Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”Young Master! Master, are you two alright?”

The moment she appeared, Yun’Er rushed toward Yang Xiao and Nangong Tianling. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw they were unharmed.

These past few days in the Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace had terrified her.

She was deathly afraid that something might happen to her Young Master.

Especially just now, when Nangong Tianling had appeared in the Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace covered in injuries. Though she hadn’t said anything, that very silence made Yun’Er even more worried.

Fortunately,

it wasn’t long before

Yang Xiao took Nangong Tianling out.

And he let her out as well.

If it had been for any longer,

Yun’Er was afraid she wouldn’t have been able to bear it.

But from the looks of it now,

everyone was fine.

This was truly wonderful.

”You were terrified, weren’t you?”

Yang Xiao gently stroked her small head. Seeing her stick out her tongue, he thought she was absolutely adorable.

”Mhm.”

Yun’Er nodded, staring at Yang Xiao. She hesitated for a moment before saying, ”Young Master, can you promise me one thing?”

”What is it?”

Yang Xiao was a little puzzled.

”In the future, no matter what happens, please don’t hide me away, okay? I want to face everything with you, Young Master, even if it’s a hopeless situation.”

Hearing these words,

Yang Xiao’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

Especially when he saw the expectant look in Yun’Er’s eyes.

Yang Xiao knew that these were her true feelings.

After a moment of silence,

he smiled.

And with that smile, he nodded.

”That’s wonderful! Young Master, you won’t go back on your promise, will you?”

Yun’Er jumped for joy.

She threw her arms around Yang Xiao, her words laced with worry.

”I won’t.”

He spoke these two words with exceptional resolve.

Because Yang Xiao had already thought it through.

Whether it was Xue Yi, Yue Lingxi, or anyone else,

none of them were as sincere toward him as the little girl before him.

That’s right.

It was sincerity.

Xue Yi had saved him, which could be considered genuine and heartfelt, but her heart wasn’t sincere. That’s why she left, and the second time, she simply didn’t show up.

Yue Lingxi had helped him, which could be considered loyal and righteous, but her heart wasn’t sincere either. That’s why she would forget him, and even develop the intent to kill him.

Of course,

Yang Xiao didn’t blame them.

Because those were their own choices, their own inner thoughts. It wasn’t about right or wrong; it just left him feeling a little frustrated.

But it was also for this very reason

that Yun’Er’s value became all the more apparent.

Because this girl

placed him in her heart, considering him more important than herself.

’If I betray such devotion, I’d be unworthy of being human.’

Yang Xiao thought to himself.

As he thought this, his gaze toward the girl grew increasingly gentle.

This time,

Yun’Er couldn’t quite take it.

She lowered her head,

her face blushing beet red.

Seeing this, Nangong Tianling smiled faintly. She felt her words had had an effect.

She immediately took a step forward and said, ”The crisis has been resolved, and the Third Young Master has left. Yun’Er, do you remember what I said a year ago when I took you away? I said that once you achieve the Five Elements Treasure Body, you would be able to help your Young Master. Now is the time.”

As soon as these words were spoken,

Yun’Er trembled all over.

Her little face was completely flushed.

She kept her head down,

not answering.

But inside, her heart was filled with anticipation.

She had been waiting for this day

for a very long time.

”Yang Xiao, Yun’Er has already agreed. Aren’t you going to take her? Are you planning to do it here?”

Nangong Tianling continued to urge him on.

Yang Xiao was speechless.

However,

he had let go of his reservations. After all, he was very curious about the mysteries of the Holy Spirit Body. As for dual cultivation?

To be on the safe side,

Yang Xiao wouldn’t engage in a deeper exchange with Yun’Er.

Such as a blending of their Heart Spirits.

But a blending of auras

was acceptable.

Because, by comparison, he had already blended auras with Yue Lingxi, Xue Yi, and even Huang Tianling and Ye Wanyu once or even multiple times.

There was no reason, when it came to Yun’Er,

that it should suddenly be unacceptable.

Therefore,

Yang Xiao no longer refused. He stepped forward and pulled the shy Yun’Er to his side.

With a flash,

they disappeared.

They entered a quiet chamber within the Heaven-Fighting Divine Palace.

And began to blend their auras.

Seeing the joyful look on Yun’Er’s face,

Yang Xiao felt

that he hadn’t made the wrong choice this time.

If he had refused again,

he was afraid it would have caused immense pain to this girl who was so devoted to and full of admiration for him.

’If I’d refused again this time, she would have definitely thought I didn’t want her, that I looked down on her. In that case...’

And as his aura surged into her,

Yun’Er’s body trembled.

But immediately after, the Five Elements Holy Spirit Qi within her body surged out to meet it.

It intertwined with the aura Yang Xiao released.

Evidently,

Nangong Tianling had already told her

how to blend auras.

And at this moment, Yang Xiao officially came into contact with the secrets of the Holy Spirit Body.

’Release the auras from the five Five Elements Divine Pills, blend them with hers, and then use Void Power to constantly probe and touch, to see if I can discover the secret of how the Holy Spirit Body can cultivate any attribute and any power.’

With a thought,

Yang Xiao focused his full attention.

Just like that,

the five Divine Pills in his body representing the Power of Five Elements continuously released their power, blending with the Five Elements Holy Spirit Qi in Yun’Er’s body. In an instant, Yang Xiao felt his own Power of Five Elements, which had already reached its limit, actually begin to grow again.

It had to be known

that his Five Elements Divine Pills had been infused with the Chaos Secret Pattern, making them much stronger than ordinary ones. The Heaven and Earth Origin Fire Element Divine Pill, in particular, was several times stronger than a Fire Element Divine Aspect at the Great Divine Power Realm Ninth Stage Peak. His second strongest, the Gold Element Origin Divine Pill, was also comparable in power to a Gold Element Divine Aspect at the Great Divine Power Realm Ninth Stage Peak.

His remaining three elemental Divine Pills were only comparable to same-element Divine Aspects at the Seventh Level of Great Divine Power Realm or higher.

It could be said that they were incredibly formidable.

They had already reached the limits of ordinary Divine Pills.

But now,

under the effect of the Five Elements Holy Spirit Qi, they were continuously growing stronger.

What was even more amazing was,

’This Five Elements Holy Spirit Qi is actually giving my Wood, Water, and Earth element Divine Pills a power similar to the Gold Element Origin Divine Pill? Could this be the secret of the Holy Spirit Body?’

A thought stirred in Yang Xiao’s mind.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter.

The aura from his body delved even deeper into Yun’Er’s constitution.

And similarly,

because Yang Xiao’s Five Elements Divine Pills had all been forged by fusing with a complete Heart of Secret Patterns, Yun’Er’s Power of Five Elements also began to rise rapidly.

Originally,

on the Five Elements Secret Pattern, she had at most only reached the Third Layer.

But now,

it was growing with incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, they had all been elevated to the First Layer, and with every bit of improvement, her Holy Spirit Body grew stronger, to the point where there were even faint signs of advancement.

This also allowed Yang Xiao,

at this moment,

to glimpse more of the secrets of the Holy Spirit Body,

and obtain even greater benefits.

However,

just as Yang Xiao and Yun’Er were cultivating together, each obtaining greater benefits,

outside the Star God Academy,

a certain person arrived.

An old acquaintance.
