Yao Yue calmed them down and told them to stay put for the time being. When he needed them in the future, he would tell them what to do.
Seeing Yao Yue's insistence, the two phoenixes wanted to leave with disappointment.
At that moment, Yu Hong and a few other Fung family elders walked over and said, "Since Luan Xing and Luan Chen are willing to pursue you, we will allow them to follow you."
Luan Xing and Luan Chen were the phoenixes' names. They thanked Yu Hong gratefully, "Thank you, grandmother!"
"Great-grandmother, is this a good idea?" Yao Yue asked in embarrassment.
Yao Yue did not even need to use his senses to know that the two phoenixes were extremely powerful. If they followed him, what would the rest of the Fung family think?
"There's nothing wrong with it. From today onwards, you will be the commander of the Fung family's phoenixes. These phoenixes will be under your command to protect the Fung family," Yu Hong declared.
The other Fung family elders did not have any objections. As the head of the Fung family, he did not dare to object.
Yao Yue thought about it and did not refuse. In any case, he would need the strength of the Fung family in the future. With this title, he could slowly gain a foothold in the Fung family.
Yao Yue told Luan Xing and Luan Chen to return to their territory first. He would visit them after he had recovered from his injuries.
Luan Xing and Luan Chen did not insist and returned to their territory with the phoenixes.
Following that, Yao Yue followed Yu Hong back to the small courtyard where he lived to recuperate!
A day later, Yao Yue's injuries were mostly healed. His condition was much better than before.
Yao Yue walked out of his room to talk to Xuande.
Xuande seemed to know that Yao Yue was looking for him. He was drinking alone at the stone table in the courtyard. When he saw Yao Yue, he praised, "Young master, you are truly amazing."
"Lord Xuande, you must be joking," Yao Yue replied.
Then, he walked over and sat down. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank with Xuande!
"Young Master, I plan to find a place for the Xuan Family and the Yuefengge to settle down. We will leave tomorrow. What do you think?" Xuan De asked.
"It's time to find a place!
However, I don't know what plans Lord Xuande has! "Yao Yue replied.
"I originally planned on finding the old site of Divine Sect, but Young Master's strength is still limited. I feel that it's better to wait until you're strong enough to find the old site and recruit your old subordinates!
For now, I'll choose a temporary place to settle down so that Young Master's subordinates can get used to the life of an Earthly Star! "Xuande replied.
"If that's the case, why don't we head to the Yao family's new location?" Yao Yue suggested.
The Yao family had already settled down in the territory of the Dragon and Phoenix under the arrangement of the Fung family.
Yao Yue thought that since the Xuan Family and Yue Feng Pavilion lived nearby, they would be able to communicate better. In the future, it would be easier for him to summon these forces together.
Xuande shook his head and said, "That won't be appropriate. My Xuan Family once had an old residence. I plan to return there to take a look. That place will allow my Xuan Family's disciples to grow stronger. As for Young Master's subordinates, they will be staying there temporarily. I can help you train them!"
"Alright then. I'll go with you tomorrow!" Yao Yue did not insist.
Xuande continued, "Young Master, you should just stay in the Fung family. Increasing your strength is the most important thing. Once we've settled down, I will send someone to inform you. It won't be too late for you to come and take a look when you're free!"
Yao Yue did not insist and agreed.
After that, they started chatting and talked about some things that had happened since ancient times!
The next day, Xuande left the Fung family with the Xuan Family and the Yuefengge.
Before they left, the Fung family's Great-grandmother came out to send them off. She gave Xuande enough face.
After Xuande and the others left, Yao Yue's life did not return to normal.
He first went to visit his maternal grandparents. He discovered that his uncles and cousins who had treated him badly were now welcoming him with smiles on their faces. They even took the initiative to befriend him.
Yao Yue was just going along with their attempts to please him!
Following that, the other members of the Fung family came to visit him one after another. They could not visit Yao Yue's courtyard, so they could only visit his maternal grandparents to befriend him.
A junior who could transform into a phoenix had a limitless future. It was enough for them to fawn on him.
Yao Yue dealt with them for two days before he returned to his courtyard and announced that he would be going into seclusion to cultivate.
He was not joking. He really planned to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time.
His Great-grandmother had given him a lot of cultivation resources in the Space Ring. There were also a lot of combat skills. He wanted to learn from them to increase his combat strength.
Yao Yue picked out a few battle skills, memorized them in his heart, and cultivated them for a while!
These were all Sacred Skills that were suitable for him.
As for the Divine Skills, he was not in a hurry to cultivate them. He already had three Divine Skills. The one he could use was the Divine Finger of Annihilation. As for the Fire God's Fist and the Divine Palm of Light, he could only use them after his strength reached a higher level.
Other than cultivating his combat skills, he did not forget to accumulate his strength and cultivate his soul power.
With the Nine Sovereigns Divine Technique, the speed of accumulation was extremely fast. It often drained the Origin Energy around him. He also needed to borrow a lot of Saint Crystals to absorb enough energy.
