Chapter 507: Demon Phoenix Visits

As he felt the changes in the Parasol Tree Wood Essence, he discovered that the life images within it were getting more and more intense. It was also developing a greater self-awareness. Xiao Yan lifted his head and looked at Lin Feng, “Master, is this Parasol Tree Wood Essence turning into a demon?”
Lin Feng looked at the Parasol Tree Wood Essence curiously and shook his head, “This is only the essence of the Divine Parasol Tree and not the entire Divine Parasol Tree. It was also retrieved from a very powerful Parasol Tree Wood.”
“Through all the cultivation, it had the potential to become a demon, but now, it’s not converting into a demon. Although it also has its own self-awareness, it is a new life rather than a demon. To classify it, it is more of a freakish species, something like Lucky.”
Xiao Yan looked at the Parasol Tree Wood Essence more carefully and mumbled, “This thing seems very powerful.”
“That’s right. Although it is very tender, it’s power concept is not ordinary. Its potential is even greater.” Lin Feng nodded his head and started to laugh suddenly, “Xiao Yan, this is not any different from hatching an egg. You have hatched a very good treasure.”
Xiao Yan could not help but laugh, “Master, if this was an egg, I would have recognized it. It’s just a piece of wood essence, what is there to hatch?”
As the two of them conversed, they watched as the Parasol Tree Wood Essence become dimmer and dimmer, until it became charcoal black.
And in the next moment, the pitch-black Parasol Tree Wood Essence suddenly shot out a bright red light. Within the red light, a human figure appeared.
Lin Feng and Xiao Yan focused on the figure and only saw a female doll that looked like a sculpture. She looked only 2 or 3 years old and her plump hands were on the edges of her lips, with one of her powder-white fingers touching it. Her huge eyes were turning in the eye socket.
As the doll looked at Xiao Yan, her bright eyes became even brighter and revealed a sense of happiness and familiarity. She opened her arms wide and hugged Xiao Yan.
“What a cute doll.” Xiao Yan hugged her back while laughing. But before he could react further, a crisp child voice caused him to stone.
“Father!”
The voice was crisp and clear. There was no hesitation in it, but it was like a thunder roar, causing Xiao Yan to tremble as it sounded. He almost dropped the doll. He stared at the little doll in his arms shockingly.
The two of them stared for a long time at each other. Xiao Yan turned his stiff neck, “You…what did you call me?” His voice was unclear, as if his tongue had tied knots.
The doll was very steady and shouted one more time, “Father!”
Xiao Yan had the impulse to look in the sky from the corner of his eyes. He was speechless and was on the verge of crying.
To him, even if it was an Immortal Soul Stage Elder in front of him, he would not hesitate to rush up and fight him. Even if it was the most dangerous place in this world in front, he would not even blink an eye and would approach it daringly.
But now, Xiao Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He was still young, how could he have been a Father?
After the initial shock, Xiao Yan understood why. Before this Parasol Tree Wood Essence nurtured this little doll, it had always been him cultivating it. He used his own powers and the 3 Primordial Fires to cultivate the Parasol Tree Wood Essence.
After the Parasol Tree Wood Essence developed its own spiritual awareness, it naturally treated Xiao Yan as its parent.
Xiao Yan revealed a ghastly look on his face. He wanted to correct the doll, but he saw her eyes revealing a sense of happiness and closeness and they were shining very brightly.
“Master?” Xiao Yan laughed bitterly as he looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng laughed, “Now, I have finally found out that you are the babysitter in my sect. After Lucky, you have another one on your shoulders now.”
Was he really a Father? Lin Feng thought rather immorally. After that, he saw the little doll hanging on Xiao Yan’s neck like a koala bear. As she looked over with her huge eyes, she was even happier.
“Grandfather!”
In the stone house, there was an immediate silence. Only the echo of the doll’s words was still resonating.
Lin Feng was lucky he did not spit blood out. He was stunned as he looked at the doll.
“I can still remember my youth days…but it’s gone! Have I become a grandfather?”
Lin Feng laughed bitterly in his heart. He looked at Xiao Yan. One of them became a father and the other became a grandfather.
At the heart of it all, it was Lin Feng’s Four Appearances Heaven-Cleaving Script’s power concepts that induced the changes in the Parasol Tree Wood Essence.
Xiao Yan hugged the doll with a bitter look on his face and coaxed her, “Call me Godfather, not father.”
The doll bit her finger and looked at Xiao Yan confusedly. She did not understand why he had become her Godfather suddenly.
Lin Feng wanted to cry too, but he calmed his nerves and asked, “What’s your name?”
“I am called Tong.” The little doll answered. Lin Feng nodded his head.
Lin Feng looked at her and said, “Oh, from today onwards, you are called Xiao Tong.”
The doll nodded her head and answered, “Okay!”
