74 Chapter 74

A day had already passed since the image of the Phoenix had appeared above the world the news had already spread far and wide, some spoke that a unique treasure was born, while others speculated that a legacy word had opened, many speculations and theories were running wild, the place the phenomenon had appeared from was thoroughly ransacked but nothing was found.

Superpowers that hid in the dark even came to light as they ravaged the lands for anything that might give them an idea of what had happened but sadly again nothing was found, Xiao made sure of it, he didn't want to create problems behind him that might bite him in the ass later on, after all, Xiao had made sure to clean out all traces of proof that existed.

Many lamented the loss, as the news that a treasure had appeared and was already taken away, some had even put a bounty on any news related to it, overall the entire lower heaven was in a turmoil, meanwhile, Xiao who was one of the perpetrators of said uprise had just woken from his sleep, he rubbed his sleepy eyes as he smiled seeing Xuanyin who was laying beside him.

Xiao who finally got some rest had taken a nice nap, his little sister didn't let him go as she slept beside him, she felt a bit cold but with his flame element, it wasn't all that bad, though when he saw Xuanyin beside him he did feel a bit lonely as he missed Yurou, he had to admit that she had grown on him a bit.

But even if he wanted to he wouldn't have kept her with him, leaving aside the fact that Yurou's protector would have taken her away, Yurou wouldn't have been able to stay on the lower realm for long, the only reason that she wasn't forced to ascend when she left the legacy land was that Amber had placed a barrier to protect her.

But it wouldn't last forever, moreover, she staying here would have only dampened her talent, she needed to reach the top and display her talent to the world, only then would she shine the brightest, the only problem was him not being able to meet her for some time but it wasn't much of a problem as he could always talk with her.

Xiao closed his eyes as he felt his connection with her, he could tell that she was still asleep, due to the 'mark' both Xiao and Yurou would be able to talk to each other no matter the distance, they could tell how the other was doing too, in truth this shouldn't have being possible but Xiao could tell that his skill [Connection] had somehow combined with it and gave it more possibilities.

Speaking of skills Xiao was able to finally able to get proof of his doubts, he was able to tell that his skills were evolving! he couldn't tell it at first but as his cultivation grew, so did his skills, the increase in the quality of his soul seems to push the skills towards evolution, giving birth to new variants.

Till now Xiao hasn't looked into it but he was thankful for it, due to this Xiao could always talk and be connected to Yurou, no matter the distance, though Xiao right now has no desire to climb the world and reach the top, he did that in his first life and missed out on the beauty that was the present, in this life as head through the journey of cultivation he would enjoy the thrills of the lower heaven before he reached the next.

Plus it wasn't as if Yurou couldn't come and visit him, for normal people it wasn't possible as the resource needed to descend was humongous but for the Shrine Of Fire? it was just a drop of water in the ocean, plus he don't need to fight and scream for the Shrine to accept him as Yurou's partner.

With her mark on him, no one could oppose him, she had chosen him and once it's done it over, they nor anyone could change it, the purity that phoenixes take seriously can not be looked down upon, they would have to accept him, that was the truth, heck he was sure that they would dip into their treasures to make him a genius if he didn't have talent,

'Hehehe...I can't wait for it'

Xiao's mind was already running with ideas to drain the Shrine dry of its treasures but he quickly shook it off as he had to focus on the issue that he had at hand, right now his cultivation had reached a high level but the rest were lagging behind, his spirit, soul, and mental realms were left unpolished and this would be the right moment to polish them.

But the problem lay in how? Xiao has no idea on how to cultivate them at all, all he knows are just basic knowledge, in this case, he needed a master, someone to guide him but all the ones he thought of are too hard for the current him to reach, plus there's no guarantee that they would take him as their disciple,

'Sigh.....one step at a time'

Xiao shook his thoughts off as he heard a knock on the door as Elder Fin; swords were heard,

"Young master, we are here"

"Okay I will be right out"

Xiao responded as he patted the head of Xuanyin that was waking up, her groggy eyes quickly gained their coldness as she sat up straight and rubbed her eyes quietly, her silver hair clutched on a bit to her face as her blue eyes shined beautifully, she sat up straight she opened her arms wide, her intentions clear to him,

"Oh? your wish for me to carry you?"

Xuanyin: Nods head

"Sigh...you are becoming more and more spoiled"

Xiao shook his head but he did have an indulging smile on his face, as he moved forward and hugged her, right now they weren't that small and Xuanyin had grown up hence when she hugged him she hugged him completely, her actions were of a kola as she hugged him completely, just like an octopus her arms and legs wrapped around him.

Xiao was wrapped, he barely had space to move he lifted her as he took her towards the attached bathroom of the carriage, spatial formations were something else, coming inside he placed her on the ground and patted her back to let him go, finally after some pats she reluctantly let him go, he smiled at her, soon he took the toothbrush out as he gave the smaller one to Xunayin

She took the toothbrush from his hand as they started brushing their teeth, there was a mirror on the wall as they with synchronized movement started to brush their teeth, Xuanyin seemed to be copying Xiao as she brushed with her's, her intelligence was being used for a very weird reason, truthfully there weren't any toothbrushes in this world.

For cultivators there wasn't a thing known the as bad breath, they could keep their mouths clean and fresh but that is at a bit higher level, there also come times when a bathroom won't be required but till then people would only take food supplement pills when they are on a journey.

Of course, brushing teeth was required when one was a mortal, a powder existed with which one could clean their mouth but after Xiao was reborn he had introduced the idea of brush and paste to his mother, which was quickly a hit among the mortals, heck it was even useful for the kids of the cultivation family, who hadn't embarked on the path of cultivation yet.

Xiao even took it further by introducing different and styled brushes for common, rich, and the cultivators, the one that Xuanyin was using had the shape of a cute rabbit, in truth he didn't have to brush but it sort of had become a habit to him after living in the other world for long.
