Having lost his Daoscripts and facing the danger of a reincarnated Supreme Chaos Sovereign, Heifeng Jiansui needed to quickly rise in strength. As such, the only option was to create techniques that would allow him to close the gap.

And so, he needed to completely comprehend the Dark Phoenix Allbeast Ruler Art. Without hesitating, he asked Xingmei to help him.

In the battle arena within the mobile estate, the two Heifeng siblings were battling. Xingmei summoned myriad beasts to attack Jiansui, who used his sword to bisect them one by one.

The Dark Phoenix Allbeast Ruler art was the supreme technique with the most diverse skills: Beast taming, bloodline refining, body tempering, soul cultivation, qi attacks, battle spirit techniques, bloodline arts…

This technique was something Xingmei had reached an inconceivable level of mastery in, even comprehending its essence and fusing the myriad paths into one! When her brother asked her to guide him in the technique, she was elated and accepted immediately.

Unfortunately, she was just too unskilled in teaching. The only way she could transmit her comprehension to Heifeng Jiansui was by sparring against him, displaying her skills. Finally…

“I think this is enough. I can sense the essence of this technique, of fusing the myriad paths into one. I’ll have to thank you for your help, Xingmei.” Heifeng Jiansui nodded as he said this.

“Well, good for you then. Are you planning on using the essence of this technique to create a new one?” Xingmei couldn’t help but think this. ‘If he could actually create a cultivation art with the Black Phoenix Allbeast Rule as the foundation, it will be something that will be extremely suited to me!’

“That’s right. A cultivation art that uses the bloodline prowess of the Black Phoenix as the foundation, a technique that cultivates the myriad powers of the Black Phoenix… Black Phoenix Allbeast Rule is the best foundation for these techniques.” Within the crypt concealing the heritage of the Black Phoenix clan, the myriad techniques were all restricted to the Black Phoenix bloodline.

While the Black Phoenix Allbeast Rule fused myriad techniques into one, the techniques were all quite mediocre. Heifeng Jiansui’s path was to use the essences of various supreme techniques to retrofit it into a version incomparable to earlier!

“If you do create that technique, can I cultivate in it too?” Xingmei had a eager expression on her face as she asked this.

“Creating this technique won’t be easy. But sure, you can cultivate in it when I am done…” Heifeng Jiansui said this to Xingmei’s joy.

“Well, I’ll go for now. I need to seclude myself to create that art, so tell the girls that I won’t be returning for quite some time.” Saying this, Heifeng Jiansui left. It was now time to pioneer a new path!

Time acceleration was a scary thing. Cultivating required time and resources, and even peerless geniuses and reincarnated monsters could only reduce the two to the minimum, and not eliminate these factors.

Without time acceleration, Heifeng Jiansui would require at least two months of calculations and technique refinement. But time acceleration of 100x reduced the time to 14.4 hours.

Of course, the scariest was Heifeng Jiansui after all. Comprehending the essences of the various Black Phoenix bloodline arts, gathering similar arts capable of fusion from the archives of the Ten Thousand Sword Paradise and the Five Sacred Beast Sect and fusing them together to create a whole that surpassed the fused parts, not even the Sect Masters of the two sects would imagine that this could be done in two hours!

“So, it’s done then. Every technique worth noting within all the archives I have gazed into have their essence fused together into one. Two great techniques like Yin and Yang, fusing potential and technique, innate and external… This is my only hope to recover my strength without the power of Daoscripts.” Heifeng Jiansui had a dignified expression on his face after his techniques were completed.

With the supreme technique of Black Phoenix Allbeast Rule as the foundation and adding the Heavenbeast Godsoul Realm’s principle of forming a dimensional space within the soul, the foundation of the external technique has been erected. After completely retrofitting and changing the diverse skills of the Black Phoenix Allbeast Rule with the supreme techniques within the heritage of the clan, the myriad techniques are also raised to the pinnacle. Beast taming, herb raising, bloodline refining, body tempering, soul cultivation, qi attacks, battle spirit techniques, bloodline arts… everything is at the pinnacle. Not only that, the essence of his soul cultivation technique, Boundless Scriptures Leading to the Dao was fused into it, binding the humongous library of manuals within Heifeng Jiansui to the dimension space within his soul!

“The external technique is complete. I’ll call it Black Phoenix Allbeast Empire. While the technique might not have changed when seen from outside, its essence is purified and reconstructed!” The Black Phoenix Allbeast Rule was completely, utterly overhauled. While the core was the same, it certainly didn’t appear that way.

Now, as for the innate technique…” Heifeng Jiansui couldn’t help his smirk. The Black Phoenix Allbeast Rule was a technique that would be difficult to cultivate for a human, but since it was basically a bunch of techniques, it was still possible. But the innate technique was created for Black Phoenixes, true to its name was impossible to be used by humans!

The innate technique wasn’t as diverse as the Black Phoenix Allbeast Empire, though it was quite diverse as well. It focused on body maneuvering and force transmission, focusing on completely turning potential into strength!

As for mortals, the idea that they cannot use the complete strength their body possesses is well-known. A full powered fist strike by a mortal can have the power of 50 kg and knowledge of martial arts that gather muscle strength into the fist can multiply strength to 150 kg. But under extreme circumstances, the power can multiply to 1500 kg! Of course, the consequences will end up with the crippling backlash shattering bones, but it is still common knowledge.

