Jiuli World, Heavenly River State, Sangnan Clan.

Mu Sang the Ancestor is currently entertaining a guest of extraordinary identity, the High Priest of the Nine Phoenix Tribe.

Among the barbarian tribes of Jiuli World, the Nine Phoenix Tribe ranks in the top five in terms of strength.

This High Priest has already become a Great Witch and has glimpsed the key to the Nine Phoenix True Body.

Nine Phoenix is one type of the legendary nine-headed bird.

Back then, there were many types of legendary nine-headed birds, such as Gui Che, Gu Huo Niao...

Some were different names for the same nine-headed bird, while some were different kinds of nine-headed birds. It's said that the Taoist magic of Three Heads and Six Arms drew inspiration from the nine-headed bird.

The Great Witch before him is called Five Phoenix, owing to his Nine Phoenix True Body currently having five heads.

Five heads mean he has five lives.

These five lives not only allow five heads to be chopped but indeed are five full lives.

Even if shattered and his Divine Soul destroyed by powers, he can still revive, only losing one life.

Thus, at the beginning of the Taixu Universe, the first generation Nine Phoenix Great Witch was terrifying, dominating the Taixu Universe without anyone daring to provoke.

After all, when they fight, they truly don't fear for their lives.

Later, the Taoist Gate rose, and the Barbarian Witches gradually quieted down, withdrawing from the grand stage of the Taixu Universe, leaving only the Jiuli World to preserve the seeds of future rise.

An ordinary Great Witch can withstand a Heavenly Immortal, while those with special titles like Chi You, Nine Phoenix, are at the Taiyi, Daluo levels.

Now in the Taixu Universe, it is agreed that a Great Witch with a special title has combat power even stronger than ordinary Taiyi, Daluo, but Taoist Gate's Taiyi, Daluo possesses something these Great Witches lack, which is that Taiyi, Daluo can understand the Heavenly Secret.

It is said within the Taoist Gate, divine skills cannot compare to the heavenly numbers.

Comprehension of the Heavenly Secret determines the strength of Daluo or Taiyi.

Now the Taoist Gate calls this ability Taoist Practice.

Higher Taoist Practice of Taiyi, Daluo results in naturally terrifying strength.

Yet, there are gurus within the Taoist Gate imitating the Witch Clan, taking the path of breaking the Dao with force.

For example, the Four Great Daoist Sects have a cultivation technique, claiming that if you can accumulate mana for a measure of tribulation, you will unquestionably step into the second stage of Daluo.

If one can gather immeasurable tribulation's mana, they can directly break the Dao with force, achieving the Three Purities Realm.

An immeasurable tribulation is the process of the Taixu Universe from birth to extinction.

Logically speaking, if truly living so long, even without cultivating this Magic Door, there is a high probability of cultivating to Taixu Universe's highest realm—the "Three Purities Realm".

Or perhaps, only by cultivating to the "Three Purities Realm", can one escape the natural birth and extinction of the Taixu Universe.

In the Taixu Universe, for all practicing beings, its birth and extinction is an inevitability, akin to the cycle of life and death of mortals.

The process of death is not equal, but the outcome of death is nearly the same for all beings.

Unless one reaches the levels of "Three Purities" or "Haotian".

This realm is also known as "Great Heavenly Venerate" or Heavenly Emperor.

Haotian's status in the Taixu Universe is even supreme, for Haotian can also be termed "Great Heavenly Venerate", but Three Purities cannot be termed Heavenly Emperor.

Since the birth of the Taixu Universe, none have reached the "Haotian" Realm.

Along the path to Haotian, the ultimate previously is "Ziwei",

Yet the past generation "Ziwei" fell while impacting the road to Haotian.

In present times, the pinnacle of this path is "True Martial".

True Martial represents the Haotian Dao, also a branch of Taixu Daoist Sect, closely related to Jiuli World's Jiuli Tribe.

Due to True Martial's numerous potential allies, so within the Taixu Universe, it is acknowledged this generation's True Martial can achieve accomplishments surpassing "Ziwei", with hope to step into "Haotian Realm".

The condition is, the world no longer produces Ziwei.

Because within the Heavenly God Path, True Martial is naturally under Ziwei's banner.

Ziwei absence in the world allows True Martial to take over everything of Ziwei.

If Ziwei returns, how will this account be settled?

Moreover, even though Ziwei had many enemies while alive, they also had many friends.

However, the past generation Emperor Ziwei was jointly slain by the Taixu Mirror and Taiqing Bell, making the likelihood of returning very small.

Precisely because Emperor Ziwei glimpsed Taixu Mirror and Taiqing Bell, it led to the damage of the two mysterious artifacts, and amid the struggle, they vanished without a trace.

Originally, Taixu Mirror imprisoned destiny, Taiqing Bell stabilized Yin Yang.

Therefore, all living beings in the Taixu Universe have their destiny predetermined.

Since Taixu Mirror shattered and disappeared, destiny became obscure, causing all predeterminations to have the possibility of variation. Of course, the inertia of destiny is large, and the fate of the vast majority of beings still flows according to the original predetermination.

For Taiyi, Daluo, or even powerful Heavenly Immortals, it is easy to calculate the Heavenly Secret, even peering into parts of the fate of beings of lower levels than them, but Great Witches cannot do this.

Even Nine Phoenix, Chi You, or the ultimate realm of Witch—Ancestor Witch cannot achieve this.

But Witches are naturally able to communicate with heaven and earth, commanding the great forces of nature.

This seems rather peculiar.

Five Phoenix Great Witch in fact has strong opinions about the defects of "Witch", but sadly, he has already become a Great Witch and cannot reincarnate to pursue the orthodox path of Mystical Sect.

Even if given a chance, he might not be willing to give up.

Though he cannot see the future clearly, he constantly feels a sense of crisis.

This is what makes Five Phoenix Great Witch special.

Despite having five lives, he is more cautious than any Great Witch about preserving his life.

Nine Phoenix State is actually far from Heavenly River State, yet the appearance of special goods from Heavenly River State in Nine Phoenix State arouses Five Phoenix Great Witch's vigilance.

Unlike other lazy Great Witches who lie flat, his ambition is far-reaching, even beyond the Barbarian King that has become Chiyou's True Body.
