The grass in the factory should be plucked

"The Western Sea?"

Jiang Li pondered, "You mean, 'the ends of the earth, the corners of the sea,' could it refer to the Western Sea?"

Xie Chang'an said, "Didn't the White Tiger Clan Chief say that there should be two more lines? Knowing the last two lines will make it easier to guess."

Jiang Li nodded: "Yes, I hope there will be records of other divine beast races."

Xie Chang'an stared intently at the unfinished map of the demon realm and pondered, "If we can't find the ancestral land of the dragon race, could we use the Western Sea as our base?"

Jiang Li frowned slightly: "That's the edge of the Demon Realm. The other side of the Western Sea is the territory of the Demon Clan!"

The Demon Realm is inherently chaotic and mixed with spiritual energy. Only the Mysterious Realm of the Demon Realm is uniquely endowed with abundant spiritual energy, making it a rare blessed land in the entire Demon Realm.

The Western Sea is adjacent to the Demon Realm, and the chaotic spiritual energy mixed with demonic energy makes it even less suitable for cultivation.

Xie Chang'an laughed and said, "We have a Dragon Palace!"

He pointed to the map, "Although I don't know the exact location of the Demon Realm, I'm certain it's extremely far from a harsh environment like the Western Sea."

"Setting up our base in the Western Sea is for two reasons: firstly, it's the most suitable place for the Dragon Palace to be in the sea; secondly, it's far from the Nine Kui's sphere of influence, allowing Egg to grow up in a safe environment."

"As for the problem of harsh environment and mixed spiritual energy," he laughed, "don't forget about Taixu. He can transport supplies. Find a well-defended canyon on the seabed, set up a spirit-gathering array, and even bury a small spiritual vein to solve the problem of insufficient spiritual energy."

Jiang Li clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling, "Brother Chang'an, you've thought of everything! We can even build an underwater city!"

Xie Chang'an recalled the Glass City of the small world and sighed softly: "Back in the lower realm, the merfolk of the South Sea built an underwater Glass City. Wu Chou loved that place the most and grew up in the Glass City since childhood."

"No worries?"

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, "Is she...my daughter?"

"Yes, Wuchou is our youngest child."

“Then… let’s build a city of glazed tiles in the Western Sea as well,” Jiang Li said softly.

Consider it a way of remembering her daughter whom she had no memory of, and hoping that all four children are doing well in the mortal realm.

"Alright, I will do my best."

Xie Chang'an's eyes welled up with tears. She knew that when Wu Chou woke up in the future and saw this glass city, she would be very happy.

After discussing it, the two decided to proceed as planned, visiting the divine beasts allied with her one by one before exploring the Western Sea.

Upon receiving the message from the White Tiger Clan Chief, the Phoenix Clan Chief had already dispatched men to guard the entrance of Qingwu Valley.

The Phoenix Clan's territory is hidden deep within the Cangwu Mountain range of the Xuantian Mountains. At the entrance of Qingwu Valley at the foot of the mountain, there is a natural illusion array that conceals this secret realm. Only members of the Phoenix Clan or those who possess the Phoenix Clan's token can freely enter and exit.

When Jiang Li and Xie Chang'an appeared at the entrance of Qingwu Valley, the Phoenix Clan Chief led the elders out to greet them.

"The presence of True Lord Chonghua and Fairy Jiang is an honor to our humble abode. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."

The Phoenix Clan Chief said with a smile.

He first exchanged pleasantries with Xie Chang'an, praising his youthful talent and extraordinary charm, and then complimented Jiang Li and Xie Chang'an as a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

While exchanging pleasantries with the two, he secretly observed Jiang Li.

When the White Tiger Clan Chief communicated with him, he was vague, only briefly describing the events of that day. He said that Fairy Jiang had a significant influence on his clansmen, whether due to her unique physique or special cultivation method.

When I met Jiang Li in Wuling Valley before, there were two layers of formations between us. Apart from thinking that the girl was very pleasing to the eye, I couldn't feel anything else.

Now that I'm in close contact with her, I only find her eyes clear and bright, and her smile sweet and charming. I haven't noticed anything special about her.

