Spirit Hall – Celestial Weapon Vault
The towering gates groaned as ancient runes glowed to life. Qian Tian stood at the threshold of the Celestial Weapon Vault, his golden eyes calm, yet quietly burning with anticipation. Only those of divine blood, direct descendants of the Seraphim line, were allowed entry. For centuries, even Bibi Dong had never walked these halls.
Now, the vault answered to him.

Rows of weapons hovered in stasis: soul swords, divine spears, halberds forged in elemental storms. Yet one called to him—nestled within a chamber of ice and flame.

Qian Tian took the halberd into his hand. Instantly, the vault temperature dropped while the ceiling ignited with golden flame.
Power sang through his bones.
Training Grounds – That Same Day
Qian Renxue knelt within the sacred circle, radiant light pulsing from her. She had trained relentlessly under Tian's guidance. Today was her awakening trial.
"Relax," Qian Tian whispered, his halberd at his back, his divine aura shielding the area.
Renxue's eyes opened. Twin beams of light burst from her back. One… a Golden Angel, as expected.
The second…
A phoenix of pure sunlight and golden fire.

Qian Tian stepped forward, eyes narrowing.
"This is no ordinary mutation. The Phoenix… it's a sign. You're not just Spirit Hall's future. You're something more."
Renxue's eyes burned with golden fire.
"Then train me harder, brother. I want to stand beside you—not behind."
He smiled.
"So be it."
Somewhere in the Forests of Nuoding
A seven-year-old boy sat quietly beneath a tree, silver grass brushing his legs. Tang San looked down at his hand—where the Blue Silver Grass danced faintly with spirit light.
He clenched his fist.
"Still not enough."
Tang Sect Technique: Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step – Mastery 17%Tang Hao's Voice: "You're strong, but strength without precision is wasted. Use your mind. Feel the enemy's breath before their fist."
Tang San's eyes narrowed. In his pocket, he kept a broken jade token his father once gave him.
The man in Spirit Hall… Qian Tian… he's a wall I have to climb.
Spirit Hall – Sacred Garden
Qian Tian stood under the moonlight, Renxue asleep nearby.
He stared at the stars.
"System," he said quietly. "That phoenix… her second spirit. That wasn't natural, was it?"

His eyes turned cold.
"So… I'm not the only one."
