Legend of the Great Sage Chapter 960 - The Phoenix Comes, Free to Wander the World

“Fine then!”

After some consideration, Feng Xiwu finally nodded and agreed. He truly did not want the little phoenix to be trapped in the tiny phoenix’s nest forever, and remaining by Li Qingshan’s side might have even been safer than remaining on Fire Melt mountain.

The little phoenix cheered and turned back into his original form, flying around Feng Xiwu a few times before throwing himself into his arms. “Thank you, second father!”

“There will be a day when you leave this world, follow your true parents, and find a wutong that belongs to you.” Feng Xiwu hugged him tightly as his smile became slightly sad. 

The phoenix had flown away, leaving the wutong empty for a length of ten thousand years.

The little phoenix blanked out. Suddenly, he began to feel sad. They had spent ten thousand years together, so how could he be completely unattached to him? Originally, all he wanted to do was fly further and higher, but only when the time of parting arrived did he realise he still had not grown accustomed to this yet. This was a feeling that the phoenix’s legacy had never taught him. Tears trickled down his cheeks, almost about to change his mind.

“A wutong as great as you is quite difficult to find. If you don’t want to part with him, then cultivate well. You can go to higher worlds and take a look together!” Li Qingshan patted Feng Xiwu on the shoulder.

“That’s reasonable. I should make some progress too!”

Feng Xiwu began to laugh as well. Although he was a plant daemon, his cultivation speed should not have been so slow as a divine tree of nature. He had spent far too much energy and effort in hatching the phoenix’s embryo, which affected his cultivation speed.

“Don’t worry, second father. I’ll never find another wutong tree!” The little phoenix wiped away his tears and balled his fists.

Feng Xiwu chuckled and said to Li Qingshan, “I’ll leave Fengyuan up to you. You’re the first father. If anything happens to him, I’ll-”

“You better stop right there. He has to shoulder his fate himself and take responsibility for whatever he does.
