Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

At this moment, Feng Qiguang has also reached a critical moment of awakening.

Soon after, a clear phoenix cry also erupted from his body.

In the golden light, a magnificent phoenix phantom appeared, its wings spread wide.

The arrogant and domineering phoenix phantom behind Feng Qiguang let out a low cry after seeing the Primordial Phoenix behind Yu Luoning. The cry was filled with awe and trembling.

Its wings folded slightly, and it knelt down devoutly in the direction of Yu Luoning.

The Lord of All Phoenixes, the First Phoenix in the World.

Before it, all descendants of the phoenix bloodline are subjects, a submission that comes from the depths of their souls.

At this moment, Feng Qiguang slowly opened his eyes.

He lowered his eyes, clenched his fist, and felt a powerful True Phoenix bloodline within his body.

"Little Phoenix, how are you feeling?"

The phoenix perches, its light turning back.

In the thin spiritual energy of this moment, he looked at the woman in front of him.

For some reason, when he saw Xiao Guai, he felt an almost fanatical adoration.

However, he did not feel humiliated; on the contrary, he felt endless fascination and longing.

"Little darling, you..."

"I forgot to tell you, I've also awakened the True Phoenix bloodline. From now on, there will only be two True Phoenixes in the world."

Feng Qiguang's phoenix eyes immediately brightened, filled with undisguised joy.

At this moment, the two had been in the central part of the spiritual vein for nearly half an hour.

The spiritual veins were drying up at a visible rate, losing all their essence.

Yu Luoning watched all of this calmly.

Having lost this spiritual vein, it's uncertain whether the Northern Sword Alliance will still be able to act so arrogantly in the future.

After doing all this, the two traveled to the ruins of the main hall.

At this moment, Elder Feng San, holding a compass in his hand and covered in sweat, was completely dumbfounded when he saw Feng Qiguang and Yu Luoning swaggering out.

Before even inquiring about the condition of the spiritual vein, his gaze glazed over as he stared at Feng Qiguang, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Your aura... Xiao Guang, have you broken through?"

This is no ordinary breakthrough.

At this moment, although Feng Qiguang appeared to be in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, his body was radiating a vast pure yang fire.

That is the legacy of the divine beast, the True Phoenix.

Has the true phoenix bloodline truly been formed?

The Feng family has finally lived up to its name.

He'll get angry with anyone who says they're descendants of pheasants.

"Third Grandfather, your grandson has lived up to your expectations." Feng Qiguang smiled slightly.

He added, "From now on, the spiritual vein of the Northern Sword Alliance will probably become famous on the Eastern Treasure Continent. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here has been completely devoured by me and Xiao Guai."

Before the words were even finished, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the room.

The elite disciples of the Feng family looked at the two of them as if they were ordinary people.

It should be understood that no one has ever been able to devour an entire spiritual vein, at most extracting a small wisp of its essence.

But they not only awakened their bloodline through the spiritual veins, they also drained the spiritual veins from this place.

This is not cultivation at all; this is severing the lineage of human cultivation!

The crowd was still reeling from the shock.

Suddenly, a muffled and violent rumbling sound rang out, and the entire underground palace trembled violently.

It turns out that without the support of innate spiritual power, the entire mountain range was unstable.

"Oh no! The spiritual veins are depleted! This mountain range is about to collapse on a large scale! We need to retreat!"

Yu Luoning's expression turned solemn, and without the slightest hesitation, he formed a hand seal.

A massive purple circle instantly teleported everyone away.

Meanwhile, the outer perimeter of the mountain range, within a radius of a hundred miles, began to collapse at its core.

Normally, the mountain, shrouded in spiritual mist and revered as sacred by the Northern Sword Alliance, is filled with deafening roars.

Amidst this cataclysmic upheaval, countless extremely dazzling sword lights hurtled towards us like madmen.

"Want to leave? Don't even think about it!"

Jiang Mohan, the leader of the Northern Sword Alliance who arrived first, roared angrily.

He raised his hand and took out a black disc-shaped magical artifact.

This magical artifact hovered in the void, and in an instant, the entire world seemed to freeze.

Yu Luoning was about to use the teleportation technique to escape when she discovered that she couldn't tear open a passage at all.

"It's no use. My magic weapon can block all teleportation and escape. You are already trapped in this world, with nowhere to escape."

At this moment, the elders of various clans and high-level cultivators all stopped in the sky, looking at the ruins, and almost fell off their flying swords.

"Our spiritual veins have collapsed? What have you done?"

This innate spiritual vein, which had sustained the fortunes of the northern noble families for thousands of years, was thus drained dry.

What terrified them even more was that as the spiritual vein collapsed, a rumbling sound also came from deep underground.

The underground currents that were once cut off by ancient restrictions have now broken through the seals set up by the three families of the Northern Sword Alliance.

It turned around and flowed back in the direction it had flowed in a thousand years ago.

"Oh no! Quickly stop that river! That's the River of Soul Trapping; we can't let it change course!"

The Jiang family elders were hysterical, but no matter how they tried to cast spells, it was to no avail.

Yu Luoning looked completely bewildered. At that moment, the Third Elder suddenly whispered, "I didn't expect the rumors to be true."

Yu Luoning pricked up her ears, looking curious. "What rumor?"

"It is said that this spiritual vein was not formed naturally. Thousands of years ago, several powerful clans, led by the Jiang family, used an ancient forbidden technique to forcibly condense a top-grade spiritual vein. Legend has it that they cut off the mother river on which hundreds of thousands of mortal cities depended for survival. Look at that changed river channel, it seems that this is true."

Upon hearing this, Yu Luoning was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

Originally, I only intended to punish the Northern Sword Alliance and absorb some of their spiritual veins, but I didn't expect it to cause the mountain range to collapse and the severed river to return to its original position.

It's true, when a whale falls, all things come to life.

"What did you do?"

Jiang Mohan's eyes were bloodshot.

Feng Qiguang sneered: "I didn't do anything, I just wiped out your lineage."

"How dare you?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? You dared to slaughter the entire city and exterminate my Feng family. Are we not allowed to retaliate?"

Jiang Mohan was furious: "Arrogant and conceited! Do you think you can leave alive? Do you think the Northern Sword Alliance is without anyone? I will extract your souls, refine your spirits, destroy your foundations, and condemn you to eternal damnation!"

After speaking, Jiang Mohan cast a spell, and the terrifying majesty of a Golden Core expert swept down upon the Feng family members below.

Feng Qiguang and the Third Elder turned pale and drew their longswords, holding them horizontally in front of Yu Luoning.

But when they faced Jiang Mohan, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, even the swords in their hands trembled.

At this critical juncture, a stalemate where life and death hung in the balance.

With a buzzing sound.

A powerful and eerie purple figure appeared on the battlefield without warning.

No one knows when he arrived, and no one saw how he appeared.

He's too fast.

Even the Han and Sun family patriarchs, who had dominated the north for hundreds of years, couldn't even catch a glimpse of their opponent's afterimage.

"Who goes there? State your name!" Jiang Mohan was startled and shouted loudly.

Cui Xiu's long hair danced wildly in the air, completely ignoring the questions.

She glanced at Yu Luoning out of the corner of her eye with a hint of disdain.

The thought of that brat taking liberties with her and then handing over the sword she had lent her to someone else made Cui Xiu grit her teeth.
