Chapter 604: 112, Baili Fengzhi_2

Baili Fengzhi took a deep breath and took the dark red crystal stone.

Once her Divine Thought recognized it, she immediately understood how to truly and deeply bond with this Semi-Divine Artifact.

Mastering seven types of flames was all it took.

Baili Fengzhi held the crystal stone in one hand, felt the strange Dao Rhythms of seven flames within, and began trying to master them.

Having already refined a complete Fire Phoenix Soul and formed two embryonic Heavenly Reversal Paths related to fire, her understanding of flames was naturally profound.

Moreover, the most crucial aspect of this Semi-Divine Artifact was compatibility, rather than comprehension.

As long as her compatibility with the seven types of flames was high enough, she could use this Semi-Divine Artifact to master them, thereby creating various formidable fires.

In no time—

"Boom!"

Flames of various colors suddenly rose from Baili Fengzhi’s body, burning fiercely and exuding terrifying power.

Yan Yue Shenjun counted eagerly, revealing a look of surprise, "Indeed, seven types! Seven-colored Fire!"

Before coming, she had guessed that Baili Fengzhi likely had this talent. Being the daughter of hers and the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan, with Tianxia Building’s Eighth Layer strength, her talent was beyond extraordinary.

Now it seemed she was indeed successful!

"Seven-colored Fire..."

Duanmu Yan also exclaimed in amazement, "It seems the Fire Phoenix Clan’s fortune isn’t over. None of the geniuses of the entire Fire Phoenix Clan could truly master the Seven-colored Fire of this Semi-Divine Artifact, yet a half-demon lost among the Human Clan possesses such an astonishing talent?"

"Duanmu Yan, can you hand over the Ancestor Source Blood to Fengzhi now?"

Yan Yue Shenjun suggested, "One who can master the Seven-colored Fire of a Semi-Divine Artifact might possibly gain recognition from the Inheritance Divine Artifact Nine-colored Fire. With the Nine-colored Fire, she can also have better hope to prove her path in the future and is qualified to obtain the Ancestor Source Blood, don’t you think?"

"Of course." Duanmu Yan handed the Glazed Glass Cup containing the flame-red liquid to Baili Fengzhi, saying, "You are a half-demon, so demonization becomes much simpler. The Demonization Cultivation Method combined with this drop of Ancestor Source Blood will easily transform you into a noble Demon Clan with Phoenix Ancestor Bloodline."

He looked at Baili Fengzhi with satisfaction, "Once this matter concludes, we will leave. It’s best to begin now."

One less genius for the Human Clan, one more exceptional junior for the Demon Clan, was something he was naturally inclined to see happen.

Besides, Baili Fengzhi was now being guided by dreams at the level of a Demon God; turning her into the Demon Clan now was the optimal choice.

Once she became a demon, there would be no going back.

Even a powerful figure like the Main Hall Master dared not attempt the transformation after becoming a demon.

"I heard... after turning into a Demon Clan, there might be a desire to absorb human Essence Qi?"

Baili Fengzhi gazed at the Glazed Glass Cup in her hand and spoke softly, "Your Highness and mother are still human now. After I undergo demonization, will I harm them?"

"Rest assured," Duanmu Yan said, "It’s simply an appetite, not difficult to resist."

The real distinction between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan lay in the influence of Eternal Night, which was genuinely fatal.

Powerful as each Demon Ancestor was, they had been significant figures of the Human Clan prior to their transformation. Their care and regard for humans need not be elaborated, but once they became demons, both body and mind altered completely, turning against the Human Clan as a matter of course.

"Your Highness."

Baili Fengzhi held the Glazed Glass Cup and looked up at Lin Yue.

Even though she had awakened, there was a brief moment when she truly wished His Highness could also become part of the Demon Clan.

Once part of the Demon Clan, not only could they distance themselves from the perilous land of Great Yong, but it was also the only way to spend time with her mother.

But—

When she looked into His Highness’s eyes, she understood...

His Highness would never agree.

Even if she forced His Highness to become a demon, once he was part of the Demon Clan, he could only adapt, but the forcing would also result in a warped mind...

Yet things had come to this point; it was a situation she had shaped with her own hands, and she found herself a stranger for following her mother’s advice. What other method could there be?

—There was no other way.

"By the way, you haven’t learned the Demonization Cultivation Method yet, have you?"

Duanmu Yan suddenly realized and immediately transmitted a Demonization Cultivation Method to Baili Fengzhi through Divine Thought, saying, "Hurry up, once you accomplish demonization, I’ll persuade His Highness for demonization."

The sequence of choice had deeper significance.

At this moment, Baili Fengzhi, being guided by the dream of the Demon God, would not resist demonization. Once she succeeded in demonization, she would naturally hope for His Highness, whom she followed, to demonize as well.

And this Your Highness clearly had feelings for Baili Fengzhi; seeing Baili Fengzhi’s demonization might dull his will to resist.

"Child, start now."

Yan Yue Shenjun gently caressed Baili Fengzhi’s cheek and spoke softly, "Your father and the Fire Phoenix Clan need you."

Baili Fengzhi took a deep breath, lightly opened the Glazed Glass Cup’s lid, paused, and softly asked, "Mother, can your love for father transcend the conflict between the Human and Demon Clans?"

"...I can."

Yan Yue Shenjun said slowly, "But your father cannot. He is the Young Clan Chief of the Fire Phoenix Clan. His wife must possess the bloodline of a Demon God-level Fire Phoenix Clan for him to truly have affection for her."

"So that means... father agreed to have me with you back then not out of love?" Baili Fengzhi lowered her head and said.

Yan Yue Shenjun sighed and replied, "There’s no way around it, the natural chasm between the Human and Demon Clans cannot be bridged."

She looked at Baili Fengzhi and softly said, "For this reason, you should inherit the bloodline of the Phoenix Ancestor, cultivate diligently to become the new Demon God of the Fire Phoenix Clan, and one day help mother possess the bloodline of a Demon God-level Fire Phoenix Clan. Only then can we, as a family of three, have a real chance of being reunited."
