Summer vacation is undoubtedly a precious time for rest and entertainment for most students, but for Juna, this period holds special significance.
Standing at the majestic gates of Nodding Soul Master Junior College, her gaze traversed the bustling student activity area, finally settling on the glorious sunset in the distant horizon.
"Douluo Continent" The plot in the book has reached this point, and not much else will happen during this time. She can also take a good trip back to "Phoenix reborn from the ashes". After all, everything has come to an end. It was indeed inappropriate to leave home with just a letter last time.
"This time coming home, I can't just leave a letter hastily like before and then leave," Juna silently contemplated in her heart.
She turned around and found Tang San and Xiao Wu enthusiastically chatting with other students at the door. Despite treasuring their friendship, she planned to use this summer vacation for more self-improvement.
"Tang San, Xiao Wu, I wish you both a happy summer vacation. I have to leave ahead of you to take care of some things," Juna said with a smile as she bid them farewell.
"Juna, where are you planning to go? Aren't you leaving with us?" Tang San asked with a hint of regret.
"There are some things that need me to go home and take care of, but please don't worry, I will definitely come back." Juna had a mysterious and confident smile on her face, then turned and left.
Walking out of the school gate, she crossed the bustling Nodding City district and set off in the direction of her family.
However, deep down in her heart, she knew that this return home was not just for a family reunion, but also concealed another, even more important, goal.
Wearing simple casual clothes, Juna sits in a wooden carriage pulled by a strong brown horse. As the sun gradually leans westward, the golden evening sunbeam shines through the carriage window, casting light on her face and making her emerald eyes even more radiant.
The wheels of the carriage turned extremely slowly, and every time they made contact with the road, they emitted a "creak" of axle friction.
Despite the ever-changing scenery outside the window, Juna's inner state was far from calm.
Finally, after a journey that was neither short nor long, the carriage slowly entered a city that was both elegant and magnificent.
On either side of the city gate stood two towering stone pillars, and behind them, a delicate signboard was engraved with three large characters - "Phoenix City".
This is the core territory of the Nirvana Phoenix clan, and also the hometown where Juna grew up.
On both sides of the city streets, vendors selling flowers and food are constantly shouting, and the prosperity is not inferior to Nodding City.
But first, she needs to make a trip to Sunset Forest, which is not only suitable for training, but also a place she used to visit often with her father, holding special meaning for her.
Not long after, Juna arrived at a place called Sunset Forest, which she specifically chose as a secluded training ground.
The forest is filled with a strong natural atmosphere, where the scent of trees and various wild animals intertwine. However, the most captivating aspect is the golden sunset, which illuminates the entire forest like daylight.
"The atmosphere is simply the perfect place for practice." Juna took a deep breath and began to search for a suitable place to practice.
Finally, she arrived at a clearing surrounded by ancient trees, the ground covered with soft moss, like a mini theater carefully crafted by nature.
"If you want to break through to the twentieth level, you must first identify your own shortcomings." With this understanding, Juna sat down and entered a state of meditation.
In her meditation, she saw the figures of Tang San and Xiao Wu in her mind, and began to contemplate the unique qualities they possessed and the ones she lacked. Tang San's wisdom and unique skills, as well as Xiao Wu's agility and vibrant personality, all became her goals to pursue.
"Tang San, Xiao Wu, wait for me to come back. My soul power level will definitely not be the last place again!" Juna silently made a vow in his heart.
Following that, Juna began practicing the internal martial arts technique "Spiritual Heart Secret." She felt a warm flow rising from her lower abdomen, passing through all the meridians in her body, and finally converging in her palms.
"It's time to try out the Cloud Mist Fairy Sword technique." Juna stood up and unfastened the short sword from her waist.
Suddenly, a strong sense of danger surged through her. She looked up and met the eyes of a huge wolf.
"Just in time. I'll test my new martial arts on you," Juna said coldly, pointing her short sword at the giant wolf in front of her.
The wolf let out a low growl and suddenly pounced towards Juna. Without hesitation, she swung her sword to meet the attack. With a swift "swoosh" and a flash of the sword, the wolf fell to the ground.
Juna smiled faintly, sheathed her sword, and continued her training.
As the afternoon passed, Juna found that her soul power had significantly increased, which made her feel very happy.
