System Journey to Godhood
Chapter 8: Breakthrough 8th Level Qi Refining Stage

When Feng Xue and Snowy in Phoenix Pavilion, two people inside the Feng Mansion chatting and enjoying the serenity of the little garden.

The man emitting a noble aura and despite his actual age looks like in his late 30's. His blue eyes so deep seemingly contain wisdom that reflected his experience in life. His temperament was calm and collected made people around him feel safe and secure.

He was Feng Xuan. The current patriarch of Feng Family and Phoenix City Lord.

"What do you think of the lady that little Xue brought home?" Feng Xuan asked the woman who served him a tea in refine and elegant manner, Madam Feng.

"She is a strange but lovely girl. Her countenance a bit stiff reminds me of a doll. Though, she seems very obedient to little Xue." Madam Feng replied.

"Is there any chance that she is a spy planted by Yan Family?" Feng Xuan frowned and asked with a serious expression.

"Although the chance is not zero, it's doubtful someone that unsociable to be a spy. I'll keep my eyes on her so you don't need to worry too much." Madam Feng calmly answered.

"I just don't want to see someone take advantage of our daughter and bring her harm. Patriarch Yan has been pressuring me about marrying little Xue with his son lately."

"You shouldn't overthink it. Let the young settle their own matter. We, elders, just need to watch and make sure that she is safe."

Madam Feng understood her husband's worries, because so does she. However, their daughter was already grown up so she can only put her trust in her.

Feng Xuan noticed that her wife trying to calm him down.

"Yes, yes. But it will be lonely when little Xue leaves home. How about give her a little brother soon?" teased Feng Xuan. Who knew he will get lucky tonight?

"Hmmph, you pervert! Let's talk about it, later!" Madam Feng harrumphed when she heard her husband's shameless question. Her face warmed up and the tip of her ears turned red.

"Yes, yes. Hehe." Think that her wife's reaction is very adorable, he continued to laugh shamelessly.

"Anyway, I heard there will be some blood of real Phoenix in the next Auction. Do you want to get it for little Xue?" asked Madam Fang to escape from the embarrassing situation.

"Yes, I have prepared a huge sum of money so we can compete with other great family or even big sects. Our ancestor root is closely tied with Phoenix so I think it'll be beneficial for little Xue."

"I hope we can pass these few days without a bump, I can feel a storm is brewing"

"Yes. No matter what I'll keep our family safe."

They continued chatting until Madam Feng left to prepare the dinner.

After Feng Xue and Snowy finished their business in Phoenix Pavilion, they decided to go back home.

While enjoying the walk, Feng Xue remembered the dagger that Snowy picked at the pavilion. Out of curiosity, She talked about it with Snowy.

"Why do you choose that dagger?"

"This dagger is unique, it can grow alongside its owner. It perfectly suited my cultivation technique."

"A weapon that can grow? I've never heard anything like that before. What grade it is?"

"It's currently a mortal ranked weapon. But, I think it can grow even beyond Heaven grade."

Feng Xue was already used to Snowy absurdness so when she heard about this unbelievable information she wasn't that surprised. Only her curiosity grew stronger.

"Even beyond heaven grade, huh? What's a grade beyond heaven grade?" she asked.

"Beyond Heaven grade, there are Spirit, Royal, and Divine rank. Beyond that, you don't need to know for now." Snowy said without elaborate further.

"Hmph, whatever. Trying to be mysterious." She pouted.

It doesn't matter if Snowy did not tell her about it today because she was confident that she will be able to slowly uncover all her secrets as long as they still together.

"How about the beast core? Are they enough?" Feng Xue asked to change the topic.

"I think they are enough to get me breakthrough to seventh or eight level Qi refining stages." Snowy answered casually.

"Monster…" Feng Xue's ear twitched and her jaw dropped listening to Snowy nonchalant response.

"I am a human, not a monster." Snowy insisted.

"Yes, yes. You're monstrous human."

Nobodies will believe her if Feng Xue tells them someone was advancing five minor levels in a mere one day.

'She will be more surprised if she knows that I'm still cultivating while talking with her.' Snowy thought.

Well, she was an existence that even a supreme being couldn't comprehend. So it's understandable that a mortal like Feng Xue not wholly believed her.

They continued their small talk until they reached the mansion. Feng Xue excused herself to meet her parents while Snowy back to their room alone.

Inside the room, Snowy took the beast cores out of the spatial ring. She slowly threw all beast core to her mouth. A notification pop up on her mind.

Familiar feeling seeps through her body; a proof that she had become stronger.

With her base strength, she can fight several first level qi transformation cultivators without difficulty.

She can easily trade ten to twenty blows with an ordinary second level of qi transforming stage cultivator. She even can kill them if she caught them unprepared.

If Snowy used one of her skills she can give a sixth or seventh qi transforming stage cultivator a run for their money.

'I'll ask Feng Xue to spar with me tomorrow so I can adapt to my current strength' she thought.

After finished assessing her progress, She took the World Devouring Dagger out.

The weapon is a soul weapon so she needed to bond it to her soul. She was a little worried if her incomplete soul could make her failed. But, she still decided to give it a try.

She cut a tiny wound on her finger and dripped her blood into the daggers. The daggers suddenly burst into light and slowly enter her body. Once again a ding sound appeared on her mind.

Ding!

[Host successfully bond with World Devouring Dagger]

[Weapon Spirit is detected]

[Weapon Spirit cannot fully awaken due to Host incomplete soul]

Snowy didn't expect that the daggers contain Weapon Spirit.

Although it was not totally unheard of, a Weapon that had developed consciousness is very rare. It can take a thousand years or more for a weapon to form a spirit.

Comparing a weapon with and without a spirit is like comparing heaven to earth.

A weapon with spirit can assist its owner to use their Qi more efficiently and even take independent action to support its owner in battle.

Knowing that the daggers' prowess increased significantly by completing her soul, She felt more eager to understand human emotion.
