Jun Xiaoyao and Princess Huo Linger arrived at a blessed land within the Fire Clan.
As the little princess of the Fire Clan, Princess Huo Linger had her own secluded cultivation area, which was rich in Spiritual Qi and inscribed with a Spirit Gathering Formation.
Next, Jun Xiaoyao helped Princess Huo Linger refine a sub-fire of the Chaos True Fire.
With Jun Xiaoyao's Chaos Constitution, he could condense a sub-fire at any time.
Giving away a wisp was of no consequence.
Yet Princess Huo Linger was extremely moved, as if she had received some immense favor.
Soon, soft groans from Princess Huo Linger drifted from within the secluded cultivation area.
Occasionally, they were intermingled with muffled hums that carried a hint of pain.
Even with Princess Huo Linger's Fire Spirit Sacred Physique, refining a wisp of the Chaos True Fire's sub-fire was not easy.
Jun Xiaoyao could make the sub-fire docile, but it still possessed a terrifyingly scorching temperature.
Thus, Princess Huo Linger still had to endure immense torment and suffering.
However, this torment was beneficial and harmless to her.
It was a form of tempering and reshaping for her Fire Spirit Sacred Physique.
After some time.
Inside the secluded cultivation area, Princess Huo Linger's cries ceased.
"I succeeded..."
At this moment, Princess Huo Linger's exquisite face was flushed, she was panting, and her body was drenched in fragrant sweat.
Strands of hair at her temples were stuck to her fair, delicate cheeks.
She looked at Jun Xiaoyao standing elegantly in white nearby, her expression filled with unconcealable joy.
"Linger succeeded! Linger finally refined the seed Master gave me!"
Princess Huo Linger revealed a radiant smile.
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly stunned.
Why did normal words sound so awkward when spoken by Princess Huo Linger?
However, he still said, "Not bad. At least you look a bit more like it now."
With the help of the Chaos True Fire's sub-fire, Princess Huo Linger's cultivation broke through directly to the Middle Stage of the Chaos Dao Venerable.
The Chaos Dao Venerable realm is fundamentally about comprehending the intent of Chaos.
And the sub-fire of the Chaos True Fire was undoubtedly the most suitable means for this Breakthrough.
It inherently contained the intent of Chaos.
It could be said that even looking across the Origin Universe, Princess Huo Linger's cultivation was extremely outstanding among her peers.
Furthermore, the sub-fire of the Chaos True Fire had tempered her Fire Spirit Sacred Physique, causing it to evolve in a stronger direction.
This "Named Disciple" finally looked a little more like one.
Although there was still an unreachable distance to Jun Xiaoyao's standard for an official Disciple.
Following this, Jun Xiaoyao continued to stay with the Fire Clan, waiting for Feng Luohan's birthday banquet to begin.
He wanted to see what mysteries that Young Lord of the Lu Ancient Clan held.
There was one other matter.
Jun Xiaoyao could feel that the Fire Clan's attitude toward him had become more gentle and polite.
Perhaps it was because he had helped Princess Huo Linger break through and transform.
Or perhaps it was because the Fire Clan had already guessed his Physique.
But Jun Xiaoyao did not care.
He had never intended to deliberately hide his Physique.
Additionally, Princess Huo Linger's brother, Huo Xuan, also frequently came to find Jun Xiaoyao to discuss the path of cultivation.
Although Jun Xiaoyao could not give sub-fire to others casually, he still offered a few pointers.
This immediately left Huo Xuan filled with reverence and admiration.
Over time, the two of them developed a slight acquaintance.
Under these circumstances, the birthday banquet for the Feng Clan's Heavenly Maiden finally arrived.
Huo Xuan had already spoken with Jun Xiaoyao.
If that Lu Yuan dared to appear at Feng Luohan's birthday banquet.
He would definitely not let him off.
After all, his followers were not so easily killed.
Regarding this, Jun Xiaoyao was noncommittal.
One could imagine that if Huo Xuan really did that.
The result would merely be becoming a target for Lu Yuan to slap in the face.
He might even be used by Lu Yuan as an example to warn others.
