112: Phoenix Bloodline

The Medicinal Pill shattered into a green mist in his throat, and Li Xiangyun felt his mind instantly become clearer than ever before.

Problems that had previously troubled him seemed to be resolved at this moment.

The coldness solidified into icy sharp edges, beginning to weave a cage within his five viscera and six organs.

Sword Intent followed, piercing in like an ice-tempered sword edge cutting through the cage, yet freezing its own tip the moment it cut.

The Dao Intent of Life and Death, like intertwining yin-yang fish, stirred up a vortex in his Dantian, churning the green mist into fine ice shards.

Vaguely, Li Xiangyun seemed to see his Spiritual Root, standing silently like a ten-thousand-year-old piece of ice in a void.

Just then, green lotus patterns emerged on the surface of the Spiritual Root, and a pale golden sap seeped from between the lotus petals.

The moment the sap touched the ice armor, it drilled in like a living creature.

"This is..."

Li Xiangyun bit his tongue, and the bloody taste mixed with lotus fragrance exploded in his mouth.

Subsequently, to his surprise, his Spiritual Root began to undergo an abnormal change.

He saw the Spiritual Root being forcibly elevated, gradually transforming into the shape of a long sword, with The Dao Intent of Life and Death immediately covering it.

The next second, the green lotus patterns suddenly began to flow backward, turning into an illusory lotus shadow that lifted the Spiritual Root, with The Dao Intent of Life and Death following closely, changing the green lotus to black and white.

From Li Xiangyun's perspective, it was as if all of this was not over; the shadow of the lotus of life and death was still nurturing the Spiritual Root, which resembled an ice sword.

Furthermore, Li Xiangyun could also feel his Spiritual Root still strengthening, albeit slowly and not as rapidly as at the beginning, but it was genuinely happening.

This made Li Xiangyun somewhat surprised, because he knew that a mere fourth-grade Medicinal Pill would definitely not have such a strong medicinal effect.

But this was not the end; as the medicinal effect took hold, the vast Spiritual Qi within the Medicinal Pill also began to flow through his Meridians to his entire body.

Li Xiangyun immediately composed himself and began to refine this vast Spiritual Qi.

After an unknown period, accompanied by a dull roar, Li Xiangyun's Aura suddenly increased, and terrifying pressure quickly spread.

It only gradually subsided after a long time.

"Hoo~"

Li Xiangyun opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath; he could now feel the difference between his current self and his former self.

Undoubtedly, his Aptitude had improved, and even his cultivation had achieved a Breakthrough.

But what surprised him most was the change in the Dao Intent within his body.

The Dao Intent of ice was mixed with the fresh scent of green lotus; the Sword Intent no longer resembled an ice shard but rather a lotus flower on a green lotus.

The Dao Intent of Life and Death were more like the nodes and sprouts of a lotus root, with a lotus pod forming in the gate of death, while sword light emerged from the gate of life.

This gave Li Xiangyun hope for perfectly combining the four Dao Intents.

Although this was still a long way off, he had now taken a solid first step.

Subsequently, Li Xiangyun, in a good mood, walked out of the secret chamber.

The moon hung on the edge of the dark clouds, casting the last ray of clear light upon the earth.

Li Xiangyun was about to go check on the situation of his Disciples.

A Breakthrough, a clear Phoenix cry echoed through the sky, causing the Spiritual Qi within dozens of miles to surge violently.

Immediately, a mass of crimson flames ignited out of thin air, condensing into a giant illusory figure in the sky.

It was a Phoenix bathed in fire, its feathers burning with a sun-like golden radiance, its tail feathers trailing like flowing clouds, each feather imbued with ancient runes.

The Phoenix opened its glazed vertical pupils, and wherever its gaze fell, space rippled.

"This is..."

Li Xiangyun immediately reacted, wanting to block it, but it was already too late.

Below, the members of the Li family watched this scene in horror, then burst into screams.

"Look! What is that?!"

At this moment, everyone was stunned in place by the phenomenon in the sky.

The giant illusory Phoenix figure, condensed from crimson flames, was spreading its wings; wherever its tail feathers swept, the clouds seemed to ignite into flowing magma, illuminating the originally dark night as if it were daytime.

"This Aura... it's the Phoenix Bloodline!" Someone muttered in disbelief, watching this scene.

"Oh my god, who is it really?"

Without a doubt, at this moment, everyone stared blankly at this scene, wanting to know who had awakened such a terrifying Bloodline.

Somewhere in the Li family, Zhou Jingxing looked at the house not far from him, his eyes flickering; it was Li Xiner's residence.

"Interesting, so this Senior Sister actually possesses the Phoenix Bloodline."

"Then is that seemingly ordinary Great Master Sister really ordinary?"

Zhou Jingxing couldn't help but wonder.

While everyone watched the magnificent Phoenix illusion, some marveling, some harboring ulterior motives, Li Xiangyun had already arrived in front of Li Xiner.

He then discovered that Fire Old and Li Xingyan had already arrived here one step ahead.

However, Li Xiangyun did not pay attention to them, but looked at Li Xiner, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him.

Suddenly, Li Xiner's face became pained; she abruptly knelt on the scorched earth, the crimson mark on her forehead burning fiercely, as if a living fire wanted to break through the shackles of her flesh and blood.

Painful roars escaped her throat, and her skin cracked at a visible speed, blood flowing along the cracks, winding into a strange totem on the ground.

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!"

"The purity of this Phoenix Bloodline truly exceeds this old man's imagination!"

Fire Old watched this scene and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Teacher!"

Li Xingyan was anxious at the side; he didn't care about any Phoenix Bloodline, he only knew that at this moment, the girl who used to love to smile was in extreme pain.

"Calm down."

"This is a necessary process for Bloodline Awakening; none of us can help her.

Stopping it now would only cost Xin'er her life; only by enduring it can she achieve Phoenix Nirvana."

Li Xiangyun watched this scene and comforted him from the side.

Then, seeing Li Xingyan calmed down, he looked at Fire Old again and asked, "Fire Old, is there any explanation for this?"

Hearing this, Fire Old thought for a moment and said, "To speak of the Phoenix Bloodline, one must first know the origin of Bloodline Power."

"As early as ancient times, the Cangming Realm was ruled by Yao Beasts; at that time, the Human Race wore no clothes and were food for the various Yao Races."

"It was at such a time that our Human Race's ancestors obtained Bloodline Power by consuming plants stained with Yao Race blood and pioneered the initial path of Body Refining."

"The initial path of Body Refining?" Li Xiangyun asked in confusion, "Shouldn't it be the path of Qi cultivation?"

Fire Old shook his head and said, "This old man knows very little about the secrets within, because it concerns the world outside the Cangming Realm."

"You only need to know the origin of Bloodline Power."

"Because Bloodline Power itself comes from the Yao Race, it naturally cannot compare to the Yao Race itself, especially after generations of Legacy."

"This Bloodline Power will be diluted little by little."

"However, the purity of this young girl's Bloodline is something this old man has never seen in his life; even compared to those Phoenix beings, it is not inferior."
