Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1826: Ye Xiao’s Anger

When the world was new, there were a few extremely powerful figures!

One of them was a phoenix. The first phoenix in history was the ancestor of all the other phoenixes that were born afterward. The phoenix was created by the sky and earth. The Netherworld Phoenix was the primal descendant of the great phoenix ancestor. The great phoenix ancestor flew away and never came back, so the Netherworld Phoenix became the supremacy of the phoenix clan. Because of the hard work of the Netherworld Phoenix, the phoenix clan grew bigger and bigger, stronger and stronger. Even the leaders of the phoenix clan didn’t know there was a great phoenix ancestor. However, the Golden Phoenix King knew it.

Information of the great phoenix ancestor was a mystery. According to the records that were accessible, even the most powerful cultivators in the Human Realm Upon Heavens hadn’t reach the level of the great phoenix ancestor. For the great phoenix ancestor, people in the current world were as weak as ants!

How powerful was the great phoenix ancestor? The Land of Han-Yang couldn’t hold the cultivators who were beyond the Sky Origin Stage. The Qing-Yun Realm couldn’t hold the people beyond the Dao Origin Stage. The Human Realm Upon Heavens couldn’t hold the great phoenix ancestor. The powerful great phoenix ancestor tore the space apart and left this world at the end of the story.

There were different versions about the ending of the story though. Some said the great phoenix ancestor met some mighty figure, who might be another great figure of the phoenix clan. Anyway, the great phoenix ancestor was guided to a higher level, so the great phoenix ancestor left the world for the Dao of greatness.

It was a story after all. People must have told different versions. The phoenix clan definitely said it was a great figure of the phoenix clan who pointed the direction for the great phoenix ancestor. The Monster Clan claimed it was a great monster ancestor. The dragon clan said it was a dragon…

In fact, people even heard that the great phoenix ancestor was kept by a human as his pet…

Nobody knew what to believe because there was no evidence anyway!

It was true that there used to be a great phoenix ancestor who was incredibly powerful. It was a glorious history of the phoenix clan.

The time of the great phoenix ancestor was long gone. Generation after generation, less and less information was left to the world. The kings of the phoenix clan still passed the information on one to another. The others knew little. The world started to forget there used to be such a powerful character in the world…

As the king of the phoenix clan, the Golden Phoenix King knew things.

There was no way to prove whether it was true or not, but it was a story that came from all the former kings after all.

When the great phoenix ancestor was born, he was born in the complete form of a phoenix, which meant he had nine feathers on the crown!

The phoenix crown with nine feathers had a special name, the Returning Saint Crown!

Nine indicated the utmost!

It was just a tale. A legend that nobody dared to even imagine having. No phoenixes after the great phoenix ancestor ever had the Returning Saint Crown! The Netherworld Phoenix only had seven feathers on the crown, and the others never had more than five feathers on the crown.

A phoenix with five feathers on the crown was already one of the most powerful figures in the Human Realm Upon Heavens!

The Returning Saint Crown was a tale of the phoenix clan, but also a scar that still hurt!

There was no Returning Saint Crown anymore, so the phoenix clan was not going to be great anymore!

In fact, the phoenixes couldn’t even have seven feathers anymore, not to mention nine!

Even the Golden Phoenix King had only four feathers, even though the Golden Phoenix King had the power of fire and was born nobler than the other phoenixes.

Getting one more feather on the crown after having three was unimaginably difficult!

The Golden Phoenix King had never thought that the baby phoenix could have nine feathers!

She never even dreamed of such a great thing.

When she heard Ye Xiao said nine, she was shocked. She felt like her head was stricken by a bolt of lightning. She was lost!

Ye Xiao was still talking. “Well, the kid only has two more. That’s not so unreasonable. Look. The middle one of the nine feathers is the longest. Four more on the right, which are shorter, while four more on the left, which are shorter too… Anyway, that is it. Is it a bad sign? It looks pretty though…” The Golden Phoenix King didn’t hear a word of this because she passed out!

If a normal person was so shocked that he passed out, he must have heard something extremely shocking.

To shock the Golden Phoenix King? Even the Golden Phoenix King passed out because the message was far beyond extremely shocking!

That was unbelievable.

…

After a while, the Golden Phoenix King woke up. She shook her head and tried to make sure she wasn’t dreaming…

‘Did I hear that my daughter has a Returning Saint Crown?’

The Golden Phoenix King was shocked again. She stood up and said, “The Returning Saint Crown… Nine feathers on the crown… The Returning Saint Crown… Nine feathers…”

Her lips started shaking, and she suddenly spoke in a loud voice like shouting, “Ye Xiao, are you still there!?”

The entire palace was shaking because she talked too loud. If the palace wasn’t built with the extremely rare special wood, it would have fallen down immediately!

There was no response to her.

The Golden Phoenix King was shaking. “Ye Xiao… Ye Xiao! Talk to me… Say something…”

She knew that time was up. She just couldn’t give up the chance to talk to Ye Xiao more. She wanted to know more about her baby!

She shouted again, but still got no response.

– Boom! –

She suddenly rushed out through a wall. She actually broke the wall to get out.

