Ancient Phoenix Seal, Ancient Phoenix Method

"Huang, enough with the nonsense. Are you going to agree or not?" Qian Xunji grabbed a handful of Huang's beautiful hair with his left hand and delivered a slap with his right, leaving a red mark on her pale skin.

"Qian Xunji, you bastard, I really want to beat you to death." Supporting herself with one hand, Huang tried to strike back at Qian Xunji with her right.

But the attempt backfired; not only did she fail to land a hit, but her right hand was also seized and pinned by Qian Xunji.

At this moment, Huang was like a lone boat in a raging storm, teetering on the brink of collapse.

"Huang, are you going to agree or not?" Qian Xunji asked once more.

"Qian Xunji, I'm afraid of you now, fine, I agree."

"But I'll say this upfront: I am determined to kill the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. If you dare to stand in my way then, don't blame me for turning against you."

"Once I kill the Golden Dragon King, I will come to kill the Silver Dragon King. You can weigh the timing yourself."

"Rest assured, Huang. Just give me some time, that will be enough. Once I complete a few experiments, I won't stop you from killing her."

"After all, we are a pair; I will certainly side with you!" Qian Xunji agreed for now, though he would deal with the future when it came. It wouldn't be easy for Huang to kill the Golden Dragon King, after all, the gods of the God Realm were no pushovers.

They feared that the Golden Dragon King and Gu Yuena might one day revert to the Dragon God, but when they saw Huang, they would surely be wary of her as well.

Because Huang was also a soul beast!

"What a vicious curse."

"But fortunately, I no longer have to be controlled by others."

With the matter finished, the two separated, and Huang transformed back into the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

It ignited without fire, the black petals gradually burning away to reveal its original golden-red luster.

Finally, even the golden-red hue was consumed by the pale black flames.

From this day on, there was no more Lovesick Heartbreak Red in the world, only Huang.

She manifested her divine soul, her appearance breathtakingly beautiful, yet it was not the face of Xiao Rou.

Qian Xunji asked, feeling somewhat speechless: "Huang, you clearly have your own face, why do you insist on borrowing Xiao Rou's appearance?"

"I feel like it, is that a problem?"

"Do you still want to learn the Ancient Phoenix Method or not?" Huang countered with two questions.

"Yes, yes, yes," Qian Xunji replied repeatedly. This was his means to do as he pleased in the Douluo Continent from now on; how could he not learn it?

He had no desire to go to the God Realm and be ordered around by other gods.

"I will teach you now. I hope you aren't too slow and won't waste too much of my time."

"I will first leave my mark upon you. Come here." Huang beckoned to Qian Xunji.

Looking down on me again.

Once you regain your true form, I'll show you.

Since he was currently reliant on Huang, Qian Xunji walked over, secretly resolving that once he was strong enough to defeat this arrogant woman, he would make her sing for mercy before him.

Only he knew the taste of such a thought.

The two stood less than half a centimeter apart, their noses almost touching.

Huang's divine soul floated slightly, kissing Qian Xunji on the forehead as flames danced within her soul.

When Huang pulled away from his forehead, a pattern remained.

A black phoenix, poised to spread its wings and soar at any moment.

The pattern was small, no larger than the tip of a pinky finger.

Thus, the black phoenix did not detract from Qian Xunji's handsome features; instead, it added a touch of malevolence.

As the pattern set, the system's voice rang out in Qian Xunji's ears once again.

"Host's physical changes detected. System is automatically collecting information."

"Information collection complete. Identified as a buff-type mark: Ancient Phoenix Seal. A 'Buff' section has been added to the system interface for the host."

[Buff: Ancient Phoenix Seal (Damaged)]

Damaged again?

Qian Xunji curiously tapped on it.

[Ancient Phoenix Seal (Damaged): Lacks original divine power to ignite. Only by igniting it can its full effects be realized.

There are two ways to ignite it.

One: The grantor of the mark returns to the god realm, automatically igniting it.

Two: The host breaks through to the god realm and ignites it with their own original divine power.]

So that's how it is.

As Qian Xunji came to this realization, Huang began to teach him the practice of the Ancient Phoenix Method.

His comprehension was excellent; by daybreak, he had already mastered the Ancient Phoenix Method.

After Qian Xunji learned the Ancient Phoenix Method, the technique column on his system interface underwent a change.

