Chapter 1115: Chapter 200: You Were My First Encounter! (Second Update)

"Phoenix Emperor." An old phoenix walked behind the Phoenix Emperor and respectfully called out.

The Phoenix Emperor withdrew his gaze from the sky and turned to look at him.

As the Phoenix Emperor’s gaze fell, he seemed even more respectful. "Phoenix Emperor, now that the Divine Demon Continent has gained another saint, but who exactly is this saint, and to which clan do they belong?"

He paused and continued, "I have dispatched my subordinates to investigate, to see if anyone has broken through to the Saint Realm in the Demon Forest."

"Upon entering the Saint Realm, unless by choice, one’s presence is like returning to simplicity, difficult to perceive. If that new saint hasn’t emitted their presence, you won’t be able to find them," the Phoenix Emperor spoke indifferently, hands behind his back.

The old phoenix raised his eyes and hesitantly asked, "Well... generally speaking, when someone becomes a saint, it is a matter deserving of celebration. Whether it’s the person themselves or those around them, they would make a big show of announcing it, right? Would anyone keep such a low profile?"

The Phoenix Emperor fell silent for a moment before saying, "Then investigate and see if there are any results."

"Yes, Phoenix Emperor." The old phoenix bowed respectfully.

After discussing this matter, the old phoenix paused and said, "Phoenix Emperor, the Princess has been through Nirvana for ten years. Recently, there have been signs of the Nirvana Fire extinguishing. It seems the Princess and that Human Clan will be emerging."

The Phoenix Emperor’s expression changed slightly, and he said sternly, "How many times have I told you, that Human Clan is called Mu Qingge."

"Yes, Mu Qingge." The old phoenix quickly corrected himself.

"Phoenix Emperor, the Princess and Mu Qingge are about to emerge. Should we make any preparations?" The old phoenix inquired.

The Phoenix Emperor glared, "Of course! My daughter has returned, and has undergone Nirvana Awakening; shouldn’t the heavens and earth celebrate?"

"But, considering the Princess’s previous ordeal... what if the scoundrel who abducted the Empress and the Princess learns of this?" The old phoenix said worriedly.

"Fear what! This emperor fears they won’t dare come!" The Phoenix Emperor exclaimed angrily.

The old phoenix fell silent, waiting for the Phoenix Emperor’s anger to subside a bit before suggesting, "Perhaps it’s better to wait until the Princess awakens, and then talk about celebrations."

The Phoenix Emperor’s expression changed, finally waving his hand in impatience to concede.

He wasn’t afraid of the Wuhua God Emperor finding out he retrieved his daughter, but he feared the decision he made privately would wound Chu Nian’s heart.

The old phoenix bowed and retreated, leaving behind the somewhat solitary silhouette of the Phoenix Emperor standing on the spot.

...

With the emergence of the saintly image, the most shaken were the sixteen Divine Domains within the Four Seas Divine Land.

In every Divine Domain, whether east, south, west, or north, there was speculation over who had broken through to the Saint Realm?

Who is it?

Who exactly is it?

For a while, scouts from each Divine Domain were frantically searching for news of the new saint.

In the Huan Yue Domain, the Huan Yue God Emperor lounged lazily on the couch. Judging by his disheveled attire, he seemed to have just awoken from a dream. His expression was lazy, his dark hair loose, and his upward-tilting phoenix eyes gazed towards the sky outside the window.

The old God Emperor walked in, hands behind his back, and upon seeing his appearance, said, "You’ve seen it, haven’t you? Another new saint has appeared in the Divine Demon Continent. I’m afraid the long-calm Divine Demon Continent is about to become unsettled."

The Huan Yue God Emperor’s gaze flickered slightly before he slowly withdrew it. He answered irrelevant to the question, "Third Brother has been gone for ten years now, it’s about time for his return."

Surprised, the old God Emperor widened his eyes, "Old man, I’m talking to you about the new saint, why are you bringing up that little fellow?"

The Huan Yue God Emperor lowered his eyes in silence, his handsome features like a statue.

"I understand, you’re worried that the little fellow is out there causing trouble, getting into danger, facing losses, correct?" The old God Emperor said.

The Huan Yue God Emperor remained noncommittal.

The old God Emperor chuckled, "Rest assured, whatever losses, that little fellow will never suffer. He’s not one to stay put. Let him venture out, when he’s tired, he’ll naturally return home. Besides, if anyone does bully him, aren’t there the two of us old fellows?"

At this moment, the Huan Yue God Emperor glanced at him and said, "This Emperor is not old."

...

In the Demon Forest, within the Phoenix Tree Forest, the Nirvana Fire gradually turned white, about to disappear.

Over the past ten years, Mu Qingge continuously experienced life and death, death and rebirth. Thanks to the insights from the Reincarnation Yin Yang Flame, she already had a certain understanding of the Life and Death Dao principles, and further comprehended the One Thought Finger. Now, having immersed herself in the Nirvana Fire for ten years, her comprehension of the Life and Death Dao has deepened even more.

It can be said that her understanding of the One Thought Finger has reached a pinnacle.

From now on, she could finally set aside the One Thought Finger and begin learning the second magic from the Divine Strategy Lower Volume! — Sky Dragon Fist!

Mu Qingge slowly opened her eyes, and the scene before her gradually became clear. Her purple earrings were repaired, and her clothing was intact.

Over the span of ten years, it felt as if only a single night had passed.

Recalling the scene from ten years ago, when Chu Nian transformed into a Fire Phoenix and rushed toward her, it was as though it happened yesterday.

Mu Qingge couldn’t help but sigh, "Indeed, cultivation knows no time, a day in the mountain equals a thousand years in the world!"

Storing away her sentiments, Mu Qingge’s gaze fell on the Nine-Colored Phoenix lying before her. With a single glance, she recognized that this still-sleeping Nine-Colored Phoenix was the bloodline-awakened Chu Nian.

The Nine-colored Phoenix, it was Mu Qingge’s first time seeing one, and it was absolutely stunning!

Mu Qingge admired in awe, observing the nine colors on Chu Nian’s body shimmered with golden light, her feathers exquisite, devoid of any flaw.

Suddenly, Mu Qingge’s brows furrowed slightly, closing her eyes to deeply reflect.

She suddenly realized that within her Divine Sense sea, a miniature phoenix was freely soaring. As if sensing her ’observation,’ the little phoenix turned its eyes towards her and let out a friendly, clear cry.

This clear cry, filled with dependence, made Mu Qingge’s lips slightly curl into a kind smile.

She understood, this was the bond left on her after forming the contract with Chu Nian. She also knew that within Chu Nian’s Divine Sense, there must be a trace of the Divine Thought Contract connecting her.

From now on, they were bound together in life and death.

To think, forming a Life and Death Contract with the Phoenix Clan’s Phoenix was highly advantageous for her. Because, the most special clause of this Life and Death Contract is life-sharing.

Mu Qingge withdrew from her divine sense and gradually opened her eyes.

As she opened her eyes, the still-sleeping Chu Nian began to slowly open her eyes.

At the moment she opened her eyes, the true form of the Nine-Colored Phoenix disappeared, and the familiar Chu Nian appeared before her.

Chu Nian’s phoenix eyes were incredibly clear, pristine without a single blemish. She looked at Mu Qingge, reflecting Mu Qingge’s image vividly in her eyes, showing a hint of perplexity.

This hint of perplexity made Mu Qingge’s heart skip a beat, thinking, ’Could she have forgotten?’

She asked, "Chu Nian, do you still remember me?"
