Chapter 1821: Sacrifice for Wealth; Kill for Power!
Meng Wuzhen's anger pierced through the clouds, riding over the tide.
"Send a message to the Dark Hall! Get ready! I want everybody out for the next battle! I want the Monarch's Hall crushed! I want Ye Xiao ripped into pieces!"
That was exactly what Ye Xiao expected.
The great forces always hid their true power under the table. People could only see a small part of their true power. They all had a hidden force that they wouldn't use unless they had to!
The Dark Hall was the hidden force of the Hall of Returning Nature, the real power of Meng Wuzhen!
In fact, there were only nine people in the Dark Hall!
These nine people were cultivators who could shake the entire martial world!
The Flower King was nothing compared to any of the nine people if he hadn't improved a lot with Ye Xiao's help. Chihuo used to be only one step away from the Undead Stage, but even so, he still couldn't defeat any of these nine people!
These were horrible monsters!
…
Ten days were gone.
Ling Wuxie came to the Monarch's Hall and took his dan beads. After that, he left the city immediately.
The seven great ancestors of the Seven Lotus Clans were missing. They went out together, but nobody knew their whereabouts!
In the ten days, people of the Monarch's Hall had mostly recovered. They were at least seventy percent as powerful as they used to be.
After the big fight, these survivors had improved their mind power a great deal. They had recovered after the ten days, and they had improved quite a lot in cultivation. They didn't stop improving yet. In another word, only less than ten percent of the people of the Monarch's Hall survived, but these ten percent became even more powerful! The Monarch's Hall was actually stronger than before!
The Hall of Returning Nature was full of fury. The Monarch's Hall was too!
Neither of them could forgive the other! There was so much hate!
Perhaps, one thing, a little bit of stimulation could lead to a big war!
One day.
The headquarters of the Hall of Returning Nature was in a fuss. A message spread to the world!
The Jade Phoenix, one of the head managers, was assassinated near the headquarters of the Hall of Returning Nature. She was saved by her own people and nearly died on the way back to the Hall of Returning Nature.
Information from the witnesses indicated that the assassin was wearing all black clothes. The assassin was tall and slim, holding a sword which gave people a feeling of farewell.
The evidence pointed at the Great Executor of the Monarch's Sword, Bu Xiangfeng!
Further evidence indicated that the Jade Phoenix said something before she was attacked. She was in shock. "Bu Xiangfeng! Your… Your power…"
The assassin put her down with one strike, and then immediately flew away.
The assassin did not say even a word!
He flew away like a bird, riding the wind. Nobody saw him after that. After one sword attack, he just left, without checking if he had successfully killed the target of not!
What an assassin!
One hit, and he left.
If it missed, he was gone anyway!
After that, Young Lord Meng of the Hall of Returning Nature kicked over a table because of the anger!
His anger frightened everybody around him!
"Ye Xiao! You are not the only one who is good at assassination! We can do it too!"
Meng Wuzhen was furious.
…
"We didn't do it. The assassin isn't Bu Xiangfeng!" Xuan Bing said.
Xuan Bing was holding the meeting in the Monarch's Hall. She was sitting on the high chair on the south side.
Yue Shuang and Yue Han were beside her, one on the left, the other on the right. Since Xuan Bing became the new commander of the Monarch's Hall, the three ladies had been staying together.
The others were Chihuo, the Flower King, Bu Xiangfeng, Meng Youjiang, Qiu Luo, and Qu Wuliang.
Ye Xiao was present. There were only ten people in the meeting, but these ten were the most important people in the Monarch's Hall!
Ye Xiao was sitting on the north side, opposite to Xuan Bing. He was sitting on a huge chair, which was made from purple crystal. There was even an energy-gathering power formation under the chair, so there was a purple mist rising up, which made it dark around Ye Xiao. It made him look like a king looking down upon his people.
Xuan Bing specially arranged a platform on the north side of the meeting room. It was thirty feet higher than the south side. On the edge of the south side, the floor slightly rose up.
Ye Xiao owned a big area on the north side.
People who were having the meeting had to sit lower. When they looked at Ye Xiao, they had to look up. However, they couldn't see clearly, because Ye Xiao was in a cloud of mist.
That was his prestige!
"A great man makes strict rules. A great man must be upon all the others!"
They all agreed…
After the war against the Hall of Returning Nature, Ye Xiao had become an absolute legend in the Monarch's Hall!
Nobody could easily get close to a legend!
People worshiped gods, but nobody ever saw a god!
Mystery was the most powerful curtain!
"Master has shown his incredible power. I have to be cautious from now on. I should be careful." The Flower King said.
Everybody else agreed with him.
They only started to use this meeting room. It was new. Ye Xiao sat on his chair, entangled by the purple qi. He didn't say a word, just sat there. In the end, he made the decision.
Xuan Bing ran the meeting. People wanted her to do it.
She wasn't perfect, but she had done a good job being the leader of a big sect in the old days. Even Chihuo couldn't do better, nor Meng Youjiang who used to own an entire mountain.
Most of the others were independent in the past.
"It must be somebody else who killed the Jade Phoenix. Whoever did that must want us to have a fight with the Hall of Returning Nature again. Somebody wanted to sit there and watch us die."
Xuan Bing sat on the chair of the host. She looked cold as usual. Her sharp eyes were like a blow of cold wind from the ice mountain.
Even Chihuo, the Flower King, Meng Youjiang, and Bu Xiangfeng felt a chill in their souls when they had an eye contact with Xuan Bing.
