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

The town under the jurisdiction of Dongbao Shangzong is a secluded, uninhabited place, a secret stronghold established by the Pei family from the outer region.

Two rows of men in black surrounded Pan Maoxin tightly.

The leader sat in a black sedan chair, with long, sparse, graying silver hair, and wrinkles on his face that outlined a harsh expression.

He looked down at Pan Maoxing and asked, "So, you're the one who said you had news about the demoness of the Myriad Love Path?"

Pan Maoxin knelt on the ground, looking disheveled.

He raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, burning with hatred: "Yes. The enchantress of the Myriad Emotions Path that you are looking for is hiding in the Eastern Treasure Sect."

"That person is Yu Luoning, a disciple of Zhexue Peak."

The old man in black slightly raised his eyelids and said in a low voice, "Is this Zhe Xuefeng from that place? Boy, do you think I'm easy to fool? Why should I believe you?"

Pan Maoxin laughed heartily.

"On the day the Primordial Realm closes, everyone will have to undergo a test in front of the Karma Stone."

"It just so happens that the Karma Stone, which should have shattered earlier or later, was destroyed by Cui Xiu just as Yu Luoning approached. If Yu Luoning were just an ordinary disciple, why would Cui Xiu offend you all for her sake?"

"This can only prove one thing. Yu Luoning is the successor of the Myriad Emotions Path, and Cui Xiu is also covering up her identity."

"That alone is not enough to convince me," the elder in black shook his head.

Pan Maoxin gritted his teeth and continued, "I have more evidence. She... escaped from the Soul Devouring Array set up by my grandfather. How could someone with only Foundation Establishment cultivation possibly defeat my grandfather, who has Golden Core cultivation? There must be something strange about this woman."

At this point, Pan Maoxin became emotional and shouted, "Words are no proof. If you still don't believe me, sir, I am willing to open my divine sense and let you search my soul. Once you have seen my memories, you will know the truth. If there is even the slightest falsehood, I will be at your mercy."

"Can."

The smile on the old man's face faded.

The next moment, the world spun around, and Pan Maoxin was frozen in place by a force.

The old man's eyes turned cold as an extremely domineering spiritual force invaded his sea of ​​consciousness, relentlessly searching for memories related to Yu Luoning and Cui Xiu.

After watching all the images, the old man sneered repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

His voice was hoarse as he continued in a deep voice, "Your news is very good."

"Once my Pei family, together with the other six families, kills the successor of the Myriad Emotions Path, I will fulfill my promise."

Due to the prolonged soul-collecting process, Pan Maoxin lay weakly on the ground, with even fine blood trickling from his seven orifices.

He endured the pain and bowed, saying, "Thank you, sir."

"My Pan family has already offended the Dongbao Sect. If we inform the lord of this matter today, I fear they will be even less tolerant of us in the future."

"I urge you, my lord, to relocate the remaining bloodline of my Pan family to the outer realms as soon as possible."

The old man looked down at him and said indifferently, "This is easy to discuss."

Amidst swirling clouds and mist, atop the mountain peaks stretching for thousands of miles, Feng Qiguang is undergoing the Purple Palace Tribulation.

Upon returning from the Li family, Feng Qiguang felt a sense of urgency upon learning that Li Yunyu had gone into seclusion to cultivate again.

Li Yunyu was a worthy opponent for him. The two liked the same person and their cultivation levels were once similar, but unknowingly he had fallen far behind.

After returning to Beichuan, he devoted himself to cultivation.

Besides his competitive spirit towards his rival, he also genuinely wanted to have the ability to protect Yu Luoning.

As the true phoenix son of the Feng family, the Feng family patriarch Feng Xichen and patriarch Feng Tianyuan personally mobilized the family's resources and opened the treasury to provide Feng Qiguang with the pills he needed to break through to the Purple Mansion realm.

In just a few months, Feng Qiguang's accumulation has reached perfection ahead of schedule, and he is about to face the Purple Mansion Tribulation.

At the mountaintop, streaks of purple lightning ripped through the sky.

Phoenix Perches on the Disc, kneeling, using Phoenix True Fire to defend itself.

Meanwhile, on the observation platform a mile away, the Feng clan members, led by Feng Xichen, watched intently at the commotion atop the peak.

Feng Tianyuan was so nervous that he dared not breathe. His chest pounded violently, as if he were enduring a tribulation of lightning.

