Long Yan was left dumbfounded by Yun Huang's words. What was Xueyao? Why had he never heard of it before?
Yun Huang patiently explained to Long Yan that, according to legend, the dragon had nine offspring, and this was common knowledge among all cultivators. However, the phoenix also had children—a fact that few were aware of. Yun Huang herself had only come across sparse mentions of this in ancient texts.
Generally, the world knew very little about this matter. Moreover, the nine children of the phoenix, all god-beasts, were reluctant to roam the mortal realm. Although the phoenix's nature was as fiery as its namesake, its children displayed starkly different temperaments. Xueyao, for instance, was a peace-loving god-beast. Yet, why it appeared atop Tianshan Peak was a mystery to all.
