After his embarrassing situation with Xiao Lingxi. He quickly bypassed him and saluted the others who had greeted him happily as well.
After seeing his teacher, Xiao Che's drowsiness flew, he became extremely excited, his teacher completely changed his bleak life, so he cherished him very much!
Within Xiao Clan, after thinking deeply about the pros and cons, Lionel gambled his luck with Xiao Lingxi, he found the opportunity and threw a drop of his blood into her mouth without anyone noticing, even her.
Lionel had encased the drop of blood with his profound strength before that and wouldn't let it explode and take effect until he left the clan!
Then he would find out if he could even subdue the Ancestral Goddess incarnate into his affiliation, it would be a huge profit in the long run, but the most important thing was having an extra beautiful girl in his harem!
After that, Lionel did not long to stay in the Xiao clan, despite all their attempts to keep him and was determined to leave.
After moving away from floating cloud city, Lionel canceled out his profound strength that enveloped the droplet of blood inside Xiao Lingxi's stomach, then felt a bond form successfully and without any problems.
(That's cool! I'll be back later to send her to my heaven!)
Lionel continued flying towards his next target in a happy mood.
———
In the Xiao Clan, exactly in the kitchen of Clan Elder Xiao Li's residence, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground and breaking!
On the ground, there are some clay pots broken on the ground, and next to her was Xiao Lingxi who was panting heavily, she was sweating from everywhere, her entire being seemed to tremble as if two giant beasts were fighting inside her body, but it didn't last long The beast inside the drop of blood quickly emerged victorious On the currently weak Ancestral Goddess soul!
Xiao Lingxi's breathing became stable, and she began to experience the benefits of the affiliation function.
"Strange, why did my mind become so full of thoughts about Xiao Che's teacher? Why do I feel a bond with him!"
She didn't know it now, but the most important characteristic of the affiliation function is to cut all the member's previous feelings and transfer them to the master.
Slowly but steadily, her feelings towards Xiao Che began to unknowingly withdraw from her and transform towards a tall figure whose image began to form and carve in the depths of her soul!
———
Lionel has arrived over a small village in the middle of a dense forest!
Even with the help of the system map, Lionel found the village with difficulty, there were plenty of villages scattered in the Ten Thousand Monster Mountain Range, after all, if he had marked it as Feng Village on the map he wouldn't have been able to find it in such a short time.
Lionel slowly descended into the middle of the village, the village wasn't very big only about a cubic kilometer the houses were traditional with an air of authenticity and ancient roots, he could imagine a powerful clan that was here once reduced to a village state!
Some clan men and women were present when Lionel descended from the sky, a red-haired man tied in a short tail, quickly came rushing towards Lionel.
"Respected Senior, welcome to our humble village, what does your Excellency need?"
Clan Chief Feng Baichuan was trembling but he maintained his composure and spoke in a respectful manner, his and his village's fate would depend on the mood of this high-ranking expert next!
"Don't panic! I don't have any ill intent towards you, well it looks like you are the leader of this village! What's your name?"
"Feng Baichuan, I am indeed the village chief, my esteemed master."
The village chief's expression softened a bit after hearing that the man did not come with ill intentions.
In the back was a woman carrying twin children, both of whom seemed to be nine years old, who seemed to be the poor man's family in front of him.
Lionel looked at the foreheads of all of them, they all possessed the same dark fire flame mark, he thought for a bit and then spoke.
"I was passing by and I felt a rich energy in this area, and I also felt a strong curse."
"Does that mark on your foreheads and cultivation that does not exceed the Elementary Profound Realm has some sort of connection with the curse energy I am feeling?"
Feng Baichuan seemed to hesitate for a moment, but his hesitation did not last long, he quickly started telling Lionel how their ancestor had caused the wrath of the Phoenix Divine Spirit by accidentally burning 30,000 villagers to ashes in a fight against his enemy, that crime was gruesome and unforgivable in the eyes of the Phoenix, So the divine bird released its ruling, but the ruling was not on their ancestor alone, but all their ancestors and lineages, and then Cursed them all to never go beyond the level of the beginner.
