Transmigrating into a Demon Spirit to Blow up the Entire World-Chapter 162: Demon Emperor’s Little Phoenix 14 (part 2 of 2)
Chapter 162: Demon Emperor’s Little Phoenix 14 (part 2 of 2)
“I hate him for having killed those innocent with the Zhao Huo decree.” The Little Phoenix unconsciously clenched his fist, as if he saw the flaming fiery dragon in the distant skies and at the summit of the Buzhou Mountain once again, as well as the lives, miserably crying for help in the raging flames, “……I will never forgive him.”
The three words of ‘Zhao Huo decree’ made Kong Ming once again feel an inevitable surge of remorse. He took a deep breath in order to stabilize his mind, then queried: “Do you still love that Demon Race?”
The Little Phoenix shook his head once again: “……I don’t know.”
Truth be told, he still doesn’t understand what love is. His feelings for An Ying isn’t of pure love either, but is a mixture of childlike dependency and a novelty he is unwilling to let go off.
But regardless of how much novelty and dependence were mixed, this were the genuine feelings of the Little Phoenix, and is purer than anything else. At this moment, An Ying still didn’t know what he had truly lost, — He lost the most precious thing on this world, and even after exhausting his whole life from that day forward, he will never be able to bring back that Little Phoenix, who’s willing to offer everything to him.
A few strands of hair fell on the Little Phoenix’s forehead, casting fine shadows. He then brushed away the hair on his forehead and raised his head once more. He showed a smile to Kong Ming, that was as arrogant, unconstrained and full of charm as before, in addition to a childish pout, “……but love isn’t fun at all. I will never fall in love with anyone again in the future.”
Under the Chinese parasol tree, when he looked at An Ying with this same kind of smile, it captivated An Ying’s heart. But at this moment, when he looked at Kong Ming with the same expression, it made Kong Ming feel so painful and heartbroken.
Kong Ming had come to realize what he has lost.
The Phoenix is an inherently prideful race. Once their interest towards certain things were lost, it might be shunned forever. Kong Ming realized that, although the Little Phoenix will not like An Ying anymore, but neither will he fall in love with him; he realized that, regardless of how many methods he uses, it would truly be difficult for him to enter the Little Phoenix’s heart.
But the Little Phoenix had already entered his heart a long time ago, and is placed at the most obvious corner of his heart. The feelings he held back in his heart for too long with nowhere to express, changed into tiny needles. Prickling people that will make them unable to rest or eat in peace, and is more terrible than any other pain.
Love is truly the most terrible thing in this world. No matter who, once it take root, it will never be broken free from anymore. Moreover, the Little Phoenix is the least entangled individual Kong Ming has ever seen. The likes will be a wholehearted sort of like, and the dislikes will immediately be turned away, without any dithering.
What was even more unthinkable for Kong Ming was, the Little Phoenix’s simple and decisive action. In the assembly of the Heavenly Race the next day, the Little Phoenix had actually directly confessed his guilt regarding the mismanagement of the Zhao Huo decree to the Heavenly Emperor, right in front of several lord Immortals.
Although the majority of the newer generation only knows of the Zhao Huo decree superficially, but this is not the case for the Ancient Immortal lords. Especially those two raging flower flames woven by the Zhao Huo decree, which were really so powerful, that people can imagine it at a glance.
Therefore, the Little Phoenix simply took the initiative to state it clearly, to avoid the people from talking. The Immortal lords were also individuals that were not adept at weighing up other’s words and observing other’s facial expression, so they dare not judge rashly for a while, but just look at the face and action of the Heavenly Emperor. The Little Phoenix didn’t want to make it difficult for the Heavenly Emperor, so the next sentence after having confessed his guilt was, his willingness to sever the root of wisdom and emotions to half in accordance to the Heavenly Rules.
There is indeed this punishment in the Heavenly Rules. Moreover, this punishment is neither light nor heavy. The people in the Heavenly Race has always pursued asceticism. On the contrary, emotions will affect cultivation, that some people will even take the initiative to give it up. The Heavenly Race has mixed opinions regarding the wisdom root as well. They all say that great intelligence may appear to be stupidity. People with too many heavy thoughts in their minds will actually have difficulties in advancing, not to mention that the wisdom root will still have a chance to regenerate. Thus, the Immortal lords mulled over this deep inside, and thought that this punishment was very good. Not only will it not leave a stain on the Heavenly Emperor for disregarding the public interest for personal gain, but it will also not let His Highness the Prince suffer from too much injustice. Only then did they start to deliberate this.
