THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

Feng Huang the Lightning Phoenix

***

Fang An simply opened his eyes because he could not sleep at all, occasionally he got up and sat staring out the window and only saw the light of the lantern lights lined up on the street.

Fang An himself actually while carrying his only family inheritance in the form of a necklace with a purple jewel pendulum, according to the story the necklace is a special hereditary treasure of the main Clan that is entitled to hold it.

The main Clan intent was the blood of Pure Clans like Fang Xian and Fang Yin, therefore Fang An was a pure blood descendant of the Fang Clan.

While the impure ones were the mixed blood between the Fang Clan and the outer Clan, an example was Fang Zui who was married to another Clan.

Fang An stroked his necklace pendulum, he was like he was daydreaming for a moment, only one was on his mind at the moment, when he could have a teacher like his friends in the Village.

Some of his generation of friends had already entered the Great Sect, only a few children had not entered including Fang An, it was because he had just reached the Yu Zao Level 3, which he had not yet entered, if he had already been able to reach the Yu Zao Level 6, perhaps he would have been very easily accepted by one of the Sects of the existing Green Land Continent.

"Buck…!"

Fang An who was still daydreaming staring at the hanging lantern lights was aghast in shock when he heard a sepuh voice echoing in his ear calling out the name of the boy, he looked left and right and turned his head back, looking back, but I saw no one but his bed.

"Who was talking?" fang An muttered after that his entire body started to creep in fear.

"Hehehe.. Don't be afraid boy, I just want to cheer you up!" say again the voice of the old man.

"She..ghantuu..!" fang An's face instantly turned pale as if he was bleeding out, due to his fear he immediately ran to his bed and took out a thick blanket covering his entire body hoping that the voice of the figure believed to be a ghost did not bother him anymore.

"Well..! I'm sorry I was wrong to greet you this way!" say the voice again and then the purple light from the necklace pendulum worn by Fang An let out a bright purple light inside the blanket used by Fang An.

Fang An was clearly startled, he instantly came out from within his blanket as well as noticed his glowing pendulum of necklace, fear and astonishment mixed in his mind.

Fang An had intended to release his necklace, but after that there was a mist coming out from within that purple light, a faint white-colored mist began to form a blackbird and the two bird eyes also emitted a bright purple glow like Wolf eyes that lit up on the night of the full moon.

Seeing the strange and amazing appearance, Fang An could not make a sound at all out of fear, even to move his fingers was heavy.

"Don't be afraid, I didn't mean anything bad to you! Finally after hundreds of years I can find someone who has the potential to replace me!" said the bird.

Fang An who was still thinking like a child certainly did not know what question he had to say to the bird whose figure was only half the fog, but Fang An still tried to dare himself to ask even if it was not from his mind.

"Si.who are you, a.what are you called Owls?" ask Fang An.

"Host Birds? I am not an owl son, my name is Feng Huang the Lightning Phoenix, I am just a thousand year old Spiritual Soul! Emm... How do I explain it to you? Tell you what, let's just say I'm your friend, later I'll tell you little by little after your mind is more mature, ee I mean after you start to understand, which is clear I'm not a ghost, but rather the living beings living inside the Spirit Core in your pendulum necklace, you understand what I meant earlier, Fang An?"

Fang An was stunned for a moment then noticed the bird named Feng Huang then looked at his pendulum necklace, he felt that everything was absurd, how could there be such a creature living inside such a small purple necklace pendulum, moreover, only this time did he see that there was a half-mist bird that could speak even though he himself did not understand the name of the Phoenix that was actually from the extinct Divine Beast race.

Actually, Fang An also did not fully have thoughts like children, he who had long enough to learn began to understand a concept such as the impossible could be possible, he said, like the example is his father's storage ring.

"I.iya, I understand!" fang An said but with a little nervousness.

"Good-bye, it seems like Lian Xiao's decision to give Fang Lin a Spirit Core was indeed appropriate, he did have a very accurate premonition! Alright now that we are friends, I will also help you practice, only I ask you to keep this meeting a secret, this time, and don't you ever tell anyone about my whereabouts including your mom and dad, can you keep this a secret?" asked Feng Huang.

"Yes sure!" fang An replied as well as giving himself to touch Feng Huang's feathers which were not fog-shaped.

"It turns out your wing feathers are very smooth and soft, I was afraid because it was a bit scary, but it turns out you are quite cute and adorable!" fang An said after he could feel the smoothness of the feathers on Feng Huang's wings.

"Murkey? If I show my true form, then that word Imut is it still possible to say?" asked Feng Huang.

