"Li'er, are we going to Shenfeng City?"
Outside Maple Leaf City, Feng Fei asked the question that had been bothering her.
Xuanyuan Qingli shook his head: "We can't go to Shenfeng City.
There might be pursuers there. We'll change our route and head south."
He thought that at this time, the pursuers he had led to Blazing Fire City should have already turned back.
The other directions were not safe, but Blazing Fire City was the safest option.
Feng Fei said: "Then we should go to Blazing Fire City? Li'er, your martial soul is also fire-attribute.
Blazing Fire City is perfect for your cultivation.
You can go to school there."
Xuanyuan Qingli still shook his head: "Blazing Fire City is too close.
It's not safe. We'll go south to the Star Luo Empire.
When we come back in a few years, no one will recognize us."
After awakening his martial soul, he had undergone considerable changes.
First, his thin body had become more well-proportioned and healthy, and he had also grown taller.
Secondly, there's his appearance. Originally, he inherited Feng Li'er's excellent genes, possessing delicate features and exceptional beauty.
However, his overall features and temperament leaned towards femininity, which explained why his previous disguise as a girl was so convincing, leaving no one suspicious.
But after awakening the Golden Crow Martial Soul, while his appearance didn't change drastically, there were subtle adjustments.
Not only was his face more perfect, but his features also became much more defined, shifting from feminine to masculine beauty, adding a touch of strength to his every move. At
this point, if he were to disguise himself as a little girl again, it would be easier for people to spot him.
Moreover, his eyes became more distinct, his hair even blacker and thicker, radiating a faint golden glow in the sunlight.
An intangible air of noble elegance emanated from him, and even in his rustic, worn clothes, his natural radiance couldn't be concealed.
Given this change in appearance, even someone who isn't very familiar with him might not recognize him.
Moreover, he hasn't awakened the Swan Martial Soul.
Given some time, I'm afraid no one in the entire Douluo Continent will be able to connect him with that seemingly insignificant Fifth Prince.
You'll never believe why I moved to.
"Going to the Star Luo Empire is fine, it's far from Heaven Dou City, very safe."
Feng Fei lacked her own opinion, always
going along with Xuan Yuan Qing Li's suggestion. Xuan Yuan Qing Li led Feng Fei along a path for a while, arriving at a secluded spot.
Seeing no one around, she took a deep breath, extended her right hand, and with a thought, her soul power flowed, instantly manifesting a dark golden bronze sword.
The bronze sword was simple and unadorned, about four feet long and palm-width, with numerous inscriptions and patterns engraved on the blade and hilt.
A heavy pressure spread with the appearance of the bronze sword, and the surrounding void suddenly became incredibly oppressive.
The faintly emanating sharpness was as majestic as heavenly might, grand and vast, instinctively instilling fear and submission in those around them.
"Ah, this is..."
Feng Fei covered her mouth in surprise, her beautiful eyes wide open, and stammered, "This is the Wind Sword?"
But instinctively, she felt something was off. She had seen the Wind Sword Martial Soul when she was a child.
Back then, it was radiant and elegant, truly beautiful, cool, and domineering.
But compared to this ancient longsword, it felt like rubble compared to stars.
The Wind Sword was so magnificent, while this sword seemed unremarkable.
"Comparing the Wind Sword to this sword is an insult to it."
Xuan Yuan Qing Li's heart was already churning with excitement.
He was extremely familiar with this sword.
It was exactly the same as the Xuan Yuan Xia Yu Sword, the symbol of the illustrious civil and military achievements in the portraits of Emperor Xuan Yuan and Emperor Yu that his family had worshipped for generations.
It was also exactly the same as the sword at the waist of the majestic man he saw when he awakened his divine blood.
This is the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, the personal sword of the Xuanyuan Emperor, later passed down to Xia Yu, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor .
It is the undisputed foremost divine sword in Chinese history, a supreme holy sword symbolizing courage, wisdom, and benevolence.
Xuanyuan Qingli stroked the Xuanyuan Sword, looking at the inscriptions and patterns on it.
Sure enough, one side of the blade was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, while the other side was engraved with patterns of mountains, rivers, and plants.
The hilt was inscribed with the principles of agriculture and animal husbandry and the strategy for unifying the four seas.
Although he didn't recognize the divine script, he felt an immense sense of familiarity with it.
