Myriad Daos of the Heaven

By now, Qing Xun had not only successfully cultivated the Cyan Phoenix Technique, but she had also reached an extraordinary realm.

Her Cyan Phoenix Bloodline had been fully awakened. All she needed to do was continue practicing the Cyan Phoenix Technique until she reached the Supreme Realm.

One day, she too could reach the heights of the legendary Cyan Phoenix Empress.

Of course, she had also become very strong. Once she woke up and entered a period of secluded cultivation, she would surely break through her current Realm with ease.

At that point, she would possess the strength to truly contend with the world’s most talented prodigies.

People like the White-clothed Swordsman Mo Yu, the Bald Man, and the gold-robed man. Qing Xun would soon be their equal, and perhaps even surpass them.

Moreover, as Qing Xun’s Realm increased and she cultivated the Cyan Phoenix Technique to a more profound level, she would only grow stronger and stronger.

Her potential was absolutely... limitless!

Qing Xun was currently unconscious off to the side. Within her body, the Cyan Phoenix Technique continued to circulate on its own. Faint, mystical cyan patterns coiled around her, and the illusory image of a Cyan Phoenix would occasionally flicker into view. The Anomaly was truly extraordinary.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen was forming a mysterious Seal with his hands, refining and absorbing the Demon Phoenix’s Demon Soul Power.

The Demon Phoenix Technique, the Cyan Phoenix Technique, and the Blood Phoenix Technique were originally a single entity. Once they began to circulate simultaneously, they would reinforce one another, becoming unstoppable and difficult to control.

The Demonic Qi in his eyes gradually faded, and his sanity finally returned.

He could sense that his previous injuries had fully recovered; he was even stronger than before.

The Demon Phoenix, one of the Ten Ancient Fiends, possessed the power of rebirth from fire, making it undying and indestructible.

The Demon Phoenix Technique it practiced was the Strongest among all Undying Secret Techniques.

Even though Jiang Jichen had only cultivated the Fragmented Technique, the effects it manifested were astonishing.

Logically, even the Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique shouldn’t have been something he could successfully cultivate all at once.

But it was possible because of the Soul Power from the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought.

That, combined with the Yin-Yang Balance, was what ultimately allowed him to achieve a minor level of mastery in the Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique.

The Undying Scripture affected the Dao of Flesh Body, focusing on being powerful and indestructible.

The Demon Phoenix Technique affected the Great Dao of the Spirit Body, focusing on rebirth and being undying!

They had points in common, yet their focuses were different.

But if both techniques were cultivated successfully, they would complement each other perfectly!

At that moment, an idea struck Jiang Jichen. He wanted to obtain the complete Demon Phoenix Technique.

However, the Cultivation Technique of any one of the Ten Ancient Fiends was incredibly heaven-defying and almost impossible to find in its complete form.

Furthermore, it was said that the Ten Ancient Fiends no longer existed in this world, having vanished during some terrifying era.

Thus, all that remained here was an empty Demon Phoenix’s Nest.

’This black stone platform can actually take us to the Ancient Demon Phoenix Hall!’

After absorbing the memories of the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought, Jiang Jichen learned that the Dark Dao Platform currently sinking into the magma would lead them to the Ancient Demon Phoenix Hall.

The Ancient Demon Phoenix Hall was, naturally, the Demon Phoenix’s residence.

And it was buried deep beneath this sea of magma!

The thought was staggering.

Forget about finding such a place—even if one did, actually reaching it would be incredibly difficult!

Without a special Secret Technique, even a Supreme expert would likely shrink back in dismay upon arriving here.

As they descended deeper, the magma’s temperature became truly terrifying, capable of incinerating everything and melting all matter.

If not for the mysterious barrier of light emanating from the Dark Dao Platform, Jiang Jichen and the others would have long since been turned to ash.

Clearly, this Dark Dao Platform was a tool specifically meant for those with weaker Cultivation to travel to and from the Demon Phoenix Hall.

If Jiang Jichen hadn’t schemed against the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought and learned these secrets, he likely would have missed out on the treasures of the Demon Phoenix Hall entirely.

The sea of magma was unfathomably deep. A full double-hour had passed, and they still hadn’t reached the bottom.

Jiang Jichen had already stopped circulating his Cultivation Technique and was now pondering how to handle the situation with Qing Xun and Blood Hand.

’What’s done is done. Besides, the situation at the time was beyond anyone’s control.’

’More importantly, if I had acted like a gentleman instead of a beast, those two women would have surely perished.’

Jiang Jichen faced the reality of the situation decisively, without a hint of evasion.

Beside him, Qing Xun and Blood Hand were slowly waking up.

However, both of them were surprisingly calm.

Their eyes were fixed on Jiang Jichen in a cold stare. They said nothing, but a frigid aura radiated from their bodies.

It made a chill run down Jiang Jichen’s spine.

"My ladies, I did not disappoint. I exhausted all my strength and gave my all to help you both successfully cultivate your techniques and save your lives. Ahem. It was arduous and taxing work, but it was worth it!"

"After all, hard work always pays off!"

But Jiang Jichen was incredibly thick-skinned, shamelessly taking the initiative to speak.

He was offering a "well-intentioned" reminder.

He was euphemistically explaining that everything had happened out of necessity, that it was all to save their lives, and that it had even helped them master their cultivation techniques.

He only mentioned his contributions, not the... other details!

Qing Xun and Blood Hand were so exasperated by Jiang Jichen’s shameless words that they almost laughed.

Still, they remained composed, their reaction unlike that of ordinary women in such a situation.

This was, of course, because they had received the legacies of the Cyan Phoenix Empress and the Blood Phoenix Empress.

Besides, as Jiang Jichen had said, the situation at the time had been completely beyond their control.

"So, according to you, we should be thanking you?"

Cyan Phoenix spoke with a cold smile.

"Miss Qing Xun, no need to be so formal. If you have any... needs... in the future, I will of course be happy to oblige. Thanking me makes us sound like strangers."

Jiang Jichen said with a perfectly straight and serious face.

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, the faces of both Blood Hand and Cyan Phoenix darkened simultaneously.
