"What's she waiting for?" Mo Tiange sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, meditating with her eyes closed.
She didn't understand Fairy Fengqing's temperament, but she knew the thoughts of Nascent Soul cultivators.
Although they had a lifespan of a thousand years, they yearned for immortality and didn't want to waste any time.
Fairy Fengqing had led them in a big circle, so she must've probed enough. She must have a purpose for staying here.
Was she waiting for someone?
That shouldn't be the case. They were in the depths of the Eastern Sea, and the great war between humans and demons was still going on. Who would come to the depths of the Eastern Sea to meet her?
Or was it a demonic cultivator?
Or was she waiting for a fated chance?
Outside the cultivation room, Little Feng's voice came.
Xiaohuo and Xiaofan were playing. These two guys didn't know what to do and sometimes destroyed the bamboo forest or the medicinal field. Now that Little Feng was here, Little Feng would shout at them to stop.
Among her three spiritual beasts, Xiaohuo was naughty, Xiaofan was naive, and Feifei was arrogant. None of them could take care of the Virtual Sky World for her, so Little Feng's appearance filled this gap.
Little Feng was steady, polite, and strong. Whether it was Xiaohuo or Xiaofan, they were all obedient to her. She was indeed the best choice to be the housekeeper.
However, she didn't know who would subdue whom when Feifei came back.
After thinking for a while, she shook her head and stood up to call Little Feng. "I'll leave this place to you."
Little Feng's double pupils flashed with red light. "Madam, are you going out?"
"Yes."
Little Feng bowed and said, "Madam, I'll go with you.
This is the Eastern Sea, where demonic cultivators run amok. I'll talk to them if I encounter them. "
Mo Tiange thought Little Feng's words were reasonable, so she said, "Okay."
After leaving the Virtual Sky World, Qin Xi was adjusting his breath in the Ten Thousand Miles Lone Boat. He opened his eyes when he sensed their breaths.
"How is it?" Mo Tiange asked while casting a spell to peep at Fairy Fengqing.
Qin Xi said, "Still nothing."
There was a breath-concealing formation set up in the cottage, so they could only sense Fairy Fengqing's breath. It was calm and stable, so she should be meditating.
"I don't think she's studying clues.
If they were researching clues, they should've been hiding near Bixuan Court. If they hid here, it'd be troublesome if they attracted beast cultivators.
Besides, it's been a while since she left Bixuan Court. She only found this place now, so she should've finished studying it by now. "
"What you said makes sense." Qin Xi nodded.
Mo Tiange continued to say, "She found this place after some time and stayed here for almost ten days. She still didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, so she must've been waiting for something."
"You're right," Qin Xi said while contemplating, "There are only three things we need to wait for — a person, an object, or something."
Mo Tiange answered, "Exactly.
These were the three things she was waiting for.
Whether it's a human or a demonic cultivator, something appears, or something happens. "
Qin Xi nodded then shook his head. "Unfortunately, we're not familiar with this place. Otherwise, we'd be able to analyze some information."
"Yes." Mo Tiange shrugged. "We still have no choice but to wait."
The two of them were silent for a moment. Suddenly, a voice came from behind, "Master, Madam, why don't we let Xiaofeng test it out?"
The two of them turned around and saw Xiaofeng wearing a smile on her face. She looked quite confident, so Qin Xi asked, "How are we going to test her?"
Xiaofeng said, "I'll pretend to be a demonic cultivator from the Eastern Sea and talk to her."
Mo Tiange's eyes brightened. "Yes, why didn't I think of that?" She then frowned and asked, "She saw you when you were going through your tribulation. Will she recognize you?"
Xiaofeng was full of confidence. "No. My aura is very different after I go through my tribulation. If I don't show my true form, she won't recognize me."
Qin Xi agreed. "That's a good idea."
"Then Xiaofeng will go?"
Qin Xi nodded. "You have to be careful. Fairy Fengqing has advanced to the Nascent Soul realm for hundreds of years. You're not her match."
"Yes, Xiaofeng understands."
Xiaofeng quietly got off the Ten Thousand Miles Lone Boat and flew thousands of miles away before she showed her figure and flew towards this place.
