Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”Elder Changhe, I’m going into seclusion for a while. I’ll have to rely on you and the Lu Family to watch over the Profound Sun Continent.”

Yang Xiao, completely unaware that killing Ao Fengyun had brought disaster upon him, spoke to Lu Changhe.

”Rest assured, Saint Prince. The Lu Family and I will absolutely not disappoint Your Highness. By the way, Your Highness’s cultivation is still too low at the moment. If you are entering seclusion to raise your cultivation, why not go to our Lu Family Secret Realm?”

Lu Changhe suggested.

Yang Xiao’s interest was piqued.

But then he shook his head.

His cultivation path was limited by the advancement of his Heaven and Earth Origin Fire. However, Lu Changhe had just reminded him of something.

’Now that I’m the Human Race’s Common Lord of the Profound Sun Continent, shouldn’t its treasures be mine to claim first? I no longer need Cold Yin Spirit Fires. What I’m missing are five types of Supreme Yang Spirit Fire. I wonder how many I can find on this continent?’

Along his journey, Yang Xiao had obtained five types of Cold and Dark Flame from the Earth Evil Flame Cave, Yue Lingxi, the Purple Flame Sect, Ye Wanyu, and Lu Changsheng, respectively.

Among them, the most profound were Yue Lingxi’s Taiyin Spirit Fire and Lu Changsheng’s Devouring Demon Flame. Coupled with the Yin Divine Fire he had long since obtained from the Taoyan God King’s Lifebound Divine Fire, he could already reach Perfection in the Green Flame stage.

Now, he only lacked five types of Supreme Yang Spirit Fire, as he had already obtained the final Supreme Yang Divine Fire at Flame Mountain. This Divine Fire was no weaker than the Yang Fire within the Taoyan God King’s Yin Yang Origin Divine Fire—in fact, it even seemed a bit stronger.

It could naturally be used as the breakthrough Divine Fire for the final stage.

Therefore, all Yang Xiao needed now was to find five more Supreme Yang Spirit Fires. With some more time and a vast expenditure of resources, he could then advance directly from his current Green Flame Fifth Revolution to the Peak of the Cyan Flame Sixth Revolution, shoring up the weakness in his cultivation.

’Even though the Peak of Cyan Flame Sixth Revolution is only equivalent to the Great Divine Power Realm Sixth Stage Peak, it’s still a respectable level. Moreover, my physique will probably transform directly from its current Low-grade Treasure Body to an Ultimate-grade Treasure Body. With that, plus my age in this life, I’d be qualified to enter any Divine Courtyard, even without factoring in any combat power.’

Yang Xiao’s mind raced.

There was a huge gap between his cultivation and his combat power. However, the vast majority of that power came from external forces, not his own inherent strength.

For instance, ninety-nine percent of his current Tier Three True God strength came from the power of humanity’s collective will. If someone were to realize this and slaughter every living being on the Profound Sun Continent, his strength would instantly plummet by ninety-nine percent, knocking him right out of the True God realm.

With his current cultivation and Physical Strength, even if he used every Secret Technique and method at his disposal, he would probably only be equivalent to a Demigod Peak.

Before a True God, that was nothing.

But if he could obtain the five Supreme Yang Spirit Fires and elevate his internal Heaven and Earth Origin Flame to the Cyan Flame Sixth Revolution, his own inherent power could likely shatter the True God bottleneck and allow him to step into the Tier One True God realm.

’Even if I fall a little short, it probably won’t be by much.’

With this thought, Yang Xiao’s desire for the Supreme Yang Spirit Fires became much more urgent.

He opened his mouth and said, ”Elder Changhe, there is indeed a matter I hope to receive your and the Lu Family’s help with.”

”Please instruct me, Saint Prince.”

Lu Changhe remained respectful.

”My cultivation requires five types of Supreme Yang Spirit Fire. I was wondering if you, Elder Changhe, or the Lu Family know where such Spiritual Objects might be found on the Profound Sun Continent?”

