Chapter 1044 - Phoenix’s Blessing
The Ji Clan’s prodigies had failed, leaving the phoenix stairs one after another to gather under the Chinese parasol tree. Their eyes remained on the two still climbing: Qin Yao and Ji Kong.
Ji Kong, the top talent of the nine divisions’ younger generation, was the first person to awaken his bloodline. Be it talent or willpower, he stood above the Ji Clan’s juniors, earning Ji Huang’s praise.
Consequently, even the people of the other divisions thought that Ji Kong had the highest chance of receiving the phoenix’s blessing.
As expected, Ji Kong had not disappointed them so far. The others had failed while he was still climbing, making his way to the phoenix’s nest.
To them, his progress felt inevitable.
However, Qin Yao was another story.
Before they had entered the ancestral grounds, many objected to her inclusion, as she was the carrier of “sinful blood.” Many members of her own division objected to it.
If it weren’t for Ji Huang making the unilateral decision, she couldn’t have entered the ancestral grounds.
Even with Ji Huang’s approval, most believed it impossible for her to achieve a second bloodline awakening without a Greater Peak Manifestation realm escort.
However, they had all underestimated Chen Fan.
Under Chen Fan’s guidance, Qin Yao reached the city of flames, absorbed and refined the endless fire spirits, and ultimately achieved her second bloodline awakening, like Ji Hanyou and the others.
