Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

In the dream, a dazzling light streaked across the sky, bringing with it layers of lightning across the clouds. When the light disappeared, a handsome man slowly landed in a quiet grove.

He was dressed in a plain white robe, with a long sword made of pure gold on his waist. His handsome face was a bit cold, but also warm and friendly. He walked out of the woods slowly and looked at the quiet lake in front of him.

The lake is sparkling, the sun shines on the water, creating ripples. The mountains in the distance are rolling and shrouded in clouds and mist, giving people a dreamlike feeling. All this seems to be telling the tranquility and peace here.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, immersed in the silence. Suddenly, he keenly caught a glimpse of movement coming from not far away by the lake. He frowned slightly and walked over slowly.

In a hidden corner by the lake, a woman in a white dress was squatting down slowly, caressing the water with her hands, with a focused look on her face. Her eyebrows were beautiful, her skin was white as jade, and she exuded a holy and gentle temperament.

The man stared intently, and his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the woman. At this moment, the woman suddenly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the man.

"Sir, why are you here?" the woman asked softly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

The man was slightly startled, then bowed and replied respectfully: "My dear little girl, I was just passing by here and accidentally found you. Please forgive me. I didn't expect to meet such a beautiful woman here. It is really my honor."

The woman smiled slightly, with a glimmer of wisdom in her eyes: "I see. I am the goddess Di Huang of Xuanxia Sect. I wonder who this young man is. Would you be so kind as to tell me?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So it's the goddess Di Huang, I'm really ashamed that I didn't recognize your face. I am Tianyi Sword Master of Tianyi Sect, my name is Ye Fan."

"So it's Tianyi Sword Master," the woman nodded, "I didn't expect to meet you here. I wonder if Tianyi Sword Master has anything important to do here today?"

Ye Fan smiled slightly: "I came here to practice and cultivate, but I accidentally discovered this piece of pure land, so I took a rest here. I didn't expect to meet the goddess Di Huang here, it is really my honor."

The woman nodded and said calmly: "In that case, how about we sit here together for a while?"

Ye Fan was slightly startled, then he responded respectfully: "Then I'll have to trouble the Goddess Empress Phoenix for guidance."

The two found a secluded place by the lake and sat down, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery in front of them. The lake was clear and reflected the distant mountains and white clouds in the sky, which was peaceful and tranquil.

After a long time, Ye Fan suddenly asked: "I wonder what the goddess Dihuang feels about practicing here today?"

The woman smiled and said, "I am here to cultivate and comprehend the Way of Heaven and to find the meaning of life. However, I have not yet fully understood the mystery of the Way of Heaven. I always feel that there are still some things hidden in the unknown."

Ye Fan nodded and said with emotion: "The Way of Heaven is indeed vast and infinite, and it is really difficult to know everything. However, as long as we practice step by step, we will gradually understand the mysteries."

The woman nodded thoughtfully and said, "You are right. But sometimes I feel confused and lost, and I don't know how to move forward."

Ye Fan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Goddess Dihuang is right. It is inevitable to encounter various setbacks and confusions on the road of cultivation, but the key is that we must maintain our determination and confidence and keep going. As long as we always keep our original intention in mind, believe in ourselves, and believe in the way of heaven, we will eventually understand the mystery."

The woman smiled slightly, with a soft light flashing in her eyes: "Tian Yi Sword Master is right. I will keep your teachings in mind and move forward."

The two chatted for a long time, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

"It's already so late. I should leave now." Ye Fan stood up and said to the woman respectfully.

"In that case, I should take my leave now." The woman also stood up and smiled at Ye Fan.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became overcast and thunder rumbled. The originally clear lake water suddenly became turbulent, as if something was about to fall.

Ye Fan and the woman were both startled and looked towards the horizon warily. They saw a huge figure faintly emerging from the dark clouds, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Something happened, that's..." The woman's face changed slightly and she exclaimed in a low voice.

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have encountered something unpleasant. Goddess Dihuang, you retreat to a safe place first, and I will deal with it."

The woman hurriedly stopped Ye Fan and said worriedly: "Tian Yi Sword Master, this is too dangerous. It is a terrifying monster. How can you fight it alone?"

Ye Fan smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I have my own way. Go quickly, I don't want you to get hurt."

After saying this, without waiting for the woman to say anything else, he stepped forward, sword in hand, and headed towards the terrifying figure.

The woman's heart tightened and she hurriedly chased after him, not wanting to see Ye Fan in any danger.

At this moment, the terrifying figure in the dark clouds finally fully appeared. It was a huge wolf-headed monster with a dark body and a sharp gaze, emitting monstrous evil energy. It opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, and pounced on Ye Fan.

Ye Fan leaped slightly, waving his sword to meet the attack of the demon beast. The two figures instantly entangled with each other, stirring up gusts of wind.

The woman stared at the scene in front of her in amazement, feeling worried and anxious. She had never seen such a terrifying monster before, and wondered if Ye Fan could handle it.

Ye Fan was agile, waving his sword, and constantly dispelling the monster's attack. But the monster was too powerful, and soon suppressed Ye Fan's attack, biting with teeth, waving with claws, and launching a fierce attack on Ye Fan.

The woman was so anxious that she couldn't help but shout, "Tian Yi Sword Master, be careful!"

At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly turned around, and the long sword in his hand spun rapidly, and he actually cut off the sharp claws of the monster. The monster let out a shrill scream and suddenly became very panicked.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Fan swung his sword again, and the long sword flashed with a cold light, piercing straight into the throat of the monster. With a dull thud, the monster fell to the ground and there was no more movement.

The woman stared at the scene in front of her in amazement, unable to believe her eyes. The scene just now was simply too shocking, Ye Fan's swordsmanship and fighting power were really too powerful.

Ye Fan sheathed his sword, walked slowly to the side of the woman, and smiled: "Goddess Emperor Huang, I am really sorry for disturbing you just now. But, you don't have to worry as long as I am here."

The woman nodded in a daze, and after a while she whispered, "Tian Yi Sword Master, your swordsmanship is so amazing. I have never seen such a powerful martial arts skill."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Goddess Emperor Huang. However, I can only cope with it. To truly defeat that terrifying monster, I am afraid I need to practice further."

The woman nodded, her eyes full of admiration: "Tian Yi Sword Master is indeed extraordinary. I will continue to work hard to practice and strive to fight alongside you as soon as possible."

Ye Fan smiled slightly, and reached out to stroke the woman's hair: "Goddess Emperor Huang, don't be anxious, just take your time. The road of cultivation is long, and we will work together to finally understand the mysteries of the way of heaven."

The woman looked into Ye Fan's eyes quietly, with a moving light flashing in her eyes. After a long while, she smiled slightly and said softly: "Okay, let's work hard together."

At this moment, a low roar was heard again from the horizon. The two looked closely and saw that another equally terrifying monster appeared in the dark clouds and was approaching them rapidly.

Ye Fan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "It seems that there is more trouble. Goddess Emperor Huang, you retreat to a safe place first. I will deal with it alone this time."

The woman hurriedly shook her head and said firmly: "No, Tianyi Sword Master, I will not leave. Let's fight together!"

Ye Fan was slightly startled, then smiled: "Okay, in that case, let's go together!"

The two men drew their swords again to fight, vowing to utterly slay the terrifying monster.