Juna took a deep breath, feeling the flow of spiritual power within her body with satisfaction. In the dark night, Sunset Forest resembled a quiet ink painting, and she was the young Soul Master who was just beginning to show her edge in this painting.
Suddenly, she remembered the "Art of Spells - Divine Weapon Illusionism" that she had learned before crossing over.
"In the previous world, I have never successfully summoned Heavenly soldiers or divine generals. I wonder if it will work here?" She muttered softly to herself, then took out a yellow talisman and a calligraphy brush from her pocket.
Slowly, Juna began to write incantations on the talisman. Her hand traced complex patterns in the air, as if each stroke concealed an unfathomable power. After finishing, she bit her finger, letting three drops of blood fall onto the talisman.
"Heavenly Generals and Mighty Soldiers, appear!" With her loud shout, the talisman was immediately torn to shreds.
In an instant, the entire forest seemed to resonate with this power. Juna felt the sudden change in the surrounding atmosphere, and a dazzling light burst from the fragments, illuminating the forest as if it were daytime.
Next, a heavenly soldier dressed in golden armor and wielding a long spear appeared in front of her.
"Master, do you have any instructions?" the heavenly soldier humbly asked.
Juna was slightly shocked for a moment, but quickly revealed a satisfied smile.
"So, it's true that I can successfully summon you in this world. That's great. Now, come with me, but first, hide your presence."
"Understood, master," the heavenly soldier nodded obediently.
"The summer vacation has just begun, and I have plenty of time. But first, I need to go home, at least to let my family know that I am still alive in this world."
Juna stood up, and her figure gradually disappeared into the dimness of Sunset Forest.
The carriage finally arrived at a huge blue gate. A graceful wooden sign hung on the gate pivot, skillfully embroidered with three striking characters in golden thread - "The Flaming Palace".
Juna quickly pushed open the carriage door and lightly jumped down. She handed a handful of silver coins to the coachman and swiftly stepped through the gate without waiting for him to speak.
As soon as she stepped into the mansion, Juna immediately sensed an unusual and unsettling atmosphere.
"Juna, you're finally back," a young man walked towards her. He was Juna's younger brother, named Zhu Yu.
"Hi, Zhu Yu, how did this eerie atmosphere come about?" Juna tried to inquire about the situation.
Zhu Yu responded with a serious expression, "Sister, the situation is not very good. Since you left, our family has encountered some major problems."
"What exactly happened?" When Juna heard this, her heart suddenly tightened.
After a brief hesitation, Zhu Yu finally spoke: "It's my father, he has passed away."
Juna felt a sudden shock in her heart and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhu Yu bit her lip and said in a deep voice, "It was during a conflict with The Hidden Dragon Clan that my father received a fatal blow."
Juna almost lost consciousness due to anger. Now she finally understood why she had that ominous feeling when she returned home.
"Zhu Yu, we need to uncover the truth, and at the same time, I will make those who hurt us pay the price they deserve," Juna's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Sister, I stand by your side. But there are troubles within the family as well. Someone is sowing discord, plotting to take over the leadership of the family."
Juna understands clearly that this is definitely related to her sudden departure from home. She immediately responds, "Don't let anyone know that I've returned for now. I need some time to prepare, and then I will come back to resolve the family's issues."
Zhu Yu nodded, "I understand, sister."
Juna walked into her room and gently closed the door, but her heart was in turmoil. She missed Tang San and Xiao Wu, and also thought about the family mission she had to bear in this world.
Unlike her identity as Yunxuan of Yunxian Sect, this time she - Juna - had once spent time with this father. She is determined to make the enemy who disrespected her father pay the price they deserve.
After returning home, Juna first went to look for her mother, a woman with both elegance and determination.
"Nana, you're finally back. I missed you so much," her mother said emotionally, tears welling up as she hugged her tightly.
"Mother, I've learned about father's situation from my brother. I've learned a lot outside, and now I've become stronger, enough to protect you and our people," Juna responded, full of confidence.
"That's great, I've always known that my daughter is outstanding," the mother replied with a tone of satisfaction, despite the sadness on her face.
Afterwards, Juna went to the family's library, where various ancient books on family cultivation were stored. She hoped to find more information that could help her improve her skills.
Flipping through one ancient text after another, Juna finally settled on a book called "rebirth through fire." The book detailed the unique martial arts of Nirvana Phoenix clan.
"This is exactly the information I need!" Juna exclaimed joyfully as she firmly grasped the book.
