"Let me lead the way for you."
Liu Qingqing flew to the front of the spirit boat, guiding the direction for Han Feng.
The Green Phoenix tribe was also a famous top-tier race in the Beast Region, possessing many vassals under their command, stronger than the Nether Blood Tiger tribe.
However, the Green Phoenix tribe did not like conflict and belonged to the hermit families. The environment within the tribal ground was quiet and secluded, completely devoid of the gloomy atmosphere of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe.
Of course, this was also related to the habits of magical beasts themselves. The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python tribe adapted well to caves surrounded by yin energy; placing them elsewhere would be detrimental to their growth.
Han Feng himself preferred the living environment of the Green Phoenix tribe.
With the huge Green Phoenix divine bird leading the way in front, entering the Green Phoenix tribal ground might have encountered some obstacles originally, but with Liu Qingqing flying in front, they had a direct pass.
Han Feng and the others landed on a flat mountain peak.
The spirit boat was put away, and several people stood on the flat ground.
Liu Qingqing transformed into a woman in green clothes in mid-air, with a beautiful appearance and dignified temperament.
She came to Han Feng and bowed slightly.
"Welcome to the Green Phoenix tribe."
"This is the Green God Mountain Range, inhabited by the direct descendants of my Green Phoenix tribe. Most of them have never left the tribal ground and are seeing outsiders for the first time today, so they might be curious. Please be tolerant."
Han Feng nodded.
It wasn't his first time coming to the Green Phoenix tribe. In his previous life, he had come with his junior sister.
However, he didn't see Liu Qingqing at that time but met Mu Qingluan's mother.
Han Feng and the others followed Liu Qingqing into the Green God Mountain Range. In the jungles on both sides, on the branches, two small green birds jumped out from time to time, chirping.
The Green God Mountain Range was the core area of the Green Phoenix tribe, very safe with no other powerful species invading, so it was very suitable for young Green Phoenixes to survive.
Continuing deeper, after Han Feng walked past a small path, the view quickly opened up. A huge palace was built in the forest, carving out a world of free galloping out of thin air.
On the square in front of the palace, there were some Green Phoenixes already transformed into human form, and some young Green Phoenixes with small bodies still growing.
Eighty percent of the direct bloodline of the Green Phoenix were female. The very few males had relatively weak bloodline power, so their status was not very high, generally only playing a role when mating for offspring.
To cultivate pure-blooded Green Phoenixes, these male Green Phoenixes were often sent to the Green Rock Canyon with harsh conditions for training after birth.
Only by raising their bloodline to the extreme could they catch up with the bloodline concentration of female Green Phoenixes and meet the conditions for mating.
If one side had thin bloodline and the other had thick bloodline, it would be better to wait for transformation and intermarry with geniuses of other races; the offspring born would not be weak.
Strength determined the status of members in the group. In the current Green Phoenix tribe, the three Dou Venerates were all female. The strongest member among the male Green Phoenixes was only a five-star Dou Ancestor. This situation largely determined the future development route of the race.
Sending Mu Qingluan to the Falling Star Pavilion for cultivation was also hoping she would walk out of the Green Phoenix tribal ground and see more of the outside world.
There were countless geniuses in the Central Plains. If she could find a suitable husband, it would certainly be better than marrying within the clan.
Now all races had bloodline crises. Finding a new way out was something the Green Phoenix tribe had to prepare for early.
"The Green Phoenix Divine Palace is ahead. Little Mu, your mother is still in seclusion, you might not see her today."
Liu Qingqing said to Mu Qingluan.
Mu Qingluan looked somewhat disappointed.
"But your father is in the palace today. You can go see him."
Liu Qingqing continued.
Mu Qingluan immediately recovered from her disappointment.
"Is Father in the clan today?"
Generally, male Green Phoenixes cultivated and lived in the Green Rock Canyon, rarely coming to the Green Phoenix Divine Palace.
"En, he just broke through to the Dou Ancestor realm and came to receive the bloodline baptism, preparing to transform."
Mu Qingluan's mother was a Green Phoenix at the eight-star Dou Ancestor realm. The partner she sought was a male Green Phoenix ranked in the top ten of the same period.
The combination of the two gave birth to Mu Qingluan.
In Mu Qingluan's memory, her father was very gentle, while her mother was stricter.
Because she returned to the clan very few times, and her father often retreated for bitter cultivation in the Green Rock Canyon, the opportunities for father and daughter to meet were very few.
Thinking that she could finally see her father this time, Mu Qingluan was joyful in her heart.
Father finally broke through to become a Dou Ancestor!In this way, he can also transform into human form, and going to the human world will be much more convenient. There was a rule in the clan that after a male Green Phoenix broke through to Dou Ancestor, he didn't need to continue bitter cultivation in the Green Rock Canyon and could arrange his own cultivation rhythm.
