Chapter 54: Feng Huang’s Determination
Feng Huang took some Human King blood alone and studied it carefully.
From its appearance and smell, the Human King blood and ordinary human blood actually had only two differences. It looked more lustrous, and it had a medicinal fragrance. Besides that, there was no other difference.
The biggest difference was in a place that could not be seen or smelled, for example, that incomparably powerful life force.
The phoenix blood itself had a powerful life force. This was also the reason why the Phoenix Clan’s self-healing ability was the best in the world. And the life force of the Human King blood was even richer, far exceeding that of the phoenix blood.
This discovery made Feng Huang extremely surprised. Was the existence of the Human King Physique a bit too abnormal? If the Phoenix Clan could be called a God Clan, then what was the Human King Physique? A God King?
After Feng Huang had diluted the Human King blood countless times, she found that at this stage, the luster and medicinal fragrance of the blood had almost disappeared, and not much of the powerful life force in the bloodline was left. This was already very similar to an ordinary person’s bloodline…
Feng Huang thought for a moment. This physique was called the Human King Physique. There was probably a reason for it. She didn’t know if she could get a small drop of Human King blood by condensing an ordinary person’s essence and blood countless times.
She thought for a moment and then dismissed her own idea, because this kind of dilution was basically irreversible. The Human King blood could be diluted into an ordinary person’s bloodline, but the possibility of an ordinary person’s bloodline being condensed into Human King blood was too low.
After a more detailed analysis of the Phoenix blood and the Human King blood, Feng Huang came to a concept that subverted her understanding.
These two kinds of blood might not just be from the same source!
After Feng Huang had attained the Dao and become an Emperor, she had collected all the strange blood in the world. As one of the two former God Clans, the Dragon Clan’s blood, she had naturally also obtained it, but it had already been used for research.
At that time, Feng Huang had discovered that the phoenix blood and the dragon’s blood seemed to come from the same source and had many similarities. However, although the Dragon and Phoenix clans were both ancient God Clans, their relationship could only be said to be very ordinary. The Phoenix Clan disliked the Dragon Clan’s promiscuity and rarely had contact with them. And the Dragon Clan was the kind of group that, if you ignored them, they would also be too lazy to pester you.
As for the origin of the two clans, in fact, neither of them had any records of it themselves. After the current cultivation system was created, there was a very long blank period in the entire civilization. Many things were not recorded during this period. The two clans had also appeared at that time.
Now, a very crazy and unbelievable imagination appeared in Feng Huang’s mind.
That was that the Dragon and Phoenix clans both had some extremely special and close connection with the Human King Physique.
It was even possible that the Human King Physique was the reason for the birth of the two clans.
Because the Human King blood and the Phoenix blood were too similar in some places. Their roots were the same. Or rather, the Phoenix blood was just an incomplete Human King blood.
The strength of the Human King Physique, and the potential that could be tapped, greatly exceeded Feng Huang’s imagination.
The earliest known Human King Physique was that peerless expert of the human race who had created the current cultivation system. Could it be that the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan were actually created by a Human King Physique?
There would be no records of these things. Nothing had been left behind in the blank period, so Feng Huang could only deduce it herself.
It was a pity that the current Feng Huang had not returned to the peak of the Great Dao. Otherwise, she could have obtained more things from the Human King blood, which would be beneficial for her judgment.
But the Phoenix blood and the Human King blood could be deeply fused. And after the deep fusion was completed, the Phoenix blood would become even stronger.
Although the Phoenix blood might have come from the Human King blood itself, the fusion of the Human King blood into the Phoenix blood would not cause the Phoenix blood to be tainted with other impurities. It just purely increased the purity and strength of the Phoenix blood.
Feng Huang looked at the Phoenix blood that had already been purified and fell into a brief silence.
This was already an indisputable fact. The things Feng Huang was considering had completely changed.
It was undeniable that Feng Huang disliked Mingyan very much. His various actions were all challenging her limit of tolerance. She had thought more than once of punishing Mingyan in various ways after her strength recovered. But now it seemed that this plan might have to be temporarily or even permanently abandoned.
Because Mingyan could make the already extinct Phoenix Clan reappear in this world.
And this was Feng Huang’s real weak spot.
She was a little dazed. When her lifespan was about to be exhausted, she had once thought that one day, after she had revived through a secret method, whether she could really find hope, find the key to reviving the Phoenix Clan.
At that time, Feng Huang’s heart was very dark. In fact, she herself thought that the chance was slim, and hope was almost non-existent. If that was the case, her revival would only add to her despair. Even if she found some method, she could live on for a long, long time, but she could not revive those deceased clansmen. The Phoenix Clan had long since been reduced to ashes, and only she, Feng Huang, was left alone.