They just shivered!
"There are a lot of people in the world who can stick a hand into the business between the Hall of Returning Nature and us. In fact, if we have a fight again, everybody else gets the benefit."
Xuan Bing's mind was clear. "The Brotherhood Alliance, the House of Chaotic Storms, the Xuan Bing, the new Great Ye Army… It could be any of them. In fact, there are forces that are far away from us that can get benefit from our war… The royal forces of the five Sky Kings. They would love to build a stable force of their own."
Xuan Bing said, "However, with or without the assassination, we won't be friends with the Hall of Returning Nature! We will start the war again. It is only a matter of time.
"We don't have as many people as we did. We won the war, but it was difficult. We can't even keep the Monarch's Hall running normally. The Hall of Returning Nature lost the battle, but they were still a powerful organization. It didn't hurt their foundation. They couldn't come and attack us in a short time though. Anyway, it takes time to start a second war.
"The assassination was planned to provoke Meng Wuzhen. Somebody wanted Meng Wuzhen to start the war earlier!
"The target was the Jade Phoenix, one of the Three Phoenixes of the Hall of Returning Nature. The lady was nice and thoughtful. She is always careful. Nobody, even in the five Sky King's royal forces, could compare her! Meng Wuzhen liked her the most! She was the best assistant he had! She belongs to Meng Wuzhen!
"Killing the Jade Phoenix would be stabbing a knife into Meng Wuzhen's heart.
"Attacking the Jade Phoenix was to hurt Meng Wuzhen in his soft part. Meng Wuzhen would definitely hate us even more, and it would also weaken him a great deal.
"The assassination was such a dirty move. Whoever did this, he didn't even try to hide it from us… No matter what it is, we and the Hall of Returning Nature are already enemies. No matter what the truth is, we won't be able to explain. That was an obvious move!
"He knew Meng Wuzhen's weakness. He did it at the perfect timing. He left no trace for the Hall of Returning Nature! We won't go to explain ourselves, and nobody would believe us anyway.
"The world would believe that Bu Xiangfeng did the assassination!
"The Jade Phoenix was hurt. Meng Wuzhen must have lost control. It broke his plan, also his clear mind. Whoever did that, he did it well… In the Limitless Ocean, there are only two people who could do that."
"Who are they?" Chihuo asked.
Xuan Bing took a deep breath and said, "Shangguan Lingxiao is one. He built the strong foundation of the Brotherhood Alliance almost on his own!"
Xuan Bing said the name, the others nodded.
Shangguan Lingxiao was powerful, experienced, and smart. He definitely could do that!
Nobody would doubt that.
"Bai Chen was the other one. He is always casual and wise as if nothing could disturb him. When he wants to do something, he always does it perfectly!"
Xuan Bing looked afraid.
Xuan Bing knew Master Bai. He was a legend!
In the Qing-Yun Realm, Master Bai and his House of Chaotic Storms shook the world even after he left. Nobody dared to talk about him. Hearing the name of the House of Chaotic Storms gave people a chill in the heart.
Xuan Bing heard a lot about Master Bai from Ye Xiao. She knew how he manipulated the Land of Han-Yang, controlling the rise and fall of the world. A history of a world seemed to be just smoke in the air for him.
In the Human Realm Upon Heavens.
How long since Master Bai came back to this world?
He built everything from nothing. Within a short time, the House of Chaotic Storms became one of the most powerful forces in the Limitless Ocean. He could turn over the world with the power in his hands.
The most horrible thing about this man was that he always got things to develop in the way he wanted.
The assassination on the Jade Phoenix was an example.
The assassin must be Bu Xiangfeng, and the world believed it was Bu Xiangfeng. Denying it wouldn't change anything!
Nobody could change it! It became a fact!
"In fact, Ye Changqing's rise and fall was a plan of Shangguan Lingxiao and Master Bai. They didn't work together, but they happened to want the same result. The return of the Heaven's Leaf became difficult because of these two men! The name of the Great Master Ye became less powerful because of it!
"Even though the people of the Heaven's Leaf kept coming to support Ye Yunduan, the power of the Great Ye Clan couldn't rise in a short time."
Xuan Bing said a lot, and the others just nodded.
That was right. The Seven Golden Lotuses used to look forward to the return of the Heaven's Leaf.
When they tested Ye Xiao and found the blood of the Heaven's Leaf, they were so happy. They were so confident all of a sudden! They couldn't hold down the excitement in their heart!
However, because of the fake Master Yunduan, the Seven Lotus Clan lost their faith in the Great Ye Clan. Master Bai and Shangguan Lingxiao wanted that. The Seven Lotus Clans wanted to follow the true powerful descendant of the Great Ye Clan, but what if the Heaven's Leaf wasn't as good as they expected?
The two wise men had destroyed the Heaven's Leaf!
Ye Xiao was listening to Xuan Bing, and he kept nodding.
He didn't give Xuan Bing any advice for the meeting. Xuan Bing did her own work to prepare for the meeting…
The conclusion she had was exactly what Ye Xiao had in mind.
"I am sure the assassination was the brilliant work of one of these two men. Shangguan Lingxiao is a sharp-minded person, but he is more passive. He wouldn't do anything extreme if he didn't have to. After all, it was the West Sky King behind the Hall of Returning Nature. Shangguan Lingxiao might not want to get involved so soon. He wouldn't want to mess with a Sky King and us at the same time. That aside, he wouldn't want to get the Brotherhood Alliance into this war.
