Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

The anticipation is rising quietly in my heart, and the attraction is surging like an undercurrent. The narrative is tense and turbulent, and the contradictions in the story are on the verge of breaking out. Readers can deeply empathize with it.

That day, Di Huang came to a remote valley alone. There were mountains and ridges here, and clouds and mists lingering around, as if it was isolated from the world. She walked slowly and lightly, observing the surrounding scenery. Suddenly, she felt a strong energy flowing nearby, and she couldn't help but be alert.

She listened attentively, and could only hear a faint sound coming from the forest. Di Huang narrowed her eyes and moved cautiously towards the source of the sound. Turning around a rock, she was surprised to see a man in a green robe sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a mysterious atmosphere.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Di Huang asked in a deep voice.

The man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, and Di Huang couldn't help but shudder. But she suppressed her inner uneasiness and stared at him coldly.

"Oh, I didn't expect someone would come here to disturb me." The man said calmly, "But since you have already discovered me, there is nothing I can do. I will tell you, my name is Yun Hao, and I am the owner of this valley."

Di Huang was a little surprised. She didn't expect the other party to admit his identity so frankly. She narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at the man in front of her. She saw a faint contempt between his eyebrows, and his eyes were sharp and cold, which made people feel a strong sense of oppression.

"I see. In that case, I won't bother you any more." Emperor Huang said as he was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Yun Hao suddenly spoke, his tone was a little anxious, "Since you are already here, why not stay. I can teach you some secrets, I believe it will be very helpful to you."

Di Huang was slightly stunned, looking at the man in front of her uncertainly. She really couldn't understand why this man, whom she had never met before, would invite her to stay so enthusiastically. Could he have some intention?

Seeing that Emperor Huang had not responded, Yun Hao smiled and continued, "I believe you have also discovered that the energy fluctuations here are very strong. I can teach you how to use this energy to make your cultivation advance by leaps and bounds. Of course, this is just a small token of my appreciation. It doesn't matter if you are not interested."

Emperor Huang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, since you said so, I will stay and take a look."

Yun Hao's eyes flashed when he heard that, but he quickly regained his composure, "Very good, then please follow me." As he said that, he stood up and led the way, and Di Huang followed.

The two of them passed through the mountains and forests and came to a cave hidden in the mountain stream. The environment outside the cave was quiet, and the layout inside the cave was simple but elegant. Yun Hao led Di Huang to a small practice room and signaled her to practice there.

"This is my place of practice. You can practice well here. I will guide you and hope it will be helpful to you." Yun Hao said, looking at Emperor Huang.

Di Huang nodded and immediately began to practice. Under Yun Hao's guidance, she soon felt the energy fluctuations here and began to try to mobilize and use them. At first she had some difficulties, but under Yun Hao's patient guidance, she soon mastered the trick.

In this way, Di Huang practiced for several days. During this period, Yun Hao often observed from the side and occasionally gave her some suggestions and advice. Di Huang also gradually became curious about this mysterious man and couldn't help wanting to explore his identity and origins.

Finally, after a training session, Emperor Huang mustered up the courage to ask, "Senior Yun, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, just ask." Yun Hao smiled slightly.

"Who are you and why do you choose to live in seclusion here? Also, why do you want to help me practice?" Emperor Huang looked directly into Yun Hao's eyes, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Yun Hao pondered for a moment and slowly said: "I am an old Taoist who has practiced for many years and has mastered many secret techniques. The reason why I chose to live in seclusion here is because the geographical location here is remote, which allows me to concentrate on my practice without being disturbed by the outside world. As for why I want to help you, it is because I have taken a fancy to your talent for cultivation and hope to teach you some secret techniques so that you can break through the bottleneck as soon as possible."

Emperor Huang nodded, as if she understood something. But she couldn't help asking, "Why did you choose me? I'm not the only one in this valley."

Yun Hao smiled slightly, "You are right. But, since you came here, I have been observing you and found that your cultivation talent is extraordinary. So, I took the initiative to invite you to stay. As for the others, I have also invited them, but they either had too low cultivation or had incompatible personalities, so they were unable to stay."

When Di Huang heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. But she still believed Yun Hao's words and didn't ask any more questions.

In this way, Di Huang stayed in the cave to practice. Under Yun Hao's guidance, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and she soon broke through the bottleneck. She also gradually developed trust and affection for Yun Hao.

However, just as Emperor Huang was immersed in training and learning, an unexpected event broke the tranquility.

One day, Emperor Huang was practicing, and suddenly she felt the energy fluctuations around her change violently. She immediately stopped practicing and looked around vigilantly.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. It was a man with disheveled clothes and a panicked look.

"Hurry, hurry and save me! Someone is chasing me!" the man shouted breathlessly.

Emperor Huang recognized that this man was a monk who had visited here before. She was startled. Did something happen?

