Chapter 532: Zhao Feiwu's True Identity

After experimenting for a while, Zhang Xuan discovered that the Heavenly Dao True Qi could indeed mature the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo. He then stopped, his eyes gleaming.

With this item able to mature and a method to separate the soul, creating a clone would be just around the corner.

However, before that, he first needed to figure out how to get Mo Hunsheng out! Otherwise, as soon as he injected True Qi, there would be wailing and crying, and the lotus embryo might not even mature before he himself perished.

A Pixue realm ninth-level Soul Oracle servant, even if his strength was much weaker than before, was still better than nothing!

"First, I need to cultivate the Soul Oracle cultivation technique and nurture the Soul Awakening Grass!"

Knowing that getting Mo Hunsheng out required an opportunity, Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry and focused his attention on the Soul Oracle's cultivation techniques.

The Soul Guiding Art he had cultivated before was akin to the Qi Gathering technique for cultivators. Just as one couldn't become a cultivator without successfully gathering qi, one couldn't become a Soul Oracle without successfully guiding the soul.

The Soul Guiding Art only allowed the soul to leave the body; once it left the physical body, its purpose was fulfilled. To continuously strengthen the soul, just like cultivators advancing their realms, various cultivation techniques were needed.

As a six-star Soul Oracle, Mo Hunsheng had quite a few methods for soul cultivation in his mind, along with various cultivation insights, enough to compile thousands of volumes.

After organizing them, he found that the techniques from successful soul guiding up to around the Pixue realm second level had no errors whatsoever, but beyond the second level, they had some flaws.

"This is just right, not much different from my current cultivation realm," he thought, "let's start cultivating!"

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, his spirit moved, and his soul left his body. He began cultivating according to the organized Heavenly Dao Soul Oracle cultivation technique.

His soul power rapidly progressed.

He didn't know how much time had passed. His soul returned to his body, and Zhang Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

Outside, the sky was already bright; sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the cave, exceptionally dazzling.

"After a night of cultivation," he mused, "my soul power has already reached the Pixue realm second level!"

With the abundant Heavenly Dao cultivation techniques and medium-grade spirit stones providing energy, his soul improved rapidly, reaching the Pixue realm second level in just one night.

This meant that his soul power was even stronger than his physical cultivation.

"However, Soul Oracles are taboo on the continent," he thought, "it's best not to use this power easily..."

Soul Oracles, like Poison Masters, were taboo, making many people wary of them. If someone knew his soul could leave his body and possess combat ability, his Master Teacher identity would likely be difficult to maintain.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to use this power.

"I can now cultivate the Soul Awakening Grass!"

He stretched and stood up.

Mo Hunsheng had already taught him the method for cultivating the Soul Awakening Grass.

The so-called Soul Awakening Grass didn't refer to a specific plant, but rather a plant nurtured with special soul methods, enabling the herb to attract and awaken souls.

However, regardless of how it was cultivated, a plant capable of integrating with a soul had to be found. Such a plant was not easy to find, and he probably had to go to Myriad Kingdoms City to purchase it.

Walking out of the cave, he found that everyone else had also woken up, each one ready and full of energy.

The fear and exhaustion from yesterday's Soul Oracle's tomb had all been recovered after a night of recuperation.

"Let's go to Myriad Kingdoms City!" Zhang Xuan called out.

Everyone once again leaped onto Zhao Feiwu's spirit beast's back, and it soared straight into the sky, with the Demon Monarch Beast also following.

As for Pavilion Master Sai and Luo Zhu, having long heard about the Master Teacher Tournament and wishing to observe it, they did not return to Honghai City and followed behind.

Like a black line streaking across the sky, everyone rode straight forward on the spirit beast's back. With the Demon Monarch Beast, a creature famous throughout the alliance, as their escort, no ignorant savage beasts or spirit beasts dared to cause trouble along the way. Even powerful cultivators riding flying spirit beasts, upon seeing the powerful aura it exuded, all scattered and kept their distance.

The journey was smooth and unimpeded.

Five days later, a massive city appeared in everyone's sight.

This city was even grander and more imposing than Honghai City, with various magnificent and beautiful buildings arrayed row upon row.

Standing by the 'window' on the beast's back, Zhang Xuan looked down. The enormous city lay on a vast plain, like a neat and tidy sketch. A massive river flowed through its center, bringing endless vitality and life.

"The Myriad Kingdoms Alliance has embassies for trade from various kingdoms, as well as trading posts established by other peer forces, and even teleportation points for goods from the Illusion Feather Empire..." Zhao Feiwu explained with a smile. "Forces are intertwined, and it's a mix of all sorts of people! However, no matter who it is, as long as they are in Myriad Kingdoms City, they must obey the orders of the Alliance Leader's Residence!"

"Mmm!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

The Alliance Leader's Residence, known as the royal family of the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance and the true power holders, was something he had heard about back in Tianwu Kingdom.

As for the Master Teacher Pavilion, although its status was extremely high, it did not concern itself with political affairs; as long as there was no social unrest, it would generally not intervene or interfere.

"There's still a long time until the Master Teacher Tournament," Zhao Feiwu said. "Why don't you all come with me to the Alliance Leader's Residence, stay for a few days to rest, and let me host you properly? It won't be too late to inquire about the situation before going to the Master Teacher Pavilion!"

There were still over two months until the so-called Master Teacher Tournament, so there was no rush.

"The Alliance Leader's Residence? Is Young Master Zhao from the Alliance Leader's Residence?" Pavilion Master Sai asked, looking at him with doubt.