"Therefore, I think Master Bai, Bai Chen of the House of Chaotic Storms was more suspicious!
"If we think deeper, he must have made the plan after we showed the world our power, which could compare the Hall of Returning Nature. What was it that he wanted? The House of Chaotic Storms and the Hall of Returning Nature are enemies. However, neither of them is our friend!"
Xuan Bing said, "We are not dealing with the Hall of Returning Nature now! In fact, we are facing the House of Chaotic Storms, which is even more dangerous!
"They wouldn't take a move if they didn't have to, but if they did, they did it sharp!"
Xuan Bing said, "We have to be careful. We need a plan. We can't fear the enemies. We fight, and we kill. However, we must be cautious when the enemy is scheming."
Chihuo said, "What should we do? We have to fight the House of Chaotic Storms, which is even more dangerous than the Hall of Returning Nature."
Xuan Bing took a deep breath and said, "That is why we are having a headache. We must fight one, but we have to keep an eye on the other at the same time.
"When the Hall of Returning Nature comes with anger, we must fight in full power, because we aren't powerful enough. If the House of Chaotic Storms comes at the same time…"
Xuan Bing frowned.
They knew everything now, but they couldn't come up with any ideas on how to deal with it.
They were powerless. Even if they had a plan, they didn't have enough people to do it!
They slowly looked at Ye Xiao one by one.
The One Meter Higher Sky, the Xiao Monarch, the hero, was the only person who could make the impossible possible!
He was totally covered by the purple qi. His voice suddenly sounded. "We have to fight. However, we must know how to fight. The Hall of Returning Nature wants to crush us once and for all. We are not going to give them the chance. Why would we?
"We didn't have to fight the war as they wanted it to be. We still don't. We should downscale the battle!" Ye Xiao blandly said, "If the battle is small, we don't need as many people as they are. Even if they have one million men, so what? Can they break the shield of the fortress of trees?"
The others were all shocked. They said, "Brilliant!"
Suddenly, they felt relieved and started laughing.
Ye Xiao had a plan that nobody else could do, not even the five Sky Kings!
Only the Monarch's Hall could do it.
The Monarch's Hall had the Hall of Life and Death!
The fortress of trees was built unbreakable. As long as the Monarch's Hall didn't get out for the battle, everybody could just stay inside and continued the cultivation!
No matter how many enemies were outside, nobody could break the shield of the unbreakable fortress!
The Purple Dragon King and the Golden Phoenix King hadn't succeeded anyway!
If the Monarch's Hall felt good about having a small fight, they could go out and start it. If they didn't want to, nobody could force them out!
The enemies were free to attack the Hall of Life and Death.
The Great Formation of Stars had become stronger and stronger. The automatic counterattack of the shield would definitely damage the enemy!
People might think that the Monarch's Hall people were cowards, but the Monarch's Hall would survive. The House of Chaotic Storms and the Hall of Returning Nature had great power to support them behind. The Monarch's Hall didn't. They had to use the fortress and made it an advantage of them!
They didn't have many people anymore, and that meant the fortress could hold them all. It could only hold less than five thousand people!
The Monarch's Hall didn't have many people! It was big enough!
The Monarch's Hall only had a little more than four thousand people!
"The war is coming soon. We have the fortress of trees, but we still have to be cautious." Ye Xiao blandly said, "Tell everybody to keep improving!
"I believe the great loss we suffered earlier is an alert. If we have to face the battle after all, we accept our fates!"
Ye Xiao blandly said, "Only a small part of the Hall of Returning Nature's real power almost destroyed us. What if the five Sky Kings come to us? We must keep improving as fast as we can. We have to be powerful ourselves!"
After that, Ye Xiao stood up and left.
Xuan Bing stayed quiet for a while and said, "Let's call it a day."
Everything was settled. There was nothing more to say.
Xuan Bing and the other two ladies followed Ye Xiao out.
The six people who stayed behind were blank. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say!
Bu Xiangfeng was sweating. Meng Youjiang's face turned pretty red like he was drunk all of a sudden. Qiu Luo looked calm, but he was grabbing the handle of his weapon. Li Wuliang was gasping. The Flower King was excited. Chihuo looked ambitious!
Ye Xiao had alerted them all with just a word.
He talked like it was nothing.
However, it was shockingly powerful.
"What if the five Sky Kings come to us?"
It terrified these people!
After a while, the Flower King calmed down and blandly smiled. "Chihuo, everybody, I think you all understand what he said, don't you?"
Chihuo didn't say a word, but nodded.
"Our view is shallow. A little bit of the Lord Monarch's great plan has shocked us to hell!" The Flower King smiled. His face was getting redder because he was excited. "We will fight the five Sky Kings!
"In fact, Lord Monarch has never cared about the Limitless Ocean! The battles in the Limitless Ocean, against the Hall of Returning Nature, the House of Chaotic Storms, the Brotherhood Alliance, are just practice! That is all!"
"This is not what we are eventually after!" The Flower King smiled.
"Brothers, we were itinerant cultivators. We wanted somewhere to stay, but nobody wanted to have us. Who doesn't want to be remembered by history? Who doesn't want to create his own greatness? Who doesn't want to be admired? Who doesn't want to manipulate the world?
"We didn't have the possibility! We didn't even have anything to die for. Today, Lord Monarch gave us a goal. To get the goal, it will be more difficult to climb to the heavens!
"It is difficult… but, Lord Monarch gives us hope!