However, he also knew that this was not the real Xuanyuan Sword, but a divine sword martial soul born from divine blood combined with the rules of a dimensional world.
It was the symbol of his Xuanyuan bloodline, just as the bloodline of the Yan Emperor gave birth to the Golden Crow, symbolizing fire and the sun.
In just a moment, Xuanyuan Qingli felt as if he was being drained of all his strength.
His innate level 20 soul power was only enough to barely wield the sword for a short time, but if he were to stab it, he believed that even a level 30 Soul Venerable would have to kneel.
Sheathing the Xuanyuan Sword, Xuanyuan Qingli sat on the ground, silently meditating to recover her soul power.
Feng Fei knew the method of meditation.
However, when Xuanyuan Qingli awakened her martial soul, she also gained some knowledge, including an ancient breathing technique called the 'Qiankun Yin Yang Method,' divided into the Qian Yang chapter and the Kun Yin chapter.
The former was suitable for men, and the latter for women.
She tried the Qian Yang chapter and found it could replace meditation, and with even better results.
It not only cultivated soul power but also tempered the spirit, opened meridians, and strengthened internal organs and the body.
Half an hour later, all the consumed soul power was restored, but when he tried to cultivate again, his soul power could no longer increase.
Xuan Yuan Qingli knew that he was stuck at a bottleneck; if he couldn't obtain a soul ring, he couldn't continue to improve.
Seeing him stand up, Feng Fei still looked confused and asked, "Your Highness, how come you have two martial souls?"
With her limited knowledge, she had never heard of twin martial souls, assuming that all soul masters only had one.
Xuan Yuan Qingli said, "This is called twin martial souls.
Although rare, it's normal. You'll understand later.
However, you must keep my sword martial soul a secret.
To the outside world, I only have one Golden Crow martial soul."
"Oh, I see. Is your beast martial soul called Golden Crow?"
This was another martial soul she had never heard of before.
Of course, with her limited knowledge, she didn't find anything unusual about it.
"Feng Fei, how long has it been since you advanced to level ten?"
"Two years."
Feng Fei replied, "My innate soul power was level five, and I reached level ten when I was nine.
However, without a soul ring, I couldn't level up anymore."
Feng Fei had a fairly good understanding of the basic knowledge of soul masters, all of which Feng Li'er had taught her when she was alive.
It was just a pity that after Feng Li'er was banished to the Cold Palace, she couldn't help her obtain a soul ring.
'Level five innate soul power!'
In Xuan Yuan Qing Li's eyes, this talent was only passable, far from being considered genius.
At least level six or seven innate soul power was needed to qualify as genius.
But that was normal. If she were truly a cultivation genius, why would the Wind Sword Sect let Feng Li'er take her away?
Even without the Wind Sword Martial Soul, and even if she wasn't allowed to be included in the direct lineage, couldn't they at least cultivate her to be a wife for a direct disciple?
However, what puzzled him was, how could Feng Fei's Sand Martial Soul suppress her mother's Wind Sword Martial Soul?
It's generally understood that children inherit their mother's martial soul, usually from the stronger branch.
The Wind Sword martial soul is considered excellent, comparable to the Star Luo royal family's White Tiger martial soul.
However, Feng Fei didn't inherit her mother's Wind Sword.
This can only mean one thing: her Sand martial soul is actually quite extraordinary.
While its quality might not surpass the Wind Sword, it's certainly no worse.
As for Feng Fei's innate soul power being only level five, that doesn't prove anything.
A strong martial soul doesn't necessarily equate to strong soul master talent. Even with
the same martial soul, soul masters can have varying degrees of talent.
For example, with the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, there are top geniuses like Tang Hao, some ordinary geniuses, but many more are just average soul masters who can't be considered geniuses at all.
If every Clear Sky Hammer martial soul possessed the potential to become a Title Douluo, the Douluo Continent would have long been renamed the Clear Sky Continent.
Xuan Yuan Qingli said, "After a few days, once we're far from Heaven Dou City, I'll get you a spirit ring first."
Feng Fei was delighted, then shook her head, "What about you? I'll get you one first, and then I'll get mine."
Xuan Yuan Qingli said, "I'll get you one first, and then you can help me get mine.
The spirit ring you need should be of a lower age, making it easier to hunt spirit beasts."
"Okay!"
Feng Fei nodded in agreement.
