This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

With the help of the Purple Qi Thunder Fruit, Li Daoxuan's dantian was replenished to the fifth level of the Heaven Realm again after three months.

His physical body was even stronger than that of a martial artist at the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm.

This is thanks to the help of top-grade natural treasures.

Early in the morning, Li Daoxuan practiced his martial arts in the courtyard.

The girl was cooking porridge not far away.

It was already winter, and the weather was freezing cold.

In previous years, this time of year was the time when people were most likely to starve or freeze to death.

But ever since Li Daoxuan moved into her house, the girl has found that she has never gone hungry.

Not only that, but she also wore deerskin to keep warm in winter.

These are days I never dared to dream of before.

However, now, the girl who watches Li Daoxuan practice his skills every day is gradually developing some other thoughts.

She also wanted to learn Li Daoxuan's skills, which she had heard were called martial arts.

After mastering martial arts, they were no longer afraid of even the undercurrents.

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Daoxuan's voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, and he quickly said:

"It's nothing... The porridge is ready, let's eat..."

After saying that, he took a large porcelain basin and filled it with a large bowl of meat porridge for Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't point it out.

After breakfast, when Li Daoxuan shouldered his bag and went out again, the girl still didn't dare to speak.

In the evening, Li Daoxuan returned home laden with spoils.

He ate and practiced his martial arts as he pleased.

Even as night fell, the girl remained silent.

Until the next morning.

The sky was just beginning to lighten when the still-sleepy girl was awakened by Li Daoxuan's knocking on the door.

The girl was somewhat frightened and quickly stood up to ask:

"What's up?"

"come out."

The girl, puzzled, quickly put on her animal skin coat and went outside.

After seeing her come out, Li Daoxuan turned and left, then waved to her from the center of the courtyard.

"come over..."

The girl still didn't know what to do, but she had long since become accustomed to obeying Li Daoxuan, so she dared not disobey.

The two faced each other, about ten feet apart.

Li Daoxuan slowly exhaled and said in a deep voice:

"Watch my movements and breathing carefully, and follow along..."

The girl hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped, and said:

"What...is this for?"

Li Daoxuan said calmly:

"Didn't you want to learn martial arts?"

The girl was taken aback, then her eyes lit up with intense surprise.

"Really? You're willing to teach me martial arts?"

Li Daoxuan shook his head.

The girl was taken aback upon seeing this, and her expression quickly darkened.

But then Li Daoxuan said:

"I only teach my own students. Are you one of my students?"

"Huh?"

The girl was a little taken aback.

After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying:

"I am your disciple, and I will always be your disciple..."

Li Daoxuan smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then you'll call me Master from now on. What's your name...?"

The girl quickly replied:

"My name is Er Ya..."

Li Daoxuan frowned and shook his head, saying:

"This name isn't good, I'll come up with a new one for you."

"The divine phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes."

"From now on, you shall be called Divine Phoenix."

The girl didn't understand what "Divine Phoenix" meant.

But she could tell that this name sounded much better than Er Ya's.

"Thank you, Master, for the name..."

Li Daoxuan helped her up and then began to teach Shenhuang martial arts step by step.

He had been guessing that the Xuanhuang Ancient Path hadn't sent him to this world to experience a living hell.

There must be some purpose behind it.

For example, how to change the state of the world, find the source of the undercurrents, and restore a bright and clear world.

If that's the case, his strength alone is definitely not enough.

Therefore, he must train more people to stand up and resist.

He wants to spread the seeds of martial arts, so that everyone has the ability to resist the undercurrents and overthrow the rule of the gods.

The Divine Phoenix is ​​just the beginning; many more will surely appear after her.

Only in this way can the world be completely changed.

In the days that followed, Li Daoxuan not only attempted to break through to the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm, but also taught the Divine Phoenix martial arts and basic principles of conduct.

At the very least, one should have a basic sense of right and wrong, and understand that absurd things such as cannibalism and sacrificing relatives are against human ethics and morality.

Days passed by, and winter gradually came to an end.

Li Daoxuan naturally broke through to the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm.

Under his personal guidance and nourished by spiritual herbs, Shenhuang finally made up for her deficiencies and was only one step away from entering the first level of martial arts.

Since she started practicing martial arts with Li Daoxuan, Shenhuang has never entered the temple again, nor has she ever knelt before the statue.

Most of the time, she doesn't even remember that there are any so-called gods.

It wasn't until the blood bead, which served as a medium for divine power, began to dim that the Divine Phoenix realized something was wrong.

"Master... what should we do?"

The Divine Phoenix, who had successfully ascended to the first level of heaven, tugged at Li Daoxuan's sleeve in fear.

Three months have passed since he cultivated to the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm.

The higher the level, the longer it naturally takes to break through.

Three months have passed, and Li Daoxuan is still in the middle stage of the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm, still some distance away from perfection.

However, he had tried it, and with his sixth-level cultivation, he already had a certain ability to protect himself in that dark current.

However, it still couldn't hold out until the undercurrent receded.

Now the power of this bead is no longer sufficient.

Li Daoxuan remained silent, pondering which place he should "borrow" next.

The Divine Phoenix looked uneasy and stammered:

"Master...how about...I go find something to offer to the gods..."

"shut up..."

Before Shenhuang could finish speaking, Li Daoxuan rebuked her.

In any case, refusing to bow to evil gods was the first thing Li Daoxuan insisted on after coming to this world.

Because once one bows one's head and kneels before the gods to offer one's faith and piety, there is absolutely no way one can surpass the gods.

Sacrifice is not just a formality; it requires genuine piety. Otherwise, you will not receive divine protection. So, just going through the motions is useless.

Shenhuang dared not mention the matter again, but she suddenly remembered something else.

"Master, I heard someone say that there's a town about a hundred miles away from our village, and the people living in that town don't have to worry about running out of divine power..."

Li Daoxuan also saw this information from his memory.

He felt nothing but deep resentment towards this.

If maintaining the peace of a single house requires constant sacrifices, how many lives would it take to maintain a city?

Despite his aversion to it, this place is at least a safe haven for him to cultivate in peace right now.

I just don't know what price I'll have to pay after getting here.

Moreover, he doesn't necessarily have to go to the city. If he can break through to the seventh level or even higher, the Dark Tide will no longer be able to do anything to him.