The powerful aura of an eighth rank demonic cultivator appeared. Fairy Fengqing, who was in the thatched cottage, finally couldn't sit still. The curtain was lifted, and she looked to the east with a worried expression.
Before long, Xiaofeng rode a red cloud and floated to this small island. She stared at Fairy Fengqing fiercely. "Who are you?
Why did you come to the Eastern Sea? "
One was in the eighth rank, and the other was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Their strength was about the same, but this was the Eastern Sea. As a demonic cultivator, Xiaofeng could be a bit stronger.
Fairy Fengqing sighed inwardly when she saw that Xiaofeng easily discovered her existence.
Her Breath-Concealing Technique wasn't very good. She could deal with low-rank demonic beasts, but it was hard to hide from demonic cultivators above the eighth rank.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Fairy Fengqing's mind. In the end, she cupped her hands and politely said, "Fellow Daoist, I'm a cultivator from Kunwu. My Daoist name is Miaoyi. I came to the Eastern Sea to look for fated chances."
Xiaofeng was slightly stunned, then she looked angry. "Come here to look for fated chances?
Do you want to kill demonic cultivators in the Eastern Sea?! "
Fairy Fengqing said faintly, "The human race and the demon race have always been enemies. Now is the time of war, so why should I take the risk to come here to kill demonic cultivators?"
"That's hard to say."
Xiaofeng sneered. "Maybe you never thought you'd run into demonic cultivators here. After all, this place isn't the deepest part of the Eastern Sea."
Fairy Fengqing's eyes flashed and she said, "You're looking for trouble on purpose, aren't you?
You can ask the sea clans nearby whether I killed demonic cultivators or not, but you're presumptuously guessing my thoughts and trying to pin a crime on me. "
"So what if I did?"
Hostility appeared on Xiaofeng's face. A gorgeous fiery-red feather appeared in her palm. With a flick of her finger, the feather suddenly grew bigger and floated in the air. "The human race and the demon race have always been enemies. Even if you didn't go deep into the Eastern Sea to kill demonic cultivators, you went there to look for treasures.
The Eastern Sea is the territory of us demonic cultivators. How can you come and go so easily? "
After a demonic cultivator transformed, he would refine a part of his body into a magic weapon, which was equivalent to a cultivator's natal magic weapon. Xiaofeng's natal magic weapon was its feather.
This feather gathered all the Vermillion Bird's breath on its body and was tempered by heavenly thunder, so its power was extraordinary.
Fairy Fengqing's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect this demonic cultivator to fight without any hesitation.
She wasn't afraid of fighting with it, but its magic weapon didn't look weak. If they fought, it might attract more powerful demonic cultivators … After pondering for a while, she cupped her hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, you're too impatient. We're not low-level cultivators. What's the point of fighting?"
Xiaofeng remained calm and collected. "What are you trying to say?"
Fairy Fengqing said, "Humans and demons are different, but fated chances aren't."
Xiaofeng looked at her suspiciously. "Are you still willing to give up your fated chance?"
Fairy Fengqing said, "Of course not. The fated chance of human cultivators might not be useful to demonic cultivators.
However, I can tell you something. For demonic cultivators, it's also a fated chance. "
Xiaofeng sneered. "I don't dare to believe a human cultivator's words."
Then, she waved her hand, and the tail feather floating in the air shone brightly. It was wrapped in a ball of flame, and it stabbed toward Fairy Fengqing.
Fairy Fengqing was shocked.
With her Nascent Soul cultivation, she wasn't afraid of Xiaofeng. She was shocked by the aura emitted by Xiaofeng's natal magic weapon.
This phoenix feather was condensed with the pure breath of the Vermilion Bird.
After the Heavenly Tribulation, Xiaofeng told them that the reason why there was a tenth tribulation for its transformation was that its bloodline had changed.
The Bright Bird was originally a descendant of the Phoenix, and it was of the same race as the Vermilion Bird. However, after breeding for so long, the bloodline of the Phoenix had become very faint. When it transformed, the breath of the Vermilion Bird purified its bloodline, making it a real divine beast.
