What appeared before them was an ancient forest entirely constructed from rare medicinal herbs!
Stepping into the forest, gazing at the countless exotic flowers and plants beneath their feet, everyone was deeply awestruck.
Here, any medicinal herb that would be coveted in the outside world was as common as weeds.
It's a pity…
a pity that those truly reaching high-level evaluation are still extremely rare!
Mo Tang raised his hand and swept across a sea of flowers, then heard the continuous dinging sounds of the system...
"Intermediate energy detected: 300 points, absorb?"
"Yes/No."
...
"Intermediate energy detected: 300 points, absorb?"
"Yes/No."
...
"Intermediate energy detected: 300 points, absorb?"
"Yes/No."
All the notifications were for intermediate energy...
If this had happened at the beginning, Mo Tang estimated he could have instantly leveled up from nothing to the peak of Dou Huang.
But now...
this intermediate energy was completely useless to him!
Oh, that's not quite right, because intermediate energy can still improve Earth-rank Dou Techniques, so Mo Tang still carefully converted tens of thousands of them, keeping them for later use. 6̲9̲s̲h̲u̲x̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Of course, the others weren't idle either.
By the time Mo Tang and the others left the area, a large portion of the medicinal herbs had been devastatingly harvested... but that only accounted for a third of the sea of herbs! While
not many of these herbs might be useful to those present, taking them back would certainly enhance the foundation of their sects or races.
Especially for the current Four Directions Pavilion, with the Ye family's Pill Pavilion operating at full capacity, the quantity and speed at which herbs were consumed were terrifying!
Correspondingly, the strength of the Four Directions Pavilion's elite disciples was rapidly increasing...
"Let's go, let's find that thing you mentioned first..."
Mo Tang said with a light laugh, glancing at Zi Hong, who seemed reluctant to leave.
Hearing Mo Tang's words, Zi Hong became serious and took the lead.
Whether this woman had some kind of intuition or some other secret technique, Mo Tang felt that she seemed quite familiar with the area.
Moreover, Mo Tang was also very puzzled... How did they know that what they were looking for would definitely be here?
Could it be that their Heavenly Phoenix Clan had some connection with the Creation Saint who owned this relic?
With these questions in mind, Mo Tang silently followed in Zi Hong's footsteps, heading deeper into the ancient forest. This ancient
forest, after countless years of evolution, can be considered a world of its own. Therefore, it is home to many extremely powerful magical beasts, many of which are ancient and exotic species.
Of course, even ancient and exotic species are nothing to worry about; with Mo Tang, the Supreme Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, present, those magical beasts vanish the moment they sensed his presence, daring not to show their faces.
After traveling swiftly for half an hour, Mo Tang and his group finally stopped.
Zi Hong looked at the towering tree before them, its trunk appearing like a wall in their eyes…
"This is the heart of this ancient forest. The thing I'm talking about is inside this giant tree!"
Mo Tang frowned, stepped forward, and placed his hand on the tree trunk...
"This is... a spatial seal? And a seal cast by a supreme expert at the Dou Sheng level?"
Sensing the strength of the spatial seal, Mo Tang turned his head in confusion.
"Are you sure we can get in?"
In his previous perception, Mo Tang realized that with his own strength, he couldn't break this spatial seal at all...
If it were Bi Wu, a half-saint, it might be possible, but if he tried to break it by force, even the giant tree in front of him would probably be completely destroyed.
Zi Hong smiled slightly and said, "Not everyone needs to go in, just the two of us are enough..."
As he spoke, Zi Hong spat out a drop of golden blood from his mouth and said to Mo Tang, "Use the aura of my essence blood to cover your entire body. Next, I will open a portal large enough for us to pass through..."
"However, my strength is weak, and this seal can only be broken for a moment, so please be prepared, Young Master Mo."
Mo Tang raised an eyebrow, said nothing, but nodded silently.
He pointed his finger at the golden blood drop, and it instantly transformed into a layer of golden-red light that enveloped his entire body...
Seeing this, Zi Hong also spat out a crimson sphere from his mouth, and then activated it, sending a red light towards the spatial seal on the outer layer of the giant tree...
Instantly, the spatial seal that Mo Tang had thought was indestructible actually cracked open.
"Go!"
Zi Hong shouted, and then rushed into the crack first.
Mo Tang naturally followed closely behind...
After the two entered, the crack instantly returned to its original state. Jiu Feng and the others outside even went to check, only to find, like Mo Tang, just a solid spatial seal.
Mo Tang, who had rushed into the giant tree, looked at the magnificent palace before him, his mind momentarily blank.
Shouldn't we be inside that giant tree? How did such a grand hall suddenly appear?
Even though the giant tree was large, it wasn't large enough to contain such a massive hall.
However, in an instant, Mo Tang realized that this must be another method used by a Dou Sheng to create space...
It has to be said, the methods of Dou Sheng powerhouses are truly capricious; they can create a space wherever they go.
Looking at the fiery red palace before him, Zi Hong's gaze became slightly unfocused...
"You know what? When I first saw the records of this Vermilion Bird Palace in the ancient books of the clan, I thought it was just a legend..."
Zi Hong's sudden words startled Mo Tang.
"The Vermilion Bird Palace? Have I arrived in the Primordial World? What does the Vermilion Bird have to do with this place?"
Seeing Mo Tang's bewildered expression, Zi Hong covered her mouth and giggled. "Hehehe, it seems that you, the young patriarch of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, are truly ignorant about ancient magical beasts..."
Mo Tang rolled his eyes at the woman.
"Ignorant" is a word you should use.
After laughing, Zi Hong's expression turned serious as she explained to Mo Tang, "There are four supreme ancient magical beasts: the Ancient Void Dragon, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent, and the Burning Heaven Vermilion Bird..."
Seeing Mo Tang's attentive expression, Zi Hong continued, "These four supreme beings were all powerful enough to dominate their respective regions in ancient times. Even in an era with supreme powerhouses like the Dou Di, they still led their races to stand at the pinnacle of the continent, demonstrating the immense strength of the four supreme magical beast races at that time!"
At this point, Mo Tang could clearly see a fervent adoration in Zi Hong's eyes; she clearly wished she had been born in ancient times.
"Unfortunately, the ancient Celestial Phoenix and the Nine-Headed Celestial Serpent have now become legends, while the Blazing Vermilion Bird hasn't even been mentioned... Apart from us worthless descendants, who on the entire continent still knows that such a supreme being once existed?"
