"Bai Ren, you've emerged from seclusion?" Outside, Lei Gong, who was training the immortal warriors, saw Zhang Bai Ren's figure.
"Yes, my seclusion is over, and I have reached the strength of the Sub-Father." Zhang Bairen answered truthfully.
"What!? How did your strength increase so much!?" Lei Gong was shocked by Zhang Bairen's answer.
Before going into seclusion, Zhang Bairen's most destructive power was only at the level of destroying a city.
How come after just over ten days, it's already reached the point of "washing the ground"?
"Well, my situation is rather special," Zhang Bairen said, conjuring phoenix power in his hand.

"Look, do you remember this energy?"
According to the inherited information, this is a special power known as the Phoenix Force.
"It is because of the power of the Phoenix that my strength has been able to rise directly to the level of a sub-father in such a short time," Zhang Bairen explained.
"The power of the phoenix? It seems somewhat familiar." Lei Gong, who was even older than the current Jade Emperor, began to recall.
He quickly came to the conclusion about the specifics of the Phoenix Force.
Long ago, the previous Jade Emperor, who possessed the power of the Heavenly Father, suddenly had a nightmare. He dreamt that the Phoenix Power, filled with destructive force, descended upon Earth, and a little girl successfully controlled the Phoenix Power, saving Earth from destruction.
So the Jade Emperor began searching for the little girl from his dream in Kunlun, and after finding her, he began to train and nurture her.
This little girl is none other than Wu Fengji, the strongest iron fist in history!
The Jade Emperor told Wu Fengji that he had foreseen the arrival of the Phoenix Power, but there were two possible outcomes: one was that Wu Fengji would control the Phoenix Power and become the White Phoenix; the other was that Wu Fengji would succumb to the Phoenix Power's destructive desires and become the Black Phoenix, ultimately destroying everything.
When the Phoenix Force descended upon Earth, Wu Fengji, relying on the ancient dragon power of Kunlun Shoulao, defeated the Phoenix Force head-on.
Then, using itself as a vessel, it sealed the largest fragment of the Phoenix Force before flying away from Earth and entering the depths of space.
To this day, no news has been received.
But Zhang Bairen knew that Wu Fengji had tamed the power of the phoenix and become one of the only three white phoenixes in the main universe.
Of course, she was also the earliest White Phoenix.
"Has the power of the Phoenix descended upon Earth once again?"
They even chose a descendant of Kunlun once again.
"However, since His Majesty is too young, he did not foresee the resurgence of the Phoenix Force?" Lei Gong thought to himself.
The current Jade Emperor is still in his prime and his strength has not yet reached the level of a Heavenly Father.
Therefore, it is understandable that he could not foresee the arrival of the Phoenix Power like the previous Jade Emperor.
I just don't know whether this Phoenix Power is good or bad, and why it's targeting my Kunlun Immortal Clan.
Lei Gong's mind was filled with many thoughts.
However, it was not expressed.
“Master Lei Gong, you continue with your work. I’ll go to the Lingxiao Palace first to report on my situation,” Zhang Bairen said.
Lei Gong is one of the oldest members of the Kunlun Immortal Clan.
At the same time, he is also the practical teacher for everyone in Kunlun.
Even the current Jade Emperor received practical training from the Thunder God.
Of course, once a member of the immortal race receives the inheritance of an immortal position, they must cultivate independently.
Lei Gong's teachings were nothing more than about mindset, practical combat, and experience.
As for immortal arts and immortal positions, it depends on their respective lineages.
For example, Zhang Bairen is a descendant of the Jade Emperor.
As long as one passes the test of succession, one can succeed to the position of Jade Emperor.
However, somewhat awkwardly, the current Jade Emperor has only been on the throne for a short time, less than a hundred years.
As a result, Zhang Bairen once again activated the Jade Emperor's legacy.
This situation put the current Jade Emperor in a very awkward position.
This also made the other members of the Immortal Clan very curious about Zhang Bairen.
