Changning gasped when he saw these divine trees, and approached the Shenmu Forest in shock, Mu Linyuan was not at ease to follow her, Changning raised his hand and picked two fresh fruits, washed them and handed one to Mu Linyuan, and the other put it in his mouth and took a bite, only to feel that the juice was sweet and sweet, and she couldn't help but eat the whole fruit.

Mu Linyuan didn't stop Changning's move, his divine sense was much wider than Changning's, as soon as he entered the Demon Suppression Tower, he found that there were dozens of more spiritual veins below, and there were even five spiritual vein sources, Mu Linyuan's divine sense swept several times before he was sure that he was not wrong, no matter who the person who took care of this Demon Suppression Tower was, he wanted to harm He'er, so he didn't have to be so troublesome. Mu Linyuan also took a bite of the spirit fruit, he was not able to taste the taste like Changning, but he could feel that the aura in this spirit fruit was weak but extremely pure, more pure than the aura in the spirit vein, and eating ten with his cultivation was enough for a day's cultivation, "He'er, do you know what this spirit wood is?" ”

"They are Qingwu Sacred Trees, transplanted from the ancestral phoenix phoenix sacred tree, and most of the phoenix perched trees of the Feng clan are Qingwu sacred trees. The effect of this divine wood is not as good as one ten-thousandth of the Fengqi Divine Tree, but it is also a treasure against the sky for ordinary monks, the floral fragrance has the effect of nourishing the Yuan Shen, and the aura of the Qingwu Divine Wood fruit is pure. I heard Chu Jiufeng say that the cubs of the Upper Realm Feng Clan usually don't use spirit stones for cultivation, and they all rely on eating green sycamore and vermilion fruits to cultivate. Changning felt that they were quite pitiful, they had eaten these two fruits for a thousand years, and they were tired of eating them.

Changning was thinking about it, and suddenly found that there were bamboos mixed in the Qingwu Divine Wood Forest, but these bamboos were also cyan, so she didn't find it for a while, she looked at it carefully, and exclaimed: "Qinglei Divine Bamboo!" ”

The Green Thunder Divine Bamboo is a spiritual bamboo that grows after the Chaos Divine Thunder Bamboo is transplanted! Chaos God Thunder Bamboo and Fengqi Divine Wood are all well-known spiritual roots in Chaos, they are not among the top ten spiritual roots of Chaos because these two spiritual plants are the companion spiritual roots of the gods, not the spiritual roots generated separately, the Fengqi Divine Tree is the companion spiritual root of the ancestor Feng Taiyi Shenjun, and the Chaos God Thunder Bamboo is the companion spiritual root of the Chonghua Divine Monarch.

Fengqi Shenmu will bloom as soon as one yuan, one yuan will bear fruit, one yuan will mature, and one yuan will be edible. It is said that when an immortal smells the fragrance of flowers, he can get ten thousand years of Taoism, and he will become a fairy when he eats one. And it is surrounded by chaotic vitality, which is one of the few places in the upper realm where there is still chaotic vitality. The ancestors of the Phoenix clan had planted the Qingwu Divine Tree from the branches of the Fengqi Divine Tree given by the ancestor Feng, and the Qingwu Divine Wood was not as effective as the Fengqi Divine Tree.

But with the seclusion of the ancestral phoenix, the Fengqi Divine Tree has never reappeared, and the Feng clan will call the Qingwu Divine Tree raised by the emperor of the clan as the Fengqi Divine Tree. This kind of Fengqi Divine Tree does not have the effect of the ancestral phoenix divine tree, but with the improvement of the phoenix's cultivation, it can become a world tree, and most of the divine kingdoms of the Feng Emperor's divine kingdom are built with the help of the Fengqi Divine Tree. At present, the upper realm territory of the Feng clan is built on the Fengqi Divine Tree of the ancestor of the Feng clan.

Chaos Divine Thunder is the heavenly thunder that exists in chaos, if there is anything that can deal with the gods and those innate chaos treasures is the Chaos Divine Thunder, the Chaos Divine Thunder is out of all things, but the Chaos Divine Thunder is both the main destruction and the main birth, so Chonghua Shenjun is the most innate god who is best at the way of life and death. His companion Spirit Treasure Silent Sword, which was also the most terrifying innate chaos treasure of the Demon God during the Great War of the Ancient Gods and Demons, was the first of the ten murderous weapons of the Taigu.

