Chapter 15: The Heavenly Dao Serves Her

Ji Juexiu nodded at Chi Zheng and then glanced at Chi Yan with a slight frown.

In the next moment, Chi Yan felt the oppressive force on him vanish. He quickly scrambled to his feet and retreated behind the clan leader and the elders, not daring to approach again.

Chi Zheng observed all of this with a smile and continued, “Divine Lord, that was our young master, Chi Yan. He is still young and impulsive, and he offended you.”

Ji Juexiu replied indifferently, “It’s fine.”

Chi Zheng then looked at the ancient book in Ji Juexiu’s hand and said, “This is the second volume of the ancient text… I recall that when you last visited the Sparrow Clan, it was for the first volume.”

“Indeed,” Ji Juexiu said, handing over the book. “Now it is returned to its original owner.”

Chi Zheng was startled and took a large step back.

His sudden movement confused the other members of the Sparrow Clan.

Ji Juexiu’s eyes flickered as he asked, “Clan Leader, are you… afraid to touch this book?”

Chi Zheng: “…”

The members of the Sparrow Clan were equally astonished and turned their gazes toward the book, wondering what was happening.

But as soon as their eyes fell upon it, cries of pain erupted.

“My eyes!”

“What kind of book is this? I’m going blind!”

“The formation! Where’s the formation? Seal it quickly!”

“…”

Ji Juexiu raised an eyebrow. The second volume of the ancient text hadn’t even been opened, yet the cover alone possessed such immense power?

The first volume hadn’t been like this.

This second volume…

His gaze shifted to Chi Xian.

The latter shrugged, saying nothing.

While the first volume of the ancient text could be read and handled by anyone in the Sparrow Clan, only Chi Xian, apart from himself, could touch the second volume?

After a moment of contemplation, Ji Juexiu flicked his finger, and the book flew back to its original position.

Chi Zheng let out a sigh of relief and clasped his hands toward Ji Juexiu. “Thank you, Divine Lord. May I ask what is written in this second volume?”

Ji Juexiu casually replied, “The Divine Sun Soul.”

Chi Zheng nodded. “In that case, after completing the cultivation of your Divine Yang Soul, it is time to cultivate the soul. The mysteries of combining the soul and spirit are all contained within the ancient texts collected by our clan. It seems that the Divine Lord truly has a connection with the Sparrow Clan.”

Ji Juexiu said, “Indeed, there is a connection.”

Chi Zheng smiled. “As you ascend to the position of Divine Lord, may I ask who has been chosen for the Six Spirit Seats? Since there is a connection, I, as the clan leader, would like to recommend someone. This is our young master, Chi Yan…”

Chi Yan was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, and quickly stepped forward.

Chi Xian, on the other hand, let out a soft, almost imperceptible scoff.

Ji Juexiu glanced at Chi Yan and then at the smiling Chi Zheng. “There’s no need for the clan leader to trouble himself. The Six Spirit Seats are already filled.”

Chi Zheng frowned and advised, “Divine Lord, the Spirit Seats are no ordinary positions. Not just anyone can fill them. By your side, there should at least be a pure-blooded phoenix!”

Ji Juexiu chuckled and pointed to the person beside him. “I already have one. Seat One, Chi Xian.”

At these words, Chi Zheng was speechless.

Chi Yan, on the other hand, felt as if a fishbone were stuck in his throat, so aggrieved that he wished he could smash his head against a wall!

The Spirit Seats were lofty positions, not merely serving as the Divine Lord’s guardians.

Cultivating by the Divine Lord’s side brought benefits that extended far beyond material resources. There was also the abundant spiritual energy and the profound insights into the Heavenly Dao that others could only dream of.

The Divine Lord was a god, and the mysteries of divinity were not something others could easily comprehend.

As the young master of the Sparrow Clan and the most powerful phoenix of his generation, he had been outright rejected.

Meanwhile, that misfit Chi Xian, a mere rooster, was given a Spirit Seat?

And even Seat One!

Ji Juexiu did not stay long with the Sparrow Clan. After leaving the Phoenix Tree Tower, he bid farewell to everyone.

When he arrived, he entered through the back door, but upon departure, the entire Sparrow Clan respectfully escorted him to the main gate.