They had never seen anything like it before: the supreme lineage of the Kunlun Immortal Clan had chosen two people at the same time.
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you!"
By the way, I'll go see Elder Shou later.
"You should consult Elder Shou about the Phoenix Power within you to see if there are any hidden dangers or problems," Lei Gong said openly.
“Okay, I understand.” Zhang Bairen nodded in agreement.
The two traveled together to the Lingxiao Palace in the highest city.
During the journey, Zhang Bairen asked Lei Gong about the general situation in the outside world.
Then, I received a definite answer.
As the Kunlun Immortal Clan dwindled and the outside world developed rapidly, starting with the previous Jade Emperor, Kunlun followed the arrangement of fate and began to contact the outside world, absorbing its elites and, through the power of the Elder of Longevity, helping ordinary people become members of the Immortal Clan.
Now, as contact deepens, the elite personnel coming from outside include not only Chinese, but also a very small number of foreigners.
Among them were also schemers with impure motives, as well as thieves and traitors.
The most famous is the five fingers of the Hand Association.
Believing they could not become immortals, they stole the remaining dragon bones of the old man's avatar.
Each generation of Tekken must kill a clone of Juro to obtain the power of the Ancient Dragon.
Besides the power of the ancient dragon, dragon blood and dragon bones are also valuable items.
Soaking in dragon's blood can make one's body indestructible.
Consuming dragon bone can rejuvenate one and prolong life.
Therefore, everything about Shou Lao is extremely precious.
The five fingers that stole the dragon bone are also the targets of Kunlun's constant pursuit.
Within China, there are outstanding disciples who have returned from studying martial arts at Kunlun and have joined special departments.
Outside of China, there is a force supported by Kunlun that is responsible for investigating and pursuing the Five Fingers of the Assassin Guild.
The Hong Gang is one of the external forces in Kunlun, specializing in handling various situations involving underground forces.
After listening to Lei Gong's introduction, Zhang Bairen's eyes were opened.
It turns out that Kunlun, which had no presence whatsoever, actually possessed such great power.
In this way, if you go out to search for Infinity Stones, you can also receive some financial and material assistance and enjoyment.
A few minutes later, the two arrived at the Lingxiao Palace on foot.
The Jade Emperor, clad in emerald green armor, was practicing martial arts, clearly showing no sign of slacking off.
It seems he knew he was overqualified, so he wore armor and trained diligently year after year.
All for the sake of reaching the level of the Heavenly Father as soon as possible, and reaching the normal level of the Lord of the Divine System as soon as possible.
"Oh, Lei Gong and Bai Ren, what brings you here?" The Jade Emperor, who had sheathed his sword, saw the two walking side by side.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Some time ago, while I was in seclusion, I obtained a portion of the Phoenix's power.
Through this power, I reached the level of the sub-father.
So, I'm here to give a report.
"Furthermore, now that I have the ability to protect myself, I want to go out and try my luck, to see what the outside world is like," Zhang Bairen said.
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor could no longer maintain his composure.
I practiced diligently every day, and that's how I reached the level of the Second Heavenly Father.
But you, with just one period of seclusion, have gained the favor of the Phoenix Force.
Wouldn't that make me look like a complete failure?
Thinking of this, the Jade Emperor spoke up directly: "Bai Ren, why don't you become the Jade Emperor?"
Now, you have caught up with me in terms of strength.
Moreover, you are younger than me, have more potential than me, and have even obtained the power of the phoenix.
In comparison, you are more suited to be the Jade Emperor of Kunlun.
"Let's wait a bit. I'm still young. I'll take over the Jade Emperor's position after I reach the level of the Heavenly Father."
I hope you'll work harder and strive to become a Godfather-level being before me.
"Otherwise, I won't be so polite!" Zhang Bairen replied with a smile.
"Ugh, this is such a headache."
You are so outstanding that it makes me seem incompetent.
"I don't feel comfortable sitting in this position!" the Jade Emperor sighed helplessly.
