Phoenix Phantom

"This …"

Lü Hantian's eyes narrowed, especially when he felt his meridians clear and comfortable. His meridians were circulating several times or even dozens of times faster than usual. His lips curled into an overjoyed smile.

"Little guy, how about becoming my disciple?

I'll help you become a Saint in a short time. "

Yan Ji stared at Lü Hantian with shining eyes. Although Lü Hantian had lived for almost a hundred years, Yan Ji was a Saint. He must have lived for thousands of years. Calling Lü Hantian a little guy was not too much.

Lü Hantian was stunned, but Zhuowen was overjoyed. He said to Lü Hantian, "Big Brother Hantian, why don't you agree?"

Yan Ji was the ruler of the Divine Specter Realm. His cultivation had reached the Heavenly Saint Realm. If Lü Hantian could become his disciple, it would undoubtedly be a blessing.

Lü Hantian realized it late, but he also knew that Yan Ji was extraordinary. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master."

Yan Ji nodded. Lü Hantian had the Ice Soul Saint Physique. He was destined to become a Saint.

Yan Ji was naturally happy to be able to accept such a genius.

"I say, Master, why don't you take Zhuo Wen in as well? His talent and strength are even stronger than mine!

With your guidance, he'll definitely become a Saint soon, "Lü Hantian said with a grin.

Yan Ji was stunned. Then he shook his head and said, "You're different. Zhuowen's talent is indeed very strong, but I can't teach him. I can't even guarantee that he can become a Saint."

"Why?" Lü Hantian asked with wide eyes.

"Because Zhuowen is a Dragon Soul cultivator, and his Dragon Soul is an existence like the Abyss Saint Dragon."

As he spoke, Yan Ji suddenly looked at Zhuowen and asked, "Zhuowen, was it extremely difficult for you to break through to the Emperor Realm?"

Zhuowen's eyes narrowed. Soon after, he smiled bitterly and said, "It is indeed quite difficult."

"Your Dragon Soul Origin is too strong. Breaking through a major realm requires a lot of energy. It's much more difficult for you to break through to the Imperial Power Realm than for ordinary warriors. Then, the Pilgrimage Realm will only be more difficult than the Imperial Power Realm, and much more difficult."

"Of course, once you break through, your strength will become extremely terrifying. Ordinary Profound Sages won't be your opponent at all."

At this point, Yan Ji quietly stared at Zhuowen.

Although Zhuowen's talent and strength might be even more terrifying than Lü Hantian's, whether or not he could become a Saint was still unknown.

After all, becoming a Saint was not a child's play. Even those geniuses who had shown great talent in the early stages would pale in comparison to becoming a Saint.

On top of that, Zhuowen had Xiao Hei with him. It would be even more difficult for him to become a Martial Saint than for ordinary martial artists.

This was also the reason why Yan Ji was willing to accept Lü Hantian as his disciple but not Zhuowen. After all, so what if Zhuowen's talent was strong?

If he couldn't become a Saint, he wouldn't be of much use.

Zhuowen fell silent. Although Yan Ji's words were not pleasant to hear, they were indeed the truth.

When he broke through to the Imperial Power Realm, Zhuowen had already guessed that it would be much more difficult for him to break through in the future than for ordinary warriors. Regarding this, he was also mentally prepared.

Zhuowen suddenly smiled and said, "Although becoming a Saint is much more difficult than becoming an ordinary warrior, there's still a chance, isn't there?"

Looking at Zhuowen's tenacious smile, Yan Ji's eyes narrowed, and a trace of emotion appeared in his heart.

Lü Hantian smiled flatteringly and said, "Master, even if you don't accept Zhuowen as your disciple, you should at least give him some pointers, right?"

Yan Ji smiled and said, "Of course. After all, Zhuowen is also a member of the Inner Court. Moreover, Zhuowen is also the person in the Inner Court who has the highest chance of comprehending the Law of Void. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"Senior Uncle Yan Ji, don't worry. I will definitely do my best in this matter," Zhuowen said respectfully.

"It's good that you have this intention. Remember, you will always be a member of the Excellent Divine College. Our college is willing to shelter you from the wind and rain, but at the same time, we hope that you can contribute to the college," Yan Ji said with a smile.

"Of course!"

Zhuowen bowed, and his heart trembled slightly. He knew that Yan Ji was probably talking about the Holy Ice Fire Symbol on him.

After all, Yan Ji did not take back the Holy Ice Fire Symbol on him. Clearly, he was planning to do him a huge favor. If he could reach the peak of the martial way in the future, he could take care of the Excellent Divine College.

Of course, even if Yan Ji did not say so, Zhuowen would have done so. After all, the Holy Ice Fire Symbol belonged to the Inner Court. He was not a selfish person and naturally knew how to be grateful.

"Also, I have already completely resolved the matter of Xuan Zhong for you. You don't have to worry at all," Yan Ji continued.

Zhuowen nodded. Mu Chenxue had already told him about Xuan Zhong's matter. Although he had killed Xuan Zhong, Yan Ji did not have the slightest intention of blaming him.

"The Nine Netherworld Conference is about to begin. Zhuowen, go back and properly comprehend the Laws of Void. If you can completely comprehend the Laws of Void before the Nine Netherworld Conference, your strength will rise to a whole new level," Yan Ji said with a smile.

"Disciple understands," Zhuowen said.

"En, let's go out. I need to properly train Hantian. Before the Nine Underworld Conference, this kid must at least grasp the Ice Soul Law."

