After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 422 Supernatural Powers and Sainthood

"I will definitely visit the Heavenly Demon Holy City when I have the chance in the future," Shen Xu replied respectfully.

"Remember to bring Xiao Ruo with you then! Now that she has chosen to accept my inheritance, the human realm is no longer suitable for her."

Shen Xu suppressed the urge to complain. Have some shame, okay? Why should I agree to your request? Besides, does Xiao Ru have a choice?

"I wonder if you, senior, can resolve Xiaoruo's bloodline issue? She and her mother have suffered greatly because of it."

"It can alleviate the problem, but it cannot completely solve it. Moreover, her identity will also be affected. That's why I asked you to bring her to the Heavenly Demon City. Only by completely removing the human bloodline from her can she truly be reborn."

"This is incredibly troublesome!" Shen Xu sighed inwardly, and decided that he would never ask about this matter again once he returned.

"I want to be human, I don't want wings, I don't want demon blood!" Xiao Ru broke free from the young man's hand, her innocent face full of seriousness.

“As long as you cultivate to a certain level, you can completely transform into a human, just like me.” The young man turned to look at Xiao Ruo.

"Really?" Xiao Ru looked at Shen Xu with some disbelief.

Shen Xu nodded somewhat helplessly. Compared to the Qiling White Crane, the human bloodline indeed had no advantage.

"Will Brother Xu send me to the demon realm?" Xiao Ru asked earnestly.

"Grandma, why did you ask that question? How could I refuse in this situation?" Shen Xu felt utterly exhausted.

"Yes, I will!" Shen Xu replied with a smile.

“Then I’m willing to go to the demon race too,” Xiao Ruo said to the young man.

"Don't think I'm making you come all this way for nothing. This divine power is enough for you to use up to the level of a half-saint!"

After the young man finished speaking, he pointed at Shen Xu with his finger. A point of golden light appeared at the young man's fingertip, and then burst into a dazzling golden radiance, instantly occupying all of Shen Xu's vision.

Shen Xu felt a bright golden light before his eyes, followed by a white blur. Before he could react to what was happening, a pitch-black halberd suddenly appeared in the sky and slashed down directly at him, as massive as a hundred thousand mountains, its power awe-inspiring.

The halberd was so heavy that when it cleaved down, the black halberd body distorted the void, and terrifying waves of energy surged forth like a vast ocean.

Faced with this attack, Shen Xu had no desire to resist at all.

Just then, a loud crane cry resounded through the sky.

A blonde woman appeared out of thin air in front of the halberd, surrounded by golden spiritual flames. A huge golden-red phantom of a spirit crane appeared behind her. Then, ten thousand swords rang out in unison, their sword energy like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the void!

Behind the phantom of the crane, thousands of feathered swords emerged simultaneously, dazzling like divine rainbows, exuding a chilling aura. Countless sword energies shot out, sweeping forward and striking the halberd. Boundless killing intent crashed like waves against the shore, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and triggering violent fluctuations in the surrounding void.

Feathers and sword light intertwined like a cascading silver river, repelling the halberd. Wherever the aftershocks passed, the lingering shadow of a crane in the air remained for a long time, as if a celestial being had descended upon the world.

As the sword light dissipated, Shen Xu was still reeling from the shock he had just witnessed. Although the scene he had just seen was not as grand and magnificent as the black shadow had shown him.

But whether it was the terrifying pressure of the black halberd or the deadly sharpness of the blonde woman's feather sword energy, he felt it all as if he were truly there.

"Is this what supernatural power is?" Shen Xu exclaimed in amazement. According to his understanding, 'supernatural power' is something that can be compared to a Heaven-rank secret manual. Each one either has unique effects or earth-shattering power.

Feeling the golden light emanating from the seed of divine power within his body, Shen Xu never imagined that one day he would be able to learn a divine power without paying any price.

"The owner of the halberd was a half-saint. He attacked from across the void, but we joined forces to defeat him." The young man's figure appeared beside him and said calmly, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

"Thank you, senior. But can this supernatural power only be used by me and Xiaoruo together?"

“It would also work with Jiaojiao, but the effect would probably be greatly reduced, since my inheritance is given to Xiaoruo.”

"Does the senior know about Jiaojiao's matter?"

“We already knew everything when you opened the temple passage.”

Even on the True Spirit Blood Tablet, you would rank at the very top, so we can accept that you are recognized by two clans at the same time.

Of course, the most important point is that Xiao Ruo is not a pure-blooded Qiling White Crane.

"Senior, please forgive my impertinence, but as far as I know, when Xiao Ru was born, the bloodline of the Qi Ling clan was not obvious. Why did the Holy Temple insist on summoning her? She could have been an ordinary child." Taking advantage of the opportunity to be alone with the young man, Shen Xu braced himself and asked.

"No wonder Jiaojiao and Xiaoruo both approve of you." The young man's voice carried a hint of approval.

"Xiao Ruo has my bloodline. After I achieved the Tongtian realm, her bloodline was also sublimated along with me. It was her bloodline that activated the Holy Temple, not the Holy Temple that stimulated her bloodline."

Even within the Qiling clan, pure-blooded Qiling white cranes with bloodline purity like Xiaoruo's are few and far between. For some reason, a portion of the blessings bestowed upon me by Heaven when I broke through was given to Xiaoruo.

This was fate's choice; she was destined not to be an ordinary child.

"A choice of fate." Shen Xu sighed inwardly. Was his connection with the Qiling clan also an arrangement of fate?

"Will Xiaoruo be able to become a normal person after she goes back? And for how long?" Since he had promised Xiaoruo, he did not intend to go back on his word. Moreover, Tushan Chuchu had drunk so much of his magic potion, so he had to give her an explanation.

"At least she'll be fine before she transforms into human form. If she transforms without removing her human bloodline, then I can't save her either."

Shen Xu knew that the transformation of the demon race was equivalent to the rebirth of the human race. Fortunately, the rebirth realm was still far away from him, and he had plenty of time to plan his journey to the demon realm.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will definitely take Xiaoruo to the Demon Realm to visit you in the future," Shen Xu solemnly promised.

It wasn't just because the young man taught him a supernatural power, but also because being able to befriend a powerful demon saint was an opportunity that many people would beg for eight lifetimes in vain.

"Go say goodbye to Xiaoruo. She still has a lot to learn. You probably don't need me to take you back." As the young man finished speaking, the white surrounding Shen Xu quickly faded, and the magnificent golden hall reappeared before his eyes, but the young man had already disappeared.

"Xiao Ruo, I'm leaving now. You must stay and receive the inheritance from the senior." Shen Xu squatted down and said softly to Xiao Ruo in front of him.

"Brother Xu, aren't you going to stay and keep Xiao Ru company?" Xiao Ru asked reluctantly.

This question left Shen Xu somewhat at a loss for words; he couldn't very well say that his ancestors wouldn't let him stay.

"I also wanted to stay and be with Xiaoruo, but I have very important things to do."

"But I can promise you, Xiaoruo, that after you go back, I'll accompany you to explore Tianjian City. You've always wanted me to go with you, haven't you?" Shen Xu smiled and patted Xiaoruo's golden hair.

"Pinky promise!" Xiao Ru extended her little finger.

"Okay!" Shen Xu smiled and hooked his little finger tightly with Xiao Ru's little finger, then activated the dazzling crystals within his body.
