However, compared to the change in his Spiritual Level, Yang Xiao's Heaven and Earth Origin Fla in his Qi Sea seed sowhat lacking.
It had only just broken through.
Barely reaching the Early Stage of the Yellow Fla Realm.
'The Yellow Fla Realm is the final realm of Mortal Fire, offering three opportunities to temper one's body and spirit. The first chance cos at the Early-Yellow Fla Peak. If I can reach that stage, even if my Spiritual Level doesn't break through to the Void Observation Realm, my physique will still be able to reach the level of an Upper-Grade Spiritual Body.'
Looking at the yellow fla within his body, an idea struck Yang Xiao. He retrieved several crimson pills from his Storage Ring.
These were the Fire Elent Pills he had accumulated, as well as the Spirit dicines he had previously obtained in the Earth Fla Cave.
Yang Xiao refined all of these Spirit dicines into Fire Elent Pills.
Then, he refined those Fire Elent Pills into a single King-level Fire Essence Pill.
With his current Spiritual Level at the Observing Micro High Peak, he was fully capable of refining a King-level Fire Essence Pill at the Peak of Third Grade.
However, once a pill reached the King Level, raising it even a single grade beca an incredibly difficult task.
Yang Xiao exhausted all the resources he had, but only managed to create a single King-level Fire Essence Pill at the Peak of Second-Grade.
He swallowed it.
The Yellow Fla within him swelled, but it didn't reach the Early-Yellow Fla Peak. Instead, it settled at the middle tier of the Early Stage. At the sa ti, Yang Xiao's cultivation finally stepped into the Martial Grandmaster Realm, reaching a level comparable to the Martial Grandmaster Second Layer Peak.
However, Yang Xiao was slightly disappointed with this level of progress.
'It seems that after stepping into the Yellow Fla Realm, improving the Heaven and Earth Origin Fla has beco even more difficult. To break through to the Early-Yellow Fla Peak, I'll probably need at least ten more of those azure lotuses from before.'
Ten dicine Kings of the Ancient Spirit dicine Level.
That was no easy task.
Still, after breaking through to the Yellow Fla Realm, Yang Xiao's overall strength had improved trendously. Even the True Greater Yang Fire within him had been elevated to the Lower Eighth Grade.
The advancent of his True Greater Yang Fire imdiately triggered a chain reaction within Yang Xiao's body.
Within the Divine Power Seed he had just successfully condensed, the Secret Patterns, which were originally only equivalent to Upper Ninth Grade, instantly transford. Just like his True Greater Yang Fire, they beca Lower Eighth Grade.
Imdiately, both his Vajra Indestructible Body and the Attack Power of the True Greater Yang Fire itself were significantly enhanced.
Previously, Yang Xiao's defense could only block a Tier Seven Martial Saint.
But now, once he activated his Divine Technique, let alone a Tier Seven, even Tier Eight or Tier Nine Martial Saints would not necessarily be able to harm him.
The increase was more than tenfold!
One could tell just by looking at how the Nine Nether Evil Qi around him was completely unable to cause him any harm.
By stepping into the Yellow Fla Realm, Yang Xiao had finally reached the pinnacle of the Celestial Cloud Region.
At least, in terms of defense, he was unparalleled.
He no longer feared anyone.
'Now, even if I run into that girl again, she probably won't be able to hurt . My Attack Power is a bit lacking, but it should be no worse than a Tier Six Martial Saint's... For now, though, I should first see what secrets this Nine Nether Earth Rift holds…'
His strength having risen dramatically, Yang Xiao was overjoyed. His interest in the secrets within the Nine Nether Evil Qi was piqued, and with a thought, he imdiately headed deeper into the Nine Nether Earth Rift.
He wanted to see what the source of this Nine Nether Evil Qi looked like.
At the sa ti, he also wanted to test just how much of the Nine Nether Evil Qi's power his Vajra Indestructible Divine Technique could withstand.
...
"It's been almost a month. Why isn't that guy out yet?"
anwhile, outside the veil of Nine Nether Evil Qi, Yue Lingxi wrinkled her pretty nose in annoyance.
