Chapter 12: Phoenix Qingxian's Sour

Feng Qingxian laughed self-deprecatingly, "There are demons outside the demons, and there are heavens outside the heavens. I once had ambitions higher than the sky and looked down on everyone else, but in the end I lost just the same, didn't I?"

"Sometimes, there's nothing wrong with admitting one's weaknesses, then working to compensate for them and correct them."

After a moment of silence, Feng Baiwei said, "It's not only because of pressure from the clan. In the Three Realms, talents are as numerous as carps crossing the river, and supreme physiques are endless. Honestly, I don't have absolute confidence."

She listed a dozen supreme physiques in a row: "The Ancient Dragon of Taixu, the Years Fox, the Female Martial God, the Immaculate Immortal Body, the Soul of Truthful Words..."

Feng Qingxian was silent for a long time before he exhaled deeply, "Thousands of years ago, the war of the three worlds fell so many strong individuals, only one in ten great ones survived. Now that successors of the supreme physique are appearing, it seems a grand era of strife has arrived..."

"Master, I won't let down the prestige of the Phoenix Clan!" Feng Baiwei promised.

"Baiwei, I really don't want to keep pressuring you, but you must comprehend another divine skill," Feng Qingxian said softly. "The innate divine skill of the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix, the Nirvana Rebirth, is too passive. It can only be used when one's life is in danger. Being trapped in a peaceful place as I am now, it is difficult to unleash, and its limitations are great."

Although the Supreme Strength Physique contained divine techniques, comprehension of them had to be personal, and there was a large number of people who possessed a Supreme Strength Physique but could not comprehend divine techniques.

The natural divine techniques, on the other hand, were innate abilities that came with the physique upon awakening. They were inherent skills, but Supreme Strength Physiques possessing natural divine techniques were far and few between.

"It's not like I'm trying to become a primordial being that creates divine techniques. Just comprehending them, I'm still confident," Feng Baiwei stated with gravity.

Wizards who weren't Supreme Strength Bodies and created a divine technique could cause their physique to transform into a Supreme Strength Body. Such individuals were called primordials.

Of course, someone born with a Supreme Strength Physique who then created a new divine skill could also be called a Primordial Generation.

Most Supreme Power Bodies contained just one divine skill, but exceptions with more than one were quite rare.

When the successor of a Supreme Strength Body became a Primordial Generation, the next inheritor could potentially comprehend two divine techniques.

The most Supreme Strength Physique known currently contained five divine techniques. However, there were very few people who could comprehend two divine techniques simultaneously, and those who mastered three were even rarer!

Feng Qingxian sighed, "The Supreme Strength Physique is rare, and so are the divine techniques. You are the only one who can rely on yourself in this matter. What I can do is to help you comprehend the Divine Phoenix True Law as soon as possible."

The deeper the comprehension of the Divine Phoenix True Law, the greater the strength of the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix bloodline and the many divine techniques it contained. Divine techniques were difficult to grasp and even more challenging to create. The main means of combat in the cultivation world hinged upon divine abilities.

Some battle demons could even defeat a Supreme Body that had comprehended a divine skill with their mighty divine abilities, shattering the myth of invincibility!

Feng Baiwei looked resolute, "I'll not disappoint you, Master!"

Gu Junlin, who had been silent and listening attentively, perceived the growing solemnity and attempted to lighten the atmosphere by grasping Feng Qingxian's hand and inquiring,

"Master, what kind of physique do I have? Do I have a divine skill?"

Feng Baiwei also cast a curious glance at Feng Qingxian, given her limited knowledge of the Yin Yang Sacred Body, which she knew of only from Elder Qiu Frost.

Feng Qingxian looked somewhat embarrassed and hesitant to speak.

"Don't I have a special physique?" Gu Junlin's expression dimmed, as children often hope for unique traits.

"Jun Lin, the Yin Yang Sacred Body that you possess is among the most powerful, but regarding Divine Skills... there is too little record of them for me to be certain. Once you awaken, it will become clear," Feng Qingxian responded after careful consideration, choosing to withhold certain truths, including the natural divine skill of Dual Cultivation synonymous with the Yin Yang Sacred Body.

As for whether the Yin Yang Sacred Body contained other divine techniques, Feng Qingxian was unsure, as the records were scant and nearly extinct. The Yin Yang Sacred Body was seldom known publicly, largely because its possessors were typically sequestered once identified to avoid capture and exploitation.

The Yin Yang Sacred Body defied the established belief that dual cultivation methods weaken one's foundation. Instead, it fosters robust growth without damaging the foundation, even strengthening it in some cases. The Human Race's Acacia Sect rose to prominence by leveraging the Yin Yang Sacred Body, transforming from an insignificant sect into a powerhouse teeming with formidable members.

When Gu Junlin heard that his was a Supreme Body, his eyes shimmered with excitement.

Feng Qingxian chuckled, "Your physique is a truly unique existence among the supreme bodies. Typically, supreme bodies originate from primordial Creation Divine Skills passed down through bloodlines. In contrast, the Yin Yang Sacred Body is innately forged by nature, with successors emerging randomly among countless individuals. It's safe to say, Jun Lin, that you're a favored child of destiny."

Upon hearing this, Gu Junlin's smile widened, pleased by his distinctiveness.

Feng Baiwei, however, pondered deeply. How could such an innate physique as the Yin Yang Sacred Body remain so obscure? She resolved to delve deeper into its records upon her return.

"Enough about supreme bodies," Feng Qingxian interjected, clearing her throat to signify class was beginning. "Baiwei, express the doubts you've encountered in practicing the Divine Phoenix True Method."