Feng Qiguang possesses the bloodline of a true phoenix, making the power of this Purple Mansion Tribulation many times stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.

Everyone held their breath.

When the final bolt of lightning struck, the world seemed to change color.

With a thunderous roar, the entire mountain peak was dyed with a dazzling purple-gold divine light.

Feng Xichen was the first to use teleportation, landing next to Feng Qiguang.

He stared at the straight figure in the center of the smoke and dust, his heart pounding with excitement.

Feng Qiguang caught the last lightning tribulation and completed his body tempering.

His wounds healed quickly, and his once youthful aura became calm and composed; he had undergone a complete transformation.

Overjoyed, Feng Qiguang exclaimed, "Ancestor, I've succeeded!"

Feng Xichen was overjoyed. "Excellent! Another cultivator at the Purple Mansion Realm has emerged from my Feng family. Heaven blesses my Feng family!"

Everyone was immersed in joy when suddenly, a disciple of the Feng family rushed over.

"The Mohist school?"

Feng Tianyuan was slightly taken aback.

The group exchanged glances. The Feng family and the Mo family didn't have much interaction. The last time was when Mo Fei, the young master of the Mo family, came with people from the Dongbao Continent to relieve the Feng family's siege.

The Feng family will always remember this kindness.

But why would the Mohists send a letter at this time?

Feng Tianyuan took the letter, raised his hand to unravel the spiritual runes on it, and his expression changed drastically after reading the contents of the letter.

Feng Xichen sensed something was wrong and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Feng Tianyuan raised his head slightly, his tone solemn, "Ancestor, this matter is of utmost importance, as it concerns the safety of Qiguang."

Feng Xichen's gaze darkened, and he casually unleashed a beam of spiritual light, enveloping both Feng Tianyuan and Feng Qiguang.

The next instant, the three disappeared from the mountaintop and appeared in the Feng family's ancestral home.

Feng Qiguang took the letter, which stated that recently someone had been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Phoenix bloodline in the outer realms, and even Grandpa Mofei was almost possessed.

After reading the letter, Feng Qiguang's expression turned solemn.

"What they're looking for... is probably not ordinary phoenix blood," Feng Tianyuan said in a deep voice. "Currently, the only people who possess pure phoenix blood, besides Qi Guang, are Miss Yu."

"The letter also mentioned that those people have begun investigating Toho Continent."

Feng Qiguang's fingers tightened suddenly, and the letter crumpled in his palm.

Although his phoenix bloodline has returned to its ancestral form, it is still inferior to Yu Luoning's.

If those people are looking for the true Phoenix Blood that possesses the power of rebirth, then Ningning is the most likely person to be targeted.

Feng Qiguang panicked and turned to leave.

Feng Tianyuan shouted sternly, "Where are you going?"

Feng Qiguang was deeply worried. "I must go to Dongbao Continent. Ningning needs me right now."

Feng Tianyuan: "You have just survived the tribulation of lightning, and your realm is not yet stable. Moreover, this matter has not yet been investigated. It may well be a trap deliberately set by some people."

Feng Qiguang didn't stop walking. "By the time you find out what happened to her, she might already be in trouble. I have to go find her."

Feng Tianyuan wanted to say something, but Feng Xichen raised his hand to stop him.

"Let him go. You know how he feels about that girl. Even if you stop him today, he'll find a way to leave tomorrow."

Feng Tianyuan sighed, "I know, but isn't Ningning already accompanied by someone? With Qiguang's cultivation level, even if he went, he might not be able to help."

Feng Xichen was silent for a moment, then said, "How will we know if we don't go? We've been separated for too long; it's time we got together..."

With the ancestor's permission, Feng Qiguang did not delay any longer.

He had just undergone tribulation, and the spiritual energy within his body had not yet fully recovered, yet he directly used the Transcendent Technique.

Upon seeing this, Feng Tianyuan's expression darkened once again.

"You've just broken through; you should at least stabilize your realm first..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Qiguang's figure had already disappeared into the spatial rift.

Following the location he remembered, he made his way towards the Eastern Treasure Continent.

However, his teleportation technique is only at the intermediate level, meaning he can only travel a few thousand miles at a time, not ten thousand.

At first, things went smoothly until the third time they crossed the sky, when the space in front of them began to shake violently, and Feng Qiguang's expression changed slightly.

The previously stable spatial passage suddenly twisted, and a powerful suction force abruptly changed his landing point.