This fact, Lionel was know it but he forgot many details or was not mentioned in the novel, it was all told to him by Feng Baichuan in detail.
"Okay I get it, thanks for the clarification, I think I can help if you let me into the phoenix trials! I can promise to do everything I can to free you from the curse."
Lionel was speaking with a gentle smile but in his mind, he was plotting out how to make this entire clan come under his power, it was very simple, he just had to remove the curse on them.
He doesn't know why Yun Che is such a fool in the original story, he was wasting so many resources and advantages that his mother planet provided him, just like this clan that needs a little care to become a great power thanks to their bloodline, they will help him a lot in his future conquests!
"Really...Senior, are you going to do that?"
"If you save us from this curse, I don't know what we can do for this great good."
Feng Baichuan, his family, and all the villagers who came out of their homes fell prostrate to the ground, this was what they could offer Lionel, the utmost gratitude and reverence.
And that was exactly what Lionel wanted so he didn't stop them from expressing their gratitude in this way, only maintaining a smile as he advanced toward the phoenix trials room behind the village.
Feng Baichuan hurriedly got up and followed Lionel to show him the way.
Lionel entered a huge hall through a large golden gate opened by Feng Baichuan, he advanced to the trials gate at the end of the hall and entered.
...
The place was dark, but before he could think of anything else, crimson jewels opened above his head, those jewels were eyes as sharp as the eyes of a bird. Lionel heard a feminine voice filled with majesty and strength.
{Welcome to the phoenix trials}
{The Human}
{I am a soul fragment left by the Divine Phoenix here}
{But I have a will and an independent existence}
{The Human... Are you ready for the first challenge?}
"Hmm, I had the honor of knowing a divine bird that is famous in all dimensions."
"Of course I'm ready, I'm ready, please show me what you have"
After hearing Lionel's first sentence, the Phoenix Soul was confused, but it didn't continue to think about it.
{first challenge}
{The Demon Of Purgatory}
The ground started shaking under Lionel's feet and magma emerged from the cracks, Lionel didn't care about this kind of weak heat, the hottest flames in all of the Primal Chaos couldn't hurt him anyway.
A huge 40-meter long magma demon appeared, whose aura was at the peak of the tenth level of Sovereignty just like Lionel.
"Roar !!!"
The magma beast attacked Lionel with all his might, Lionel used his body only to fight with this beast, without his profound strength, and without his spiritual power without his fiery aura too, only with his body alone, for the first time he felt what's called battle enthusiasm, the demon in front of him was rivaling him in strength after Lionel suppressed himself!
Booom
Booom
Booom
There were explosions here and there and magma shot out everywhere, it was a sight like the end of the world.
The heat didn't affect Lionel so Lionel quickly crushed him into the dust of loose energy after destroying his core with the famous Iron Fist Strike (without Haki).
{second challenge}
{The Phoenix Arrows}
Suddenly Lionel was attacked by endless arrows and surrounded him from all sides, Lionel faced it only with his body, it was strong but it didn't even cause him to scratch, of course, his clothes became just scorched rags.
The arrows kept hitting him for 30 minutes straight until it stopped completely.
{How can a mortal not be affected by my fire!}
{There is only one thing that explains this...}
{You own the inheritance of the Evil God?}
"Well that's right, I already own the Heretic God's legacy."
{Good… I've been waiting for you, heir of the Evil God, for a long time. You're the only one worthy of my inheritance. I hope you don't disappoint me in the last challenge}
{third challenge}
{heart trial}
{...}
"..."
"How can I allow a woman to kill me! Even if it's an illusion, that's not acceptable, I just stopped her from killing me and I didn't hurt it, So I succeeded right?"
{Well...you don't seem to have any malice or devious feelings toward those you care about at least, and it seems that your original sea-covered world is not this world!}
(Author comment: Well about the third challenge of the trial which is related to the Phoenix's ability to read the memories of the courts and embody them in an imaginary world. Arya showed Lionel's memories of the world of One Piece and the Blue Pole Star, She has extended the time to deceive the senses of the Phoenix Spirit. By the way, she was Makino)
"Alright… well, don't wander about in my memories, dear phoenix spirit, why don't you give me my rewards now?"
