Primordial Era: I, the Golden-Winged Roc, forcibly devoured Kong Xuan.

Chapter 7: Using the clan's karmic fire as a foundation, forging the strongest spiritual treasu

"Congratulations, host, on becoming the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan. You have completed option two."

"Reward: Five Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seeds, one Cultivation Enhancement Card, and a 10% increase in comprehension of the Five Elements Laws."

"Claim your reward now?"

Upon hearing the prompt, Li Feng immediately said, "Give me five Karmic Fire Red Lotus seeds first."

"Ding! Lotus seeds have been stored in the warehouse."

Li Feng took out three lotus seeds from the warehouse: "Here are three lotus seeds, one for each of you."

"By absorbing karma with this, your cultivation will continue to improve."

Feng Yun, Feng Yan, and Jin Ning were stunned when they heard this. They never expected that Li Feng had such a treasure, let alone that he could use it to break free from his shackles and continue to improve his cultivation.

The three of them trembled as they received the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seeds from Li Feng.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Yun, Feng Yan, and Jin Ning, with tears in their eyes, swore to Li Feng: "From this day forward, we will forever follow our clan leader, regardless of life or death!"

Li Feng could tell at a glance that the Phoenix Clan's higher-ups had completely submitted to him.

First of all, he is the son of Zu Feng, and has a noble lineage.

Secondly, and most importantly, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire Seed in his hand can help the three of them break through cultivation limitations and become stronger.

In the primordial world, almost all cultivators know that improving their strength is the most important thing.

To increase his power, Rahu slaughtered the entire prehistoric world, turning it into a demon realm.

To reach the pinnacle of the Dao, Hongjun Daozu relinquished his free will and merged with the Heavenly Dao.

The ancient war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans was to gather the primordial fortune and, with the help of the great forces of heaven and earth, to attain the Dao of Hunyuan.

All actions are aimed at increasing strength.

Li Feng's kindness in allowing Feng Yun, Feng Yan, and Jin Ning to continue improving their cultivation was immense.

Therefore, they willingly submitted to Li Feng.

As Li Feng was pondering, countless threads of cause and effect suddenly entangled him, and a vast amount of karma descended upon him.

Cultivating under such heavy karmic burdens and karma will slow down one's progress by at least a hundred times.

Only then did Li Feng understand why Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc had failed to become the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan in the history of the prehistoric world.

It's not that the Phoenix Clan doesn't approve, but that they themselves are unwilling.

If Kong Xuan or the Golden-Winged Roc were to become the leader of the Phoenix Clan, their strength would grow very slowly.

Feng Yun, Feng Yan, and Jin Ning also saw the karma that suddenly appeared on Li Feng.

The three of them immediately felt ashamed.

Feng Yun said with remorse, "Clan leader, this karma will hinder your cultivation."

"We...we have let you down."

Li Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous about this little bit of karma."

After saying that, he immediately took out a karmic fire red lotus seed and swallowed it.

Once the lotus seeds enter the body, they absorb karma like a hungry ghost.

The karmic burden within Li Feng's body is dissipating.

"My karma will be completely absorbed by the lotus seeds of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus within a hundred years."

"In this way, I can have one more defensive innate spiritual treasure."

"If this lotus seed absorbs the karma of the entire Phoenix Clan, it will surely become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure-level defensive artifact."

Upon hearing this and seeing the decrease in Li Feng's karmic burden, Feng Yun, Feng Yan, and Jin Ning finally smiled with relief.

The three immediately absorbed the seeds of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus into their own bodies.

In an instant, Feng Yun, Feng Yan, and Jin Ning all felt their karma being absorbed by the lotus seeds; they had never experienced such ease before.

Seeing how much they were enjoying themselves, Li Feng asked, "How many members does the Phoenix Clan have now?"

"How many of them are at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level or above?"

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Feng Yun, Feng Yan, and Jin Ning's expressions immediately darkened.

After a while, Feng Yun stepped forward and said, "Clan leader, the Phoenix Clan now has less than 30,000 people left."

"There are only two Great Luo Golden Immortals, Feng Yan and Jin Ning, and only one Quasi-Saint expert, me."