The more Yao Yue cultivated, the more he realized that he still had a lot of potential that he had not forced out.
In the past battles, he had used the power of his Demon Core and Primary Sea. The increase in his combat strength was indeed not low. However, he still felt that it was not his limit.
Therefore, he kept trying to find where his limit was.
After a period of exploration, Yao Yue finally realized that the key was the Nine Star Battle Rune.
As long as he activated the Nine Star Battle Rune and used it as a guide to circulate the power of his Demon Core and Primary Sea, nine different kinds of Origin Energy would be stimulated. Then, his combat strength would increase by many times.
After figuring out this key point, Yao Yue was overjoyed.
He felt that if he fought with Feng Teng again and activated the Nine Star Battle Rune, it would be easy to defeat him.
This should be one of the mysteries of the Nine Star Battle Rune.
Yao Yue still had to dig it out bit by bit to be able to unleash the power of the Nine Star Battle Rune to the extreme.
Perhaps one day, he would be able to fight someone who was two levels higher than him.
Just thinking about it made Yao Yue very excited.
As for cultivating the soul, Yao Yue had also treated it as a part of his cultivation!
When he devoured the Phoenix's Demon Core, he had suffered a backlash from the Phoenix. Fortunately, he had the help of his soul. Otherwise, he would have been dead.
Also, he had communicated with Xuan De. If he wanted to enter the Heaven God Realm, refining his soul was an essential step.
It was also because of this that he understood the importance of his soul. This made him pay more attention to strengthening his soul.
The Soul Heart Sutra was an Origin Sutra from the Soul Race. With the help of it, Yao Yue could really strengthen his soul day by day.
Yao Yue felt that it was not an extravagant hope to be able to use his soul to fight one day.
However, using his soul to fight was an extremely dangerous thing. Once his soul was injured, it would not do him any good. He might even die.
Only the Soul Race was good at this kind of attack.
There was no sense of time in cultivation. Time passed day by day like flowing water!
This time, Yao Yue spent a full year in seclusion. His Demon Core and Yuan Sea had both reached the peak of the Mid-Rank Saint Realm.
This was the result of Yao Yue's day and night cultivation. It was also the result of him absorbing the Thousand Cubic Saint Crystals.
Only a rich cultivator like him would be able to squander Saint Crystals so willfully.
After Yao Yue came out of seclusion, he went to see his Great-grandmother. Then, he rushed to the place where the Phoenix Luans lived.
As Yao Yue passed by, many members of the Fung family would take the initiative to greet him. They did not ignore him like before. Some even gave him the cold shoulder.
This was the result of the battle a year ago.
Yao Yue did not put on any airs. He responded to them one by one.
Very quickly, Yao Yue arrived at a mountainous area without any buildings. There were many phoenixes flying around in the air!
When they saw Yao Yue, they quickly flew over and exclaimed, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Mm. Bring me to your clan's land," Yao Yue replied.
Next, a Phoenix Luan flew to Yao Yue's feet and allowed Yao Yue to ride it.
After getting on the Phoenix Luan's back, Yao Yue flew into the mountains.
Not long after, he arrived at the mountain where Feng Xing and Feng Chen were staying. This was the Phoenix Clan's important land.
Feng Xing and Feng Chen flew over and greeted, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Yao Yue waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities. I'm just here to take a look. There's nothing important."
"Your Highness, why don't you stay with us from now on? We can all benefit from your royal aura," Feng Xing suggested.
"That's right. Our Phoenix Clan is actually part of the Feng people's bloodline. We respect Your Highness from the bottom of our hearts," Feng Chen said.
"I know what you mean, but my cultivation level is still lower than yours. Even if I want to help you, it won't be that easy.
When I get stronger, it won't be a problem for me to help you improve your bloodline, "Yao Yue said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Feng Xing and Feng Chen said happily.
"Alright, there's no need to be so formal. Just chat with me," Yao Yue said.
Thus, Yao Yue casually chatted with Feng Xing and Feng Chen about some things!
Yao Yue mainly wanted to know how they settled down in the Fung family, what they knew about the Fung family, what they did for the Fung family, and what they received in return.
To put it bluntly, Yao Yue wanted to know what kind of authority he had as the commander.
In the end, he discovered that the Phoenix and Feng people had quite a high status in the Fung family. Under normal circumstances, if the Fung family wanted to use them, they would need the clan leader's permission. If the Fung family wanted to use them as mounts, they would need the clan leader's permission.
As for him, he would be the commander of the Phoenix Clan from now on. If the clan leader wanted to use a Phoenix, he would need to obtain his permission. The same applied to the other members of the Fung family if they wanted to use a Phoenix as a mount.
In other words, the Phoenix Clan would be under Yao Yue's sole command from now on.
"This position isn't bad. At least the Fung family won't have to do anything," Yao Yue said in satisfaction.
