Chapter 2193 Bloodline Tes

“How is this possible?” Feng Tianyun was speechless.

Even he did not have the strength to deal with Feng Xu and the others. In fact, even the God Kings of the clan would face some difficulty trying to subdue such a powerful lineup of cultivators…

Yet, how long did Feng Jiuge take to pull it off?

Five minutes?

In less than five minutes, all nine of them were already pummeled enough to fear Feng Jiuge and run away from him so desperately…

Was there not something very wrong here?

Feng Danqing was similarly bewildered by the sight before him.

Subconsciously, he had already decided that Feng Jiuge would suffer a tragic defeat in the trial. Yet, events had not unfolded as he expected. Looking at the dueling ring, it was Feng Jiuge’s opponents who were running away from him as if he was the devil.

“All of you, squat down on the floor, hold your heads, and declare that you have lost the duel!”

“We have lost the duel…”

The trembling Feng Xu, Feng Jiang, and the others immediately did as they were told. Their faces had been punched so badly that one could hardly tell them apart.

“That’s more like it!” Feng Jiuge nodded in satisfaction.

After that, he leaped out of the dueling ring and walked over to Zhang Xuan’s side before bowing deeply. “Teacher, I have managed to clear the trial…”

Words could not begin to describe how just much he respected his teacher at that moment.

Through his teacher’s impartation, he had been able to easily predict where the next attacks would come from. Not only so, he had even managed to figure out the weaknesses of the formation!

By exploiting the weaknesses of his opponent, he had defeated them easily, just as his teacher had told him.

Before Zhang Xuan could respond, a voice suddenly echoed from afar. “Congratulations, Jiuge, for clearing the Nine Phoenix Stellar Formation. I welcome you back to our clan!”

Following that, First Elder Feng Danqing and Second Elder Feng Tianyun walked over.

Even though they had no idea what had caused Feng Jiuge to change so much, there was no denying that he had indeed become strong.

“First Elder, Second Elder!” Feng Jiuge quickly clasped his fist to greet the two elders.

The two elders nodded in response to Feng Jiuge’s greeting before turning his gaze to Zhang Xuan.

“I heard that you are a descendant of our clan,” Feng Danqing said.

Zhang Xuan clasped his fist and replied, “Yes, I am Feng Xuan.”

“Good. Let’s test your bloodline together with Jiuge’s. As long as you are able to reach the level of purity expected of an external member, I’ll accord you the title and privileges of a core member,” Feng Danqing said.

Based on what they had heard so far, the changes in Feng Jiuge likely had something to do with Zhang Xuan. Furthermore, the strength that he had displayed thus far was definitely not beneath that of Feng Jiuge’s.

As long as the other party possessed the bloodline of their clan, it would be foolish for them not to nurture such a talent.

After saying those words, the First Elder flicked his wrist and took out a round stone.

“We call this artifact the Phoenix Resonance Stone. It’s even more accurate than the Blood Reservoir in testing out one’s bloodline,” Feng Danqing explained. “If a person possessing the bloodline of the Inferno Phoenix Clan drip their blood on the stone, a fire phoenix will surface on it. The clearer the phoenix, the purer one’s bloodline!”

“I understand.” Feng Jiuge nodded as he took the Phoenix Resonance Stone from the First Elder’s hand.

In the previous test, it had been found that his bloodline had completely vanished. Due to that, he had been expelled from the clan.

He could not help but feel a little apprehensive as to what was going to happen.

He took a deep breath to calm himself before nicking his finger and dripping a droplet of blood on the Phoenix Resonance Stone.

Weng!

The brilliant call of a fire phoenix echoed in the air. The outline of a fire phoenix swiftly formed on the stone before becoming clearer and clearer. Despite its miniature size, one could see its wings fluttering as it flew around the surface of the stone. It appeared so lifelike that it seemed as if it would soar out into the sky at any moment.

“Formation of the Phoenix, Convergence of Flames… The purity of your bloodline has reached the eighth level. Not only did you regain your bloodline, it has become even purer than before!” Feng Danqing was shocked.

All in all, there were ten levels to the bloodline of the Inferno Phoenix Clan. Over the years, their bloodline had become sparser and sparser, such that those who could reach the third level were already eligible to be considered a part of the core lineage.

As for the side family, due to frequent intermarriage with humans and other beasts, there were some of them who would struggle to even trigger the Phoenix Resonance Stone.

