Along the way, Ming Shen True Master marveled at the arrangement of the Cave Mansion.
When he saw several arrays in the inner layer of the Cave Mansion.
Ming Shen True Masterâs expression changed.
"These arrays, were they set up by Fellow Daoist Profound Ice?"
Shen Xuan nodded with a smile.
Ming Shen True Masterâs expression suddenly changed.
"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, youâve been researching Array Dao?"
"I know a bit about it."
Shen Xuan was unwilling to discuss this further and changed the topic.
"Brother Ming Shen, letâs go inside and talk."
"Alright."
Ming Shen True Master finally realized.
Earlier, he had carelessly violated the taboo of high tier cultivators.
Probing into the otherâs protective methods.
In the main hall, Shen Xuan prepared the tea.
"This is Frost Drizzle Spiritual Tea, which has the effect of nourishing the spirit and enlightening the Dao. Fellow Daoist Ming Shen, please savor it carefully."
Ming Shen True Master took a sip and exclaimed: "Good tea!"
He was a Fire Cultivator.
This Frost Drizzle Spiritual Tea, perfectly neutralized the heat within his body.
"If Brother Ming Shen likes it, take a can back with you later."
The Frost Drizzle Tea trees Shen Xuan planted grew successfully.
He could harvest over ten pounds every year.
This time, he brought more than eighty pounds when he went out.
He used only three tea leaves per cup of Spiritual Tea.
He used up three to five pounds a year.
The rest was perfect for currying favors.
"Then many thanks, Fellow Daoist Profound Ice."
Ming Shen True Master was not polite.
The two exchanged pleasantries.
Ming Shen True Master revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, did you completely break the Daoist Forbidden Technique in Yang Huofengâs dantian yesterday?"
Ming Shen True Masterâs voice carried a hint of anticipation.
Ever since ten years ago, when he was appointed at a critical moment, bringing parts of the Fire Cloud Sectâs inheritance and some carefully selected young disciples, trekking over mountains and rivers to this Yue Country, he hadnât had a good day.
Especially upon hearing that True Master Spiritual Essence failed in Nascent Soul Formation, and the Demonic Wing Giant Roc led demonic birds to break through Fire Cloud Immortal City and the sectâs mountain gate, where all his fellow senior brothers perished, it was heart-wrenching.
Even though ten years had passed.
He still frequently thought of the fellow senior brothers with whom he once studied and cultivated.
Who ended up buried within the Demonic Wing Giant Roc, such a tragic fate.
Eyes welled up with tears uncontrollably.
He was getting on in years.
Although he was at the late stage of the True Pill.
His path had ended, no chance to advance further.
Couldnât even achieve True Pill Perfection.
Let alone the great Dao of Nascent Soul.
Now, he was no longer the revered senior True Master of the Fire Cloud Sect.
Just a stray dog.
Living under someone elseâs roof, without any foundation.
The only reason he kept forcing himself to endure, clinging to survival.
Was his unwavering belief in the revitalization of the sect.
Shen Xuanâs arrival was no different than a shot of adrenaline for him.
Now that a glimmer of hope appeared, how could he not be excited?
"Indeed. Yang Huofeng was lucky. Last night, I completely broke the Daoist Forbidden Technique in her dantian."
Shen Xuan took a sip of tea, speaking slowly.
"Then, what about the commotion last night?"
"Yang Huofeng has an extraordinary foundation, with a trace of Divine Bird Phoenixâs bloodline. I suspect she is a human from the Spirit Realm who descended here."
Shen Xuanâs words left Ming Shen True Master dumbfounded.
For a while.
He cautiously asked: "Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, this matter is of great importance. Itâs not that I doubt you. But, the fact that Yang Huofeng has a trace of Divine Bird Phoenixâs bloodline, is that true?"
Shen Xuan glanced at Ming Shen True Master.
"Absolutely true. However, donât hold too much hope. That trace of bloodline is very faint."
Shen Xuan himself had cultivated the Nirvana Phoenix Body.
This sense originating from the true spirit bloodline could never be wrong.
"Thatâs great!"
Ming Shen True Master couldnât hide his joy.
"True Master Primordial Fire wasnât wrong. Indeed, the revitalization of the sect falls upon this Yang Huofeng!"
The Divine Bird Phoenixâs bloodline, no matter how faint, is not to be underestimated.
Her talent and aptitude are comparable to the Immortal Spirit Root.
Especially since the Fire Cloud Sect mainly uses Fire Attribute cultivation techniques, itâs extremely compatible with the Divine Bird Phoenix bloodline.
If Yang Huofeng could successfully form a Golden Core, the sectâs revival is just around the corner.
Ming Shen True Master, excitedly asked: "By the way, Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, why was there such a commotion last night? Is there anything wrong with Yang Huofengâs body?"
"No."
Shen Xuan pondered and said: "The person who sealed Yang Huofeng, had profound Daoist Technique. He left a gap in the seal."
"Though it isolated most of the Spiritual Qi, the impact on Yang Huofeng wasnât significant."
"When unsealing the restriction, Yang Huofengâs Phoenix bloodline awakened simultaneously, stimulating her potential."
"I imprinted True Master Primordial Fireâs True Technique and Divine Soul Brand into her sea of consciousness. At present, her realm cultivation is at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer."
After listening to Shen Xuanâs words, Ming Shen True Master felt it was incredible.
"Already at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer? Thatâs too fast, Yang Huofeng is not yet sixteen."
"Yang Huofengâs physique is very different from ours. So, I suspect she is a human from the Spirit Realm, though how she descended here is unknown."
"Impossible!"
Ming Shen True Master shook his head and said: "The passage from our Xuantian Realm to the Spirit Realm has been severed for ten thousand years."
"That long?"
"True Monarch Qing Yun didnât tell you? For the past ten thousand years, the Xuantian Realm can only ascend to the Demon Realm."
"How could this be?"
Ming Shen True Master sighed.
"I heard that ten thousand years ago, there was a cataclysm. After that, the passage to the Spirit Realm was completely severed. I donât know the specific details."
"Only those Nascent Soul True Monarchs know the complete information."
Shen Xuan calmly said: "After returning to the sect, Iâll ask True Monarch Qing Yun."
"Right now, thereâs a more urgent matter at hand."
"Oh, what is it?"
Shen Xuan glanced at Ming Shen True Master.
"Yang Huofeng needs to temper for three to four months before she can establish her Dao Foundation."
"What?"
After the shock, Ming Shen True Master, having regained his composure, asked: "So soon?"
"Iâve examined her body. After the bloodline awakening, within three months, her flesh body, Divine Sense, Spiritual Power, and Divine Soul, all four aspects of Foundation Establishment will reach the peak of Qi Cultivation Cultivator."