"If the five Sky Kings can reach the top of the world, why can't we? People of the Monarch's Hall are monarchs. We can get the world from their hands!
"We survive, and we reach the top together!"
The Flower King said, "Do you understand?"
"We do."
The others felt their blood boiling.
Bu Xiangfeng took a long breath and said, "Now I know why he named the organization the Monarch's Hall. It wasn't just about his title.
"He wants us to be monarchs. He wants every one of us to become kings!
"I see!"
Bu Xiangfeng was trying to hold down the excitement. "I know why he want the Five Kings to be reserved!
"He hasn't chosen the five men yet! This is why!"
Everybody was excited.
It had been a long time since Ye Xiao told them about the Five Kings. They felt like hearing him speak again.
"The better one gets the higher position! The weaker one loses the higher position! If you are good, you should join the competition! Even if you are just a cook, you can reach the top of the Monarch's Hall! If you are powerful enough, you can be the leader of the unit, one of the Seven Stars, the head of a department, and even one of the Five Kings!"
Everybody's eyes lit up.
They finally understood what the Five Kings meant.
Five Kings…
Whoever defeated the five Sky Kings would take their positions! That was clear!
That was obvious!
People of the Monarch's Hall were all monarchs! Why?
How big the Human Realm Upon Heavens was?
Nobody knew! It was too big!
People in the Monarch's Hall were powerful cultivators! When the Monarch's Hall reached the top of the world, how powerful were these people in the outside world?
They would all become rulers of different areas of the world!
They were monarchs!
"Sacrifice for Wealth; Kill for Power!"
The Flower King smiled and said.
Everybody's eyes turned red!
If it was in other organizations, even in the Hall of Returning Nature, or the House of Chaotic Storms, if the leader said something like Ye Xiao had just said, the people might not feel so confident. What Ye Xiao had said was that they were going to be fighting against everybody else in the Human Realm Upon Heavens.
The Monarch's Hall was special!
The Monarch's Hall had the Hall of Life and Death.
Saving a life from death was not a big deal. The unbreakable shield wasn't attacking. The cultivating environment inside the Hall of Life and Death was incredible! It made supreme cultivators!
Cultivating one year inside the Hall of Life and Death meant cultivating outside for a few years!
The improvement would get faster and faster!
When the Hall of Returning Nature came to attack, they wouldn't have to go out and fight. They could try to have some fights and stayed most of the time cultivating inside the Hall of Returning Nature. When they were powerful enough to defeat the enemies, they would be out and finished them! They improved fast!
Within a short time, there would be thousands of Undead Stage cultivators in the Monarch's Hall. These men were at least at Saint Origin Stage now. They were going to become Immortality Stage cultivators soon. Many of them would reach an incredible level!
They just needed time, and it was possible to defeat the five Sky Kings someday!
Nobody dared to even have such an idea, yet these men believed they could do it. They were thrilled!
"Guys, if we want to be monarchs…" The Flower King smiled. "What we have now, this is not enough. You know I am right.
"Some youngsters may replace our positions soon…"
He smiled and said, "I don't know what you think. I don't want to be replaced. I am going to cultivate now."
After that, he left fast.
"Cultivating! Cultivating!"
The other five people were enlightened, so they all left quickly.
At this moment, they realized time was running!
They could be caught up by the young people if they wasted time on meaningless talks…
In the Hall of Life and Death, every second was valuable! Wasting time in this place was shameful!
…
Ye Xiao watched the six men leaving for cultivation, and he smiled.
The message would spread in the Monarch's Hall soon, and everybody would be thrilled, so they would cultivate even harder…
Ye Xiao nodded and entered the Boundless Space.
Erhuo put its tail on the dragon egg and phoenix egg as usual. It didn't dare to move. It had to use the essential qi of the world to stop the little creatures from getting out.
It was such a difficult job.
If the little things hatched and Ye Xiao wasn't there for them, things wouldn't be good.
The Blood-bond had to be made when they first saw the world. Otherwise, the Blood-bond wouldn't be perfect!
Things kept happening one by one. Ye Xiao broke through the barrier and got to a new level, the fourth level of the East-rising Purple Qi, and then he was lost in the trial for three months. As he came back, he went to the battlefield as soon as he could. After the victory, he had to give treatments to everybody who was hurt. In the end, he had to deal with Ling Wuxie. He just didn't have time for Erhuo!
"Meow…" Erhuo shouted.
'Why is he still not here?'
'I am not going to make it any longer…'
'I am holding the two powerful lives from hatching… Come on, come back!'
'If the two little things saw me when they first open their eyes… Well, I really don't want it. Who do you think I am? They aren't qualified for making a Blood-bond with me. They just can't!'
Erhuo should be good enough to suppress the two things, but… Erhuo was exhausted! People kept getting hurt in the fights, so they needed a massive amount of dan beads… Erhuo had been working really hard to keep making dan beads. Ye Xiao gave the wounded men diagnosis, and Erhuo had to make the dan beads for them. Besides, Erhuo had spent a lot of time making those Agerasia Dan beads. It hadn't made such fine dan beads for a long time, but it had to do it this time!
When Erhuo was complaining about it…
Ye Xiao came!
"Meow!" Erhuo meowed.
'My stupid master… Finally, you are here.'
'Oh, my heavens…'
When Ye Xiao entered the Boundless Space, Erhuo felt relieved and flew out like a snow-white piece of cloth. In fact, it was pushed away by a strong power.