“How long have I been in the room?” The Golden Phoenix King grabbed the collar of a maid and asked her.

As she remembered, it had been about half an hour when she got the call from Ye Xiao after she entered the room…

“Your highness…” The maid knelt and said, “You have stayed in the room for the entire afternoon… It is at night now…”

“One afternoon…” The Golden Phoenix King let the maid go, but she was lost again.

As she looked around, the palace was shining wonderfully, but she felt lost… She regretted it…

‘I am a king… Why am I still so useless? How could I just pass out when something so important was happening? What did Ye Xiao say? I didn’t hear him…’

She knew it clearly.

Ye Xiao didn’t know what was going on. Ye Xiao would never cut off the connection. The connection must have stayed to the end until time was up…

Ye Xiao had no idea how important it was, so the Golden Phoenix King was anxious!

What if Ye Xiao thought the baby phoenix was mediocre, so he made the wrong decisions? She couldn’t imagine…

That would be awful!

Ye Xiao was obviously the blood-bond master of the baby phoenix!

A baby beast was fragile. If the baby phoenix felt neglected by the blood-bond master, she would lose confidence, and the lack of confidence would follow her for the rest of her life. That was terrible for the future of the kid’s life!

‘Is my daughter going to have a life that is worse than she deserves because of my mistake?’

‘Holy heavens!’

‘I have only given Ye Xiao one of that jade pendant!’

The Golden Phoenix King was anxious.

‘Damn it! I wanted to send him more of the jade pendants! I just never had time to do it! Nothing is important than my daughter! My daughter is going to be as great as the great phoenix ancestor!’

“Somebody come now!” The Golden Phoenix King shouted.

“Your highness!”

“Send out our men to get as many communication jade pendants as possible! I want them all!” The Golden Phoenix King shouted. “Get me more! I want every single piece of them!”

“Yes!”

“I am going to see the Glaze Sky King now! Tell the twelve guards to get ready!”

“Yes!”

The order of the Golden Phoenix King couldn’t be violated!

Everybody in the phoenix clan strictly followed her order.

The Golden Phoenix King had left for the Glaze Sky Palace fast.

“Golden Phoenix come to see the King!”

Her voice resounded in the sky of the Glaze Sky Palace.

…

On the other side of the Glaze Sky, the Purple Dragon King was in his Purple Dragon Palace!

With a big explosion, the sky over the palace shined in golden lights. A long golden dragon appeared in the sky and headed to the Glaze Sky Palace.

“The purple dragon asks to see the King!”

Purple Dragon King’s voice sounded anxious.

…

Everybody around the Glaze Sky Palace was shocked by the explosion’s sound.

People were looking at the Glaze Sky Palace.

‘What is happening? The dragon and the phoenix came to see the King one year ago…’

‘What is happening now?’

‘Don’t they come too often?’

…

The Purple Dragon King was anxious.

The Purple Dragon King waited for Ye Xiao’s message for as long as the Golden Phoenix King did. One thing was different. The Golden Phoenix King was anxious by herself, but the Purple Dragon King was worried about the Purple Dragon Queen!

When the dragon egg was gone, the Purple Dragon Queen cried in tears. It was difficult for dragons to breed. The Purple Dragon King was the king of the dragons, and that meant it was even more difficult for him to have children. They had worked so hard for many years to finally have a baby…

The Purple Dragon Queen had been taking good care of the dragon egg.

Because of a wrong decision, Chihuo got the chance to steal the egg. They nearly lost the baby. After that, the queen never showed a smile on her face to the Purple Dragon King.

“You can’t even protect your own child. How can you sit there and call yourself the king of dragons? You should be a tortoise king instead!” The queen’s word embarrassed the Purple Dragon King.

Ye Xiao saved the baby, but the baby didn’t return to the queen after all. She kept asking about the baby every day. “How is it? Any news?”

After some days, the Purple Dragon King was almost driven crazy.

The biggest problem was what he did after he returned from Ye Xiao’s place. He was so excited. “Our baby is fine! It’s safe now! There is a place which is perfect for our child to hatch! Four months! We just need to wait for four months! When the good news comes, I will bring you to our baby!”

The queen felt relieved, and she started to treat the Purple Dragon King well again…

It took much longer than four months, didn’t it? Time was up. The Purple Dragon King’s sweet days ended.

“Any news?” That was what he heard every day when he opened his eyes.

“Anything?”

“Have you heard from him or not?”

“Are you lying to me?”

“Talk to me! Have you been lying? You didn’t get our baby back, did you?”

“What place could even be better than our own place? You lied!”

“You are still lying! Are you addicted to telling lies to me?”

“Have we lost our baby?”

“Purple Dragon! Are you having an affair?”

Every day, the Purple Dragon King lived in the queen’s roar. Things got worse and worse. The Golden Phoenix King became weaker, but the Purple Dragon King was struggling to survive the disaster every day!

The Purple Dragon King cursed Ye Xiao every day…

‘Bastard! Why hasn’t he called? It has been a long time…’

Finally, he heard from him.

