Wei Yang finished retracting his energy and rose to his feet. On the other side, Xiao Yan’s figure flickered, and he appeared beside them as well. They both smiled and cupped their fists in return to Yao Ming and the Elders’ congratulations.

As for the tattered robes they had been wearing earlier, the moment they stepped out of the energy mist, the Dou Qi within their bodies had already automatically condensed into a new robe over their skin.

At their level, a single thought was enough for Dou Qi to transform into anything. Clothing was naturally nothing difficult. After all, even at the Dou Shi level there was the Dou Qi Cloak, and at the Da Dou Shi level, there was the Dou Qi Armor.

So, cultivators would never end up running around naked unless it was a very special situation.

”Cai Lin and Sister-in-law are still cultivating,” Xiao Yan said.

Both men lowered their gazes toward the bottom of the abyss where the Nine Serene Spring roiled.

With their perception, they could clearly sense the endless icy Yin energy within the Nine Serene Spring surging like a tide toward the two enormous beings deep below.

Those two enormous beings were naturally Medusa in her Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python form, and Qing Lin in her Nine-Headed Serpent form. Of course, a portion of that energy was also flowing toward another smaller target: Ah Da.

Wei Yang’s gaze pierced through the obstruction of space and water, landing on Ah Da roughly ten meters beneath the surface.

The pitch-black mass wrapped around Ah Da’s body was gently wriggling as it greedily absorbed the chilling Nine Serene Wind Flame. Sensing Wei Yang’s gaze, it trembled faintly.

Ah Da’s brow twitched as though he intended to open his eyes.

”No need to divide your concentration. Continue cultivating with focus, strive to break through as soon as possible. Xiao Yan and I are leaving, so I’m letting you know,” Wei Yang’s voice echoed softly in Ah Da’s mind.

Upon hearing this, Ah Da gave a slight nod to show he understood before sinking back into silent cultivation. Wei Yang and Xiao Yan withdrew their gazes from the Nine Serene Spring.

”Patriarch Yao Ming, how are things on the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan’s side?” Xiao Yan asked.

At the question, the faint smile on Yao Ming’s face receded slightly, and he replied in a deep tone, ”According to the information I’ve received, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan will, within these next few days, send experts into the depths of the Void Space to assist the Three Dragon Islands.”

”So they really plan to get involved after all?” Xiao Yan chuckled lightly.

”These feathered bastards would never miss such an opportunity,” Wei Yang said with his hands clasped behind his back, letting out a cold snort. He wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

Forget the benefits promised by the Three Dragon Islands — even without being offered anything, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan would never pass up such a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

After all, they had been mortal enemies of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan since the days of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. Their conflict had lasted from ancient times until now.

With such a perfect chance to strike while the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was weakened, how could they possibly let it go?

Ideally, they hoped the Ancient Dragons would completely collapse after this. Even if the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan had to pay a price, it would be worth it.

What was more surprising was the Three Dragon Islands. For victory, they were willing to do anything — even committing to such a self-destructive act as inviting an external enemy to interfere in their own clan’s internal war.

”Two years ago, for the sake of stability, we paid two Bodhisattva Seeds to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. I didn’t expect we’d be facing them again this soon,” Xiao Yan said, shaking his head.

”Yeah, fighting them was unavoidable in the end,” Wei Yang exhaled lightly.

Xiao Yan laughed bitterly.

He seemed fated to clash with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. Ever since arriving in Central Plains, he had constantly found himself in conflict with them. No matter how he tried to avoid them, they always crossed paths.

Still, those two Bodhisattva Seeds weren’t a total loss.

At the very least, they bought Falling Star Pavilion more than two years of peaceful development — a critically important period. Of course, they also obtained a Golden Phoenix Flame.

”How many experts are the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan sending this time?” Wei Yang asked.

”This time, most of the experts the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan is sending out are at the Dou Zun level. Among them, the ones we truly need to watch out for are only three.”

”These three are all Supreme Elders of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and in the Magic Beast World, every one of them is infamous,” Yao Ming said, his expression turning somewhat grave.

”How strong are they?” Wei Yang raised a brow.

”These three Supreme Elders are known as the Three Demon Phoenixes — Feng Huang, Kun Huang, and Ying Huang,” Yao Ming explained.

”Among them, Feng Huang is a mid Two-Star Dou Sheng, Kun Huang is a late One-Star, and Ying Huang is a mid One-Star.”

”Sending three Dou Sheng in one move — the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan really went all out!” Upon hearing this, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan’s expressions both changed slightly.

To deploy three Dou Sheng at once... the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan’s foundation was truly terrifying. This wasn’t even their full strength. Their clan leader hadn’t moved — he was still sitting in their nest observing the situation.

This alone showed how powerful the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan was. Over the years, these feathered bastards had really been hiding their strength, accumulating a terrifying amount of power.

Among the three great clans of the magic beast World, apart from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan was unquestionably the king.

By comparison, the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan looked like they were just filling in numbers. Ever since Yao Xiaotian died, their entire clan had only two Dou Sheng.

Now, their Great Elder was still being suppressed and sealed — leaving only Yao Ming alone to barely hold things together. In terms of high-end combat power, they couldn’t even compare to Falling Star Pavilion.

”Your Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan... seems a little weak, huh,” Xiao Yan couldn’t help commenting.

Hearing this, Yao Ming and the Elders all wore embarrassed expressions.

”Your strategy going forward will need some adjustments. You can’t rely solely on numbers — you have to pay attention to quality. Quality will always be the true king, especially for magic beasts like you, who rely heavily on bloodline purity,” Wei Yang said thoughtfully.

”Look at the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. They always rely on quality, not numbers.”

”Even the human Ancient Clans valued and strictly regulated their own bloodlines. The price of mass reproduction is the inevitable dilution of bloodlines.”

”For magic beasts like you, once you lose your bloodline advantage, you’ll be no different from ordinary wild beasts.”

”Mm, we really do need to pay more attention to bloodline management,” Yao Ming nodded.

Over the years, under Yao Xiaotian’s lax attitude, their population had exploded — growing wildly like weeds. In such circumstances, the bloodline became thinner and thinner. It was an unavoidable outcome.

With so many numbers, their clan’s cultivation resources were extremely scattered. Every year, some serpent clans were eliminated and expelled from the Underground Serene Snake Network, forced to survive outside on their own.

Medusa’s clan, for example, had originally migrated away from the Beast Region, wandering until they eventually settled in the Tagore Desert.

But that was merely a temporary solution — it didn’t fix the core issue of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Clan: their bloodline was being diluted at an alarming rate.

”At the very least, the purity and concentration of our royal bloodline must be guaranteed. We must implement strict control,” Yao Ming said sternly to the Elders.

”Otherwise, if we continue like this, no matter how strong our bloodline used to be, it’ll eventually be diluted to nothing. When that day comes, our clan will be finished!”

”Yes!” the Elders quickly nodded, wiping cold sweat from their foreheads.