At the same time, the energy of life kept rising up from the two eggs.
Beyond the two eggs, there were some colorful clouds! It seemed the colorful clouds were waiting for something to come out!
The next moment, some indescribable scent was filling the entire Boundless Space.

Chapter 1822: The Phoenix was Born
"Chirp?"
The Cane of Void was staying quietly in the Wood Space. Suddenly, it screamed and flew out, landed on Ye Xiao's shoulder. It stared at the two eggs with curiosity. Its big round eyes had instilled caution.
The Golden Hawk came out too. It had been staying alone to cultivate because it thought it was weaker than Ye Xiao and Bab. Now, the hawk flew out and landed behind Ye Xiao.
The forty Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes had come out and stayed low on the floor too. They were worshiping the two eggs which were releasing glaring lights and beautiful scent.
There was a certain class system in the beast's world.
Erhuo was pushed away by the power, but then it just stood up and watched the egg from an upper angle. It looked lazy as if the eggs didn't mean anything to it at all.
Bab looked cautious. It was looking at the eggs. Maybe these two little things would be huge threats to it soon.
Hawky looked solemn. It wasn't afraid. It was looking forward to it.
The snakes were getting low on the floor!
The snakes could keep upgrading, and they had upgraded many times, but they were still snakes. As they saw the dragon and the phoenix, they had to get down!
That was it. A clear system of classes.
Ye Xiao moved a chair over and sat on it.
He was looking forward to the dragon baby and the phoenix baby too, but he hadn't decided to accept them yet. They could be a great support, but could also be a burden to him. With these two creatures, he could never break the connection to the dragon clan and the phoenix clan. These two clans were from the Glaze Sky!
Erhuo had done hard works to make sure there was a Blood-bond between Ye Xiao and the two things. It did this for Ye Xiao, so Ye Xiao stayed!
Bab sat on his shoulder, with its head leaning on his neck. The Golden Hawk was standing proudly on Ye Xiao's side, and its beak kept touching Ye Xiao on the leg.
Erhuo lay on Ye Xiao's arms, with its tail covering the face. 'I want to sleep… I am exhausted…'
…
Ye Xiao's eyes were like the eyes of a hawk. He stared at the eggs, and the eggs started to shake. The shell was getting more and more transparent.
It looked like the shell was getting thinner.
Ye Xiao was surprised.
Was the shell getting thinner?
He observed them, and it was real.
After a while, the chirp of a dragon and a phoenix sounded in the Boundless Space. It was full of the prestige of kings.
The power made it depressing inside the Boundless Space.
The snakes had been lying on the floor. They didn't even dare to shiver this time. They nearly stopped breathing too.
Hawky raised up its head standing straight up.
It tried to look indifferent, but Ye Xiao knew that it was looking forward to it. Hawky was born alongside with the thunders. It wasn't normal hawks. Ye Xiao used to feed it a lot of spiritual beads and spiritual energy. Hawky was beyond most of the beasts in the world. However, the dragon and the phoenix were born to be kings.
Erhuo was sleeping. Bab wasn't moving. They both were indifferent about it. Bab was at such a high level. It was only a little weaker than the crazy cat. The others meant nothing to Bab, even Hawky. Dragon and Phoenix weren't important for it!
After a while, something happened.
"Dang, dang… Dang, dang… Dang, dang…" The sound kept resounding. It seemed whatever made the sound was hesitating… It sounded like the little things were trying something…
Ye Xiao looked at the phoenix egg.
The sound came from the phoenix egg. Apparently, the phoenix was trying to breach out. It was cracking the shell with its small beak…
After that, a similar sound came out from the dragon egg too. It seemed the dragon baby was echoing with the phoenix…
The dragon was weaker than the phoenix on breaking the eggshell. Dragons didn't have beaks after all…
"Dang, dang… Dang, dang… Dang, dang…" The phoenix was pecking faster and faster. It wasn't difficult to imagine the picture of a naked bird pecking the wall and shaking its hip…
What an interesting picture!
Finally…
"Dang…"
– Crack! –
A crack was on the top of the phoenix egg. After that, there was a small hole that released some incredible scent out!
The sound in the phoenix egg stopped.
The little thing must be thinking, 'Wait! Is this thing cracked?'
After that one second of hesitation…
"Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang…" It pecked faster. Apparently, the phoenix baby saw hope, so it worked harder.
The hole on top of the egg became bigger and bigger…
The beak, which was yellow, kept sticking out from the top of the egg. It was moving so fast that people only saw a phantom of the beak…
"Descendant of the Golden Phoenix King…" Ye Xiao was impressed. The phoenix baby could actually move so fast when it was still inside the egg. It was as good as a Divinity Origin Stage cultivator already…
Finally…
– Pah… –
On top of the phoenix egg, a piece of the shell that was as small as one purple spirit coin cracked off.
The scent became even richer in the air…
A small head cautiously came out, which had two small round eyes and light yellow feathers…
Ye Xiao moved closer.
He didn't want to make that Blood-bond. He was just being curious!
As its head was sticking out of the egg, it saw Ye Xiao's pretty face. It was shocked.
It froze. It kept staring at Ye Xiao and didn't move.
The next moment, its head was back into the egg again.
Any kind of life form would duck when facing something unknown and scary!
Ye Xiao almost laughed out.
The little thing was so adorable!
After a while, the baby phoenix stuck out its head again, trying to look at Ye Xiao. It looked less terrified this time and just chirped.