Xiao Yan was shocked and said hurriedly, “Not Xiao Ting…It’s Lin Tong, Lin Tong!”
He turned to look at Lin Feng with a bitter expression. “Master, you must spare me this time. Otherwise, I can’t explain things to Zhener. If she thinks that I have something going on with a Parasol Tree spirit and bore this doll as a result, I can’t explain myself.”
Lin Feng laughed, “No problem. Just say that I picked that name. I will burden this problem for you.”
Xiao Yan heard it and looked at Lin Feng. His expression was tranquil. As he wore a purple robe, he looked pious and had the demeanor of a Master.
“If I say this, Zhener must believe me too.” Xiao Yan laughed bitterly and looked at Lin Feng pitifully. Lin Feng laughed while shaking his head. He stopped joking with Xiao Yan and looked at the doll who was still in Xiao Yan’s arms.
Lin Feng thought, “When she grows up, she will be something.”
The both of them brought the doll to the Heavenly Ray Cosmic World. Lucky was still sleeping, but when Lin Tong got close to her, her snoring ceased and she sat up. She rubbed her eyes in a daze.
Lucky looked at Lin Tong and she stopped looking sleepy. She did not bother anyone normally, but as she looked at Lin Tong, she was surprised and started to babble.
Lin Tong looked at her curiously. Xiao Yan put her on the ground and she ran towards Lucky with her short legs. The two chubby dolls held hands and the intersection of red and yellow light flashed.
Under such a circumstance, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan could both feel that their spiritual energies were displaying signs of growth.
Both dolls smiled brightly. Lin Tong started to babble like Lucky. They could hear what each other were saying and seemed to be having fun.
As Xiao Yan saw this scene, he raved in his heart. “Lin Tong was converted from the Parasol Tree Wood Essence. The Divine Parasol Tree possessed a powerful life essence and contained an intense fire spiritual energy. Lucky loves fire-type spiritual energies. Although the Parasol Tree Wood Essence did not contain any Primordial Fire, the quality of its fire spiritual energy is still high.”
“Lucky came from the Blessed Spiritual Lands, which was the best soil to grow spiritual plants and trees. It can also nourish Lin Tong. Haha, the both of them are complements to each other.”
As Lin Feng looked at the both of them holding hands and playing, he also revealed a smile on his face. “The two of them can be playing partners.”
He turned to look at Xiao Yan and laughed, “In the future, besides Lucky, Lin Tong shall be under your care too.”
Xiao Yan revealed a look of resignation and nodded his head reluctantly, “I knew that you will give such an instruction.”
In the future, besides cultivating and forming elixirs, Xiao Yan had another job, which was to take care of the two kids.
On one day, he had finally gotten both Lin Tong and Lucky off his body, but he was stunned suddenly. He whipped out a Voice-Projecting Crystal and crushed it. From the other side, the voice of Song Fu was heard, “Comrade Xiao?”
After Xiao Yan managed to promote to the Advanced Stage of the Aurous Core Stage and control the Primordial Fires, he stopped his retreat. As Lin Feng’s most senior disciple, he took over Zhu Yi’s burden of connecting with the external world.
Song Fu sounded very polite. Although he was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and Xiao Yan had not formed the Nascent Soul, Song Fu was not in the slightest sense dismissive towards him.
“Comrade Xiao, someone came to me and said that they want to visit Master Lin. Please help me to relay the news.”
After hearing Song Fu’s serious voice, Xiao Yan raised his voice. He did not cut off the communication and went to find Lin Feng directly. After seeing Lin Feng, he asked, “Who is the other party and what is the purpose of visit?”
Song Fu paused for a moment before answering, “They are from the Demon Phoenix tribe in the Barren Expanses. There are two of them here. One has already formed the Undying Demon Soul.”
As he heard till here, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan both lowered their heads to look at Lin Tong.
Anyone with brains knew what their purpose of visit was.
After the Demon Phoenix tribe helped to melt the Millennium Black Ice in the Secret Manual of Kun Peng, they entered the Secret Manual of Kun Peng for the Parasol Tree Wood essence.
But Lin Feng stopped the revival of the Kun Peng and the Kun Peng remains were further divided into two. Black Jade, who went in with Black Feathers, was trapped in the half where Black Feathers’ body was. Whereas the Parasol Tree Wood Essence was taken by Lin Feng.
There was an ancient saying that said that plucking a parasol tree attracts the demon phoenix. Demon Phoenixes were naturally haughty. They would not choose anywhere except for a parasol tree as a habitat. The two parties shared a close relationship
They came here for the Parasol Tree Wood essence. Although they did not know what the other party wanted by taking the item, they were determined to get it back, as evidenced by their venture into the Divine Lands.
Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng and Lin Feng laughed, “Let them in.”
As he said, he formed a crack in space. Purple Clouds transcended space and landed in Shazhou County.
