Yang Feng was looking at the changes in his status panel after his and Su Yan's 'little' Dual Cultivation session. During nearly their entire session, their Dual Cultivation technique 'Primordial Dragon Phoenix Unity Art' was constantly running and served it's original purpose, strengthening his dragon bloodline.
Or more like, changing his bloodline from a 'Human' to that of a 'Dragon' by accessing the power in the Golden Dragon Emperor Source.
During the three weeks of Dual Cultivation, Yes! three weeks, he had noticed how his Bloodline continued to be transformed into a Dragon. But after it reached the '3%' mark, it stopped increasing and Yang Feng felt as if some kind of blockage was blocking him from increasing the dragon bloodline density.
After some thorough 'research', he concluded that there was a limit on how much Dragon blood density his body could hold, without something unknown happening to it.
But that raised a question. How was it that his overtly powerful body had such a restriction in something as trivial as changing bloodline density?
And currently, he was able to reach only two conclusions. One could be detrimental to him and the other could prove to be beneficial to him. So, he hoped that it was the latter.
Shaking his head to dismiss the thought. Yang Feng spoke, "Display Missions."

Yang Feng looked at the mission tab, especially at the new missions and their rewards.
'Artifact Modification Scroll? ... Hmm, if it 'modifies' the artifact in the way I am thinking it would ... I might just avoid a huge headache.' Yang Feng thought as his eyes shined radiantly.
His expressions changed into thoughtful and somewhat indifferent as he looked at the two other rewards, or the lack there of.
*Sigh* 'The Ancient Demon Clan.... Even without the reward, whatever it is, I would still have freed them..', his eyes narrowed a bit as the thought continued, 'I have always thought that there should be more to them. Considering their True Origins, nearly all of them should have the potential to reach Origin Returning, if not Origin King Realm easily. But....*sigh* whatever, I'll know when I evaluate them.'
'As for the Seal. There are still a few years for it to be released.', Yang Feng thought while looking at the night sky above him. "Inventory."

Yang Feng looked at the growing list with a surprised look. The top most items were only the significant ones and it was filled with many, many other items. Most of which he had gained from his 'adventures' or were 'given' to him by some 'generous' people, like those from the Cheng Family.
If all these items were rounded up, Yang Feng would be richer than any 2nd Order Forces, it might be on par with a few middle ranked 1st Order Forces as well. Like come on, Low-Grade Saint Crystals are in themselves too rare a commodity in Tong Xuan Realm but he alone had a great amount of them for himself.
In the past three years, he had only used around 6,000 Low-Grade Saint Crystals, including the ones he gave to Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang and a few he gave to Meng Wu Ya as well. But he still had more than he had used. Not to mention that he had gained 5,000 High-Grade Saint Crystals and hadn't used them.
So just relaying on these, his wealth surpassed anyone on Tang Xuan Realm. Shaking his head and closing the inventory tab, Yang Feng thought wearily, 'I should clean that up a bit when I have the chance.'
He then continued to look at the stars shining in the night sky. It was as if he was trying to look beyond it. Yang Feng subconsciously spoke, "The Starry Sky.."
"What are you muttering about?", Just then a sweet voice sounded from near Yang Feng, breaking him out of his thoughts. Yang Feng turned his eyes to look at Su Yan who had just finished a bath in the lake and was walking towards him in her usual blue robes.
Yang Feng smiled and said, "just thinking about what to do next." Su Yan hummed and laid down next to him.
"And, what have you decided?", she asked curiously while looking at the sky as well, taking in the calm and beautiful scene in front of her eyes.
Yang Feng didn't answer for a few minutes. He then simply spoke, "...A few things." Su Yan turned her head to look at his face, seeing the look she knew all too well, the face he made when thinking about something important, she sighed fondly before shifting slightly to lay her soft body on his muscular one.
"... Just know that whatever you choose to do. I'll always be there.", Su Yan spoke after a wrapping her arms around his chest. Yang Feng came out of his thoughts and hearing her words, raised his hands to stoke her hair and hug her waist. "I don't doubt it at all."
The two continued to lay like that before closing their eyes to take a light sleep.
...
The next morning, Yang Feng and Su Yan readied themselves before Su Yan took down the barrier around the lake. But the two didn't leave and stayed there.
