Chapter 673 - 672: To Push or Not to Push?

"Are there any special Lands of Fire on the Star God Continent? The stranger the better. I need a powerful flame to cultivate my Divine Aspect."

With a specific goal in mind, Yang Xiao got straight to the point and asked Nangong Tianling.

If he could find the last Supreme Yang Divine Fire...

Yang Xiao could finally set his mind at ease.

He could then enter seclusion to comprehend his Divine Aspect. When the time came, he could elevate himself to the Peak of Cyan Flame Sixth Revolution in one go. With his profound foundation, it was even highly probable he could break through to Blue Flame.

And once he stepped into the Blue Flame level, he would be infinitely close to Purple Flame. The God Realm would no longer be far away.

Once he entered the True Divine Realm,

with his Combat Power and foundation,

Yang Xiao was confident he could contend with a Divine King even without the Divine General Talisman.

Naturally, this was something he cared about deeply.

"A Land of Fire? Condensing a Divine Aspect? Young Master, you... you’ve actually reached the Peak of Small Divine Power Realm?"

Nangong Tianling, who had been about to offer some more encouragement and a bit of a lecture, was taken aback by Yang Xiao’s question.

She froze.

She stared blankly at Yang Xiao.

If she recalled correctly, when Yang Xiao had first arrived a few days ago, wasn’t he only at the Small Divine Power Realm First Stage Peak?

How could this be?

She took a closer look.

And the woman was even more stunned.

Because she finally discovered it.

Yang Xiao’s constitution had changed.

He no longer possessed that dime-a-dozen Spirit Body. He now had a Treasure Body.

And it was an Upper-Grade Peak Treasure Body, bordering on Ultimate Grade!

This... this was considered the stuff of genius even in the entire Star God Academy.

Nangong Tianling was dumbfounded on the spot.

’How is this possible? Cultivation can be raised in an instant, but one’s constitution requires a heaven-sent fortune to change! Oh, right! The Young Master obtained the Divine General Talisman. That in itself is a tremendous stroke of luck! Perhaps he found some Body Tempering Liquid there, which is what allowed him to attain an Upper-Grade Peak Treasure Body!’

With that thought,

Nangong Tianling returned to her previous demeanor.

Inside, however, she was overjoyed.

An Upper-Grade Peak Treasure Body was already quite good. Although it couldn’t compare to those true geniuses who all possessed at least a Dao Body,

it was still a great deal stronger than the Spirit Body he had when she first met him.

In fact, the very reason a Treasure Body was called a "Treasure Body" was because it was already considered an outstanding aptitude.

Otherwise, why would it be named as such?

In all the world,

such individuals were few. Just like her—wasn’t she also someone with a mere Treasure Body?

But, thinking back to the Young Master’s earlier words,

she furrowed her brow.

"Young Master, condensing a Divine Aspect is a major undertaking. You carry the bloodline of the Star Emperor’s clan, and a very pure one at that. Cultivating a Star Divine Aspect is the proper path. A Fire Element Divine Aspect is acceptable, but it can only be supplementary. It would be best to fuse it with a Star Divine Aspect to cultivate a Star Fire Divine Aspect. That would be a good thing. Oh, right! I remember there’s a Cultivation Technique for the Supreme Starfire Dao in the scripture pavilion called the South Li Seven-Star Vermilion Bird Divine Aspect. It uses seven stars to form an Ancient Vermilion Bird Divine Aspect, which is far more powerful than an ordinary Vermilion Bird Divine Aspect. Moreover, it’s based on the Star Power of the seven southern constellations, so it should be the most suitable for your cultivation."

Once again, Nangong Tianling began making decisions for Yang Xiao.

To this,

Yang Xiao just smiled.

’I know my own business best.’

The Secret Techniques of the Star Lineage were powerful, but any of the Secret Patterns and Secret Techniques within his own body were no weaker—in fact, they were much stronger.

As for that so-called South Li Seven-Star Vermilion Bird Divine Aspect?

No matter how formidable it was,

it probably couldn’t compare to his own Nine Yang Celestial Wheel Divine Aspect.

Not to mention,

he now looked down on even the Nine Yang Celestial Wheel Divine Aspect from the Nine Yang Celestial Skill. Instead, he wanted to use all the Divine Pills in his body to forge an unparalleled, supreme Divine Aspect.

However, what Cultivation Technique to use as a foundation...

And how to go about it...

Yang Xiao still needed to consider these things.

But he wouldn’t say any of this to Nangong Tianling’s face.

Though the woman was a bit arrogant, her heart was ultimately on his side. There was no need to make her worry for nothing.

Just as Yang Xiao was thinking he needed to ponder this further or look up some information about the Star God Continent,

Nangong Tianling spoke up. "There are indeed places like the Land of Fire you mentioned. As far as I know, 30,000 li south of the academy, there is a mountain called Red Flame Mountain that possesses a rich fire nature. Even further south of Red Flame Mountain is the Ten Thousand Mile Desert. It is said that within this desert, there is a strange place containing the Seven-Colored Divine Fire. However, it is extremely dangerous and occupied by a Demon God, so you cannot go there lightly. If you just want to comprehend the South Li Seven-Star Vermilion Bird Divine Aspect, Red Flame Mountain should be sufficient."

"Seven-Colored Divine Fire?"

Yang Xiao’s eyes lit up instantly.

He began to smile.

Because he thought of a very powerful flame.

It seemed to match the description.

’If it’s really that flame, then my six types of Supreme Yang Flames will finally be gathered.’

As for the Demon God Nangong Tianling had mentioned,

Yang Xiao didn’t give it a second thought.

Although his cultivation was currently low, his Combat Power was not.

Leaving aside the Divine General Talisman,

his own cultivation was enough to kill a Tier Three True God.

A mere Demon God.

Perhaps it was very powerful in the eyes of the students at Star God Academy.

But in his eyes,

it was far too lacking.

However,

for some reason, Nangong Tianling was adamant that Yang Xiao enter Star God Academy and even test into some place called Star Emperor Academy.

At this,

he felt a headache coming on.

He couldn’t win the argument, so he could only relent.

Nangong Tianling’s face immediately lit up with excitement.

"Right! Although your cultivation is still a bit weak, it’s barely enough to apply for the Elite Disciple assessment. Once you succeed, you’ll be the same as Yun’Er. In the future, you two can travel together for training and so on. And don’t forget about the dual cultivation! Although you dodged trouble this time, there’s no guarantee it won’t attract more prying eyes. Yun’Er has a Holy Spirit Body, which will be of great benefit to you. Now is the perfect time. How about it? Why not just start blending your auras right now?"

The more Nangong Tianling spoke, the more she felt that having the two of them cultivate together immediately was the best course of action.

Listening to her, Yang Xiao found it truly hard to fend off.

He really wanted to flee for his life.

But on second thought...

The woman had a point.

Especially now, if the five Five Elements Divine Pills in his body could interact with the Five Spirits Sacred Qi in Yun’Er’s body, then both he and Yun’Er would receive immense benefits.

Perhaps.

They might even merge as one in a single stroke.

Moreover,

the Holy Spirit Body was said to be able to cultivate and accommodate any attribute.

This characteristic also made Yang Xiao quite curious.

’If I can comprehend the Mysteries of the Holy Spirit from this, it might be a huge help for the Divine Aspect I plan to forge in the future. This dual cultivation... it might not be a bad idea...’

Thinking this way,

Yang Xiao was actually a little tempted.

’What should I do?’

’Should I give it a try?’

Yang Xiao was in a dilemma.

With a thought, a graceful figure appeared before Yang Xiao.
