A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

The cultivation system in this Desolate Era world is divided into three paths.

It encompasses the paths of gods and demons, the path of Qi cultivation, and the path of mental strength.

The path of gods and demons involves physical cultivation, where one cultivates divine power and can transform chaotic power into divine power to strengthen the divine body; while the path of qi cultivation involves cultivating immortal power and following the path of the golden core, but it is completely different from the golden core and nascent soul system in the tale of a mortal cultivating immortality.

As for the path of mental strength, it cultivates the world, the world within one's own heart. The stronger one's mental strength, the more powerful and real one's inner world becomes.

Leaving aside the most mysterious path of mental power, the path of divine and demonic body refinement and the path of golden core cultivation actually overlap and can be combined.

The cultivation realms of these two paths also correspond, from low to high as follows: Acquired Being, Innate Being, Purple Mansion Cultivator, Myriad Manifestations True Person, Primordial Spirit Daoist, Returning to Emptiness Earth Immortal, Heavenly God Heavenly Immortal, True God True Immortal, Ancestral God Ancestral Immortal, World Realm, Life and Death Dao Lord, Eternal Emperor, Supreme, Controller!

“Although I haven’t truly entered the cultivation world, I’m not entirely ignorant of its rules,” Yunhua said directly. “Don’t worry, I won’t take your things for nothing. If your Ji family faces any difficulties in the future, I can promise to help you three times.”

"With Brother Yun's promise, I can rest assured!" Ji Yichuan nodded.

He had witnessed Yunhua's birth, and he knew that this was a god-demon born of heaven and earth. Moreover, a god-demon born with auspicious omens wouldn't deceive him like this. He still believed what Yunhua said.

"Brother Hei!" Ji Yichuan suddenly shouted to the outside.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with black hair walked in. His eyes gleamed with a red light, and his eyes were long and narrow, making him look like a venomous snake.

"So this is the demon race of this world!?" Yunhua also sized up the black-haired middle-aged man in front of him.

In this world, wild beasts can cultivate as long as they develop intelligence. Only after cultivating to the innate realm can they possess the ability to transform and take on different forms.

Of course, some demon races are special. They contain the bloodline of innate gods and demons, and their transformation standards are higher. They may need to reach the realms of Purple Mansion, Myriad Manifestations, or even Heavenly Gods and Heavenly Immortals to transform.

However, Yunhua, who was born a god or demon, does not fall into this category.

He himself was only at the peak of the innate state, yet he was already able to take human form.

However, if he were to unite with the demon race of this world and give birth to a descendant with the bloodline of the phoenix, this descendant might need to reach the level of the Primordial Spirit Realm or even the Returning Void Earth Immortal Realm before he could take human form.

At this moment, the middle-aged man with black hair smiled slightly at Ji Yichuan, then looked at Yun Hua: "Yichuan, who is he?"

His gaze toward Yunhua held a mixture of wariness, shock, and excitement.

He was wary because he sensed a threat; this childlike person was stronger than him. But he was shocked by the person's aura. He naturally felt that his serpentine, cold aura was completely purified the moment he approached the other person, and a pure, warm yang energy emanated from him.

"What level of strength does he have now? And this pure yang warmth... If he's willing to help me, I can break through very quickly!" The black snake was quite excited at the thought.

Ji Yichuan said, "This Yunhua is a distinguished guest of my household, a phoenix born of nature."

"Ah, Phoenix!" The black snake suddenly understood what its previous feeling was.

It turned out that the other party was the most noble god and demon—the phoenix.

Ji Yichuan continued, "Brother Yun will be staying at our residence from now on. Please inform him along the way and also find two more maids to come over."

"I understand!" Black Snake nodded.

"I'd also trouble you to go to the library and fetch the 'Red Bright Nine Heavens Map,' Brother Yun would like to see it," Ji Yichuan said.

"The Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram?" The black-haired middle-aged man was taken aback, then nodded, and then with a "whoosh," he vanished into thin air.

