"Your future holds the opportunity to surpass him."

The Great Palace Master carefully surveyed the young girl before him, saying, "The Great Dao of Karmic Fire and Lotus... can integrate into one, or complement each other."

This is fate.

So many geniuses have fallen here.

"Do I have a chance for ’Harmonization’?"

A trace of self-mockery flickered in Jiang Huang’s eyes.

Many years ago, she also considered herself a genius.

But the path she walked was far too rough, filled with obstacles.

Now she seems unrelated to the word ’genius.’

Though this flesh body is young, the soul within has existed for two lifetimes, and is no longer young.

"Of course you do."

The Great Palace Master smiled slightly, saying, "However... you need to completely remove the trace of residual soul in your Divine Sea. With this soul present, your Dao Condensation will become extremely difficult, and as for the already faint hope of Harmonization, it’s not even worth considering."

The conditions for Harmonization are extremely stringent, allowing no room for error.

Jiang Huang’s Divine Sea is not stable.

Occasionally.

That immature Divine Soul would appear, briefly occupying the body.

"Hmm..."

Jiang Huang rubbed her forehead, looking somewhat distressed.

She had thought about directly eliminating this soul within her.

But...

Due to the Nine Death Forbidden, the two Divine Souls have almost melded together, inseparable. The best method she could think of was to suppress it.

In crucial moments.

Who knows if that foolish immature soul would suddenly appear causing chaos?

If she were seized of her flesh body while promoting to Yang God...

The consequences Jiang Huang dared not imagine.

"Great Palace Master."

During their conversation, a guest arrived at the Phoenix Fire Cave Heaven.

This is the deepest forbidden place of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, and only a handful have the privilege to enter.

The arrival was Chi Fu Dragon Lord.

Clad in a red magic robe, the hurried Chi Fu Dragon Lord clearly came with important matters, but upon seeing Jiang Huang, he immediately slowed down.

"Chi Fu, you came at just the right time."

The Great Palace Master smiled and gestured for Chi Fu Dragon Lord to approach: "Jiang Huang has just comprehended the ’Lotus Dao Realm.’ In the Great Dao River, this Dao Realm has significant ties with the ’Annihilation Dao Realm.’ You have deeply studied the ’Annihilation Dao Realm.’ Come, sit, and explain the Great Dao to help her consolidate her Dao Intent comprehension."

"Great Palace Master..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s expression turned peculiar.

If it were before.

He would promptly sit down and begin preaching.

But today, Chi Fu stood before the sea of fire, sighed softly, and said word by word: "Something happened outside."

"Hmm?"

The Great Palace Master squinted slightly.

Rarely did he see Chi Fu Dragon Lord with such an expression.

"What is it?"

Keeping his composure, the Great Palace Master remained calm and unhurried.

"..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord maintained his stance, looking at Jiang Huang, his message unmistakably clear.

This information is vital. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

There is an outsider here.

Jiang Huang was sensible, standing up to leave.

A trace of Divine Thought descended from the void, stopping her.

"No need."

The Great Palace Master shook his head.

"Jiang Huang has already promoted to Yin God."

The Great Palace Master looked at Chi Fu Dragon Lord, saying calmly: "During these times in Phoenix Fire Cave Heaven, she completed all trials with outstanding performance... In a few days, I will proclaim to the world that the new Throne of Heavenly Phoenix Palace is born."

No need for further words.

Jiang Huang is not an outsider; all messages can be spoken directly.

"...I understand."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s expression became even more complex upon hearing the news.

From the moment the Great Palace Master decided to bring Jiang Huang back...

He vaguely guessed this day would arrive.

This position was originally reserved for his disciple "Xuan Jin," only to ultimately hand it over to another after so many years.

"A major event occurred at Li Lan Mountain."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord recounted the happening at Li Lan Mountain in detail.

"Cheng Er disappeared, Xuan Jin lost contact..."

The Great Palace Master frowned, coldly stating: "Cheng Er’s disappearance is a small issue. How did Xuan Jin lose contact?"

To Heavenly Phoenix Palace, Cheng Er is merely a chess piece.

