Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2136

After a brief silence, the Primordial Phoenix finally spoke, "Though I cannot punish you for luring the Rising Phoenix Clan to your side, I can certainly punish you for slandering the Celestial Emperor's name."

"Just because you refuse to believe it doesn't make it slander," Yuan replied calmly. "Still, if you wish to fight, I'll be more than willing to oblige."

The Primordial Phoenix silently swept his gaze over Yuan and the others in the chamber. Alongside Yuan and Feng Yuxiang stood Feng Lingyang, Feng Haoyu, and the Grand Elder. Though his cultivation surpassed them all, he ultimately chose not to act.

"You should be grateful the Celestial Emperor forbade me from touching you," the Primordial Phoenix said. "At least, for now."

Yuan raised his brows in surprise."Oh? The Celestial Emperor told you not to fight me? How unusual... or perhaps he intends to deal with me personally?"

"The Celestial Emperor has far more important matters than wasting time on an insect like you." The Primordial Phoenix sneered, then turned and strode toward the exit.

"Of course, the same goes for me."

After saying that, the Primordial Phoenix left the room and disappeared from the summit shortly after.

"So... what now?" Feng Yuxiang turned to look at Yuan and asked.

"Let's return to the Rising Phoenix Clan for now," he said.

"Alright."

As they traveled, Yuan said, "I will fulfill my promise to you and strengthen the entire Rising Phoenix Clan. Once we arrive, can you gather everyone for me?"

Feng Lingyang immediately nodded in agreement.

Before long, they returned to the Rising Phoenix Clan's territory. At Yuan's request, Feng Lingyang swiftly summoned every member of the clan. Yet even before she could announce the results of their journey, the clan members already understood the outcome, as Yuan's very presence within their grounds spoke louder than words.

"As you may have already realized, your leader has accepted my offer. From this day forward, the Rising Phoenix Clan stands under my command."

"If you are unwilling to follow me, I will grant you the chance to leave now," Yuan declared. "There is no need for words or explanations-simply depart in silence, and no punishment will follow."

He then stood in patient silence, giving time to those who wished to go. After several minutes, a handful of figures quietly took to the skies, vanishing into the distance without a trace. Yet, despite their departure, the overwhelming majority of the clan remained.

"Anyone else?" he asked.

When the remaining members shook their heads, Yuan nodded. "Very well. As a reward for choosing to stand with me, I will bestow upon you all a blessing."

With a single gesture, Yuan directed his will toward the gathered clan members. At once, the heavens above bloomed with radiant golden symbols, each one pulsing with profound might.

"Those who choose to serve me, accept the Immortal Monarch's symbol. From that moment forth, you shall be my followers, and my decree shall be your law."
