In the ancient extreme south, there is a huge volcano standing. This volcano erupts forever, so it is called the Immortal Volcano.
From a distance, Jiang Heng could see billowing black smoke rising into the sky, and the extremely hot breath hit his face, making Jiang Heng feel a slight burning sensation.
"Is this an immortal volcano? It's really powerful!" Jiang Heng looked at the immortal volcano in the distance and said in a deep voice.
"For the record, the Human Emperor, this immortal volcano has existed since the beginning of the world. It has been erupting all year round and has almost never stopped for hundreds of millions of years!
The firepower of the immortal volcano is so terrifying that even a master of fire control cannot withstand it. I, the Phoenix clan, have suppressed the immortal volcano for many years and have suffered greatly from it! "
Kong Xuan's face was filled with sadness. Just like the Dragon Clan back then, the Phoenix Clan had sacrificed many powerful men in order to suppress the undying volcano.
Jiang Heng nodded. The immortal volcano has existed since the beginning of the world. Like the Eye of the Sea, it is also a major danger to the world.
In the depths of the primitive land, there is endless fire surging. The power of the earth fire continues to accumulate, and if there is nowhere to vent it, it will cause the earth to shake.
The immortal volcano is the outlet for the underground fire to vent, so it gathers such terrifying firepower and is in a state of eruption all year round.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to completely suppress the immortal volcano!" Jiang Heng said solemnly.
The Eye of the Sea in the Four Seas is naturally a serious problem for the world, but the root cause is the resentment of the Dao Demon God.
As long as the resentment of the Dao Demon God is suppressed, the disaster of Haiyan will be solved, but the situation of the immortal volcano is different.
Earth fire is the power inherent in the ancient world. Even if the immortal volcano is suppressed, the power of earth fire will still continue to condense.
As time goes on, the power accumulated by the earth fire will become more and more terrifying. When it reaches a certain level, the undead volcano will still erupt.
Moreover, at that time, because the power accumulated by the earth fire is too terrifying, when the immortal volcano erupts again, it will inevitably cause boundless disasters.
Under the earthquake of the ancient earth, the earth was turned upside down, but it was light. The endless flames swept in, which was truly terrifying and boundless.
"For hundreds of millions of years, our Phoenix clan has tried every means to suppress the immortal volcano, but we are still at a loss.
Now, we no longer think about how to suppress the immortal volcano. As long as we, the Phoenix clan, can get rid of the karma on our bodies, we will be satisfied! Kong Xuan said with a sigh.
"This matter is not a foregone conclusion. Whether the disaster of the immortal volcano can be completely solved will wait until I go to find out for myself!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.
Although it is difficult to solve the undying volcano, it is not completely hopeless. As for the specifics, Jiang Heng would first go to the Immortal Volcano to see for himself.
Not long after, Jiang Heng and Kong Xuan arrived at the foot of the Immortal Volcano, where the Phoenix clan has lived for generations.
"It's really disappointing that the Phoenix clan has fallen into such a situation!" Jiang Heng couldn't help but say.
According to Jiang Heng's perception, the Phoenix clan living here is indeed extremely rare.
Even if they go all out, there are only a few thousand Phoenix clans living here, and there are even fewer pure-blooded Phoenix clans among them.
Once upon a time, Jiang Heng thought that even if the Phoenix Clan had declined, there would still be hundreds of pure-blooded Phoenix Clan.
But now it seems that there are only dozens of pure-blood Phoenix clan left at most, and the rest are some Phoenix clan with impure blood.
I think back then, the Phoenix clan was one of the overlords of the ancient world, commanding all the birds in the ancient world and dominating the sky.
In ancient times, the Phoenix with impure blood could only be regarded as a vassal of the Phoenix clan, not even the real Phoenix clan.
The Phoenix clan has become what it is today. It is not just weak, it is almost extinct.
"If it weren't for the fact that my Phoenix clan couldn't sustain it, I wouldn't have placed my hope on the human race!" Horror said helplessly.
It was precisely because he knew that the current situation of the Phoenix clan was unsustainable that Kong Xuan chose to go to the human race to find a solution.
