Chapter 1464 (1/2)
Unexpected</spoiler>
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady did not reject Xiao Chen's request. She just said that she needed some time.
”Not a problem. I'll wait.”
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and waited quietly for the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady.
After about seven to eight minutes, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said, ”I found them.”
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady tapped the air with her finger, and a painting appeared. A group of scarlet-clad men broke a restriction and s.n.a.t.c.hed up a dazzling, resplendent pearl.
This group of people showed smiles, in wild joy.
”What is that?”
Seeing through this painting was not as good as being there himself, after all. Xiao Chen, who opened his eyes, did not recognize that resplendent pearl.
”That is the Puppet Pearl. It is not an item of the Martial Epoch but a Magic Treasure of the Immortal Epoch. It is used to control huge puppets, especially huge puppets normally in the shape of huge ancient beasts like the Deep Sea Berserk Shark.” The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady gave Xiao Chen a detailed explanation.
This piqued Xiao Chen's interest. This Magic Treasure was specially used for controlling huge puppets. He seemed to think of something but was not entirely sure what it was.
”Can you retrieve it?”
Xiao Chen kept feeling that the Blood Clad Sect had some sort of scheme. If the other party managed to obtain this Puppet Pearl, it might result in a great calamity in the future.
”I can't. They already placed it in a spatial ring. I can only bring over treasures in restrictions that are not broken yet. There are still many good things in the Immortal palace. If you need any of them, I can give them to you.”
”There's no need.”
Xiao Chen rejected without even considering it. He always followed a certain principle: going too far was as bad as not far enough.
These were not Xiao Chen's things. If he took too many, he might incur some bad karma. Furthermore, he had already obtained the Cycle Arts, which was what he wanted the most. There was also the incredibly precious Universe Origin Fruit. There was no need to be too greedy.
Leaving the latter generations some opportunities was not a bad thing.
The most important thing now was to figure out what this group of people from the Blood Clad Sect was planning.
”Are you planning to go over and s.n.a.t.c.h it? Given your current state, you might not even be able to protect yourself. Just rest and properly recuperate from your injuries.
”That's right.” The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady looked at the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram in the air and entered deep thought. ”Where did you learn this flame diagram? This is the first time I saw someone merge two opposing attributes—Yin and Yang—together so naturally.”
Xiao Chen thought for a while. Naturally, he could not expose the things about Earth. So he answered, ”I learned it myself.”
”Not bad, you are much stronger than I was back then. However, you lack a Cultivation Technique. Otherwise, it would be difficult for your flame diagram to become truly strong. Since you made it yourself, you need a complete set of techniques; neither Martial Techniques nor Cultivation Techniques can be lacking.”
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was stunned. After thinking about it, he felt that it made sense.
The Taiji Dao did indeed lack a Cultivation Technique. However, creating a Cultivation Technique by himself might be too difficult for him at the moment.
For now, he could not do it.
”Since both are Yinyang flames, you actually can absorb the energy of the Void h.e.l.l Flower and the Extreme Yang True Flame into your Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. That way, you can deal with the threat of the Extreme Yang True Flame and strengthen your flame diagram,” the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said after observing for a while more.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. Why did I not think of it? They are of common origins and types, so this is quite possible.
For the sake of maintaining a balance, the Extreme Yang True Flame and the Void h.e.l.l Flower had to be similar types of energy. After absorbing them, the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram would still maintain its balance.
”I'll teach you how to do it.”
After the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said that, she gave Xiao Chen pointers on how to use the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram to absorb the Void h.e.l.l Flowers and the Extreme Yang True Flames.
Xiao Chen had extraordinary comprehension ability in the first place. With just a few words, he quickly understood the principle behind the concept.
He succeeded on his first attempt.
The ten thousand flower petals melted like snow on the ground, silently and without any warning. The Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame slowly grew stronger. Xiao Chen could not help feeling some joy.
Flames were graded into nine ranks. His primal-chaos-level Heavenly Snow Divine Flame was at Rank 3, and his Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame were both at Rank 6.
