Chapter 2075: Chapter 2030: The Phoenix Clan
It seems there’s suddenly a great interest in Chen Yang.
"No sect, no clan? Then you really have an exceptional talent, Fellow Daoist Chen. In this day and age, where spiritual energy is scarce, growing to this realm without sect support is truly remarkable," said Feng Qingwu with admiration.
"Actually, it’s not that big of a deal. Mainly, I’m just used to being lazy and don’t really like the strict regulations of sects, so I haven’t joined any forces," Chen Yang chuckled, saying.
"Haha," Feng Qingwu also chuckled, unsure of what she was thinking.
After several seconds of silence, she continued, "Fellow Daoist Chen, while a relaxed and free approach is good, I think that to establish oneself in the cultivation world and develop long-term, one should still join a sect."
"After all, joining a group not only provides resources but also lessens many bothersome issues."
Although Feng Qingwu didn’t express it clearly, Chen Yang still understood her intention.
It was apparent she wanted to recruit him, yet she didn’t say it directly.
The Phoenix Clan is powerful.
In the beast race, they are top-tier, which Ao Min has already mentioned to Chen Yang.
A clan of this level can stand equal with the major forces in the capital city, a good connection to have.
However, as always, Chen Yang has no intention of joining any force.
"I understand the Phoenix Clan leader’s intentions, but I truly have no thoughts of joining any forces at the moment," Chen Yang said.
Upon hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Feng Qingwu’s eyes.
Indeed, she came today to recruit Chen Yang.
After all, geniuses like Chen Yang are rare.
He is already considered a top-tier talent! For their clan, he is a very precious resource.
If they could recruit him into their clan, he would definitely become a great support in the future.
It’s just unfortunate that the person before them has no intention of joining any forces.
Chen Yang was always paying attention to Feng Qingwu’s changing expressions and seized the moment to say, "But I am quite interested in making friends! I would be very happy to become friends with the Phoenix Clan leader."
"I just wonder if the Phoenix Clan leader is willing."
Chen Yang spoke up voluntarily, expressing an intention to socialize.
Immediately, the disappointment in Feng Qingwu’s eyes vanished.
With Chen Yang’s talent, his future prospects are limitless.
Though regrettably unable to recruit him, making friends and forming good relations is still very necessary.
Maybe they could be of use later on.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen is joking. Nowadays, as a renowned figure in the cultivation world, there are many who want to befriend you. And with Fellow Daoist Chen giving our Phoenix Clan such face, of course, we would be willing," Feng Qingwu chuckled, naturally and freely.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please accept this,"
Feng Qingwu suddenly produced a round token from her storage space.
On it was engraved a character ’Phoenix’ in a flamboyant style.
The token’s format was very ancient and heavy.
Chen Yang did not know what this was.
"This is the universal token for our Phoenix Clan’s territory. With this token, Fellow Daoist Chen can visit anytime; our Phoenix Clan warmly welcomes you," Feng Qingwu saw Chen Yang’s confusion and proactively explained.
"Alright, then I’ll accept it," Chen Yang said after listening and didn’t stand on ceremony, accepting it directly.
Once knowing Chen Yang had no intentions of joining any factions, Feng Qingwu had fewer things to say.
After giving the token, she simply exchanged a few words before getting up to bid farewell.
Leaving with Feng Nihuang.
While seeing them off, Chen Yang noticed by chance that Feng Nihuang’s condition seemed a bit off.
However, this feeling was not very real.
Because they always maintained a distance and did not make contact, the feeling wasn’t very tangible.
"I must be mistaken," Chen Yang smiled, shook his head, and then turned to return indoors.
"Brother Chen Yang, you’re really something! Facing an invitation from the Phoenix Clan, but remaining unmoved, I admire you,"
Right upon entering the room, Ao Min enthusiastically voiced.
The raised thumb almost touched Chen Yang’s face.
"Hmph, is the Phoenix Clan really that powerful? What’s so good about joining them," He Xiran said indignantly, clearly displeased.
She gets along with everyone but particularly dislikes Feng Qingwu and Feng Nihuang.
The reason for her anger is obvious.
Clearly, she’s jealous.
"You little girl, what do you know? The Phoenix Clan is a top force among the beast race! Their family has passed down from ancient times to today, with incomparably deep heritage, and is truly powerful, don’t you think?" Ao Min said proudly.
Yet He Xiran was still full of disdain, "Hmph, what does that have to do with us? When our alliance grows strong, it won’t be any worse, right Chen Yang!"
Chen Yang, caught between laughter and tears, didn’t do anything, yet He Xiran seemed so displeased.
But he still nodded, "Hmm, Xiran is right, joining doesn’t have any great benefits, so what’s the point."
"You two..." Ao Min was momentarily speechless.
"Alright, alright, it’s getting late, let’s all rest," Chen Yang didn’t want to continue the conversation, so he hurriedly ended it.
The night passed without words.
The next day, the Divine Dragon Conference continued.
Ao Min and He Xiran didn’t qualify to enter the Divine Dragon Pool, so they could only attend the Divine Dragon Conference.
They would eat, drink, discuss philosophy, and take part in various events.
Whereas Chen Yang was qualified, so he set off early to follow the cranes and head to the depths of Divine Dragon Mountain, preparing to enter the Divine Dragon Pool.
The conference venue is in the front courtyard of Divine Dragon Mountain.
While the pool itself is located deep within the mountain.
On the way through the Dragon God Sect, Chen Yang saw many awe-inspiring sights.
The disciples of the Dragon God Sect generally had strong capabilities, and there were numerous buildings available for cultivation.
And their establishment was very complete.
Whatever one seeks can be found in a corresponding place.
If seeking cultivation techniques, the mountain has a dedicated cultivation technique hall, seeking elixirs, there’s an elixir palace...
Numerous establishments like these are plentiful.
As if the disciples living here need only focus on cultivation, nothing else is a concern.
"No wonder they say loose cultivators can’t compare with sect disciples; looking at it this way, the gap is indeed vast," Chen Yang mused to himself.
These sect-affiliated disciples have backing when they go out, and acquiring resources is much easier for them.
Not to mention, just these two aspects alone already make them much better than loose cultivators.
"Divine Dragon Mountain’s secret realm! Unauthorized entry is forbidden!"
Chen Yang was pondering this when suddenly a stern shout came from ahead.
Looking up, he’d reached the depths of Divine Dragon Mountain.
This place was a barrier, and the massive mountain range beyond was covered by a gigantic formation.
At the entrance to this formation stood two strong men clad in heavy armor, holding weapons.
That stern rebuke just now came from one of them.
