How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

The Wanfazong Martial Arts Square was bustling with people and extremely lively.

The newly recruited disciples are undergoing talent testing in the square. Two long lines are neatly arranged on the left and right sides of the square. One line is registering their names, while the other line is undergoing talent testing in front of the Great Dao Cauldron.

A young man held his breath, about to strike the Great Dao Cauldron, when a deafening sound suddenly shattered the tranquility of the world!

"Hey——!"

It was a clear, resonant phoenix cry that pierced the heavens, extremely loud, as if it came from the ancient primordial era, carrying boundless majesty and holiness, instantly echoing throughout the entire Myriad Laws Sect. Whether it was the testing disciples in the square, the elders on duty, the sect disciples who were cultivating, or even the eight Great Emperors on the cloud platform, everyone was startled by this phoenix cry.

The noise in the martial arts training square came to an abrupt halt. All the disciples who were taking tests or queuing stopped what they were doing, subconsciously looked up, and their eyes all turned to the highest peak of the Wanfa Sect—Wanfa Peak.

Wanfa Peak pierces the sky, shrouded in mist and clouds. It is the residence of the sect leader and his personal disciples, and is usually mysterious and unpredictable. At this moment, this earth-shaking phoenix cry comes from the top of Wanfa Peak!

The square instantly erupted in excitement, the tense atmosphere vanished, and the disciples whispered among themselves, their faces filled with shock and curiosity, their discussions rising and falling.

"What was that sound just now? It sounded like... the cry of a phoenix?"

"It's definitely the cry of a phoenix! The cry of the legendary divine bird, the phoenix! I've seen it recorded in ancient books; the cry of a phoenix is ​​always a sign of good fortune!"

A disciple who had some knowledge of classical texts quickly spoke up, his eyes gazing eagerly in the direction of Wanfa Peak, his voice trembling slightly.

"Could it be that a supreme treasure has been born on Wanfa Peak? Or... has the Sect Master comprehended an unparalleled martial arts technique, attracting this extraordinary phenomenon?"

Someone lowered their voice, guessing with awe, their eyes fixed on the cloud-shrouded peak, afraid of missing the slightest movement.

"Impossible! The sect leader is already at the Great Emperor realm. If it is an anomaly caused by enlightenment, it would never be a sign of a phoenix's cry! In my opinion, it must be the resurrection of an ancient divine bird that the sect has suppressed, or a divine beast with phoenix bloodline has descended upon our Myriad Laws Sect!" an inner disciple said in a deep voice.

Some of the more astute disciples, their eyes gleaming with hope, whispered among themselves, "Could it be that something earth-shattering is about to happen in our Myriad Laws Sect? Or perhaps a peerless genius has descended upon the world, attracting the resonance of the phoenix? This is an auspicious omen that is rare indeed!"

The eight emperors on the cloud platform looked through the clouds of Wanfa Peak toward the pavilion and saw a small, fiery red bird flying happily around Xiao Ningyun. Their puzzled expressions immediately disappeared, and the eight of them smiled at each other and stopped paying attention.

Then, a gentle voice entered Kun Kun's ears: "Don't be curious, the test continues..."

Upon hearing the voice, Kun Kun was immediately jolted out of his curiosity. "Is that the voice of Empress Lingxu?" Kun Kun quickly turned around and looked towards the Cloud Platform, bowing slightly and saying, "Yes, Peak Master Lingxu."

"Everyone stop looking, line up, the test will continue," Kun Kun shouted.

Upon hearing Kun Kun's voice, everyone stopped discussing and lined up again, but the lingering sound of the phoenix's cry still resonated in their hearts.

"Hehe... You're so happy, you must like this name. From now on, you'll be called Jinxiao!" Xiao Ningyun said happily.

"Okay, Jinxiao is such a powerful name, I like it, I'll be called Jinxiao from now on." After saying that, it happily flapped its wings.

"Jinxiao, come on, I'll take you to the garden, there are lots of delicious fruits there."

"What? There's something delicious? That's great! Take me there quickly!" Jin Xiao flew up to Xiao Ningyun's shoulder in a flash.

"Little Hou, grow bigger quickly and take us both to the garden."

Lu Hou immediately became unhappy and quickly ran to Lu Chen's feet and lay down, muttering to himself: "He used to hold me, but now that there's this little guy, he treats me like a mount..."

"Little Hou, come here quickly, or I won't take you out to play anymore."

Hearing Xiao Ningyun's words, Lu Hou fell into deep thought: Is saving face more important, or being able to go out and play in the future?

Finally... Lu Hou stood up, walked up to Xiao Ningyun, and let out a howl.

At this moment, Jinxiao also curiously looked at Luhou. Feeling the bloodline pressure emanating from Luhou, it couldn't help but shrink its body behind Xiao Ningyun's head.

