Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 1823: Ye Xiao’s Confusion

Ye Xiao rubbed his eyes and looked at the phoenix again. It did grow bigger. The fluff got dry and feathers were growing out...

After a while, the little thing grew even bigger. As it walked, it walked steadily. Its head started to grow feathers too.

Ye Xiao was solemn.

The feathers on the phoenix head were called the Crown of Phoenix. It was the most important part of the phoenix.

As the phoenix hatched, it would eat the eggshell. When it ate the eggshell, the Crown of Phoenix grew, and that was going to be a lifetime change!

There was one thing about the Crown of Phoenix that made it so important. How many feathers on the Crown of Phoenix indicated how much potential the phoenix has.

Normally, a phoenix had three feathers on its head, the longest in the middle of the other two, making it look like a crown.

When a baby phoenix had these three feathers on the head, it was a real phoenix, and it became the superior member of the clan. Some phoenixes only had two feathers of the crown...

These phoenixes would be picked out because they wouldn’t become powerful phoenixes in their lives.

Some phoenixes were talented, who had four feathers of the crown. These were the geniuses in the phoenix clan, who were strong competitors to be king.

In fact, although it was rare, there were some phoenixes who had five feathers of the crown. In hundreds of years, only one phoenix with five feathers of the crown was born to the world. This phoenix created a new era for the phoenix clan.

It was the legend of the phoenix clan!

When the little phoenix was eating its own eggshell, its Crown of Phoenix grew. It decided the future of the little creature, so Ye Xiao had a good reason to worry about it.

The little thing was bonded with him, so he cared!

He watched the baby phoenix. It was eating the eggshell fast. Almost one-third of the cracked eggshell was eaten. Only one feather showed up on its head... That seemed to be dysplastic...

“No way...” Ye Xiao was surprised.

‘Is it really so weak?’

‘Was it because of the damage Chihuo made on it? I have done whatever I could to save it. Did I fail to bring it back to what it should be?’

As the little thing finished half of the eggshell, the second feather grew up on its head...

Ye Xiao sighed. ‘It seems this little thing will have no more than three feathers on its head... In fact, maybe there are going to be only two...’

‘The second feather comes out, but it is still growing...’

He watched the phoenix eating. It was three times bigger than it just hatched. The two feathers were completed, and the third was growing up...

Ye Xiao was surprised. He realized that the feathers weren’t at the position they were supposed to be...

All the three feathers were on the left...

‘That doesn’t make sense...’

Ye Xiao almost passed out.

‘How could the Crown of Phoenix skew?’

‘This is unbelievable...’

‘Poor little bird...’

The eggshell was almost finished, but the three feathers were still on the left... They weren’t going to move to the center.

Ye Xiao felt upset about it. The phoenix treated him as if he was its father. There was a special bonding between them. He made a decision. ‘No matter how weak he is, he is my good son. I will give him all kinds of energy resources to create a miracle for him. Even if he won’t become powerful in his life, I want him to have a happy life! Besides, he calls me dad!’

The next moment, Ye Xiao was shocked!

Within one second...

On the right side of the phoenix’s head, there were three feathers!

These new feathers were like bamboo shooting in spring. They just shot out like phantoms!

Three on the right, three on the left, that balanced it back.

However, the feathers were too far from each other. The center of the head had nothing as if the phoenix had an ugly bald head...

“What is going on? How come there are so many feathers?” Ye Xiao was shocked.

Six feathers on the head, three of them were on the right while the others were on the left. The nearer the feather was to the middle, the longer it was...

“Six? How come?”

Ye Xiao said, “There is nothing in the middle. What is happening? This is so weird!”

He didn’t get it.

Something happened again. Three more feathers suddenly grew up in the middle...

These three were obvious!

The last three feathers were much longer than any other six feathers. The middle one of the new feathers was the longest. It must be the most important one!

That was amazing!

Nine feathers were on the phoenix head, making a special Crown of Phoenix. Ye Xiao’s phoenix son had an incredible crown... The nine feathers were still growing.

As Ye Xiao knew, the phoenixes were mostly with fire attribution. That was why phoenixes came back to life from fire. Most of them were in fire attribution, and the second largest number was in wind attribution, and the third was in thunder attribution. Only a few of them were in water attribution. However, there was one special kind of phoenix that was called Netherworld Phoenix in pure yin attribution. In ten thousand phoenixes of the royal family, there could be one Netherworld Phoenix. These five attributions were all they had. It was known as a fact to the world!

Ye Xiao’s phoenix son had nine different colors on the Crown of Phoenix. They were the seven colors of the rainbow and the other two colors, black and white. It surprised Ye Xiao to a great deal.

The longest feather in the middle was yellow, which was bright, making it look majestic...

At the end of this very feather, there was an ellipse, which was in even brighter yellow.

The other feathers also started to have the ellipses too...

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white, and black...

The nine colors were distinguished.

Each color was pure!

Bab looked at the phoenix, and it was shocked. It suddenly fell off his shoulder.

