Hearing the old man’s words, Xu Zii smiled and said, "What interests right now is how a martial artist from the Saint Vein Realm like you has managed to live from the Wild Desolation Era to the present."
"Give up, I won’t tell you anything," the old man said indifferently.
At this mont, a green light suddenly emitted from a leaf that Xu Zii had previously obtained in the secret realm, which was now inside his Storage Ring.
"He ingested the Leaf of Life before," the consciousness within the leaf said.
Xu Zii nodded and then said, "All right, let’s get back to the main point. Give that secret technique, and I will let you leave."
"I don’t know what secret technique you are referring to," the old man replied indifferently. "If it’s the Battle Body Fusion secret technique, you can forget about it."
"Are you still not willing to admit it," Xu Zii said with a smile. "In fact, you yourselves are well aware that the Battle Body Fusion secret technique is just a smokescreen.
Actually, you have been secretly researching a Twin Battle Bodies secret technique all along, haven’t you?"
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, the old man’s expression changed dramatically, and he stared intently at Xu Zii.
It should be noted that the Twin Battle Bodies secret technique was their clan’s secret, and other than the ten Yamas, the Nine Spirits God, and the Thirteen Saints, no one else could possibly know about it.
Even the mbers within their own Ancient Nether Tribe were unclear about such a secret technique.
The old man felt a shiver down his spine; he had no idea how Xu Zii had co to know of it.
Could there have been a high-level betrayal within the tribe? But upon further consideration, it seed impossible. They all had journeyed together from the Wild Desolation Era to the present.
They shared the sa aspirations and dreams and would never betray each other for any reason.
...…
"How did you co to know of this?" the old man asked indifferently.
At this stage, he also understood that there was no point in hiding it any longer.
"That’s not important," Xu Zii shook his head and replied. "We are not enemies; perhaps we could try to work together."
Xu Zii was determined to get the Twin Battle Bodies secret technique. This technique could allow a person to possess two great Battle Bodies at the sa ti.
Most crucially, these two Battle Bodies are not entirely fused into the physical body.
For soone like Xu Zii, who had already fused with the first Battle Body, fusing with additional Battle Bodies would actually not have much effect anymore.
However, this Twin Battle Bodies technique was related to the mysteries beyond the Saint Vein Realm.
After advancing to the Saint Vein Realm, martial artists could possess a fully ford Divine Soul.
As long as the Divine Soul is not extinguished, even the gravest of injuries can be healed.
This Twin Battle Bodies secret technique is actually about the Divine Soul.
Ordinary people fuse Battle Bodies within their physical bodies, but this Twin Battle Bodies technique not only allows your original body to fuse with a Battle Body but also helps your Divine Soul to fuse with another from the Hundred Great Battle Bodies.
Just think, since the advent of the Hundred Great Battle Bodies, there has never been a case where a person’s Divine Soul and physical body could simultaneously fuse with two Battle Bodies.
With the enhancent of a Battle Body, a martial artist’s Divine Soul will gain substantial increases in both defensive and offensive power.
It’s no exaggeration to say that once this secret technique erges, it will beco the main cultivation system throughout the entire Yuan Central Continent.
Even among martial artists of the Saint Vein Realm, the combat power is completely on a different level depending on whether the Divine Soul has fused with a Battle Body or not.

"This is a secret technique my clan has researched over a million years at a great cost," the old man said flatly. "If I were to give it to you, then I would be a traitor to my entire species.
I cannot let everything be in vain, not even death can justify that."
"Don’t be so sure, let tell you another story," Xu Zii laughed and spoke, "After the Ancient Nether was defeated, they started hiding in various parts of Yuan Central Continent.
Their main base was set up in the City of Clouds, and at the sa ti, they established branches in the major cities of each continent.
That includes the Wild Desolation Tavern in Mixed Yuan Ancient City, the Heavenly Star Lounge in Heavenly Light Ancient City, the Yellow Sand Tea House in North Desert........"
As Xu Zii nad each branch, the look on the old man’s face grew more and more panicked.
"What do you think would happen to the Ancient Nether if I spread this information everywhere?"
Upon hearing Xu Zii’s words, the elder glared at Xu Zii, grinding his teeth and said fiercely, "You deserve to die."
"You talk to like that, and it truly hurts my feelings," Xu Zii said with a laugh, smacking his lips, "I haven’t killed any of your Ancient Nether people. I’ve just spread so information, that’s all.
Oh, by the way, since the defeat of your clan in the era of Wild Desolation, you’ve also been quietly gathering strength for a million years.
If the location of your main base in the City of Clouds is exposed, wouldn’t your million years of effort go up in smoke as well?"
"I can give you the secret technique," the old man was silent for a while, staring intently at Xu Zii and said, "but why should I trust you?
What if, after you get the secret technique, you continue to blackmail with this, or spread the news anyway? I couldn’t stop you."
"You have no choice. If I wanted to spread the news, I would have already done so. The Thirteen Saints are not just you; I can seek out other Ancient Nethers," Xu Zii replied indifferently. "You give the secret technique, and I will let you go.
Also, I want to et one of your top ten Yamas; have him co talk to ."
The elder fell silent again for a long ti and eventually, with reluctance, nodded and responded, "I will tell you the secret technique only once, make sure you rember it."
"I can’t trust your spoken word, after all, matters of the Divine Soul cannot be taken lightly," Xu Zii said with a smile, shaking his head.
"What do you want then?" the elder asked with a slight frown.
"Open up your mind, I need to check your mories," Xu Zii replied.
"That’s impossible," the elder’s expression changed drastically, and he imdiately refused.
If Xu Zii peeked into his mories, then all the secrets of the elder’s life would be laid bare before Xu Zii without reservation.
"Rest assured, I’m only interested in the mories concerning the research on Twin Battle Bodies. I have no interest in your other mories," Xu Zii said with a smile.
The elder pondered deeply for a while and eventually gave in helplessly.
Indeed, at their level, there were few things that could threaten them anymore; even death was not a deterrence.
But Xu Zii just happened to use what they cherished most— their clan — which might very well be their greatest weakness.
......
As the elder opened his mind, his Divine Soul severed out the mories related to the Twin Battle Bodies, beginning to share them with Xu Zii.
The mory was extensive, from the very beginning when the Ancient Nether started researching Twin Battle Bodies, it went through countless failures and a million years of setbacks and frustration.
Xu Zii was able to get a more direct impression of the secret technique, as if he himself had been part of the research.
After this set of mories finished playing, nearly seven days had passed.
Xu Zii took a long breath and said with a smile, "I must admit, your Ancient Nether really commands respect for your spirit of adventure and wisdom."
