Sailing the South Sea
"So Beixuan is Fellow Qiankun's disciple, then that's not surprising."
The ancestor of the Phoenix Clan said calmly.
"You also know my master, senior?"
Ye Beixuan asked with some surprise, after all, although his master was famous in the Profound Continent, Profound Continent was Wanli away from the Desolate Continent, and there was Endless Sea in between, so it was not easy for news to reach here.
"Of course I've heard of it."
The patriarch of the Phoenix Clan smiled and said, "Back when the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion released the Half-Saint Rankings, your master's feat of defeating two Saints caused quite a stir throughout the world, and I have heard a little about it."
Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "Ancestor, you flatter me."
"Alright, this trial is now over. Everyone, please return to Divine Phoenix Valley."
With the Phoenix Clan's patriarch's words, the trial came to an end.
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"
On his way back to Divine Phoenix Valley, Ye Beixuan became the focus of everyone's discussion, with all the Phoenix descendants talking about him.
Even the Thunderbird, Great Wind, and Blue Phoenix races are no exception.
Lei Xiao's remnant soul asked, "Ancestor, are we really going to let this go like this?"
"Forget it, what else can we do? Do you want my Thunderbird Clan to be enemies with a being who has defeated a Saint?"
Although Great Sage Jinglei felt helpless, he could only swallow this bitter pill.
The other two families discussed similar points to the Thunderbird Clan: while a prodigy is valuable, it would be unwise to create a powerful enemy for the sake of such a person.
One hour later.
Ye Beixuan followed the main group to the Feng Lineage's courtyard in Divine Phoenix Valley.
The Feng Lineage Patriarch said with a smile, "Beixuan, you have truly brought great honor to our Fire Phoenix Valley in the Profound Continent this time. Today, I will certainly hold a grand celebration for you."
Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "Ancestor, you flatter me. I only did what I was supposed to do."
"Well..."
The patriarch of the Feng Lineage said, "Don't refuse. I also have something I want to discuss with you."
"Please speak, Ancestor."
Ye Beixuan remained respectful, showing no arrogance or disrespect despite winning first place in the trial.
Looking at the composed Ye Beixuan, the patriarch of the Feng Lineage thought to himself: Why isn't this kid the direct descendant of the Feng Lineage? Otherwise, if we handed over Fire Phoenix Valley to him in the future, wouldn't their Fire Phoenix Valley in the Profound Continent become a top-tier power?
"Here's the thing, there are three spots in this trial competition that will allow you to enter the Land of Nirvana. You earned these spots, and I'd like to ask how you plan to allocate them?"
Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "This humble one dares to ask for one spot; the remaining two are entirely up to the Ancestor."
hiss...
Everyone present gasped in surprise upon hearing this; no one had expected Ye Beixuan to be so nonchalant.
At the same time, everyone cast expectant glances at the Feng Lineage Ancestor. After all, entering the Land of Nirvana for Nirvana could purify their bloodline, and they might even awaken the Phoenix Bloodline, making them a potential Great Sage in the future.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The Feng Lineage patriarch had already planned to give Ye Beixuan some rewards in exchange for the last spot he had in the Land of Nirvana.
After all, the young couple both need this spot.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Beixuan was so sensible. Since that's the case, the Feng Lineage can't be unreasonable. They still have to give the reward they deserve, otherwise who will be willing to work for the Feng Lineage in the future?
"In that case, the last spot will be decided by us. You just need to prepare to enter the Land of Nirvana for cultivation in seven days."
"Promise."
Everyone responded excitedly.
The banquet began shortly afterward, and the atmosphere was lively and cheerful, with everyone beaming with joy.
Meanwhile, in the Profound Continent.
On the vast South China Sea, a treasure ship sailed through the waves towards Yunluo Island in the southeast.
At the bow of the boat, Chu Feng was quietly fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.
Qin Qin sat beside him, playing the zither as if no one else was around.
Aside from a few sailors, the only people on this treasure ship were the people from Miaomiao Mountain.
A few days ago, after they left the Qingqiu, they chartered this large ship. At first, the captain was unwilling to go to Yunluo Island, saying that there were sea monsters causing trouble in the South Sea recently.
In the end, it was Qin Qin who unleashed the pressure of the Dao Integration Realm that convinced the boat captain to take everyone to Yunluo Island.
Bai Qian and Chen Qianqian, the two little girls, were perched on the railing, quietly watching the sea.
"Senior sister, we've been out for three or four days now, why haven't we seen any sea monsters causing trouble? Could it be that the sea monsters are frightened by the pressure emanating from us?"
Chen Qianqian shook her head. "I don't know either, but logically speaking, those sea monsters shouldn't know our identities."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Wanli cloudless sky suddenly became overcast, and the calm sea turned into a turbulent sea.
"There's Yao Qi!"
Chen Qianqian shouted excitedly upon seeing this.
Bai Qian, standing to the side, smiled and said, "Senior Sister, we can finally show off our skills!"
"That's right, let's tell our master first and ask him not to make a move."
After saying that, Chen Qianqian ran towards Chu Feng: "Master, let us handle this demon."
"It's too late."
Chu Feng said calmly, "The fish has taken the bait."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reeled in his fishing rod and with a splash, an octopus flew out of the sea—it was even larger than the treasure ship that Chu Feng and his group were on.
Seeing this, Chu Feng casually pointed and said, "Little..."
As the words were spoken, the octopus, which was originally as big as a small mountain, instantly shrank to the size of a regular basketball and landed on the deck.
The previously overcast sky was Wanli clear and sunny.
Bang!
As soon as the octopus landed on the deck, it cried out, "Great Sage Qiankun and Earth, spare my life! Great Sage Qiankun, spare my life!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing that this little Spirit Nurturing Octopus actually knew his name, Chu Feng smiled slightly and asked, "Since you know my identity, why are you still causing trouble here? Do you know that I want to eat takoyaki?"
"No, no, no."
The octopus quickly said, "It's a misunderstanding, Your Great Sage. This is a misunderstanding. I was only ordered to stir up trouble in this area to prevent some juniors from causing trouble on Yunluo Island."
"Whose orders are you acting on, and how do you know my identity?"
Chu Feng asked unhurriedly.
"Reporting to Your Great Sage, I am acting on the orders of the Dragon King of the South Sea. As for your true appearance, I once saw it in the underwater palace of General Hei Yan of the East Sea. Back then, you suppressed him single-handedly..."
The octopus spilled out all the information it knew, like beans pouring out.
After listening, Chu Feng laughed and said, "It seems that the Peacock Princess of Yunluo Island's search for a husband is quite a spectacle. Since we are destined to meet, I will let you off the hook today. However, my fish cannot go to waste; you must compensate me."