Ye Xiao couldn't speak bird's language, but it seemed he knew what the phoenix was saying… It was calling him dad!
Ye Xiao was shocked…
'Dad?'
'What the hell is this? I do want people to know that I am not a virgin anymore, but I don't have a child yet! How could I suddenly become a dad? I don't want it!'
Ye Xiao rubbed his head and stared at the little thing.
The little phoenix was excited. It kept crawling out of the egg but couldn't get its body out. After all, the hole on the shell was too small yet. It just couldn't get out. Now, it stuck at the hole and couldn't get in or out!
Little phoenix thought for a second and looked at Ye Xiao. "Chirp, chirp, chirp…"
'Dad, help me out.' That was a sweet and weak voice, which shook Ye Xiao's soul.
Ye Xiao felt like being struck by thunder.
"Well, you have to get out by yourself. It is the start of your life. You have to do it yourself." Ye Xiao rubbed his head and gently talked to the little thing. "Dad can't help you."
Then he realized something wrong. 'Holy hell! What did I just say? I was right, but did a baby phoenix understand what I said?'
The next moment, the little thing surprised Ye Xiao again. It started to look Ye Xiao in the eyes with tears. It seemed it was going to burst into tears…
It understood Ye Xiao, and it gave responses…
'Humph! Dad doesn't help me…'
The little phoenix lowered its head and finally got back into the eggshell…
After that…
Something sounded from the shell. – Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang… –
It was annoying…
On top of the phoenix egg…
The small hole was getting larger… As the small piece of shell was cracked off. The hole became bigger and bigger…
In fact, it was big enough for the phoenix to get out, but it didn't do it. It just kept pecking and pecking…
– Dang, dang, dang… –
It lasted for two hours without any rest.
Ye Xiao watched it, and he was in shock. The entire eggshell became small pieces on the floor in the end.
They were everywhere on the floor.
The phoenix finally revealed itself. However, it was still pecking something under its feet… It was a piece of eggshell…
It kept pecking the eggshell and turned it into ashes!
In the end, it looked up and stared at Ye Xiao. It moved its wings, which didn't have feathers yet. "Chirp, chirp…"
At that moment, the baby phoenix was like a king descending to the world…
It was just a baby phoenix, yet people felt like it was a king… In fact, it had no feathers yet, so it was like a red naked king… That was kind of funny…
A featherless phoenix didn't even compare to a chicken. It could be real!
"Chirp…" Bab smiled. 'That is it! There it is! I was looking forward to it, and now I am disappointed!'
Ye Xiao didn't know that this little thing had an ill temper like that. He didn't help it because he wanted the phoenix to do it on its own. It apparently didn't appreciate it, and it cracked all the shell to vent its anger…
It must be very angry…
Ye Xiao didn't really care about the two little creatures anyway. Now he was annoyed, so he didn't feel happy about it anymore!
"Come here!" Ye Xiao reached out one hand. He was a grown-up man. He shouldn't be mad at a baby bird.
The phoenix stood among some cracked pieces of eggshell, tilted its head, looked at Ye Xiao's hand angrily. After a while, it slowly walked to him and put its body on his warm hand.
That must be comfortable. It chirped and made a turn in the palm, lay down, stretching its legs. It stared at Ye Xiao and rubbed his hand with its head.
Ye Xiao felt touched, but he kept staring at the little thing angrily and said, "Why are you so testy? How could I help you break the shell? It stopped you from gaining your gift! Are you a fool? How could you be mad at me? Why so testy? Go away. I don't want you…"
He then let go of the phoenix.
He might be pretending. He wanted the Phoenix to make a choice. If it chose to be arrogant, maybe they weren't supposed to be with each other. If it came to him and showed softness, they must be connected because of destiny!
The phoenix chirped and kept moving toward Ye Xiao, fawning on him, rubbing his hand. It wanted to go back into his warm big hand. Ye Xiao stared at it but didn't pick it up.
The phoenix stood on the floor, and tears came up in its eyes.
'Does a phoenix cry? Really?'
Ye Xiao was surprised, but he decided to play tough.
He had to confirm his prestige. In fact, that was how he tamed Hawky. He didn't do exactly the same thing, but it was the same purpose!
As expected, the phoenix lowered its head and tried to apologize. It chirped in a low voice, raised up its head, stared at Ye Xiao, and begged.
"Will you misbehave anymore?" Ye Xiao stared at it.
"Chirp…" The poor thing shook its head.
"Will you be arrogant and testy to me again?"
"Chirp…" It shook its head again.
"Fine. Good. Come over here." Ye Xiao reached out his hand again.
A flash of light shined. The phoenix moved into Ye Xiao's hand immediately and rubbed the big hand with its small head. Its entire body was moving forth and back, trying to please Ye Xiao…
"You must behave yourself. I am ill-tempered. Don't make me angry. You won't want the result of it." Ye Xiao held the phoenix in both hands and spoke nicely.
"Chirp…"
Maybe the little thing was tamed, or it got used to it quickly. Suddenly, it forgot about the sadness and made a few turns in Ye Xiao's hands. It stood up and staggered out the hand. It walked to the cracked eggshell and chirped. It picked up one piece of the broken eggshell and turned around, put it into Ye Xiao's hand, raised up its head, looking at him with a smile.
'It's delicious! Eat it, dad!'
Ye Xiao looked at the eggshell.
'It has to be something good, but this is too small… Is it even enough to fill the crack between my teeth?'