This is, of course, because Jiang Li is wearing the Hidden Spirit Jade Pendant.

The Phoenix Clan Chief cordially invited them inside to be served tea.

Jiang Li and her companion looked around and saw that the valley was full of phoenix trees, their dense shade blocking out the sun. Only the faint rays of sunlight peeked through the gaps in the leaves and fell on the moss-covered stone steps.

As you walk along the stone steps to the end, clouds and mist come towards you, and in an instant you find yourself in another world.

Jiang Li's eyes lit up as she saw the magnificent sunset swirling in the sky, casting a dreamlike glow over the mountains.

On the rolling mountain peaks grow ancient, evergreen paulownia trees, their trunks straight and tall, their verdant leaves shimmering with a glassy luster. Occasionally, a phoenix flies by, its tail feathers brushing against the treetops, as radiant as rosy clouds.

The mountain stream flowing quietly at the foot of the mountain is as clear as crystal, reflecting the drifting glow of the sunset, a truly breathtaking sight.

"Truly a blessed land!" Jiang Li exclaimed.

The Phoenix Clan Chief chuckled and said, "The two of you may bring your young master to stay for a few days."

Jiang Li sighed, "Once the young dragon wakes up, I will definitely come with him to thank all the elders in person, but I don't know when that will be."

The Phoenix Clan Chief comforted her, saying, "Divine beasts are different from ordinary demons. This deep slumber may not be a bad thing; perhaps they are advancing in their cultivation."

Jiang Li exclaimed happily, "Really? Then I'll accept your kind words, Senior!"

The Phoenix Clan's palace differs from the White Tiger Clan's in that it is built on a tall, towering phoenix tree.

That phoenix tree had been growing for countless millennia, its trunk over a hundred feet thick, its branches stretching towards the sky, blocking out the clouds and sun, and covering half of the clan's land with its dense shade.

Amidst the vigorous branches, layers of palaces, like gilded rosy clouds, are scattered among them. At the very top, the Zichen Palace perches atop the canopy of the paulownia tree, its windows crafted from black crystal. By day, it reflects the sunlight, and by night, it seems to connect with the stars, truly a scene of breathtaking beauty.

Jiang Li praised it highly again, and decided that the glass city she would build for Dandan in the future would also be just as beautiful and unique!

Upon entering the main hall, guests and hosts took their seats and were served spiritual tea and fruits.

Jiang Li then inquired about the ancestral land of the dragon clan.

The Phoenix Clan Chief's eyes were deep and thoughtful. It seemed that Fairy Jiang did not intend to entrust the young dragon to one of their clans.

He thought about it again and realized that this was acceptable. After all, she had promised the position of regent on behalf of the young dragon, and by not favoring one side, she could maintain a balance of power among the various ethnic groups.

“We also do not know where the ancestral land of the dragon clan is, but I have indeed heard of the saying ‘the ends of the earth and the corners of the sea,’” the Phoenix Clan Chief said slowly.

Jiang Li frowned slightly. "According to Senior White Tiger, there should be two more lines after this. I wonder if Senior has heard of them?"

The Phoenix Clan Chief shook his head: "Never heard of it."

Seeing Jiang Li's disappointed expression, he added, "Jiang Fairy can ask the Xuanwu Clan Chief. He is the eldest and should know more about the inside story."

Jiang Li said happily, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

She remembered something else and asked curiously, "Nowadays in the Xuantian Mountains, besides the eight royal families—the Phoenix, Qilin, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, Nine-Tailed Fox, Teng Snake, and Soul-Stealing Insect—what other races are there?"

She remembered that the Demon Emperor's investiture document also mentioned the "Imperial Consort" of the Bifang clan, so why had she never heard them mention her before?

The Phoenix Clan Chief said, "Actually, there is also the Bifang Clan, but it's almost the same as not having one, because they will soon follow in the footsteps of the Dragon Clan!"

Jiang Li was shocked. Was the Bifang clan also about to disappear?

The Phoenix Clan Chief sighed, "Now the Bifang Clan is left with only Old Bifang and an unhatched egg! It's laughable that Jiu Kui even bestowed upon him the title of Imperial Concubine. Did he expect Bifang to deliver an egg into the palace?"