If this chess player dies unexpectedly, Heavenly Phoenix Palace’s only task would be to replace him with a new chess player.

But Xuan Jin is different.

Although leaving the Throne to Jiang Huang, Xuan Jin’s position in the Great Palace Master’s mind is not low.

This is a Great Divine Ability User who can uplift the entire Heavenly Phoenix Palace in the future.

Xuan Jin must not die.

"Luckily, both their Life Lamps are still lit, not extinguished. They have suffered a calamity but retained their lives."

"As for what happened... I used Divine Skills to see fragmented and scattered images."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord gritted his teeth, using his Divine Soul to recreate the Snow Mountain scene. Before departing, he handed Xuan Jin a soul order. Although this soul order’s influence is vague, it captured the "visitor’s" appearance and attire. Amidst the heavy snowfall, a rough Great Demon clad in blood-red armor pierced through, heavily stepping on Xuan Jin’s chest as he fled, controlling his sword.

Then the image shattered, indicating the soul was crushed.

This brief and blurred image, flickering for a mere instant, coated the Great Palace Master’s expression in shadow.

"If I’m not mistaken..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord strained to speak the name: "The two of them encountered Mo Zhen’s ambush."

"Mo Zhen?"

The Great Palace Master’s voice was hoarse.

He hadn’t heard this name in a very, very, very long time.

"Yes..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord stated each word with utmost difficulty, "Mo Zhen is indeed still alive. The worst part is, his target is not Xuan Jin, but... Sun Erosion..."

"Not long ago, Erosion Sun Swamp was enveloped by the Heavenly Dog abnormality."

"But three days later, the abnormality was prematurely dismissed."

"The dark children I sent lost all contact on their way to the Great Marsh. No one knows what truly transpired within Erosion Sun Swamp, but if the soul order Xuan Jin carried is accurate, then the chaos at Li Lan Mountain ultimately points to Erosion Sun Swamp."

"You mean..."

The Great Palace Master gazed at Chi Fu Dragon Lord, hoarsely asking, "Mo Zhen appeared this time to kill Sun Erosion?"

The previous image conveyed significant information.

He definitely did not see wrong.

After being hidden for so many years, Mo Zhen, though successfully reincarnated, was only at the Yin God Realm.

"Yes..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord said quietly, "That red armor body we just saw, none of us have ever seen. It might be Pure Yang Dao Intent, starkly opposing Yin Erosion Dao Intent."

With these words.

Phoenix Fire Cave Heaven entered a prolonged silence.

Even Jiang Huang understood the implications of his words.

"Harmonization?"

The girl grinned, pondering aloud, "I said, such things are impossible for a normal person. But if it’s Mo Zhen... maybe he truly can achieve it."

"Sun Erosion has been engaged in alchemy all these years..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord continued: "It’s said that his pill is nearly finished."

Screech!

The Great Palace Master was unsettled as he rose, appearing coldly determined, extending his hand to shatter the void. Relying on his exceptionally powerful Divine Sea Realm, he issued Divine Thought searching for anchor points around Erosion Sun Swamp.

He prepared to directly cross the void in his flesh body.

But alas.

Everything was already too late.

"Great Palace Master!"

"Great Palace Master!!!"

Outside Phoenix Fire Cave Heaven, a second figure descended like a long rainbow.

Wu Jiu, draped in golden battle armor, looked pale, his lips devoid of blood color.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Suddenly, an abnormality erupted from Erosion Sun Swamp! Within a hundred-mile radius, all demon spirits... their blood qi was completely drained!"

Crack!

With these words.

The Great Palace Master’s hand, reaching into the void, abruptly halted.

His Heart Lake thudded, premonitions stirring within him.

Erosion Sun Swamp stands as its own realm.

This unusual occurrence clearly signals Sun Eater Venerable’s desperate move!

The blood qi of all demon spirits within the Great Marsh was absorbed. What terrifying Divine Skills does Sun Erosion plan on using for a life-or-death struggle?

"The entire Great Marsh has transformed into a wasteland."

Wu Jiu gritted his teeth, stating: "Most importantly, the long-hovering Black Sun above the Great Marsh has just... fallen."