As he spoke, Yan Ji lifted Lü Hantian with one hand, and like a great roc spreading its wings, he instantly disappeared from the Ice and Fire Dual Polarity Palace.

Zhuowen's eyes flickered, and he muttered, "This time, Big Brother Hantian's fortune is coming. I wonder how strong he will be when we meet again in the Nine Underworld Conference?

I'm really looking forward to it. "

As he spoke, Zhuowen disappeared from the Ice and Fire Dual Polarity Palace.

After walking out of the Ice and Fire Dual Polarity Palace, Zhuowen immediately saw a slender and elegant figure standing at the entrance of the palace.

"Chen Xue!"

Zhuowen softly called out. That beautiful figure slowly turned around, and gave a sweet smile to Zhuowen. Moreover, her smile was extremely bright.

Without knowing why, when Zhuowen saw the bright smile on Mu Chenxue's face, he frowned, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. He kept feeling that there was sadness behind Mu Chenxue's smile.

Mu Chenxue was like the wind, and she threw herself into Zhuowen's embrace. The two of them did not speak as they quietly stood at the entrance of the palace.

Zhuowen's heart trembled. He discovered that the current Mu Chenxue was actually trembling.

"Chen Xue, what's wrong?" Zhuowen asked in astonishment.

"I'm cold. Hold me tight. Will you hold me tight forever?" Mu Chenxue said softly.

Zhuowen's arms tightly hugged her, and he said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I will hold you tight forever."

"En!"

Mu Chenxue gently nodded. She rested her head in Zhuowen's embrace, as if she was quietly listening to the latter's breathing.

"How good would it be if we continued like this forever, how good would it be if we continued like this forever." Mu Chenxue softly muttered.

"Yes, we will be together forever, forever." Zhuowen said with a smile.

After a long while, the two of them separated. Mu Chenxue pulled Zhuowen's arm and said, "Will you accompany me tonight?"

Zhuowen was stunned, then he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll accompany you!"

… ….

As night fell, it was like a black dragon pressing down, covering the sky and the sun. The stars in the sky were sparse.

Sky Capital Peak, Floating Snow Pavilion. The dim light continued to flicker.

In the pavilion, two figures were quietly hugging. Mu Chenxue leaned on Zhuowen and said in a gentle voice, "Zhuowen, I want to hear a story. Tell me the story of Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan!"

"Alright!"

Zhuowen tightly hugged Mu Chenxue and slowly said, "Shanhai Pass's commander Wu Sangui, because Chen Yuanyuan was taken away by Liu Zongmin, he flew into a rage and refused to surrender to Li Zicheng, leading the Qing army into the pass ….."

Zhuowen quietly spoke, and Mu Chenxue quietly listened. Under the flickering light, the two figures were faintly discernible.

When Zhuowen's voice fell, Mu Chenxue suddenly stuck to Zhuowen's body. Then, her cherry-red lips pressed against Zhuowen's lips.

Zhuowen's movements stiffened. He did not expect Mu Chenxue to be so proactive today. However, he did not reject her. His hands wrapped around her waist that was as soft as a water snake, and he passionately responded to the latter.

Under the dim light, a charming atmosphere spread out. Under the illumination of the light, the two figures continuously intertwined, blending together like water and milk.

What Zhuowen did not know was that under the light in the pavilion, there was a faint wisp of purple gas spreading. A delicate fragrance spread out, with an intoxicating smell.

… …

In the early morning, in the Floating Snow Pavilion, a beautiful figure slowly stood up. Under the dim light of the morning, her jade-white back was exceptionally dazzling, like the highest grade of mutton fat jade.

Mu Chenxue stretched out her jade-like hand, and a scarlet satin robe flew out from her Spiritual Ring and draped over her body.

Then, she came to the dressing table and quietly tidied herself up. Her fine hair was coiled up, and light makeup was always appropriate.

After doing all this, Mu Chenxue came to the bed in the middle. She gently squatted down and stared at the youth who was sleeping soundly before her. She stared straight at him, as if she wanted to deeply imprint his face in her mind.

"Zhuowen, I love you. I've always loved you!"

Mu Chenxue revealed a sad smile. She bent down and lightly kissed Zhuowen's face like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.

After doing all this, Mu Chenxue's eyes revealed traces of coldness. Then, she walked out of the Floating Snow Pavilion.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Sky Capital Peak was extremely solemn. Old Man Tiandu, Yang Yi, Jian Mu, and even the other eight Peak Masters had all come.

Not only that, even the three Saints of the Inner Court, Yan Ji and the other two, had all gathered in the Sky Capital Peak, as if they were welcoming an important guest.

"Chen Xue, you … what about Zhuowen?" Shao Yu suddenly came before Mu Chenxue, his eyes filled with a complicated expression.

Mu Chenxue softly sighed and said, "You also know the rules of the Burning Heaven Sect. The Saintess can only stay in the Inner Court for five years. Now that the five years are up, she must return to the Southern Wilderness."

Shao Yu still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by a terrifying rumbling sound.

In the distant horizon, a boundless sea of fire spread over. If one looked carefully, one would see an enormous flaming bird shuttling through the sea of fire, stepping on the sea of fire.

Even if it was extremely far away, the heat wave that rushed over made many Inner Court disciples feel hot all over.

"The Phoenix Silhouette of the Burning Heaven Sect. It looks like the Burning Heaven Sect has sent an extraordinary person this time."

Yan Ji's eyes narrowed and his voice was filled with solemnity. The Phoenix Silhouette could only be grasped by the upper echelons of the Burning Heaven Sect.