As cultivators, as the cultivation increases, the strength, hidden potential and power to withstand backlash rises as well. For human cultivators of the peak Death Reversion boundary, they can use the full potential of human body without sustaining injury. But as for the innately powerful Black Phoenixes, they only needed to cultivate to the peak of Body Tempering boundary to use their full potential without injury!

Of course, Heifeng Jiansui was an abnormal person who underwent rebirth of his physique, opened the First Dao of Ice-Fire and reached the pinnacle of training the Nine Layers of Body Transformation as a mortal… He could already use the full potential of his physique without risk of self harm. But if it were this simple, there would be no need to create a technique…

The three energies which were innate: physique, qi and spirit. To completely display their innate potential without risk of backlash, and fuse them into a whole that surpassed the parts. In this way, this technique was quite similar to the Black Phoenix Allbeast Empire.

“This technique… I’ll call it Black Phoenix Transcending Emperor!”

Black Phoenix Allbeast Empire, creating a dimension within the soul and fusing together the separated essences of countless battle techniques into a single whole!

Black Phoenix Transcending Emperor, bringing out the full potential of physique, qi and spirit and transcending them by fusing together their separated essences into a single whole!

After creating the techniques, Heifeng Jiansui was still not quite used to them. Now, it was time to earnestly train, train to display the full prowess of innate potential and external techniques! Combine the separate parts into a whole that surpasses the parts!

The danger that Ganwu Aina, the Soulthrall Princess posed was something that couldn’t be understated. Now stripped of his Daoscripts, he needed to catch up or else…

+++

‘Earnest training’ only required 10 days before Heifeng Jiansui was sure that bringing out further potential was impossible. That meant that only a single day had passed outside the time acceleration formation. Since he had turned the techniques into muscle memory, there was no more need for further training.

And thus, Heifeng Jiansui decided that the only other way of cultivating this art was to observe others training it!

After commanding both Heifeng Xingmei and Jiuxie to come over at the Ninebless Phoenix Sect’s headquarter, Heifeng Jiansui awaited their arrival.

“Little brother, why did you call me here? And who is this girl?” Heifeng Jiansui suspiciously looked at Jiuxie. She could sense her Black Phoenix bloodline, but the fact that she lacked the Black Phoenix Nine Daos was still too suspicious.

“This is Heifeng Jiuxie. Due to her blood heritage, I took the liberty of granting her the family name. As for how she is related to me, she———“ At this moment, Jiuxie interrupted him.

“———I am his secret lover! He hid me in the mobile estate!”

“…That’s right, I suppose.” Heifeng Jiansui admitted it and led the two beauties inside the renovated sect building.

“Jiuxie means Ninebless, the same name as this Sect. Was she a descendent of the destroyed sect who mutated a Black Phoenix bloodline?” Xingmei curiously asked him.

“That’s right, I suppose?” At Heifeng Jiansui’s words, Jiuxie nodded.

“Did you complete that technique already? Even two days haven’t passed!” Xingmei couldn’t help her surprise.

“That’s right, I suppose…”

“Stop answering everything with that one reply!” Xingmei couldn’t help her frustration at his never-changing answer.

Of course, Heifeng Jiansui’s reply to her was… “That’s right, I suppose.”

+++

“This sect had a time acceleration formation in its legacy? That’s pretty lucky, I suppose.” Heifeng Xingmei inquisitively looked at Jiansui.

“It isn’t part of the Sect legacy, I brought it.”

“Oh, you can already refine Quasi-Earth Rank items. Trading a set for a true Earth Rank formation is quite simple with some connections. As for the Life Qi it uses to power itself, where did it come from?” Hearing Heifeng Jiansui’s answer that wasn’t the oft repeated sentence, Xingmei felt a bit surprised.

“That’s right, I suppose.”

“Hey, that isn’t a proper answer!” Heifeng Jiansui faintly laughed at his sister’s reaction, before seating them in the core of the time accelerated training ground.

“Both of you, get used to this accelerated time and eliminate all sense of incongruity and vertigo. After that, properly memorize these two techniques.” Saying this, he handed two scrolls to both of them that he had painstakingly written with his calligraphy techniques.

Reverently receiving the scrolls, both of them sat and meditated for a while before beginning their reading.

“Wow, these techniques are amazing. While I have access to techniques from the Heritage of our sect, none of them can reach the level of these arts!” Heifeng Xingmei didn’t expect such techniques to be created by her brother’s hands.

As for Jiuxie, she didn’t have much of a reaction. Heifeng Jiansui creating miracles was already a proven fact within her heart.

“If I train in these techniques, I can multiply my power by many times… Wait, what is this Kingdoms Coming to Form Empire?” The technique sounded quite peculiar.

“Oh, it fuses the power of the bound magic beasts by sealing them with their Master’s soul dimension. Both of you are my magic beasts, so you’ll add to strength, won’t you?” A technique that bypasses the limits of the Black Phoenix Trials, but carrying the power of two beast souls into the trial ground! This was Heifeng Jiansui’s way of flouting the rules!
