A staggering secret.

This time, the Primeval Phoenix no longer held back.

After organizing her thoughts slightly, she said slowly, "More than nine thousand five hundred years ago, a spatial rift emerged in the far west of the Immortal Domain."

"At first, no one paid any attention to it, for it was an extremely desolate place after all."

"But in the third year after the rift appeared, suddenly a group of monsters with two wings on their backs and in the form of demons gushed out from within."

"They were organized and disciplined, and extremely brutal, killing whoever they saw."

"Consequently, the Liu Family, the only immortal power in the Western Continent, stepped forward without hesitation."

"However, unexpectedly, after the two sides engaged in close combat, the Liu Family was actually beaten back repeatedly."

"No matter what level of figures the Liu Family sent, the monster legion could always cope with them."

"Even when the supreme powerhouse of the Liu Family made a move, they still didn't gain an advantage."

"At this point, the other immortal powers couldn't sit still either."

"Although in the past, they didn't get along with each other, no one failed to understand the principle that when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

"So, just a few days later, the Demon - Slaying Allied Forces emerged."

"But even so, they still couldn't drive the monster legion back behind the rift."

"In that battle, the two sides fought with earth - shattering intensity, and countless great emperors perished."

"The so - called supreme powerhouses, who were reputed to have a lifespan as long as the heavens, were not spared either."

"The Starry Sky Supreme died in the first year after the war began."

"The Pope of the Holy See followed closely behind."

"Old Ancestor Qilin..."

"Even I lost my physical body at that time."

"This remaining heart was sent back by your old ancestor."

"And if the battle had continued, the Immortal Domain would have been doomed to defeat without a doubt."

"After all, their experts were continuously emerging, while ours were becoming fewer and fewer."

"However, just when everyone was in despair and prepared to cede territory for survival, the supreme powerhouse of the Liu Family stepped forward."

"He borrowed the power of heaven and earth and, at the cost of never being able to reincarnate, directly sealed the spatial rift for ten thousand years."

...

With each additional sentence, there was more sadness in the Primeval Phoenix's eyes.

But after all, she was a figure who had lived for nearly ten thousand years, and she quickly composed herself.

"By the way, how is the Liu Family now? Has a new supreme powerhouse emerged?"

Cao Wenbin remained silent.

It wasn't that he didn't hear, but that he didn't know how to answer.

After all, he had never even heard of the Liu Family.

Judging from this situation, not to mention a supreme powerhouse, it was even uncertain whether the Liu Family still had great emperors.

And the Primeval Phoenix was no fool. Cao Wenbin's attitude was enough to explain everything.

"It seems that the few remaining old guys didn't keep their promise."

"But that's right. They might support the Liu Family out of a sense of kinship, but their descendants might not have such awareness."

"Hehe~"

In the end, the Primeval Phoenix actually laughed.

"Why are you laughing?"

Cao Wenbin was full of confusion.

"I remembered an embarrassing incident of your old ancestor."

"When the supreme powerhouse of the Liu Family borrowed the power of heaven and earth, your supreme powerhouse swore to the heavens."

"As long as the Cao Family exists in the world, the descendants of the Liu Family will never perish. For generations to come, this will be a family precept, and it will not be violated, whether in heaven or on earth."

"Look, how nice that sounded."

Cao Wenbin was dumbfounded.

He never expected that his old ancestor could be so naive.

Fortunately, he wasn't there at the time. Otherwise, he would have wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

"Maybe he was overcome by emotions and said it spontaneously."

"By the way, do you think that after the seal fails, the people on the other side of the rift will come to invade again?"

Although she knew that Cao Wenbin was changing the topic, the Primeval Phoenix still answered seriously, "They will definitely come."

"That race is inherently aggressive and has no reason to give up."

"Moreover, before the spatial rift closed, one of their supreme powerhouses said personally that when they come again next time, they will surely massacre the entire Immortal Domain."

Nodding slightly.

After that, Cao Wenbin didn't say anything more. Closing his eyes, his spiritual power instantly spread out.

Having asked all the questions he needed to, it was time to take this heart into his body.

However, as soon as he started, the Primeval Phoenix immediately became anxious.

"What are you doing?"

"Without this heart, my soul can only hold on for at most a hundred years."

"Hey, stop immediately!"

"Wait until you find the Chaotic Golden Flame, and then refine it, okay?"

The more she spoke, the softer the Primeval Phoenix's tone became, and in the end, she was even acting coquettish.

But Cao Wenbin had no intention of stopping.

However, he did take the time to reassure the Primeval Phoenix: "Don't worry. With my cultivation level, it will take at least a hundred or two hundred years to refine this heart. During this period, you can still stay inside."

"And didn't I already say it? I'm determined to have you, this phoenix, under my control."

"So, before I succeed, I won't let anything happen to you."

...

Dragon Island.

After a long journey of several days, Long Ritian finally returned to his lair.

Logically speaking, since he had gone out to perform a mission, he should have reported back first after returning.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he directly came to the gate of the 25th Dragon Mother Palace.

"Junior Long Ritian pays his respects to the old ancestor."

Silence.

There was no sound at all inside the palace.

But just as Long Ritian was about to shout again, a voice full of confusion came out: "Ritian? You brat, instead of cultivating properly, what are you doing here?"

That said, the gate of the palace still slowly opened.

Obviously, Long Zimei inside had no guard against her junior.

But she had no idea that by opening the door, she was opening more than just that one door.

And Long Ritian didn't stand on ceremony either.

When the gap in the gate was just wide enough for one person to pass through, he had already slipped in.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly, brat. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Looking at Long Zimei, who was sitting cross - legged, with an exquisitely beautiful face and an alluring charm all over her body, Long Ritian smiled.

"Old ancestor, I just want you to accompany me to bed. How about it? This should not be difficult for you, right?"

Long Zimei was bewildered.

How long had it been since she had heard such words?

It seemed that since that man disappeared, no one had dared to be so rude to her anymore.

"Presumptuous..."

But just as she was about to teach this outspoken junior a lesson, suddenly a person appeared behind Long Ritian.

"Long Zimei, after so many years, your temper has grown."

"Good, good. Finally, you have a bit of the aura of a dragon mother."

"This time, when I train you, it will be even more fulfilling."

While the Medicine Emperor was teasing, his hands were also forming seals.

And whether it was out of habit or being guided by the seals, Long Zimei actually knelt down on the ground the moment the Medicine Emperor's voice rang out.

"Master, you're still alive!"
