Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Molten lava surged, the firelight reflecting the withered face of the Old Palace Master.

The hairpin was supposed to sink into the sea of flames, but after a few breaths... it slowly floated up.

The molten lava of this Grotto Heaven is much hotter than that of Jinli Mountain.

An ordinary treasure immersed in it would soon be destroyed.

Yet, this hairpin remained unscathed.

"This thing isn't simple..."

The Old Palace Master stared at the hairpin for a long time and said softly, "I sense an ancient aura in this hairpin; it is not a product of this era."

"Oh?"

Jiang Huang raised an eyebrow.

Swish!

The Old Palace Master raised his palm, and the hairpin floated up from the sea of flames, slowly coming to Jiang Huang.

"Since it's a treasure, you should take it."

The Old Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace said calmly, "I know about you and Xie Xuanyi..."

After the chaos in Qing State, nine-tenths of the spy network buried by the Demon Country within the Da Chu Dynasty was pulled out by the Book Tower, but some remnants remained.

During this time, Xie Zhen has been the most prominent genius among the Human Race.

The spies of the Demon Country had long organized his information and associated figures into files and sent them to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

"Don't mention him."

Jiang Huang took the hairpin but did not appreciate the gesture.

At the mention of this name, a trace of disgust appeared in her eyes.

Seeing this reaction, the Heavenly Phoenix Palace Master smiled.

The old man comfortingly said, "You truly should hate him... If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been imprisoned in Da Chu for so many years. What do you plan to do with this second strand of soul?"

The Heavenly Phoenix Palace had gathered comprehensive information on the relationship between Jiang Huang and Xie Xuanyi.

He knew that Jiang Huang's other strand of soul had a good relationship with Xie Xuanyi and had even worshiped under the Vermilion Bird at the Da Sui Sword Palace's back mountain for a while.

This second soul was indeed troublesome.

"...What do you mean?"

Jiang Huang squinted her eyes, staring at the old man not far away.

"I once personally ventured through the River of Destiny, observing the future."

"The Heavenly Phoenix Palace has always been waiting for the legendary 'Phoenix Blood Venerable Master.'

The old man in the center of the sea of flames spoke indifferently, "This 'Phoenix Blood Venerable Master' will inherit my mantle, wield the greatest power of the Demon Country, and one day become the 'Master' of this world."

"However..."

His tone shifted.

The Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace said calmly, "Such a Venerable Master can only be one."

One body, two souls.

Does this count as one person, or two?

As the words fell, the entire Grotto Heaven plunged into silence.

The throne drifted like a small boat.

Jiang Huang was silent for a long time, then spoke, "...I understand."

The old man's expression remained calm, "Do you truly understand?"

"Give me some time... I will crush this second strand of soul."

Jiang Huang took a deep breath, suddenly frowned, and said, "By the way, I recently sensed that a secret treasure seems to be opening in the Divine Sea."

"Correct."

The old man revealed a pleased expression, "This is Yuan Huang's gift to you using the power of her bloodline... Only those with pure Phoenix descent can open this secret treasure. During this period, I will arrange for them to take you to Heavenly Phoenix Palace's Cultivation Cave Heaven, where you can rest and integrate the fragmented soul. Once the Divine Treasure is fully absorbed, I'll grant you another Great Creation."

...

...

"What did you say?"

Da Sui Sword Palace, Golden Turtle Peak.

In the forbidden area of the back mountain, amidst a dense forest of stone pillars, the red-robed demon sitting cross-legged on a pillar suddenly stood up and leaped off the top.

Veins throbbed on Ci Jing's forehead.

He grabbed Xie Xuanyi's sleeve forcefully, eyes wide with fury, "You, Xie, are you crazy... daring to take Jiang Huang to such a dangerous place!"

The situation at Northern Border Jinli Mountain was not small.

It won't be long before it spreads across the Four Realms.

Xie Xuanyi wasn't planning to conceal it; after leaving the Northern Territory, he returned to Da Sui Sword Palace... The first thing he did was find Ci Jing and truthfully confess Jiang Huang's capture.

The little one came into this world with no relatives.

He was the first brother the child saw at birth.

Ci Jing was genuinely the elder brother with real blood ties.

Ci Jing's fury was anticipated by Xie Xuanyi.

"Do you know, those fellows from the Heavenly Phoenix Palace are nothing good!"

"They are extremely well-informed about Jiang Huang—"

"They know the relationships between Jiang Huang and you, Jiang Huang and me!"

Ci Jing asked sternly, word by word.

Xie Xuanyi just listened silently.

He didn't try to break free but lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I did it on purpose."

Crack!

The sound of an explosion in the void!

In a state of rage, Ci Jing instinctively exerted force, nearly tearing the sleeve in his hand to shreds...

Too unreliable, too unreliable!

After the battle.

He stayed at Da Sui Sword Palace to guard the mountain gate, originally hoping Xie Xuanyi would bring the little one back to the Sword Palace, but unexpectedly, the parting at the North Sea turned into a long departure, possibly even a goodbye forever!

"The elder should know that Jiang Huang still has a strand of soul hidden within."

After a brief silence, Xie Xuanyi spoke again.

"...Naturally know."

Ci Jing suppressed his anger and spoke irritably.

He is Jiang Huang's eldest brother! The elder brother guiding Jiang Huang's cultivation!

How could he not know the child's physical condition? He knows it better than anyone else!

"That strand of Divine Soul is Jiang Huang's main soul."

Xie Xuanyi said, "That strand of Divine Soul... comes from the Demon Country and is my blood enemy."

Ci Jing was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly understood what Xie Xuanyi wanted to say.

Jiang Huang's main soul is actually a significant hidden risk. When he initially guided the cultivation, he felt the strand of soul thought lurking in the little one's Divine Sea... This soul thought should not be underestimated; having grown through countless battles and killings in the Demon Country, no matter how well hidden, it always exudes a belligerent and violent aura!