That meant Mu Qingluan could take her father to visit the Central Plains in the future.
When the family of three traveled together, Mu Qingluan still looked forward to that kind of life.
Mu Qingluan ran excitedly towards the Green Phoenix Divine Palace, and Han Feng and the others followed behind her.
"So cute."
Lin Xian'er and the others walked together, looking at the little Green Phoenixes on the square, and couldn't help saying.
Some bold little Green Phoenixes flapped their wings and flew in front of Qing Lin, shaking their little heads, looking at her curiously.
"Chirp chirp!"
The little Green Phoenixes opened their mouths and called. They couldn't speak human language yet; only people in the clan could understand what they were saying.
Qing Lin carefully extended her hand and touched the fluffy head of the little Green Phoenix.
"So soft."
Lin Xian'er's eyes lit up, and she also extended her hand to stroke.
More and more Green Phoenix cubs gathered around, calling enthusiastically to Lin Xian'er and the others.
"Alright, alright, don't scare the guests."
At this time, an old woman walked over, waved her arm, and the little Green Phoenixes immediately flew towards her.
The old woman held a handful of spirit rice in her hand, emitting an enticing aroma.
"Hello, I am an elder of the Green Phoenix tribe, Qing Li. You can call me Granny Qing."
"Hello, Granny Qing."
Lin Xian'er and the others greeted Qing Li.
"The Green Phoenix tribe hasn't had outsiders for a long time. You are the first batch in nearly ten years."
Qing Li said with a smile.
She took out a handful of spirit rice and put it into the hands of Qing Lin and the others.
"The little Green Phoenixes are still very friendly. You can interact with them more."
Perhaps the little Green Phoenixes on the square weren't full in the morning. Seeing spirit rice in the hands of Qing Lin and the others, they quickly gathered around again.
Inside the Green Phoenix Divine Palace, Mu Qingluan, Han Feng, and Liu Qingqing entered first.
The decoration inside was grand. Some mature Green Phoenix birds walked inside, their gazes all on a round platform in the center of the main hall.
On the round platform, a transformed Green Phoenix divine bird was lecturing and imparting the Dao.
The main hall was large, and the arrival of Han Feng and the others did not cause much disturbance.
"Aunt Liu! Where is Father?"
"Follow me."
Liu Qingqing took the two to the second floor.
The environment on the second floor was quieter than the first floor. All the Green Phoenix birds kept silent, finding a place and starting to cultivate.
Liu Qingqing came to a stone door and knocked gently.
"Please come in!"
A gentle voice came from inside the stone door.
Liu Qingqing pushed open the door, took Mu Qingluan's hand, and walked in.
"Brother Mu Ling, look who I brought?"
Inside the stone door, a huge green divine bird folded its wings, calming the aura around its body.
Seeing Liu Qingqing, Mu Ling was somewhat surprised.
However, before he could speak, Mu Qingluan walked up from behind Liu Qingqing.
The moment he saw Mu Qingluan, Mu Ling's body shook fiercely.
"Little Mu!"
"Father."
Mu Qingluan blinked and looked at the huge Green Phoenix in front of her with a smile.
Although the two hadn't seen each other for many years, Mu Qingluan recognized him at first glance.
"It's really you..."
Mu Ling's voice was choked with emotion. As a father, the time he spent with Mu Qingluan was pitifully little.
"Grown so big."
Mu Ling looked at Mu Qingluan and murmured.
Mu Qingluan could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart, rushed towards him with a stride, and threw herself into her father's warm chest.
Mu Ling hadn't transformed yet. He hugged Qingluan with his huge wings. From his perspective, Mu Qingluan was just a tiny one, covered by even one of his feathers.
"Father, Aunt Liu said you broke through to Dou Ancestor?"
"That's right."
Mu Ling nodded heavily.
In these years, he cultivated day and night, finally living up to his painstaking efforts, allowing him to break through the threshold of Dou Ancestor.
One should know that even in the entire Green Phoenix tribe, Dou Ancestor was a mainstay.
Breaking through to Dou Ancestor, his actions in the future would be much more convenient, and the clan rules would become looser for him.
"Then let's go to the Central Plains to play together in the future. I found many fun places in the Southern Region."
Mu Qingluan said happily.
"Okay, okay, okay. When I successfully transform, I will do whatever you say."
Mu Ling said dotingly.
Letting his daughter cultivate outside for more than ten years, even if it was a decision made by the clan together and a good thing for Mu Qingluan, as a father, he felt somewhat guilty in his heart.
Failing to accompany her through a complete childhood; seeing her again now, according to human rules, Mu Qingluan was almost an adult.
"This is..."
The father and daughter chatted for a while, expressing the greetings in their hearts. Mu Ling finally noticed Han Feng's existence.