Just as the man finished speaking, two more figures came out from outside and were approaching here quickly. Emperor Huang took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp - those two people were two masters with extraordinary cultivation!

"Oh no, those two people are chasing us!" the man said in panic, asking Di Huang for help.

Di Huang immediately prepared for battle. She didn't know what had happened, but she had to protect the man's safety at this moment.

At this time, Yun Hao also walked out of the inner room. He frowned and asked in a cold voice: "What happened? Why did someone break into my cave?"

When the man saw Yun Hao, he immediately rushed over and said, "Senior, please save me! Those two people want to kill me!"

Yun Hao glanced at the two masters calmly and said in a cold voice: "How dare you trespass into my territory without permission? You really don't know how to live or die."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly slapped out with his palm, and a surge of energy immediately poured out, directly knocking the two masters back dozens of steps. The two of them changed their faces, obviously not expecting the other party to be so powerful.

Seeing this scene, Di Huang couldn't help but take a breath. She had never thought that Yun Hao's cultivation was so terrifying that he could easily deal with two such powerful masters.

"Since you have trespassed into my territory without permission, don't even think about leaving alive!" Yun Hao said in a cold voice, and then he swung out with his palm, and a powerful energy wave swept towards the two masters.

The two masters saw that the situation was not good and immediately tried their best to resist. But in the end, they were still shaken by the energy wave and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Di Huang felt an unprecedented sense of awe in her heart. Only then did she truly realize that this seemingly ordinary Taoist priest in front of her actually possessed such terrifying strength.

"Remember this, if you dare to come to my territory again, I will not let you off easily!" Yun Hao said in a cold voice.

The two masters showed fear on their faces and hurriedly retreated. The man who had hurriedly fled into the cave abode earlier had already disappeared without a trace.

Di Huang looked at Yun Hao hesitantly, not knowing how to start.

Yun Hao sighed and walked towards Di Huang, "What happened just now must have scared you. But you also saw that I do have some unique skills. Since you are also practicing here, I must protect your safety."

Di Huang nodded and involuntarily moved closer to Yun Hao. She was extremely shocked at the moment and could not believe that the man in front of her was so powerful.

"I...I don't know what happened just now. Why was that man being chased?" Di Huang asked in a low voice.

Yun Hao smiled slightly, "That man is called Qin Yu, and he is a cultivator. Not long ago, when he was training outside, he accidentally got an extremely precious treasure. And those two people are the strong men who want to seize this treasure."

Emperor Huang frowned, "Then why did he flee here? Shouldn't he protect the treasure himself?"

Yun Hao sighed, "He originally wanted to seek my protection. But it seems that those two people are too powerful for him to deal with. That's why he fled here in a panic."

Di Huang nodded, seeming to understand the situation. But she still couldn't help asking: "Then why did you help him? Isn't this something you should be responsible for?"

Yun Hao smiled slightly, "This is indeed not my business. However, since he has escaped to my territory, I naturally have to protect his safety. Besides, I don't want to see this place destroyed by those two people."

Di Huang nodded, and her favor towards Yun Hao deepened. Although she didn't quite understand the reason, she could at least feel the other party's kindness.

At this moment, a cultivator suddenly came from outside and came to Yun Hao panting.

"Senior, this is bad! The incident of those two people chasing Qin Yu has caused a big chaos! We disciples have been involved in it and we don’t know what to do!" the cultivator said anxiously.

Yun Hao frowned slightly, "What on earth happened?"

The monk quickly explained: "Just now, those two strong men have been chasing Qin Yu, and finally even our disciples were implicated. Although we tried our best to stop them, several of our companions were still seriously injured. Now they are recovering from their injuries, and we really can't deal with those two people. I hope the senior can help us!"

Yun Hao pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "If that's the case, then I can't just ignore it. You guys go back and take care of your companions, I'll be there soon."

The monk was immediately delighted when he heard this, "Thank you so much, senior! I will go back and inform everyone now!" After saying this, he left in a hurry.

Emperor Huang couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw this. "Senior Yun, are you really going to help? Those two strong men sound very powerful. It would be bad if you get hurt too."

Yun Hao smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I know what to do. Besides, since they are already running wild in my territory, I have to intervene. You should practice well here, and I will continue to guide you when I come back."

After saying that, Yun Hao turned and left, leaving Di Huang alone in the cave with a worried look on his face.

Di Huang looked at Yun Hao's back, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't understand why Yun Hao took the lead and risked his life to help those strangers. Was it just because they were running wild in his territory?

After a long while, Yun Hao finally returned to the cave exhausted. Emperor Huang immediately went to meet him, "Senior Yun, are you okay?"

Yun Hao smiled slightly, "I'm fine, but those two guys were quite strong, so it took me a lot of effort. But I finally drove them out."

Emperor Huang breathed a sigh of relief, then asked carefully: "So you went there to protect those disciples?
