Chapter 470: Fire Phoenix Immortal

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Boundless Sea is becoming more and more bustling.

But it can also be seen that the huge number of cultivators flying over the Boundless Sea proves that the Chaos of the Chaotic Sea has apparently reached a white‑hot stage; more and more cultivators are fleeing here, and now we can only listen to these refugees analyze the situation of the Chaotic Sea.

"What? The Supreme Elder of the Sun and Moon Palace hasn't died, and even went to the Heavenly Spirit Realm to fight the founders of the various sects?"

"Yes, but upon returning I heard that the Supreme Elder of the Sun and Moon Palace has died."

"Isn't that the same then?"

"Who knows? By the way, what's the situation in the Heavenly Spirit Realm?"

"I'm only a Golden Core cultivator; how could I know what's going on in the Heavenly Spirit Realm?"

"Then where did you hear the news?"

"It was probably spread by the group fighting for power and profit against the Sun and Moon Palace, but the Sun and Moon Palace hasn't actually clashed heavily with the other sects; instead it has been throwing money around to recruit experts to handle problems across the lands. If the other sects don't resolve issues with force, the beast tide that has plagued the Chaotic Sea for over twenty years may be dealt with by the Sun and Moon Palace."

"But... didn't I hear that Seven Star Island has already broken away from the Sun and Moon Palace's jurisdiction? The cease‑fire hasn't been announced, right?"

"Who can say?"

From their words it's not hard to hear that the Sun and Moon Palace does have countermeasures against the power struggles among the sects, but the more they do so, the more chaotic the Chaotic Sea becomes.

No wonder more and more cultivators are fleeing here.

A few cultivators were flying when they suddenly saw a large crowd of cultivators gathered around the high sky ahead, not knowing what they were looking at.

Curious, they hurried over and, puzzled, looked ahead: "Fellow Daoist, excuse me, what's going on?"

A male cultivator was on one knee before a female cultivator, looking deeply affectionate—was he proposing?

"Oh, you just arrived?"

"Yes, who are these two?"

"That one is the young master of True Yellow Island, Huang Xuanming. The female cultivator is the most eye‑catching Fire Phoenix Immortal Wei Zixu in recent years; I heard she has already broken through the Nascent Soul stage and is the dream lover of many male cultivators."

"Wei Zixu? I didn't expect to see her here."

"What's up? Do you two know the Fire Phoenix Immortal?"

"We heard her name back in the Chaotic Sea; at the time people said she would break through the Nascent Soul stage, and after a decade or so she actually did."

"Indeed, that Fire Phoenix Immortal is truly formidable; I wonder what fate granted her a promotion to mid‑Nascent Soul just two years ago!"

"Ah?!"

If that's the case, then why is Huang Xuanming making such a face to propose?

Someone nearby, noticing their odd expressions, laughed and explained: "Huang Xuanming isn't simple; True Yellow Island is one of the major powers of the Boundless Sea, and his parents are both true Nascent Soul Lords. Moreover, I've heard the Fire Phoenix Immortal also received help from those two true Lords to successfully ascend, so..."

"Returning a favor with gratitude?"

"That's the idea, but such scenes are countless; every day there are countless suitors showing love to the Fire Phoenix Immortal. When she was at the Golden Core stage, there were ten or eight suitors a day; after she reached the Nascent Soul stage, the number dropped considerably."

"Oh."

Huang Xuanming, full of affection, looked at Wei Zixu, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers, and said: "Wei Immortal, you...."

Wei Zixu covered her forehead: "Young master, what are you doing? I'm like a sibling to your parents; you can't act like this."

"Wei Immortal, to be frank, from the first time I saw you I fell hopelessly in love; please give me a chance, will you?"

"No."

"Can't you at least try to adapt?"

"! \" Wei Zixu widened her eyes, truly wanting to slap her to wake her up.

However, because of her friendship with his parents, Wei Zixu didn't want to strike; seeing more cultivators gathering, she turned and flew away swiftly.

"Wei Immortal, wait for me!!" Huang Xuanming shouted, hurrying to follow.

Because Wei Zixu's nc fans are increasing, more people in the Boundless Sea are learning her name.

It's not mainly because Wei Zixu's innate strength is formidable, but because so many suitors are pursuing her, causing many female cultivators to secretly become jealous.

Although they don't dare say it to her face, spreading rumors is still possible.

No need to mention how true Nascent Soul Lords crush any dissent; the cultivation world isn't just about raw power, otherwise why would Wei Zixu be so troubled by these annoying suitors?

It's also because their lineage is extraordinary and they aren't easy to offend; unless they cut themselves off from the world, daring to approach would just be killed, so there wouldn't be so much trouble.

"Hmph, I thought the Fire Phoenix Immortal could still swat away these clueless suitors as before, but she still fears their parents."

"Sigh, an immortal is still a person, can understand."

"If I had such lineage, I'd cling persistently; maybe one day the Immortal would be moved."

"I doubt it. Wei Immortal broke through the Nascent Soul stage before reaching four hundred years old; her strength and talent are top‑tier. If future opportunities arise, she could at least reach the Divine Transformation stage."

"So that's basically leaning on a rich lady, right?"

"Probably the two island lords of True Yellow Island share that view, which is why they didn't stop their son's courtship."

"Sigh, it's all about self‑interest; truly heartbreaking—does this world no longer have pure love?"

"Hm? Not a buddy, are you crazy about women? You're already at the Golden Core stage and still this naive?"

The surrounding cultivators wore mocking faces; that cultivator's cheeks flushed, and he retorted: "Is it wrong for me to want a sincere relationship?"

"Can't explain to you; it's the typical childless‑love‑brain mindset."

"You horse‑rider!"

As they kept talking, the two heated up and started wrestling.

Elsewhere.

Wei Zixu arrived at a sea island, saw no one chasing her from behind, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wei Immortal? In such a hurry—could it be that you've encountered a Demon Emperor?" a Nascent Soul cultivator stepped out, laughing.

"It's Brother Li Yuan, no problem; I'm mainly here to see how things are on your side."

Li Yuan chuckled, saying: "Thanks for your concern, Immortal. As you can see, this island has been temporarily developed. However, this area often suffers beast attacks; could you lend a hand and set up formations with me to reduce the losses?"

Wei Zixu nodded: "Daoist Friend Li has helped me so much before, so it's naturally fine. But there are so many loose cultivators here; Daoist Friend Li, are you considering establishing a sect here?"

"I do have that idea, but this place lacks spirit veins and resources, so it can't attract many people. It would be better to develop it as a sea-island market. If you're interested, Fairy, I'm willing to give you twenty percent of the market's income. Of course, you just need to come back occasionally to check; mainly, we just need to maintain the formation."

Wei Zixu thought for a moment and saw no reason to refuse such a windfall benefit. She and Li Yuan are both formation masters; just helping to set up the formation would bring profit, so it's naturally not a loss.

"Then we..."

Boom—

Before Wei Zixu could finish speaking, a shock that trembled the hearts and souls of all living beings thundered down from the high heavens.

It was like Lei Gong striking a drum with his thunderbolt, and like Ji Ling's force shaking heaven and earth!

"That is..." Li Yuan's pupils constricted as he instantly thought of something.

"Heavenly tribulation?!"

Wei Zixu frowned, fixing her gaze on the dark clouds not far away in the sky.
