Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

’Although I haven’t had a substantial breakthrough, these Greater Yang Secret Patterns, combined with the ones from that Treasure Long Spear just now, are enough for me to comprehend the next level of Greater Yang Secret Patterns.’

’Paired with the Nine Yang Secret Pattern, it’s enough to raise my internal True Greater Yang Fire by another Half Grade.’

Yang Xiao was ecstatic.

The True Greater Yang Fire in his body was currently at the Lower Eighth Grade. Another Half Grade would bring it to the Upper Eighth Grade.

One should not underestimate this Half Grade.

The difference in power between the two was several dozen-fold.

However, the Star Secret Pattern was missing, and the Greater Yang Secret Pattern was also incomplete.

Even if Yang Xiao reached the Upper Eighth Grade, he would just barely make it, but its power would still be nearly ten times what it was now.

At that time, his Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique would advance even further.

His own fundamental destructive power would also be greatly enhanced.

It was an opportunity to improve his strength in almost every aspect.

Naturally, Yang Xiao was pleased.

His Heart Spirit enveloped the three Light Arrows, allowing him to see them with perfect clarity.

Within his thoughts, he meticulously comprehended them.

Meanwhile, Lu Fangliang, who had summoned the Greater Yang God Arrows, wore a cautious expression.

Ever since his Talent Treasure Technique awakened, he knew very well that the power of the Greater Yang God Arrow was unstoppable. If he were facing Immortal Dao Demons, he naturally wouldn’t hold back in the slightest.

But before him now was a friend who could walk shoulder-to-shoulder with him among their peers, a friend who was perhaps even stronger than himself.

Lu Fangliang naturally had to be cautious.

”Be careful, I’m starting.”

Lu Fangliang gave him a heads-up.

Yang Xiao, however, was completely absorbed in the Secret Patterns of the Greater Yang God Arrows behind Lu Fangliang. With his current Spiritual Power at the limit of Observing Micro, he was far stronger than when he had previously forced his way into Observing Micro High Level.

Many details he hadn’t noticed before were now being discovered one by one.

He naturally didn’t have the energy to explain this to Lu Fangliang.

He just nodded.

Lu Fangliang, however, thought Yang Xiao was ready. Without further hesitation, he waved his hand, and a Light Arrow was instantly activated.

It shot toward Yang Xiao.

Its speed was like a flash of light.

Yang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

He sensed an immense crisis.

He instantly knew he couldn’t dodge it.

He couldn’t even escape.

That left him with only one move.

The Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique.

The True Greater Yang Fire in his body surged into the Divine Power Seed. In an instant, a Golden Light flared up, protecting the space three feet in front of Yang Xiao.

And at that very moment, Lu Fangliang’s Greater Yang God Arrow struck Yang Xiao’s chest, blocked by the golden barrier of light.

’That was close. And that was with Lu Fangliang holding back. If he had really wanted to kill me, I would have died from that last strike without a doubt.’

Cold sweat beaded on Yang Xiao’s forehead.

He knew that after successfully cultivating the Vajra Indestructible Body and possessing strength that made him nearly invincible in the Celestial Cloud Region, he had become a bit arrogant.

In a situation like that, he had still dared to divide his attention.

Instead of defending with his full strength.

He had been too conceited.

Fortunately, Lu Fangliang had no killing intent.

”What a great Divine Technique! I didn’t expect you to have something like this. No wonder you weren’t worried about my Greater Yang God Arrow. But you’d better be careful. The power of my Greater Yang God Arrow isn’t limited to just this.”

Lu Fangliang had been on edge, afraid he might hurt Yang Xiao.

But the moment he saw Yang Xiao use the Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique, he burst out laughing.

This guy really had some tricks up his sleeve.

It’s no wonder I think so highly of him.

He stopped holding back.

He was eager to test whether Yang Xiao’s defense was more formidable, or if his Greater Yang God Arrow’s attack was stronger.

Instantly, the pressure on Yang Xiao increased dramatically.

He could feel that the Greater Yang God Arrow piercing toward him had become even more terrifyingly powerful.

’This guy is seriously impressive. It’s a good thing we’re friends.’

Yang Xiao smiled to himself.

But he began to defend with all his might.

This time, although he was still observing the Secret Patterns within the Greater Yang God Arrow, he focused most of his Heart Spirit Power on defense.

He also wanted to see if his Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique had a limit.

And so,

one attacked, one defended.

The two of them quickly got serious.

In the end, even when Lu Fangliang used his full strength, his Greater Yang God Arrow failed to pierce Yang Xiao’s Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique.

