Chapter 1695: with translation of chapter title

The stability of the Dao Mark Scar is really difficult to control.

Studying high-level secret arts is a grueling task; not only is the body in constant danger, often blowing oneself up, but the mental toll is also enormous.

Xiao Feng repeatedly fused the Little Sword with the Dao Mark Scar and hurled it, blasting the wasteland region of Magic Source Mountain until everything was destroyed, turning it into ruins.

But this skill never fully matured.

Relying solely on that explosion's power, it can at most deal a couple of zillion damage—less than the Dao Mark Scar itself exploding—wasting all that divine primordial energy.

Xiao Feng also tried changing his approach, not insisting on using the Little Sword's form, but instead switching to forms like the Source Attribute Magic Ball, Yin Yang Disc, Five Elements Disc, etc., to release it.

But the result was always the same; he never succeeded.

After dozens of failures, his mana was temporarily exhausted.

Xiao Feng sat in midair recovering his mana, thinking to himself: "Back when Xun Shuang Xianzi studied secret arts, she focused on the Yin Yang Dao, researching seven or eight secret arts in total, and ultimately relied on her strongest move, the Liangyi Wheel Reincarnation Realm, to surpass the fifth rank. The Liangyi Wheel Reincarnation Realm is actually a sixth-rank secret art; it took her over a hundred years to achieve it... What rank is my secret art? How long will it take?"

Back when they used to exchange insights on the Dao long ago, Xun Shuang Xianzi had mentioned these things to him.

Her Innate Dao Body differs from the player version, and she doesn't have this kind of Seal Release Mission.

However, since she herself pursues the Dao, she will definitely do these things as well; just studying law-based secret arts took a lot of time and effort.

Now Xiao Feng's goal to surpass is her, so no matter the aspect, he must compare himself to the contemporary Xun Shuang Xianzi!

Although Xun Shuang Xianzi's realm is inferior to that of a Venerable, in terms of the difficulty of surpassing her, it is far greater than surpassing a Venerable.

Of her three thousand years, much of that time was spent contemplating the Dao, while the time actually devoted to cultivation and advancement was relatively little.

Moreover, NPCs naturally level up slower than players, which is why she only reached the God King Realm after three thousand years.

As a player, Xiao Feng has many privileges, so he can't be compared solely by time.

He wants to compete with the Fairy Maiden in self-created secret arts; since she developed her own sixth-rank secret art, he needs to be seventh rank or higher to perfectly surpass her!

Only by surpassing her in every aspect can he thoroughly defeat her when they meet again and keep her by his side!

"Continue!"

After replenishing his mana, Xiao Feng recondensed the Dao Mark Scar, then crafted an amethyst-like Source Attribute Divine Power Little Sword.

The Dao Pattern merged into the Little Sword, the unstable feeling resurfaced, and Xiao Feng hastily threw it out.

Boom~

With a tremendous roar, the already horrific wasteland became even more barren; the pits on the ground are now over 300 kilometers deep, and jumping in would require half a day of free fall to reach the bottom.

"How can I prevent it from exploding?" he wondered.

Beep beep~

At that moment, a friend's message arrived.

Upon opening it, he saw it was a message from Feng Feng Shi!

This is a rare occurrence, as the Dao Ancestor's daughter never initiates conversation; even if you beg her to speak, she won't give you face, but this is the first time she has proactively reached out to chat with someone!

Xiao Feng hurriedly opened it to take a look.

Only hearing Feng Feng Shi's dreamy, ethereal voice tinged with annoyance, she said: "Take your mount away!"

Xiao Feng's expression stiffened as he thought: "Oh no, Da Bai must have teased the Qinglian Xianzi too much and got reported!"

With a thought, he was about to summon the He Xianzi back.

Unexpectedly, Feng Feng Shi sent another message, saying: "Wait, never mind..."

Xiao Feng froze for a moment, unable to help asking: "What's wrong? What did that stupid bird do?"