The Profound Sun Order was a critically important item to her.
It was the most crucial part of the mission her Master had assigned. If she couldn't get it, she would fail. And if she failed the mission, she wouldn't be able to go back.
The thought made Yue Lingxi furious.
'It's all that damn guy's fault! But what do I do now?'
Her anger subsided, replaced by a nagging worry.
'That guy... he didn't die in there, did he?'
Yue Lingxi was getting frantic.
She, a prodigy blessed by the heavens, was on the cusp of becoming the supre Saintess of the Holy Palace once this mission was complete. After that, no one would be able to challenge her status.
Yet here she was, in this remote place, getting bested by so backwater brat.
He'd even taken the Profound Sun Order.
Yue Lingxi was absolutely livid.
And then there was that... blending of their auras.
The mont she thought of it, Yue Lingxi's face turned beet red.
She was both furious and flustered.
'If that brat really died in there... should I go save him?'
Yue Lingxi imdiately shook her head. 'That brat is so detestable, I'm not saving him! But... the Profound Sun Order can't be lost in there!'
As if having found a perfectly reasonable excuse, Yue Lingxi raised her head and stared at the Nine Nether Evil Qi before her.
This stuff was terrifying.
It wasn't sothing she could withstand.
'Should I try using my Nine Yin Qi to disperse it? Damn it! If Master hadn't forbidden from using Divine Power Realm strength here, how could I, a Saintess, be in such a sorry state?'
But despite her words, Yue Lingxi still raised a hand and sent a palm strike toward the Nine Nether Evil Qi.
With that one strike, Yue Lingxi saw so of the Nine Nether Evil Qi actually disperse.
Moreover,
She sensed that the Evil Qi's corrosive assault on her was not as terrifying as before.
'What's going on? My Nine Yin Qi clearly hasn't transford; it has only barely reached the Seventh Grade. It's impossible for it to resist the Nine Nether Evil Qi. So why? Why wasn't much of it consud this ti?'
Yue Lingxi was utterly baffled.
Although her cultivation was sealed, forcing her to rely on the strength of a True Intent Peak cultivator, she couldn't even use her true Divine Techniques. All she could muster were so Pseudo Divine Techniques.
However, her Heart Spirit Power was extrely strong, allowing her to easily sense that her Nine Yin Qi seed to have undergone so sort of change.
Normally, the most terrifying aspect of the Nine Nether Evil Qi was its insidious, all-pervasive nature, its ability to infiltrate anything.
It could invade flesh and blood not only through contact, but could even infiltrate sothing as intangible as one's Heart Spirit.
Let alone the Nine Yin Qi within her body.
That was why, although Yue Lingxi had thought of using her Nine Yin Qi to disperse the Nine Nether Evil Qi, she would sever her Heart Spirit connection to it the instant she felt the Evil Qi begin to invade.
This way, despite the greater consumption, it was still a viable thod for entering.
But now, Yue Lingxi suddenly discovered sothing.
The Nine Yin Qi she had just unleashed seed to be immune. It hadn't been corroded much—no, that wasn't right. It was completely unaffected by the Evil Qi's assault.
'Could it be... because of that brat?'
A flash of joy crossed Yue Lingxi's face, only to be replaced by a blush.
Because thinking of that brat reminded Yue Lingxi of what had happened between them.
The blending of their auras.
For no reason at all, Yang Xiao's face appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but grind her teeth in anger.
'That damn guy, he's so infuriating! He's bullying just because he has the Profound Sun Order! Infuriating!'
At this mont, however, Yue Lingxi had completely forgotten sothing.
It was she who had attacked Yang Xiao first.
This had provoked his animosity and led him to retaliate.
She only felt that this guy, Yang Xiao, was utterly detestable.
Soon, however, a smirk appeared on her face. 'Now that my Nine Yin Qi can block this Evil Qi... hmph, hmph. Let's see where you can hide now, you brat!'
anwhile, Yang Xiao would never have imagined that because their auras had blended, he wasn't the only one who had benefited. Yue Lingxi had also gained the ability to enter the Nine Nether Evil Qi and was about to co find him.
If he had known, he would have been filled with endless regret.
