“Impossible… You’re lying to me! You’re lying to me!”
Xia Lengyue suddenly seemed to go mad. Throwing all caution to the wind, she crawled toward Ye Xuan.
She reached out with her blood-covered hands, trying to grab hold of Ye Xuan’s trouser leg, but he kicked her away in disgust.
She rolled across the floor before scrambling back to her feet and charging at Ye Xuan again, shrieking hysterically, “You love me! If you didn’t love me, why would you have spent so much time and effort on me? You must be lying! You’re only trying to get revenge on me!”
Xia Lengyue had completely lost her mind, reduced to nothing but incoherent ravings. Ye Xuan could not even be bothered to spare her another glance.
He suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the True Phoenix Heart, still burning with scarlet flames, in a single gulp!
The instant the True Phoenix Heart entered his body, a terrifying roar erupted from within him, like a great river overturning and pouring down from the heavens!
A vast vitality and searing energy beyond description instantly coursed through every inch of his body. The black-gold robe around him billowed without wind, cracking loudly, while his long hair flew wildly amid the raging currents of air.
A moment later, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes. His deep gaze was now filled with an uncontrollable fervor and excitement.
In an instant, dazzling True Phoenix flames exploded throughout the entire dungeon!
An ancient, primordial, supreme life force swept outward from Ye Xuan like a storm.
“Power… So this is the power of the True Phoenix Heart!”
Ye Xuan trembled with excitement. He turned his head toward Xia Lengyue, who was sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud, and his eyes filled with lofty mockery.
“You possessed the True Phoenix Heart for all these years, yet you never figured out how to use it, did you?”
Ye Xuan strode over to Xia Lengyue and burst into maniacal laughter. “I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll be merciful and tell you what it truly does!”
“The True Phoenix Heart is one of the supreme treasures born from primordial chaos. It possesses no offensive power and no defensive power. It has only one function—and that function is powerful enough to defy the heavens and change one’s fate!”
Ye Xuan’s gaze burned with fanatical fervor as he shouted excitedly, “Anyone who assimilates the True Phoenix Heart will gain a second life!”
“Once the owner of the True Phoenix Heart is killed for any reason—even if they take their own life—as long as the True Phoenix Heart remains intact, they will undergo a phoenix rebirth on the spot! Not only will they be reborn in flames and live a second life, they will also gain an unimaginably long lifespan!”
Xia Lengyue stared blankly at him, her mind utterly incapable of processing what she had heard.
A second life? Rebirth through nirvana?
The supreme treasure she had possessed for several hundred years actually had such a heaven-defying ability?
How laughable. She had always thought it was merely an auxiliary treasure that enhanced her recovery abilities!
“Not only that! It also possesses another terrifying effect—one so powerful that even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens would go mad for it!”
Ye Xuan suddenly crouched down. With one strong hand, he gripped Xia Lengyue’s cheeks and lifted her halfway off the ground.
The excitement in his eyes had already transformed into outright madness. Spittle nearly sprayed across Xia Lengyue’s face as he snarled, “Listen carefully, you fool! Once the owner of the True Phoenix Heart lives a second life, their cultivation will unconditionally and permanently rise by an entire major realm at the moment of their rebirth!”
His words exploded in Xia Lengyue’s mind like a thunderous bomb. Even Ying’er, who had been listening nearby, was so shocked that she covered her little mouth.
An unconditional increase of an entire major realm?
Xia Lengyue’s lips trembled violently. She had even forgotten the pain in her cheeks.
As a supreme cultivator who had once reached the Mahayana Realm, she knew all too well what the words “rise by an entire major realm” meant!
The path of cultivation was, by its very nature, a path of defying the heavens. The further one advanced, the more difficult every breakthrough became.
Countless peerless prodigies became stuck at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm or the Mahayana Realm. They were unable to advance even a single step for the rest of their lives, ultimately turning to dust in despair.
Yet now, Ye Xuan was telling her that by dying just once, one could unconditionally cross a chasm as vast as the heavens themselves?!
“Stunned? Dumbfounded?”
Ye Xuan laughed wildly as he slapped Xia Lengyue’s cheeks repeatedly, each strike producing a crisp crack. “The True Phoenix Heart’s effect of unconditionally and permanently raising its host by an entire major realm can be triggered with absolute certainty in any realm below the Great Principle Golden Immortal Realm!”
He abruptly released her, allowing Xia Lengyue to slide to the ground like a lump of mud.
Then he threw open his arms and threw back his head, laughing wildly. His voice was filled with the arrogance and madness of one who looked down upon the entire world.
“Do you know what this means?”
“It means that if some blind bastard kills me now, then the instant I revive, I’ll become an unparalleled expert of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!”
“And if I eventually cultivate to the Mahayana Realm, all I’ll need to do is find an opportunity to die once… After I revive, I’ll become a True Immortal—someone who stands above the laws of this world!”
Ye Xuan suddenly lowered his head and looked at Xia Lengyue as though she were a laughable ant. A cruel, mocking smile curled across his lips.
“Xia Lengyue, do you understand now?”
“For the sake of obtaining this supreme treasure that can send me straight to the True Immortal Dao and grant me a second life…”
Ye Xuan sneered, his voice filled with disdain. “A mere few cuckold’s horns, a mere lotus-root incarnation—what do they matter? Let alone enduring your adultery. Even if you sold yourself right in front of me, as long as it helped nurture this True Phoenix Heart, I wouldn’t even bat an eye!”
“So, Xia Lengyue, when I said I thanked you just now, I meant it from the bottom of my heart.”
Ye Xuan bent slightly and leaned close to Xia Lengyue’s ear. In the gentlest voice, he uttered the most vicious words:
“Thank you, my despicable, lewd, and foolish ex-wife.”
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