A mysterious bird descends from the sky, descending to give birth to Shang! Binding the fate of the Phoenix Clan to the Great Shang Dynasty gave the Phoenix Clan a chance to breathe.
But according to the original historical trajectory, with the collapse of the Great Shang Dynasty, the fate of the Phoenix family will naturally be completely cut off.
Kong Xuan himself was also subdued by the Zhunti saint of the Western religion. It was extremely difficult to control the Phoenix clan again.
If there are no accidents, if the original historical trajectory continues, the complete extinction of the Phoenix clan will be inevitable.
"Don't worry! As long as the Phoenix clan truly surrenders to our human race, there will never be any danger of annihilation!" Jiang Heng said.
Jiang Heng was not absolutely sure that he could completely solve the problem of the undying volcano. But just helping the Phoenix clan is not difficult for Jiang Heng.
As long as the Phoenix Clan truly surrenders to the Human Clan, Jiang Heng can do the same thing again as he did to the Dragon Clan.
As long as it can become the totem beast of the human race, the Phoenix clan can immediately gather immeasurable luck and merit, and completely wash away the boundless karma on themselves.
When the time comes, the fate of the Phoenix clan and the human race will be connected. As long as the human race is at its peak, there will be no risk of the Phoenix clan being exterminated.
"Kong Xuan is here to thank the Human Emperor first, and I will go and gather all the members of my Phoenix clan!" Kong Xuan said with great excitement.
One can imagine the pressure Kong Xuan has endured after carrying the burden of the Phoenix clan on his shoulders for many years.
Now, it is not easy to see the hope of the Phoenix clan's rebirth. Naturally, Kong Xuan's excitement can no longer be suppressed.
Under Kong Xuan's summons, thousands of Phoenix clan members quickly gathered together, all looking expectantly at Jiang Heng.
“As long as the Phoenix Clan truly surrenders to our human race, it will become our human race’s totem beast, and from then on it will be connected to our human race’s destiny, and there will no longer be any danger of annihilation.
However, the stakes are very high at this time, and we need to make careful preparations before we can hold a sacrificial ceremony to report to Heaven and the ancestor of our human race! Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.
As soon as the words fell, thousands of the Phoenix clan couldn't help but hug each other, and burst into warm cheers with tears in their eyes.
Naturally, Kong Xuan made no secret of Jiang Heng's identity. Now that the Human Emperor has personally made a promise, how can the Phoenix family not be excited?
How many years! In order to suppress the immortal volcano, the Phoenix clan is gradually weakening. Now, there are only a few thousand clan members left!
When a family is about to be exterminated, suddenly seeing hope is like a drowning person grabbing the last straw when he is about to die.
Under the extremely expectant eyes of thousands of Phoenix clan members, Jiang Heng was already walking towards the immortal volcano with Kong Xuan.
The immortal volcano in front of us is indeed extremely huge. Not only is it tens of thousands of feet tall, but it also spans hundreds of millions of miles in radius.
After truly entering the immortal volcano, Jiang Heng immediately felt the endless firepower, which gradually made him feel the burning sensation.
With Jiang Heng's current strength, this situation is already extremely shocking, not to mention that Jiang Heng has already understood the mystery of the Five Elements Fire.
“If you want to go deep into the immortal volcano, it would be difficult for Daluo Jinxian to do so, and only the quasi-sage can barely withstand the endless firepower of the immortal volcano.
The reason why our Phoenix clan is able to suppress the Immortal Volcano relies on the many sealing formations left behind! Kong Xuan said.
This situation is quite similar to that of the Phoenix Clan back then. They also relied on the magic circle left over from ancient times to suppress the immortal volcano.
Gradually reaching the depths of the immortal volcano, Jiang Heng gradually saw many powerful flames along the way.
Samadhi True Fire, Nine Nether Flames, Purple Sky Fire, Nanming Li Fire, Six Ding Divine Fire, Taiyin True Fire, Sun True Fire, Red Lotus Karmic Fire...
A variety of legendary powerful flames can be seen everywhere in the immortal volcano. This alone is enough to illustrate the terror of the immortal volcano.
In other words, Jiang Heng and Kong Xuan were so powerful that they were not afraid of these powerful flames. Otherwise, Daluo Jinxian will turn into ashes in an instant.
