Nie Fanchen reverted to his original name, Ji Gongnie!
Great Li changed its name to Great Zhou!
He took in a retainer, Sage Gongshu Zi.
He reclaimed his old subjects and obtained eight large territories!
Ji Gongnie immediately took control of the ten domains. Although he was only a Saint King and hadn't regained his former status as the Celestial Emperor, no one could stop him.
Great Zhou officially rose to power in the West Continent.
The West Continent used to be Great Zhou's domain. Ten of the thirty-six domains had fallen into Ji Gongnie's hands with the help of the Phoenix Race, Sage, and old Great Zhou officials. Ji Gongnie's return was irreversible.
In this battle, Ji Gong Nie was the one who benefited the most.
"Approved!"
Ji Gongnie confirmed his gains.
The Domain Lords of the other eight Domains immediately stood respectfully among their subjects.
"Jiang Shang!" Ji Gongnie said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Announce this to the world! Let the world celebrate! Pardon the world! Today is the day the scribe writes!" Ji Gongnie declared.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jiang Shang immediately replied.
"Father Guo Shi!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Send a message to Old Mother Phoenix. Great Zhou is re-established and we invite her to come out!" Ji Gongnie said.
"Holy King, Old Mother Phoenix said she doesn't want to come out. If we call her now, what if …!" Father Guo Shi looked troubled.
"Whether she can come out or not, try your best!" Ji Gongnie said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Wait!" Zhong Shan suddenly said.
Zhong Shan's shout was very sudden, causing everyone present to be slightly stunned.
Zhong Shan? What is he doing?
"Chung Holy King?" Ji Gongnie was confused.
"Holy King Ji, this is too sudden. Zhong Shan has no choice but to take his leave!" Zhong Shan said.
"Oh?" Ji Gongnie was surprised.
Naturally, the officials had an unfriendly look on their faces. What was Zhong Shan doing during the Great Zhou Dynasty's celebration?
"The heroes of the Tian Family have already made their move. Zhong Shan can't stay here any longer, so I'm here to resign. I also want to ask Holy King Ji to introduce me to Old Mother Phoenix. I want to take Vermillion Bird away!" Zhong Shan solemnly said.
When Ling'er heard that she was leaving, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes. Nie Qingqing was the same. She looked at Tian Ling'er and then looked at Zhong Shan. Her emotions were extremely complicated.
"Vermilion Bird?" Ji Gongnie looked at Zhong Shan with a complicated expression.
Perhaps because of the sudden change in his identity, Ji Gongnie considered more things.
"Holy King Ji, have you forgotten?" Zhong Shan asked.
For Zhong Shan to leave Da Zhou, on one hand, the Tian family is about to send a large number of strong espers over. On the other hand, it's because of Ji Gongnie. Ji Gongnie's identity has changed. If he stays for a long time, anything can happen. It was better to leave as soon as possible.
"Alright, follow me!" Ji Gongnie nodded.
Since Ji Gongnie had agreed, the officials naturally couldn't say anything more. They just looked at Zhong Shan curiously, especially Gongshu Zi. Because Gongshu Zi knew about Vermillion Bird's identity. Vermillion Bird is the derivative of Old Mother Phoenix's daughter! Take her away? On what basis can Zhong Shan take her away?
With a wave of his sleeve, the auspicious cloud carried everyone out of the dragon's head and flew toward an area where the phoenixes gathered.
Soon, they arrived in front of a huge mountain.
In front of the mountain, there was a large number of buildings where a large number of powerful phoenixes lived.
"Holy King!" A group of phoenixes walked over and greeted respectfully.
Ji Gongnie nodded and led everyone to the foot of the mountain. There was a huge cave at the foot of the mountain. The cave was ten feet high, and there were two words engraved on it.
Phoenix Nest!
The cave was square in shape, and there seemed to be a black vortex inside. It looked extremely mysterious. Obviously, there was a small world inside.
When everyone got close, a beautiful red figure suddenly walked out from the entrance of the phoenix nest.
