Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

Phoenix Fire Cave Heaven, at the deepest point.

An elderly figure sat cross-legged, countless streaks of phoenix fire entwined and clung to the inner walls of the cave heaven, transforming into columns that reached the heavens, with tens of thousands of phoenix fires changing form with the elder’s breath, sometimes like butterflies, sometimes like flowers.

And not far from the elder.

The phoenix fire spread into a river, in the center, the slowly flowing fiery molten lava accentuated a lotus throne.

On the throne, a young girl sat with her eyes closed, her short hair blown by hot winds, revealing her beautiful face that was reflected in the red glow of the phoenix fire.

The girl was Jiang Huang.

In just half a year.

Jiang Huang underwent a complete transformation. She had long been a great demon in human form, but had reverted to a human shape to escape the Nine Death Forbidden. During this half-year, she swiftly matured, transforming from a childlike figure into a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

This should have been an age of innocent charm, but due to the burden of phoenix blood, Jiang Huang exuded a cold and lethal aura.

"Hoo..."

The girl breathed out a turbid breath.

On the lotus throne, a small fist-sized ball of red phoenix fire slowly condensed, like a flower bud.

"Not bad, your second Tao Realm, ’Lotus Dao Realm’... has finally formed."

The Great Palace Master slowly opened his eyes.

The elder spoke appreciatively, looking at the girl: "To cultivate two ways of the Tao Realm is what makes ’Harmonization’ possible in the future."

"Harmonization..."

Jiang Huang lowered her eyes.

She clenched her fist, feeling the demonic power flowing in the Primordial Lake.

After many years, she finally returned to the Yin God Realm.

The Nine Death Forbidden was a great disaster, but great disasters often accompany great fortunes... In some sense, she had already died once. This resurgence was almost like a reincarnation, but unlike other reincarnators, she still harbored within her a "childishly innocent" soul that had never perished.

"Harmonization is too far away."

Jiang Huang said softly: "In a thousand years, no one has accomplished it, I won’t force it."

Just breaking through.

Her aura continuously surged... In mere moments, she reached the Tenth Realm of Yin God.

With the entanglement of two Tao Realms.

Ultimately, Jiang Huang arrived at the Eleventh Realm of Yin God, a realm already quite remarkable.

Yet compared to her previous life, it was still far off.

Back then in the Great Chu Imperial City, she had already cultivated to the Twenty-first Realm of Yin Spirit, only slightly short of Perfect.

"It’s a good mindset."

The Great Palace Master smiled.

If outsiders were present, they’d surely be surprised.

The Great Palace Master of Heavenly Phoenix Palace was usually not one to smile often and was extremely strict with his disciples.

Since Mo Zhen passed away, the ’Throne’ of Heavenly Phoenix Palace remained vacant, despite the emergence of several impressive great demons, none were favored by the Great Palace Master.

Now...

Jiang Huang was personally nurtured by the Great Palace Master to become the next throne, yet he made no exaggerated demands on ’Harmonization,’ not even a hint of blame.

This was indeed somewhat overly indulgent.

"Actually on the path of cultivation, many things are already destined."

The Great Palace Master paused, speaking warmly: "If destiny has it, it will be, if not, don’t force it. The two words ’Harmonization’ sound simple, but throughout history, how many have truly achieved it... Cultivating two Great Dao is already commendable. Your ’Karmic Fire’ and ’Lotus’ two Great Daos, aren’t perfectly complementary. As long as you can cultivate these two Tao Realms to perfection simultaneously, and step onto the Yang God Summit, your future achievements will surpass mine."

"..."

Jiang Huang remained silent for a moment, then asked, "I’ve heard Zhao Chunyang from Da Sui Sword Palace is a Harmonizer."

In these years.

The two lands fought ceaselessly.

Back and forth, only a few strongest figures existed.

In the Demon Country’s side, the Great Palace Master, Old Saint Emperor, and Mo Zhen, along with a ’Holy Empress.’ 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

On the Human Race’s side, Zen Master, Zhao Chunyang, Xiao Yaozi, and Qin Ancestor.

If ranking by individual combat power, in Jiang Huang’s heart, among these strongest, the one most unshakable, the one she feared the most... was Zhao Chunyang.

She had met the Sword Palace Master face to face.

Although it was just a brief encounter.

But the powerful oppressive feeling left an indelible impression, unforgettable for a lifetime.

Having reached this level, who isn’t exceptionally talented?

Yet Jiang Huang always felt... Zhao Chunyang was different from other strongest.

Is it because of Harmonization?

"Zhao Chunyang is a Harmonizer..."

The Great Palace Master slightly narrowed his eyes, reminiscing about memories from years ago.

"He... should be counted as half a ’Harmonizer.’"

The Great Palace Master gently smiled, saying: "I just mentioned, if destiny has it, it will be, if not, don’t force it. Although he achieved the unity of Tao Realms, the paths he comprehended are mutually exclusive, destined not to complement each other, hence, throughout his life, he couldn’t complete the ’Harmonization feat.’"

"Is that so?"

Jiang Huang mused.

"The tide of qi fortune has arrived. Harmonization is no longer impossible."

The Great Palace Master smiled and said: "Sometimes, being born in a good era is more important than hard work."

Back then.

They sought to achieve Yang God, as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Now...

The difficulty has greatly diminished.

Wu Jiu became a Great Venerable at a young age, although the talent of this young fellow is indeed impressive, if placed back then, the date to Condense Dao would have been delayed by at least another 60 years.

"Though reluctant to admit it, Zhao Chunyang is indeed a bit stronger than me."

The Great Palace Master raised his thumb and index finger, gently rubbing them.

He sighed with a smile: "Because he completed the ’unity,’ he used to be... just a bit stronger than me."

Even while smiling.

But there was a touch of helplessness in the Great Palace Master’s eyes.

This seemingly narrow little bit, is precisely like a heavenly barrier for top-level strongest, unattainable, unfathomable, unreachable.