Yunhua glanced at Ji Yichuan, secretly calculating in her heart: "Ji Yichuan has really made a fortune in this deal."

Although the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" is hailed as the number one divine and demonic body-refining technique, it is actually the most widely spread body-refining technique. Almost every slightly larger power has the first volume of the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram," which is also the least valuable volume.

Ji Yichuan traded this scroll for Yunhua's promise to help him three times, so he naturally made a huge profit.

Chapter 937 Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram

However, Yunhua didn't care. With his level of cultivation, completing these three attacks would be too easy. Moreover, his immediate priority was to familiarize himself with the cultivation system of this world.

Although he himself was of extremely high cultivation level, he did not understand the cultivation system of this world very well. He needed the cultivation methods of this world to guide him into cultivation and to deeply understand the mysteries of this cultivation system.

"call!"

A moment later, a gentle breeze appeared out of nowhere in the hall, and the black snake reappeared, laughing, "The complete cultivation method of the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram' is here."

“Brother Black!!” Ji Yichuan looked at the black snake.

The black snake nodded and then disappeared.

“Brother Yun has only been born recently. Although he is fluent in language, I imagine he doesn’t know much about our human writing system. If you don’t mind, I’d be happy to explain it to you!” Ji Yichuan said.

"Then thank you very much, Brother Ji!" Yunhua naturally wouldn't object.

Although he developed sentience early, he didn't learn much; he mostly gleaned knowledge from conversations among treasure hunters. He genuinely didn't recognize the world's written language, making him essentially illiterate and requiring someone to teach him step by step.

Since Ji Yichuan had nothing else to do, he immediately began explaining the cultivation technique to Yunhua word by word, and also taught him to read along the way.

But the more Ji Yichuan taught, the more shocked he became.

Because no matter what he says, the other party not only accepts and understands it immediately, but also draws inferences from it, and sometimes even asks questions that he cannot explain.

Is this the innate talent of gods and demons born from heaven and earth? It's too powerful!!

Compared to this god and demon, Ji Yichuan felt that his proud sons were all useless. Ji Family Western Mansion.

Ji Yichuan left the side hall he had arranged for Yunhua. He was still somewhat doubtful about life. Then he went to the training ground and came to his wife and children.

"Yichuan, I heard you brought a phoenix back?" Ji Yichuan's wife, Yuchi Xue, immediately came to greet him.

Ji Ning, who was practicing his martial arts nearby, also showed a hint of surprise when he heard the word "phoenix." He slowed down his movements, wanting to hear about the phoenix.

Ji Ningke is someone who retains memories of his past life. In his previous life, the "phoenix" was a very famous auspicious bird in legends, and there are many legends related to the phoenix.

Since his reincarnation, he has seen many monsters, but he has never seen a divine beast like the "phoenix".

Ji Yichuan nodded and exclaimed, "As expected of a primordial god-demon born from heaven and earth, its talent is truly terrifying."

"He understands things instantly, and he grasps them perfectly. I have never seen such a being before. The principles that ordinary cultivators may need a lifetime to comprehend are like instincts to him, as if he were born with them."

"Is it really that amazing?" Yu Chixue exclaimed in surprise.

Then she immediately asked, "I heard you gave him the entire 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram'? How is his aptitude for cultivation? How does he compare to Ning'er?"

As a mother, Yu Chixue naturally hoped that her son would be the best in his class.

Moreover, Ji Ning's aptitude for cultivating the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" was indeed something Yu Chixue had never seen before; it was the kind of aptitude that belonged to legend.

Ji Yichuan shook his head and said, "Ning'er is incomparable to him at all. He was originally a primordial god and demon, and now that he has obtained the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, he has begun to rebuild his divine body with the power of the Taiyin and Taiyang. I suppose that kind of fluctuation will appear in a few days."

