Even though Feng Jiuge’s cultivation had regressed for two years, he had managed to temper his soul and spirit well within this period.

From his lofty position as the genius of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, he had fallen to the bottom and experienced the warmth and coldness of the world. These experiences were invaluable in building up who he was, and it had made his soul more resilient than ever.

Due to this, the God King Breakthrough Pill was particularly effective on him, allowing him to successfully make a breakthrough.

Had it been anyone else, it would have been difficult for them to make a breakthrough so successfully.

Other than that, Feng Jiuge’s body had been thoroughly cleansed by Zhang Xuan’s zhenqi while he was getting rid of the gray congregation of energy. That had played a huge part in building up Feng Jiuge’s foundation too.

After his breakthrough to God King, Feng Jiuge spent some time reinforcing his cultivation. When he finally opened his eyes once more, he quickly kneeled to the floor and bowed. “Teacher, thank you for your guidance!”

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony,” Zhang Xuan replied. “How are you feeling right now?”

Feng Jiuge rose to his feet and perceived his newfound powers for a moment. “My zhenqi cultivation has reached the God King realm, but my soul cultivation is still lacking at the moment. I’ll have to nourish it quite a bit in order to restore the balance within my body.”

Even though he had been through quite a bit within this short period of time, he was still too young. As such, his soul was slightly lacking.

His fighting prowess had risen considerably due to his breakthrough, but due to the disharmonious state his body was in, he would still be weaker compared to a real God King.

“The soul is the hardest to cultivate of all,” Feng Hanqiu remarked.

If one was lacking in terms of zhenqi, there were plenty of cultivation resources that could provide one with more spiritual energy. However, when it came to raising one’s soul cultivation, there were only so few things that one could do.

For example, even though Feng Hanqiu had made a breakthrough to God King as well, he was still a long way off from fully grasping his powers as a God King due to the weakness of his soul.

“Indeed,” Zhang Xuan said, “this is quite a problem to deal with…”

Despite the huge commotion he had caused through the Breakthrough Pill and the Beauty Pill, he had only been able to raise his soul cultivation to high-tier Celestial God realm pinnacle thus far. From this, it could be seen that raising one’s soul cultivation was rather difficult.

But halfway through Zhang Xuan’s words, he suddenly felt a massive surge of Anima of Yearning gushing into his soul.

This caused his high-tier Celestial God realm soul cultivation to begin rising at a swift pace.

Zhang Xuan was a little taken aback.

This time around, the Anima of Yearning he received was several hundred, or perhaps, a thousand times more than what he had received previously!

“Is a Conferred God King thinking about me? And a dozen of them at that?”

He could hardly believe what was happening.

Incredibly pure Anima of Yearning was surging into his soul continuously, as if ten additional Conferred God Kings had started thinking about him.

Hong long!

Before he could even say anything, his soul cultivation surged past his bottleneck, causing a staggeringly powerful aura to burst forth from his soul.

Just like that, his soul cultivation had reached the God King realm!

“…” Feng Hanqiu was frenzied once more.

Could cultivation become more like child’s play than this?

Even though it was baffling to see Feng Jiuge to achieve a breakthrough to the God King realm all of a sudden in his zhenqi cultivation, it was still within the realm of reason. After all, he had achieved a breakthrough in the midst of a battle as well.

But for someone to suddenly make a breakthrough in his soul cultivation with such incredible vigor…

The heck!

If you had the ability to do this in the first place, why did you agree with me in saying that it’s hard to raise one’s soul cultivation?

It is almost as if you are trying to break my sanity!

Stop it!

Feeling a little faint-headed from all the shocks that kept coming nonstop, Feng Hanqiu swayed weakly on his feet.

Unfortunately, the worst had yet to pass for him.

As he lifted his gaze, he realized that something that was even more ridiculous was happening right before his eyes.

Even after the other party’s cultivation had made a breakthrough to the God King realm, it was showing no signs of stopping.

God King realm primary stage!

God King realm intermediate stage!

At a rate visible to the eye, the other party’s soul cultivation rose all the way to God King realm pinnacle.

