A moment later, the phoenixes landed in front of Zicomo.

Just as the largest crimson phoenix was about to question Zikomo and the others about why they had trespassed on their territory, it suddenly realized that it could not sense Zikomo's strength.

It was the leader of the Phoenix Clan, and its strength had long since reached the peak of the Refining Void and Integrating Dao realm. Yet even so, it couldn't fathom Qikomo's true strength.

It wasn't sure if it couldn't see through Zikomo because Zikomo was stronger than it, or if Zikomo had used a special method to conceal its aura.

So it cautiously asked, "Is it an immortal in person?"

Zicomo was surprised that the phoenix in front of him could speak, but considering that it was an Eastern phoenix, it didn't seem so strange.

The immortals it spoke of were the so-called terrestrial immortals, and Zicomo didn't know whether his own divine realm could be considered that of a terrestrial immortal.

So he released his divine aura and asked, "Does my aura resemble that of an immortal?"

Zicomo's words were just a simple question, but when combined with his godlike aura, they became an unpleasant interrogation in the ears of the Phoenix leader.

"Please forgive me, Immortal, I, Huang Xi, have been very offensive."

Phoenix leader, Huang Xi, quickly apologized to Qi Kemo.

The phoenix is ​​male, and the phoenix is ​​female.

Zicomo never expected that the neutral-voiced phoenix in front of him was actually female.

Judging from Huang Xi's performance, his divine realm does indeed correspond to that of a terrestrial immortal.

Judging from her tone, it seems she misunderstood Zicomo's meaning.

However, Zicomo did not explain, but instead asked: ...

Chapter 186 Fish

Zicomo asked Huang Xi, "Your name is Huang Xi, right? Could you tell me about this place?"

“Yes, Immortal.” Huang Xi nodded and said, “This place is called Woye, which is the land of my Phoenix Clan and has a history of thousands of years.”

As Huang Xi recounted her story, Qi Kemo learned about the situation of this blessed land.

Thousands of years ago, all sorts of rare and exotic animals were not uncommon, and the phoenix was no exception.

People lived alongside them in this blessed land, and the name "Woye" was given by the people of that time.

However, as is well known, compared to these rare and exotic beasts, the human population multiplied rapidly, and soon the population in the blessed land reached saturation.

In addition, due to conflicts and wars between different clans, humans eventually decided to move away from this place.

The Phoenix Clan was divided into two factions: those who were friendly with humans chose to go with them, while those who couldn't bear to leave their homeland stayed behind.

Huang Xi was one of the factions that stayed behind, but as for the faction that went out, these homebodies had no idea what was going on.

Yes, they are actually just a group of simple-minded shut-ins who, because they dislike contact with the outside world, have hidden themselves in this secluded paradise. They've even concealed the entrance to prevent anyone from disturbing them.

The red carp at the entrance were specially brought from Qingqiu by them.

To better enjoy staying at home, they made a special trip, which must have been tough on these homebodies.

It's true that shut-ins go out just to better stay at home.

In retrospect, Zicomo and his three companions were the first guests to visit this blessed land in thousands of years.

Huang Xi did not want the position of clan leader, but because she is currently the most powerful, it was her turn to become the clan leader.

Although the phoenix is ​​an immortal creature, it is reborn from the ashes every so often.

After being reborn, their strength will increase again, and during this period, the position of clan leader will be transferred to another powerful phoenix.

It felt like a college dorm with four lazybones who didn't want to clean, so to be fair, they decided to take turns.

However, Huang Xi is the clan leader most of the time. One reason is that she was the strongest at her peak, and another reason is that she is the most homebody among all the phoenixes.

Other phoenixes, tired of staying in the blessed land, would occasionally go out to play. Those who had seen phoenixes in the Kunlun Mountains, including Dumbledore, saw phoenixes leaving from here.

Huang Xi has never left her home in thousands of years.

He usually spends his time either sleeping in his secluded paradise or cultivating.

Don't assume that phoenixes don't need to cultivate. They can indeed grow by relying on the bloodline of magical animals, but after reaching a certain level, this growth stagnates.

Having lived in seclusion for thousands of years, Huang Xi had long since raised her cultivation level to the peak of the Refining Emptiness and Harmonizing with the Dao.

As for why he didn't break through to the next level of terrestrial immortal, Zicomo speculated that it might be related to the blessed land.

