Myriad Daos of the Heaven

To think that Jiang Jichen was truly that kind of utterly shameless person.

Thick-skinned and shameless. After taking full advantage, he still managed to speak with such self-righteous conviction.

Blood Hand had now awakened her Blood Phoenix bloodline and cultivated the complete Blood Phoenix Technique. An aura of bloody nobility and coldness radiated from her.

"Jiang Jichen, what happens now? You owe us an explanation!"

Blood Hand was direct and earnest, her tone exceptionally grave as she asked the question.

A cyan light flashed in Qing Xun’s eyes. A cold aura emanated from her as she said indifferently, "We can’t just pretend nothing happened, can we?"

Jiang Jichen knew he couldn’t joke around anymore. He had to treat this seriously.

Whether they would be friends, foes, or strangers from this day forward all depended on Jiang Jichen’s next move.

After all, they had shared the most intimate of acts. He couldn’t just brush them off with a vague promise to deal with it later.

Jiang Jichen had been joking until now, but in his heart, he had already made a decision.

He looked the two women straight in the eyes, his voice clear and strong. "Then I’ll be direct. The path of life and death, the road of a Cultivator, is a long one, and its ultimate purpose is to seek the Dao. Everything else is but a fleeting cloud. Even the affair between a man and a woman, if there is no love between us, can only be a fleeting tryst in the mortal world—ultimately, just a moment of pleasure, incapable of becoming Eternal."

"What I seek is the ultimate, undying Great Dao between heaven and earth, and the Eternal, undying, most devoted love between a man and a woman!"

"And I have obtained the Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique. It contains a Secret Technique that can control you, forcing you into eternal servitude, making you obey my every word. That was the Demon Phoenix’s method for dealing with the Cyan Phoenix Empress and the Blood Phoenix Empress. But I am not the Demon Phoenix. I disdain such methods, and I will not use them!"

"If I want to win your hearts and bodies, I will treat you with the most sincere heart, the truest affection, and the most tender care in the world, and I will make you fall completely in love with me!"

"So, let us let nature take its course. Let us walk to where the river meets the clouds and sit to watch them rise. Let time flow on, for there will come a day when I stand at the absolute pinnacle. On that day, I will take you into my embrace as we laugh at the heavens, watching the ages turn to dust with a flick of my finger!"

At this moment, Jiang Jichen exuded an astonishingly demonic and charismatic power.

What’s more, having achieved a Fusion with a trace of the Demon Phoenix’s aura, he was already difficult for Qing Xun and Blood Hand to resist.

When coupled with such incredibly moving words, what young woman could possibly control herself?

How, then, could Qing Xun and Blood Hand possibly resist?

In truth, because they cultivated the Cyan Phoenix Technique and the Blood Phoenix Technique, and after that unforgettable, bone-deep pleasure, Qing Xun and Blood Hand already felt an unwavering sense of submission toward Jiang Jichen, who possessed the Demon Phoenix Technique.

It was the feeling of being utterly conquered.

The kind of submission the Demon Phoenix forced upon the Cyan Phoenix Empress and the Blood Phoenix Empress was one of lust without love.

It was a cruel indifference!

But now, Jiang Jichen possessed both the domineering nature of the powerful and their bone-deep tenderness.

This was a domineering tenderness!

’The wisdom of countless predecessors told me this move was a silver bullet, capable of conquering any Holy Land Saintess, Immortal Realm Fairy, Demon Realm Demoness, or Beast Realm Fox Maiden...’

Jiang Jichen’s expression was a mixture of heroic spirit and bone-deep tenderness, and for a moment, Qing Xun and Blood Hand found themselves looking at him, utterly captivated.

Seeing the change in Qing Xun’s and Blood Hand’s expressions, Jiang Jichen smiled arrogantly to himself.

’Hmph. A speech as heartfelt and sacred as mine could move heaven and earth and make the Sun and Moon themselves grow dim. How could two mere women possibly resist? They’re as good as mine.’