The origin of the human race is very complicated, many gods have created the human race, among which the most famous is Emperor Wa, she is also the human emperor who cares about the human race the most. And Chonghua Shenjun is also the first emperor of the human race, because he was born in human form, many human monks finally visualize his Dharma appearance and cultivate according to him. The Green Thunder Divine Bamboo is a branch of the Chaos God Thunder Bamboo, and like the Qingwu Divine Tree, they are not as effective as the Chaos God Thunder Bamboo, but the bamboo and bamboo leaves have the effect of refining and nourishing the body.

Changning turned his head stupidly and said to his senior brother: "Senior brother, pinch me!" Am I dreaming? ”

Mu Linyuan laughed, "I didn't dream!" It's true! ”

Changning was stunned for a while, and happily wanted to flip his heels, "Senior brother! Brother! My Sun is too Yin True Fire Sword to have a material! My Liujing Jade Wheel Lamp also has a wick material! "This girl has been practicing for a long time, and her favorite thing is to hit people with big sticks and set fire to people! With the material, Changning's brain is open, she can make a scabbard that can smash people for the Sun Taiyin True Fire Sword, usually use the scabbard to smash people, and if there are more enemies, she will burn the sword! Mu Linyuan smiled and let the little girl happily shuttle in the Shenmu Forest, Changning treasures were used to seeing them, and she calmed down after a while, "Senior brother, let's go to Qingwuju." "The Demon Suppression Tower has changed greatly, I don't know what happened to Qingwu Curie?

Changning pulled his senior brother into Qingwuju, and the two of them were mentally prepared, and they were also shocked by Qingwuju. A towering Qingwu giant tree standing in the middle of the Qingwu Center, up and down can not see the ground, the courtyard of the Qingwu House has been completely destroyed, the shell field, the spiritual veins are all there, but under the giant tree, there is a white mist steaming spiritual spring, even with Mu Linyuan's cultivation, smelling the white mist of the spiritual spring, he has the urge to sit down and refine, he feels that this spiritual energy is enough for him to cultivate for two or three days.

"Auntie!" Shen Baobao, Jade Toad, Red Ying and several other little demons ran out with tears in their eyes, and the great changes in Qingwuju frightened them, especially Shen Baobao, as a little overlord who was a blessing and a powerful person in Qingwuju, he has always occupied the position with the strongest spiritual veins in Qingwuju, but since the big change in Qingwuju last night, the body of the little fat ginseng was kicked out by those domineering spirit plants, it held its body and whimpered in Changning's arms, Changning kissed and hugged it distressedly, and repeatedly promised to find the best place for it, before the little fat ginseng laughed.

Changning sobbed under the narration of the jade toad, and roughly understood that this space had changed last night, she looked at the big tree in the center of Qingwu Ju, and the royal qi was close to the big tree, and the big tree actually built a living room with green leaves, which was rich in aura, and even had a hot spring for grooming in one of the places, which was obviously for Changning to live in.

Mu Linyuan smiled: "It seems that I don't need to build you a residence." ”

Changning nodded: "I like it here!" "After all, she is a phoenix, she is naturally close to nature, and this huge green sycamore divine tree is tempting her to live all the time. Except for Shen Baobao, the other demons liked it very much, and the red tassels were flying happily on the big trees.

Mu Linyuan's divine sense swept the Qingwu Residence, and found that there was not much spiritual veins here, but the spiritual power was rich and pure, and Cheng Dù was even more powerful than the Demon Suppression Tower in the outside world, and most of the divine trees here were mainly Qingwu Divine Trees and Qinglei Divine Bamboo, and occasionally many fruit trees were planted, Mu Linyuan guessed that these were all snacks for He'er. With these things, he was relieved to go to the starry sky for a long time. Mu Linyuan also guessed that the person who modified the Demon Suppression Tower could only be Crane Father or other elders, and this method was not something that ordinary immortals could do in the upper realm. "Do you want to choose a Qingwu Divine Tree as a phoenix perch?" Mu Linyuan asked.

Changning shook his head, "Wait until I find my father and mother, the phoenix's phoenix perch generally takes the branch of the parent phoenix's phoenix perch." Atul said that she would soon see her father, and he would definitely not lie to himself.