This Zhao Feiwu had been following Master Teacher Zhang, and Pavilion Master Sai had thought he was a friend, not knowing he was from Myriad Kingdoms City.

Even Zhao Ya and the others only knew that Young Master Zhao was a special envoy of the alliance, but were unaware of his specific identity.

"Yes, Alliance Leader Zhao Tianhao is precisely my father!" Zhao Feiwu replied.

"You are Alliance Leader Zhao's son? That's not right, Alliance Leader Zhao only has one son, Zhao Hui; I've met him before..." Pavilion Master Sai was stunned.

Alliance Leader Zhao was the most powerful person in the entire Myriad Kingdoms Alliance, and his son was akin to a crown prince. As Pavilion Master of the Appraising Pavilion, he had met him a few times, and he was completely different from the Zhao Feiwu before him.

"I did not intentionally deceive anyone," Zhao Feiwu explained, "it's just that when traveling alone, for convenience, I deliberately disguised myself!"

With a gentle smile, Zhao Feiwu brushed a hand across their face, and their appearance immediately underwent a subtle change. Although they still looked similar to before, they now had bright eyes and white teeth, clearly a woman.

Although still dressed in men's clothing, both their temperament and appearance were flawless, no weaker than Princess Mo Yu.

"You're a woman?"

Pavilion Master Sai, Luo Zhu, Zhao Ya, and the others suddenly realized this.

Among the group, perhaps only Zhang Xuan remained perfectly calm.

The first time he saw her, his Eye of Insight had already recognized her true gender, so even with the revelation now, he felt no shock.

"The Zhao Hui Pavilion Master Sai just mentioned is indeed my elder brother," Zhao Feiwu introduced herself, "and I am the second princess of the alliance, Zhao Lian! I was frail since childhood, and my father, hoping I could be like normal people, bestowed upon me the title 'Flying Dance Princess.' Thus, I adopted the alias Zhao Feiwu. You may also call me Zhao Feiwu!"

"So, it's Princess Feiwu!" Pavilion Master Sai and Luo Zhu exchanged glances, suddenly realizing.

They had long heard that the Alliance Leader had a frail and sickly princess, rumored to have congenital myasthenia, for which no cure could be found throughout the entire alliance. Since they had met her in male attire, they had never suspected it was her.

"I heard that when Alliance Leader Zhao bestowed this title," Pavilion Master Sai began, "he hoped his sickly second princess could dance gracefully like a swallow. Unfortunately, a reward offered throughout the land failed to find a cure. How is it that...?"

Pavilion Master Sai looked over, full of questions. Princess Feiwu's illness had alarmed many people; countless physicians had come, but all had failed. By all normal accounts, she should be bedridden and unable to walk, so how could her vitality and spirit be no different from an ordinary person's? Could the rumors have been mistaken?

"Master Teacher Zhang saved me!" Zhao Feiwu replied with a slight smile, her bright eyes captivating.

"Oh!" Pavilion Master Sai suddenly understood.

Knowing her identity, he had always wondered why such a distinguished princess, one of the most powerful figures in the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance, was so convinced by Master Teacher Zhang, even showing such reverence. This was the reason.

"I had long heard that Master Teacher Zhang's medical skills were excellent, but I never expected them to be this formidable..." He let out a wry smile.

He had previously heard Sun Qiang boast about how superb his young master's medical skills were, and Wen Yanling had personally witnessed the power of the knockout healing method. But it was only after hearing Princess Feiwu's personal admission that he truly understood that in terms of healing, Master Teacher Zhang was equally terrifyingly powerful.

The princess's congenital myasthenia had caused a sensation throughout the entire alliance; countless physicians had examined her, but none had found a cure. Master Teacher Zhang's ability to cure it clearly demonstrated his exceptional medical skill.

"Master Teacher Zhang, Feiwu truly did not intend to conceal anything; please forgive me!" Zhao Feiwu said with a smile, looking at Master Teacher Zhang.

This young man, of similar age to her, had profound knowledge in several professions: Master Teacher, physician, appraiser, formation master... His talent was so strong that he was no weaker, and perhaps even stronger, than her famous elder brother! This filled her with a deep sense of admiration from the bottom of her heart.

"You're too kind," Zhang Xuan said. Although he knew she was a woman, he was still a little surprised to learn she was a princess. "Since you are a princess, your sources of information should be very extensive. I happen to have something I'd like to ask about!"

"Please speak, Master Teacher Zhang!" Zhao Feiwu nodded.

It had to be said, she was indeed very beautiful. Although she didn't have much cultivation, she possessed a captivating heroic aura and a unique temperament.

"I'd like to purchase a Soul Soothing Grass, the older the better," Zhang Xuan said after thinking for a moment. "If it's truly unavailable, a Deep Affection Flower would also work, preferably over 500 years old. Most importantly, it must be fresh and able to be planted; dried or roasted ones are useless to me. Princess Feiwu, could you help me inquire about this?"

The Soul Awakening Grass was not a specific type of plant; any plant capable of containing a soul aura would suffice. After considering for the past few days, he thought of two types of herbs available within the Myriad Kingdoms Alliance: Soul Soothing Grass and Deep Affection Flower.

These two items were not widely known but were exceptionally precious. He was unfamiliar with the alliance, so since she was a princess, finding them should be very simple.

"Soul Soothing Grass, Deep Affection Flower? Fresh?" Unexpectedly, Master Teacher Zhang wanted such items. Zhao Feiwu was startled, her delicate brows furrowing.
