1826 Ye Xiaos Anger (1/2)
When the world was new, there were a few extremely powerful figures!
One of them was a phoenix. The first phoenix in history was the ancestor of all the other phoenixes that were born afterward. The phoenix was created by the sky and earth. The Netherworld Phoenix was the primal descendant of the great phoenix ancestor. The great phoenix ancestor flew away and never came back, so the Netherworld Phoenix became the supremacy of the phoenix clan. Because of the hard work of the Netherworld Phoenix, the phoenix clan grew bigger and bigger, stronger and stronger. Even the leaders of the phoenix clan didn't know there was a great phoenix ancestor. However, the Golden Phoenix King knew it.
Information of the great phoenix ancestor was a mystery. According to the records that were accessible, even the most powerful cultivators in the Human Realm Upon Heavens hadn't reach the level of the great phoenix ancestor. For the great phoenix ancestor, people in the current world were as weak as ants!
How powerful was the great phoenix ancestor? The Land of Han-Yang couldn't hold the cultivators who were beyond the Sky Origin Stage. The Qing-Yun Realm couldn't hold the people beyond the Dao Origin Stage. The Human Realm Upon Heavens couldn't hold the great phoenix ancestor. The powerful great phoenix ancestor tore the space apart and left this world at the end of the story.
There were different versions about the ending of the story though. Some said the great phoenix ancestor met some mighty figure, who might be another great figure of the phoenix clan. Anyway, the great phoenix ancestor was guided to a higher level, so the great phoenix ancestor left the world for the Dao of greatness.
It was a story after all. People must have told different versions. The phoenix clan definitely said it was a great figure of the phoenix clan who pointed the direction for the great phoenix ancestor. The Monster Clan claimed it was a great monster ancestor. The dragon clan said it was a dragon…
In fact, people even heard that the great phoenix ancestor was kept by a human as his pet…
Nobody knew what to believe because there was no evidence anyway!
It was true that there used to be a great phoenix ancestor who was incredibly powerful. It was a glorious history of the phoenix clan.
The time of the great phoenix ancestor was long gone. Generation after generation, less and less information was left to the world. The kings of the phoenix clan still passed the information on one to another. The others knew little. The world started to forget there used to be such a powerful character in the world…
As the king of the phoenix clan, the Golden Phoenix King knew things.
There was no way to prove whether it was true or not, but it was a story that came from all the former kings after all.
When the great phoenix ancestor was born, he was born in the complete form of a phoenix, which meant he had nine feathers on the crown!
The phoenix crown with nine feathers had a special name, the Returning Saint Crown!
Nine indicated the utmost!
It was just a tale. A legend that nobody dared to even imagine having. No phoenixes after the great phoenix ancestor ever had the Returning Saint Crown! The Netherworld Phoenix only had seven feathers on the crown, and the others never had more than five feathers on the crown.
A phoenix with five feathers on the crown was already one of the most powerful figures in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!
The Returning Saint Crown was a tale of the phoenix clan, but also a scar that still hurt!
There was no Returning Saint Crown anymore, so the phoenix clan was not going to be great anymore!
In fact, the phoenixes couldn't even have seven feathers anymore, not to mention nine!
Even the Golden Phoenix King had only four feathers, even though the Golden Phoenix King had the power of fire and was born nobler than the other phoenixes.
Getting one more feather on the crown after having three was unimaginably difficult!
The Golden Phoenix King had never thought that the baby phoenix could have nine feathers!
She never even dreamed of such a great thing.
When she heard Ye Xiao said nine, she was shocked. She felt like her head was stricken by a bolt of lightning. She was lost!
Ye Xiao was still talking. ”Well, the kid only has two more. That's not so unreasonable. Look. The middle one of the nine feathers is the longest. Four more on the right, which are shorter, while four more on the left, which are shorter too… Anyway, that is it. Is it a bad sign? It looks pretty though…” The Golden Phoenix King didn't hear a word of this because she passed out!
If a normal person was so shocked that he passed out, he must have heard something extremely shocking.
