Chapter 720 - 643: Phoenix Song in the Abyss
Meridians pose no issue.
Bones pose no issue.
Viscera pose no issue.
The meridians are broad, the bones resilient, the viscera robust, all top-notch choices.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that just based on these physical conditions, one can rival a Celestial Spirit Root.
When Spiritual Power surged to Yang Huofeng’s Dantian, he only then sensed something amiss.
The Water Spiritual Power condensed by the Divine Hidden Sea Technique, so pure, yet it could not enter Yang Huofeng’s Dantian.
"So that’s how it is!"
Outside Yang Huofeng’s Dantian Qi Sea, there was an extremely mysterious, invisible restriction enveloping it.
This is a highly advanced Daoist Technique.
Yang Huofeng’s Dantian Qi Sea was almost entirely isolated from the outside world,
leaving only a tiny gap to sustain the most basic life force.
More than ninety-nine percent of Spiritual Qi cannot be absorbed or refined.
Shen Xuan understood in his heart and withdrew the Water Spiritual Power.
He gazed at Yang Huofeng with a complex look.
In all honesty, he did not believe the person who set the invisible restriction intended to harm Yang Huofeng.
This person is at least a Core Formation True Master,
possibly even a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
To break this invisible restriction, Shen Xuan would need to spend a lot of thought and energy.
It would take two to three months to completely break it.
Fortunately, he has been diligently studying arrays in recent years and has become a Tier Three Array Master.
Otherwise, he truly wouldn’t dare to act so impulsively.
Yang Huofeng isn’t an ordinary Low Tier Fire Spirit Root.
Her aptitude is at least that of a Celestial Spirit Root.
The person who restricted her Dantian probably hoped she would live a simple, happy life as a low-tier cultivator.
Not wishing her to step onto the perilous, murder-laden path of cultivation.
Shen Xuan thought for a moment and decided to speak frankly.
"Yang Huofeng, your Dantian has an anomaly, restricted by an advanced Daoist Technique."
Shen Xuan slowly said, "This restriction blocks your path, yet also grants you safety."
Upon hearing this, Yang Huofeng’s delicate face first showed bewilderment, then disbelief, her bright eyes widened.
"True Master, are you saying I can continue cultivation and have hopes to establish my Foundation?"
Shen Xuan slowly nodded.
"I can break this restriction for you, restoring your true form. I can also, on behalf of True Master Primordial Fire, appoint you as a True Disciple, teach you supreme Fire Technique, guiding you onto the true path."
Shen Xuan’s tone became serious: "However, blessings and misfortunes are intertwined. Once the restriction is broken, there’s no turning back."
"With greater ability comes greater responsibility. You must shoulder the mission of revitalizing the Fire Cloud Sect. Additionally, the Daoist path is perilous, filled with deadly tribulations, unlike the simplicity, safety, and happiness you have now."
"You will kill many, and many will plot and ambush you."
Yang Huofeng stood there, lost in thought.
After a long while.
Yang Huofeng suddenly lifted her head, her eyes flashing with a strange brilliance, carrying a hint of longing.
"True Master, after I practice Daoist techniques, can I have enough to eat?"
"Also, can I fly with the sword and slay demons like Senior Sister?"
Shen Xuan looked at the light in Yang Huofeng’s eyes and sighed inwardly.
"The path of Immortal Cultivation is not filled with boundless stories of vengeance and retribution, it’s about silent meditation, life-and-death battles, heart calculations, crises one after another, life hanging by a thread. Yang Huofeng, don’t rush to decide, go back and ponder carefully overnight. Once you’ve thought it through, come back tomorrow to give me your answer."
"Yes."
Yang Huofeng bowed once more.
Shen Xuan waved his hand, and the Cyan Ice Wall quietly disappeared.
Yang Huofeng exited the secret chamber with a heavy mind.
Ming Shen True Master personally escorted Yang Huofeng home.
Clearly, he was intent on investigating Yang Huofeng’s situation.
It concerns the revival of the sect; one cannot be too cautious.
Yang Huofeng did not conceal, speaking truthfully.
Ming Shen True Master was first shocked, then revealed a look of ecstasy.
He never expected that within the sect lay such excellent material.
That night, he called Yang Yunfan, speaking kindly, urging him to protect his daughter well.
In truth, Ming Shen True Master need not worry.
Early the next morning, as the heavens began to show traces of dawn.
Outside Ming Shen True Master’s Cave Mansion, accompanied by her adoptive father Yang Yunfan, Yang Huofeng knelt on the cold stone steps, prostrating herself.
Her eyes had blood streaks, clearly had not slept well.
However, her gaze was exceptionally firm.
Shen Xuan and Ming Shen True Master stepped out of the Cave Mansion.
Yang Huofeng lifted her head, her voice loud.
"Disciple Yang Huofeng humbly requests the True Master to teach me the True Technique. Disciple is willing to face any danger for the Fire Cloud Sect, ready to die a thousand times without regret!"
Shen Xuan quietly looked at Yang Huofeng.
After a long while.
Shen Xuan cast a spell to isolate the outside.
Inside the restriction, only he and Yang Huofeng were present.
"Yang Huofeng, do you know the meaning of ’no regrets once you’ve cast your stone’?"
"I know. I know how to play chess."
"The road is your own choice. Any consequences in the future, you bear them yourself."
Shen Xuan sternly said: "Yang Huofeng, listen well."
"You are the last disciple of True Master Primordial Fire and have no relation to me. In the future, regardless of what happens, you must not mention my name."
"If you dare reveal my name to outsiders, do not blame me for being ruthless, scattering your soul, eternally denying you reincarnation!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Huofeng was incredibly puzzled.
However, seeing Shen Xuan so solemn, she obediently replied.
"Yes. I dare not reveal the True Master’s name. It’s Senior Brother Shen Haoming replacing Master to pass on the technique."
Shen Xuan nodded.
The person who set the restriction in Yang Huofeng’s Dantian possesses profound practice.
There is likely a trace of Divine Bird Phoenix bloodline in Yang Huofeng.
Shen Xuan is merely fulfilling a promise, completing a Heavenly Dao vow.
He doesn’t want to become too entangled with Yang Huofeng.
"Rise."
Shen Xuan withdrew the isolating restriction, sending a Divine Soul message to Ming Shen True Master.
Telling him to choose Yang Huofeng as the heir disciple of True Master Primordial Fire.
...
Shen Xuan wandered around Flame Island, selecting a small mountain peak on the easternmost side to establish a Cave Mansion.
