章節 108: Phoenix Blood
[Seizing the opportunity while Xiongba is in seclusion, you unintentionally pretend to arrive at Tianxia Association's lakeside pavilion. With your overwhelming charm, you manage to win over You Ruo, who has seen few men, and the two of you consummate your relationship.
When Xiongba learned of this after coming out of seclusion, though he had the urge to curse, he could only accept it with resignation.
Xiongba consoled himself by thinking this could be considered a good thing—after all, a son-in-law is like half a son, right? With your relationship with You Ruo, Xiongba trusted you even more and, in front of Qin Shuang and the others, made his will.
If he were to die at the hands of Sword Saint, you, his direct disciple and son-in-law, would inherit the Tianxia Association's power.
On the day of the decisive battle, they arrived quickly. Through your underhanded scheme, Xiongba was killed by Sword Saint's "Sword Twenty-Three," and you smoothly became the new leader of the Tianxia Association.
Indeed, as the mud prophet foretold, "Rising because of Fengyun, falling because of Fengyun."]
[Year 11: Far away in Japan, Jue Wushen learned of Xiongba's fall and resumed his plan to invade China. However, thanks to your prior preparations, Jue Wushen was ambushed and eliminated by Nie Feng and his team shortly after stepping into China.]
[Year 12: As you were cultivating your "Three Divisions Return to Yuan Qi" in seclusion as usual, a strange person wearing an icy mask suddenly appeared in your secret chamber. Before you had time to call for help, the man, who called himself "Di Shitian," appeared in front of you as if he had teleported. You died!]

Xiao Feng's expression changed slightly as he locked his eyes on the Phoenix Blood.
In the original "Fengyun" storyline, Di Shitian survived for nearly two thousand years by consuming Phoenix Blood.
If Xiao Feng could obtain the Phoenix Blood, he wouldn't have to worry about his lifespan anymore.
Unfortunately, Xiao Feng didn't have enough merit points—he only had around 47,000 points and couldn't directly buy the Phoenix Blood. Instead, he spent over 44,000 points to buy the eight relatively cheaper simulation rewards.
Now, Xiao Feng only needed to select one reward randomly from the two most expensive options. He had a 50% chance of drawing the Phoenix Blood, which was worth 200,000 points of merit.
"Let the drawing begin!"
With Xiao Feng's thought, the two most expensive simulation rewards were sealed in two identical treasure chests.
Xiao Feng stared at the two chests for a while, his face filled with tension and anticipation. In the end, he chose the chest on the left.
"Swish!"
Under Xiao Feng's anxious and eager gaze, the blue and white treasure chest slowly opened, revealing a golden orb of light.
As soon as Xiao Feng touched the golden orb of light, he realised that it represented Di Shitian's "Seven-Day Desperate Situation" experience.
Although Xiao Feng felt somewhat disappointed at not drawing the most expensive Phoenix Blood, after understanding the abilities of "Seven-Day Desperate Situation," he didn't feel too bad about it.
The "Seven-Day Desperate Situation" was a highly unique martial art that allowed the practitioner's body to transform into a particle state, rendering them immune to all physical attacks. The practitioner could also freely reassemble.
To put it simply, "Seven-Day Desperate Situation" was somewhat similar to the elementalization ability of the Logia-type Devil Fruits in "One Piece."
After being optimised and improved by the system, the "Seven-Day Desperate Situation" was converted into a mid-tier earth-level defensive martial art.
"Use!"
With a thought, the golden skill orb transformed into a golden light and merged into Xiao Feng's forehead.
The memories of Di Shitian practising the "Seven-Day Desperate Situation" exploded in Xiao Feng's mind.
After absorbing these memories, Xiao Feng had mastered the "Seven-Day Desperate Situation" to near perfection, allowing him to freely disintegrate his body into a particle state and reassemble it at will.
However, Xiao Feng quickly discovered two significant drawbacks of the "Seven-Day Desperate Situation."
The first drawback was that it consumed a large amount of energy. With his current cultivation, Xiao Feng could only maintain the particle state for about half an hour before his qi would be completely depleted.
The second drawback was its lack of offensive power. While Xiao Feng was in the particle state, he could avoid physical damage, but he also couldn't attack the enemy. To attack, he had to reassemble his body first.
After understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the "Seven-Day Desperate Situation," Xiao Feng took out the white skill orb that represented "Xiongba's lifetime cultivation."
"Use!"
With a silent thought, the white orb transformed into a white beam of light and entered his body.
Xiao Feng felt a powerful and pure energy explode within him. He quickly circulated his "Nine Transformations of The Swirling Dragon" technique, refining and absorbing the energy, converting it into wind-attributed qi.
After several hours of refining, the massive energy was utterly absorbed, causing his cultivation level to soar to the rank of a Four-Star Dou King.
After adapting to his enhanced cultivation, Xiao Feng turned his attention to the remaining two skill orbs.
One was a green orb representing the "Di Shitian's Step Ascending to Immortality" experience, and the other was a translucent orb representing the "Xiongba's Three Divisions Return to Yuan Qi" experience.
"Whoosh!"
With a thought, the green orb shot into his forehead first.
The "Step Ascending to Immortality" was an unparalleled lightness skill created by Di Shitian. It combined techniques from various schools of lightness martial arts.
When a practitioner used the "Step Ascending to Immortality," their entire body would be surrounded by true qi, appearing like a celestial being descending to the mortal world. Though the speed didn't seem fast, it was actually akin to teleportation, faster than the speed of sound.
The key feature of the "Step Ascending to Immortality" was its ability to be used in conjunction with the "Seven-Day Desperate Situation." When the practitioner was in particle form, their speed would increase several times, making it ideal for either chasing down a target or escaping.
After the system's optimisation, "Step Ascending to Immortality" became a low-tier earth-level wind-attributed movement technique.
