Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 789: Xiao Hes Attitude

Sensing the arrival of the White Tiger Demon Emperor, Tang San and Mei Gongzi descended from the sky as two light streams. Tang San stood behind Mei Gongzi, his hands resting on her waist. The aura surrounding Mei Gongzi betrayed her incredible cultivation—she was now at the peak of the eleventh order. Silver starlight flickered and fell in the air, illuminating her and making her indescribably beautiful.

Seeing this, the White Tiger Demon Emperor couldn't help but twitch. Not long ago, when he had sparred with Tang San and Mei Gongzi, he suffered greatly from this move. Even though he had been an Emperor for centuries and his cultivation was incredibly stable, when facing Mei Gongzi enhanced by Tang San's support, her Void Plunder directly drained thirty percent of his strength. Then, Tang San followed up with an all-out attack, nearly causing the old White Tiger to cough up blood. And their coordination wasn't even as good as it was now.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor was fully convinced that if they continued to train like this, not only Tang San but even Mei Gongzi would surpass the achievements of the former Peacock Demon Emperor—and that was without her using the Celestial Plume to see the future.

Tang San had already informed the White Tiger Demon Emperor that the Peacock Demon Emperor's early death was directly related to that. Therefore, he would not allow Mei Gongzi to use her Celestial Plume ability in this regard.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor nodded toward the two of them and said, "There's something I need to discuss with you."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Mei Gongzi.

"Little Mei, you need to be mentally prepared."

"What's wrong, Grandpa?" Mei Gongzi asked, puzzled.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor said in a deep voice, "Little Mei, the Undying Demon Emperor and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor are here."

Her expression stiffened, and she remained silent.

Tang San held her tiny hand, passing the warmth of his own to her.

"What do they want?" Tang San asked.

"They hope to help Little Mei awaken her phoenix bloodline."

"They want her to acknowledge her ancestry and become a member of the phoenix race?" Tang San narrowed his eyes.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor shook his head and said, "No, it's not that. They just want to help her awaken the phoenix bloodline. As for acknowledging her ancestry, that's impossible. Not only does Little Mei have no emotional connection with them, but even if she did, it cannot possibly happen now. Otherwise, would Kali City belong to the Peacock Demon clan or the phoenix race?"

Tang San turned to look at Mei Gongzi. Her delicate face was slightly pale, and her eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Tang San gently squeezed her small hand and said, "Don't feel any pressure. Whatever you want to do, you can do. No one will force you."

The White Tiger Demon Emperor nodded and said, "I feel the same way. You should only meet them if you agree. If you don't, I'll send them away. However, they've already promised that in the future, when you are about to become an Emperor, they'll support you unconditionally, whether or not you still identify as human. From that perspective alone, I think it's worth considering. Also, gaining a phoenix bloodline would undoubtedly benefit you. With Tang San's expertise in bloodline fusion, his guidance could make you even more powerful."

Tang San nodded slightly. If Mei Gongzi gained the Phoenix bloodline, her strength would undoubtedly grow even more. It would also make breaking through to Emperor status easier. Both the Phoenix and the Peacock could be considered supreme among avian demons. Despite their long-standing rivalry, these two top-tier bloodlines had the potential for synergy. Tang San had already experienced this himself, as he possessed both bloodlines.

Before the Peacock Great Demon King's resurrection, Mei Gongzi would have undoubtedly refused without a second thought. But now that he was alive again, in a way, her father's death was no longer a factor. Moreover, she could not deny that Lin Ximo was her biological father. The blood bond remained no matter what he had done wrong or how much her mother hated him.

Mei Gongzi looked to Tang San for help, and from her gaze, he could see clearly that she didn't know how to decide.

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "How about we ask Xiao He for his opinion? I think his perspective will help you a lot. If he supports it, you could give it a try."

Mei Gongzi's eyes lit up. That's right!

The Peacock Great Demon King and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor were sworn enemies. If she accepted his bloodline, how would he view her? But if he agreed to it, she would have no psychological burden.

And deep down, she still wanted to meet her father face to face.

"Let's go. Let's meet Xiao He."

Since his resurrection, Xiao He had been refining his body with Tang San's help, cultivating the Body Sect techniques. He continuously strengthened himself. Although he couldn't achieve something like Tang San's Immaculate Golden Body, as he tempered his body, Xiao He gradually felt the difference between a human physique and the physique of a Peacock Demon.

The human body was incredibly adaptable. At first, he had felt that the human body was far too weak compared to his former Peacock Demon body. But as time went on, he began to realize that this human body had an immense potential for development. Every day felt like a transformation, and he could no longer sense where the limits of this body lay. This was something he had never experienced before.

When demons cultivated, the most important factor was bloodline strength. The stronger one's bloodline, the greater the potential. If the bloodline was weak, the potential would be low, and the level one could reach would be limited.

The Peacock Great Demon King considered himself extremely intelligent, but no matter how hard he tried in the past, he could never touch the threshold of the Emperor level. He was extremely powerful among Great Demon Kings, but his efforts to reach a higher level were in vain without a sufficiently powerful bloodline to support him.

However, the human body was different. Human potential gave him a sense of boundlessness. He did not possess a demon bloodline; he was not even a hybrid, but a pure human. Yet, through daily refinement, his power was only growing every day. He could sense that if he were to gain a demon bloodline in the future and cultivate the Demonic God Transformation, he would quickly reach the ninth order and be ready to attempt the divine tribulation.

The more he cultivated, the more fascinated the Peacock Great Demon King became with the human body, and the more satisfied he was with his current state. He even began to think that by relying on this human body, he might truly have the chance to touch the realm of Emperors in the future.

The door opened, and Tang San, Mei Gongzi, and the White Tiger Demon Emperor entered together.

Xiao He immediately stopped cultivating and looked at them with some surprise.

The White Tiger Demon Emperor rarely visited. Normally, it was just Tang San and Mei Gongzi who came to see him, so why had they all come together this time?

Tang San led Mei Gongzi to the Peacock Great Demon King and got straight to the point. "The Undying Demon Emperor and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor are here. They've come for Little Mei."

Xiao He's eyelid twitched slightly. "Let me guess... They want Little Mei to accept them as family and awaken her phoenix bloodline?"

Tang San nodded.

Mei Gongzi gazed at her adoptive father with a complex expression.

Xiao He smiled and said, "Go ahead, agree to it. This is something that has no downside, so why not accept? But make sure to negotiate for as many conditions as you can. For instance, they must allow you to keep your human blood and identity, and in the future, when you ascend, they have to support you. As for the Crystal Phoenix bloodline, I drained it completely back then, so technically it doesn't exist anymore, but the essence of a phoenix is still in your bones and it can indeed be awakened.

"But when you do that, don't take Lin Ximo's bloodline. The Crystal Phoenix clan ranks at the bottom of the phoenix race. If it weren't for an opportunity Lin Ximo got from the Crystal Demon Emperor, he would've never become an Emperor. If they want to awaken your phoenix bloodline, they need to infuse you with pure blood essence, so ask for the blood essence of the Undying Demon Emperor. The Immortal Flame Phoenix lineage is the strongest of the phoenix race. If we're going to do this, then we have to aim for the best."