As they had expected, a few minutes later, a group of Transendants came flying towards them. Yang Feng glanced at them as they reached in front of them.
The people in group were the sect master and elders of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion. The group looked at the two youths with weary eyes. They could all tell just from the auras of the two that they were both 3rd Order Transcendant.
The Sect Master, who was also a 3rd Order Transcendant, could however tell that the two were much stronger than him, even if they were in the same realm.
After a few seconds of analysing, the sect master cupped his hands and asked with a small smile, "Greeting Fellow daoists, my name is Chen Zhou, the sect master of Dragon Phoenix Pavilion. May I know who two friends are."
Yang Feng was a bit amused at the site. Considering that they had, in all honesty, infiltrated their sect and had gotten their sect's inheritance, the sect master still had to show such welcoming behavior. But he also knew that this was because of his strength. If he wasn't stronger than the other side, he would have likely been forced to stay, dead or alive.
Yang Feng spoke with a smile, "So it's Sect Master Chen. This one is named Yang Feng and this here is my wife, Su Yan.", He introduced himself and Su Yan. Not using any fake identity because it wasn't needed nor did he liked to do so.
The sect master nodded before he asked with a slightly weary manner, "So it's brother Yang. Brother Yang, I must inform you that this place belongs to my sect and contains it's long-standing inheritance. Brother Yang should know what I am talking about, right?"
Yang Feng observed the weary and severe expressions of the group and answered, his voice mixed with amusement and slight indifference, "Naturally, I do know what Brother Chen is talking about. In fact, I stayed here to talk to Brother Chen for the exact same thing."
Hearing Yang Feng's words and his tone of slight indifference, the groups hearts sank. From what they could tell, the young man in front of them didn't think of them as a challenge and from his words, they only found him because he himself wanted them to find him.
Thinking back to how there was no one was at the mountain after the barrier was dropped, they knew that it was probably true.
The sect master asked Yang Feng with gloomy expressions, "and what does Brother Yang proposes?". Yang Feng smiled and said, "the inheritance of your sect was originally someone else's. I had gained a part of it a few years back. It was also the reason why I came here, to get what was mine."
Yang Feng's words echoed into the group's ears and just as they wanted to retort Yang Feng's arrogant words, Yang Feng continued, "Now, although I can't give you the inheritance of your sect back. I can give you something that can help the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion a chance to rise again."
The group which was just about to erupt, calmed down a bit. They knew that it might be too difficult, if not outright impossible, to get back the inheritance, especially if what the young man had said about gaining a part of it outside their sect. They didn't doubt his words as they knew that the inheritance was not complete and that a part of it was lost a long time ago.
So, Yang Feng himself thinking of providing them with some compensation was a great thing for them. But ... That depended on what Yang Feng plans to compensate them with.
The Sect Master asked Yang Feng with skeptical expression, not even trying to hide it, "and can Brother Yang tell me what it is that you can provide us to gain such a result?", though he was skeptical, the sect master still felt a very faint hope that something good might come his way.
Yang Feng internally nodded in satisfaction and took out a scroll from the Universe bag attached to his robes. He still used it as it would be counted as weird and something 'worth studying', for a few people, about how he summons things out of thin air without a Universe Bag, which was the only known Spatial Storage Device in Tong Xuan Realm.
Seeing the scroll that Yang Feng offered to him, Chen Zhou took it and slowly opened it after checking it thoroughly. As Chen Zhou read the contents of the scroll, his body started to shake as his eyes widened. He lowered the scroll and looked at Yang Feng with wide eyes.
Yang Feng said with a sly smile, "this is an improved version of your sects foundation cultivation technique. With this, the limit of your sect's technique wouldn't be Transcendent, but Saint Realm. If you're lucky, you might even reach the Peak of the Saint Grade."
Yang Feng had once used his Spatial Scenes and Divine Sense to read the techniques in this sect. He then found that their sect's main cultivation technique was just a super downgraded version of Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art.
So, Yang Feng with his knowledge and experience of using a much more profound technique than the Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art itself, improved the technique.
With this technique reaching the Saint King was possible, but only for the super talented ones. As for reaching higher, it was sadly not possible as the core of the technique revolved around The Dragon and The Phoenix Source's, which were naturally impossible for these people to get.