The immortal volcano contains infinite firepower. It should be said that it should be a paradise for practicing fire Taoism, but in fact it is not like this.
The immortal volcano indeed contains endless firepower, with all kinds of powerful flames that are difficult to see outside.
Practicing various fire-based Taoist techniques in the immortal volcano is indeed effective in getting twice the result with half the effort, but the premise is that you can resist the fire poison here.
The so-called fire poison is the poison in the fire that has been accumulated in the lungs of the earth for endless years, which is enough to make the quasi-sage change his face when he hears it.
If one is not careful and the fire poison penetrates into one's body, not only will one suffer the pain of being burned by the fire immediately, but one's Tao foundation will be destroyed in an instant.
Therefore, although this immortal volcano contained endless firepower, it did not allow the Phoenix clan to enjoy any benefits. Instead, they suffered a lot of torture.
After going deep into the immortal volcano, even Kong Xuan, who was at the peak quasi-sage level, began to have fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
Soon, Kong Xuan had to use the five-color divine light to protect his body, and he was able to withstand the endless firepower.
What shocked Kong Xuan was that Jiang Heng still looked okay, looking left and right, as if he was extremely curious about the immortal volcano.
While Kong Xuan was shocked, he had a better understanding of Jiang Heng's strength, and couldn't help but feel more confident in the future of the Phoenix clan.
After a while, Jiang Heng and Kong Xuan arrived at the very depths of the immortal volcano and saw a huge sea of magma.
Wherever you look, everything is red, and among the rolling magma, countless terrifying flames emerge.
"If such a terrifying magma sea erupts from an immortal volcano, it will definitely cause endless disasters!" Jiang Heng said with a solemn expression.
As long as he felt it for a moment, Jiang Heng immediately understood what kind of disaster it would cause once the immortal volcano erupted in full force.
I'm afraid that by then, the infinite flames will sweep across the ancient land, and the billowing smoke will cover the entire sky of the ancient world.
Countless prehistoric creatures will die tragically as a result, and even the appearance of the entire prehistoric world will be changed as a result, which is naturally considered a boundless disaster.
To a certain extent, once all the undead volcanoes erupt, the disaster caused will not be less than the initial earthquake in the world.
Once the immortal volcano erupts, the human race, now the protagonists of the world, will definitely bear the brunt, and countless humans will even die tragically.
For Jiang Heng, this was naturally unacceptable. As the Human Emperor, Jiang Heng could not allow such a thing to happen.
"It seems that the immortal volcano must be completely eliminated. However, before that, ask Yuan Feng first, maybe there will be unexpected gains!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.
After the calamity of Long Han, countless creatures perished due to the war between the three clans, resulting in boundless killings. The three clans of Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin were subjected to boundless karma by heaven.
Among the three clans, the dragon clan is the most powerful, but because of this, it has the most karma. Zulong filled the eyes of the sea with his body and finally died.
Yuanfeng suppressed the immortal volcano with his body, but because the Phoenix clan killed slightly less evil, Yuanfeng retained a glimmer of hope.
If there were no accidents, Yuan Feng should be in the deepest part of the immortal volcano, single-handedly blocking the full eruption of the immortal volcano.
"I also tried to break into the depths of the immortal volcano, but it was so terrifying that it almost trapped me!" Kong Xuan said helplessly.
Even for a peak quasi-sage like Kong Xuan, once he goes to the deepest part of the immortal volcano, it is almost impossible to return to the ancient world.
Therefore, Kong Xuan actually didn't know whether Yuanfeng was alive or dead, but because of the mysterious connection between mother and son, he seemed to still be able to vaguely feel Yuanfeng's existence.
Of course, this is also because Kong Xuan does not have a treasure in his hands. Otherwise, with Kong Xuan's strength, it is not completely hopeless to break into the depths of the immortal volcano.
It's sad to think about it. As the leader of the birds, the Phoenix clan once dominated the ancient world, but now they are reduced to the point where they don't even have a single treasure.
"These two magic weapons are for you to use for the time being. However, these two magic weapons have some causes and effects. I might have to do another one when the time comes!"
