The fearsomeness of the Pan Ni Phoenix Physique lies in the fact that unless it can be destroyed in one go, its soul scattered to the winds, it will only grow stronger and stronger.
Unfortunately, the Pan Ni Phoenix Physique possesses exceptionally strong vitality, making it incredibly difficult to obliterate.
The potency of the Pan Ni Phoenix Physique was something Xia Ningxue and Lu Changsheng had experienced profoundly.
“Candidates for the Demon Realm’s Divine Child…”
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy realized that allowing Xia Ningxue to visit the Demon Realm to broaden her horizons might not have been a good decision.
Candidates for the Demon Realm’s Divine Child are different from those for the Holy Son.
The Holy Son candidate is merely an unparalleled genius within a Holy Land, while the Divine Child candidate is a monstrous genius throughout the entire Demon Realm, with the chance to become the Demon Race’s Divine Son, and even a Demon God.
“How is it?”
The leader of the Kui Phoenix Tribe was quite pleased with the reactions of the delegates from Guanghan Holy Land.
His son had become one of the candidates for the Demon Realm’s Divine Child, elevating the entire Kui Phoenix Tribe’s status. In his view, Guanghan Holy Land was no longer an equal force; how could it be difficult for his son to marry a Holy Maiden?
However, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy was only surprised for a moment before she spoke again, “Her dao partner is the Holy Son of Mount Taihua, do you really want to offend both our Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua at the same time?”
“This…”
The Kui Phoenix Tribe’s leader heard about the marriage alliance between Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua, and his face changed slightly as he found himself hesitant to act rashly.
The Kui Phoenix Tribe may be mighty, with his son having the bloodline of the Ancient Phoenix Tribe and awakening the Pan Ni Phoenix Physique.
But the other parties are two human Holy Lands!
Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua are sects established during the rise of the human race, later evolving into human cultivation Holy Lands. A single Kui Phoenix Tribe would not dare to offend two human Holy Lands at the same time.
“Hahaha, I was merely jesting with you all. Let’s consider this matter as if it never happened. The treasures that your Guanghan Palace needs will be prepared by my people for the trade,” said the Kui Phoenix Tribe’s leader, his attitude doing a one-eighty switch, sweeping away the previous displeasure and still treating the delegates of Guanghan Holy Land with the courtesy due to honored guests.
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy naturally knew that the Kui Phoenix Tribe leader had changed his attitude because he dared not offend both Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua. However, both sides understood this and still needed to maintain their cooperation.
Guanghan Palace crafted artifacts and Immortal Pills, some materials of which came from the Demon Realm.
The Demon Race was not as capable as the human race in crafting artifacts and Immortal Pills, so the Kui Phoenix Tribe also needed artifacts and Immortal Pills from Guanghan Palace. They traded raw materials for finished products, with both parties meeting their respective needs.
Jin Yun Immortal Fairy, after careful inspection, received the Space Ring full of treasures delivered by the Kui Phoenix Tribe and piled up like a mountain. Only then did she hand over the Space Ring filled with artifacts and Immortal Pills to the Kui Phoenix Tribe.
“We should return to the Holy Land to avoid any longer delays that could lead to complications.”
As the younger sister of the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace, Jin Yun Immortal Fairy, with her extensive knowledge and experience, noticed a shift in the attitude of the Kui Phoenix Tribe leader. After completing the transaction, she immediately led the group back the way they had come.
The Demon Realm is not like the Immortal Realm. In the Immortal Realm, all the major sects, prestigious families, dynasties, and Holy Lands show some deference to Guanghan Palace, but in the Demon Realm, there are numerous tribes that dare to provoke Holy Lands.
The Demon God, who rules over the Demon Realm, is succeeded by the Divine Child chosen from the various tribes and is more like the leader of a tribal alliance. Not every tribe necessarily strictly follows the Demon God’s orders.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for powerful individuals from the Demon Race to enter the Immortal Realm and cause trouble everywhere.
Though Jin Yun Immortal Fairy is not weak, she is still not a match for the Great Experts among the Demon Race, which is why leaving is the best course of action.
“Young Sect Leader, the people of Guanghan Holy Land have already left.”
“Inform the Celestial Wolf Tribe to stand guard at the entrance between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm,” instructed the Kui Phoenix Tribe’s young leader as he watched the delegation from Guanghan Holy Land depart, calling over a subordinate to send a message to the Celestial Wolf Tribe.
The chief of the Kui Phoenix Tribe was nearby and did not stop him, “Qi, Guanghan Palace is not to be trifled with. The Great Expert who founded Guanghan Palace had once accepted our Kui Phoenix Tribe’s ancestor as the Mountain-guarding Divine Beast. After that Great Expert fell, our ancestor came to the Demon Realm. Do not mess this up.”
The Kui Phoenix Tribe’s young leader, addressed as Qi, sneered, “Father, our Kui Phoenix Tribe has a stronger backer, why should we fear Guanghan Palace? Using the name of the Celestial Wolf Tribe, I will capture the Holy Maiden of Guanghan. How can they investigate further? Even if we offend both Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua at the same time, someone will support us. Once I become the Divine Son of the Demon Race, I will eventually unify the Demon Realm. By then, our Kui Phoenix Tribe will reach its zenith.”