Seeing this figure, Ling'er was overjoyed. Because Ling'er also recognized this person. It was the Phoenix Tribe's Paragon in the small world, Wu Jiutian.
This was also the first time Zhong Shan saw Wu Jiutian in the Phoenix Territory.
"Paragon Wu!" Zhong Shan smiled and nodded.
Wu Jiutian looked at Zhong Shan and also nodded. Then, Wu Jiutian looked at Ji Gongnie.
"Mother already knows about the rise of Great Zhou. Mother hasn't left the phoenix nest for hundreds of thousands of years, and she doesn't want to come out this time. Let me congratulate Great Zhou on behalf of Mother and wish for Great Zhou to rule the world!" Wu Jiutian said.
"Then I thank Old Mother Phoenix for her kindness. However, I'm not here to talk about Great Zhou's rise. I also want to recommend someone for Old Mother Phoenix! It's related to Old Mother Phoenix! "Ji Gongnie said.
"Oh?" Wu Jiutian was slightly surprised.
Recommend someone? Ji Gongnie had never recommended anyone for Mother Phoenix!
"You know this person, it's Zhong Shan. Bring him to see Old Mother Phoenix!" Ji Gongnie said.
"Zhong Shan?" Wu Jiutian looked at Zhong Shan in surprise.
"Old Mother Phoenix knows why I'm here. You only need to bring him into the phoenix nest!" Ji Gongnie said.
Wu Jiutian looked at Zhong Shan with a strange expression, then at Ji Gongnie. In the end, he nodded because he knew that Ji Gongnie wouldn't lie about this matter.
"Thank you for your trouble!" Zhong Shan said to Wu Jiutian.
"Since that's the case, come with me. However, only you can enter the phoenix nest!" Wu Jiutian said with a frown.
"En!" Zhong Shan nodded.
Everyone else waited outside the phoenix nest while Zhong Shan followed Wu Jiutian to the entrance.
"Whoosh!" The two of them entered and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The moment they entered, they saw a bright light.
It was a brand new small world.
Zhong Shan looked up and saw that the sky above the small world was filled with flames. A huge mountain stood at the center of the small world, and there were several palaces on top of it.
"Jiutian, why are you back?"
Suddenly, a majestic voice resounded between heaven and earth. The voice was very distant, as if it came from the ancient times. It made people feel a heavy sense of oppression when they heard it.
"Ji Gongnie asked me to introduce you to someone, Zhong Shan!" Wu Jiutian looked up at the mountain and said.
"Zhong Shan?" The majestic voice sounded again.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Shan took a step forward and said in a clear voice, "Junior Zhong Shan greets Senior Phoenix Old Mother."
"What do you want?" The majestic voice sounded.
"I'm here to ask Senior to let Vermillion Bird follow me to the Daikon State!" Zhong Shan said calmly.
"Let Vermillion Bird go?"
"My wife, Tian Ling'Er and Vermillion Bird have a close relationship. Ling'Er cannot leave Vermillion Bird, and Vermillion Bird cannot leave Ling'Er. I ask Senior to let them go on account of their friendship!" Zhong Shan said solemnly.
Wu Jiutian frowned.
"Vermillion Bird is a derivative of Jiutian, and also my daughter. You want me to let you take my daughter away? On what basis? "The majestic voice became slightly cold.
The flames in the sky continued to churn.
"On the basis that I, Zhong Shan, can protect her!" I can protect her! "Zhong Shan took a step forward and said.
"On the basis of you? On the basis of your luck in these few battles? "Phoenix Old Mother said indifferently.
On the basis of his luck in these few battles? Zhong Shan immediately confirmed that Phoenix Old Mother was indeed paying attention to his battles. Ji Gongnie must have told her to take Vermillion Bird away, but Phoenix Old Mother was unwilling, so she kept Vermillion Bird by her side.