Those gods and demons born innately possess a foundation far superior to those born later in life, and since the other party is cultivating again, there is naturally nothing that can be compared to them.

"Reforging the divine body? So he's going to use the water and fire power of the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram' to reforge his divine body?" Ji Ning became more and more excited as he thought about it. He wanted to sneak over and take a look, maybe he could see the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram' advancing, which might also benefit his own cultivation.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after Ji Yichuan left, Yunhua completely immersed herself in cultivation.

He intends to use the power of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram to rebuild his divine body.

This is also an important step in comprehending the cultivation system of this world. His innate Phoenix Divine Body is certainly no weaker than the divine body cultivated by the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, and may even be stronger.

However, his own Phoenix Divine Body only reached the Innate Realm level and had no further development; because he was conceived in an inappropriate place when he was born, he was considered "incomplete" from birth.

Therefore, Yunhua can only use the divine body of the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" to supplement it; in the future, when his realm improves, he will naturally be able to create his own Phoenix Divine Body.

As Yunhua continued her cultivation, strands of golden and silver starlight gradually began to gather around her.

The blazing golden light and the icy silver light swirled around Yunhua, eventually transforming into two stars that revolved endlessly around her.

"The Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram cultivates the power of Yin and the power of Yang. This feeling is like taking me back to the time when I used the Yin True Scripture and the Yang True Scripture to accelerate the transformation of my chaotic body." Yun Hua carefully sensed the two supreme stars in the infinitely distant place—Yin and Yang.

In this world, many divine and demonic body-refining methods require the use of fire, thunder, and gale-force winds for cultivation; however, the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" has been sensing the two supreme stars of this world from the very beginning—the Moon and the Sun—drawing the power of the Moon and the Sun for cultivation.

The first step in cultivation is to condense the absorbed Yin and Yang energy into one's body, forming Yin and Yang divine patterns.

Now, Yunhua is also taking this step.

The power of Yin and Yang began to manifest on his body little by little, transforming into Yin and Yang divine runes, which were imprinted on his body.

At the same time, the phoenix divine power within his body rapidly began to burn—

"Boom!!"

Amidst raging flames, he involuntarily transformed back into the form of a phoenix, his entire body ablaze, flames soaring into the sky.

To rebuild his divine body, he naturally needed to gradually erase his original body. His phoenix divine body was fire-oriented, so erasing his original divine body would involve burning, completely incinerating all his divine power.

At this moment, as the fire burned, Yunhua's aura began to decrease rapidly, gradually declining from the previous state of perfect innate realm to the late stage, middle stage, early stage, and then suddenly breaking through the innate realm.

"That's it!!" In that instant, everyone in the entire mansion saw the flames soaring into the sky.

Facing the firelight, they did not feel the heat, but rather a warmth, as if the flames contained a rich life force.

"The phoenix truly lives up to its name; the commotion it caused in rebuilding its divine body was immense," Ji Yichuan exclaimed in amazement.

"The life force in those flames is... such a powerful feeling." Yu Chixue also looked over there in shock. The flames burned and shot straight into the sky, and even the horizon was illuminated by the glow of the fire.

“His divine body is probably no weaker than that of the ‘Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram,’ yet he is willing to give up everything he was born with. His courage is greater than I imagined!” The more Ji Yichuan looked, the more shocked he became.

At the same time—"Whoosh!!"

A wave of heat swept over him, and small flames gathered around him, eventually forming huge, crimson fiery feathers that covered Yunhua's body.

Chapter 938 Emerging from Seclusion

Immediately afterwards, more watery light gathered and formed huge feathers, which also covered Yunhua's body.

The original Phoenix Divine Power was burning, but the Crimson Bright Divine Power belonging to the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" was gathering. When Yun Hua's aura decreased to the Acquired Realm, his aura did not change much.

The flames of the Phoenix Divine Power continued to burn, but for every bit of divine power burned, the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" could replenish it. Therefore, his aura stabilized at the Acquired Realm.

