Myriad Daos of the Heaven

He channeled lightning into his Spirit Infant, tempering it directly.

Such a method was incredibly perilous. Almost no one would dare to do such a thing!

After all, when other cultivators underwent a Thunder Tribulation during their breakthrough, they did everything in their power to protect their Spirit Infant and resist the lightning.

Jiang Jichen, however, was a different story. He allowed the Thunder Tribulation to descend without a hint of resistance, even guiding the lightning into his Spirit Infant for tempering.

It was a mad act, but if he succeeded, the rewards would be beyond imagination, and his Spirit Infant would become supremely powerful.

HISS!

Jiang Jichen sucked in a sharp breath.

The sensation of his Spirit Infant being struck by lightning was like having his soul pierced by countless needles.

However, Jiang Jichen could control the lightning that entered his body, so he wouldn’t allow his Spirit Infant to suffer any truly devastating harm.

When the Thunder Tribulation finally dissipated, Jiang Jichen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling refreshed and invigorated from head to toe.

He had succeeded!

The Spirit Infant on his Qi Sea Dao Platform was more spiritually agile than before, radiating a profound Dao rhythm.

Jiang Jichen had now been in seclusion for nearly a year, and his cultivation had undergone a comprehensive breakthrough.

He had successfully resumed his severed path of Body Refining, stepping into the Golden Body Third Realm.

In his Spirit Cultivation Realm, he had stepped into a brand-new level and, after tempering his Spirit Infant with lightning, had already reached the Mid-stage Spirit Infant Realm.

This one year in the Demon Phoenix Palace had granted Jiang Jichen an explosive increase in strength.

Now, if he were to face Nangong Wanyu with her suppressed Cultivation Realm again, he would have no fear of battle.

In fact, Jiang Jichen was confident he could even slay her!

In other words, here in the back mountains of the Academy, he now feared no cultivator and could... sweep aside all challengers!

WHOOSH!

A feeling of immense power coursed through his body as Jiang Jichen rose to his feet.

’It’s time to leave this place!’

Jiang Jichen was now confident and powerful, fearing no opponent.

It was impossible to find any other ultimate treasures in the Demon Phoenix Palace; for example, the complete Demon Phoenix Technique was nowhere to be found.

However, by refining a drop of Demon Phoenix Blood, Jiang Jichen had cultivated his Demon Phoenix Remnant Technique to a very high level, allowing him to activate the Undying Technique once.

This meant that no matter how grievous his injuries, once he activated the technique, he could instantly be restored to perfect condition.

It was equivalent to having an extra life!

But it was, after all, the Demon Phoenix Fragment Technique. The Demon Phoenix Undying Power it produced could only be activated once a month.

Therefore, unless it was a matter of life and death, Jiang Jichen would never use it.

Finally, Jiang Jichen considered taking the Demon Phoenix Bathing Fire Pool with him but had no choice but to give up the idea.

After all, he had nearly been obliterated just trying to take a single drop of Demon Phoenix Blood.

And so, Jiang Jichen began to walk out.

He went to look for Qing Xun and Blood Hand.

Jiang Jichen quickly found Qing Xun and Blood Hand. The auras emanating from the two women were incredibly formidable; they had actually reached the... Spirit Infant Perfection Realm!

Clearly, within the cultivation grounds of the Cyan Phoenix Empress and the Blood Phoenix Empress, they had both made astonishing gains, advancing from the Spirit Infant Middle Realm to the Spirit Infant Perfection Realm in just under a year.

The two women now truly possessed the strength to face top-tier geniuses like the golden-robed man, the White-clothed Swordsman Mo Yu, and the Bald Man, and could contend with any of them!

The moment the two women sensed Jiang Jichen’s arrival, they reacted with extreme speed. They turned and attacked in the same instant, their coordination perfectly synchronized.

Their graceful hands blurred. Phantoms of a Cyan Phoenix and a Blood Phoenix manifested simultaneously, pouncing on Jiang Jichen from the left and right.

Had it been the pre-breakthrough Jiang Jichen, he would have been utterly unable to resist such an attack.

At that moment, the two women finally got a clear look at their target and saw it was Jiang Jichen. Their expressions changed instantly.

But their supremely powerful attack had already been unleashed, and it was too late to pull it back.

They were well aware of how terrifying their strength had become, and their combined attack was even more immensely powerful.

’Jiang Jichen probably... won’t be able to take it! He might even be severely wounded!’

However, Jiang Jichen simply stood there calmly, an incomparably powerful and domineering aura radiating from him.

With a faint smile, he raised a finger and flicked it lightly.

SWISH!

SWISH!

Two beams of black Finger Light, formed from Demon Phoenix Spiritual Power, shot out and struck the Cyan Phoenix and Blood Phoenix phantoms respectively.

POOF!

POOF!

The Cyan Phoenix and Blood Phoenix phantoms shattered at the same time, vanishing into nothingness without leaving a single trace.

In the eyes of the two women, Jiang Jichen now had the air of a peerless, unrivaled master.

With a flick of his finger, their attacks had been reduced to ash.

Such an elegant display of power was truly captivating!

Moreover, Qing Xun and Blood Hand were even more shocked by the leap in Jiang Jichen’s strength.

They had awakened the bloodlines of the Cyan Phoenix Empress and the Blood Phoenix Empress, cultivated the complete Cyan Phoenix and Blood Phoenix Techniques, and had even reached the Spirit Infant Perfection Realm, putting them on par with the likes of the White-clothed Swordsman, Mo Yu.

And yet, Jiang Jichen had extinguished their combined attack with a single flick of his finger.

’This... He’s too strong!’

In truth, Jiang Jichen wasn’t as terrifying as they imagined; it was simply that his Demon Phoenix Spiritual Power happened to perfectly counter the powers of the Cyan Phoenix and the Blood Phoenix.

Jiang Jichen smiled faintly. "I trust you two have been well."

Qing Xun exclaimed in amazement, "Jiang Jichen, you’ve gotten stronger again!"