"Little Hou, grow bigger quickly."

Lu Hou had no choice but to comply with Xiao Ningyun's request and obediently grew bigger little by little.

Lu Chen looked at the man and the two beasts, smiled, and then ignored them.

In a small courtyard behind the Wanfa Sect, Jiang Dao was leisurely drinking tea when a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Elder Jiang, I'm here!"

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Dao laughed and looked up to see Xiao Ningyun leading Lu Hou into the courtyard, with a small, fiery red bird perched on her shoulder.

"Oh my, isn't this our Wanfa Sect's senior sister? We haven't seen you since you brought your junior sister here last time. What brings you here today?"

"Elder Jiang, please don't say that. I've been forced to cultivate by my master lately, and I haven't had time to play. I missed you today, so I came to visit you."

"You little rascal, are you missing me, or are you missing the fruit in my garden?" Jiang Dao asked with a hearty laugh.

Xiao Ningyun chuckled: "I want both."

"Haha...you little rascal. Alright, go pick the spirit fruit yourself in the garden, and remember to pick the ripe ones."

"Hehe... I know, I'm going now." After saying that, the man and the two beasts turned around and walked towards the garden.

Jiang Dao glanced at the little red bird on Xiao Ningyun's shoulder, and was slightly startled, thinking to himself: This little bird actually has the cultivation of the peak Saint King Realm, and its bloodline aura is so powerful. Recalling the phoenix cry from before, the corners of Jiang Dao's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

In late spring, the Lingyun Garden is shrouded in a light mist of spiritual energy. The lush spiritual trees are covered with branches laden with colorful spiritual fruits, their fragrance slowly wafting through the air.

Xiao Ningyun, dressed in a light pink dress, with the fluffy Jinxiao perched on her shoulder, slowly walked into the garden.

"Jinxiao, look, the Xuanling fruits here are all ripe!" Ning Yun's eyes sparkled as she pointed to a fruit tree not far away laden with crimson spirit fruits, excitedly shaking the little phoenix's paw. The spirit fruits were round and plump, their skin gleaming with a warm, spiritual light; a bite would surely yield sweet, refreshing juice.

She tiptoed, reached out and picked the plumpest Xuanling fruit, carefully offered it to the little phoenix's mouth, and coaxed softly, "Try it, it's so sweet, eating it will help you gain power."

The little phoenix tilted its head, glanced down at the spiritual fruit in Ning Yun's palm, its round eyes instantly drooping, its tiny beak pouting slightly, and it retreated with its little claws in disgust. It flapped its tender little wings and sniffed lightly. The fruity fragrance that Ning Yun found incredibly sweet was completely unappealing to its phoenix true form, thanks to the senses transmitted through Jin Xiao's bloodline.

Seeing that it wouldn't eat, Ning Yun went next door, reached out and picked a few glossy black Soul Spirit Fruits, piling them in her palm.

"Jinxiao, eat this quickly, it can strengthen your soul."

But Jin Xiao only glanced at it, then turned his head away in disgust, swatting Ning Yun's hand away with his little wings.

"The fruit here is too ordinary, I don't want to eat it..." Jin Xiao said haughtily.

Lu Hou ignored them and went directly to the peach orchard in the distance, picked a peach and ate it.

"Hmph, I picked these for you myself, hurry up and try one." Xiao Ningyun said, pretending to be angry.

"Alright, I'll reluctantly eat one." After saying that, Jin Xiao swallowed the entire Xuanling Fruit in one gulp. Instantly, a huge amount of energy entered Jin Xiao's body. Before Jin Xiao could be surprised, he immediately activated the cultivation technique that was built into his mind.

What the little phoenix didn't know was that these spiritual fruits were all produced by the system. Although they weren't immortal fruits, as long as you weren't an immortal, eating them would have an effect.

Half an hour later...

"Ah, this is great! It increased my cultivation by ten years. I want to eat more of these fruits; if I eat a few more, I can break through to the Great Sage realm!" Jinxiao said, flapping his wings.

Master said that only the first Mystic Spirit Fruit can increase cultivation by ten years; eating any more will be useless.

"And what about the fruit in your hand?" Jin Xiao asked, looking at the Soul Spirit Fruit in Xiao Ningyun's hand.

This is a Soul Fruit; eating it will strengthen your soul. You can eat several, but Master said that the first one is the most effective, and the effect diminishes with each subsequent one.

"Those are dragon scale fruits over there. Eating them can strengthen your body and improve your blood circulation," Xiao Ningyun said, pointing to the dragon scale fruits not far away.

The little beast is eating peaches of immortality, which can add a thousand years to one's lifespan.

"A thousand years of lifespan? Great... These are all good fruits, pick more quickly." Jin Xiao said cheekily.

So, the man and the beast got busy in the garden.
