The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Yun Yici's words drew everyone's attention to the divine tree in front of them.

Wu Wang squinted and examined it carefully: "This is the Divine Wutong Tree, there's no mistake."

"As this snake-man said, perhaps a rift appeared in space and time over the past thousand years, and lake water seeped in. The five-colored soil expanded when it came into contact with water, and by some twist of fate, it provided the soil for the Divine Wutong Branch to grow."

Yun Yici said, "I heard you say before that when we were in the Land of Divine Bath, the phoenix eggs were incubated on the branches of the Divine Wutong tree."

The Divine Wutong Branch should be used by the Phoenix Clan for incubating their eggs, but it's unknown where Wuwang got it from.

"Alas! During the divine judgment back then, I was unable to defend myself and was ultimately banished to the mortal realm. This served as both punishment and a warning to other races, as well as an intention to allow me to atone for my sins."

"This Divine Wutong Branch and that Divine Bath Fruit were actually given to me by Fellow Daoist Di Zhao's father."

The emperor's body trembled slightly as he looked up at the lush canopy of the divine wutong tree.

Wu Wang lowered his head, hiding his complicated emotions: "Young friend Di Zhao, don't blame your parents for not coming to find you. As the clan leader, he had no choice in the matter."

"Furthermore, after your Phoenix Clan undergoes Nirvana, you will have no further opportunity to ascend to the Upper Realm."

"If they come down to find you, it will only be for a short time. Once you are reborn and ascend to heaven, the three of you will be separated forever."

"Your father gave me these things because they were all prepared for you."

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes...

The ladder to heaven is broken; they can't go back.

Di Zhao grew up alone in another world.

He found the imperial edict too late; he was no longer a cub that needed the divine parasol tree branch to build its nest.

As Wu Wang narrated, golden light suddenly emanated from the branches of the Divine Wutong tree, which grew in a different space.

The deep blue of the lake began to be replaced by a vibrant red.

Yun Yici was surprised to discover that the red light was actually coming from the Divine Wutong Tree.

The mysterious blue of the sycamore leaves faded, revealing their true red and gold color.

Wu Wang looked nostalgic: "The Divine Wutong Tree is definitely this color."

"I never expected that the Divine Wutong Tree could survive in the lower realm."

"This should be the only divine parasol tree in the lower realm."

The blue lake water blends with the red phoenix tree, and specks of golden light fall like stars on the red and blue lake bottom.

Yun Yici reached out her hand, and these romantic and gentle specks of light flew into her hand on their own.

The golden light had no physical form, yet it landed steadily in her palm and rolled around.

Yun Yici examined the golden light in her hand closely and could faintly see a hint of fiery red in the center.

Unexpectedly, the next second, another point of light landed perfectly in her outstretched palm, and merged seamlessly with the first point of light.

The merged light spots seemed to be larger than before.

Yun Yici said excitedly, "I know, this is the Divine Bath Fruit."

"Quickly collect these golden rays!"

As soon as Yun Yici said this, everyone rushed to collect the light spots scattered from the Divine Wutong Tree before they could ask any more questions.

There were thousands upon thousands of light spots.

But with everyone working together, in the blink of an eye, all the flying golden specks were held in their hands.

Xie Qianjue looked at the small, cherry-sized golden fruit in his hand and laughed, "I've really learned something new today."

"So this is what the young cubs of the divine realm eat when they are young."

Wu Wang said with shame, "It was Sect Leader Yun who was truly wise."

"I never expected this."

Yun Yici was handing the golden ball of light, about the size of an orange, to the Emperor.

Upon hearing this, she laughed and said, "It was all by chance."

After all, Wu Wang had only said that it was a fruit grown in the land of divine bathing, not a fruit grown by some kind of divine tree.

Before the emperor could speak, the golden ball of light in Yun Yici's hand merged with the ball of light in his own hand.

Next came Wuwang and Zhujian, and one by one, the people handed the orbs of light in their hands to the Emperor's decree.

When the last of the twilight clouds delivered the ball of light in his hand to the Emperor's decree.

The previously scattered, inconspicuous specks of light have now merged into a perfect golden fruit.

The fruit gleamed golden, weighing down the emperor's hand.

The emperor's thin lips moved slightly: "Thank you."

Wu Wang looked at the Divine Wutong Tree and instructed the Emperor, "This is definitely a Divine Bath Fruit. Although I don't know why it turned out this way, we should eat it quickly."

The emperor did not refuse and brought the divine bath fruit to his mouth.

The fruit turned into a warm liquid the moment it touched his lips and was poured directly into his mouth.

Before the emperor could even savor the taste of the Divine Bath Fruit, the primordial fire within his body ignited violently, as if fueled.

Everyone saw that Di Zhao, who had just consumed the Divine Bath Fruit, suddenly screamed and then fell to the ground.

Yun Yici was closest to him and reached out to hug him tightly.

Shen Huaichuan pushed her away first, then helped Di Zhao lie down.

"Don't get close to him. That divine fruit has ignited his primordial fire, and it looks like he's about to undergo Nirvana."

Shen Huaichuan barely managed to help the feverish Emperor Zhao lie down properly, then quickly pushed him away.

He had already transformed into a demon, and the fire from the imperial edict would harm him even more.

Yun Yici said urgently, "No, his Nirvana is destined to fail now."

"Senior Wuwang, what's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be that the Divine Bath Fruit could alleviate his symptoms?"

"Why has it gotten worse?"

Wu Wang was also frantic, pacing back and forth: "That's not right, the cubs of our clan were indeed born after receiving a blessing in the Land of Divine Bath..."

"This Divine Bath Fruit is the fruit that grows from the essence of their bathing."

"Could it be that this Divine Bath Fruit has been infected by the Divine Wutong with the power of the Five Elements Fire?"

At this moment, the imperial edict was like a fireball; no one could see the flames burning on his body, but the heat emanating from him was overwhelming.

Even the icy lake water couldn't alleviate the pain in the slightest.

Just as everyone was talking, the lake water around them was rapidly heated into scalding hot water.

The group was protected by their own protective energy, which provided some protection.

The poor snake-man was in a terrible state; the sudden rise in lake temperature scalded his exposed upper body, turning it bright red, and his tail curled up in agony.

His groan was heard immediately, and Yun Yici quickly shielded him behind the barrier.

"Is there any way to interrupt the phoenix's rebirth? We can't just leave the imperial edict here."

Wu Wang said, "You all go, I'll stay here."

"When he truly attains Nirvana, all the water here will turn into lava, and then none of us will be able to leave."

No sooner had Wu Wang finished speaking than everyone heard a loud "Aow!" coming from beside them.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the silver-white figures who had been lying on the ground jump up, yelling, "It's burning hot! What the hell!"

It turned out that the few alligator dragon demon cultivators had been awakened from their unconsciousness by being soaked in boiling water.

Shen Huaichuan waved his sleeve and immediately cooled them down.

Once the temperature returned to normal, the scalded dragon demon cultivators, who had been thrashing about, finally came to their senses and looked around.

"Oh dear, weren't you the ones who came with that dragon?"