Jiang Heng raised his hand and waved, and two magic weapons condensed with powerful aura immediately appeared and were sent directly to Kong Xuan.
"This? Is this an innate spiritual treasure?" Kong Xuan looked at Jiang Heng in shock and asked in disbelief.
Kong Xuan was a quasi-saint-level expert, so he naturally had some discernment. He could tell at a glance that the magic weapon Jiang Heng sent was not extraordinary.
Judging from the powerful aura and the precious light condensed on the magic weapon, the two magic weapons in front of me are actually innate spiritual treasures?
This is an innate spiritual treasure! In the prehistoric world, apart from the three famous innate treasures, the innate spiritual treasure is the strongest.
Jiang Heng not only took out such a powerful treasure easily, but also gave it to himself for use so easily?
Even though Kong Xuan was a quasi-sage, where had he seen such a generous act? He froze on the spot for a moment, which was natural.
The two magic weapons Jiang Heng gave to Kong Xuan were indeed innate spiritual treasures, but these two innate spiritual treasures were not owned by Jiang Heng.
These two innate spiritual treasures, namely the six pure bamboos and the blessed divine pestle, were the innate spiritual treasures that Jiang Heng had snatched from the disciples of the Western Sect.
Speaking of which, the Western Sect's Zhunti Saint manifested his power to attack Jiang Heng because Jiang Heng tried to seize these two magic weapons.
Only because Saint Taiqing came to help, Saint Zhunti had no choice but to give up, and these two magic weapons fell into Jiang Heng's hands.
Because of the intervention of Saint Taiqing, Saint Zhunti was unable to take these two innate spiritual treasures back from Jiang Heng's hands.
Later, due to Taoist ancestor Hongjun's ban, Jiang Heng went into seclusion in Huoyun Cave, and Saint Zhunti had no chance to recapture these two magic weapons.
Now, Jiang Heng handed these two items to Kong Xuan. If Saint Zhunti knew about it, he would naturally not let it go.
But sooner or later, Kong Xuan and Saint Zhunti will have to settle their cause and effect, so it doesn't matter if they give these two days of innate spiritual treasures to Kong Xuan now.
However, I just don't know whether Saint Zhunti can recover from his injuries in the future battle. Otherwise, there might not even be a chance to take action.
Jiang Heng ignored Kong Xuan, who was still in shock. He raised his hand and the top-notch innate spiritual treasure Hetu Luoshu appeared.
Kong Xuan was already numb. The rare innate spiritual treasure in the past seemed to have become worthless in the hands of this human emperor.
Hetu Luoshu manifests the form of the innate Bagua and protects Jiang Heng and Kong Xuan. Then, Jiang Heng took a step towards the rolling sea of magma.
In an instant, an extremely hot breath hit, and all kinds of powerful flames seemed to be endless, constantly emerging.
But with the power of Hetu Luoshu, the best innate spiritual treasure, it is not difficult to temporarily resist the endless flames.
"Be still and concentrate, and see if you can sense Yuanfeng's existence through your blood connection with Yuanfeng!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.
Kong Xuan did not dare to neglect, and quickly followed Jiang Heng's instructions and began to work hard to sense Yuan Feng's location.
"Vaguely, it should be in this direction!" After a while, Kong Xuan pointed in one direction and said.
The direction that Kong Xuan sensed was leading to the depths of the immortal volcano. Jiang Heng nodded and led Kong Xuan in that direction.
As it continued to sink into the magma sea, the fiery aura became stronger and stronger, and even the shape of the Bagua condensed by Hetu Luoshu began to distort.
Various powerful flames turned into strange creatures, such as fire dragons, fire phoenixes, and even various rare and exotic beasts.
"These flames have been gestated in the immortal volcano for countless years and have acquired spirituality. If given the chance, they might become real creatures!" Jiang Heng said.
There are actually not many such examples in the ancient world. For example, Jie Jiao's Sanxiao is the first cloud between heaven and earth, and Zhao Gongming is the first breeze between heaven and earth.
The firepower in the immortal volcano is extremely terrifying, and it naturally breeds countless powerful flames. Over time, it inevitably gives birth to spirituality.
