"Alright then!"
After some consideration, Feng Xiwu finally nodded and agreed. He really could not trap the little phoenix in this tiny phoenix nest forever, and staying by Li Qingshan's side was even safer than staying on Fire Melt mountain.
The little phoenix let out a cheer and turned back to his original form, flying around Feng Xiwu a few times before throwing himself into his arms. "Thank you, second father!"
"There will be a day when you leave this world and follow your true parents. You will find that wutong that belongs to you." Feng Xiwu hugged him tightly. His smile carried some melancholy.
The phoenix flew away, leaving behind the wutong in the air for ten thousand years.
The little phoenix was taken aback. Suddenly, he felt pained. How could he not sense the ten thousand years of companionship? Originally, he wanted to fly even further away, but only when he truly parted did he discover he still had not grown accustomed to it. This was a feeling that the phoenix's legacy had never taught him. Tears rolled down his cheeks. He almost wanted to change his words.
"It's not easy to find a wutong as good as you. If you don't want to be separated like this, then cultivate properly. Let's go to a higher world together and take a look!" Li Qingshan patted Feng Xiwu's shoulder.
"That's reasonable. We should take another step forward!"
Feng Xiwu smiled as well. He was a plant daemon, but as a natural divine tree, his cultivation speed should not have been so slow. He had spent far too much effort hatching the phoenix's embryo, which affected his cultivation speed.
"Don't worry, second father. I definitely won't find another wutong!" The little phoenix wiped away his tears and clenched his fists.
Feng Xiwu smiled and said to Li Qingshan, "I'll leave Feng Yuan to you. You're the first father. If anything happens to him, I-"
"Cut the bullshit. He needs to grasp his own fate. If he's bold enough to do it, then he's bold enough to take responsibility for it. If it's not because his surname is Li, I'll take care of him for the rest of his life. Even if he dies outside, he can forget about it!"
Li Qingshan said firmly. He wanted something spectacular, yet he was afraid of danger. How could there be something as good as that in the world?
"You-" Feng Xiwu was speechless. His expression changed several times before finally shaking his head and sighing. "This is the first time I feel that you're indeed more suitable to be a father than me."
"Of course!" The little phoenix clenched his fists. His gaze was determined. No matter how different the phoenix's legacy was from Li Qingshan's will, there was one similarity at the very least, and that was to not be a coward!
"Alright, let's go!" Li Qingshan leapt out of the crater and Little Ann followed closely behind. The little phoenix hugged Li Qingshan again. "Second father, I'll come back to visit you when I have time!"
A phoenix cry rang out in all directions. The cry of a young phoenix was clearer than the cry of an old phoenix.
The phoenix spread its wings, rushing into the heavens, unexpectedly also tens of thousands of zhang in brilliance.
A few shamans and cultivators gathered at the foot of Fire Melt mountain. They had all come to Fire Melt mountain in search of treasure before being caught by the little phoenix. Right now, they all gazed at the sky in amazement.
The radiance was brilliant, dazzling and dazzling. She turned her neck, and her feathers danced in the wind. She had an innate elegance, and even Li Qingshan and Little Ann were amazed.
Little Phoenix flew a few rounds in the sky and stopped on Li Qingshan's shoulder, lightly pecking his cheek, "Let's go! Let's go! "
Little Ann passed on what Gongyuan and the others had told her to Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan gazed at the South sea in the distance and took out the Heart of the Abyss. He said, "Wait for me on Savage mountain first. I'll pay a visit to the South sea!"
Before he had even finished talking, he had already taken off, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
The little phoenix secretly glanced at Little Ann. He felt some instinctive fear towards her. He could not help but feel rather uneasy about being alone with her right now.
"I'll let you fly for a while. Let's see who reaches Savage mountain first. The loser has to pluck a feather for me!"
Little Ann smiled. The smile was different from before. Instead, it was filled with true emotions.
The little phoenix immediately found her to be so amiable, which roused his competitive spirit again. He flapped his wings and said, "Alright!"
As a result, he embarked on the first journey of his life in a bet. He flapped his wings as hard as he could and flew towards the distant horizon. The world seemed endless.
Feng Xiwu stood at the top of a tree and gazed into the distance. He wanted to say something, but he faltered a few times. The little phoenix was his greatest secret. Originally, he wanted to keep this secret under wraps and avoid being coveted by others. However, with such a grand flight, the little phoenix's existence would definitely be known by the world. However, on further thought, how could his true brilliance always remain hidden?
"Look, that's my child!"
On that day, many people saw a legendary phoenix fly across the sky.
… …
When Savage mountain appeared on the horizon, the little phoenix glanced backwards. He still did not see Little Ann's figure, so he could not help but let out a complacent cry. He muttered to himself, "You're trying to make me suffer, aren't you? But hold on, I have to pluck a feather if I lose. Why didn't I say what she has to do if she loses? "
"You're thinking too much." A voice drifted over, as if it had rang out right by his ear.
"What?" Before the little phoenix could even respond, he felt a slight pain. A white figure brushed past him. Little Ann held a feather between her fingers and vanished into the rolling mist that enveloped Savage mountain.
The little phoenix was extremely vexed, but he could not help but admire her strength. His endless fighting spirit was roused, and he became excited again. A feather was nothing to him. This was the first time he had flown like this in his life. He felt much faster than when he was on Fire Melt mountain. He understood that this was because he had unleashed a portion of the power in his body. Looking back, Fire Melt mountain had already vanished.
He secretly made up his mind and dove towards Savage mountain. The mist dispersed, and the view before him suddenly opened up. All he saw was Little Ann standing on a towering tree. He landed on it as well.
The glorious light threw Savage mountain into chaos. The Banyan Tree King was filled with amazement too. "That's … a phoenix!" As if his past memories had been revived, the figure he originally thought he would never see again actually appeared before him again. He asked Little Ann, "Where did you find him? There's no need to say anything. I understand. "
Feng Xiwu had left the main peak of Fire Melt mountain ten thousand years ago, so he had already guessed this. Combined with Li Qingshan's stay in the phoenix's nest, the matter became as clear as day.
"He's Qingshan's foster son!" Little Ann said.
"If he didn't have a foster father like that, why would Feng Xiwu let him out?" The Banyan Tree King expressed his understanding. A droplet of phoenix blood refined into a pill could extend one's lifespan. It was enough to tempt any cultivator.
"First father is the strongest! You're the Banyan Tree King? I know you. Sure enough, you're much bigger than second father! "
"That's right. I might not be a wutong, but please rest for now," said the Banyan Tree King. He also felt rather honoured.
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" The little phoenix looked around curiously.
"What an auspicious omen, but what a pity!"
The Banyan Tree King sighed. Legend had it that the appearance of the phoenix was a symbol of peace, but the world was in chaos right now. Although Li Qingshan had basically flattened all the demon caverns in the south, the Demon domain did not seem to have any intentions of giving up. The situation was becoming more and more chaotic.