Feng Jiuge’s bloodline had been tested for the first time shortly after his birth, and it had been found that the purity of his bloodline was at the sixth level. That was more than enough to put him at the forefront of the clan.

Who could have known that he would overcome his previous record, reaching the frightening eighth level?

With such a level of purity, he was practically set to become a God King in the future!

“This…” Feng Jiuge was also a little taken aback by the results.

His bloodline had become even purer after he regained it.

He subconsciously turned to look at his teacher once more, and if it was possible to materialize his emotions, Zhang Xuan would have been drowning in an ocean of admiration.

He knew right away that it was the doing of his teacher. There was no way his bloodline could have become purer for no reason.

To achieve what was thought impossible, it seemed like his teacher’s capability had really reached an unfathomable level.

Feng Danqing turned to Zhang Xuan and said, “It’s your turn.”

To be honest, he was quite curious about how this ‘Feng Xuan’ would do in the bloodline test.

Without the support and backing of the clan, he had still become a high-tier Celestial God at such a young age. Could his bloodline possibly be even purer than Feng Jiuge’s?

Zhang Xuan took the stone from Feng Danqing’s hands, but he did not prick his finger to conduct the bloodline test right away. Instead, he turned his attention to something else…

Weng!

The disguise amulet that Luo Ruoxin had given him began to work its wonders, turning his bloodline into that of the Inferno Phoenix Clan’s.

Only after that was done did he take out the God King Sword and create a small incision at the tip of his finger.

He had made sure to conceal the God King Sword to make it appear no different from any other sword so as to avoid stirring a commotion. Unless he wielded it in battle, even a God King would be unable to tell the difference.

A droplet of blood fell onto the Phoenix Resonance Stone.

Nothing.

Nothing happened at all. There was no fire phoenix or anything else appearing.

It appeared that Zhang Xuan’s blood was completely ineffective.

“Are you sure you are from our clan?” Feng Danqing asked with a frown.

Feng Tianyun was also confused.

Unless a person was absolutely certain that they were from the Inferno Phoenix Clan, they would not have dared to walk right into their home turf, claiming to be one of them!

Zhang Xuan was dumbstruck as well. If one could peer into his mind, one would probably see a mountain of question marks piled up.

Could it be that the Inferno Phoenix Clan’s bloodline was too advanced for the disguise amulet that Luo Ruoxin had given him to emulate?

“Hahaha, this sure is weird, isn’t it? Should I try again?”

If he could not get the Inferno Phoenix Clan to recognize him, he would not be able to enter Spirit God Palace. If he could not enter Spirit God Palace, how was he supposed to find Luo Ruoxin?

“You can only test your bloodline once…”

Halfway through Feng Danqing’s words, the stone in Zhang Xuan’s hand suddenly flickered a little as a brilliant phoenix abruptly surfaced.

It was not shrouded in flames, and it was unable to soar freely. Instead, it seemed to be swimming weakly on the surface of the stone…

“The Flash of a Phoenix, A Deficiency in Vigor… This is the mark of a third level bloodline. You barely qualify as a core member!” Feng Danqing announced as he patted his chest in relief.

While it was not as amazing as they had hoped, a third level bloodline was decent. After all, Feng Danqing himself only had a fourth level bloodline.

“Congratulations, Feng Xuan, for having returned to our clan. From today onward, you shall be a member of our core lineage, and you’ll be entitled to all the privileges of a core member!” Feng Tianyun proclaimed loudly.

Then, he passed a token over to Zhang Xuan and said, “This is the token that represents your identity. With it, you can receive stipends and cultivation technique manuals from the clan every month!”

“Thank you!” Zhang Xuan accepted the token.

While the results were not as amazing as when he had disguised himself as Luo Tianya, it was perfect for him. The disguise amulet might have sensed his inherently low profile and humble disposition, so it had adjusted itself accordingly so that the results were just enough for him to join the Inferno Phoenix Clan.

In any case, all that mattered was that he was finally there. Hu!

In this moment of celebration, no one noticed that the fire phoenix, which was soaring freely around the stone, had flown to the bottom of the stone and suddenly plummeted from the sky, crashing to the ground.

It had abruptly lost all its strength.

At the same time, the old ancestor of the Fire Phoenix Clan, the Fire Feather Conferred God King, suddenly opened his eyes.