As time passed, the towering flames burned for three whole days before finally going out.

At this moment, Yunhua no longer possessed the Phoenix Divine Power; instead, it was replaced by the power of Yin and the power of Yang.

These two forces permeated every part of his body, from his skin and flesh to his feathers, internal organs, and bones; his entire body was filled with the rich power of Yin and Yang.

"The power of Yin and Yang is sufficient; it's time to break through to the Innate Realm!" Once Yun Hua made up her mind, the power of Yin and Yang smoothly merged together.

The biggest obstacle for ordinary people to cultivate the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" is their insufficient understanding of Yin and Yang, making it impossible for them to integrate them; but this obstacle does not exist for Yunhua at all.

His cultivation level was high enough that he easily fused the power of Yin and the power of Yang.

The instant the power of the moon and the sun merged—"Boom!!"

The two celestial bodies, Taiyin and Taiyang, seemed to sense something and suddenly sent down a wisp of solar true fire and Taiyin true water. These two powers traversed countless times and appeared beside Yunhua.

At the same time, he also activated the forces of water and fire in the world.

"Boom!" A huge flame and water flow suddenly appeared around Yunhua. In the endless flames, one could vaguely see the phantom of a three-legged golden crow, and in the water flow, the phantom of a moon rabbit.

The golden crow and the moon rabbit circled around Yunhua.

However, Yunhua's control was terrifying. He kept all the water and fire around himself, and even the house he lived in was not affected.

At this moment, Yunhua was also quietly observing the changes within herself.

The true fire of the sun descended from the sun star, and the true water of the moon descended from the moon star, together cleansing his physical body.

He could feel every inch of his flesh and blood, every bone in his body, being reconstructed by the power of the true fire of the sun and the true water of the moon.

After a long time, the true fire of the sun and the true water of the moon that descended from the sun and moon stars were completely absorbed by his body. At this moment, he completely rebuilt his divine body.

"Boom!!"

The true fire of the sun and the true water of the moon dissipated, and even the water and fire that had condensed together in the void dissipated as well, revealing Yunhua's true form as a phoenix.

At this moment, his phoenix form also underwent a slight change. His originally crimson feathers gradually changed, with a wisp of gold and silver wrapping around them, causing his originally fiery aura to transform into a chaotic aura.

“My divine body has become a bit weaker than before. The Crimson Brightness Divine Body I cultivated with the Crimson Brightness Nine Heavens Diagram is indeed a bit weaker than my original Phoenix Divine Body… However, the Crimson Brightness Nine Heavens Diagram is not without its merits.” Yun Hua pondered for a while, then stretched out his right hand, with water and fire condensing in his palm.

"Wow!!"

With two clear cries, a golden fire phoenix and a silver ice phoenix flew out from his palm and circled around him.

"This power to control water and fire is quite impressive." Yun Hua waved his hand casually, quickly dispersing the two golden and silver ice and fire phoenixes.

"Never mind, I'll continue cultivating. What I need to do next is to cultivate back to the peak of the Innate Realm. At the speed at which I absorb Yin and Yang, it will only take me half a month. I'll stay here and continue cultivating little by little during this half month," Yunhua thought to himself.

This past two weeks can be considered his "weak period," because he was previously at the peak of the Innate Realm, but now he is only at the early stage of the Innate Realm. He needs half a month to cultivate the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" and absorb the power of the Yin and Yang to recover.

Time passes day by day.

Yunhua never went out. He stayed in the room that Ji Yichuan had arranged for him to cultivate. Every day, a massive amount of Yin and Yang energy descended from the void and merged into Yunhua's body, causing his divine body to grow continuously.

At first, Ji Yichuan and Ji Ning were a little curious, but as time went on, they began to act as if Yun Hua didn't exist.

It wasn't until half a month later that he came out of his house again.

"Where is Ji Yichuan?" Yunhua looked outside the house and asked the maid that Ji Yichuan had arranged.