{Take three drops of original phoenix blood here.}
{And this Divine Phoenix Pill, unfortunately, does not have enough energy to enter you into the Divine Origin Realm!}
{And on this jade stone, you will find the incomplete copy of the world ode of the phoenix.}
(Tsk... what a meager inheritance)
Lionel hastily grabbed the drops of blood in the air and didn't want to immediately fuse with them.
[Ding]×3
[The host's interaction with the Original Divine Phoenix bloodline]
{...}
The phoenix spirit was very excited because its inheritor this time was the heir of the Evil God himself, but she was surprised by Lionel who stopped its precious drops of blood from entering his body.
Lionel didn't care about the angry Phoenix's eyes but looked at the Fate List instead... That was exactly what he intended to experience! If he could take the true and complete Phoenix bloodline during its peak period, then the path of divinity would become paved before him!

[The Host can take the fate of two abilities from the list.]
"..."
"Hahahahahaha treasure! This world is a true treasure, divine grade everywhere!"
{...}
Lionel looked at the three drops in his hands, thinking to himself.
(Doesn't this mean that I can take whatever is on this list from the fate of two drops and an extra drop of blood will remain!)
(Aria, what price do I have to pay for the original phoenix bloodline?)
He was really worried about this matter.
[Just physical changes don't worry]
(What?! You're telling me not to worry! Will my Gender change?)
[No, but I don't guarantee that your appearance will not change]
(...)
He was speechless he didn't want his appearance to change.
(Aria, Do you has a solution to cancel this effect or at least reduce it?)
[I cannot cancel it completely but it can be reduced by consuming some of the Fate Power accumulated in the system level experience bar!]
(Okay that's enough for me, just make sure my body doesn't turn into a female body even if you unload the entire experience bar, I don't want my body to become like a little bitch!)
[Bft...Hahahahaha]
[Tsk... this is truly a waste of precious destiny energy for a simple matter like this]
(Just do it!!)
[Okay, okay don't get angry]
After that, Lionel didn't hesitate anymore and pressed the loot button of the original phoenix race, the phoenix body, the phoenix flame, and World ode of phoenix respectively in two different lists!
[Ding]×4

A powerful tornado shot out from Lionel's body as a center and the field of trials shook, even the people outside felt it.
In an instant, Lionel's consciousness turned black, his body soared into the sky and an explosion of Phoenix flame blew out, then began to grow and grow until he became a true Vermilion Phoenix bird that was 1,000 meters in size!
The phoenix raised its head and let out a shriek that the entire population of the Blue Pole Star and even some of the nearby Nether stars could hear!
"Sccreeee!!"
The sky darkened, waves rose, lightning and thunder struck towards the center of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains, and it seemed as if the end of the world was coming.
People and Cultivators were running like decapitated-head chicken from the horror of the sight! The birth of another True Phoenix enraged the heavens and the earth!
{This... This... It can't, the Divine Phoenix died a long time ago. How can it reappear!}
The scarlet eyes of a phoenix spirit would have come out of their sockets if they had already!
The men and women of the Phoenix Clan inside the courtroom could hear the trembling of heaven and earth outside and shiver in their places like terrified chicks.
But suddenly the roof of the divine hall broke and a majestic crimson bird over 1,000 meters long emerged from it, it flapped its wings and the world shook, the heat emanating from it unconsciously was like a sun descending into the world!
"Screee !!!!!"
The firebird let out another shriek that surely made billions of eardrums pierced, proof of that being the blood oozing out from the men and women of the Cursed Phoenix Clan below.
They all fainted from the pressure and heat, if the Divine Phoenix Spirit had not protected them, they would have already died!
They missed out on one of the most beautiful views in the world!
A true phoenix stood in the sky looking out over the world and its fiery wings have been driven.
His flutter of wings was paid with black clouds.
Sunlight returned to the center of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest.
Sunlight descended on the huge body of the divine bird-like a celestial pillar welcoming the arrival of a divine beast from the Era of the Gods!