Feng Feng Shi remained silent for a few seconds, then replied: "They... seem to have a bloodline resonance."

"Bloodline resonance? What is that?" Xiao Feng, hearing the term for the first time, asked.

"Come see for yourself."

Feng Feng Shi dislikes speaking, too lazy to explain, and threw over a set of coordinates.

Upon looking, Xiao Feng saw the coordinates were inside Ruby Jade Mountain, where Feng Feng Shi was still cultivating, never having left.

The place where he studied his skills wasn't far from Ruby Jade Mountain to begin with; seeing this, he immediately dispersed his form, shifted several hundred kilometers, three times in a row, arriving near the Secret Realm Core of Ruby Jade Mountain, which is occupied by the Blue Star No. 8 War Zone.

Many cultivators gather near Ruby Jade Mountain, but the innermost area of the Secret Realm Core has only a few people.

Feng Feng Shi also found the environment here excellent, with a high cultivation rate, so she borrowed it from Xiao Feng for a while.

At this moment, outside Ruby Jade Mountain, the He Xianzi's figure cannot be seen; she is obviously inside a cave.

Xiao Feng flashed his body and darted inside.

The cave housing the Secret Realm Core of Ruby Jade Mountain is relatively small, divided into eight tiny caverns, each about six or seven square meters. Currently, each cavern has someone cultivating; aside from Feng Feng Shi, there are the expert players Jian Zhan Cang Sheng and Sha Shen, among others, from the Blue Star No. 8 War Zone.

The small cavern belonging to Feng Feng Shi has its entrance blocked by a spiritual barrier.

However, this spiritual barrier isn't sturdy; it merely signifies 'someone inside, do not disturb,' making it easy to enter if one wishes.

Xiao Feng sent a message to Feng Feng Shi, pierced the spiritual barrier, and walked in.

In the narrow cave, Feng Feng Shi, dressed in a green robe, had a guqin resting across her knees, sitting silently in cultivation without making a sound.

Meanwhile, two women nearby were mingling together, the situation feeling a bit off.

"Big... big brother, how did you come here?"

He Xianzi saw Xiao Feng enter and spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

At this moment, she was holding the Qinglian Xianzi, their bodies pressed together, her clothes somewhat disheveled.

Xiao Feng furrowed his brows.

He tossed the He Xianzi over here, intending for her to hit a wall, be beaten up by the Qinglian Xianzi, and then be driven away.

Unexpectedly, she didn't get beaten at all! Instead, her scheme succeeded, and she got intimate with the Qinglian Xianzi?

"What's going on?"

He waved his hand to form a new spiritual barrier, so others wouldn't see this embarrassing scene.

He waved his hand, forming a new spiritual barrier to prevent others from seeing the embarrassing scene here.

Qinglian Xianzi discovered a man had entered, hurriedly pushed He Xianzi away, and tidied her clothes.

Then he explained: "Xiao Feng Upper Immortal, I... I am exchanging the primordial bloodline with your He Xianzi, trying to go further, break through to rank 9."

"Exchanging bloodline? Using...... this kind of way?" Xiao Feng wore a strange expression.

"No, no, big brother, don't misunderstand, we're just kissing, you know I have nothing down there, I don't have that function!" He Xianzi hurriedly explained.

If she hadn't explained, it would have been fine, but saying that made Qinglian Xianzi's face turn red, she wished she could slap her to death.

Feng Feng Shi could no longer cultivate, opened his eyes, and helplessly said: "You guys be serious, Xiao Feng's Yin-Yang Grand Dao might help you complete the fusion...... hurry up and finish, I still need to cultivate."

This actually meant not opposing them, but instead encouraging Xiao Feng to help.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a bit dazed, and asked again: "Miss Feng Feng, what exactly is the Bloodline Resonance you mentioned? Can it really help them break through to become rank 9 spirit beasts?"
