Under Liu Xi's leadership, not a single faction in the Jia Ma Empire dared to resist the formation of the Heavenly Alliance.
Once the foundation was set, all major powers joined one after another, actively pledging their strength. Since opposition was futile, they chose survival — joining under Liu Xi's rules to secure a place in the new order.
Of course, there were minor incidents. Not everyone was so willing. So still clung to deep loyalty toward their forr factions.
Rather than slaughter them and risk discontent within the alliance, Liu Xi simply dismissed those unwilling to cooperate. rcy earned more goodwill than bloodshed. And even if any dared to rebel, a flick of his hand would erase them — insignificant sparks under a rising storm.
Gradually, the Heavenly Alliance spread its influence across the entire Jia Ma Empire. Large and small forces alike joined one after another, contributing resources and counsel with forced enthusiasm.
After all, when a blade is pressed against your neck — joining becos the only choice.
Liu Xi also penned a personal letter to Gu He. It contained no pleasantries; there was little between them to reminisce about — rivals in both alchemy and love.
Instead, Liu Xi shared several of his own insights into 7th Tier Alchemy and the evolution of the Spiritual Power. That was enough to draw the once-discouraged Gu He back into the world.
Gu He had only two lifelong pursuits — alchemy and Yun Yun. With Yun Yun's heart already belonging to Liu Xi, only alchemy remained.
Faced with such an irresistible lure, even the disheartened Gu He took the bait and returned to serve as an Elder in the Alchemy Division, contributing to the Heavenly Alliance in exchange for higher-tier alchemical knowledge.
To raise morale, Liu Xi paid a hefty price. He sorted through all the treasures and inheritances he had gathered during his ti in the Central Plains and donated nearly everything of use to the Alliance.
Thirteen volus of Di Class Qi thods, eighty-six of Xuan Class, countless Huang Class techniques — and that was only the beginning.
For Liu Xi, these scrolls were re clutter, taking up space in his spatial ring. But for the Jia Ma cultivators, it was a divine boon.
Not only Qi thods — there were Dou Techniques, weapons, dicinal pills, and strange artifacts. The hall filled with gasps and admiration as the mbers praised their leader's unmatched generosity.
Inspired, the other factions also offered up their techniques and resources. Though none could compare with Liu Xi's contribution, the gesture itself greatly strengthened the unity of the Alliance.
Liu Xi only smiled faintly. These things had long gathered dust in his ring. Giving them away cost him nothing.
Once the structure of the Heavenly Alliance stabilized, Liu Xi handed over full control to Yun Yun, delegating all administrative duties to her.
Yun Yun's eyes nearly rolled out of her head — Liu Xi had insisted on creating the Alliance himself, only to abandon its managent the mont it was built.
Even so, she worked tirelessly to formalize the Heavenly Alliance, turning Liu Xi's rough frawork into a true organization. With fairness and authority, she redistributed resources, balancing every faction's influence.
Compared to Liu Xi, Yun Yun — once Sect Master of Yunlan Sect — was far more suited for leadership. Under her managent, the fledgling Heavenly Alliance quickly took on a well-ordered, disciplined structure.
And if anyone doubted her authority, the casual release of her 9-Star Dou Zong aura was enough to silence all dissent.
Satisfied that Yun Yun could manage everything, Liu Xi finally had ti for what he truly desired — to study and develop a new Qi thod.
His old Nine Nether Ghost Fla Technique was a Mid Level Di Class thod — once his strongest cultivation technique. But now, it could no longer keep up with his power.
It was ti to either replace it — or create anew.
Among the relics he'd seized from Elder Mu Gu's ring, Liu Xi found one called the Purgatory Fla Sealing Technique, a High Level Di Class Qi thod — the strongest he possessed.
Yet, it too had limits. And Liu Xi had long since learned: the best thod is the one that suits you. Thus, he chose the harder path — to craft his own.
He gathered every fire-attribute Qi thod in his possession: four Di Class scrolls, thirty-two Xuan Class scrolls, and countless Huang Class ones though the latter held little value for reference.
The purpose of a Qi thod, especially those aligned with fire, was to allow cultivators to sense, understand, and ultimately command the fla.
Fla was the essence of combustion, extending into forms like heat, explosion, and purification.
Ancestors once mastered fla, and from their understanding, they created Qi thods — so later generations could learn through structured comprehension.
But Liu Xi had long surpassed the level of those "later generations."
Having devoured six Heavenly Flas, his understanding of fire transcended all others. Even if his mastery wasn't absolute, his insight was unmatched.
If he were arrogant, he could have declared: "No one in this world understands fla better than I do."
Thus, the most difficult part of creating a Qi thod — comprehension — was not a challenge for him.
His limitation lay in the vessel. His body could absorb imnse fire-type energy, but existing thods could only convert a fraction of that into Dou Qi.
To fully harness his flas, he needed a thod designed for himself — one that could contain and harmonize all six Heavenly Flas.
So he began constructing a completely new network of ridian pathways. Comparing scrolls, cross-referencing, and deducing step by step, he assembled an intricate structure — like a mathematician proving an endless equation.
Each ridian route was tested, refined, and restructured. Errors were discarded; optimal paths preserved.
Thanks to his imnse Spiritual Power and absolute focus, the process, though complex, advanced smoothly.
Half a year later, atop the back mountain of Yunlan Sect —
Liu Xi sat cross-legged on a cliff peak, eyes closed, Dou Qi coursing through ridians as thick as dragons.
In the next mont, his Dou Qi contracted sharply, retreating into his dantian — then erupted like a raging dragon awakening, surging through the new ridian path.
The flow resembled the Nine Nether Ghost Fla Technique yet was far more intricate — hundreds of tis more refined and profound.
ridian after ridian lit up, forming an astonishing diagram of glowing pathways within his body.
When the vast Dou Qi completed a full circuit, a soft snap sounded within him — as if a shackle had broken.
Instantly, Yunlan Mountain trembled. The skies above quivered under an unseen pressure.
Then ca a violent gale. Boundless Heaven and Earth energy condensed above, forming a rolling ocean of misty light that spiraled downward.
That torrent of energy converged toward Liu Xi, drawn into him like a massive vortex.
He absorbed it without fear. The azure fla within his body burned fiercely, refining the chaotic energy. From a hundred parts of Heaven and Earth essence, he extracted one part of pure energy.
That essence ran through his new ridian network, completing a full circulation — then compressed once more into incredibly pure Dou Qi.
Liu Xi's eyes opened, a faint glimr flashing within.
'The 439th ridian formation route… finally succeeded.'