The Demon Suppression Tower is divided into nine floors, each floor is an independent space, the ninth floor was created before the zào Heavenly Demon puppet soldiers and warriors lived, and now the ninth floor is divided into two, one is the Divine Wood Forest; One is the original place of the Demon Suppression Tower, the spirit bamboo forest transplanted by Changning from Baiyujing and the original facilities of the Demon Suppression Tower are all in this place, and the aura inside is also richer than before, because there is an additional spirit spirit vein and a superb spirit stone vein below, but it is definitely not as rich and pure as the Shenmu Forest, and it is not as rich and pure as Qingwuju.

Mu Linyuan looked at the changes in the Demon Suppression Tower, and improved the original plan in his heart, this improvement of the buildings he designed was not needed, but other places can be improved, Mu Linyuan sent Mu Da and them away, and they were not needed for the time being.

Changning pulled his senior brother to sit down and asked him how he was preparing to go to the starry sky? Mu Linyuan is a meticulous person, he went to the starry sky to improve himself rather than seek death, naturally the materials on his body are sufficient, even if he is locked up in a secret realm that cannot be escaped, there are enough cultivation resources, and he has even prepared several storage bags that mortals can use, which are filled with spirit stones.

The Spirit Spirit Stone can restore spiritual power and is the main material for refining the Spirit Bead. The spirit stone can supplement the spiritual power of the monk, but the spiritual power in the spirit stone must be refined before it can be used by the monk, and the spiritual power in the spirit bead is input by the monk himself, which can be directly absorbed and used, especially during the battle. After Changning handed over the spirit essence to him, he refined two strings of spirit bead bracelets overnight, and shared one with Changning alone.

Changning diligently took the bracelet and put it on, and sorted out his bags with his senior brother. There are not many spiritual veins in the Mu Linyuan Cave Mansion, but the spiritual shell field is very large, Changning thought about it, and still divided a spiritual vein from the Divine Wood Forest, she was afraid that her senior brother would not accept it, and she did not forget to explain: "Senior brother, I agree with you going to the starry sky to experience and increase your knowledge, but I don't want you to run around all day long for cultivation resources, after all, cultivation is the most important thing, and experience is only a way to advance." You don't have to feel embarrassed to take my things, these are the icing on the cake for me, but they are a blessing to you, if you feel that you can't take it for nothing, you can just give me back double in the future. ”

Mu Linyuan sighed lightly, hugged her and kissed her forehead, "Okay." Mu Linyuan has gradually thought about it, the crane loves beauty so much, but he doesn't care that he will be bald, and plucked the tail feathers for her, if he is rejecting her kindness, it is not good. And he hopes that it will be advanced early, and not taking the crane's spirit spirit will only delay their time together, and he will return it to the little girl a hundred times in the future.

Seeing that Senior Brother agreed, Changning smiled crookedly: "Senior Brother, you don't have to worry too much about separating between us, as long as we have each other in our hearts, no one can break us up." Even if—" She paused and said, "Even if my father and mother oppose it, I will try to make them accept you, and it will not be achieved in a thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years...... What we have is time. "Changning will not disobey her parents and parents for the sake of her senior brother, but she will try her best to tell them with her actions, and her senior brother is the best.

"Don't worry, I'll work with you." Mu Linyuan assured.

Changning laughed suddenly, "Senior brother, the heart mantra is very good, if you pass by a planet that you haven't believed in, leave a mantra behind, and accumulate some power of faith, the power of faith is not only the key to your advancement, but also the key to the advancement of your natal magic weapon, only if your natal magic weapon is promoted to an artifact, you can advance to the Xuan Immortal." ”

"What does an artifact do?" Mu Linyuan has always thought that the magic weapon refined by the gods is an artifact, but now listening to the meaning of He'er's words, it seems that the artifact has another mystery.

"In terms of power, the magic weapon will not increase much power if it is promoted to an artifact, but the artifact has the advantage that a magic weapon does not have is that it can suppress its own luck and prevent it from being lost. As long as the owner of the artifact stays in a certain place long enough, the sect where the master is located, and even the luck of the star field can be connected to the artifact, which can avoid disasters and eliminate disasters, and even change the star grid of the star field where it is located. ”

People have the fortune of life, and the stars also have the luck of the stars, and the luck of the stars determines how many cultivation resources the stars will have. If the secret that the artifact can change the life character is revealed, all the monks will go crazy, and they will enslave mortals like cattle, forcing mortals to believe in themselves, which is why the promotion to Xuan Immortal has always been a tacit secret in the upper realm. For those who don't have a good heart, it's better to not know some secrets.

