Chapter 1397: One Night Divine Path

The rampaging profound beasts all quieted down. Even the auras of those inherently brutal and aggressive profound beasts became exceptionally gentle, and in a state of calm and confusion, they returned to their territories or nests one by one.

This disaster for the Phoenix Remnant clan subsided before it even fully erupted.

Yun Che scanned his surroundings, and after confirming there was no danger, he gently descended from the sky. Although, with his current power, annihilating all the profound beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range would be a mere thought, doing so, while eliminating future troubles, would have an extremely detrimental impact on the ecosystem and the future. Previously, Feng Xue'er had always suppressed profound beast unrest wherever it occurred, and would never exterminate the profound beasts in an area unless the situation became utterly uncontrollable.

Members of the Phoenix Remnant clan rushed over, gathering around Yun Che and Feng Xian'er. Their gazes towards Yun Che changed once again; especially the younger boys and girls, their bright eyes seemed to be looking up at a redeeming deity.

"Yun Che, what was that just now?" Feng Baichuan asked, barely containing his excitement.

Yun Che replied, "The reason these profound beasts experienced such a drastic change in temperament is likely due to the influence of a certain dark profound energy, which amplifies negative emotions in living beings. I just used a profound energy that is antithetical to it to pacify their negative emotions."

As he spoke, he harbored deep doubts in his heart.

From the state of all the profound beast unrest, they were undoubtedly influenced by some dark profound energy.

But why... can I not sense the existence of this dark profound energy?

Could it be that this dark aura, whose origin is unknown, is at such a high level that even I am not qualified to detect it?

The spiritual senses of lower-level profound beasts are both more sensitive and more fragile than humans', so it's not strange that they would be affected first. But at the same time, the profound beast unrest has clearly been escalating. If this continues, not only will the scope expand, but higher-level profound beasts will also gradually be affected.

And further down the line, would even humans be...

Yun Che's brows unconsciously furrowed.

"I see," Feng Baichuan nodded, not pressing for more details.

"However," Yun Che said, "the source of this dark profound energy is still unknown, but its influence persists and has been escalating. Although the profound beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range have been temporarily appeased, this may not last for too long."

Upon hearing this, unease appeared on the faces of the Phoenix descendants.

"Father," Feng Zu'er said, "Should we move away from here? Without the Phoenix God's protection now, we can't possibly keep asking Benefactor Brother to come every time."

After Feng Zu'er finished speaking, the younger Phoenix men and women's eyes flickered. However, Feng Baichuan did not respond, and the elders also remained silent, looking ahead with incredibly complex expressions.

They had lived in seclusion here their entire lives and were long accustomed to it. Even after their bloodline curse was lifted and they gained increasingly powerful strength, they were still unwilling to re-enter the world. How could they easily accept leaving this place?

"There's no need for that," Yun Che said with a smile. He then raised his arm, and a flame shimmered.

*Whoosh...*

A streak of Phoenix flame shimmered far in the sky. Within the flame, a Phoenix barrier of the same size as the previous one formed, but it was several times stronger. Unless one possessed the Phoenix bloodline, not even an Emperor would be able to enter.

Yun Che's current power was still in recovery, not even two-tenths of his peak state, yet it already surpassed the Phoenix Soul by countless times, making the construction of such a Phoenix barrier effortlessly simple.

"Wow!" gasps of astonishment rose. "It's a new Phoenix barrier!"

Not only was it new, but every one of them could clearly feel that the newly formed Phoenix barrier radiated a more fervent Phoenix aura than the original.

"If this barrier is not subjected to external impact, it can last for about two hundred years," Yun Che said with a slight smile. "Every two hundred years, I will come to reinforce it... But I believe that in two hundred years, you won't even need this barrier anymore."

"That's wonderful... truly wonderful!" an old Phoenix clan member exclaimed excitedly.

They had long known that Yun Che would be extremely powerful after recovering his strength. But just now, they watched with their own eyes as he, with a mere flick of his hand, seemingly without even a ripple of profound energy, instantly erected a barrier more powerful than the Phoenix God's, one that could last for two hundred years. Only then did they realize that Yun Che's power had completely surpassed the scope of their understanding and far exceeded the limits of this world.

"Thank you... Benefactor Brother," Feng Xian'er said, her eyes brimming with emotion.

"Uh... as long as you're not mad at me," Yun Che said with a laugh.

Feng Xian'er lowered her head and whispered, "How could I... be mad at you?"

Feng Zu'er watched the two of them, sensing a somewhat strange atmosphere, and widened her eyes intently.

Feng Baichuan and Feng Caiyun exchanged glances. The former shook his head with a smile and murmured, "Ah, youth."

For the past few days, Yun Wuxin had mostly been asleep. When she occasionally woke up, she would quickly fall back asleep due to extreme weakness.

At the same time, Yun Che also focused on calming his mind and restoring his power as much as possible, finally recovering enough to restore her profound energy.

Illusory Demon Realm, Yun Clan.

A barrier spread out in the courtyard, isolating all sight, sound, and aura. This barrier was personally set up by Yun Che; no one in this plane could break through it.

Inside the barrier were not only Yun Che and Yun Wuxin, but also Cang Yue, the Little Demon Empress, Feng Xue'er, Xiao Lingxi, Su Ling'er, Chu Yuechan, and Feng Xian'er, all specifically summoned by Yun Che.

