--- Chapter 392 ---
In addition to these four powerful spirit skills, Lady Fenghuang also left behind two external-type Spirit Bones made from her leftover power of origins, which could not fit within her spirit ring.
Although these external Spirit Bones were 'naturally' made from 'leftover' origins, which makes them less appealing, their quality is equal to that of divine Spirit Bones.
After all, any remnants of a Divine Beast are rare, literal treasures in their own right, and the Phoenix, in particular, is one of the most renowned Divine Beasts.
The parts of the True Phoenix—its wings, eyes, head, heart, skeleton, blood, feathers, and talons—are worth more than any ordinary Spirit Bones.
Fortunately, Lady Fenghuang made the Spirit Bones as external-type ones since Han Yuan did not plan to absorb any of the six main Spirit Bones just yet.
Lady Fenghuang understood that while Han Yuan didn't lack many things, there were still some areas where she could aid him. Without asking him, she had already created these solutions to address his shortcomings.
The vision of a Godking-level powerhouse is certainly good. Han Yuan's flaws are laid bare before her eyes.
The first external-type spirit bone is a pair of white-gold wings made from a collection of fine, shimmering feathers. These big wings are 'beautifully' joined with flowing golden silks, which can be attached to the shoulder blades.
...
[Name: Empyrean Plume of Divine Phoenix]
[Type: External (Wings/Shoulder Blades)]
[Grade: Divine (Phoenix God's Origins)]
[Cultivation Age: Cannot be determined precisely, but at least 1,000,000 years old in cultivation]
[Spirit Skills: True Sky Domain, Empyrean God-Extinguishing Twin Arms, Endless Feather Storm, Void Traversal]
[Description: A pair of divine wings made from the leftover essences of the Phoenix God, possessing immense power and a set of spirit skills capable of covering heaven and earth.]
...
[True Sky Domain]
[This authority over the sky prohibits anyone from flying within the user's effective range. Any form of flight, even simple hovering, is forbidden until the domain disperses.
Additionally, the speed of hostile enemies is always one realm slower than that of the domain user!]
[Note: True Sky Domain requires the "Sky" to activate and is 'inherently' weakened in restricted zones. Other Divine Domains may also weaken or even cancel this domain upon clash.]
...
[Empyrean God-Extinguishing Twin Arms]
[The Empyrean Arm 1st Form: Summons an ancient longbow made from Divine Phoenix's True Bone and Origins, also known as Empyrean Bow, which is not only durable but also can imbue its projectiles with god-killing, soul-reaping properties.
The Empyrean Arm 2nd Form: Divide the 'Empyrean Bow' into two twin blades that burn with heavenly flames, also known as Empyrean Blades, and any enemy wounded will be affected by Karmic Flame, incinerating their very soul into ashes.]
...
[Endless Feather Storms]
Conjures an infinite number of Divine Phoenix's blazing feathers, creating a burning storm. The shape and strength of each feather can be modified and used as projectiles for the Empyrean Bow. It is an offensive and also control-type divine skill.
...
[Void Traversal]
[This Divine Skill allows one to traverse between spaces seamlessly, as if compressing heaven and earth. It ignores all restrictions below the divine level! It can also break through Divine Restrictions, but not all of them.]
...
The other external spirit bone that Lady Fenghuang made with her origins is a vertical third eye. It appears metallic white-gold with a red vertical pupil, like a phoenix's eyes.
...
[Name: Phoenix-Crested Divine Eye]
[Type: External (Third Vertical Eye)]
[Grade: Divine (Phoenix God's Origins)]
[Cultivation Age: Cannot be determined precisely, but at least 1,000,000 years old in cultivation
[Spirit Skills: Truth-Seeking Elemental Sight, Sky-Breaking Solar Beam, Tri-Realm Locks, Heavenly Phoenix's Domination]
[Description: A vertical third 'divine' eye made from the leftover essences of the Phoenix God, endowed with mysterious powers and a set of spirit skills that can lock onto and annihilate the world.]