"There are fewer than ten Taiyi Golden Immortals."

……

Li Feng was stunned after hearing this, never expecting the Phoenix Clan to have declined to such a state.

Why are there so few people and experts left in the Phoenix Clan?

Feng Yun said, "In the past, when we were vying for supremacy in the primordial world, the Phoenix Clan used up all its experts."

"If it weren't for the need to leave experts to guard the area, the Phoenix Clan would have been wiped out long ago."

"After the war between the three races, the clansmen were trapped by karma, and their cultivation could not be improved."

"Therefore, no new masters have emerged in the Phoenix Clan."

"More importantly, the Phoenix Clan requires extremely pure bloodlines, making it very difficult for offspring to be born."

"This is why there are fewer and fewer Phoenix Clan members."

After listening, Li Feng could only nod helplessly.

He envied the dragons' nature; dragons were lustful, and this was related to many other races.

Therefore, the dragon race has a great many descendants.

Later, the First Emperor built the Dragon Gate to purify the mixed-blood dragon race, which is why the dragon race is so powerful.

Li Feng sighed softly, thinking to himself, "The Phoenix Clan must take the elite route."

"Once the karma is absorbed by the red lotus seeds of the Karmic Fire, the cultivation level of the clansmen will be greatly improved."

He took out another karmic fire red lotus seed and said to Feng Yun, "Take this lotus seed back to the Phoenix Clan and let the clan members take turns using it."

Li Feng then tossed the lotus seeds to Feng Yun.

"Thank you, Chieftain!"

Feng Yun bowed respectfully.

Li Feng nodded and turned to the main topic.

"Elder Fengyun, Sage Hongjun will be giving a sermon at Zixiao Palace. When will the Phoenix Clan send someone?"

Feng Yun was stunned when she heard the question.

Previously, due to the influence of karma, their cultivation could not be improved, so the Phoenix Clan did not send anyone to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao.

Faced with Li Feng's question, Elder Fengyun was speechless for a moment.

Looking at Elder Fengyun's expression, Li Feng frowned and asked, "Does no one in our Phoenix Clan want to go to Zixiao Palace to listen to Sage Hongjun preach?"

Feng Yun could only nod and admit, "Indeed, no one went."

Li Feng did not blame anyone, but calmly said, "It's normal that everyone was dragged down by karma and their strength stagnated before, so they didn't go to Zixiao Palace."

"But now that the problem of karma has been resolved, only talented people from our Phoenix Clan are allowed to go to Zixiao Palace to listen to the teachings of the Sage Hongjun."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yun asked in confusion.

"Why should we go? The Phoenix Clan has the ancestral Phoenix lineage and doesn't need to listen to the sage Hongjun preach."

Li Feng was speechless upon hearing Feng Yun's words. He hadn't expected Feng Yun to still be so fixated on the past of the Phoenix Clan.

Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't attend his sermons, no wonder the Phoenix Clan basically disappeared in the prehistoric world later on.

"Elder Fengyun, you're confused!"

"Hongjun was the first sage in the primordial world, so his Dao must have value."

"Other powerful beings have greatly increased their strength after listening to the sermon, but our Phoenix Clan has stagnated. How can we survive?"

"Just because the Phoenix Clan was once glorious, does that mean other races won't come after us?"

"In the primordial world, the strong prey on the weak, and strength is fundamental. Without strength, even the most glorious history will be forgotten."

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Feng Yun paused for a moment, then immediately lowered her head in shame.

Li Feng glanced at Feng Yun, then spoke to Feng Yan and Jin Ning.

"Now that all the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial World have gone to Zixiao Palace, our Phoenix Clan must go too."

"Feng Yun, you, Feng Yan, and Jin Ning, come with me to Zixiao Palace a hundred years from now!"

Feng Yun, Feng Yan, and Jin Ning exchanged glances and nodded in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Li Feng then ordered, "Prepare a place for me to cultivate in seclusion. I need to break through to the Great Luo Realm."

He still has a breakthrough card he hasn't used.

Using that card, you can directly ascend to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm without worrying about failure.
