Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1823 Deng Chanyu is greedy; she wants it all.

Under Longji's guidance, the first spell Yuxiao used was not a common Five Elements spell, but a rather profound spatial spell. She could attach the spell to the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and when she swung the weapon, it would create a powerful spatial tearing effect.

Longji, who was practically a teacher, was dumbfounded. She finally knew who Yuxiao's biological parents were.

Longji guessed Yuxiao's background, and his gaze towards her became even more friendly.

Yu Xiao is easygoing and has a bold spirit that says, "I'd rather take the straightforward path than the crooked one."

Longji admired her personality. Her biological father, mother, and even Phoenix were all cunning characters. The Heavenly Court was a breeding ground for hypocrisy, and it took several rounds of deliberation to understand the deeper meaning behind a subordinate's words. She found it incredibly exhausting, so she naturally preferred the simple-minded Yuxiao.

The two hit it off as they talked, and even considered becoming sworn brothers.

Seniority? The seniority system at Taiyuan Cave on Mount Emei has always been chaotic, with each place having its own rules, so this isn't really an issue!
Yunxiao had no idea that her precious daughter hadn't followed the path she had planned, but instead had gotten involved with Longji. She and Deng Chanyu were drinking a magical wine with effects comparable to a sixth-grade immortal pill. They didn't need to suppress it with magic power; they could absorb it entirely through their bodies. As they drank, they became a little drunk.

I didn't know beforehand, but once we started drinking, I realized that neither of us could hold our liquor very well.

Xiao Wu and Yuan Xiao had already run away, while Bi Xiao was still cheering on the fighting Iron-Eating Beasts. Xiao Qing Luan, the shared employee, could only carefully serve from the sidelines, doing things like pouring drinks.

Yunxiao suddenly touched her little head and said inexplicably, "She is indeed beautiful, pitiful to behold, and most importantly, she has a kind of otherworldly charm. You made the right choice in choosing her."

Little Qingluan knelt to the side, blinking her eyes. Was the Empress talking about me? Upon closer inspection, she realized she was indeed quite beautiful; she must be referring to me!

To receive the Empress's approval is wonderful!
If the circumstances had allowed, she would have burst out laughing three times.

Deng Chanyu knew perfectly well that Yunxiao was referring to Daji.

She didn't want to give up either of them. What she experienced in Daji was family affection, her past experiences, and most importantly, humanity. What she understood in Yunxiao was the Dao Heart. Both were important, but at her current level, humanity was more important.

If it really comes down to a choice between the two, she has no choice but to let go of Yunxiao.

She also reached out to touch the little blue phoenix's head, but Yunxiao decisively withdrew her hand just before she did.

Deng Chanyu said softly, "I don't agree with you. What do you mean by alluring and pitiful? It's not like that at all. The main problem is that I have face blindness and have no idea whether someone is pretty or not."

She explained her original intention: she didn't care about appearance; she only valued the trials and tribulations she had gone through with Daji.

Yunxiao sighed, realizing that he lacked the "experience" of Daji's constant companionship, and was ultimately inferior in Deng Chanyu's eyes.

Little Qingluan didn't understand the deeper meaning in Deng Chanyu's words. She clenched her little fists, turned around sharply, and glared angrily at Deng Chanyu. What did she mean? Am I not pretty enough? Are you blind?! If I weren't so weak, I would have kicked you.
Yunxiao was clearly drunk, and she said things she wouldn't normally say. She put her hand on the shared employee's head again, and Deng Chanyu tacitly withdrew her hand in advance.

Yunxiao said, "Perhaps you are right, but what should I do? I have a sword of wisdom in my heart. Would you like to see if this sword is sharp?"

Little Qingluan's head was like some kind of microphone; she pulled her hand back, and Deng Chanyu's hand pressed down again. After these two rounds, Little Qingluan's hair was already starting to look like a bird's nest.

"I don't want to see Huijian, and I don't think you do either."

A hint of sorrow appeared on Yunxiao's face: "But how can I face the criticism of the world?"

"The affairs of the world are in my hands, and I will do them now. Who dares to disobey?" Deng said domineeringly.

Yunxiao reminded her, "You're not a saint yet. Don't you think it's arrogant to say such things?"

Deng Chanyu said with certainty, "I can be."

If Yunxiao feels she cannot face the many criticisms in the prehistoric world, she can skip the opportunity of the Journey to the West and directly use her merits to become a saint right now. In at most three hundred years, she can complete the unification of the three corpses and the subsequent work of proving the Dao and achieving Hunyuan.

Yunxiao shook his head repeatedly: "Don't talk nonsense. All the arrangements have been made. How can we give up so easily?"

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand from the little blue phoenix-shaped "microphone," Deng Chanyu used spatial magic to grab her hand first: "All things originate from me, the sin is mine, the slander is mine, the scorn is mine, and the evil is also mine."

Little Qingluan knelt there obediently, her clear eyes full of confusion. She looked left and right. Were these two big shots talking about me? Something doesn't seem right.

After they expressed their feelings for each other, the conversation finally became more normal, and at this point, the "microphone" was no longer needed.

Yunxiao waved his hand, and the little blue phoenix went to get the new wine, completely bewildered.

As she was leaving, she overheard Yunxiao complaining: "Compared to others, Xiao Wu is actually very well-behaved. That year, Bixiao secretly released the cranes from Jinling Cave because Jinling said a few words to her. Actually, what she said wasn't too harsh, but Bixiao felt that she had lost face. Since she lost face, I, as the eldest sister, had to stand up for her. Sigh, it's tough."

Little Qingluan suddenly realized, "I was wondering why it felt so strange. So you were talking about Lady Bixiao behind her back!"
Deng Chanyu and Yunxiao arrived at a hidden place deep within the chaos, the River of Regret.

The River of Regret is not a river, but a time-like domain forcibly created by numerous chaotic demons using their own power. It is said that time here can only go backward, not forward or backward, so whether the River of Regret has any effect on time is still unknown.

When Zhunti fell into the River of Regret, he almost had his existence erased. Deng Chanyu and Yunxiao were naturally no match for saints. They dared not truly come into contact with this mysterious space and could only borrow a little of the River of Regret's additional functions from the outermost edge.

Yunxiao had absorbed a lot of chaotic spiritual energy and wanted to come here to test the strength of his Dao heart.

Deng Chanyu also has a problem. With the journey to the West imminent, she is hesitant. Will her idea of ​​wasting time and going with the flow succeed? If it doesn't, won't she have to take the old path of achieving sainthood through merit? It would be a real pity to waste hundreds or thousands of years.

The hesitation I showed when we talked about achieving sainthood through good deeds while drinking was an outward manifestation of this kind of doubt.

Yunxiao decisively discovered the problem. After a brief analysis, the two agreed that the problem should be solved immediately and should not be delayed. This led to the trip to the River of Regret.