This is not the real world, so one cannot perceive the essence of Tao here.

However, these homebodies were unaware of this and considered it their own problem.

The higher one's cultivation level, the faster one recovers after Nirvana, so Huang Xi is at her peak most of the time. Therefore, the position of clan leader naturally fell to her.

After understanding the general situation, Zicomo said, "My friend and I are traveling around the world and have accidentally wandered into this place. We find the scenery here beautiful. Would you allow us to stay here for a while?"

Huang Xi was very polite to Qi Kemo, and Qi Kemo felt embarrassed to forcibly knock the phoenixes unconscious and take them away.

So he decided to stay and see what was going on, and also explore this blessed land.

"Please proceed, immortal."

Huang Xi did not refuse Qi Kemo's request, after all, she did not know Qi Kemo's temper.

If Zikomo gets angry because of her refusal, then they're in trouble.

Huang Xi only hoped that Qi Kemo and the others would not cause any damage to their homeland. After all, this was the place where they had lived for thousands of years, and every blade of grass and every tree was filled with affection for them.

However, what she didn't know was that soon after, Zicomo demolished the entire paradise.

Of course, this is a story.

After agreeing to Qi Kemo's request, Huang Xi took her leave with her people.

After confirming the identity of the immortal Zikomo, the phoenixes felt uneasy in the face of a powerful being.

So none of them intended to linger here.

Seeing the phoenixes leave, Zicomo calculated that it was already evening outside, and he decided to set up camp by the lake to rest for the night.

Although he had reached the level of a god and no longer needed to sleep, Zicomo still maintained the habit of sleeping.

Just as he maintained his eating habits, he enjoyed the feeling of sleeping.

Because dreams are a very mysterious thing, you never know what the next dream world will be like.

Although it is said that with certain training, people can control their dreams, Zicomo also acquired knowledge in this area.

But he didn't specifically apply this knowledge.

The wonder of dreams lies in their randomness and uncertainty.

Similarly, dreams can also inspire people.

Many writers, artists, and scientists throughout history have had their works inspired by their own dreams.

Reaching Zicomo's level naturally eliminates the worry of forgetting the content of one's dreams upon waking.

Therefore, dreams became a source of inspiration for him.

Some of Zicomo's alchemical works, his improved magic, and even his self-created magic were influenced by his own dreams.

Setting up camp was a simple matter for Zicomo; he just put the tent, which had been enchanted with the Unseen Stretching Charm, on the ground and that was it.

For the past month or so, with Huo Xuan around, it has been inconvenient for them to stay in the "Zen Garden".

Fortunately, Zicomo prepared a family tent, a must-have for wizards traveling, with three bedrooms and a living room, more than enough to accommodate four people.

After setting up his tent, Zicomo began preparing dinner. There happened to be rice paddies growing taller than trees by the lake, and Zicomo decided to try the rice.

For the main course, Zicomo simply prepared five grilled fish weighing over ten kilograms each.

He, Hermione, Lani, and Huo Xuan each had one, and the last one was prepared for Huang Xi, who was secretly observing him from not far away.

Whether out of curiosity or concern for Qi Kemo and the others, Huang Xi flew away and then quietly returned, hiding not far away to observe them.

Zicomo simply prepared one for her as well.

Dinner was quickly prepared, and Zicomo called the three women who were still strolling around the neighborhood back to eat.

He also called over Huang Xi, who was peeking from not far away.

After taking her first bite of Qi Kemo's grilled fish, Huang Xi exclaimed, "Delicious!"

Eating is one of life's great pleasures, and Zicomo certainly appreciates it.

As the saying goes, those who know how to eat may not know how to cook, but those who know how to cook will definitely know how to eat.

Zicomo is the kind of person who can both eat well and cook well. He has a good talent for cooking, and because he practices cooking often, he has developed excellent culinary skills.

Even Huo Xuan, who had practiced fasting for many years, was won over by his culinary skills. Whenever they ate outdoors during their travels, Zicomo would cook for them.

Huang Xi swallowed the whole fish in no time, and after finishing, she looked at the fish in front of the other four people with a look of lingering satisfaction.

Zicomo had no choice but to give her another test.

This time, Huang Xi learned her lesson and didn't swallow it whole.

Instead, it transformed into a human form, chewing slowly and deliberately in small bites.

Hermione was quite shocked by her ability to transform into human form.
