Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 309 Human Clan Aristocracy, Taking Mei Niang as a Concubine, Shimin Desires to Marry His Eldest Daughter, Phoenix Ancestral Scripture, Phoenix Transformation into a Rainbow Technique

You must understand, that's the Phoenix Ancestor! Legend has it that she founded the avian race and triggered the Great Calamity of Dragons and Phoenixes. With such a being's bloodline propagating and its successor, wouldn't it be natural for her to become an empress?

Of course, Wu Zetian was also extremely capable, managing to swallow a blood bead formed from the essence of the Phoenix Ancestor while possessing only a mortal body, and even refined it. It must be said that Wu Zetian was indeed blessed with great fortune.

"Master, is there something wrong with the bloodline of Meiniang?" Wu Meiniang looked at Di Xiao's ever-changing expression, feeling a little panicked. She hugged herself tightly, filled with doubt.

Di Xiao comforted Wu Meiniang, but his tone was also stern: "Meiniang, you must remember this: from now on, you must not reveal the truth about your bloodline to outsiders. Even if you recognize the phoenix bloodline within you, you must say it's an ordinary phoenix bloodline, not the bloodline of the Phoenix Ancestor. Furthermore, you must declare your awakened Phoenix Supreme Body as the Phoenix Body!"

"Meiniang understands." Wu Meiniang wasn't stupid; on the contrary, she was extremely clever. She sensed something from Di Xiao's words and expression, which is why she nodded cautiously.

Di Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Mei Niang wouldn't spread rumors. Even so, Di Xiao remained cautious. After all, this involved the bloodline of the Phoenix Ancestor; if it got out, who knew what kind of turmoil it would cause.

After all, the Phoenix Ancestor and his ilk are predecessors far surpassing even the Three Pure Ones. If they were truly exposed, who knows how many ancient beings would be attracted? Perhaps even the long-lost Phoenix Clan would reappear.

Therefore, Di Xiao repeatedly warned Meiniang, and then said, "Although you are hiding your physique, having the bloodline of the phoenix will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of many. After all, to obtain you is to obtain a descendant of the phoenix clan."

"At that time, many human families eager to carry on their traditions will surely seize you and force you to bear their offspring. So, for the sake of caution and to protect you, you will become my concubine from now on. This way, if outsiders have any designs on you, they will not dare to act recklessly out of respect for me. Of course, this concubineship is only temporary. After I have grown for a while longer, I will definitely make you my wife."

In the human race today, besides the continuous imperial dynasties, there is also the phenomenon of aristocratic families. Throughout history, countless aristocratic families have been born. However, these aristocratic families are not the ancient aristocratic families in Di Xiao's memories, but rather aristocratic families shaped by cultivation and inheritance.

Especially now, with the Fire Cloud Cave suppressing the human race, it hasn't been driven to self-destruction. Therefore, many of the fallen dynasties of the past have evolved into powerful families, such as the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, the Ying family of the Qin Dynasty, and the Confucian and Taoist families.

These great families, relying on the classic texts created by their ancestors as the core, passed down their lineage and propagated their descendants. Generation after generation, they produced many powerful figures.

Although the Fire Cloud Cave had established many strict regulations for the development of these aristocratic families in order to eliminate the rigidity of human class, for example, disciples of these families whose cultivation level was below the Taiyi realm were restricted from traveling in the mortal world. Secondly, disciples of these families who had reached the Taiyi realm were also restricted from interfering in the succession of dynasties or in the affairs of the dynasty.

All these factors limited the development of human clans. However, many human clans still possess significant advantages.

Secondly, the greatest pursuit of human clans is the propagation of their members. Therefore, if they encounter a human with outstanding talent, they will try to recruit them into their own clan and then reproduce.

Over the years, aside from focusing on his cultivation, Di Xiao had heard from Xue Dingshan that some aristocratic families had come to him, wanting to win him over and send him women for matchmaking.

