Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"The moment to witness a miracle is upon us!"

Xiao Yi smiled with confidence.

He walked straight up to the beast-taming pouch that contained the Ice-Phoenix.

With a flick of his finger, he sent the beast-taming pouch flying into the air and grasped it in his hand.

Everyone's gaze converged on his hand, their eyes filled with puzzlement, "What exactly does he intend to do?"

"Could it be that he can summon a mythical creature even stronger than the Silver-Winged Sword Dragon?"

"Hmph, it's nothing more than smoke and mirrors!"

Yang Kun scoffed coldly, his face oozing with scorn. He simply didn't believe that Xiao Yi had a way to make the Ice-Phoenix stronger than the Silver-Winged Sword Dragon, especially since it was a creature cultivated by Xiao Tianjiao himself.

Just the name Xiao Tianjiao alone signified supreme superiority above all else.

Yang Ling clenched his fists tightly, a tiny flame of weak hope flickering in the midst of his desperate eyes as he fixed his gaze on Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, our success or failure all depends on you now!"

Even Emperor Qian on the dragon throne revealed an intrigued expression.

He too couldn't imagine how Xiao Yi could turn the tide.

After all...

Within the Great Qian Dynasty, the name Xiao Tianjiao represented the ultimate superiority, unsurpassed by anyone!

Even he, the true ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Was unable to rival Xiao Tianjiao in prestige.

At this moment.

Xiao Yi, to the astonishment of the onlookers, opened the seal of the beast-taming pouch.

Whoosh!

An icy blue figure surged out from the beast-taming pouch. Its shape grew larger and larger, in an instant transforming into a massive icy blue Ice-Phoenix with wings spanning dozens of yards.

Its body covered in icy blue feathers, as if carved from frost.

Reflecting the sunlight, its form was like blue jade, drawing people's gaze to it unconsciously.

Ice-Phoenix!

The queen of all mythical creatures in the world of ice and snow!

Magnificent and beautiful, an absolute splendor among mythical creatures.

The aura of a sixth-order high-ranking Beast King instantly unleashed, flapping its wings and causing icy blue snowflakes to fall, turning the space above the altar into a realm of ice and snow.

"Such a beautiful Ice-Phoenix..."

"If it weren't for the presence of Xiao Tianjiao's Silver-Winged Sword Dragon, this could have definitely been the number one creature of the literary festival!"

Tweet, tweet!

The Ice-Phoenix flapped its wings and cried melodiously. Its eyes swiftly scanning around, it soared upwards, attempting to escape. Xiao Yi let out a cold laugh and reached out his hand towards the void, "Come down to me!"

Buzz!

Infinite vital energy surged from his fingertips, transforming into golden chains of vital energy.

With a clang,

The chains wrapped around the Ice-Phoenix, binding it tightly, leaving it unable to move. Xiao Yi faced his palm downward and pushed towards the ground. With a scream, the Ice-Phoenix was yanked from the sky and thudded onto the ground with a bang.

"Open your mouth!"

Xiao Yi stepped on the Ice-Phoenix's neck and pried its mouth open.

Yang Kun, standing below the altar, watched Xiao Yi act with such confidence that he himself felt nervous. Watching Xiao Yi pry open the mouth of the Ice-Phoenix, he couldn't help but speak up, "Xiao Yi, you're not thinking of killing it to make soup and bribe us, are you?"

The Huihai Sword Master stood with his arms crossed, his face full of mockery, "Maybe he has a way to help the Ice-Phoenix reach the seventh-order Mythical Emperor class!"

"It is said that Xiao Yi is skilled in alchemy, perhaps he really does have this ability!" Nangong Shengji said softly.

Seventh-order Mythical Emperor.

Equivalent to the Nirvana Realm in humans, but for a mythical creature to reach the seventh order is dozens of times more difficult than for a human martial artist to enter the Nirvana Realm.

Even for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, who were Beast Tamers by origin and had stood for thousands of years in the Great Qian Dynasty, they had only managed to cultivate two seventh-order mythical creatures.

They naturally did not believe that Xiao Yi could create such a miracle.

