Chapter 36: Qian Xunji decides to stop being human!

This time, Qian Xunji did not bring anyone.

When he returned to Spirit City from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he would surely have become a god.

……

The Douluo Continent, Sunset Forest.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Your Holiness the Pope." Yue Guan was very excited to see Qian Xunji, just because he had recently made a breakthrough in the cultivation of immortal herbs.

From now on, the Spirit Hall would no longer lack immortal herbs; besides Qian Xunji's offspring, there were still many that could be used on the genius students of the Spirit Hall Academy.

Qian Xunji nodded in response to Yue Guan's enthusiasm, listened to Yue Guan's report first, and after giving praise, he walked toward the fire spring.

Yue Guan knew that the Pope was going to practice again, so he stopped disturbing Qian Xunji.

……

Beside the fire spring.

Qian Xunji had explored the ice and fire springs early on and knew that the skeletons of the two ice and fire dragon kings were under the spring water.

He was now going to achieve godhood, so there was no need to stay on the surface.

Diving all the way down, three full days passed, and he was already three thousand feet deep, with only hot fire waves remaining around him.

This place was not for anyone below a Super Douluo to set foot in.

Qian Xunji's field of vision suddenly opened up, and he descended once again to the resting place of the Fire Dragon King's skeleton.

The Fire Dragon King's body was extremely huge; from head to tail, a simple estimate was at least a thousand meters.

Although it had been dead for many years, the Fire Dragon King's skeleton was still full of divinity; after all, it was at the God King realm, a being that had touched the rules.

Looking from a distance, a sword wound that went straight into the chest was shocking.

But this was not the Fire Dragon King's fatal wound.

You must know that the vitality of soul beasts far exceeds that of humans; even if the heart is pierced, they can linger for some days.

If they encounter a soul beast with healing attributes and do not die on the spot, they might be full of life again after a few years of recuperation.

Not to mention the Dragon Clan, the best among soul beasts.

The Fire Dragon King's true injury stemmed from its divine soul; only if the divine soul was severely injured could it create the divine-filled corpse before him.

Qian Xunji looked at the Fire Dragon King's corpse and was not in a hurry to find the Fire Dragon King's godhead.

He had a brand new idea.

He no longer wanted to be limited to the godhead.

You must know that the Fire Dragon King was a God King powerhouse before its death; even if its divine power was less than one-tenth, its body was a solid God King body.

If he could occupy the Fire Dragon King's body for his own use, in the future, relying on this God King-level physical body, even when facing the Sea God, he would have a self-preservation ability.

At the very least, he would not be killed in one move by the Sea God.

And if he could replace the Fire Dragon King, it would be all benefits and no harm for his plans regarding Gu Yuena.

As for the gods in the God Realm? Qian Xunji planned to develop stealthily; he had already regarded them as enemies before he even went to the God Realm.

In the future, he would kill all the male gods in the God Realm and leave only the female gods.

Qian Xunji wanted to turn the God Realm into his own backyard for hunting beauties.

If it were before, Qian Xunji would indeed not have been able to possess the Fire Dragon King's body for his own use.

But ever since he met Huang and obtained Huang's Ancient Phoenix Seal and Ancient Phoenix Method, everything had become possible.

The highest mystery of the Ancient Phoenix Method is rebirth through fire.

As long as one reaches the divine realm, it can be fully displayed.

Although Qian Xunji was not yet a god, his body, soul, and the power within his body had reached the divine level, so he could barely perform rebirth through fire.

As for bathing in fire, there was no place in the entire Douluo Continent more suitable than the fire spring.

Now everything was ready, and he only lacked the practice of his own ideas.

Qian Xunji calmed his excited mood, came to the Fire Dragon King's corpse, and sat down cross-legged.

He began to drive the Ancient Phoenix Seal with the Ancient Phoenix Method.

The surrounding divine fire began to gather toward Qian Xunji, forming a sphere.

Inside the sphere, there was a phantom of the Ancient Phoenix.

Qian Xunji had already performed the Nirvana divine skill.

The surrounding divine fire surged into the fireball at a very fast speed.

With the addition of the divine fire, the Ancient Phoenix phantom gradually tended to solidify.

As time passed, Qian Xunji's flesh and blood began to melt, followed by his tendons and bones.

……

Half a year later.

Now, there was no longer a person named Qian Xunji inside the fireball; there was only the consciousness that had traveled here. Everything about Qian Xunji had turned into source fire, including his martial soul—the Six-Winged Angel, as well as his divine soul.

Although it was fire, its vitality was exceptionally vigorous and tenacious.

Nirvana had been completed, and the next step was rebirth.

Qian Xunji controlled the fireball to penetrate directly into the Fire Dragon King's corpse.

It was at the heart position.

After the fireball entered the Fire Dragon King's heart, it began to disperse and spread toward the Fire Dragon King's entire skeleton, meridians, and flesh.

Also spreading was Qian Xunji's incomparably vigorous vitality.

Under the nourishment of vitality, the sword wound on the Fire Dragon King's body was recovering visibly to the naked eye, and his body was also transforming from death to life.

……

The Fire Dragon King's body had come back to life by ninety-nine percent, leaving only the head.

Qian Xunji was extremely careful; this step was not easy, and a slight carelessness would lead to eternal damnation.

The Fire Dragon King's head would be the place where Qian Xunji's consciousness and the newly born divine soul would reside.

……

Qian Xunji began to control the source fire to spread toward the Fire Dragon King's head.

The Fire Dragon King's head was moving toward revival.

A voice appeared in Qian Xunji's consciousness.

"I didn't expect that the residual divine soul would have a day to wake up."

"Such a familiar aura."

"Is it Phoenix Senior?"

"It is not. Phoenix is already dead, isn't it? You should be clear about that." Qian Xunji denied.

"I don't think so either."

"Male is Feng, female is Huang."

"I suppose you are Feng."

"I didn't expect you to survive."

"And you met Huang."

"Better luck than mine."

"Counting it up, you and I are of the same generation."

"If it weren't for the Dragon God acting on impulse back then, the God Realm wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the human race."

"It's meaningless to talk about these things now."

"Feng, you want my body, right?"

"I can give it to you, but I have a request."

"I know." Qian Xunji answered preemptively: "The dispute with the Dragon God back then was just a grudge between me and the Dragon God; I will not implicate his descendants."

"With that, I can rest easy. This residual divine soul is my thank-you gift."

"I hope that one day you can lift the shackles my father placed on soul beasts."

"This was not his original intention."

"Back then, although he killed Phoenix, he also suffered heavy backlash himself."

"In the end, you are the leader of soul beasts, just like my father."

"I will."

"With that, I will dissipate." The Fire Dragon King knew that Phoenix was an extremely arrogant existence; even if it was divided into two, turning into Feng and Huang, the arrogance carved into its bones would not disappear.

What Feng promised, it would definitely abide by and complete.

This was also the reason he could rest easy.

The Fire Dragon King dissipated his own consciousness and sent the residual divine soul to Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji's divine soul realm suddenly rose.

And his conversation with the Fire Dragon King all stemmed from the old stories Huang told him.

Seven parts true, three parts false, the main purpose was for the area of the Fire Dragon King's head.

Having handled the Fire Dragon King's residual divine soul, the next step was to re-condense his own divine soul.

As long as he condensed a divine soul, he could live again in place of the Fire Dragon King.