But Feng Huang still used the secret method, because even if there was a glimmer of hope, she should not give up. She could not find hope two million years ago, but there was a voice in her heart that told her that one day in the future, there would be a way.
So, after a long wait, two million years later, Feng Huang had awakened. And Mingyan had also appeared in front of her.
Their personal conflicts were very sharp. To be honest, Feng Huang was very unwilling to cooperate with Mingyan in her heart. But she also had to think… if she missed Mingyan, did she have any other way to revive the Phoenix Clan?
And this, was it possible that this was the only chance in her life?
Personal conflicts, in front of the revival of the Phoenix Clan, were not worth mentioning. Feng Huang looked at that drop of phoenix blood, her eyes gradually becoming firm. A Phoenix God Clan that was stronger than ever before would definitely reappear in the world.
Feng Huang turned around and looked at Mingyan. “I want to make a few agreements with you.”
“Just say it,” Mingyan said.
“First, the matter of the slave mark, you must remove it,” Feng Huang said seriously. “This is the basis of our cooperation. I am not your slave, and the Phoenix Clan will not become someone else’s slave like this. If that is the case, I would rather.. the Phoenix Clan be annihilated.”
In fact, if it weren’t for Mingyan’s prevention, Feng Huang would have committed suicide long ago. The existence of the slave mark made it impossible for her to do so.
In Feng Huang’s heart, this was an extremely humiliating matter and was unbearable.
“I have also said before that a slave mark is not necessary. From the beginning, I had hoped to cooperate with you, not to be your enemy,” Mingyan shook his head. “As long as it is appropriate, I will naturally remove the slave mark to show my determination.”
“Second, as long as the first is completed, I can promise in the name of the Phoenix Clan that the conflicts between us can be treated as if they have not happened,” Feng Huang said calmly. “Neither you nor I can have any more opinions or thoughts on the past conflicts.”
Mingyan nodded. This was what he wanted. He did not want to be Feng Huang’s enemy. After all, Feng Huang was the ancestor of the entire Huang family. And on the other hand, Feng Huang herself was also Huang Feiyan.
“Third…” Feng Huang looked at Mingyan. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she still considered for a while and did not say it out loud.
This body, in Feng Huang’s opinion, was her own. And Huang Feiyan herself was a person who did not exist. She was just the memory of her controlling this body after her body had recovered but her consciousness and memory had not. Feng Huang did not want to hand over her own body.
But the words were on the tip of her tongue, and Feng Huang realized that this was probably what Mingyan cared about the most. Mingyan could not possibly give up on Huang Feiyan. Unless… Feng Huang became Huang Feiyan…
Just as the slave mark was something Feng Huang could not accept, if she did not return this body to a person who, in her long life, could only be considered a small part of her memory, Mingyan would also not let it go.
If it were before, Feng Huang would absolutely not bow her head. If she had, she would not be Feng Huang.
But now, the opportunity to revive the entire Phoenix Clan was right in front of her. Compared to the entire Phoenix Clan, personal pride should indeed give way.
“Third… I hope we can find a win-win solution, and as soon as possible. I know you are not willing to let Huang Feiyan disappear, but after a long time, she will definitely become a part of my memory,” Feng Huang finally took the initiative to show weakness, showing her sincerity.
Hearing these three points, Mingyan’s heart was a little complicated.
Who was Feng Huang? During this time, Mingyan had long been extremely clear.
A proud and stubborn person to the point of giving people a headache. Even Mingyan, before, could only say that he would use the concentric lock to ensure that Feng Huang would not kill him. But now, he had not expected that because of the Human King blood, he had finally reached a cooperation with her.
The bloodline his mother had given him had become Mingyan’s most effective thing.
“If you have no objection, I naturally have no objection either,” Mingyan nodded. “But, a win-win solution is not so easy to find. At least, if you and Feiyan want to separate, then you will definitely need another body, a body that can satisfy you. This point is very difficult to do.”
Cooperation was cooperation, but one could not ignore reality. This was a problem that could not be avoided.
In fact, Mingyan had a solution in his heart. But… it seemed not very good to say it out loud now.
That was the method in the dream.
To let Feng Huang be born as a baby, she would become Mingyan’s and Huang Feiyan’s daughter. And what she would have was also a stronger body and aptitude than Huang Feiyan’s current body.
The Phoenix Clan was born with great strength. There was no need to worry about the problem of strength.
But… after Feng Huang knew, she would probably have some opinions.
In fact, Feng Huang had also considered this possibility. But to become Mingyan’s and Huang Feiyan’s… no, in a sense, her own daughter, this was too strange…
At least, for now, it was not within Feng Huang’s choice.
“There will always be a way,” Feng Huang sighed. She came up and took the initiative to take the flower wreath from Mingyan’s hand. “I hope we can cooperate smoothly. Let’s not mention the past anymore.”
With that, she took the initiative to put on the flower wreath.