"I am good. You eat it. You just hatched. You need energy. It is good for you to eat it." Ye Xiao said.
The phoenix might understand what he said. It thought for a while and then started to eat the eggshell… It was eating unbelievably fast…
– Tak, tak, tak, tak… –
The little phoenix kept eating the eggshell even though it was full.
It was weird because high-level spiritual beasts should never be full.
"It won't burst, will it?" Ye Xiao asked Erhuo.
Erhuo disdainfully rolled up its eyes and went on sleeping.
Hawky looked at the eggshell, and it wanted to eat some too. It was the eggshell of a phoenix. It was some really good stuff to provide incredible energy…
"Go get yourself something to do! Don't you dare take anything from your nephew's bowl!" Ye Xiao warned Hawky.
Ye Xiao thought that Erhuo, Hawky, Bab, and himself were like brothers. The little phoenix called him dad, so it was the next generation!
Hawky chirped. It was upset. It felt so bad that it couldn't eat some of the good things…
As the phoenix kept eating fast, Ye Xiao found that the little thing's belly actually became smaller… No. It was not the belly. The phoenix was getting bigger!

Chapter 1823: Ye Xiao's Confusion
Ye Xiao rubbed his eyes and looked at the phoenix again. It did grow bigger. The fluff got dry and feathers were growing out…
After a while, the little thing grew even bigger. As it walked, it walked steadily. Its head started to grow feathers too.
Ye Xiao was solemn.
The feathers on the phoenix head were called the Crown of Phoenix. It was the most important part of the phoenix.
As the phoenix hatched, it would eat the eggshell. When it ate the eggshell, the Crown of Phoenix grew, and that was going to be a lifetime change!
There was one thing about the Crown of Phoenix that made it so important. How many feathers on the Crown of Phoenix indicated how much potential the phoenix has.
Normally, a phoenix had three feathers on its head, the longest in the middle of the other two, making it look like a crown.
When a baby phoenix had these three feathers on the head, it was a real phoenix, and it became the superior member of the clan. Some phoenixes only had two feathers of the crown…
These phoenixes would be picked out because they wouldn't become powerful phoenixes in their lives.
Some phoenixes were talented, who had four feathers of the crown. These were the geniuses in the phoenix clan, who were strong competitors to be king.
In fact, although it was rare, there were some phoenixes who had five feathers of the crown. In hundreds of years, only one phoenix with five feathers of the crown was born to the world. This phoenix created a new era for the phoenix clan.
It was the legend of the phoenix clan!
When the little phoenix was eating its own eggshell, its Crown of Phoenix grew. It decided the future of the little creature, so Ye Xiao had a good reason to worry about it.
The little thing was bonded with him, so he cared!
He watched the baby phoenix. It was eating the eggshell fast. Almost one-third of the cracked eggshell was eaten. Only one feather showed up on its head… That seemed to be dysplastic…
"No way…" Ye Xiao was surprised.
'Is it really so weak?'
'Was it because of the damage Chihuo made on it? I have done whatever I could to save it. Did I fail to bring it back to what it should be?'
As the little thing finished half of the eggshell, the second feather grew up on its head…
Ye Xiao sighed. 'It seems this little thing will have no more than three feathers on its head… In fact, maybe there are going to be only two…'
'The second feather comes out, but it is still growing…'
He watched the phoenix eating. It was three times bigger than it just hatched. The two feathers were completed, and the third was growing up…
Ye Xiao was surprised. He realized that the feathers weren't at the position they were supposed to be…
All the three feathers were on the left…
'That doesn't make sense…'
Ye Xiao almost passed out.
'How could the Crown of Phoenix skew?'
'This is unbelievable…'
'Poor little bird…'
The eggshell was almost finished, but the three feathers were still on the left… They weren't going to move to the center.
Ye Xiao felt upset about it. The phoenix treated him as if he was its father. There was a special bonding between them. He made a decision. 'No matter how weak he is, he is my good son. I will give him all kinds of energy resources to create a miracle for him. Even if he won't become powerful in his life, I want him to have a happy life! Besides, he calls me dad!'
The next moment, Ye Xiao was shocked!
Within one second…
On the right side of the phoenix's head, there were three feathers!
These new feathers were like bamboo shooting in spring. They just shot out like phantoms!
Three on the right, three on the left, that balanced it back.
However, the feathers were too far from each other. The center of the head had nothing as if the phoenix had an ugly bald head…
"What is going on? How come there are so many feathers?" Ye Xiao was shocked.
Six feathers on the head, three of them were on the right while the others were on the left. The nearer the feather was to the middle, the longer it was…
"Six? How come?"
Ye Xiao said, "There is nothing in the middle. What is happening? This is so weird!"
He didn't get it.
Something happened again. Three more feathers suddenly grew up in the middle…
These three were obvious!
The last three feathers were much longer than any other six feathers. The middle one of the new feathers was the longest. It must be the most important one!
That was amazing!
Nine feathers were on the phoenix head, making a special Crown of Phoenix. Ye Xiao's phoenix son had an incredible crown… The nine feathers were still growing.
As Ye Xiao knew, the phoenixes were mostly with fire attribution. That was why phoenixes came back to life from fire. Most of them were in fire attribution, and the second largest number was in wind attribution, and the third was in thunder attribution. Only a few of them were in water attribution. However, there was one special kind of phoenix that was called Netherworld Phoenix in pure yin attribution. In ten thousand phoenixes of the royal family, there could be one Netherworld Phoenix. These five attributions were all they had. It was known as a fact to the world!
