Chapter 60 - Maybe your master can save you

"Phoenix queen, what do you want?" The dragon king of the eastern sea Long Yan asked in an unpleasant tone. If not for the fact that Feng Jiu was Taiyi's disciple and that the dragon king respected Taiyi he would've already chased her out. Feng Jiu did not bother bickering with him. Since she had come to borrow something she had to try and humble herself but even she knew that it was not going to work." I came to introduce my daughter to you," Feng Jiu said as a girl appeared besides her. Tie Ling was already standing behind Feng Jiu so when she heard Feng Jiu introducing her daughter she immediately stepped out. Feng Jiu held her hands and protected her. She made sure that there was always an energy shield surrounding Tie Ling. After coming from the mortal realm a lot of rare herbs and treasures have been used on Tie Ling so as to improve her body constitution. Only with a strong body would she be able to withstand the bloodline of two divine beasts so Feng Jiu had to make sure that her daughter got the best but even them without the spring of nourishment and enlightment her body would still be unable to adapt to the conditions of the heavenly realm and she would be unable to ascend to immortality let alone reach godhood. There was another way and that was if Taiyi was willing to evoke the god ascending tribulation and take it on her behalf as Feng Jiu was still not strong enough to do it as she was not able to bear the wrath of heavens." A mortal?" The dragon king of the east sea asked in contempt. He obviously looked down on mortals but what made the east sea the only place where the spring of nourishment could be found was because it was the gateway between heavens and the mortal realm. In short if a mortal wished to ascend to immortality he would have to pass through the east sea at the same time gods who wished to leave for the mortal realm had to follow the east sea. The east sea has another name in heavens and that is 'the ruler of mortals'. Even though mortals are independent and are not bound by many rules but the east sea could be said to be the reason for that as they were responsible of keeping the mortals safe so that any cultivator who wanted to cause chaos in the mortal realm or any god or demon who sneaked into the mortal realm would be pursued and punished and if they could jot be punished by the east sea then they could be arrested and taken to heavens to receive their punishment. Even the gods had to act by the rules which was why Feng Jiu despite being strong did not want to cause chaos in the east sea." I once heard that you had received a lotus of embodiment and a dao fruit from the heavenly king," Feng Jiu said with a cunning smile on her face. How could the dragon king not understand what she meant. He coldly snorted on the inside as he stared coldly at Feng Jiu." Just as you have said, they are just rumours and nothing much so no need to pay attention to them," the dragon king said with a smile on his face." Then allow my daughter to step into the spring of nourishment," Feng Jiu said with a smile." I am afraid it is inappropriate after all she is a mortal which means that you have broken the rules and should therefore have a decree from the heavenly king," the dragon king said." Long Yan, it seems that I have been too low key of late that even you have forgotten about me,right?" Feng Jiu coldly asked but she stilled reined in on her aura and did not attack but Tie Ling who was holding her hands could feel that if the dragon king provoked her any further then she would not hesitate to attack. She could not help but wonder if her mother had inherited her father's personality. In the mortal realm her father was known for being hot tempered while her mother was always calm but here it seemed to be the opposite." Feng Jiu, do you know that it is a taboo for a god to sleep with a mortal and to make matters worst you even went further to even have a child with a mortal and bring her back to the higher realms. Are you disrespecting the heavenly rules? Do you think that the rules were set for decoration?" Long Yan,the dragon king, said not bothering to hide the contempt in his eyes. This was definitely a chance to accuse the fire realm of a crime that even Taiyi whonwas Feng Jiu's master would be unable to protect her as the laws were made by Taiyi himself. If the gods were allowed to sleep with the mortals then it would cause a great calamity to the heavens so Taiyi made laws that mortals should marry mortals and gods to marry gods. According to the dragon king of the east sea, Feng Jiu had obviously committed a taboo and for this she could finally get punished. The heavenly king might even use this chance to control the fire realm. Just thinking about this made the dragon king excited. The fire realm was said to have many beautiful women and dragon's were known to be lustful and the Long Yan was a perfect example of this as he himself had an harem full of women and most of them were even god favoured daughters." Think carefully before you speak. A loose tongue leads to destruction," Feng Jiu said but she was on the verge of lashing out. The dragon king had annoyed her with his claims and she felt like beating this shameless old dragon. The dragon king did not seem to notice that Feng Jiu was on the verge of fighting him. It seemed that he had forgotten that Feng Jiu was Taiyi's disciple and even Taiyi is not sure if he could beat Feng Jiu because Feng Jiu had already started integrating with her fire phoenix bloodline. By doing this her bloodline was getting purer and she was closer to evolving to an emperor phoenix but that also meant that it was only a matter of time before she went into a period of deep sleep and she might even go through the cycle of reincarnation after this. If she failed in her reincarnation then it only meant that she would die but of successful she would be reborn again but at a price of her losing her cultivation and memories. This was the only way she could catch up to Taiyi and stand by his side so she was definitely willing to do it even if it meant her death." What will you do? If you are willing to leave the girl behind and then go with me to the heavenly realm to beg for mercy from the heavenly king then maybe your master might save you," the dragon king said but what he did not know was that he had now totally angered Feng Jiu. As soon as the words left his mouth all he saw next was a flash before he was sent flying.