However, it is extremely difficult for aliens to achieve enlightenment. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, even though these flames are powerful, it will be difficult to truly open up spiritual wisdom.
These powerful fire creatures, after seeing Jiang Heng and Kong Xuan, started to gather together like sharks asking about the smell of blood.
"Boom!"
Powerful fire creatures constantly collided with the Bagua form formed by Hetu Luoshu, causing the Bagua form to vibrate.
Jiang Heng's expression remained unchanged and he paid no attention to these powerful fire creatures. Instead, he tried his best to walk towards the depths of the immortal volcano.
But the deeper you go deeper into the immortal volcano, the more this situation becomes apparent to your eyes, and the more obvious the vibration of the Eight Diagrams condensed in Hetu Luoshu becomes.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Heng's expression became solemn. At this time, even he felt tremendous pressure.
The temperature in the immortal volcano has reached an extremely terrifying level. Not to mention the Great Luo Jinxian, even the innate magic weapon will probably melt here.
The fire-type creatures that appeared here have become extremely powerful. Fire-type creatures at the level of Daluo Jinxian can be seen everywhere, and there are many who are comparable to quasi-sages.
Under the constant impact of these fire creatures, Hetu Luoshu was also under tremendous pressure, and even the light of the Bagua Shape was dimmed a lot.
"How far is it?" Jiang Heng asked in a deep voice.
"In my perception, it should be extremely close!" Kong Xuan said in a deep voice.
Kong Xuan had never done it before so deeply into the immortal volcano. Looking at the powerful fire creatures around him, Kong Xuan also felt tremendous pressure.
"Then if we all work together, we won't be able to stay here for too long!" Jiang Heng said in a deep voice.
Jiang Heng punched out, and the sixth form of the Emperor's Fist, Heavenly Fire, burst out in a prairie fire. Infinite flames condensed and transformed into the form of the Red Emperor.
As soon as the Red Emperor came out, the endless firepower around him instantly condensed, turning the Red Emperor into a god tens of thousands of feet tall.
The Red Emperor was born, commanding all the fires in the world, sweeping across the powerful fire creatures around him, and instantly opened a passage.
Naturally, Jiang Heng would not miss such a good opportunity, so he quickly drove Hetu Luoshu and continued to rush towards the depths of the immortal volcano.
Next, whenever he encountered flaming creatures, Jiang Heng would follow the same method, condensing the form of the Red Emperor to quickly suppress those powerful flaming creatures.
But as time passed, Jiang Heng felt a hot fire poison gradually invade his body, making Jiang Heng blush.
This is the fire poison of the earth and lungs, and even a quasi-sage cannot resist it. Fortunately, Jiang Heng controlled the true meaning of the five elements. Under the rotation of the five elements, he could barely suppress the fire poison in the earth and lungs.
But if this continues, sooner or later Jiang Heng will be unable to support himself. That's why Jiang Heng said just now that he didn't have much time left for them.
"It seems that this immortal volcano is really terrifying. I'm afraid I have to find another way!" Jiang Heng thought to himself.
It's not that Jiang Heng can't fight against the immortal volcano. If he uses all his methods, Jiang Heng can even temporarily level the immortal volcano.
But this is not the Sea of Chaos. The immortal volcano is so important, and the power of heaven must be shrouded here.
Once Jiang Heng exposes too many things, he will inevitably be noticed by Tiandao and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, which is naturally not a good thing for Jiang Heng.
Just when Jiang Heng was thinking about whether to give up temporarily and solve the karma on the Phoenix clan first, and then find other ways, a strong aura came.
"This? This is my mother's breath. My mother is right in front!" Kong Xuan suddenly showed surprise and said loudly.
"Yuanfeng?" Jiang Heng naturally felt the vast aura, and immediately led Kong Xuan in the direction from which the aura came.
Soon, a behemoth came into the eyes of Jiang Heng and Kong Xuan. It was an extremely huge phoenix, but it was wrapped with endless chains.
"Mother! I finally found you!" Kong Xuan said extremely excitedly, preparing to rush towards the huge phoenix.
"Wait a minute! Yuan Feng's situation is a little abnormal!" Jiang Heng stopped Kong Xuan and said in a deep voice.