Yun Wuxin lay in Chu Yuechan's arms, her face still deathly pale—a sight that would cause anyone immense heartache. Yun Che sat before her and took out a small jade bottle from the Sky Poison Pearl. Inside the bottle were a drop of Divine Water of Life and a drop of Dragon Xi Jade Liquid.

"Yun Che, can she truly recover? Is there any chance it might harm her?" Chu Yuechan asked, knowing she was asking a foolish question. Given Yun Che's love and guilt for Yun Wuxin, he would absolutely not allow any possibility of harm to her, yet she couldn't completely release her worry.

Yun Che smiled. "Don't worry, these spirit liquids were refined using the gentlest power in this world, designed not to harm living beings. Not only will they not harm Xin'er, but they will also greatly enhance her physique, profound veins, and profound energy, raising her to Xue'er's level."

"Ah!" As Yun Che finished speaking, the women were startled, collectively letting out gasps of surprise.

What kind of cultivation did Feng Xue'er possess? She was the Phoenix Goddess of the Azure Cloud Continent, the first person in this plane to truly step into the Divine Way. Aside from Yun Che, she was the undisputed strongest on the entire Blue Pole Star, a profound way miracle that shook ancient and modern times...

Yet Yun Che was saying that Yun Wuxin, who had completely lost her profound energy... would directly reach Feng Xue'er's level!?

Although these words came directly from Yun Che's mouth, they were too unbelievable. Even Feng Xue'er and the Little Demon Empress found it hard to believe and accept for a long time.

Yun Che offered no explanation, merely tapping his finger lightly. Instantly, the Divine Water of Life and Dragon Xi Jade Liquid from the bottle gathered at his fingertip—two crystalline drops that refracted strange, star-like glows.

An ineffable aura of purity and divinity also filled the entire space.

"Xin'er, don't think about anything, don't do anything, just trust Daddy," Yun Che said softly.

"Mm," Yun Wuxin responded, then obediently parted her lips.

A white light emerged from Yun Che's body. He slightly closed his eyes, extended a finger, and lightly touched Yun Wuxin's delicate lips. With a slight movement of profound energy, he guided the Divine Water of Life and Dragon Xi Jade Liquid into her body.

*Om—*

In that instant, Yun Wuxin felt as if a small universe had exploded within her.

Vast and boundless power spread throughout every corner of her body. Yet, despite being incredibly immense and magnificent, it was also supremely gentle. It caused her not the slightest discomfort; instead, she felt an extreme sense of comfort, as if in paradise.

An excessively immense power also overflowed from her body at the same time, creating an equally vast, yet exceptionally gentle, profound energy storm in the surrounding space.

But instantly, this storm vanished. As Yun Che rotated his wrist, a layer of light profound energy enveloped Yun Wuxin, firmly locking the medicinal power of the Divine Water of Life and Dragon Xi Jade Liquid within her body, preventing even a trace from overflowing. Simultaneously, he guided the released spiritual energy to rapidly merge with Yun Wuxin's body, blood, meridians, and profound veins.

What unfolded next, visible to the women's eyes and spiritual senses, was a dream-like scene with every passing breath.

Her originally weak life aura became exceptionally strong after just a few breaths, leaving Yun Wuxin without any trace of weakness. Then, profound energy began to emerge from her body, soaring at a terrifying speed.

Elementary Profound Realm... Nascent Profound Realm... True Profound Realm... Spirit Profound Realm... Earth Profound Realm... Sky Profound Realm... Sovereign Profound Realm...

Cultivating the profound way requires laying foundations, accumulating, comprehending, and seizing opportunities. Especially advancing to major realms requires overcoming bottlenecks that one might never cross in a lifetime.

But the profound energy within Yun Wuxin defied common sense, surging explosively across realms.

In less than a quarter-hour, she had already broken through the Sovereign Profound Realm and reached the Tyrant Emperor Realm—the same realm Yun Wuxin had just reached before.

But everything did not stop there. Yun Wuxin's profound energy continued to surge at an incredibly fast pace. Her eyes were closed, her face serene, without any trace of pain.

Tyrant Profound Realm... Monarch Profound Realm...

Finally, after less than half an hour, the profound energy within Yun Wuxin effortlessly broke through the boundaries of the Monarch Profound Realm and also transcended the limits of the mortal path, releasing the divine profound aura they had only ever felt from Feng Xue'er.

The white light around Yun Wuxin also finally began to dissipate at this moment.

Yun Che withdrew his arm, which had been extended in the air, and opened his eyes along with Yun Wuxin.

Yun Wuxin's profound cultivation realm at this moment... Divine Origin Realm, Level One!

Half an hour, from having no profound energy to directly entering the Divine Way!

Yun Wuxin raised her hand, feeling the power within her. Then she looked at her father, her eyes sparkling like stars. "Daddy, you're truly amazing!"

"Haha," Yun Che laughed wholeheartedly, seeing Yun Wuxin's joyful and delighted expression. "Of course, otherwise, how could I be your Daddy?"

"However, your understanding of the profound way is still far from matching the power you now possess, so you'll need quite some time to comprehend and adapt. But don't worry," Yun Che said, patting his chest, "With Daddy here, none of this is a problem. I will personally teach you from now on."

"Mm!" Yun Wuxin smiled ecstatically.