When Ye Xiao called him, he was in the study room, kneeling down on the floor. The queen was scolding him…

The Purple Dragon King was in danger while the communication jade pendant cracked…

“My savior…”

The Purple Dragon King was so grateful. His eyes were filled with warm tears. He jumped up and got the call.

“Monarch Ye, is my boy out?”

As he said the word, the Purple Dragon Queen immediately stopped the anger in her head. She immediately moved close to the Purple Dragon King.

They were waiting for Ye Xiao’s response.

Ye Xiao told him the situation and asked the Purple Dragon King a few questions. After that, the Purple Dragon King and the Purple Dragon Queen were both shocked…

They were lost!

They couldn’t believe it!

They were astonished!

The baby dragon had golden scales all over his body and horns on his head…

The scales almost covered his entire body!

Ye Xiao didn’t know what it meant, but the Purple Dragon King and the Purple Dragon Queen did!

As they knew, the great ancestor, the first dragon in history, was born exactly like the baby dragon!

The great ancestor used to stand at the peak of the world! It was the Primal Dragon King in the history!

It was a legend!

‘Is my son going to be great?’

The Purple Dragon King was blank. The surprise shocked him hard, and he nearly passed out like the Golden Phoenix King did!

The Purple Dragon Queen was definitely more astonished, but she was better at controlling her emotions. As she realized what happened, she knew how great her son was going to be in the future… She screamed!

The scream of the Purple Dragon Queen nearly scared Ye Xiao to death.

‘What the hell? What is happening… Why is she screaming?’

The Purple Dragon King’s face turned red. In fact, his entire body had turned red. Maybe he should be called the Red Dragon King instead of the Purple Dragon King…

“Purple Dragon King? Purple Dragon King?” Ye Xiao kept talking to him. “Purple Dragon King? Hey? Where are you? Are you there? Are you alive? Come on… Say something… F*ck! Not you too! Damn it… F*ck… What the hell is wrong with you guys… Could at least one of you behave like an adult?”

“Monarch Ye… I am here… I am here…” The Purple Dragon King was back to himself. Well, he wasn’t annoyed by what Ye Xiao said. In fact, he would forgive Ye Xiao for anything Ye Xiao did or would do to him!

“Just tell me what the hell is going on?!” Ye Xiao was angry. “This is so f*cking…”

“Monarch Ye, thank you… Thank you so much… Thank you… You are the savior of our kind…”

The Purple Dragon King heard nothing from the other side.

The communication tunnel was shut. Time was up.

“F*ck!” The Purple Dragon King jumped up. Because he was so excited, he became a dragon immediately! His huge body broke the study room!

“Hello? Say something…” The Purple Dragon Queen looked at her husband and said, “Could anything go wrong to him?”

“I don’t think so… I guess the problem is the jade pendant… I just gave him one…” The Purple Dragon King regretted it. “Time was up…”

The Purple Dragon Queen was furious again. “Why don’t you just die! How could you do that?”

The Purple Dragon Queen’s anger drown the Purple Dragon King. “That is about our son! How could you just give him one jade pendant? I… I won’t forgive you for this! I am going to kill you! Me and the baby, we are never important enough for you! You ungrateful dog! You never keep us in your heart… You pig… Why did I marry you?”

The Purple Dragon King was in a dragon shape at the moment, but the queen was obviously winning it… The Purple Dragon King’s head was almost covered in her saliva… “I have to see the Glaze Sky King… Get ready! We are leaving for our son…”

After that, he dashed out and disappeared.

The Purple Dragon Queen was still angry. “You ungrateful pig…”

As the Purple Dragon King was gone, she calmed down and then started to smile.

“My son… My son is going to be a great legend… I am his mother!” The queen proudly pushed her chest up…

After a while, she panicked. “What should I give the savior as a gift? I have to show him my gratitude… What should I give him? That’s difficult. He is a marvelous doctor… He won’t like anything ordinary…”

“Somebody come over!” The Purple Dragon Queen shouted.

“Go to the treasury. Pick something good. I want the most valuable things! Put them in a space item… Wait. Forget it. I will do it myself. Tell the eighteen dragon guards, and the sky, earth, sun, moon, soil, fire, water, and wind, eight generals, to get ready! We are going together!”

“Yes!”

The guard was confused.

‘What is going on?’

He was scared too…

‘This must be big…’

‘We never give others any of our treasures! We only take treasures back! What happened? Is the queen crazy?’

‘She is the stingiest in the clan…’

‘Why would she give anybody our treasures?’

‘This is unbelievable…’

The guard was confused, but he didn’t know what to say.

…

Ye Xiao was furious!

“This is unacceptable… What the hell is going on? They cut off the line all of a sudden! The Purple Dragon King did tell me something, but not enough! Are they really that busy? F*ck! What kind of parents are they?”

“Are dragons and phoenixes cold-blooded monsters?”

“Unacceptable!”

“Fine. I will keep the babies. They are my son and daughter! They don’t need their parents!”

“You don’t want them? I want them!”

Ye Xiao kicked away a chair. He was furious!

“Bastard!”

“Unforgivable!”
