Chapter 123: The Great Phoenix Transforms into Human Form

Since it had nothing to do with her, she decided to let it go.

With that, Baili Tianchang began to look down at the scenery of the Devil’s Forest. The great phoenix flew at a great height, and everywhere it passed, the world was bathed in a shimmering golden light. Like a sun in the high heavens, the great phoenix radiated brilliant, dazzling splendor, scattering countless halos of light below.

In a flash, before Baili Tianchang had even had the chance to take a good look at the Devil’s Forest, the great phoenix had already brought her to the Divine Phoenix Clan.

The great phoenix set her down on the ground with the utmost care. Then, with a sudden transformation, she shifted into the form of a middle-aged woman, whose every gesture was marked by a dignity that radiated nobility and majesty from head to toe.

Baili Tianchang could not help but stare in bewilderment. This was simply too miraculous! The great phoenix was actually capable of taking human form! She could only wonder how many years of cultivation it must have taken to reach such a realm.

The great phoenix, now in the form of a middle-aged woman, wore a floor-length golden phoenix robe. Perched upon her hair was a phoenix crown of gold inlaid with jade. As the noble and majestic Divine Phoenix sat upon a high throne with elegant yet powerful strides, Baili Tianchang realized that this must be the most esteemed member of the Divine Phoenix Clan. If the Dragon Clan had a Dragon King, then the Phoenix Clan must surely have a Phoenix King, right?

Could this great phoenix be the Phoenix King herself?

The great phoenix sat down gracefully, looking exceptionally imposing. She lifted her gaze toward Baili Tianchang. At this moment, Baili Tianchang’s attention was fixed on the black swallowtail butterfly resting in her palm. The little creature was so spirited, yet Baili Tianchang worried that it might be frightened by the solemnity of the Divine Phoenix Palace. After all, the difference between a swallowtail butterfly and a Divine Phoenix was as vast as heaven and earth. What if her little Fengfeng was terrified by the great phoenix’s sudden transformation into a human?

Therefore, Baili Tianchang gazed at the black swallowtail, whispering soft comforts to it, "Little Fengfeng, don't be afraid. Just stay quietly in my palm, and we will be able to leave soon."

Upon hearing Baili Tianchang’s words, the black swallowtail butterfly let out a series of chirping laughs. "Master, now that little Fengfeng has returned home, why would I be afraid?"

"What?" Baili Tianchang asked, completely bewildered.

The next moment, the black swallowtail butterfly fluttering in her palm took flight, dancing away from her hand. It circled before her eyes twice and then vanished in an instant.

Baili Tianchang blinked in surprise and called out urgently, "Little Fengfeng, where have you gone?"

Yet before her voice had even faded, a small phoenix, glowing with golden light, suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"Little Phoenix, you’ve finally reappeared?" Baili Tianchang looked at the small phoenix with a mix of shock and joy. "But where has my little Fengfeng gone?"

"Hmm? Hmm? Where did your little Fengfeng go?"

After appearing, the small phoenix dove into Baili Tianchang’s arms. Seeing her looking anxiously in all directions for the black swallowtail, the small phoenix began to turn its head this way and that, joining her in the search. Looking at the dazed and clueless little phoenix...