To shock the Golden Phoenix King? Even the Golden Phoenix King passed out because the message was far beyond extremely shocking!
That was unbelievable.
…
After a while, the Golden Phoenix King woke up. She shook her head and tried to make sure she wasn't dreaming…
'Did I hear that my daughter has a Returning Saint Crown?'
The Golden Phoenix King was shocked again. She stood up and said, ”The Returning Saint Crown… Nine feathers on the crown… The Returning Saint Crown… Nine feathers…”
Her lips started shaking, and she suddenly spoke in a loud voice like shouting, ”Ye Xiao, are you still there!?”
The entire palace was shaking because she talked too loud. If the palace wasn't built with the extremely rare special wood, it would have fallen down immediately!
There was no response to her.
The Golden Phoenix King was shaking. ”Ye Xiao… Ye Xiao! Talk to me… Say something…”
She knew that time was up. She just couldn't give up the chance to talk to Ye Xiao more. She wanted to know more about her baby!
She shouted again, but still got no response.
- Boom! -
She suddenly rushed out through a wall. She actually broke the wall to get out.
”How long have I been in the room?” The Golden Phoenix King grabbed the collar of a maid and asked her.
As she remembered, it had been about half an hour when she got the call from Ye Xiao after she entered the room…
”Your highness…” The maid knelt and said, ”You have stayed in the room for the entire afternoon… It is at night now…”
”One afternoon…” The Golden Phoenix King let the maid go, but she was lost again.
As she looked around, the palace was shining wonderfully, but she felt lost… She regretted it…
'I am a king… Why am I still so useless? How could I just pass out when something so important was happening? What did Ye Xiao say? I didn't hear him…'
She knew it clearly.
Ye Xiao didn't know what was going on. Ye Xiao would never cut off the connection. The connection must have stayed to the end until time was up…
Ye Xiao had no idea how important it was, so the Golden Phoenix King was anxious!
What if Ye Xiao thought the baby phoenix was mediocre, so he made the wrong decisions? She couldn't imagine…
That would be awful!
Ye Xiao was obviously the blood-bond master of the baby phoenix!
A baby beast was fragile. If the baby phoenix felt neglected by the blood-bond master, she would lose confidence, and the lack of confidence would follow her for the rest of her life. That was terrible for the future of the kid's life!
'Is my daughter going to have a life that is worse than she deserves because of my mistake?'
'Holy heavens!'
'I have only given Ye Xiao one of that jade pendant!'
The Golden Phoenix King was anxious.
'Damn it! I wanted to send him more of the jade pendants! I just never had time to do it! Nothing is important than my daughter! My daughter is going to be as great as the great phoenix ancestor!'
”Somebody come now!” The Golden Phoenix King shouted.
”Your highness!”
”Send out our men to get as many communication jade pendants as possible! I want them all!” The Golden Phoenix King shouted. ”Get me more! I want every single piece of them!”
”Yes!”
”I am going to see the Glaze Sky King now! Tell the twelve guards to get ready!”
”Yes!”
The order of the Golden Phoenix King couldn't be violated!
Everybody in the phoenix clan strictly followed her order.
The Golden Phoenix King had left for the Glaze Sky Palace fast.
”Golden Phoenix come to see the King!”
Her voice resounded in the sky of the Glaze Sky Palace.
…
On the other side of the Glaze Sky, the Purple Dragon King was in his Purple Dragon Palace!
With a big explosion, the sky over the palace shined in golden lights. A long golden dragon appeared in the sky and headed to the Glaze Sky Palace.
”The purple dragon asks to see the King!”
Purple Dragon King's voice sounded anxious.
…
Everybody around the Glaze Sky Palace was shocked by the explosion's sound.
People were looking at the Glaze Sky Palace.
'What is happening? The dragon and the phoenix came to see the King one year ago…'
'What is happening now?'
'Don't they come too often?'
…
The Purple Dragon King was anxious.
The Purple Dragon King waited for Ye Xiao's message for as long as the Golden Phoenix King did. One thing was different. The Golden Phoenix King was anxious by herself, but the Purple Dragon King was worried about the Purple Dragon Queen!