The chief of the Kui Phoenix Tribe was persuaded.
Although the Kui Phoenix Tribe is one of the highly ranked tribes in the Demon Realm, it cannot compare to the few ancient tribes at the forefront, especially the Primordial Dragon Clan.
If his son truly becomes the Divine Son, the Kui Phoenix Tribe would rise to the heavens in a single step.
The potential of the Pan Ni Phoenix Physique is immeasurable.
…
At Mount Taihua, Lu Changsheng was oblivious to the turmoil in the Demon Realm, cultivating with many disciples at Taihua Divine Mountain’s Yuntai Peak.
Second-generation disciple Li Jianfei and Luo Xintang, along with third-generation disciple Xiaojin and others, also moved to Yuntai Peak. This way, it facilitated Lu Changsheng’s guidance.
Actually, for the cultivation of second and third-generation disciples, there was no need for Lu Changsheng to personally instruct them. Lin Qingzhi, Xiao Fan, Dugu Aotian, and others could guide these disciples in their cultivation.
One day, Lin Qingzhi saw the sun rise over Taihua Divine Mountain, its dawn light pouring down in torrents, molten gold stretching for thousands of miles, and the sea of clouds surging with the bamboo forest swaying gracefully. While gazing upon this sight, he unconsciously entered a state of sudden enlightenment.
“Master, what’s wrong with you?”
Li Jianfei, who was practicing a cultivation technique under Lin Qingzhi’s guidance, noticed his master suddenly freeze and thought something had happened to him.
“Qingzhi has entered the state of sudden enlightenment. This is a tremendous opportunity of the immortals. Do not disturb him.”
Lu Changsheng appeared in time, preventing everyone from disturbing Lin Qingzhi’s moment of enlightenment of the cultivation technique.
Those who entered the state of sudden enlightenment achieved unity with heaven and earth. If they were disturbed by the outside world, at the least they would fall out of the state of sudden enlightenment, and at worst, they could succumb to madness due to improperly channeled energy.

“This disciple is truly defying the heavens…”
Even Lu Changsheng had to rely on Enlightenment Tea from Taihua Holy Land to reach the state of sudden enlightenment, and even then, the duration was extremely short.
However, Lin Qingzhi, who possessed the Heart of the Innocent, frequently entered the state of sudden enlightenment in the Immortal Realm, just as often as Lu Changsheng would drift off during a lecture in his previous life.
The Heart of the Innocent held great potential for the future.
“One cup of tea’s time has passed…”
“Two cups of tea’s time have passed…”
“A quarter of an hour has passed…”
“It can’t be, can it?”
Lu Changsheng considered himself well-read and knowledgeable after arriving in the Immortal Realm, having studied the classics of Taihua Holy Land. However, the length of time Lin Qingzhi had been in the state of sudden enlightenment had exceeded a quarter of an hour!
What kind of heaven-defying talent was this?
Not coming out of the state of sudden enlightenment?
Lu Changsheng broke out in a cold sweat.
If Lin Qingzhi had not received the inheritance from the Divine Tree Immortal Emperor and acquired the Everlasting Verdant Body, he would have been the disciple with the least talent among all of Lu Changsheng’s disciples.
That was what Lu Changsheng had originally thought.
But in the Immortal Realm, even without the Everlasting Verdant Body, possessing both the Heart of the Innocent and the Innate Spirit Vein made Lin Qingzhi an extremely monstrous existence.
Nobody needed a reason. Just by frequently entering the state of sudden enlightenment for extended periods, Lin Qingzhi could dazzle all the Holy Lands.
“Grand Master, Master’s aura seems to be undergoing a transformation.”
Li Jianfei sensed Lin Qingzhi’s aura changing dramatically and couldn’t believe it.
Lu Qinglian, Xiao Fan, Ning Qianqian, Su Xiaoqi, Dugu Aotian, Chen Yi, and other direct disciples gathered around, showing even more reverence for their eldest senior brother.
The eldest senior brother truly lived up to his name, staying in the state of sudden enlightenment for such a long time.
“He has already broken through the eighth level of the Daluo Golden Immortal and reached the ninth level. Now, he is about to step into the Quasi-Emperor realm.”
Lu Changsheng clearly understood Lin Qingzhi’s current state.
Lin Qingzhi was about to skip two whole realms!
Defying the heavens.
It was truly a defiance of the heavens.
Lu Changsheng had never dreamed that among his disciples—those reincarnated as the Dragon Emperor, the Demon Lord, Buddha, those with the Body of Nothingness, the War Heaven Tyrant Body, the Martial King Divine Physique, and many more with monstrous talent—his eldest disciple Lin Qingzhi would still be the first to enter the Quasi-Emperor realm.
It seemed the system had not been wrong in having him choose Lin Qingzhi, a disciple of seemingly average talent, for there was intent behind it.
This disciple was also a monster.
“The eldest senior brother truly embodies what it means to be a role model for us all. We must cultivate even harder.”
“Amitabha Buddha.”
All the monstrous disciples wholeheartedly acknowledged Lin Qingzhi’s position as the chief disciple of Qingyun Peak.