It was only at this point that his swiftly rising soul cultivation finally slowed down.

“…”

Seeing this, Feng Hanqiu felt his eyes becoming a little moist. He really felt like weeping.

He had still felt so good about himself a moment ago when he successfully made a breakthrough in the midst of his battle. He had thought that his time had finally come, and he would be able to forge a legend about himself in the world.

It was with such confidence that he marched to the Inferno Phoenix Clan to challenge their number one.

But all that had happened was him suffering mental traumas one after another.

It was harder to raise one’s soul cultivation than one’s zhenqi cultivation!

Yet, the other party had made consecutive breakthroughs, climbing all the way up to God King realm pinnacle in a single shot!

Those that had gone there along with Feng Hanqiu were also traumatized beyond words.

“What a pity. I don’t have a cultivation technique that would help me make a breakthrough to God King realm for my zhenqi cultivation,” Zhang Xuan murmured.

While he had no idea why so many Conferred God Kings had suddenly started thinking about him, he was more than happy to accept their Anima of Yearning.

He had been getting worried because his soul cultivation did not seem to have grown much over the past five days, but with this breakthrough, he would not have to worry about it for a long time. It would set a strong foundation for his zhenqi cultivation to make a breakthrough to the God King realm in the near future.

“Let me give it a try…”

Zhang Xuan channeled his condensed soul energy together, and he could immediately feel the space around him rippling in response to his might.

“This is the strength that God Kings wield?” Zhang Xuan was astounded.

When he fought with God Kings, he had thought that their strength was just so-so. However, after making the breakthrough himself, he could really see the huge gap between a Celestial God and a God King.

Just the pressure he emanated from his soul would be enough to halt the zhenqi circulation of any Celestial God.

With his current strength, even without resorting to his golden page or Little Chick, he would be able to stand his ground even against a Conferred God King like Baiye Qinghong.

While he could not say that he was confident of victory, at the very least, he would be able to put up a fight.

“Once I make a breakthrough in my zhenqi cultivation, I should be able to subdue someone of Baiye Qinghong’s prowess…”

While there was supposedly a huge gap between God Kings and Conferred God Kings, through the Pathos of Heaven—a cultivation technique that surpassed the heavens—and the superior resilience of his soul, he was confident that he would be able to fight them as equals and even kill them once he became a full-fledged God King!

That would also mean that he was another step closer to Luo Ruoxin.

After exploring his newfound strength, Zhang Xuan breathed out deeply before opening his eyes once more. Rising to his feet, he was just about to check if there were any unexpected side effects from Feng Jiuge’s breakthrough when he suddenly noticed that a middle-aged man had entered the room and was staring at him with a look of agitation.

“Who are you?” Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.

“I am the clan head of the Inferno Phoenix Clan,” the middle-aged man replied.

“The clan head?” Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

Thinking back, he had met the First Elder and Second Elder thus far, but he had not met the clan head before.

“Junior Feng Xuan pays respect to the clan head!” Zhang Xuan clasped his fist and bowed.

“Ah, there’s no need for such formalities. Even though you have made a breakthrough in your soul cultivation instead of your zhenqi cultivation, you are still a God King realm cultivator. That makes us peers,” the clan head said as he quickly pulled Zhang Xuan upright.

For a clan like the Inferno Phoenix Clan where there were many experts who lived long lives, it would incredibly bothersome and ineffective to really classify one’s seniority through relations.

For this reason, as long as two members of the clan were not direct kin and were of the same cultivation realm, they could be considered peers.

Aware of this rule, Zhang Xuan nodded and dropped the formalities.

He was about to ask the reason behind the other party’s sudden visit, but the middle-aged man had already started murmuring excitedly to himself. “He actually managed to raise his soul cultivation to God King realm pinnacle… With his talent, I think that there’s a good chance that he might be able to clear the Trial of Conferment and reach for greater heights…”

Then, the clan head suddenly raised his head and asked with anticipation in his eyes, “Before I move on, may I ask if you are interested in succeeding me as the next head of the Inferno Phoenix Clan?”