In fact, he had an opportunity to break through.

It was just that Yang Xiao was too cunning.

He had actually achieved a breakthrough mid-battle.

He directly integrated the Secret Patterns from the Greater Yang God Arrow, along with the next stage of the Nine Yang Secret Pattern, into his Divine Power Seed. Instantly, the True Greater Yang Fire in Yang Xiao’s body rose by half a grade.

Its power soared.

Naturally, Lu Fangliang could no longer break through.

After all, his cultivation was still too weak, and his physique wasn’t fully developed. When his physique evolved and he had more Greater Yang Secret Patterns on his body, the power of his Talent Divine Techniques would naturally become even stronger.

”In the end, you still came out on top.”

This time, Lu Fangliang was thoroughly convinced and impressed.

No one had ever been able to block his Talent Divine Techniques before.

Yet now, this guy, a peer who looked even a few years younger, had actually blocked it.

He felt a great deal of admiration in his heart.

Seeing Lu Fangliang’s admiring expression, Yang Xiao felt a little embarrassed.

Because he owed his progress to this very guy.

If he hadn’t seen the Greater Yang Secret Patterns on him, his strength absolutely couldn’t have improved so quickly.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiao said, ”I can see you’re very interested in my Fist Technique. Would you like me to teach you?”

”You want to teach me your Fist Technique?”

Lu Fangliang was taken aback.

”That’s right. As they say, Spear Technique is like Fist Technique, and Fist Technique is like Spear Technique; the two have much in common. Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, your physique is the same as mine, a Fire Attribute. My fist art prioritizes lethality, destruction, and blazing aggression. If you learn it, both your Fist Technique and Spear Technique will improve. Do you want to learn?”

”I can’t accept this, I haven’t done anything to earn it…”

Lu Fangliang was indeed very tempted.

But, just as he said, he felt he didn’t deserve it.

Yang Xiao shook his head. ”Let’s not even talk about how you saved my father and the others, a great favor in itself. Just now, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have broken through. Enough talk. I don’t care if you want to learn or not. Watch closely. I’m only demonstrating it once.”

With that, Yang Xiao began to perform the fist art.

His fists looked very ordinary, each move direct and straightforward.

But upon closer inspection, they were endlessly profound.

It was as if they contained the fundamental principles of the universe.

This was the Flame Emperor Divine Fist that Yang Xiao had cultivated to attain the Dao in his previous life.

Seeing Yang Xiao’s generosity, Lu Fangliang was filled with gratitude and no longer refused.

’He treats me with sincerity, so I will treat him with sincerity. When I return to the Greater Yang God Palace, I must gift him a great opportunity as well, so as not to waste this friendship.’

He secretly made a decision in his heart.

Lu Fangliang began to watch intently.

As expected, he benefited immensely from watching.

He had many epiphanies.

And after Yang Xiao finished demonstrating the set of Fist Techniques,

Yang Xiao then explained its mysteries and techniques in detail, especially the Secret Patterns involved, holding nothing back. Although it wasn’t teaching him everything he knew, it gave Lu Fangliang a deep understanding of the Flame Emperor Divine Fist.

And under his guidance, Lu Fangliang began to develop his own style.

After all, while they seemed similar, their physiques were still different.

It was impossible for Lu Fangliang to learn the true Flame Emperor Divine Fist.

But based on it, creating his own Greater Yang God Fist was not a problem at all.

At the same time, in the process of teaching, Yang Xiao also gained a deeper understanding of the Greater Yang Secret Patterns that Lu Fangliang possessed.

He gained a deeper comprehension of the True Greater Yang Fire within his body.

Just like that, one taught and one learned, eventually exchanging knowledge to build on their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses. Three days quickly passed.

Only then did their exchange on Martial Arts conclude.

Both of them had gained a great deal.

During their exchange, Yang Xiao also learned that his father, Yun’Er, and the others had been taken to a secret location.

They were very safe.

Instantly, he felt even more grateful to Lu Fangliang.

He was also more convinced that teaching him the Flame Emperor Divine Fist was the right decision.

’Since they’re safe for now, I won’t go see them just yet. As for the Purple Sun Sect… I have to make a trip back. They actually dared to cooperate with the Medicine King Valley to make a move on my father. How could I, Yang Xiao, let them off?’

He snorted coldly in his heart.

Yang Xiao arranged a time and place for their next meeting with Lu Fangliang, then immediately flew off in the direction of the Purple Sun Sect.

This time, he was going to turn this ungrateful Sect upside down!
