21: Can Chapter 21, "The General Trend," be modified?

Ye Xuan knew he could not completely change all of Feng Xueni's destiny; she would likely still be taken away by that Saint from the Phoenix Sacred Land.

Minor trends can be changed, but the grand trend might not be.

Because the silly girl is the future Phoenix Empress.

Leaving behind some beautiful memories could be considered a good thing.

Looking at Feng Xueni, Ye Xuan thought of his adopted sister, Ye Qingxian, who was just as much of a silly, innocent girl.

Her eyes held only him, just like Feng Xueni's.

"Little Nine, you must be tired from flying. Let's go down and take a rest." Ye Xuan patted the crane beneath him.

"Coo—" The crane slowly reduced its flight speed, then landed lightly and steadily on the ground.

This place was considered the outer periphery of the Magic Beast Forest, where low-level magic beasts were numerous but posed no threat.

"Boom—" Suddenly, Ye Xuan felt a wave of intense heat beside him. Invisible flames surged onto the girl in his arms, and invisible fire began to burn on her body.

"Brother Ye, I'm so hot… I'm so hot!" Feng Xueni opened her beautiful eyes in distress, feeling as if her whole body—

"Damn it, could this be the Phoenix Rebirth?" Ye Xuan's expression changed drastically. Of all times, it had to be now. He could only place Feng Xueni on the open ground and stand guard beside her.

"Brother Ye, I feel like a power is awakening inside me. It's really so uncomfortable!"

Feng Xueni's clothes had been burned away to almost nothing by the flames, and an even more terrifying temperature suddenly rose.

"Ah—" A pillar of fire imbued with Phoenix Mystic Power shot into the sky. The sound almost pierced the clouds, and waves of tyrannical power were constantly rising from Feng Xueni.

The Magic Beast Forest for thousands of miles around was instantly ignited by the flames. That crimson fire even wiped out thousands of magic beasts in an instant, refining them into ashes.

"Damn it, Evil Soul!" Ye Xuan had no choice but to activate the first level of the Evil God Art. A purple-white light flashed in his eyes, and he circulated his Mystic Power, forcibly resisting this formidable Phoenix flame while using his Mystic Power to help the girl suppress the fire within her bit by bit.

"Xueni, don't sleep, hold on!"

Feng Xueni's originally black hair turned into dazzling red tresses within three breaths. Her originally petite figure instantly became voluptuous and sexy, and her height shot up to the tip of Ye Xuan's nose—she was the spitting image of a tall, stunning mature woman.

The fire-red Mystic Power around her was passionate and unrestrained, spreading a unique, elegant aura.

"Hum, hum, hum—" An elegant and noble Phoenix manifestation appeared completely behind Feng Xueni. If that Phoenix spreading its wings were to erupt, it would seemingly be able to level this part of the Magic Beast Forest to the ground.

"This is a Phoenix manifestation. Could it be the Phoenix Divine Body?"

One hundred thousand miles away, a beautiful woman opened her eyes. The next second, she arrived above the firmament from a misty heavenly palace. She pinched her fingers to calculate, stopping in less than three seconds, leaving only a stunningly beautiful silhouette in the sky.

"It really is the Phoenix Divine Body. Heaven is truly favoring my Phoenix Sacred Land!"

In an instant, the beautiful woman locked onto the location of Ye Xuan and Feng Xueni, and the next second, she sped away.

"With flames like these, if one isn't careful, I fear even the soul would be burned to nothing. Truly worthy of being the Phoenix Divine Body!" Ye Xuan looked at Feng Xueni, who had turned into a fire-red cocoon of light, and couldn't help but exclaim.

No wonder in her original destiny, she destroyed the entire Qingshan County. The reason lay right here.

The extreme flames were not even inferior to those naturally occurring divine fires; they were even more terrifying.

However, what Ye Xuan didn't notice was that the scroll of animal skin map he had previously obtained from An Lushan was actually slowly absorbing a destructive fire, and was also improving Ye Xuan's physique bit by bit.

"This is… damn it… it's it!" Ye Xuan instantly felt another peculiar fire seed appear in his Dantian, which had actually started to contend with the lightning seed.

"Not good!" Ye Xuan endured the intense pain in his Dantian and mobilized his Mystic Power, wanting to forcibly expel this flame. However, this only provoked the flame's combative nature, causing it to gather its power even more unscrupulously.

The lightning Mystic Power seed seemed to see a mortal enemy and went crazy, charging at the fire Mystic Power seed.

"Boom, boom, boom—" Finally, the fire Mystic Power seed had matured and no longer endured in silence, erupting with Mystic Power to fight for survival space in the Dantian.

"Bastard, I don't believe I can't subdue you today! Since you've entered my body, you'll be mine from now on!"

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth, intending to circulate the Evil God Art to forcibly suppress these two destructive forces.

"Pfft—" Just when they were about to erupt completely, the animal skin map from Ye Xuan's spirit ring turned into strands of Yin and Yang energy, slowly settling in his Dantian and completely stabilizing the two destructive forces.

If an ordinary cultivator saw this scene, they would likely be scared to death. How could anyone condense such power? And two types of extreme power at that.

At the same time, a Heavenly Thunder manifestation erupted in the sky, with an aura of destruction no less than that of the Phoenix flame.

Behind Ye Xuan were two terrifying manifestations: one was the Heavenly Thunder from the nine heavens, and the other was the supreme Yang fire that seemed capable of burning everything to ashes.

"Is it the Five-Li Fire Control Divine Art?" Ye Xuan calmed his mind and finally saw the ancient animal skin hanging in mid-air within his Dantian.

"This is a Heavenly Thunder manifestation? Could it be that the person awakening the Phoenix Divine Body is undergoing a tribulation?"

The beautiful woman from the Phoenix Sacred Land, who was on her way, looked surprised: "Such a good seedling, this Seat must take her as a disciple!" Immediately, she quickened her pace.

"An ancestor of the Phoenix Sacred Land once said that in this lifetime, the Phoenix Sacred Land will surely encounter the possessor of the Phoenix Divine Body, and the Human Dao Emperor will surely appear in my Phoenix Sacred Land!"

"I hope it is you, little one. You must not disappoint this Seat. With geniuses rising together, the Supreme position that appears once every one hundred thousand years belongs to my Phoenix Sacred Land."

At the thought of this, the excitement in the beautiful woman's eyes could not be concealed, and she used all her strength to circulate her Mystic Power to hurry on her way.

… Northern Wilderness Region, Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

"Such an aura, is a supreme treasure being born? No, this is a Divine Body, and not just one! It seems the future of the continent will not be peaceful!"

The current Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's aged face was full of helplessness. On the altar before him, those few manifestations appeared.

"The Heavenly Secret God Ranking has changed. Lord Saint Master, should we intervene?" A great expert of the Huangxuan Realm sitting beside the altar asked hesitantly.

"Intervene? With what? My Heavenly Secret Pavilion has never participated in the continent's struggle for supremacy for tens of thousands of years; how could we break this great taboo?" The Heavenly Secret Elder shook his head and brushed his hand over the Heavenly Secret God Ranking, and the image instantly returned to calm.

"Saint Master, this…"

"No need to say more. Let everything follow its natural course. If a Supreme ascends to the throne in the future, that is Heaven's will."
