Chapter 57 - Unexpected Changes
Ting pointed at her hair and said:
— See, it’s got strands tinged with a bluish hue, almost white... Just a few days ago it was completely black, but now it’s slowly starting to change.
"What...?"
[Well, that must be because of the connection between you and the beastly souls in your body. When the phoenix absorbed the Frozen Fire, it changed color—and your hair ended up taking on the same tone, or something similar.]
’Tsk! So what was the point of forging this body from scratch, after all...? Soon enough, kicking a stone in the forest is going to shave off half a meter of my height.’
[And after absorbing the flame, there was a huge increase in the Qi of your body, but no evolution occurred—I blocked your cultivation level.
This is because, up to now, you haven’t really shaped your foundation—even though you’ve already passed through all the stages in terms of Qi quantity—where the Golden Core should be.
If you keep evolving this way, your cultivation will be as fragile as a sandcastle... maybe even more.]
’...So things didn’t end well in the end... All that’s missing is for you to tell me that none of the lineages were awakened, either.’
[No, the lineages were awakened, even the phoenix lineage—even if in a weakened form.
You could say that instead of the phoenix lineage, it’s more akin to Frozen Fire with a portion of a phoenix’s flames.]