It was already too late when An Ying heard of the news.
The Little Phoenix took the Chengyin knife, and personally severed the invisible threads of the wisdom root and emotions. However, what the Heavenly Emperor was most worried about was actually the backlash of the Zhao Huo decree. The Little Phoenix has already grown so big, yet this was the first time he had ever seen such a heavy expression on the Heavenly Emperor, in addition to an unspeakable regret, “It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have always restrained you. If you had more playmates, you would’ve gotten to know the different kinds of people. Maybe then, you wouldn’t have easily believed and like that young man called An Ying……”
Thinking back to the times, when the Phoenix King once fought alongside with him before, the Heavenly Emperor’s expression became a little bit more guilt-ridden and nostalgic, “The only reason Your father fell early was exactly because he wanted to save others. So, when you were still very young, in worrying that you will repeat the same mistakes, I opposed in you going anywhere. But I didn’t expect it to harm you instead……”
When Kong Ming asked the Little Phoenix if he felt sad before, he had shaken his head. But at this moment, he finally experienced the feeling of sadness. As a younger generation, not only did he fail to make his elders be at ease and happy, but had also made his elders worry and sad because of his mistake instead, which made him feel incessantly uncomfortable. The Little Phoenix secretly clenched his fist and said, “Foster father, You don’t have to worry about me. I have already thought about it. I decided to go to the Yu Yuan Nirvana.”
The Little Phoenix was currently on a drafty place, with only a long sleeved robe on. When the wind blows, the slim and slender figure appears both thin and frail. However, under such a frail appearance, is a strong, firm and proud spirit. The Little Phoenix calmly continued to say: “No one can avoid the backlash of the Zhao Huo decree. Rather than wait for an inescapable fate in anxiety, it’s better to take the initiative to enter Nirvana. Nirvana is a new life, everything will start afresh, whether it be the backlash of the Zhao Huo decree or the previous interrelated karma. All will disappear without a trace. Moreover, once a Phoenix lives to certain age, it will always enter Nirvana, even more than once. In this way, what will the difference be with now and later?”
The Heavenly Emperor looked at the pair of sensible and calm eyes of the Little Phoenix, and was unexpectedly rendered speechless for a while. A short while later, he only slightly frowned and gave a nod: “This is really a good idea. But Nirvana isn’t as simple as you think. It is known that everyone is eager to get a new life, but the Phoenix is born with this ability. That’s why the Heavenly Law imposed a lot of conditions on Nirvana. First of all, you will go through seven reincarnations in three thousand small worlds, during this process, it is best to have someone with a strength, no lower than a High Immortal, to expend half of their power to protect you around the clock. After the reincarnation is over, this person will use their blood to help you break out of your shell once more.”
The Little Phoenix seemed to have already thought of these much earlier, as there wasn’t any anxiety or hesitation on his face, he only comforted the Heavenly Emperor: “You don’t have to worry. Whether it be in expending their cultivation or protection, You need not mention or care about these, someone will voluntarily do it.”
Not to mention half of his cultivation, even using half of his life in exchange for the Little Phoenix return, is something An Ying is completely willing to do. After Mao Shu learned that Cang Yi had been scattered to ashes and dispersed to smoke because of the backlash of the two-life flowers, his mind had completely collapsed due to the huge blow. However, the blow An Ying received was no less than his, his mind had even completely blanked out, and was unable to speak or move for a long time, as he only felt one feeling in his whole being .
That is of distress and regret.
The overwhelming distress rendered An Ying incapable of making any movements. He only dazedly stood in place, while the intense pain made every nerve in his body twitch. Regret also flowed through his blood vessels, just like a deadly poison, without cure.
He tasted blood from the mouth he unconsciously bit, but he knew that this kind of pain was not worth mentioning to the pain of digging one’s heart out. An Ying didn’t even dare to think about how much pain the Little Phoenix felt when he dug out his living heart and refined it into a pill, because the slightest thought of it made him unable to breathe.