After watching the two leave.

Chi Yan was the first to be unable to bear the disparity, roaring in anger and resentment, “Clan Leader! Why Chi Xian?”

Chi Zheng shook his head and said, “You immediately started a fight with him, so it’s normal that he didn’t choose you.”

In fact, he had another half of the sentence that he didn’t say out loud: it would have been normal for him to kill you on the spot.

Chi Yan stiffened his neck and said, “How was I supposed to know he was a god? A god who doesn’t use the main gate properly but sneaks in, indeed, what kind of spirit seat follows what kind of god, always up to no good.”

An elder explained, “Young Master, you may not know, but this deity has been missing for over a hundred years, and no one could find him. Once the news of his reappearance spreads, it will surely cause turmoil!”

Chi Yan was puzzled, “Why? Who is he exactly?”

Chi Zheng sighed, “He is the Limitless Heaven War God, Ji Juexiu.”

Chi Yan was shocked, “He is Ji Juexiu?!”

A voice shouted from behind, “Isn’t the War God surnamed Gong? I’ve never heard of Ji Juexiu, where did he come from? Damn, have I missed so much in my five thousand years of seclusion? How did the last War God fall?”

Chi Zheng slowly spoke, “He died under the Ji Juexiu Heavy Sword.”

Silence—

A deathly silence spread.

No one spoke anymore, and the person who asked also shut his mouth.

As for Chi Yan, his face turned pale!

He actually dared to start a fight with someone in the Phoenix Tree Tower?

That was the ruthless man who killed the previous War God and took his place!

—————–

A thousand miles away.

Two figures walked one after the other, neither speaking.

Chi Xian walked behind with his head down, every time he returned to the Sparrow Clan he was filled with anger.

Ji Juexiu stopped, turned back, and asked, “Did you see the words in the second volume?”

Chi Xian nodded and then shook his head, “I only saw three words, couldn’t see the whole text, my eyes hurt, tears would flow, and if I looked too long, I might even bleed from my eyes.”

Ji Juexiu pondered for a moment, “Other Sparrow Clan members can’t see a single word, not even the Phoenix.”

Chi Xian curled his lips, “They are useless!”

Ji Juexiu continued walking, asking as he went, “What did you see?”

Chi Xian: “Tian Wu Ling.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Boom!

A thunderclap suddenly exploded, accompanied by an extremely thick bolt of lightning that appeared out of thin air, hanging right above his head.

Chi Xian was terrified, “I… what is this? Heavenly thunder? I didn’t do anything, why is heavenly thunder hanging over my head!”

Ji Juexiu was somewhat surprised, then understood, “It seems those three words cannot be spoken, at least not now.”

Chi Xian: “Damn? I… sorry, sorry! Great Lord of Heaven, Lord of Heaven, I was wrong, I was wrong.”

He quickly knelt down to apologize, extremely sincere.

And the heavenly thunder seemed to have a spirit, indeed disappearing bit by bit amidst his kowtows and apologies.

Only when the lightning completely dissipated did Chi Xian stand up, patting his chest in fear, “Oh my, Great Lord of Clear Soup, that scared me to death!”

What exactly is Tian Wu Ling?

It can’t even be spoken!

Filled with curiosity, he glanced at Ji Juexiu several times but dared not ask a single word, fearing the heavenly thunder might appear again.

Ji Juexiu recalled the contents of the second volume of the rare book.

Heavenly Yin Soul, Tian Wu Ling.

The reincarnation of an ancient great shaman.

An existence even more powerful than the Divine Martial Body of the Divine Yang Soul.

So powerful that the Heavenly Dao bends to her will!

However…

The two poles of Yin and Yang, when one reaches its peak, it must decline. Nothing in the world can be taken to the extreme.

Thinking of this, Ji Juexiu furrowed his brow and turned to walk in another direction.

Chi Xian shouted from behind, “Hey! Where are you going again? That thing you’re so determined to investigate nearly got me struck by heavenly lightning! Do whatever you want, but don’t drag me into it…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Juexiu’s figure had already vanished from sight.

Chi Xian shook his head, “Following a capricious master, my life is truly bitter!”
