Chapter 1114: Chapter 199: Another Saint Emerges! (Part 1)

In Wutong Palace, the Phoenix Emperor sat on the throne with a sullen face.

Chu Nian’s actions caused him endless headaches.

What troubled him even more was the group of young phoenixes and old phoenixes standing in Wutong Palace!

"Why are you meddling in my daughter’s affairs?" the Phoenix Emperor said unhappily. He vented the anger caused by Chu Nian’s private decision onto this group of birds who had come to him.

"Phoenix Emperor, because it’s about the Princess, we cannot help but worry!" an old phoenix said earnestly.

Another old phoenix added, "Phoenix Emperor, you finally found the Princess. How can you allow her to casually undergo the Nirvana Fire together with a member of the Human Clan?"

"The Princess holds such a noble status. How can she easily form a contract with a human?"

"Yes! Phoenix Emperor, how can our Phoenix Clan’s Princess form a contract with the Human Clan? You must think of a solution!"

"Phoenix Emperor, think of a solution!"

"Phoenix Emperor..."

The Phoenix Emperor, annoyed by their clamor, angrily shouted, "Enough! Silence, all of you!"

As soon as he got angry, Wutong Palace fell into silence.

The Phoenix Emperor scanned everyone in Wutong Palace with gloomy eyes, speaking with resentment: "Do you think this is what I want? But this is Chu Nian’s own choice. You ask me to find a way, but tell me, what way is there? Now that they have already undergone the Nirvana Fire together, tell me, how can it be stopped?"

His words left the group of phoenixes speechless.

The clan members looked at each other, and after a long while, none could propose a useful solution. Finally, they helplessly looked to the Phoenix Emperor, with eyes as frustrated as his.

Seeing them like this made the Phoenix Emperor even angrier, just about to lash out, when suddenly a young phoenix spoke: "Phoenix Emperor, why don’t we wait until the Princess’s Nirvana is over, and then kill that audacious human?"

"Nonsense!" the Phoenix Emperor roared.

Instantly, the young phoenix was so frightened it reverted to its original form, turning into a tricolored phoenix.

Within the Phoenix Clan, bloodlines are denoted by colors. Monochrome is the lowest level, followed by tricolored, five-colored, seven-colored, and the most honorable, nine-colored.

In the Phoenix Clan, only the Phoenix is nine-colored. As for Chu Nian’s bloodline, it can only be known after her Nirvana is complete.

"Once Nirvana is done, Chu Nian will form a Life and Death Contract with Mu Qingge. If you kill Mu Qingge, won’t it also take Chu Nian’s life?" the Phoenix Emperor said angrily.

"Spare me, Phoenix Emperor! Forgive me, Phoenix Emperor!" The tricolored phoenix dared not speak further, flapping its wings twice and then dropping its head like a quail.

Having vented, the Phoenix Emperor let out a deep sigh.

Both he and the other phoenixes understood at this moment, the die was cast.

"If after the Princess’s Nirvana ends, she isn’t nine-colored, all is well. But if she is nine-colored, she will inevitably be our new emperor. Phoenix Emperor, if that’s the case, what should we do?" an old phoenix put forth the most difficult problem.

A phoenix also stepped forward, saying to the Phoenix Emperor: "Our Phoenix Clan has always valued bloodline supremacy. If no other nine-colored phoenix is born in the clan, and the Princess turns out to be a nine-colored phoenix, our future emperor forming a contract with a human would surely disgrace our Phoenix Clan."

"Indeed, that’s quite right!"

"Certainly, it’s too shameful."

All around, due to this issue, discussions started again.

The Phoenix Emperor’s face turned darker and more unsightly. Others might not know Chu Nian’s bloodline, but how could he, as her father, not know? He is a nine-colored phoenix, his wife is a nine-colored phoenix, what else could their daughter be?

"There’s only one way to reclaim our dignity," the Phoenix Emperor said in a deep voice.

"What way?"

All the birds turned to the Phoenix Emperor.

With piercing eyes, the Phoenix Emperor said, "Unless that person becomes the strongest in the Human Clan. That way, it wouldn’t disgrace my little phoenix."

Hiss——!

All the phoenixes and many other birds were taken aback. The Phoenix Emperor was right. The problem was, could this human achieve becoming the strongest?

The Phoenix Emperor sighed and said helplessly, "Let’s wait and see."

These four words made all members of the Phoenix Clan realize that once Chu Nian’s bloodline was confirmed, the fate of the Phoenix Clan would be tied closely with this human.

...

In the Nirvana Fire, Chu Nian had transformed into a Fire Phoenix, her body burned by the Nirvana Fire, color indiscernible, as if formed from flames.

At the center, which she protected closely, sat a person cross-legged, none other than Mu Qingge.

Currently, she too appeared like molten fire, her features indistinct, even her clothes seemingly turned to flame. The purple earring on her left ear was heavily damaged under the Nirvana Fire, repairing automatically. During this process, her feminine form emerged.

Chu Nian’s phoenix eyes fixed on Mu Qingge’s feminine figure, her gaze already calm, not feeling surprised.

She hadn’t expected Mu Qingge to be a woman, but she did not regret her choice now.

Suddenly, the flames on both of them increased once more, and the unbearable pain of Nirvana made Chu Nian cry out.

Mu Qingge’s face began to melt as well.

Seeing this, Chu Nian suddenly opened her mouth, and from it dripped a droplet of lush green Ice Dew, falling on Mu Qingge’s head, alleviating the pain of Nirvana for her while she endured silently.

This treasure, found by the Phoenix Emperor for Chu Nian, could reduce the pain of Nirvana and lower the risk of failure.

But now, she actually used it on Mu Qingge. She was fulfilling her promise, using everything to protect Mu Qingge’s safety.

The Nirvana Fire burned unceasingly, day after day, month after month, year after year.

The world experienced several changes of seasons, storms rose and fell on the Four Seas Divine Land, and in a blink, ten years passed like a fleeting moment.

After ten years of Nirvana, Mu Qingge felt it was just a fleeting dream, and upon regaining consciousness, she only felt her cultivation finally loosen, the thick and powerful divine power constantly impacting her body, directly breaking through her original Spirit Cave Realm Eighth Layer cultivation realm.

Spirit Cave Realm Ninth Layer!

Crack!

Upon entering Spirit Cave Realm Ninth Layer, the powerful divine power continued to surge through her even stronger body, and after a crisp sound, she entered the First Layer of Saint Realm.

A Saint emerges, casting its shadow on all continents.

When Mu Qingge broke through Saint Realm, a blurred image appeared over the Divine Demon Continent. Whether in the Demon Realm, on the Four Seas Divine Land, in the Demon Forest, or the Insect Abyss, everyone was drawn to that image.

However, the image was quite fuzzy, showing only for a moment before it faintly vanished.

"Another Saint has emerged," the Phoenix Emperor stood in Wutong Palace, looking at the disappearing image with a sigh. Now in the Eighth Layer of Saint Realm, his feelings upon witnessing the emergence of a Saint were complex.

This meant, the Divine Demon Continent had another powerful being, the ensuing turmoil, unpredictable...
