Chapter 1266: Chapter 452: Primary and Secondary Primordial Spirit

“Kong Xuan?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi lay in the newly renovated hot spring pool within Xuanyuan Palace, a cloth draped over his body, and a handkerchief covering his face, enjoying a leisurely respite.

Upon hearing the reports from his trusted aides, Xuanyuan Huangdi’s leisure quickly disappeared.

“He went to the Heavenly Court? And turned into a Female Immortal?”

“Yes,” the trusted aide beside him couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s said not only did Kong Xuan transform into a Female Immortal, but she also took the initiative to show goodwill towards the Heavenly Emperor.”

“Oh? How strange.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi sat up, the handkerchief on his face falling away, revealing a face full of bewilderment.

“Speaking of our Heavenly Emperor, his handsome demeanor doesn’t match even half of mine, how does he attract such fondness from female Great Powers? Kong Xuan’s nature is proud; for her to have amorous intentions is impossible!”

“Any news from the Heavenly Court?”

The trusted aide whispered, “According to the Roc Bird, the Heavenly Emperor is now the Phoenix Clan’s only hope for procreation, and Kong Xuan is acting under the Primordial Phoenix’s command.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi leaned back.

Primordial Phoenix? The only hope for procreation?

Xuanyuan Huangdi frowned and said, “What is the meaning of this? The Heavenly Emperor is from the Human Race; his future offspring will also be our human offspring. How can the Phoenix Clan interfere?”

The trusted aide asked, “Your Majesty, will the Human Race apply pressure on the Heavenly Court?”

“Why apply pressure? I’ve retired.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi slightly pouted:

“Keep investigating, immediately report any news, and have someone closely monitor Kong Xuan.

“The Dragon Clan hasn’t stirred yet, but the Phoenix Clan has made a move… Is Ping’an so masculine?

“This isn’t right.”

The trusted aides bowed their heads, not daring to speak.

Xuanyuan Huangdi stroked his chin and laughed:

“The Dragon Clan must be panicking now, hahaha! Kong Xuan suddenly went to the Heavenly Court as a Marshal, and is trying to become the Heavenly Emperor’s Dao companion, ingenious!

“Someone, forget it, I’ll directly send a Jade Talisman to Brother Yinglong.”

“Yes!”

The trusted aides rushed out to carry out their orders.

Xuanyuan Huangdi’s speculation wasn’t wrong; at this moment, in the East Sea’s Dragon Palace, the gathering of dragons felt somewhat tense.

…

East Sea’s Dragon Palace.

The East Sea Dragon King, a high-ranking deity of the water system from the Heavenly Court, Ao Guang, sat on the Dragon King throne, frowning in thought. His long dragon whiskers wafted smoothly in the coral-reflected treasure light.

Dragon Kings from the West Sea, North Sea, and Southern Sea were pacing back and forth.

Standing below, the Dragon Generals each wore expressions of worry, deeply pondering their plight.

“The Phoenix Clan hasn’t given up on their desire to annihilate Our Dragon Clan!”

“We’ve just barely started to enjoy prosperity, and when procreation seems within reach, the Phoenix Clan intervenes at this moment!”

“Humph! I’ll go fight that peacock!”

“Silence!”

Ao Guang said this in a stern tone, and the gathering of dragons fell silent quickly.

The West Sea Dragon King asked, “Among our Dragon Clan, can’t we find a single pure Dragon Maiden, strong and unmarried?”

All the dragons bowed their heads.

“Unmarried” was only a respectable phrase.

In all those years, their Dragon Clan hadn’t been able to hatch eggs; where were pure Dragon Maidens supposed to come from?

An elderly dragon lady whispered, “The Heavenly Emperor might not necessarily mind such matters, right?”

A group of dragons stared at her.

The old lady quickly lowered her head, “I guess he would mind. The Heavenly Emperor is the supreme ruler of the Three Realms; his harem should naturally be composed of pure candidates.”

The North Sea Dragon King said, “We have over thirty dragon eggs that can hatch within a hundred years, including eighteen Dragon Maidens… But now the peacock has proactively arrived at the Heavenly Court, her power is exceptional, her Dao Body refined, and the Heavenly Emperor needs this kind of force to subdue us… We’re too late to contest with her.”

“Didn’t we already send a dragon egg to the Heavenly Court? That Dragon Maiden will be born soon, right?”

“No chance. The Heavenly Emperor has declared he’s accepting disciples.”

“The Heavenly Emperor prefers more mature women. Think of the Queen Mother.”

The dragon lady turned, transforming into a voluptuous Dragon Maiden, her charming face paired with two jade-like dragon horns, offering a semblance of allure.

The dragons:…

“Enough,” East Sea Dragon King frowned, “Don’t lose your heads. Our Dragon Clan’s contributions to the Heavenly Court far exceed those of the Phoenix Clan, and it won’t be easy for them to surpass us.”

“Brother!”

The North Sea Dragon King said:

“This matter must not be overlooked!

“The Hundred Clans in the world are watching us, and if Our Dragon Clan gets beneath the Phoenix Clan, even if it’s merely having a lower seat at banquets, it’ll be laughed at by those weaklings.”

“The Phoenix Clan is already barely hanging on! We were supposed to be the ancient victors!”

Ao Guang pondered aloud: “Don’t be hasty, let’s send more gifts everywhere, make connections. If the Phoenix Clan’s peacock acts ambiguously with the Heavenly Emperor, we’ll both ascend to the heavens and cry our woes before the Heavenly Emperor’s carriage.”

Yinglong’s voice sounded from outside the hall:

“There’s no need to worry, I’ve already gleaned clear information from the Human Race!

“The peacock goes to find the Heavenly Emperor to propagate the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline at the Primordial Phoenix’s bidding, and the Heavenly Emperor is avoiding her.”

Yinglong flashed into the hall, all dragons besides the Four Seas Dragon Kings bowed in respect.

Ao Guang asked, “Is the information confirmed?”

“The news from Xuanyuan Palace is reliable,” Yinglong laughed, “Previously the Heavenly Emperor aided the Phoenix Clan; it seems he got some benefits left by the Primordial Phoenix, but such matters are the Heavenly Emperor’s secret; none dare to inquire.”

“Primordial Phoenix…”

Many old dragons showed a look of caution mixed with fear they couldn’t dispel.

Yinglong said, “Instead of pleading with the Heavenly Emperor, how about we immediately send the Four Seas Dragon Mothers with gifts to visit the Queen Mother at the Jade Pool.”

The Four Seas Dragon Kings exchanged glances, mostly smiling.

Yinglong continued:

“Later I will send a letter stating that the situation in the world is now determined, any changes beside the Heavenly Emperor will have profound impacts, requesting the Heavenly Emperor to consider carefully.”