Even Erhuo, who had been sleeping with indifference, started to stare at the phoenix.

The phoenix finished all the cracked pieces of the eggshell. It chirped happily and flew over to Ye Xiao’s hand really fast. The nine bright colors made a shining rainbow in the air...

It rubbed Ye Xiao’s hand with its head and grabbed Ye Xiao’s clothes with its two claws. It was trying to get near to Ye Xiao’s chest.

Ye Xiao held the special phoenix in his hand. He didn’t know what to say.

‘Is this a good thing for my phoenix son?’

‘This is unbelievable...’

‘Those are so many feathers, aren’t they?’

The dragon egg was still shaking. Apparently, the baby dragon was trying to crack the eggshell to get out...

The little phoenix was in Ye Xiao’s arms. It almost hid itself entirely in Erhuo’s fur. It looked at the dragon egg and sneer at it.

It was just a baby, so it didn’t know what a miracle it just created. Erhuo had always occupied this position in Ye Xiao’s arms on his own. Nobody dared to set foot on its territory. The little phoenix actually got in. It definitely challenged Erhuo!

Ye Xiao thought for a while and took out the jade pendant the Golden Phoenix King gave him. He was going to crack it to summon the Golden Phoenix King and asked about the situation.

He thought for a while but eventually gave up the idea. He started to stare at the dragon egg instead.

He had a feeling that the baby dragon would be extraordinary as well. He decided to wait for the baby dragon, so he could ask about both situations...

He could ask the dragon king and the phoenix king at the same time...

While the cracking sound came from the eggshell, the dragon egg was broken...

A small head rushed out fiercely. The baby dragon was shaking its head. Apparently, that hit nearly knocked it out...

Afterward, the small head went back into the egg and continued hitting the eggshell...

The cracked pieces started to be hit off...

The next moment, a golden-color tiny baby dragon appeared.

It was just like the phoenix. It saw Ye Xiao and felt close to him.

“Mum...” The dragon said.

Ye Xiao was awkward...

The phoenix called him dad. It was not easy to get used to, but at least it didn’t treat him as a woman. The dragon called him mum... That was a huge mistake. He couldn’t allow that!

Ye Xiao looked at his chest and his crotch...

He was blank.

The dragon looked better than the baby phoenix. In fact, the dragon was more sensitive than the phoenix. It started to walk around Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao watched it for a while and realized something that indicated the baby dragon’s incredible power. It was actually flying over the ground. It was swimming in the air like a fish in the water! It was born to control the power of flying!

Ye Xiao was shocked.

Dragons should be trained to have the ability to fly. The baby dragon was actually born with such a gift. That already made it extraordinary...

The baby dragon moved close to Ye Xiao for a while and suddenly turned around toward the cracked eggshell...

Just like the phoenix, it started to eat the eggshell.

Ye Xiao stared at the dragon’s head.

When a dragon was born, its scales were reversed. While the reversed scales covered the entire body, the normal golden scales would grow out.

Whoever touched a dragon’s reversed scales would die. In fact, in some cases, the dragon died when its reversed scales were touched. The reversed scales were important!

After the reversed scales, the dragon started to have golden scales, which were to protect its heart. The more golden scales a baby dragon had, the more potential the dragon has. A baby dragon born with three golden scales was good enough. After the golden scales grew, it took one year before the other scales started to grow.

The number the golden scales indicated how powerful the dragon could be.

A baby dragon with less than three golden scales was never recognized as a dragon. Only those with over three golden scales could be dragons. Those who had four golden scales were geniuses in the dragon clan. They could become the most powerful dragons in the clan. Those who had over five golden scales might become king!

As was recorded, in the dragon clan’s history, there was one dragon who had nine golden scales, who was a legend. He reached the Infinity Stage in the end. That was a dragon in ancient times!

The Purple Dragon King was only at Undead Stage, and he was already the most powerful dragon in the clan!

Ye Xiao looked at the baby dragon and saw the reversed scales shining. These scales protected its body.

One after another, the golden scales started to grow. It was growing fast.

Ye Xiao stared at it and felt surprised.

The golden scales kept growing out. The dragon kept eating the eggshell, and the golden scales kept showing up.

One, two, three... Five...

Within a few minutes, the baby dragon had five golden scales already. The Purple Dragon King must only have one or two golden scales than five. However, the baby dragon had only eaten ten percent of the eggshell...

As expected, more golden scales showed up... There were already eight...

Ye Xiao was so shocked. He didn’t know what to say. The baby dragon was going to have at least nine golden scales! It could be ten!

As the dragon ate the eggshell, two small buds were growing out on its head... They were getting bigger...

“Dragon horns?” Ye Xiao was so in shock.

‘Dragon horns... Many dragons can’t have their dragon horns even after cultivating for five hundred years... How come this little thing starts to have its dragon horns so soon?’

Ye Xiao was surprised at first, and then he was shocked. After that, he was astonished, and in the end, he was confused!