"Since the artifact is so useful, why did Tianxuan give you the Demon Suppression Tower?" Mu Linyuan's first thought was Tianxuan's intention, he gave He'er such a precious treasure, did he still want to use He'er?

"Strictly speaking, the Demon Suppression Tower is no longer an artifact, everyone calls him an artifact just because he is a magic weapon used by the gods." Changning explained: "There is only one owner of the artifact, that is, the master of the power of faith, once the master of the power of faith falls, the power of faith will also overflow, even if the artifact has a spirit of the instrument, it does not increase the effect of luck, it is just an ordinary magic weapon." And this demon suppression tower weapon has been extinguished, and its spirituality has been completely lost, and it is almost reduced to a magic weapon. The Heart Mantra Sutra must be a practice created by the ancient powerful monk in order to collect the power of faith, and Hate Tian as an emperor must have refined his natal magic weapon into an artifact, and the Nether Heart Mantra will be so evil, it is caused by his unauthorized tampering. ”

When Mu Linyuan heard this, he said: "Then you put all your silver shark soldiers in the Demon Suppression Tower, they may not be able to help you much, but they can definitely provide you with the power of faith." "In the past, He'er didn't like to bring silver shark soldiers because she didn't want to get along with so many people day and night, but now the Demon Suppression Tower is big enough and has separated countless spaces, so it doesn't matter if she brings silver shark soldiers or not.

"Won't they be bored?" Changning has always felt that it is cruel to lock up intelligent beings in the portable cave mansion. It's okay if it's a mortal, after all, most of the ancients may never leave their village for the rest of their lives, but the monks should be free.

"You can ask them if they'd like to." Mu Linyuan said that as Dao soldiers specially cultivated by the Taishang Sect, they had no freedom, and it was a blessing for them to follow He'er in their previous lives, who could casually follow a master who was Jin Feng?

"Okay, if they want to, I'll renovate the ninth floor to make them more comfortable." Changning said that she didn't want her senior brother to worry about herself anymore, "Senior brother, have you figured out the flying magic weapon you need to use to go to the starry sky?" ”

"I use a Kunpeng boat." After Mu Linyuan was promoted to the fourth layer, the sixth layer of the Kunpeng ship was enough to sail in the starry sky, and the speed would definitely not be very fast, but he could practice while walking, and if he reached the eighth layer as soon as possible, the speed of the eighth layer would be extremely fast.

Changning nodded, thinking that he had also advanced to the Jindan, and he could continue to refine the Kunpeng Boat, although the Demon Suppression Tower was good, after all, it was not easy to show up in front of outsiders.

"He'er, do you want Feng Sheng to follow you?" Mu Linyuan thought of the phoenix perch again, he didn't want to go to the starry sky and take him with him.

"Don't!" Changning doesn't like Feng Sheng, this person is not right, "Senior brother simply broke his contract, and when I go to the upper realm, take him back to the upper realm, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the promise." As for how he walked down the road, it was none of her business.

Mu Linyuan thought that he didn't let go of Feng Sheng before because he was worried that He'er's identity would be exposed, but now that the high-level leaders of the Yu clan knew that He'er had saved Zài, no one would be unfavorable to her if she wanted to come to the Nether, "Okay." "Mu Linyuan never forced the acceptance of wise spirit pets, which would only bring danger to himself.

Changning thought of something again, "Senior brother, I have two Spirit Devouring Worm eggs here, you keep one for yourself, and keep one for the sect to cultivate." Changning said the method of raising the spirit devouring worm, Mu Linyuan even accepted the spirit essence vein, and he would not refuse a single worm egg. Changning saw that his senior brother seemed to want to open up, so he happily pulled him to practice in Qingwuju together, and pulled his senior brother to play chess, cook tea and play the piano in his spare time, and lived a very leisurely life. Changning handed over the cultivation of the Soul Eater to Jade Toad, who carefully cultivated the Soul Eater Worm, drooling over the fat eggs every day, thinking about the bright future of eating and drinking after the Soul Eater was conceived.