But with Jun Xiaoyao around.
He only wanted to see what kind of methods that Lu Yuan actually had.
...
The Feng Clan was located in the southern region of the Shanhai Star Realm.
Its territory was vast, encompassing numerous blessed lands and countless Star Domains.
As a sub-ultimate power, its sphere of influence, while not covering the entire Shanhai Star Realm, was still substantial.
It was still a hegemon, with only a few other powers of the same level.
And these past few days.
Numerous storied boats, flying ships, and ancient beasts crossed Star Domains, passing through various teleportation Formations to arrive in the region where the Feng Clan was located.
The birthday banquet for the Feng Clan's Heavenly Maiden, Feng Luohan, undoubtedly attracted attention from all directions.
Feng Luohan's reputation for beauty went without saying, but if it were only for her appearance, she would not have such a great reputation.
Her talent and strength were equally outstanding; she was a top figure of the Feng Clan, possessed the Wind Spirit Sacred Physique, and was one of the leaders of the Feng Clan's younger generation.
Furthermore, she was an elegant and intellectual beauty who loved zither music and melodies.
This undoubtedly made Feng Luohan even more attractive to those male Prodigies.
As for the so-called marriage alliance with the Young Lord of the Lu Clan.
Everyone believed that it was merely a ruse.
Moreover, among the powers qualified to attend Feng Luohan's birthday banquet.
Which one was not more powerful than the Lu Ancient Clan?
Therefore, they did not mind at all.
Instead, they had all carefully prepared gifts, hoping to win the beauty's favor.
If one could gain Feng Luohan's favor, it would truly be like a pie falling from the sky.
Not only would one win the beauty, but one would also gain the assistance of the Feng Clan, smoothing the path ahead.
Here at the Feng Clan's ancestral star.
In the Void Realm, the carriages and ancient beasts of various powers gathered.
They were all prominent powers of the Shanhai Star Realm.
Suddenly, a procession rumbled across the Void Realm, its Formation far exceeding that of ordinary powers.
"Hiss, the people from the Fire Clan have arrived!"
"No wonder the momentum is so great."
Some people said upon seeing this.
The Fire Clan was as famous as the Feng Clan; both were sub-ultimate powers of the Shanhai Star Realm.
Since they were on equal footing, there was naturally competition.
For example, the Fire Clan's little princess, Princess Huo Linger, was often compared to the Feng Clan's Heavenly Maiden, Feng Luohan.
Of course, there was competition as well as cooperation, and the two powers did not have any major enmity.
Not to mention that everyone knew that the Fire Clan's noble Young Master, Huo Xuan, had long been enamored with Feng Luohan.
It was previously rumored that his followers had gone to the Lu Ancient Clan to demand the cancellation of the marriage alliance, only to meet a strange demise in the end.
This time, many people really wanted to watch the show.
With his own followers having fallen, it was naturally impossible for Huo Xuan to just swallow his anger.
"That is the carriage of the Fire Clan's little princess. Tsk tsk, this time we might be able to see the two beauties compete in splendor."
Some Cultivators also looked at the chariot drawn by nine Fire Phoenixes within the Fire Clan's procession.
Everyone knew that it was the carriage of the Fire Clan's Princess Huo Linger.
And Princess Huo Linger was a beauty as famous as Feng Luohan.
Moreover, unlike Feng Luohan's intellectual elegance.
Princess Huo Linger was petite and clever, but not in the loli style; her face was pure and beautiful, yet her figure was very mature.
This contrast could be called unique.
There were even some Cultivators who had absurdly thought that if someone could simultaneously conquer the two beauties of Wind and Fire and enjoy the blessings of both.
That would simply be reaching the heavens in one step.
But it was just a thought.
Everyone knew that this was simply impossible.
Both women were pivotal figures in their respective clans with noble statuses beyond measure; how could they both be enamored with the same man?
Unless that man was Heaven-Defyingly excellent.
However, such a figure would likely only emerge from those high-and-mighty ultimate powers, right?
At least in the Shanhai Star Realm, no such figure had appeared yet.
