Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Upon hearing this, both of them were somewhat puzzled.

Shen Wen’an explained, ”The Nascent Soul elder from Danzhou instructed our Shen Family to look after the Western Wilderness Barbarian Race.”

”Go ahead.”

He Zhongyi and Shen Xiuyun cupped their hands without asking more and directly led their men outside the city.

Magma Lake.

When Shen Wen’an and Wei Qiuling arrived, they were astonished to find the Fire Phoenix, who had been hiding at the bottom of the Magma Lake, lying on a lotus platform at the lake’s surface.

After a complete transformation, the Fire Phoenix was covered in exquisite gold and red feathers. Its massive body lay on the lotus platform, with its tail feathers naturally falling into the magma lake below, like a blazing waterfall, radiating splendor.

Feeling its noble and elegant aura, Wei Qiuling couldn’t help but praise, ”Is this the embodiment of the Innate Spirit?”

”It’s so beautiful...”

Just as she finished speaking, Shen Wen’an, who had reached the Magma Lake, looked at the destroyed Artifact Refining Workshops around him, and with a calm face, released a sharp Sword Aura.

Bang!

The Sword Aura was extremely fast, slashing the Fire Phoenix on its behind in the blink of an eye.

”Ah!”

”Who dared to hit me...”

The Fire Phoenix, who had been lounging comfortably on the lotus platform, was suddenly awakened by this attack and fluttered its wings, standing up angrily.

But when it saw Shen Wen’an on the edge of the Magma Lake with a calm expression, it swallowed the rest of its words.

Its eyes, like red rubies, spun around twice before it fluttered its wings excitedly and started to laugh oddly.

”Human boy, your cultivation... haha...”

It seemed to have sensed only the Spiritual Power fluctuations of the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing from Shen Wen’an, feeling quite schadenfreude.

Such behavior temporarily wiped out the nobility it had shown before.

Shen Wen’an sneered, his mind slightly moved, and the Dao Palace in his Dantian flashed with Spirit Light.

The next moment, his entire body exuded a dense Power of Laws.

This Power of Laws was mixed with the aura of the Purple Mansion Dao Palace, immediately freezing the laughing Fire Phoenix in place!

”Pur... Purple Mansion!?”

”No way!”

”Your Spiritual Power fluctuation is obviously only at the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing... how could it have the aura of the Purple Mansion?”

Hearing the Fire Phoenix murmuring in disbelief, Shen Wen’an didn’t respond but said coldly, ”What madness are you up to?”

”Why did you destroy my Shen Family’s Artifact Refining Workshops?”

The Fire Phoenix glanced suspiciously at him, then at the destroyed workshops, stammering, ”They were clanging nonstop every day, and I found it noisy...”

The Fire Phoenix hadn’t finished speaking when the entire area above the Magma Lake was enveloped by a chilling Sword Intent!

The surrounding Spiritual Power swirled, and although the Sword Intent hadn’t manifested into a concrete form, its terrifying Law’s majesty pressed the magma below down several feet!

The main target of this immense pressure was the Fire Phoenix, with the surrounding magma merely affected.

Locked by the Sword Intent Law, the Fire Phoenix suddenly sensed a heavy sense of impending doom!

At this moment, it dared not doubt Shen Wen’an’s Purple Mansion realm anymore and quickly humbled itself.

”I... no, no!”

”Please, don’t be angry! Little Demon knows its mistake!”

Its head, once arrogantly raised, stuck to the lotus platform, its body quivering in submission.

Shen Wen’an snorted coldly, gradually retracting the power of the Sword Intent Law.

”Don’t forget, my Shen Family still holds a wisp of your True Spirit, and if you dare misbehave again, don’t expect me to show mercy.”

He knew well that the Fire Phoenix, as an embodiment of the Innate Spirit, had a wild nature that was hard to tame.

But without a major offense, killing it outright would be a pity.

Especially now that, after devouring some Spirit, its power clearly reached the Golden Core Realm, making him even more reluctant to strike it down.

Seeing Shen Wen’an retract the Sword Intent Law, the Fire Phoenix flapped its wings nervously and flew to the edge of the Magma Lake.

With a flicker of light, it transformed into a little girl clad in a robe made of Phoenix feathers, small in stature, looking merely like a ten-year-old child.

The little girl timidly cupped her hands towards him, pitifully saying, ”Rest assured, my lord, Little Demon will repair these Artifact Refining Workshops shortly.”

Shen Wen’an glanced at her, pondered momentarily, and coldly said, ”No need.”

”The Yangnao Land will soon cease to exist; repairing them would be pointless.”

Gazing at the scorching Magma Lake, Shen Wen’an sighed slightly.

He lamented not having the power to move mountains and seas, otherwise, he would think of relocating both Flame Lake City and the Magma Lake.

Since discovering the Magma Lake, he had an inexplicable feeling.

A great secret lay hidden beneath the Magma Lake.

”Are you reluctant to part with this Magma Lake, my lord?”

The Fire Phoenix seemed intelligent, noticing Shen Wen’an’s gaze filled with reluctance, immediately spoke, ”If you’re reluctant, my lord, Little Demon can think of a way to take it away.”

Shen Wen’an wore a skeptical frown, ”Can you move this Magma Lake?”

The little girl tilted her head, thinking, ”I can try.”

”Even if I can’t move it entirely, Little Demon can still absorb a significant amount of magma, and later, in a place rich with Earth Vein Fire Qi, I could create a similar Magma Lake again.”

”It’d definitely be enough for Artifact Refining.”

Hearing this, Shen Wen’an showed a trace of disappointment on his face.

He thought this little girl mastered some kind of relocation spell to move the Magma Lake entirely.

Turns out, she could only absorb part of the magma.

However, even absorbing part of the magma seemed beneficial.

This particular Magma Lake’s magma was clearly different from ordinary magma, capable of nurturing Innate Spiritual Qi while containing abundant Golden Essence Fire Qi, making it a irreplaceable treasure.

”Shall we proceed, my lord?”

The little girl, transformed from the Fire Phoenix, was eager and asked with an excited expression.

Shen Wen’an pondered for a moment and nodded.

Seeing his approval, the little girl rubbed her palms excitedly, adding, ”Please step back a bit, my lord, to avoid getting accidentally hurt later.”

Her words immediately gave Shen Wen’an an ominous feeling.

However, before he could say anything, the little girl suddenly leaped into the sky!

Screech!

The next moment, a resonant cry echoed, and the vast Flame Lake City was instantly enveloped by an enormous Golden Phoenix, hundreds of meters in length, with a wingspan stretching nearly a thousand meters, engulfed entirely in golden flames!

Instantly, the city’s defense array of Flame Lake City was burned through, and the Spirit Ore stones used to build the city walls around the Magma Lake were melted.

Fortunately, the residential areas of the city were far to the east, away from the Magma Lake, and this sudden event caused no casualties.

”Everyone, leave Flame Lake City immediately!”

Shen Wen’an’s voice resounded, urging the family members in the city to evacuate quickly.

In fact, without his urging, the residents, seeing the terrifying fiery Golden Phoenix, already realized something was off and started fleeing outside the city.

Shen Wen’an watched with a stern face at the enormous silhouette of the Fire Phoenix.

Feeling his gaze, the Fire Phoenix seemed to realize its excesses and quickly retracted the surrounding golden flames, urgently saying, ”Forgive me, my lord, Little Demon got too excited exhibiting its full form for the first time and lost control...”

Shen Wen’an said coldly, ”Enough nonsense, get to work.”

Ultimately, Flame Lake City was to be abandoned, as long as no one was harmed, it didn’t really matter.
