Chapter 1958 - Opening of Channels
The interior of the Fire Phoenix's body could not be considered large. At most, it was only a few hundred kilometers in radius.
There were many mountains, deep grasses, thick trees, and misty clouds. Amongst the forest, there were actually birds and beasts wandering about. It was a peaceful and auspicious scene. From this point of view, this world was not much different from the outside world. However, the vitality here was much denser compared to the outside world.
Just in terms of vitality alone, it was not inferior to even the "Heavenly Imperial Dragon Palace".
Tang Huan had originally thought that the space within the Fire Phoenix's body should be around the same as the space within the stomach of either the Nine Spirits or the Green Hellish Holy Dragon.
But now, Tang Huan realized that the space within the Fire Phoenix's body was actually extremely similar to her own "Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace". Although this space could not be called a cave, it still had the rudiments of a cave.
"It would truly be a pity if this space were to be destroyed."
Tang Huan sighed inwardly.
Instantly, there were tens of thousands of auras. When they entered the range of the senses, Tang Huan could not help but perk up, "They should all be cultivators from the Mountain Sea Sect." In the next moment, Tang Huan's attention shifted over. Not long later, Tang Huan caught sight of a somewhat familiar aura.
"It really is Gao Zu's Mountain and River!"
Tang Huan's eyes lit up. Gao Zuishan and the other cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Sect were now several hundred kilometers away, in the very center of the area.
With that thought, Tang Huan disappeared from the place.
In a split-second, Tang Huan appeared hundreds of meters in the sky.
Below them, five mountains thousands of meters tall surrounded the small city like stars surrounding the moon. The small city was built around a tall platform. The tall platform had a fiery red color and its shape was quite unique. Looking down from above, it seemed like a ball of spreading flames.
Within the high platform, there seemed to be countless streams of fiery light, which formed the shape of a fire phoenix.
The fire phoenix seemed to possess a life of its own as it continuously opened and closed its mouth. Its wings flapped rhythmically as the surface of its body rippled nonstop.
Instantly, Tang Huan discovered that the fire phoenix was absorbing the vitality around it.
After the life force converged on the fire phoenix from all directions, it turned into extremely pure firepower within the phoenix's body. For this reason, although there was not a single thread of heat emitted from the fire phoenix's body, there was an unusually large amount of heat contained within the fire phoenix.
As for the area around the fire platform, there were hundreds of cultivators seated.
"So that's how it is."
Seeing this scene, Tang Huan could not help but understand a bit more.
Within the Five Elements, wood could start fire.
This space was full of vitality, all for the purpose of generating pure fire power. However, this transformation could not be completed automatically. The cultivators of the Mountain Sea Sect were brought here by the fire phoenix for the sake of activating the fire array, enabling the transformation of their life force and firepower to take place at any time.
It must have been after the fire phoenix woke up that the flame platform started to revolve like this.
To be able to create such a majestic firepower in a short ten years was already extremely shocking, and furthermore, what Tang Huan felt right now, shouldn't be everything. After all, during the time when the Flowing Gold Fire Phoenix was being hunted down, it must have drawn a lot of firepower from this place to replenish its energy.
Luckily, the Fire Phoenix sucked in the space within the cave and activated the Limitless Sword Formation, imprisoning it completely. Otherwise, if the Fire Phoenix detonated the space within the cave, it would probably cause quite a bit of damage to the Illusory Sword Heavenly Palace. The existence of that sword formation made it simply not dare to entertain such thoughts.
The moment it revealed the intention to self-destruct, the ten thousand sword intents would immediately invade its body and tear it to pieces.
Now, not only was the fire phoenix imprisoned, it had lost its "Nirvana Divine Flame" as well. Even if it wanted to self-destruct, it was already too weak to do so. However, Tang Huan still had to be prepared.
Although it could not self-destruct, it was still possible to cause some harm.
For example, killing the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Sect.
It was precisely because of this that Tang Huan didn't dare to reveal her concern for Gao Zu's mountain river in front of the fire phoenix in order to avoid it noticing and threatening him.
"Hu!"
In an instant, a "Primal Chaos Origin Crystal" appeared in Tang Huan's palm.
But, before Tang Huan could activate the treasure, Jianxin's voice suddenly resounded in Tang Huan's mind: "Master, there is no need to go through so much trouble."
"Jianxin, you have a way?" Tang Huan said in surprise.
"Master."
"Don't forget, the fire phoenix is currently in the cave, and you are in the space within the fire phoenix. With just a thought, you can rely on the connection you have with the cave and channel your power into the cave, forcefully forming a path between the cave and the fire phoenix, and teleporting them out."
"Oh?"
Tang Huan was startled, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Jianxin, you're right, I'm really just a fool, but you're a spectator."
Since he had an even better method, Tang Huan immediately put away the "Primal Chaos Source Crystal" and after a short while, a majestic force pierced through the space inside the Fire Phoenix's body with the force of a thunderbolt. It descended in front of Tang Huan and started to condense rapidly.
In just a short moment, a huge vortex appeared in midair, and the terrifying power of the sucking poured down from the skies, enveloping the entire small city that was in the vicinity of the flaming platform. The small city that was originally calm immediately began to rumble with excitement, and panic filled the air.
Around the flaming high platform, hundreds of cultivators were awakened with expressions of shock.
Among this group of cultivators, there was a middle-aged man wearing a red robe who also looked around in surprise. This middle-aged man was none other than Shanhe. However, before he could discover anything, a clear voice rang in his ears, "Ancestor Gao, do not panic. I have come to save you."
"Tang Huan?"
When he heard this voice, Shanhe's body suddenly froze. A name popped out from the depths of his mind, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. However, before he could even regain his senses, the terrifying power of sucking had already completely enveloped his body, pulling him up into the air.
Mountain River calmed his mind and rushed towards the whirlpool along with the sucking. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that many of the surrounding cultivators were like him, involuntarily being sucked into the whirlpool. In the blink of an eye, the mountains and rivers were submerged in the vortex.
In the blink of an eye, all of the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Sect, including Mountain and River Sect, vanished from within the Flamephoenix's body.
Immediately after, large groups of silhouettes emerged from the edge of the Great Xuan Lake in the outside world.