Ye Xiao's phoenix son had nine different colors on the Crown of Phoenix. They were the seven colors of the rainbow and the other two colors, black and white. It surprised Ye Xiao to a great deal.
The longest feather in the middle was yellow, which was bright, making it look majestic…
At the end of this very feather, there was an ellipse, which was in even brighter yellow.
The other feathers also started to have the ellipses too…
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white, and black…
The nine colors were distinguished.
Each color was pure!
Bab looked at the phoenix, and it was shocked. It suddenly fell off his shoulder.
Even Erhuo, who had been sleeping with indifference, started to stare at the phoenix.
The phoenix finished all the cracked pieces of the eggshell. It chirped happily and flew over to Ye Xiao's hand really fast. The nine bright colors made a shining rainbow in the air…
It rubbed Ye Xiao's hand with its head and grabbed Ye Xiao's clothes with its two claws. It was trying to get near to Ye Xiao's chest.
Ye Xiao held the special phoenix in his hand. He didn't know what to say.
'Is this a good thing for my phoenix son?'
'This is unbelievable…'
'Those are so many feathers, aren't they?'
The dragon egg was still shaking. Apparently, the baby dragon was trying to crack the eggshell to get out…
The little phoenix was in Ye Xiao's arms. It almost hid itself entirely in Erhuo's fur. It looked at the dragon egg and sneer at it.
It was just a baby, so it didn't know what a miracle it just created. Erhuo had always occupied this position in Ye Xiao's arms on his own. Nobody dared to set foot on its territory. The little phoenix actually got in. It definitely challenged Erhuo!
Ye Xiao thought for a while and took out the jade pendant the Golden Phoenix King gave him. He was going to crack it to summon the Golden Phoenix King and asked about the situation.
He thought for a while but eventually gave up the idea. He started to stare at the dragon egg instead.
He had a feeling that the baby dragon would be extraordinary as well. He decided to wait for the baby dragon, so he could ask about both situations…
He could ask the dragon king and the phoenix king at the same time…
While the cracking sound came from the eggshell, the dragon egg was broken…
A small head rushed out fiercely. The baby dragon was shaking its head. Apparently, that hit nearly knocked it out…Read more chapter on NovelFull
Afterward, the small head went back into the egg and continued hitting the eggshell…
The cracked pieces started to be hit off…
The next moment, a golden-color tiny baby dragon appeared.
It was just like the phoenix. It saw Ye Xiao and felt close to him.
"Mum…" The dragon said.
Ye Xiao was awkward…
The phoenix called him dad. It was not easy to get used to, but at least it didn't treat him as a woman. The dragon called him mum… That was a huge mistake. He couldn't allow that!
Ye Xiao looked at his chest and his crotch…
He was blank.
The dragon looked better than the baby phoenix. In fact, the dragon was more sensitive than the phoenix. It started to walk around Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao watched it for a while and realized something that indicated the baby dragon's incredible power. It was actually flying over the ground. It was swimming in the air like a fish in the water! It was born to control the power of flying!
Ye Xiao was shocked.
Dragons should be trained to have the ability to fly. The baby dragon was actually born with such a gift. That already made it extraordinary…
The baby dragon moved close to Ye Xiao for a while and suddenly turned around toward the cracked eggshell…
Just like the phoenix, it started to eat the eggshell.
Ye Xiao stared at the dragon's head.
When a dragon was born, its scales were reversed. While the reversed scales covered the entire body, the normal golden scales would grow out.
Whoever touched a dragon's reversed scales would die. In fact, in some cases, the dragon died when its reversed scales were touched. The reversed scales were important!
After the reversed scales, the dragon started to have golden scales, which were to protect its heart. The more golden scales a baby dragon had, the more potential the dragon has. A baby dragon born with three golden scales was good enough. After the golden scales grew, it took one year before the other scales started to grow.
The number the golden scales indicated how powerful the dragon could be.
A baby dragon with less than three golden scales was never recognized as a dragon. Only those with over three golden scales could be dragons. Those who had four golden scales were geniuses in the dragon clan. They could become the most powerful dragons in the clan. Those who had over five golden scales might become king!
As was recorded, in the dragon clan's history, there was one dragon who had nine golden scales, who was a legend. He reached the Infinity Stage in the end. That was a dragon in ancient times!
The Purple Dragon King was only at Undead Stage, and he was already the most powerful dragon in the clan!
Ye Xiao looked at the baby dragon and saw the reversed scales shining. These scales protected its body.
One after another, the golden scales started to grow. It was growing fast.
Ye Xiao stared at it and felt surprised.
The golden scales kept growing out. The dragon kept eating the eggshell, and the golden scales kept showing up.
One, two, three… Five…
Within a few minutes, the baby dragon had five golden scales already. The Purple Dragon King must only have one or two golden scales than five. However, the baby dragon had only eaten ten percent of the eggshell…
As expected, more golden scales showed up… There were already eight…
Ye Xiao was so shocked. He didn't know what to say. The baby dragon was going to have at least nine golden scales! It could be ten!
As the dragon ate the eggshell, two small buds were growing out on its head… They were getting bigger…
"Dragon horns?" Ye Xiao was so in shock.
'Dragon horns… Many dragons can't have their dragon horns even after cultivating for five hundred years… How come this little thing starts to have its dragon horns so soon?'
Ye Xiao was surprised at first, and then he was shocked. After that, he was astonished, and in the end, he was confused!
