At the current moment, all the phoenix that could see into the Phoenix cauldron looked confused as they saw the rise of the power that was meant for Yun Yurou be stopped by her, and it was only then did all those that had forgotten about Xiao''s existence focus him, some had an incredulous expression as they saw a human surviving within the cauldron, though they can''t tell his cultivation, in the current era humans were truly looked down and seeing one within their holynd some of them felt their rage burn


    But sadly for them, they weren''t even able to hold onto their rage as they saw Yun Yurou moving towards Xiao, she stood before his nked figure, where even his figure could only be described as blurry, seeing it a huge amount of pain-filled Yun Yurou''s eyes, soon her eyes turned serious as conviction burned within her ming eyes


    ''Are you sure you chose him?''


    And just as Yun Yurou had made her decision the very familiar yet faint voice of the phoenix that sent her here was heard within her mind, hearing itplex emotions filled Yun Yurou''s eyes, as she had awakened her bloodline and inheritance she had gotten a good idea of who the phoenix was, in a nutshell, the reason they were here because of it but the only reason she could awaken was also due to the very same phoenix


    In the end, she knew that she couldn''t be petty for being given power but that didn''t mean that she would change her decision, Yun Yurou understood the deeper meaning of what the Phoenix asked her, all phoenixes be it male or female will only has a single partner their whole life, Phoenixes give extreme importance to purity


    Hence they were extremely picky and careful when they chose their mate, some even remaining single their whole life, all of the phoenixes follow thisw to the end, be it a fire, ice, and even a death phoenix, and this was more important for fire phoenixes, whose me''s were the beginning of purity, once she chose Xiao there was no going back for Yun Yurou, especially when she''s ning on passing her mark to him


    ''I''m sure''


    Yun Yurou replied with utmost conviction to her tone and will, nothing within the vast world of cultivation will change her will, just like her me her feelings for Xiao was burning deeper and fiercer than anything and it will only grow stronger with time, even if there are other things that arose her mes she''s sure that she only wanted Xiao to be the one embracing her me


    ''I see.....then I will give you my luck, the boy seems to be surrounded by the fate of the heavenly tree itself, he seems to have a destiny that is far beyond anything I have ever seen if you want to stay beside his side you would need strength''


    Hearing the Phoenixes words Yun Yurou''s eyes narrowed before memories of the past and some which she herself could not understand shed through her mind and when they did she could feel her desire burning harder, she was sure...sure that even if a millennium passed she would never regret the choice she made today


    ''Good, then go forth''


    These were the final words Yun Yurou heard before she focused on Xiao, soon the power she held back started to flow, her me, her pride, and her power started to flow out of her surrounding Xiao with it, Yun Yurou willed something from deep within her and brought it out, and as she willed it a beautiful phoenix-like me burning deep with Yun Yurou''s feelings surged out


    All the experienced phoenixes who were watching it had their mouths and eyes opened for the sheer shock at what Yun Yurou was about to attempt, as experienced as they were, they clearly understood what Yun Yurou was building towards and all that understood Yun Yuru''s worth waspletely against it


    "We must stop it!"


    A phoenix surged out with his deration and the rest epted his will but sadly for him, he heard another voice that shut him off


    "That''s impossible"


    The one who spoke was a woman with bright red hair and eyes, her eyes were murky and filed with experience, just her presence seemed to fill the world with suffocation, not even a hint of Qi could be felt from her, but all that saw her quickly kneeled and bowed as they spoke


    "We greet the ancestral elder!"


    The woman called the ancestral elder just nodded her head indifferently as she focused on what Yun Yurou was attempting, truthfully she too was against it, just as she said she nor anybody else could stop what Yun Yurou was attempting, she opened her mouth as she spoke


    "The power she earned was from her will, it was the reward heavens gifted her after she passed her trail, the will of what she could do with it is up to her and you all should know that it''s impossible to stop the marking ceremony"


    Bitterness filled the heart of all as they heard the ancestral elder''s words, they could only hold their disagreement within their heart as they watched Yun Yurou slowly and gently pass her mark towards Xiao, who by now only had a sliver of his consciousness within him, barely holding him in spot


    He couldn''t tell when or how but at some point the heat that threatened to burn him became a bit gentle as they surrounded him in protection, the pain that filled his body too calmed down, and just as a small part of his senses wasing back something broke past his soul barrier as it rapidly dissappear deep into his soul


    Xiao didn''t even have the time to even know what it was before a searing and humongous power started flooding his body, it was soft, warm, and affectionate, but it was just the beginning as one of the 11 mes within his soul scape trembled, among the 11 mes that surrounded him only one of them had a distinct color


    It being the ck one that had just regained its power, meanwhile, the rest werepletely colorless but now one more awakened, as it zed forth with purple color burning bright and powerful, the me reacted as if it had felt something as it sted forth with fevered emotion greedily taking in the power that was given to it, right now its color was pale purple, seemingly struggling to be whole


    Xiao didn''t understand what or why everything was happening but for now, he decided to go with the flow and think about it allter, kind, unique, and warming me elements started to surround him, a huge part of its power was supplied to his me scape. On the outside, the rebirth me under Yun Yurou''smand moved as they started the rebirth of Xiao


    The very mes that were the pride of the phoenixes were being used to bring about rebirth on Xiao after he had taken in Yun Yurou''s mark, soon a powerful wave sted forth, the rebirth mes surged forth again but now it was different, now they were moving on their own desire to bring about rebirth


    Even Yun Yurou was surprised, it was as if the rebirth mes was honored to be sacrificed for Xiao, sadly it was notpletely true as deep within Xiao''s me scape the purple me controlled the rebirth mes like a godmanding its worshippers, it was lofty and prideful,manding respect


    And soon changes started taking ce...
