Qin Hao accompanied Su Qingyue and Zhao Siya to train in this Savage Mystic Realm. With Qin Hao joining them, they no longer had to stay on the outermost fringes of the mystic realm. They could even boldly challenge high-level demonic beasts, knowing that Qin Hao was there to back them up.
Qin Hao was not idle either. He suppressed his cultivation base to the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm and refrained from using his Dual Pupils, Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, and Innate Dao Physique. He fought the demonic beasts entirely with his own basic physical strength to accumulate combat experience.
Happy times are always short-lived. In a flash, four days passed. Over these few days of interaction, Su Qingyue grew a bit more attached to Qin Hao. Under his guidance, her swordsmanship had improved significantly.
Zhao Siya also benefited greatly. Her attitude towards Qin Hao gradually transformed from initial amazement and infatuation into a kind of worship that bordered on looking up to a deity. She carefully hid that secret throbbing in the depths of her heart.
She knew that she and Qin Hao were not from the same world.
[Ding, you have a new rental order. Please check it.]
The system's voice made Qin Hao quickly gather his thoughts. He glanced at Su Qingyue not far away. She had just finished off a peak Golden Core Realm demonic beast. With fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she flashed him a shallow smile upon seeing him looking her way.
"Qingyue," Qin Hao called out softly, his voice steady.
Su Qingyue keenly sensed the change in Qin Hao's aura and gaze. The smile on her face froze slightly. She quickly walked to his side and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Qin Hao rubbed Su Qingyue's head affectionately. "I have to leave. Take good care of yourself. Remember, do not go deep into the Savage Mystic Realm. With your current strength, you can only train in the outermost areas."
Qin Hao's words caused a deep sense of loss to well up in Su Qingyue's heart. Was he leaving again? Was he going to be a rental Dao companion for another woman?
The thought of Qin Hao running to another woman's side to be her Dao companion made an uncontrollable wave of jealousy churn in Su Qingyue's heart.
Taking a deep breath to calm her emotions, Su Qingyue nodded. "I will take care of myself. You too, take good care of yourself."
She secretly vowed in her heart that she had to grow stronger faster, to the point where she was even stronger than Qin Hao. If he ever dared to go out and be someone else's Dao companion again, she would tie him up and make him stay by her side forever.
As soon as this thought popped up, Su Qingyue could not help but worry. If she actually did that, what if Qin Hao hated her? Although she desperately wanted to monopolize him, she was even more afraid of him hating her.
Qin Hao reached out and gently scraped Su Qingyue's nose. "What are you thinking about? Your expression is changing so fast. Cultivate well. Next time we meet, I will be checking your progress."
After saying that, Qin Hao activated his jade pendant and departed.
Staring blankly at the direction Qin Hao left in, Su Qingyue fell into a daze. Finally, she came to a conclusion: at this rate, monopolizing him was impossible, but she would still have to fight for the position of the main wife!
After leaving the Savage Mystic Realm, Qin Hao opened the system's message panel to check his new patron's information.
[Client Name: Jiang Xinyao]
[Identity: Ancient Desolate Family, Imperial Daughter of the Jiang Family]
[Order Request: Smelly man, come here and let me beat you up!]
[Client Rating: Massive Potential (Heavenly Phoenix Divine Physique) Current Destiny: 4 Stones and 5 Dou]
Qin Hao froze in his tracks. Wait, wait a minute.
"Jiang Xinyao? The Imperial Daughter of the Ancient Desolate Jiang Family? Isn't, isn't she the fiancee who wants to break off our engagement! What is going on here? Dog system, did you do this on purpose or by accident?"
[Replying to the dog host, I did it deliberately by accident.]
Qin Hao completely lost his composure. "What do you mean 'deliberately by accident'? This woman has violent tendencies! I could understand Qingyue and Lingxi's requests, but what kind of heaven-defying request is letting her beat me up?"
"I don't have a masochistic fetish. Dog system, can I just reject this order?"
[You can choose not to accept it, dog host. However, because your destiny is not high enough, you have been stuck in the Nascent Soul Realm for a long time. If you miss this order, it will be a long wait for the next one.]
Qin Hao smacked his lips. This system really never took a loss. If he called it a dog system, it would definitely call him a dog host in return.
Sighing helplessly, Qin Hao eventually accepted the order. It was true that he had been stuck in the Nascent Soul Realm for too long. If he had a bit more destiny, he could immediately break through to the Soul Formation Realm!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully accepting the order. You have obtained Jiang Xinyao's Heavenly Phoenix Divine Physique.]
Qin Hao only felt an ancient phoenix cry explode deep within his soul. His entire being seemed to connect with the source of the phoenix in the universe, and a Nirvana Divine Fire ignited in his dantian.
This divine fire burned along his meridians, sparing not a single inch of his skin. The intense pain made Qin Hao's soul tremble.
However, mixed within this scorching pain was a domineering purifying power. Qin Hao could feel that the few impurities remaining in his body were incinerated by the divine fire, and his bones and muscles were reforged by the Heavenly Phoenix's power, becoming indestructible.
Finally, the divine fire retracted and settled within Qin Hao's body.
Qin Hao slowly raised his head. After fusing with the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Physique, a feeling of absolute arrogance welled up in his heart: "I am the Heavenly Phoenix, revered by all domains."
It was as if he was born to stand proudly above the nine heavens and command the Nirvana Divine Fire.
"Interesting, even my mindset has changed? Then am I still me? Extinguish!"
Qin Hao activated his Dual Pupils, Innate Dao Physique, and Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart to collectively suppress the will of the Heavenly Phoenix within him. He only needed the power of the Heavenly Phoenix, not its will.
If he fused with another will, would he still be himself?
The Heavenly Phoenix's will inside him desperately resisted, and Qin Hao no longer held back:
"Immemorial Dragon Emperor Avatar, open!"
Dragon might descended like a prison, suppressing the eight desolate regions!
A phantom of the Dragon Emperor charged straight into Qin Hao's body, ruthlessly suppressing the Heavenly Phoenix's will that had just awakened and tried to stand above the nine heavens.
Immediately after, the power of the Dual Pupils struck first, piercing the source and suppressing the soul, stripping the Heavenly Phoenix's will away from Qin Hao's own will.
The Innate Dao Physique responded in kind, encompassing all phenomena and merging all laws, beginning to grind away and absorb the impurities within the Heavenly Phoenix's will that did not belong to Qin Hao's true self.
The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart acted as the final touch. Not only did it resist the impact of the collapsing Heavenly Phoenix's will, but it also clarified his true heart, assisting the Dual Pupils and the Innate Dao Physique in transforming the Heavenly Phoenix's will into the source power of the Heavenly Phoenix, perfectly integrating and assimilating it into Qin Hao's own will.
Under Qin Hao's command, the power of the three top-tier physiques coordinated with the Immemorial Dragon Emperor Avatar to attack from both the inside and outside. With a clear division of labor, they suppressed and purified the Heavenly Phoenix's will within his body in no time.
"This is more like it. Just give me the power. As for the will, get out of the way."
After doing all this, Qin Hao thought to himself:
"Dog system, teleport me to Jiang Xinyao."
[Okay, dog host.]

A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
