Tao Qian and Yunrong watched the boiling scene around them, the atmosphere so fervent it far surpassed the previous confrontation between the two monks.
They both felt a sense of wonder, each in their own way.
Tao Qian thought to himself, "As expected of the Devil Concubine, with just a few words, she has stirred up this group of powerful Evil Demons to such a state. One imagines that with a little more seduction and hypnosis, she could incite these Evil Demons to slaughter each other."
Yunrong, on the other hand, thought, "This stinky little sister has the body of the Heavenly Phoenix, and her soul possesses an extraordinary allure. It turns out she is quite suitable for joining my Jade Ring Mountain. Granny would probably like her very much... Hmph, but I dislike her."
As the couple each had their thoughts on Yuann Mingzhen, ten breaths of time suddenly passed.
Under the watchful eyes of thousands, the Devil Concubine standing atop the Spring and Autumn Chariot suddenly bestowed a coquettish smile.
Instantly, everyone who saw that smile felt a sense of intoxication, some of those with average Cultivation and weaker willpower even began to think, "I would die for this woman."
Then, in the next moment, the smile on her face faded, turning into a sacred and solemn expression as she slowly closed her eyes.
Suddenly, the world around them seemed to change color.
It was the start of the day with the Sun Star rising, but suddenly it was shrouded in a layer of chaotic sky curtain; a myriad of rosy rays burst forth, primarily green, with red, black, purple, white... All colors becoming more intense and accompanied by an ancient, far-reaching song that seemed to come from the primitive times.
Sacred and ancient, charming and majestic.
Even Shipi Arhat could not help but turn his head to look.
Within the rosy light that filled the province's territory, along with an unbelievable screech, a Huge Monster that could be called a divine bird flew out, her true form seemed to be constructed from rosy light and White Jade, stunning beyond compare, making it impossible for anyone to look away.
Even to Tao Qian, while it was beautiful, there was also an Abnormality.
For example, Yuann Mingzhen hadn't transformed her head away.
She revealed a body that was beautiful as though it was that of an ancient Divine Spirit, yet still bore a human head.
Despite Yuann Mingzhen's head being sacred and dignified, possessing an indescribable allure that penetrated the soul,
The combination of human head and bird body still appeared bizarre.
Tao Qian first glanced at the Record erupting in his mind: [Being subjected to the charm contamination of the Qingluan Heavenly Phoenix Origin Qi... Exempt!]
Then, he looked at the group of warlords who were becoming increasingly deranged, slipping into madness.
"Qingluan Heavenly Phoenix!"
"Ancient Alien Species, a Divine Bird from the Outer Realm."
"So beautiful, incredibly beautiful."
"In this world, there could exist such a perfect Life, I really want to eat her flesh."
"She is mine, I want to break her wings, strip her naked, break all her bones, and keep her by my side forever."
"She is mine, she will be mine, if I can't have her, I'll destroy her."
"Marry my master? No, you should marry me, you are mine, you definitely will be mine."
...
Without any warning, most of the warlords and even the Evil Demons and Loose Cultivators went mad.
Even those like Gao Tianci and Yelü Baoshan, found resisting very difficult.
Only those like Shi Zhongsheng and You Changqing, who had someone in their hearts, remained relatively at ease.
But very soon, Yuann Mingzhen emitted another sound, like a lament or a soft sigh, and she soared into the sky, dancing gracefully in the rosy light that filled the sky as she flew towards the Biwu Divine Tree at the Top of Han Mountain, planted by the founder of the Han Mountain Temple.
Almost at the same time, her enormous body's back, belly, and tail feathers shot out brilliance. Beads of a divine White Jade revealed and opened their eyes.
A ray of light turned substantial, infecting the world with a green hue, scattering down from the sky.
The world here had completely changed colors, the dance of the Heavenly Phoenix in the daylight, the ancient, melancholic songs, were pulling this territory into some kind of a Source Qi Secret Realm.
In Tao Qian's mind, another series of Records burst forth:
[Entering the Qingluan Original Qi Secret Realm... Exempt!]
[Within this Secret Realm, one can witness the true form of the Qingluan Heavenly Phoenix, witness the Heavenly Phoenix Rosy Clouds Dance, hear the song of the Qingluan Phoenix, experience the joy of flesh, peer into the secrets of Longevity... at the cost of becoming a puppet of the Qingluan.]
[To summon this Secret Realm, a Qingluan must use itself as bait to call forth the Source Qi from the Outer Realm. Afterward, all changes within the Secret Realm are controlled by the Qingluan... If no desire is harbored, there will be no control.]
[If desired and ill intentions arise, one will be implanted with a "Qingluan Jade Egg" and in the drunken dream-like state, one will entirely reveal their brutal and frenzied nature, in joy, killing, union... until returning to the essence of flesh and blood.]
[This Secret Realm can only be summoned by the bloodline of the Qingluan Heavenly Phoenix's Imperial Family, and only once every ten years, afterwards suffering the punishment of "desire burning the body."]
...
Before Tao Qian had time to grasp the true meaning of these Records,
In his Innate Spiritual Vision, a tableau that also changed his expression emerged:
The Heavenly Phoenix body with a human head, resembling an ancient Divine Spirit, as Yuann Mingzhen flapped her wings toward the Biwu Divine Tree, her tails of rosy light began to extend indefinitely, proliferating without end, ultimately turning into tendrils soft as if cast from Jade, cascading down, with blobs of White Jade-like soft and warm flesh at the ends.
In the center, a crack slowly opened with a "pop," spraying Jade Liquid, and began to shoot out Jade Eggs like a machine gun.
Those crystalline and translucent eggs, like grains of rice, dispersed like dandelion seeds.
Yet they implanted incredibly accurately into every warlord, Soldier Demon, Evil Cultivator, and Demon who were mad for Yuann Mingzhen.
Not one resisted!
Some expressed incredible joy.
One such egg seemed to play an "Evil Play," drifting towards Tao Qian, intending to burrow into his forehead.
But before the Jade Egg could test the power of the Spirit Treasure Sublime Body, with a cold hum from beside, the sound of the Golden Bell rang out, and the Jade Egg exploded alongside it.