Fortunately, Emperor Xiao demonstrated his value and qualifications, which led the Tang Dynasty to intercept these matters.

Emperor Xiao had the confidence to refuse the human clans, but Wu Meiniang did not. Although she had awakened some good potential, she hadn't converted it into real strength, and was also being controlled by powerful forces.

Therefore, Emperor Xiao could only rely on the power Chen Wei had given to Wu Meiniang...

Wu Zetian was, after all, born into a Duke's family. She knew some of the secrets of humankind from a young age, and she also knew how much change her current qualifications and bloodline would bring.

Immediately, Wu Meiniang said with gratitude and shyness, "Meiniang will obey your orders, and I thank you for your protection. From now on, Meiniang will be your concubine. However, given the power you have shown, Your Majesty will surely try to win over the legitimate daughter. Therefore, Meiniang would never dare to compete for the position of wife."

"Haha... You don't need to be modest. Even if His Majesty were to marry his eldest daughter to me right now, you would still become my wife." Di Xiao wasn't stupid. No matter how stunning Li Shimin's eldest daughter was, how could she compare to Wu Zetian?

Di Xiao comforted Wu Meiniang, making her even more shy.

After a long time, Emperor Xiao calmed Wu Meiniang down and completely won her over.

Only then did Di Xiao ask, "Mei Niang, how much of the Phoenix Ancestor's legacy did you receive from your bloodline?"

"Two supernatural powers, and one cultivation method." Mei Niang said, not daring to hide anything, and immediately told Di Xiao about the inheritance she had received: "Master, the two supernatural powers I obtained are called Phoenix Rainbow Transformation Technique, which is a kind of flight technique. The other supernatural power is the Phoenix Clan's innate supernatural power, Nirvana. I can pass on the Phoenix Rainbow Transformation Technique to you for cultivation, but the Nirvana supernatural power is difficult to obtain."

"The cultivation method I obtained is called: Phoenix Ancestral Scripture. This scripture seems to be the fundamental method of cultivation of the Phoenix Ancestor. It is extremely profound and I cannot understand or comprehend much of it."

Upon hearing this, Di Xiao became interested, as this was the legacy of the Phoenix Ancestor: "I am naturally aware that the Phoenix Clan's innate supernatural abilities are difficult to pass on to outsiders. However, this Phoenix Transformation Rainbow Technique and the Phoenix Ancestral Scripture must be extraordinary. Pass them on to me. In addition, you should diligently cultivate these techniques from now on."

Mei Niang nodded and, using her own self-taught method, passed on her supernatural powers and cultivation techniques to Di Xiao.

Di Xiao received a small portion of the Phoenix Ancestor's legacy from Wu Meiniang.

Among them, the Phoenix Transformation into a Rainbow Technique allows one to transform into a rainbow and fly at unimaginable speed. If cultivated to its peak, one can traverse the entire primordial world in the blink of an eye.

This method of flight truly delighted Di Xiao. Although Di Xiao had acquired many cultivation methods and supernatural abilities over the years, those involving flight were few and far between. Now, this Phoenix Transformation Rainbow Technique addressed Di Xiao's deficiency.

The Nirvana Divine Fire and Nirvana Divine Power are innate abilities exclusive to the Phoenix Clan. Even with Di Xiao's wisdom, it would be difficult for him to comprehend and cultivate them. Unless Di Xiao could also obtain the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan.

On the contrary, the Phoenix Ancestral Scripture, which the Phoenix Ancestor cultivated at its core, aroused many doubts in Di Xiao.

Di Xiao frowned, trying to comprehend the secret, while Wu Meiniang seemed subtly nervous, worried about her husband: "Master, is there a problem with the inheritance I received?"

"No, the inheritance is not the problem; on the contrary, it is incredibly profound. Especially the Phoenix Ancestral Scripture, the cultivation system it involves is not the current immortal cultivation system at all. Rather, it is a cultivation system exclusive to the Phoenix Clan, or the bird clan."