...
[Truth-Seeking Elemental Sight]
[This divine skill allows the user to catch, pursue, analyze, and ultimately, decompose everything within their sight. It grants the power not only to perceive the essence of all things but also to study their flaws and break them apart with just a mere gaze. Requires a high level mastery of one's spiritual power/mental energy!]
...
[Sky-Breaking Solar Beam]
[Harnessing the Phoenix's Flame, this skill channels it through the third eye, transforming it into a destructive solar beam capable of incinerating anything in its path. Triple stacking of divine flame, spiritual power, and one's spiritual energy]
...
[Tri-Realm Locks]
[A divine divination skill is designed to strike the enemy across the past, present, and future. Essentially, it provides a near-omniscient ability to pinpoint the enemy's exact location. They can run, but they cannot hide from this skill.
Using 'Archery' in conjunction with Truth-Seeking Elemental Sight and Tri-Realm Locks allows one to target where the enemy was, where they are, and where they will be. Truly a divine set of skills for Divine Archer!]
...
[Heavenly Phoenix's Domination]
[The Primordial Spirit of the Heavenly Phoenix once ruled the sky and all avian beasts. Upon activation, this skill grants the user the "Indomitable" and "Conqueror" status while weakening the spirits of others, especially those of bird-type enemies. And there is a small chance of completely dominating an enemy, turning them into an ally.]

"One spirit ring and two external Spirit Bones. In total, Lady Fenghuang has granted me twelve Spirit skills," Han Yuan said, shaking his head helplessly. "Having a sugar mommy is really different."
Di Yating grumbled in his spiritual sea, "Hmph, it's just spirit skills. The ones I gave you are more powerful than these..."
"Don't be like this, Yating. You know which spirit skills are better in certain situations," Han Yuan replied with a faint smile. "The Twilight Shield and the Reflection Skill are good, but they focus mainly on defense."
"The spirit skills granted by Lady Fenghuang are offensive and consist of a very aggressive set of abilities," He continued. "Not only that, they cover my lack of long-range attacks."
Han Yuan was all too aware of his effective hit zone. Anything outside his line of sight and domain was difficult to hit.
Nevertheless, with the new super offensive spirit skills Lady Fenghuang had given him, he could easily become a super archer, launching cannon-like projectiles one after another.
Even though Han Yuan had better coverage with his profound mastery of lightning-related techniques, the energy consumption was too incredibly high, making it hard for him to sustain them for long. These twelve new spirit skills perfectly addressed that issue.
Di Yating grew even more displeased—not out of anger, but because she recognized that Han Yuan was right. After all, she wasn't even a million-year-old spirit beast yet.
She could only provide four spirit skills, two of which weren't even fully related to her, as they resulted from a combination of her origins and the Heavenly Demon's powers.
In essence, she felt worthless, which was ironic considering she had just deemed the Phoenix God the same and weaker than the Dragon God due to her loss of Creation Force.
Only then did Di Yating realize that her value was changing as Han Yuan progressed in his cultivation path, which made her uncomfortable.
She gritted her teeth and lashed out one final time like a wronged little wife, "Han Yuan, you jerk! You really favor the new over the old!"
Han Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. "What do you mean, favor the new over the old?"
"I literally can't do that because we're 'literally' bound together through the Soul Contract Pact."
"Hmph! I don't care! I'm going to sleep!" Di Yating shouted a few times before the spiritual sea fell silent.
Han Yuan shook his head helplessly at this dragon. 'Isn't this just your typical tsundere?'
'Whatever, let her cool down for a moment...' He sighed.
After planning his schedule in the Samsara Isle of Paradise, Han Yuan immediately told his companions that he would refine the external spirit bones first, then enter seclusion, and they could focus on their own Phoenix God Trials.
He had already shared the resources they needed, so completing the first trial shouldn't be difficult.

Unknowingly, a month passed just like that.