’I don’t usually say things like that. Once the words are out, even I’m scared of their power!’

He was immensely pleased with himself, but not a trace of it showed on his face. His gaze remained full of resolve and tenderness.

Qing Xun and Blood Hand were, indeed, deeply shaken.

Their hearts had already been melted by Jiang Jichen’s words.

However, both of them had cold, proud personalities, and they quickly composed themselves.

Qing Xun gave a cold, seductive sneer. "Fine. Your words are sweet enough. Let’s see if you can actually back them up!"

Blood Hand also asked, her face cold, "What was the Secret Technique the Demon Phoenix left behind to control us?"

Without hiding a thing, Jiang Jichen directly transmitted the technique to them using his Divine Thought.

The Phoenix Slave Skill. By planting a Phoenix Slave Seal during intercourse, the recipient would be forever under the master’s control.

They could only obey, never resist.

The Demon Phoenix truly lived up to his name as one of the Ten Ancient Fiends, to have created such a perverse Cultivation Technique.

Even Jiang Jichen was left speechless when he first discovered this technique.

His admiration for this "Lecher Brother," the Demon Phoenix, was simply as boundless as a surging river.

As for Qing Xun and Blood Hand, they were utterly shocked and enraged upon learning of the technique. Their gazes, fixed on Jiang Jichen, were filled with a coldness and an impulse to tear him to shreds.

’Damn it, I didn’t create this Magic Technique, so why are you looking at me like that?’

Jiang Jichen felt wronged, but he knew that an angry woman was not to be reasoned with, much less provoked.

So, without a moment’s hesitation, he also transmitted the method to break the Phoenix Slave Skill.

"Ahem. That Demon Phoenix... and to think he was one of the Ten Ancient Fiends! Hmph! To create such a lecherous Cultivation Technique. If I had lived in the same era, I would have erased him from existence long ago. I would never have allowed him to bring disaster upon the world. I would have saved the countless young women from their fiery torment."

After handing over the method to break the Phoenix Slave Skill, Jiang Jichen immediately drew a clear line between himself and the Demon Phoenix, denouncing him with righteous indignation.

He radiated an aura of righteousness, open and magnanimous!

Only then did the expressions on Qing Xun and Blood Hand soften slightly.

"You’re cultivating the Demon Phoenix Technique now. You won’t be affected by it in the future, will you? You won’t become a second Demon Phoenix?"

Qing Xun seemed to have thought of something, and she watched Jiang Jichen with a wary, calculating look in her eyes.

Jiang Jichen’s expression turned serious. "The Demon Phoenix was like that because his heart was filled with lecherous intent. It has nothing to do with the Demon Phoenix Technique itself. If the heart is righteous, how can a Demonic Thought invade? Earlier, the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought entered my body, but it was ultimately wiped out by my own upright, courageous, and noble thoughts. If not for that, I would have already transformed into a Demon and lost myself!"

"It was incredibly dangerous. But at that moment, I thought, if I were to be controlled and devoured by that Demonic Thought, what would happen to you? I couldn’t bear the thought of you being harmed."

"So, in that instant, I summoned limitless strength. A will to survive, one that supported me and kept me from being extinguished, rose up within me. In the end... I vanquished the Demon Phoenix’s Demonic Thought. I suppose I have you to thank for that!"

Jiang Jichen spoke with utmost seriousness, his eyes filled with a universe of tenderness as he gazed at Qing Xun and Blood Hand.

In reality, Jiang Jichen was scared. He was afraid Qing Xun and Blood Hand would press the issue, so he needed to guide the conversation elsewhere.

And just as he’d hoped, Qing Xun and Blood Hand couldn’t help but be moved by his words.

Seeing that they didn’t press him with more questions, Jiang Jichen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, the black stone platform suddenly shuddered. Then, through a mysterious curtain of light, they saw an underground Ancient Hall appear before them.

It was the Demon Phoenix Hall... They had arrived!
