Chapter 12: Visit the three innate clans! Yuan Feng wants me to marry into the family?!

If sincere conversation doesn't give face.

Then don't blame me for using off-board moves!

This might lead to a small part of heaven and earth merit leaking to the three clans.

But compared to the loss of the Five-Needle Pine and the heaven and earth merit obtained after the creation of characters, it is not worth mentioning at all.

And he is implementing the path of caution, but what is his identity and what is his future goal.

He is as clear as a mirror in his heart!

The first cautious saint of Honghuang, Hongjun, is the example Diti wants to learn from.

As long as there is a chance, he must not only pit all his enemies to death but also take all their family property into his own hands.

Bloodless, foolproof revenge.

Is his highest pursuit at the moment!

After the two made a decision, they first went to the East Sea, which was closest to them, to seek the Dragon Race's character inheritance—Dragon Chapter.

Five hundred years later, Diti and the other arrived at the Dragon Race's territory in the East Sea, took out two sets of five-element pine nuts, and began to visit the mountain gate.

"I am the master of the Ziwei Emperor Star, Diti, now traveling to the East Sea, specifically here to visit Ancestral Dragon."

"I want to exchange a copy of the Dragon Race's character inheritance for the five-element pine nuts borne by the top-grade innate spiritual root, the Five-Needle Pine."

"Please ask Ancestral Dragon to appear and meet!"

As Diti's loud shout spread through the billions of miles of sea area.

In an instant, the sea surface, which was calm a second ago, suddenly turned upside down, and sea tornadoes connecting heaven and earth rose from the ground!

The moment the ocean was neatly split into two.

Ten thousand shrimp soldiers and crab generals with Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation, guarding five patrol sea yakshas at the Da Luo level, and a five-clawed golden dragon at Da Luo perfection.

Stepped in neat steps and came to Diti

"I am Ao Qing, the eldest grandson of the Ancestral Dragon."

"Grandfather is already aware of what you seek."

"This is a copy of the Dragon Script; you may take it and leave now."

Ao Qing, neither humble nor pushy, took the prepared copy of the Dragon Script from his bosom and cast it before Diti with his magic power.

"Remember, status is not everything. Sometimes, what is ordained by heaven is not unchangeable. I hope you will conduct yourself well and not lead yourself astray."

Having said this, he put away the Five-Element Pine nuts suspended in the air, said nothing more, and returned to the East Sea with his subordinates.

Diti did not take Ao Qing's words to heart.

In any case, in his eyes, the other party was already a dead man.

Rather than wasting breath getting angry with him,

it would be more practical to hurry on his way, obtain the textual inheritance of the Qilin and Phoenix clans, and complete the great undertaking of creating writing.

Immediately, the two changed direction and headed toward Qilin Cliff, the ancestral land of the Qilin clan.

This journey took over a thousand years.

And just as they arrived outside Qilin Cliff and Diti finished paying his respects to the sect, Wutu, the eldest grandson of the Beginning Qilin, brought people to throw the copy of the Qilin Pattern before him.

His attitude was arrogant and his words were vicious, even more haughty and rude than Ao Qing.

To this, Diti likewise picked up the item and turned to leave, ignoring Wutu, in whose eyes a fierce glint was beginning to grow.

Pitiful people must have their hateful aspects.

It is not without reason that the Dragon and Qilin clans ended up with most of their kin dying miserably, their fortune eroded by sin and karma, and their people having no hope of breaking through to the Da Luo realm.

The Phoenix clan is located in the Southern Undying Volcano Group.

The region is far from the center of Honghuang Tian Di, belonging to the hinterland of the southern continents.

Centered on the Undying Volcano Group, the surrounding hundreds of millions of miles are covered by endless abyss lava, with countless active volcanoes towering between heaven and earth, erupting with scorching magma at every moment.

Above the nine heavens, there are no white clouds, but flame clouds interwoven with crimson and gray-white.