"Luck? Senior praises me too much. I, Zhong Shan, have never relied on luck to reach this step in more than a thousand years. I also don't believe in luck! "Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"What will you use to protect my daughter? Unless you take out a strength that I believe in, you can leave by yourself! "Phoenix Old Mother said indifferently.
Phoenix Old Mother's words were not so resolute. It was obvious that Ji Gongnie had put in a lot of effort, and Vermillion Bird must have been incited by Tian Ling'Er to make a fuss. That was why Phoenix Old Mother was so easy to talk to.
"Strength? Have you ever seen an emperor display his strength in front of people? "Zhong Shan said indifferently.
Zhong Shan refused. Display his strength in front of people? Zhong Shan had never done such a thing, and would never do such a thing. Zhong Shan's strength was used to kill people, not to perform like a clown.
Every action of an emperor had a corresponding purpose. Revealing one's strength just for a performance? No emperor would do such a thing. Even if they did, they would be looked down upon for no reason.
"Kuangsheng!" Phoenix Old Mother's tone was cold.
In a moment of anger, the endless flames in the sky suddenly surged. Then, a huge phoenix claw with a diameter of ten thousand feet tore through the void, shook off the endless flames, and descended from the sky.
The huge phoenix claw was pointed at Zhong Shan below. A surge of aura pressed down, and that aura was so strong that it shook the void.
The huge pressure even made Zhong Shan's bones crackle.
Too strong. This aura was too strong. Apart from the Eye of Heaven, this was the strongest Zhong Shan felt. Even when facing a Saint, it was inferior.
The powerful Phoenix Old Mother. Was this Phoenix Old Mother's strength?
Seeing that the huge phoenix claw was about to grab him, Zhong Shan's eyes turned cold. He stretched out his hand and grabbed. An item appeared in his palm. With difficulty, he raised it to the sky. That item suddenly expanded to ten thousand feet in size and faced the phoenix claw.
"Ang ~!"
"Ang ~!"
… … …
… … …
… …
That item flew out. Accompanied by nine majestic dragon roars, it faced the phoenix claw.
Above that item, space was pushed out into a flat surface, and eight words were squeezed out.
"Receiving the mandate of the heavens, long live and prosperous!"
It was the Daikon State's Holy Court's divine weapon, the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal. Carrying the Daikon State's might, it collided with the phoenix claw.
"Boom ~!"
With a loud bang, a huge black hole appeared in the sky. The Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal seemed to be unable to withstand it. Just as it was about to be defeated, the red pearl of the Nine Dragons Seize the Pearl suddenly released a large amount of red light, filling the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal. The Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal immediately shone brightly and blocked that strong pressure.
"Eh!"
Phoenix Old Mother's soft exclamation came from the void. Then, the phoenix claw disappeared. Zhong Shan also quickly kept the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal.
However, just as the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal shrunk and landed in Zhong Shan's palm …
"Don't move!" Phoenix Old Mother's shout came from the void.
Then, a huge binding force appeared in the void, and Zhong Shan's entire body seemed to be imprisoned.
Zhong Shan's face sank, and he said, "Phoenix Old Mother, is this how you treat your guests?"
Zhong Shan could not move. Zhong Shan did have a backup plan to break free from the binding. However, after breaking free, Zhong Shan admitted that he was still far from being a match for Phoenix Old Mother. If Phoenix Old Mother was serious, he would be doomed. Moreover, the red luan and pink lotus between his eyebrows did not change color, which meant that there was no danger.
However, how could Zhong Shan remain calm after being imprisoned like this? Fortunately, this binding force disappeared very quickly.
"His item, his item is actually in your hands!" Phoenix Old Mother let out a voice that sounded like she was recalling the past.
Zhong Shan suddenly regained his freedom, but his face was extremely gloomy. With a flip of his hand, he kept the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal. His mood was extremely bad. Zhong Shan could accept Phoenix Old Mother using her phoenix claw to test him. However, this kind of imprisonment of freedom, even if it was only for a short period of time. Zhong Shan was also extremely unhappy in his heart.
