Even after the other party’s cultivation had made a breakthrough to the God King realm, it was showing no signs of stopping.

God King realm primary stage!

God King realm intermediate stage!

…

At a rate visible to the eye, the other party’s soul cultivation rose all the way to God King realm pinnacle.

It was only at this point that his swiftly rising soul cultivation finally slowed down.

“…”

Seeing this, Feng Hanqiu felt his eyes becoming a little moist. He really felt like weeping.

He had still felt so good about himself a moment ago when he successfully made a breakthrough in the midst of his battle. He had thought that his time had finally come, and he would be able to forge a legend about himself in the world.

It was with such confidence that he marched to the Inferno Phoenix Clan to challenge their number one.

But all that had happened was him suffering mental traumas one after another.

It was harder to raise one’s soul cultivation than one’s zhenqi cultivation!

Yet, the other party had made consecutive breakthroughs, climbing all the way up to God King realm pinnacle in a single shot!

Those that had gone there along with Feng Hanqiu were also traumatized beyond words.

“What a pity. I don’t have a cultivation technique that would help me make a breakthrough to God King realm for my zhenqi cultivation,” Zhang Xuan murmured.

While he had no idea why so many Conferred God Kings had suddenly started thinking about him, he was more than happy to accept their Anima of Yearning.

He had been getting worried because his soul cultivation did not seem to have grown much over the past five days, but with this breakthrough, he would not have to worry about it for a long time. It would set a strong foundation for his zhenqi cultivation to make a breakthrough to the God King realm in the near future.

“Let me give it a try…”

Zhang Xuan channeled his condensed soul energy together, and he could immediately feel the space around him rippling in response to his might.

“This is the strength that God Kings wield?” Zhang Xuan was astounded.

When he fought with God Kings, he had thought that their strength was just so-so. However, after making the breakthrough himself, he could really see the huge gap between a Celestial God and a God King.

Just the pressure he emanated from his soul would be enough to halt the zhenqi circulation of any Celestial God.

With his current strength, even without resorting to his golden page or Little Chick, he would be able to stand his ground even against a Conferred God King like Baiye Qinghong.

While he could not say that he was confident of victory, at the very least, he would be able to put up a fight.

“Once I make a breakthrough in my zhenqi cultivation, I should be able to subdue someone of Baiye Qinghong’s prowess…”

While there was supposedly a huge gap between God Kings and Conferred God Kings, through the Pathos of Heaven—a cultivation technique that surpassed the heavens—and the superior resilience of his soul, he was confident that he would be able to fight them as equals and even kill them once he became a full-fledged God King!

That would also mean that he was another step closer to Luo Ruoxin.

After exploring his newfound strength, Zhang Xuan breathed out deeply before opening his eyes once more. Rising to his feet, he was just about to check if there were any unexpected side effects from Feng Jiuge’s breakthrough when he suddenly noticed that a middle-aged man had entered the room and was staring at him with a look of agitation.

“Who are you?” Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.

“I am the clan head of the Inferno Phoenix Clan,” the middle-aged man replied.

“The clan head?” Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

Thinking back, he had met the First Elder and Second Elder thus far, but he had not met the clan head before.

“Junior Feng Xuan pays respect to the clan head!” Zhang Xuan clasped his fist and bowed.

“Ah, there’s no need for such formalities. Even though you have made a breakthrough in your soul cultivation instead of your zhenqi cultivation, you are still a God King realm cultivator. That makes us peers,” the clan head said as he quickly pulled Zhang Xuan upright.

For a clan like the Inferno Phoenix Clan where there were many experts who lived long lives, it would incredibly bothersome and ineffective to really classify one’s seniority through relations.

For this reason, as long as two members of the clan were not direct kin and were of the same cultivation realm, they could be considered peers.