"What do you mean?" ask Fang An.

"I deliberately appeared in this small size to be safer, my true form was larger than I would have imagined, if I wanted to I could change my body here, but this building will definitely be instantly destroyed because it will not fit with my body size!" said Feng Huang.

Feng Huang could only shake his head, he knew that Fang An was a child at the moment, so it took time and patience for his conversation to connect.

Feng Huang watched Fang An by surrounding him, occasionally he shook his head and said, "Five! Ah not ten more years maybe you can only reach that stage, with the help of my support it will probably be faster, at least you should be able to get to the Zi stage before ten years!" said Feng Huang.

The word (Zi) refers to the power stage, as the previous two were (Yu) and (Xu), if sorted into (Yu, Xu, Zi), while Fang An's own strength was currently at the (Yu) Zao Level 3 stage.

Feng Huang himself also could not continue to persist in his Spirit Core form, if he had found the right person to replace his strength to Fang An, then he could not wait for more than ten years, if he did not appear even once, his strength would slowly be absorbed by Fang An, if not immediately guided, it could be that Fang An would be a heretic, not to mention that Feng Huang still remembered that there were still people eyeing him on other continents, this was also his concern.

Before that figure from the other Continent came, then as much as possible Fang An would already have to master all of his strength and refine the Spirit Root Element of Fire and Lightning, as he could, thus the Sect members from other continents would no longer be able to seize it, either, it was precisely then that Fang An had to immediately clear the assassins himself as well as Lian Xiao from the Four Great Sects of the Bright Star Continent.

"Fang An, for now you still behave as usual, later I will speak in a voice without having to show myself, but you yourself also do not need to answer with words later you will be considered crazy, so just answer with your mind, because only you and I can, others won't be able to hear it!" said Feng Huang.

Feng Huang turned back into smog and entered into his Spirit Core, while Fang An returned to his bed and began to rest as it was late at night, moreover, he will leave early tomorrow with his father to meet the auctioneer in the city.

***

Chang Lan City was huge and vast, densely packed buildings filled the entire area within the city, only to remain in the middle of the city there was a special park to make it look very beautiful.

When the sun was already high enough, Fang Xian and Fang An as well as Fang Zui were already in front of a large building, the four-story building was all made of special wood and there was a whiteboard with the name of the Chang Kingdom Auction Center.

"Master Fang Zui, you've been awaited by Manager Chang Wuo Xi inside!" said a door guard.

"Thank you," Fang Zui said as well as giving the doorkeeper some silver pieces.

Fang An noticed what Fang Zui was doing then he pulled his father's sleeve while asking his father.

"Dad, why did uncle give money to the guard? Does uncle have a debt to him?" ask Fang An.

"It's not so An'er, your uncle gave him money as a token of thanks!" fang Xian replied.

"Oh, so if you want to say thank you, you have to give me money! Not giving money means we are ungrateful, right? Money can be made like that too!" fang An said with a mind that seemed to have new knowledge.

"Eee... Not like that either..! Ais.. the point depends on whether we want to give or not, otherwise it's okay, we just say thank you, just like that we can!" fang Xian said.

Fang An tilted his head at Fang Xian's explanation, whereas Fang Zui who was walking in front of them only chuckled to himself looking at Fang Xian who had difficulty giving an explanation to his son.

The three of them had now been in front of the door of the room guarded by two people, while around the room were several people chatting with each other.

"I Fang Zui would like to see Manager Chang Wuo Xi!" fang Zui said to the guards.

The two guards immediately bowed then opened the door for them, after the three of them entered, the door was again closed.

"Manager Chang Wuo, we've come!" fang Zui said to a middle-aged man who was sitting looking at the list of records on the table, he was Chang Wuo Xi, the person trusted to manage as well as the auction organizer.

"Let's Mr. Fang, please sit down! Owh so this is what Mu Sha said, you must be Master Fang Xian? I am Chang Wuo Xi the manager here!" chang Wuo Xi said with both hands cupped.

"It's an honor to meet Mr. Chang!" fang Xian replied.

Chang Wuo Xi looked towards Fang An who was standing beside Fang Xian, as soon as Fang An saw Chang Wuo Xi looking at him, Fang An immediately bowed his body in greeting.

"Hahaha. good boy, he must be a learned boy! Come on please sit down we will start discussing the items that Master Fang Xian wants to auction at your place!" chang Wuo Xi said.

Fang Xian turned to Fang Zui and then the three of them besides Fang An started to talk about the items that Fang Xian was going to auction off, he said, fang An was silent as it was all an old man's business.