Watching Yang Kun and the Huihai Sword Master constantly mocking Xiao Yi, Jin Feiyan grew indignant, "Just because something is impossible for you, it doesn't mean it is impossible for my master. When my master first took over the Xiaoshanhe Institute, everyone thought it was impossible for him to revitalize it, and yet, didn't all of your faces get swollen from being proved wrong?"

Ye Heng also sneered, "When my master resolved to flatten the Nangong Family, didn't you, Nangong, also think it was impossible? Now, even as the Great Qian Dynasty respects you, hasn't all of the Nangong Family's properties been shut down? That too was done by my master, wasn't it?"

Nangong Shengji: "..."

Huihai Sword Master: "..."

Their complexions were extremely unsightly, and the words of Ye Heng and his companion were like invisible slaps, harshly striking their faces.

They gritted their teeth.

Nangong Shengji snorted coldly and said, "Words are useless; we'll see!"

Atop the altar.

The Ice Phoenix was filled with terror in its eyes.

It had witnessed the terrifying means of Xiao Yi and spoke in human tongue, "Great King, spare my life! I don't want to die, please spare me…"

Xiao Yi said indifferently, "Don't worry, I won't kill you!"

With a flick of his finger.

From the tip of Xiao Yi's finger, a condensed orb of pure water-attributed Qi formed into a blue sphere of vitality and entered the Ice Phoenix's mouth. At the same time, Xiao Yi recited a secret incantation, "If the heart is as clear as ice, the sky may fall without alarm…"

Buzz!

The Ice Phoenix shuddered all over and abruptly stopped struggling.

The shock and disbelief filled its eyes as it stared dumbfounded at Xiao Yi.

The incantation he recited was in perfect harmony with the path it had been following!

Xiao Yi indifferently said, "Control the demonic Yuan within your body and follow my cultivation technique!"

"Yes!"

The Ice Phoenix nodded earnestly.

Under the guidance of Xiao Yi's Qi, the demonic Yuan within its body also began to circulate wildly.

Nangong Shengji sneered, "I think Xiao Yi has really gone mad. Does he actually think he can teach cultivation techniques to a demon beast?"

"Even the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect doesn't have cultivation techniques for demon beasts, how could he possibly have any?"

"Nothing but smoke and mirrors!"

"If he succeeds, I'll take off my head and use it as a night pot…" Yang Kun sneered repeatedly.

Yet Xiao Yi was as if he heard nothing, meticulously guiding the Ice Phoenix in the circulation of its demonic Yuan.

The path of this demonic Yuan quickly completed one cycle, followed by a second, a third…a total of thirty-six cycles. The most difficult part of a demon beast's breakthrough into the Nirvana Realm was changing its own body structure.

Cultivation techniques for demon beasts were extremely rare, with only a select few possessing ancestral memories and cultivation techniques passed down from their lineage.

The Ice Phoenix, despite its strength, had no such inherited cultivation techniques.

The secret technique Xiao Yi taught it came directly from the Dao Yan heritage, a secret technique specifically prepared for demon beasts.

As it circulated.

The Ice Phoenix broke through its own shackles, a blue light soaring to the sky, and strands of ice-blue light converged upon its body. This turned its blue feathers increasingly pure and flawless.

Boom!

The Ice Phoenix burst into the air majestically.

On its body, strands of blue light gathered into mysterious runes that branded themselves onto its feathers.

On its forehead.

Three tufts of ice-blue feathers slowly shimmered with silver light, much like a silver crown!

Seventh-Order Beast King!

As everyone looked at the Ice Phoenix before them, their minds buzzed, and all went blank.

This Ice Phoenix had actually, under the guidance of Xiao Yi, stepped into the seventh-order and became an existence of Beast King.

Cheep cheep!

The Ice Phoenix flapped its wings and soared into the clouds, leaving behind a trail of ice-blue light across the sky. After circling in the air a few times, the Ice Phoenix returned to Xiao Yi's side, standing respectfully by.

The aura of a Seventh-Order Beast King spread out, causing numerous powerful beings to exhibit expressions of reverence and terror.

The one most overwhelmed was Yang Kun!

Thump!

He fell down on his backside, his face pale: "How... How could this happen…"
