Chapter 231: Phoenix Scripture

The three of them looked at Lin Anan’s photo while urging Jiang Xincheng to work hard and seize the opportunity. But as soon as Jiang Xinyu spoke, the other three gave her a light knock on the head as punishment for saying the wrong thing.

The family enjoyed a happy and cheerful time together. The joyful days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it went from New Year’s Eve to the ninth day of the new year. After visiting all their relatives, they could finally rest properly.

In Jiang Xinyu’s small room, Jiang Xincheng sat facing her and explained the cultivation method of the Phoenix Scripture to her.

The Phoenix Scripture was a Celestial Grade, Upper Tier Primordial Force Cultivation Method that appeared in the year 63 of the New Era. It was extremely powerful, almost reaching the level of a Divine Grade method. Its cultivation speed was incredibly fast, and the Phoenix Primordial Force it produced had very strong attack power, like a violent flame. It also had remarkable recovery abilities, making it a peerless technique that combined offense and defense.

In her previous life, as the head of the Xuanyuan Family, Jiang Xinyu went through great hardships to obtain this Primordial Force Cultivation Method. Unfortunately, after acquiring it, she discovered that the Phoenix Scripture could only be successfully cultivated by those who were virgins. She had no choice but to give it up, which was a great regret.

In this life, Jiang Xincheng wanted to make up for that regret. He wanted Jiang Xinyu to master the Phoenix Scripture, so she could protect herself and prevent the tragedies of the past from happening again.

Although Jiang Xincheng had only explained for a short while, Jiang Xinyu immediately understood how powerful this technique was. She exclaimed in shock, “Brother, what grade is this Primordial Force Cultivation Method? How come I’ve never heard of it before?”

“Celestial Grade, Upper Tier!” Jiang Xincheng said seriously.

“Ah…” Jiang Xinyu’s mouth fell open. She looked at Jiang Xincheng in disbelief. “Brother, you said this is a Celestial Grade, Upper Tier Primordial Force Cultivation Method?”

Jiang Xincheng nodded and said gravely, “I found this supreme divine skill by accident while exploring an ancient tomb. It should be a Primordial Force Cultivation Method left behind by ancient people many years ago. Its origins are mysterious, and it is suitable for girls to practice. After my research, I confirmed that this Phoenix Scripture is indeed a Celestial Grade, Upper Tier Primordial Force Cultivation Method. It is also unique in the world, extremely precious and priceless. So after you learn it, you must keep it a secret. Don’t tell anyone, not even Mom and Dad.”

“Innocent people get punished for owning rare treasures. If such a priceless treasure were to be revealed, it could bring disaster to our whole family. So you must keep this secret between just the two of us. Practice diligently, and once you reach a certain level of cultivation, you won’t have to worry about the secret leaking.”

Jiang Xincheng warned her very seriously with an extremely stern expression. However, he was confident that Jiang Xinyu could keep the secret. He knew her personality well. Since he had spoken so seriously, Jiang Xinyu would never reveal the Phoenix Scripture, even if it meant death.

It was precisely because he understood Jiang Xinyu’s character and trusted her completely that Jiang Xincheng dared to pass the Phoenix Scripture to her. He wanted her to gain the ability to protect herself as soon as possible and control her own destiny.

As for their parents, on one hand, they were older and it wasn’t the right time for them to practice such powerful Primordial Force Cultivation Methods yet. Jiang Xincheng planned to wait until he advanced to become a Level 8 Alchemist. Then he would refine Spiritual Elixirs for them that could temporarily restore their youth and vitality, allowing them to enter the Golden Age of cultivation again. At that time, they could practice those powerful Primordial Force Cultivation Methods and quickly advance to the Cloud Condensation Realm as Great Yuan Warriors, gaining a second youth.

On the other hand, both parents were talkative and liked to chat everywhere. Their father also drank occasionally. Jiang Xincheng was afraid that if he told them about the powerful Primordial Force Cultivation Methods, they might accidentally let it slip and bring disaster to the whole family. After thinking it over carefully, Jiang Xincheng decided to only teach Jiang Xinyu one Celestial Grade, Upper Tier Primordial Force Cultivation Method. He wouldn’t teach their parents for now. Doing this was for the good of the whole family.

Jiang Xinyu was very smart. She understood the importance of the matter as soon as Jiang Xincheng mentioned it. She nodded seriously and said, “Brother, I understand. I won’t tell anyone, not even Mom and Dad. Only you and I will know.”

“Mm, the Phoenix Scripture is a matter of great importance, a treasure of the world. If news of it gets out, Practitioners from all over the world will come to fight for it. So this secret must remain buried in our hearts.” Seeing that Jiang Xinyu understood immediately, Jiang Xincheng smiled and warned her again. “You witnessed what happened to our family before. If I hadn’t reached the Cloud Condensation Realm, our family would have been destroyed by the Love Fire Bar and the Zhang Family. The world has changed. With the emergence of Primordial Force, everything has turned upside down.”

“Strong fists are what matter most. Without enough strength, your fate can only be controlled by others. That homeless person poisoned by the thugs from the Love Fire Bar to frame us is an example. If he had enough strength, how could the Love Fire Bar thugs have poisoned him just to set us up? And how many people has the Zhang Family killed in secret? Many people in town know about it, but who dares to speak up?”

At this point, Jiang Xincheng paused and placed his hands on Jiang Xinyu’s soft shoulders. “Xinyu, from now on, don’t take cultivation lightly anymore. Your talent is so strong—it’s top-tier cultivation aptitude. It would be such a waste if you don’t make good use of it. You heard the phone call between Xuanyuan Ningshuang and me. The Ximen Family is now watching us closely and could send people to attack our family at any time. Without enough strength, how can we protect ourselves and our parents?”

“I know you like playing the piano, singing, and studying, but these things aren’t very important in this era of rising Primordial Force. You often watch the news, so you probably know that among the world’s top 100 universities now, the score for Primordial Force cultivation far exceeds that for academic subjects. This shows that countries around the world treat Primordial Force cultivation as the most important thing, while academic subjects are secondary. So whether for your own future or for the safety of our family, you must practice well. Spend most of your time on cultivation and only a small part on academic studies. Treat playing the piano and singing as entertainment.”

Jiang Xincheng’s words shook Jiang Xinyu. She looked up at Jiang Xincheng, her delicate, picture-perfect face showing a hint of hesitation. “Brother, is this really necessary?”

“If we don’t do this, maybe one day Mom and Dad, or I, will be crushed like ants by some powerful Primordial Warriors. Take Ximen Changkong, for example. If I hadn’t shown enough talent and potential and negotiated with the principal of Tianhai University to have a Rain Transformation Realm Great Yuan Warrior secretly protect our family for a year, our whole family would probably be in trouble by now.”

Jiang Xincheng gave a helpless smile. To make Jiang Xinyu understand the importance of cultivation, he explained many things clearly, even if it meant showing her the dark side of the world. “Even so, after one year, Tianhai University will no longer protect our family. By then, if I haven’t gained enough strength, our family will be in danger. The world of Primordial Force is a world where the strong prey on the weak. It’s just that there’s still the cover of laws now, so ordinary people can’t see it.”
