In the drizzling rain.
Lin Yan stood before Xiao Bai's grave, allowing himself to drench in the rain.
He had a white jade vase in his hand.
At this moment, a mist of constantly flickering rays within this jade vase could be vaguely seen.
"Xiao Bai, this is the soul essence …refined from the Lord of Seven Great Demon Empire."
After saying that, Lin Yan placed the jade vase before Xiao Bai's grave.
The flickering rays inside the vase instantly turned into a single ray, flew out, and began to spread in all directions.
The rain flowed down Lin Yan's cheeks, making it unclear whether it was rain or his tears.
…
(In front of the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
"Soul essence. This is the soul essence refined from an immortal! If it is used to assist in cultivation, it is enough for one's cultivation to rise further."
The crowd looked at Lin Yan, who didn't hesitate to open this bottle of soul essence, allowing the soul essence inside to drift away.
When they saw it, their hearts ached severely.
Treasures like soul essence could only be refined from the souls of powerful cultivators above the Sage Realm.
Its efficacy wasn't only enhancing the soul power but could even boost the cultivator's enlightenment.
Such a bottle of soul essence was enough to exchange for an immortal weapon.
However, Lin Yan offered the little fox a precious soul essence just like that.
To many people, it was a pure waste.
…
"Xiao Bai, I should have stayed here to accompany you, but I promised certain someone something …After I'm done, I will return."
In the rain, Lin Yan's lips moved.
And the jade vase in front of him was still continuously dispersing soul essence.
Of course, he was aware how precious the Soul Essence was.
But what if it was precious? Even if he killed the Seven Great Demon Empire a hundred times again, Xiao Bai …still couldn't come back to him.
Lin Yan stood before Xiao Bai's grave and continued to speak.
Only when the rain cleared did he slowly turn around and walk toward the distance.
When he walked to the edge of this mountain forest, he couldn't help but look back.
This time, there was no more Xiao Bai's figure in the distance. Instead, there was only a small grave.
After staring at the distant grave for a moment, Lin Yan turned back abruptly, and his figure launched into the sky.
…
A month ago, Lin Yan finally agreed to join the Heavenly Palace after Xiao Mei's persuasion.
But his condition was for the Heavenly Palace first to help him kill the Lord of Seven Great Demon Empire.
If the Lord of Seven Great Demon Empire didn't die, he couldn't avenge Xiao Bai.
Xiao Mei agreed to Lin Yan's condition very simply.
One month later.
It was today that Xiao Mei delivered him the bottle of soul essence.
Judging from the aura emitted from the soul essence, this bottle of soul essence was indeed the one refined from the Lord of the Seven Great Demon Empire.
According to the agreement, Lin Yan would join the Heavenly Palace the day he was delivered the soul essence.
…
Just after Lin Yan left, a faint flame suddenly rose on Xiao Bai's grave.
This flame, little by little, absorbed the soul essence that was scattered around, and the flame grew more and more intense.
A phoenix with huge wings slowly coalesced out in the flame, emitting a silent shrill cry.
The Phoenix!
Nirvana!
…
(In front of the Linglong Treasure Mirror)
The crowd stared at this scene with wide-open eyes.
A creepy and frightening feeling filled their minds.
It couldn't be!
Almost everyone's mind echoed with these three words.
What was in front of them made them reluctant to believe.
But the scene inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror made them believe in a fact.
That was, Xiao Bai had resurrected.
Moreover, it was a real Phoenix.
"The Phoenix."
Everyone snapped back and looked at the Demon Queen sitting on the flaming throne.
In the Lingxuan Continent, there could only be one Phoenix, the Demon Queen.
Xiao Bai had resurrected and turned into a Phoenix.
What about the Demon Queen?
Who was she?
In fact, almost everyone in their minds immediately came up with the answer.
But they didn't want to believe it.
It was this situation that was too bizarre.
The Demon Queen was the powerhouse in the Lingxuan Continent.
If she was Xiao Bai, would she be like Xiao Yanran and directly turn against them?
If she did, they would have difficulty dealing with her.
…
Pain.
The Demon Queen, at this moment, didn't care about the strange eyes around her.
At this moment, in her mind, it felt like a million needles were pricking every inch of her.
But with this pain, a completely unfamiliar memory suddenly emerged in her mind.