"This is my Senior Brother, Han Feng!"
Mu Qingluan introduced actively.
So it's a cultivator from the Falling Star Pavilion! Mu Ling hurriedly greeted Han Feng.
"Uncle is too polite. Qingluan hasn't seen you for a long time, spend some good time with her this time."
Han Feng said with a smile.
A teenage girl still cared about family affection in her heart.
Liu Qingqing and Han Feng left the space to the father and daughter, walking out of the room together.
"Mr. Han Feng, is Wind Venerate doing well now?"
"Martial Uncle is doing well in everything. Thank you, Elder Liu, for your concern."
Liu Qingqing nodded slightly.
"We should be the ones thanking. Falling Star Pavilion cultivated Little Mu so outstandingly. Reaching Tier 6 in her teenage years would be absolutely impossible in the clan."
"Elder Liu should not underestimate Qingluan's own talent. She is excellent."
"Naturally."
Liu Qingqing replied.
"If Qingluan's talent weren't excellent, Sister wouldn't bear to send her to the Central Plains."
The two chatted all the way, walked out of the main hall, and came to the square.
At this time, Lin Xian'er and the others were playing with the little Green Phoenixes. Ye Qingyun stood aside, communicating with an old woman.
"The Green Phoenix tribe has more females than males. The balance of bloodline power in the future is a trouble."
Han Feng said.
Liu Qingqing looked worried and sighed softly.
As one of the three Dou Venerates in the clan, Liu Qingqing viewed the seriousness of this problem more profoundly than others in the clan.
"This has been a problem since ancient times. The bloodline power of men in the Green Phoenix tribe is naturally thin. They must undergo extremely arduous cultivation to catch up with the bottom line of bloodline inheritance. If not for the men in the clan willing to struggle like this, perhaps a thousand years ago, the Green Phoenix tribe would have declined."
Transformed people were a minority after all. In the Green Phoenix tribe, too many clansmen did not qualify for transformation throughout their lives.
The upper layer could only represent the upper layer, not the lower layer.
If there was no intervention in advance, perhaps when the problem was discovered, the entire family would have already experienced a severe strength gap.
A good example was the Xiao Clan in the Nanli Empire. After a thousand years, there was no successor in the clan. If not for Han Feng's help allowing Xiao Tianbao to break through to Dou Venerate, their ending might have been miserable.
"There will always be a solution."
Han Feng comforted.
"Hope so."
Liu Qingqing cheered herself up secretly.
There were many things in the world that couldn't be solved by strength alone.
Even though she had cultivated to Dou Venerate, she still had no clue how to solve the problem troubling the clan for thousands of years.
Han Feng smiled gently.
He certainly had a method, but how to make the Green Phoenix tribe accept it was a problem.
The Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame could refine magical beast bloodlines. This effect was useless to humans, but very strong for magical beasts.
However, in the refining process, all Green Phoenix tribe members needed to let go of their defenses and accept the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame into their bodies.
If Han Feng did it forcibly, he could achieve this point, just like the wild Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame could easily manipulate monster beasts into madness in the Purple Fragment Ruins back then.
But this matter itself was for the good of the Green Phoenix tribe; Han Feng certainly couldn't force it.
Otherwise, a good thing would turn into a bad thing in the end.
Helping others had limits; one couldn't impose one's own ideas on others. If the Green Phoenix tribe was unwilling, Han Feng naturally wouldn't wade into this muddy water.
Contact for two days first, talk about it when Qingluan leaves. Han Feng thought in his heart.
Anyway, a day or two wouldn't make a difference. Observe the situation of the Green Phoenix tribe first.
For Mu Qingluan's sake, Han Feng still tended to help this group.
"Let's go, I'll take Mr. Han to the living place first."
Liu Qingqing said.
"That is Granny Qing, the High Priest in the clan. She will entertain those girls well."
Han Feng nodded and left with Liu Qingqing.
Arriving at the living place, Han Feng looked at the surrounding environment first, then arranged basic formations, sat cross-legged, and continued to refine the Dou Saint puppet.
In the evening, Lin Xian'er and the others also came to the residence. At the same time, people from the Green Phoenix tribe brought dinner for Han Feng and the others to enjoy.
"It wasn't easy for Qingluan to reunite with her family. We'll stay here for a few days to give her some time to accompany her family."
During dinner, Han Feng said to the group.
The girls nodded in agreement, expressing understanding.
"Master, Granny Qing told us that there is a place specifically for practicing flying techniques in the Green Phoenix tribal ground. We plan to go see it tomorrow."
Lin Xian'er said.
"Okay, stay safe."
Han Feng said with a smile.
The Green Phoenix tribe was among the best in terms of speed.
That Granny Qing being willing to guide was a good thing.
