Capítulo 1839: Chapter 1828: Phoenix Bloodline
In traditional Chinese dicine’s Yin Yang and the Five Elents theory, the five elents of wood, fire, earth, tal, and water.
Correspond to the five organs: liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Xu Xiaoqing’s heart burns like a raging fire, not only related to the Five Elents theory but also to her cultivation thod.
In general cultivation thods, True Qi starts from the Dantian and then follows a specific route through the cultivation technique, circulating through the Extraordinary ridians, and finally returns to the Dantian. This indicates the completion of a Grand Circulation.
However, Xu Xiaoqing’s cultivation of the Phoenix Sky-Burning Art starts from the heart, not requiring passage through the Dantian, and returns to the heart after a Grand Circulation.
This results in the vitality around Xu Xiaoqing’s heart far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Seeing Ning Fan silent, Xu Xiaoqing curiously asked, “What’s wrong, brother-in-law?”
“Nothing.”
Ning Fan shook his head.
The world is vast and full of wonders. A cultivation technique that doesn’t require the Dantian, he has never seen, but that doesn’t an it doesn’t exist.
Ning Fan asked again, “How much do you know about this cultivation technique?”
“The Great Elder once said that the Phoenix Sky-Burning Art can only be cultivated by soone with the Clan Leader’s bloodline, and it has to be passed down through the Clan Leader’s crown, impossible to record in any written form.”
“Is there such a thing?”
Ning Fan mused, “Go bring the Clan Leader’s crown and let see.”
Ning Fan suspected that the Clan Leader’s crown might be able to store information, much like the Jade Pendant of the Xuan Tian Sect.
“Brother-in-law, wait a mont.”
Before long, Xu Xiaoqing returned with the Clan Leader’s crown.
The Clan Leader’s crown is undoubtedly a supre treasure of the Celestial Clan.
But since Xu Xiaoqing liked it, with the Clan Leader’s consent, this heirloom beca her personal collection.
“Huh! This seems to be a female style.”
This ti, Ning Fan noticed that the Clan Leader’s crown resembled the traditional wedding headdress of ancient Chinese won.
Ning Fan couldn’t help but ask, “Were all past Clan Leaders of the Celestial Clan won?”
“Yes.”
“Then…”
Ning Fan quickly stopped himself from speaking further. He actually wanted to ask about Xu Xiaoqing’s background.
This question, Ning Fan had previously asked the Great Elder in private.
But regarding this matter, the Great Elder could not explain clearly either.
Back when the Celestial Clan found Xu Xiaoqing, it was through the direction of the Clan Leader’s crown that they located the bloodline of the Clan Leader outside their lands.
At that ti, Xu Xiaoqing was still young, not yet the age to accept the legacy.
Additionally, due to the threat from the Sea Clan, for safety reasons, the Celestial Clan did not bring her back.
The Great Elder only agreed with Xu Chengyuan that when the ti was ripe, Xu Xiaoqing would be brought back.
Otherwise, how could Xu Chengyuan, with his identity as a wealthy rchant, know about the existence of the Celestial Clan?
In those years, Xu Chengyuan’s business prosperity was due to the Celestial Clan’s covert assistance, shielding him from all sorts of threats.
As for why the bloodline of the Clan Leader was lost outside, the Great Elder did not know.
If not for the revelation from the Clan Leader’s crown, the Celestial Clan wouldn’t even have known that their bloodline was lost outside.
The Celestial Clan is akin to a hidden family, many never leaving the Barrier in their lifeti.
In any case, among the docunts the Great Elder reviewed, there was no record of any clan mber ever leaving.
In the Celestial Clan, the position of Clan Leader is not passed down through inheritance, it is completely random.
Whenever a Clan Leader is born, the Clan Leader’s crown provides guidance.
If it does not, then the position of Clan Leader remains vacant.
“Brother-in-law, do you think there could really be a phoenix in this world?”
“Perhaps there is.”
Ning Fan smiled faintly.
In the past, he might have said no.
But after witnessing the Angel Projection, the existence of a phoenix didn’t seem so improbable.
“Why do you ask?”
Xu Xiaoqing said confusedly, “The Great Elder said I have a phoenix bloodline. Once I cultivate the Phoenix Sky-Burning Art to its peak, I can activate the bloodline to beco a phoenix.”
Ning Fan blurted out, “Alien!”
What Xu Xiaoqing described was very similar to Western aliens, indistinguishable from ordinary people, yet the bloodline is entirely different.
As for the differences in her bloodline, Ning Fan still couldn’t figure it out. Even the Blood Clan couldn’t articulate the reasons, aside from the fact that it’s definitely not a matter of blood type.
Xu Xiaoqing asked puzzled, “What alien?”
“It’s nothing.”
Ning Fan felt a bit embarrassed for his overreaction.
With so many aliens in the West, having one appear in the East is also quite normal.
Xu Xiaoqing pursued the topic, “Brother-in-law, do you think this is true?”
“It should be.”
Ning Fan found it hard to answer this question, and countered, “What did the Great Elder say?”
Xu Xiaoqing sighed, “The Great Elder asserted that it’s true, but when I looked through the clan’s records, all I found were legends, with no actual cases.”
“How many layers does the Phoenix Sky-Burning Decree have?”
“Nine layers.”
Seemingly knowing what Ning Fan wanted to ask, Xu Xiaoqing hurriedly said, “I’m only at the second layer now.”
Ning Fan smiled, “Then you have to work hard.”
“Brother-in-law, if… I an if, I really am like the Great Elder said, not human, would you…”
Seeing Xu Xiaoqing’s worried, dejected expression, Ning Fan finally understood.
“No wonder, a while ago, I noticed sothing was off about you. Did the Great Elder tell you this then?”
Xu Xiaoqing nodded silently, troubled by these secrets she ca to know.
Having spent so ti in the Celestial Clan, Xu Xiaoqing was well aware of the Great Elder’s character, definitely not soone who would speak casually.
Although the clan’s records had no examples of anyone activating the phoenix bloodline.
But thinking of the Great Elder’s unwavering belief, Xu Xiaoqing felt a blockage in her heart. She feared she might truly not be human, and that Ning Fan would reject her.
“Silly girl, don’t let your mind wander.”
Ning Fan gently patted Xu Xiaoqing’s head, comforting her, “It doesn’t matter if you’re a phoenix, you’d still always be brother-in-law’s closest little sister-in-law, even if you were just a little sparrow.”
“I’m not a sparrow.”
Xu Xiaoqing playfully complained, her face relieved in a newfound smile.
“Brother-in-law, you have to promise . If I really…”
Ning Fan waved his hand, “Enough. Don’t you trust .”
In foreign Arica, he t a beautiful little bat. Whether Xu Xiaoqing is an alien doesn’t bother him at all.
“Maybe I could even introduce them. Having similar experiences, they wouldn’t envy each other.”
Ning Fan was entirely oblivious to the fact that Xu Xiaoqing’s concern wasn’t about jealousy.
Instead, it was the shocking news brought by the Great Elder that caused her emotional turmoil.
Living for over a decade, suddenly to be told that you’re not human.
Almost anyone would take so ti to cope with such a shock, especially a newly-adult Xu Xiaoqing.
Xu Xiaoqing wanted to find an opportunity to talk about it, yet feared it would lead to distance with Ning Fan.
The Great Elder repeatedly emphasized, Xu Xiaoqing is possibly the most capable clan mber to cultivate the Phoenix Sky-Burning Decree to the ninth layer.
On that day, it would be the Celestial Clan’s revival.
To Xu Xiaoqing, however, it was an imnsely heavy nightmare.