[Technique: Ancient Phoenix Method]

[Ancient Phoenix Method: Increases cultivation speed tenfold; allows the user to smelt exotic fires of the world into their own body, forging a soul and physique capable of nirvanic rebirth.]

A fine treasure indeed.

Seeing that Qian Xunji had mastered the Ancient Phoenix Method, Huang prepared to depart.

However, before leaving, Huang offered Qian Xunji a few words of caution.

First, the Ancient Phoenix Seal could not yet exert its effect of shielding against the sensing rules of the God Realm; it would only function once she recovered her divine cultivation.

Therefore, until she became a deity, Qian Xunji must not ascend to godhood.

Huang also promised Qian Xunji that she would certainly recover her divine cultivation within five years.

The second point was that after Qian Xunji became a deity, while the early stages would be fine, once his divine power increased and he reached the level of a First-Class God, he should avoid taking action whenever possible.

Even if he did take action, he must kill his enemies in a single strike, leaving no survivors—especially if they were deities from the God Realm.

If those deities were to report back to the God Realm, Qian Xunji's good days would come to an end.

Qian Xunji listened carefully, keeping her words firmly in mind and agreeing to each point, as it was, after all, directly related to his own interests.

"You stingy and greedy little man, I am leaving now; don't miss me too much." Huang's divine soul slowly faded away.

Qian Xunji felt as though it were all a dream, but upon touching the Black Phoenix on his forehead, he knew it was no dream.

To smelt the world's exotic fires and achieve a soul and body of nirvanic rebirth.

Qian Xunji felt he should no longer remain so decadent; although he had the system, he should still dedicate some time to cultivation.

He thought of the fire spring at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The flames left behind after the death of the Fire Dragon King could surely count as exotic fire, right?

After all, the Fire Dragon King possessed the cultivation of a God King.

For the time that followed, Qian Xunji traveled back and forth between the Sunset Forest and Martial Soul City, continuing for five months.

Qian Renxia, Qian Renwei, and Qian Renting, the three little ones, were now six years old; it was time to awaken their martial souls.

In those five months, Qian Xunji's strength had made leaps and bounds.

[Family Prosperity System]

[Host: Qian Xunji]

[Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel]

[God Position: None]

[Body: 100 (Divine Body, current limit)]

[Soul: 99.50 (Half-step toward Divine Soul)]

[Soul Power: 100 (Divine Power, current limit)]

[Technique: Ancient Phoenix Method]

[Buff: Ancient Phoenix Seal (Fragmented)]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: A man one step away from godhood.]

Using the Ancient Phoenix Method, he had smelted the divine flames left by the Fire Dragon King into his own body. Although he was still far from nirvanic rebirth, it had allowed his body and soul power to reach the level of a divine body and divine power.

Now, he only needed his soul to transform into a divine soul, and he could use the Ancient Phoenix Method to smelt the Fire Dragon King's godhead to forge his own god position and achieve godhood.

However, before that, Qian Xunji needed to wait for Huang to achieve godhood first.

He had no desire to be summoned to the God Realm by Asura or the Sea God to perform manual labor.

Douluo Continent, Martial Soul City.

Saintess Hall.

"Daddy is finally here!"

"Daddy, hurry and awaken our martial souls!"

"We want to go to school and play with our big sisters too; they said school is so much fun!" Qian Renxia, Qian Renwei, and Qian Renting surrounded Qian Xunji the moment they saw him.

Qian Renxue and Qian Renshuang watched the enthusiastic trio from not far away, suppressing their laughter.

"Alright, my dear daughters, I shall awaken your martial souls right now."

Qian Renxia and Qian Renwei were the children of Bibi Dong and Leng Lingyuan respectively; their aptitude was undoubtedly red, a guaranteed innate full soul power of level ten.

Only Qian Renting was the child of Xue Ying, possessing black-tier aptitude; her Innate Soul Power and martial soul would only be revealed once she awakened them.

Xue Ying's aptitude was certainly that of a genius to an ordinary soul master, but to him, Leng Lingyuan, and Bibi Dong, it was not particularly impressive.

Her Innate Soul Power was only level 7, and her martial soul was a mutated Healing Swan.

However, with his genes involved, Qian Renting could not possibly be mediocre.

Furthermore, with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well at their disposal, any congenital deficiencies could be fully compensated for later on.