Mu Linyuan also seemed to have put down all the important things, concentrating on accompanying Changning, occasionally going out in order to transform the Demon Suppression Tower, the silver shark soldiers heard that the master still wanted them, and they were moved to cry bitterly, and there was something they didn't want to do? They don't know Changning's identity, but Changning has a bright future in Taishang Sect, he is generous and gentle, he seriously teaches them to cultivate, plans for them, and never treats them as cannon fodder, what else can he ask for when he encounters such a master as a Taoist soldier?

Seeing that they really wanted to follow him, Changning simply asked people to carve a statue of themselves out of the wood of the god cultivation, let the magic puppet possess the statue, and told the silver shark soldiers that they had problems with their cultivation, or if they had any other requirements, they could sue the statue, and she would try her best to solve the problem for them. The silver shark soldiers set up a temple for Changning in the demon suppression tower, offering incense every day, although there is no power of faith formed at present, but Changning believes that with the accumulation of time, there will always be a day when the power of faith will be obtained, and if you want to have a bumper harvest, you must pay first.

Half a year has passed so unhurriedly, and the sect's trip to the stars is almost ready, Taishangzong has always known that the starry sky can increase experience, but except for a few scattered immortals in the sect, no one will choose to go to the starry sky lightly, Taishangzong inherits the ancient sword sect, and it is enough to gain a foothold in this star, but these backgrounds are not enough to support them to go to the starry sky, those monks who left the stars have never returned, and some even have extinguished the Yuanshen lamp.

And this time Mu Linyuan's trip was led by people from the upper realm, and many people in the Taishang Sect were excited, including the Yuanying monks who had no hope of going to the starry sky to find an opportunity, and there were also scattered cultivators who could not ascend to the realm of stagnation, and they were ready to enter Mu Linyuan's cave at that time, and then come out after going to the starry sky. Changning was in the dark line, she didn't think that Uncle Kill would care about the number of people who went to the starry sky, anyway, he would bring it once. But she also repeatedly reminded everyone that the starry sky is dangerous! She really doesn't want everyone to take the risk! The serious appearance amused many people, and attracted many monks to touch their heads kindly.

The little girl is too inexperienced, these monks are old and mature, how can they not know the danger of the starry sky? But if they stay in Middle-earth, there is no hope of advancing in their lifetime, who knows that there will be a chance to rebuild in the next life? Of course, everyone wants to fight. And in the past, the scattered immortals left all by themselves, completely unaware of the state of the starry sky, this trip not only has a detailed star map, but also the power of the upper realm to lead the way, promising to take them to a relatively prosperous star field nearby, this star field is also the private territory of a certain upper realm emperor. Even if there will be no high-level exercises in that star field that are widely spread, the common sense of cultivation will definitely be richer than in Zhongzhou, and the Taishang Sect of Zhongzhou is already at the top, and it will not be able to go up again.

It is Fengqi Mu Fengsheng who heard that Mu Linyuan was going to the starry sky, and he refused to terminate the contract with a dead face, he must follow Mu Linyuan, he used to be a subordinate of Hating Tian, and he was very familiar with Hating Tian's set, Mu Linyuan has the qualifications to hate the sky, and he is not as crazy as him, he is a good follower, of course he must follow before Mu Linyuan rises, and it is always better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake.

The sect also attached great importance to this trip to the starry sky, and Cang Hong selflessly took out the spirit essence veins sent by Changning, and each person shared hundreds of spirit essences. Zhongzhou may not have a high level of knowledge, but he can do a good job in harmony between man and nature, even if there is no spiritual vein in each monk's cave mansion, it is also full of spiritual plants and shell farms, and the spiritual energy in the cave is not necessarily pure but abundant enough.

The spiritual essence is the best cultivation material for cultivators below the Golden Immortal, and the spiritual energy in it is so pure that there are almost no impurities. However, the number of spirit spirits is far less than that of spirit stones, and even in the upper realm, only a few people use them for cultivation, and most of the monks still use spirit stones for cultivation. This common sense everyone still knows, everyone admires Cang Hong's mind at the same time, but also took the initiative to give up a part of the spirit spirit, they go out this time life and death unknown, there is no need to take too many precious resources, the starry sky always has more opportunities than Middle-earth, if they are lucky enough, they can always get resources.

