The tenth elder

"This is...?"

"Indeed, it is my son Feng Lie!"

Feng Jiu's gaze towards the flames was filled with love, yet also contained pride.

After Xingtian left, Feng Jiu immediately brought Feng Lie into this space.

With the help of Phoenix Ancestor, Feng Lie directly threw himself into the Eternal Flame and began his rebirth.

As long as one is reborn from the ashes, one will directly advance to the Supreme Powerhouse.

At that time, Phoenix Ancestor, Feng Jiu, and Feng Lie be there.

Three generations of a family, one sage and two Supreme Powerhouse.

They are unique among both Human Clan and Demon Race.

How is Lie'er doing?

Before they knew it, Phoenix Ancestor appeared behind them.

Upon hearing the voice, Feng Jiu quickly responded:

"Father, Lie'er is doing very well! The fusion with the Eternal Flame is also progressing smoothly!"

"Um!"

The pale-faced Phoenix Ancestor nodded.

Then he looked at Xingtian beside Feng Jiu.

"Xingtian!"

"Phoenix Ancestor!"

Upon hearing Phoenix Ancestor's call, Xingtian quickly bowed and responded.

"Lie'er's matter is basically resolved. Now it's your turn! You've done a great job retrieving the Eternal Flame! I will certainly keep my promise!"

Having said that, Phoenix Ancestor slowly spread her arms in front of Xingtian.

A drop of multicolored liquid is suspended in the palm of your hand.

The intense Sage's Will emanating from it made Xingtian feel as if he were facing not a drop of liquid, but a vast ocean of stars!

This shows just how terrifying the power of the Great Sage's Essence Blood is!

Although Xingtian coveted that drop of Great Sage's Essence Blood, he dared not move a muscle.

He just stared intently at Phoenix Ancestor's palm.

Phoenix Ancestor then looked at Xingtian and continued:

"Interesting! Heavenly Dog bloodline! Taotie bloodline! Three-Legged Golden Crow bloodline! Huh? This Three-Legged Golden Crow bloodline has actually mutated? Interesting? Hmm? And there's a small amount of the Human Clan bloodline too!"

As Phoenix Ancestor revealed the bloodlines within Xingtian one by one, Xingtian felt extremely uneasy.

Especially when Phoenix Ancestor mentioned Human Clan bloodline.

Xingtian felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Faced with the Great Sage, there was nothing he could do but wait.

Fortunately, Phoenix Ancestor's tone remained calm throughout.

"Peak Eighth-Level Immortal Emperor? He actually comprehended the Principle of Fire! Interesting, extremely interesting!"

Just then, Phoenix Ancestor gently pushed out the hand that held the Great Sage's Essence Blood, and the Great Sage's Essence Blood floated directly to Xingtian.

"Thank Phoenix Ancestor!"

Upon hearing Xingtian's words, Phoenix Ancestor waved his hand and said:

"You're welcome, you deserve it!"

Then she turned to look at Feng Jiu beside her.

"My Phoenix Clan is already small in number! Although Xingtian has a mixed bloodline, once he absorbs my Essence Blood, he can barely be considered a Phoenix Clan!"

So, as the current patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, what do you have to say?

Seeing that her father had already said so much, Feng Jiu understood what he meant.

He nodded hurriedly while looking at Xingtian:

"Xingtian! From this day forward, you shall be the tenth elder of my Phoenix Clan!"

Once you have absorbed all of the Great Sage's Essence Blood, I will announce the news to the entire clan!

Having been among the Demon Race for so long, how could Xingtian not know what kind of existence the tenth elder of the Phoenix Clan was?

As is widely known, the Phoenix Clan is now sparsely populated.

The personnel structure is also very simple.

There are only nine top-level managers within the clan.

They were Feng Jiu, the clan leader, and eight other clan elders.

Although they are few in number, no one in the entire universe dares to underestimate the Phoenix Clan.

Because all nine of them were Supreme Powerhouse.

In other words, among the less than one thousand people in the Phoenix Clan, there are actually nine Supreme Powerhouse.

This ratio is unique among any race.

However, Xingtian still felt something was off about Feng Jiu's words.

Even though the Phoenix Clan only has eight elders, why did Feng Jiu make herself the tenth elder?

Who is the ninth?

A hidden powerhouse of the Phoenix Clan?

However, as Xingtian turned his gaze to the ball of flame, he immediately understood.

It seems that the position of Ninth Elder was reserved for Feng Lie.

"Alright, it's decided then! Jiu'er, you go first! Xingtian, you stay here and absorb the Essence Blood, I'll protect you!"

Upon hearing Phoenix Ancestor speak, Xingtian quickly nodded and sat down cross-legged, beginning to circulate the Demon Power within his body in an attempt to bring himself to peak condition.

Of course, Xingtian had another matter to attend to, which was to contact the Original Self.

Devouring the Great Sage's Essence Blood is a very important matter!

Xingtian believed that the Original Self would be very willing to be this bystander.

Unfortunately, despite his calls, the Original Self did not respond.

Instead, the Good Corpse spoke.

"Alright! Alright! Stop yelling! That guy's been acting crazy lately, he won't pay any attention to you!"

"Hmm? What's Original Self?"

"What else could it be? He's been staring blankly at the weapon hilt in the High Antiquity Artifact Sect chamber all day long, I wonder what he's thinking!"

Upon hearing this, Xingtian immediately became anxious.

Are you kidding me?

Merging with the Great Sage's Essence Blood is a rare opportunity to understand the Great Sage.

The opportunity is right in front of me, and Original Self 'm still staring blankly at a weapon hilt?

Thinking of this, Xingtian's tone became somewhat impatient.

"Hmph, I don't care what method you use, wake him up immediately! This is the Great Sage 'Essence Blood! Does he even understand what this means?"

The Good Corpse naturally understood this principle, but instead of following Xingtian's instructions, it responded with a hint of helplessness:

"Original Self already instructed you not to disturb him no matter what happens, including your absorption of the Great Sage's Essence Blood!"

"Can..."

"Alright, enough with the 'buts,' just start absorbing it! Original Self think I already took this into account when I was modifying your body!"

Hearing what the Good Corpse said, Xingtian stopped worrying.

He began to focus all his attention on circulating his Demon Power.

What he didn't know was that just as he closed his eyes to communicate with the Good Corpse...

Not far away, Phoenix Ancestor opened her eyes and stared intently at Xingtian.

Until his call with the Good Corpse ended.

"Was it just my imagination? Why did it feel like Xingtian was transmitting his voice to me just now?"

That's right, Phoenix Ancestor did not perceive the connection between Xingtian Good Corpse.

He just had a feeling, like a sixth sense.

In his observation, Xingtian was clearly there preparing to devour the Essence Blood, yet he also had the illusion that Xing Tian was transmitting his voice.

That's really strange!

In the end, without any evidence, Phoenix Ancestor could only shake her head and close her eyes again.

Xingtian, while adjusting his own condition, informed Good Corpse of what had happened on the Human-Demon Battlefield and demons.

Although Shi Zhenghao must have also relayed the message to the Original Self.

But Xingtian repeated it again before he felt much more at ease.

After all, the defilement of the Echo of Life will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the future situation of both races.

If the main Original Self has any plans, they can adjust them in a timely manner based on the dynamics of the two races.