The temperature is so high that even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would be scalded, and those below Taiyi would be instantly reduced to ashes upon contact.

Southern Brightness Departure Fire, Abyss Divine Fire, Thunder Gang Divine Fire...

Millions of types of divine fires of heaven and earth, both named and unnamed, and sources of strange fires, can be seen everywhere here.

Diti and Wang Shu had just stepped into the range of the Undying Volcano Group, before they could even pay their respects to the sect.

A Luan bird surrounded by cyan divine flames flew out from within, transforming into a young girl with a beautiful face in a cyan gauze dress, who bowed and greeted them politely.

"I am Qingluan, the head of Yuanfeng's direct disciples. I pay my respects to the Lord of the Ziwei Emperor Star and the Lord of the Taiyin Star."

"The Patriarch is already waiting for you both in the Wanhuang Palace. Please follow me."

Diti had not expected the Phoenix clan to be so polite.

They are indeed the ones who first discovered the problem and chose to stop at the end of the Great Calamity of the three clans.

Just by this attitude toward others, they are a thousand times better than the Dragon and Qilin clans.

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Qingluan, for leading the way."

"Those who come are guests, and the host coming out to greet them is the most basic way of hospitality."

Qingluan smiled and nodded, then led Diti and his companion through layers of volcanoes to the Wanhuang Palace, where Yuanfeng resided.

"Fellow Daoist Diti, Fellow Daoist Wang Shu, welcome."

Inside the Wanhuang Palace, Yuanfeng appeared very gentle and courteous. Seeing Diti and his companion enter, she immediately stood up to welcome them.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng, we have come this time to borrow the Phoenix clan's inherited writing, the Phoenix Seal."

"This is a Five-Element Pine nut produced by one of the top-grade innate Five-Element spiritual roots, the Five-Needle Pine. It has the miraculous effect of helping people comprehend the laws of the Five Elements and enhancing their corresponding origin."

"Given that the Phoenix clan primarily cultivates the Fire element, in addition to two sets of Five-Element Pine nuts, I also have two Fire-element Pine nuts nurtured for dozens of great eons to gift you. I hope Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng will accept them with a smile."

"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Diti, you are too polite."

"It is merely some textual inheritance; how could it be worth such extravagance from you?"

Yuanfeng smiled and waved her hand to refuse the Five-Element Pine nuts Diti offered.

And with a unique radiance in her eyes, she spoke to him, as if showing off or boasting, about the future prospects of the Phoenix clan.

"Now the Phoenix clan is already one of the three major clans of heaven and earth, possessing countless heavenly treasures and divine weapons."

"And this is only the result of the Phoenix clan staying in one corner and not competing with the Dragon and Qilin clans for lands outside the southern continents."

"When I break through to the perfection of the Primordial Golden Immortal, I will surely lead the Phoenix clan to rule the world and become the true hegemon of heaven and earth!"

"At that time, if you can join the Phoenix clan, I am willing to abdicate and treat you as the Emperor."

Listening to Yuanfeng's grand talk and seeing the strange look in her eyes, Diti understood a little in his heart.

This was not showing off the Phoenix clan's foundation to him.

It was an invitation for him to marry into the clan!

"I was wondering why the Phoenix clan's attitude was so vastly different from that of the Dragon and Qilin clans."

"So that's where they were waiting for me!"

"However, I am the Lord of the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the supreme emperor destined to rule Honghuang. How could I possibly marry into the Phoenix clan?"

"If Yuanfeng were to submit to me instead, that might be worth considering."

As his thoughts fluctuated, Diti realized that she would not accept the Five-Element Pine nuts, so he chose to offer her a few words of advice instead.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng, the Primordial World has long had its fixed numbers. The time for ruling the world has not yet come, and no clan can sit on the throne of ruling all living things in heaven and earth."

"Moreover, if there is too much killing, karma and sin will inevitably erode the fortune of the Phoenix clan."

"At that time, the quagmire of war and the flames of madness are not things you can easily end."