Killing Tian came three hours before the appointed time, and as soon as he appeared, he saw a red-eyed rabbit, and he couldn't help but be happy, "Why did you cry like a rabbit?" Changning was secretly crying behind everyone's back, but he didn't want to be caught by Killing Heaven, he couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, turned his head and ignored Killing Heaven, Killing Heaven smiled and touched her hair, "Cry now into red eyes, then after hundreds of thousands of years of separation, aren't you going to cry blind?" ”

"That's how I cried once." Changning defended himself indignantly, senior brother is leaving, isn't she allowed to cry once? She tugged at the sleeve of Killing Heaven and said, "Uncle Killing Master, which emperor's private territory is that star field you are talking about?" ”

Lu Tian smiled: "You also know that person, and he has also been in contact with his son, who is Emperor Guangcheng." He pinched the little girl's nose, "Do you regret not pleasing Xie Rufeng?" ”

Changning raised his little head and said proudly, "He only has his father as an emperor, and my master and uncle are emperors!" Isn't he supposed to please me? "Pleasing the elders is the third natural skill of the little girl, and she will always know how to make her happy.

Sure enough, Lu Tian was amused by her, raised his hand and rubbed her head vigorously, rubbing her long hair into the bird's nest before he was satisfied, he looked at the little girl and looked at himself aggrievedly, and he stuffed a white bone palace for her with a sullen smile.

"What is this?" Changning looked at the Dao Palace with a big palm curiously, "Is it the Dao Palace of the master?" ”

"It's the body of the White Bone True Monarch, and his machine spirit was killed by me." Lu Tian wrote lightly: "Originally, I wanted to kill Dabei, but I was taken first by a little guy from the Yu clan. Changning looked at Killing Heaven in shock, and Killing Heaven raised his eyebrows, "What?" You don't want to kill them? "White bones and great compassion are always troubled in the future, and Killing Heaven is not happy to bother with the two ants, so he simply kills it. Killing the sky can break through the prestige of one of the ten ancient murder weapons, naturally it is not a soft-hearted nature, you must know that the other murder weapons are innate chaos treasures, he is the only magic weapon born after the opening of the sky, and it is not the place where the world was opened at the end of the primeval period.

"No!" Changning still remembered that the White Bone True Monarch was the culprit who killed the senior brother of the sect, she had no strength if she didn't kill him, she pulled the sleeve of the killing sky: "Uncle Kill, you are so good to me!" ”

Lu Tian pinched her little face again with satisfaction, "You still have a conscience, don't you have a White Bone Dao Palace?" You can let it devour this, although it can't be promoted to the rank of Yang God right away, but it's enough to save 10,000 years. He threw another ball of light to Chang Ning, "This is Xiao Zhan's memory, there are some interesting things in it, you can show it to the elders of your sect." ”

Changning hurriedly put away the two things, and said that the sect was going to go to a few more people, just as Changning expected, Killing Tian didn't care, it didn't make a difference to him to bring Mu Linyuan one or a dozen.

Changning secretly cried once, and when she saw her senior brother, she had a bright smile on her face, she wanted to leave her most beautiful side to her senior brother, she didn't want her senior brother to worry. Mu Linyuan smoothed her hair and whispered, "Wait for me to come back." Then he left without looking back, not daring to look back, for fear that he would regret it.

Changning sent a message to his senior brother: "Senior brother, I will definitely wait for you to come back!" ”

The monks are accustomed to separation, and the atmosphere at the scene is not very sad, everyone sent their blessings, watching the killing of the sky wave of their hands, put everyone into their sleeves, and then turned around and disappeared, everyone's eyes were full of yearning, when will they be able to cultivate to this kind of Cheng dù!

Chu Jiufeng and Shao Haole came a few days earlier, and the two demons saw that Fenghuang was lying in the master's arms with his little head hanging down, and their eyes met, and they decided to let Fenghuang Hui take her for another day. Changning is not a procrastinating character, after handing the light ball given by the killing sky to the uncle, she left with Chu Jiufeng and them, although she doesn't like to stay in the Yu clan very much, and deliberately shortens the time, but she is kind after all, and wants to help the Yu clan as much as possible before she leaves, which is also the responsibility of Phoenix.
