer remaining.

Within the Golden Egg, the former Fire Phoenix had by now nearly completed its transformation into the form of a Golden Phoenix, curled up inside and frantically drawing in energy, making its final charge.

Suddenly, the Fire Phoenix within the Golden Egg slowly opened its eyes, and two terrifying golden flames shot out from its pupils.

As the golden flames withdrew, a trace of doubt flashed in the Fire Phoenix’s eyes, and it muttered to itself, "The aura of a Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect?"

"How could such an Ancient Times fiend appear here?"

With a slight movement of thought, the Fire Phoenix immediately controlled the Golden Egg to slowly float upward through the magma.

But after rising only a few zhang, the Golden Egg suddenly stopped again.

"Forget it, forget it, best not provoke it..."

"That fiend was something even the gods feared in Ancient Times."

Muttering under its breath, the Fire Phoenix forcibly suppressed the curiosity in its heart and once more guided the Golden Egg to sink back to its original position.

Yet just because she did not wish to provoke the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect did not mean that the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect was willing to let her go.

In the magma above, Little Green, who was absorbing the Earth Fire Essence Qi, seemed to sense within the magma below a familiar aura that came from the depths of its soul.

In just an instant, this aura awakened the ancient bloodline within its body.

Feeling this, the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect left the surface of the Magma Lake and suddenly darted downward!

"Little Green!"

On the lotus platform, as the master of the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect, Shen Li could clearly sense its body abruptly diving toward the bottom of the Magma Lake. Her expression changed sharply, and she hastily urged her Divine Sense in an attempt to summon it back.

However, at this moment the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect had already dived into that layer of golden magma and noticed the Golden Egg formed by the Fire Phoenix.

"Zee—"

Seeing that Golden Egg, Little Green tilted its head slightly and let out a strange cry.

It was unclear whether it was greeting it or meant something else.

The Fire Phoenix within the Golden Egg noticed a hint of green not far away in the golden magma, and spoke, somewhat nervous:

"You... what are you going to do?"

Little Green let out another strange cry, then suddenly darted forward and came close.

Seeing this, the Fire Phoenix immediately controlled the Golden Egg to rapidly retreat several zhang.

Yet Little Green darted again, chasing after it and diving down, maintaining less than one zhang between them.

After several such exchanges, the Fire Phoenix in the Golden Egg understood that it could not escape.

It could only force itself to sound fierce while weak within, and said, "What exactly do you want?"

Compared with it, the inch-long Little Green was like an ant to a giant elephant.

Even so, the Fire Phoenix did not dare look down on it in the slightest, for the bloodline of the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect was on par with the Ancestral Dragon and Primordial Phoenix among Ancient Divine Beasts, belonging to the ranks of top-tier fiends.

"Zee—"

Little Green tilted its head again and let out a strange cry.

The Fire Phoenix stared at it, a kind of tearless frustration welling up in its heart.

She could not make heads or tails of it, nor understand what purpose this little thing had in chasing her.

She originally did not wish to pay it any mind, but at such close distance, the ancient fiend bloodline aura unique to the other party made her feel as if she were sitting on needles, extremely uncomfortable.

The two sides thus stared each other down—big eyes to small—for a long time, until the Fire Phoenix finally could not bear it anymore.

She had faintly guessed what this Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect was eyeing her for.

A trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, then, extremely reluctantly, she forced out a wisp of faint golden-red flame from her body.

"I’ll give you a strand; now hurry up and leave!"

That golden-red flame emerged from the Golden Egg, spreading a dense Power of Life through the surrounding magma.

When the inch-long Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect saw that golden-red flame, it seemed delighted and immediately turned into a streak of green light, pouncing onto it.

As its body fused with that golden-red flame, the tiny body of the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect was instantly scorched to the point of crackling and popping.
