第一千三百九十三章 凤凰血脉

Lin Xuan was anxious, but the misty clouds remained silent. After a long while, he heard a faint sigh.

"Lord, originally, although humans and demons follow different paths, after advancing to the Profound Void Realm, one can master the laws of heaven and earth to eliminate the hindrance of chaotic demon energy."

"Not bad, that's what you said before," Lin Xuan said with a strange expression on his face. "What happened? Could something have changed?"

"You're indeed clever, Lord; you guessed it right away." In the cave府中, Yuan Yuan wore a bitter smile. "Not long ago, I discovered a secret. If this were any other time, it would be great news, but for us to stay together, it has become a hindrance."

"Oh?" Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead and said in a low voice, "Tell me, the sky hasn't fallen yet. With me here, no matter how big the problem is, there's always a way to solve it. Over three hundred years of ups and downs have made Lord calm when faced with issues. Yuan Yuan flashed an appreciative look. A man should be like this; if he panics at every turn, how can he be your husband?

"I know that you are a celestial bird, originally thinking I was a peacock. But recently, by chance, I discovered my true origins..." Yuan Yuan's soft voice echoed in his ears.

"Origins?" Lin Xuan was stunned and repeated the word softly.

"It turns out, I thought I was born from a peacock egg, but there is only a tiny bit of phoenix bloodline in me. It turns out that it's all the other way around," Yuan Yuan said with a sigh.

"Is that so...?" Lin Xuan's face turned pale as he realized something.

"Yes, Lord, I told you before that I was born without parents and hatched from a peacock egg. But now I realize that my phoenix bloodline is much stronger, nearly half of it," Yuan Yuan continued.

"So are you saying your father or mother could be the divine bird Phoenix in the upper realms? But...," Lin Xuan hesitated before continuing, "I remember when we met in Youzhou, you were being chased by several Core Formation cultivators. To defeat them, you borrowed the power of the Great Peacock Dharmaraja."

"There's nothing strange about that; I told you that half of my bloodline comes from the phoenix, and the other half is from the peacock," Yuan Yuan said through the mist.

"I see, so this isn't good news?" Lin Xuan was puzzled. "Peacocks are just celestial birds, but the phoenix's bloodline is much more noble. Even in the spirit realm, true dragons and colorful phoenixes are revered."

"That's right, but because my bloodline has become much nobler, the hindrance of chaotic demon energy is even more terrifying now. Before, with one of us reaching the Profound Void Realm, we could hope for a long-term relationship," Yuan Yuan said.

"Now, do you mean both of us must reach this realm to be free from that hindrance?" Lin Xuan was taken aback and his face turned grim.

"Yes, Lord, you misunderstood. It's not about reaching a higher realm; before, one of us just needed to reach the Profound Void Realm for us to stay together. Now, both of us must do so," Yuan Yuan nodded in the cave府中, her face showing a hint of shame.

"It doesn't matter, two people's happiness requires joint effort. But you've advanced quickly and are now at the Separation Union stage. With my aunt’s help, I’m not doing well and holding you back."

"Stupid girl, why would you say that?" Lin Xuan said with a frown.

"I'm right; why don't you see me?" Yuan Yuan asked.

"My aunt didn’t tell you? I made a vow to undergo severe meditation. I won’t advance to Separation Union until I come out of seclusion," Yuan Yuan explained.

"What, severe meditation? That’s a dangerous path," Lin Xuan said, his face turning pale. Severe meditation was a form of spiritual cultivation where one planted a demon in their heart and made a vow to reach a certain realm. The process was extremely perilous due to the presence of the demon, but it also provided immense stimulation for cultivators.

"True, but because my bloodline has become much nobler, this hindrance is even more terrifying now. Before, with one of us reaching the Profound Void Realm, we could hope for a long-term relationship," Yuan Yuan continued.

Lin Xuan fell silent, but he was a man who could pick up and put down things easily. His confusion quickly turned into determination.

"Even if we can't see each other often, true love endures beyond time and space."

Even secular people say so; as cultivators with potentially endless lifespans, as long as they focus on cultivation, why should their future happiness be in doubt?

Although Lin Xuan missed his beloved wife deeply, her safety was the top priority. He fell into silence but quickly regained his composure.

"Yuan Yuan, open the cave府门."

"I understand; I can't see you now."

"I know, since you've made this choice, how could I not support it? We don’t have to meet, but there are things I need to give you. They will greatly help your cultivation," Lin Xuan said.

"Oh, Lord, please wait a moment." Yuan Yuan raised her hands and cast several spells before the cave府门 opened with a rumbling sound. The clouds swirled as a path became visible.