”Supreme Yang Spirit Fires? And you need five of them?”

Lu Changhe was suddenly astonished.

Spirit Fires were not Mortal Flames. Any single one could alter the landscape of an entire region and bring about all sorts of strange phenomena. Therefore, if one appeared, it would likely have been discovered long ago.

And any Spirit Fire that remained undiscovered, or was discovered but not taken, probably possessed either exceptionally powerful abilities or extremely high intelligence.

However, since the Saint Prince had asked, Lu Changhe said, ”Rest assured, Saint Prince. I will inform Elder Long of this matter. With Elder Long’s means, we might not be able to gather all five Supreme Yang Spirit Fires, but I’m certain we can find one or two.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

”Then I’ll have to trouble you, Elder Changhe.”

Even though he might not get all five, even one or two would be a massive help to Yang Xiao.

After all, a journey is taken one step at a time, and a meal is eaten one bite at a time. You can’t rush things. Besides, Yang Xiao didn’t want to break through to the next realm directly anyway; he still had to cultivate the Nine Yang Celestial Skill.

Just like now.

He needed to finish cultivating the seventy-two Small Divine Techniques recorded in the Nine Yang Celestial Skill before he could form the Supreme Divine Pill.

And when he cultivated to the Peak of Cyan Flame Third Revolution, he would similarly have to cultivate thirty-six Great Divine Techniques to be able to form the Nine Yang Celestial Skill’s Supreme Divine Aspect.

Of course, at the peak of each revolution, just like in Yang Xiao’s current state, he also needed time to use the Essence Qi born from the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire to temper his own physical body and spirit.

He also needed to constantly hone his power, so that under the fusion of the Emperor Golden Dragon Secret Technique, his Physical Strength, Power of Aura, and Spiritual Power could merge together more harmoniously.

All of this took time.

Yang Xiao was in no hurry.

So, Yang Xiao’s plan was to return to the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion and go into seclusion.

Cultivate the seventy-two Divine Techniques.

Form the Supreme Divine Pill in one go.

And break through to the Small Divine Ability Realm.

Meanwhile, after receiving his task from Yang Xiao, Lu Changhe began sending a voice transmission to the Lu Family.

His confident promise of one or two just now was no empty boast. It was because the Lu Family possessed at least three types of Supreme Yang Spirit Fire.

It was just that Lu Changhe couldn’t make the final decision, which was why he only promised one or two.

But in his opinion, given how highly Elder Long regarded Yang Xiao, while they might not be able to produce five Supreme Yang Spirit Fires, they would definitely offer two. Perhaps they might even offer three.

With this in mind, Lu Changhe naturally dared to make the promise.

But just as the two were preparing to head to the Eastern Domain, with Lu Changhe having already torn open a rift in the void...

At that moment.

A terrifying aura descended from the sky.

Nine cyan firebirds, pulling an incomparably magnificent Phoenix Carriage, charged straight toward Yang Xiao and Lu Changhe.

The sheer force of their approach.

Made Lu Changhe’s face drain of color.

He could tell that any one of these nine cyan firebirds possessed power that was no weaker than his own, and was perhaps even stronger.

They were outmatched.

”Saint Prince, we have to leave here, quickly!”

With a flicker of movement, Lu Changhe grabbed Yang Xiao, intending to pull him into the void rift and escape.

But Yang Xiao just shook his head.

”We can’t escape. The surrounding void has been sealed. Quickly, send a Soul message back to the Lu Family. Let’s hope it’s not too late.”

Yang Xiao’s expression was also exceptionally grave.

If it were just nine firebirds with impure bloodlines, he wouldn’t be the least bit afraid.

With his Fire Control Talent, no matter how many came, they would be forced to their knees!

But the person in the Phoenix Carriage...

If his senses weren’t mistaken, was a peerless expert at the level of a Tier Seven Divine Marquis.

No matter how confident Yang Xiao was,

at this moment, he knew he was no match for them.

He wouldn’t even be able to fight back!

Yang Xiao’s expression instantly darkened.