Divine beasts shouldn't exist in this world. As one of the five spirits, the divine beast Vermilion Bird had a vast and sacred aura that was comparable to that of a fairy. In this day and age when the Immemorial Cultivation Techniques were lost, the appearance of a divine beast broke the balance of the current Realm of Cultivators. It triggered the Law of Heaven and Earth, and thus caused the tenth tribulation.
At this moment, Fairy Fengqing was even more shocked when she sensed the phoenix feather's aura.
This demonic cultivator's cultivation was slightly lower than hers, but its aura was so powerful, and it was so sacred that she wanted to worship it. What was going on?
Could it be that there was a descendant of a divine beast hidden in the depths of the East Sea?
This kind of aura wasn't something that those so-called "descendants" who had a minuscule amount of divine beast bloodline could possess.
As she thought about this, the phoenix feather arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye, shining with an extremely bright light.

Outside, Little Feng and Fairy Fengqing were fighting fiercely. Inside the Ten Thousand Li Lone Boat, Mo Tiange asked Qin Xi, "What does she mean?
Why didn't she tell us her real name? "
Qin Xi said, "She's probably looking for a very big fated chance, so she doesn't want people to know her real name. Otherwise, once it gets out, her situation will be very worrying."
"But she told us Senior Martial Sister Miaoyi's name!" Mo Tiange said angrily, looking very displeased.
Qin Xi shook his head helplessly. "This Fairy Fengqing is about the same age as Senior Martial Sister Miaoyi, but Senior Martial Sister Miaoyi's aptitude is outstanding, she's popular, and her realm-advancement is much faster than Senior Martial Sister Miaoyi's.
In the past, Fairy Fengqing didn't seem to care, but now, I'm afraid she has resentment in her heart. "
If she didn't want to leave her name, she could've used an alias like Mo Tiange, but Fairy Fengqing didn't. She deliberately told them Lord Daoist Miaoyi's name. They wouldn't believe it if they said it was unintentional.
Outside the longhouse, Little Feng and Fairy Fengqing were fighting back and forth. The spiritual aura was turbulent, causing raging waves and surging clouds.
Fairy Fengqing cultivated the Fire Lotus Technique, while Little Feng was a divine beast with fire attributes. The two of them fought on the sea, so their strength was weakened. Although Fairy Fengqing's methods were brilliant, Little Feng's Vermilion Bird Flame was of a higher level, so she couldn't do anything to it for a while.
However, the commotion here had already caused the sea beasts to hide. If this dragged on for a while, higher level beast cultivators would probably come …
While Fairy Fengqing was thinking about this, Red Lotus blocked the phoenix feather and shouted, "Fellow Daoist, it's not easy for the beast race to cultivate. Do you really want to hurt both of us?"
Little Feng's figure came to a halt.
Fairy Fengqing took the opportunity to say, "Fellow Daoist, you must've advanced to the eighth rank not long ago, right?
Although our realms are the same, our strengths are different. If I make up my mind, it won't be difficult for me to injure you. "
Hearing those words, Xiao Feng revealed a hesitant expression.
"Although we're not from the same clan, we don't have any deep hatred. Why do we have to fight to the death?"
After a while, Little Feng finally waved her hand and took back her phoenix feather.
Fairy Fengqing heaved a sigh of relief and also called back her red lotus.
"How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?" Fairy Fengqing asked.
Little Feng said, "I'm a descendant of the phoenix. You can call me Lord Phoenix."
"… Fellow Daoist Lord Phoenix."
Fairy Fengqing felt strange. Her name was Fengqing, but this beast cultivator called her Lord Phoenix. Why did it sound like he was taking advantage of her?
Little Feng cast a sidelong glance at her. "Fellow Daoist, although I'm not strong enough to fight with you, it won't be difficult for me to escape. As for you, if you're besieged by beast cultivators, not only will your plan be in vain, but you'll also lose your life if you're not careful." It put on a fake smile. "Do the benefits you just mentioned still count?"
Fengqing felt helpless and said, "Of course …"
