118 Tenth skin sewing (1/2)

Bai Yun stood up and slowly walked around. Bai Yun was thinking about his next move.

Bai Yun had always thought that the reason he took such a long time to reach the titled god realm was because he had lacked life experience. Bai Yun had spent almost the entirety of his life either training or fighting. When comparing his life to that of his compatriots, Bai Yun had always thought that his life was a little too bleak.

Bai Yun had heard many of them speak of their experiences during their path. What Bai Yun had found was that many people who had experienced many things had gone much further in their paths that their talents or births should have allowed them to. And there were a lot more ordinary people who had become gods than disciples of superpowers. All of this made Bai Yun think that rather than talent, the path one walked in their life was more important.

Of course, Bai Yun knew that most people who walked this path ended up dying. But the ones who survived went further than they could ever hope. And Bai Yun had enough confidence in his abilities to survive anything that the world might throw at him.

If Bai Yun only wanted to reach the level he had reached in his previous life, Bai Yun was sure that he could do that easily. But after his reincarnation and seeing the might of the devil emperor, a hidden desire had appeared in Bai Yun's heart.

A desire to go further than his previous life. To go beyond even the devil emperor. To reach heights he could not imagine previously.

And Bai Yun had an instinctive feeling that if he followed his current path of a sheltered life under the protection of the Bai clan, he would be unable to do so.

This feeling was further strengthened when he met the God of Alchemy. The God of Alchemy did not care about his training methods. He was more interested in his experience and emotions. All of this further strengthened his hypothesis that maybe it was the most important element in cultivation. It simply hadn't mattered in his past life due to his absurd talent. But if he wanted to go further than he ever knew, then both were indispensable.

And Bai Yun knew that in order to experience the vicissitudes of life he would have to leave the Bai clan. Even though he had experienced much in the clan, none of those had truly moved his heart. The only exception when he nearly died in the false world formation. So Bai Yun knew that he had to leave the clan to experience life.

And Bai Yun's plan was to go on a journey for a couple of years to gain experience.

And the biggest obstacle to this wasn't the difficulty of the journey.

Nope.

The biggest obstacle to this would be his mother.

But no matter how hard the thought about this, he could not find a way to ensure that he could leave successfully. Bai Yun had been thinking about this problem since his reincarnation, but he still did not have a successful solution.

But the basis for all of this was strength. If he was strong enough, he could easily escape and also gain permission to journey wherever he wanted.

Thinking of this Bai Yun suddenly froze. His soul path had just broken through and he couldn't improve it in a short while. Bai Yun was hoping for a natural breakthrough in his qi path, and did not want to forcibly make a breakthrough. If he did so, it might cause his foundation to be unstable.

But Bai Yun was at a critical point in his body cultivation path. Bai Yun had currently reached the nine skin sewing pattern realm. Bai Yun was only a single skin sewing away from reaching the peak of skin sewing.

Realizing this Bai Yun quickly sat down. The cultivation technique Bai Yun was following was the undying body of the God of Battle. In the Undying Body, the first nine skin sewing patterns were nothing special. But the tenth one was different. Different from all other patterns, the tenth pattern was used to tie together the first nine patterns to create the perfect single pattern. Thus it was much harder to create compared to the first nine. It was because of this that Bai Yun hadn't tried to create it until now.

The tenth pattern required a truly massive amount of energy compared to the previous nine. And this was true even considering the fact that the patterns for the undying body required much more energy than any other body cultivation. Thus the God of Battle created a medicinal pill that would have enough energy in it to complete the tenth skin sewing pattern. And Bai Yun had also gained this pill formula from the God of Alchemy.

Bai Yun's initial plan to try and concoct this pill. Even though he would fail many times, Bai Yun was certain that he would eventually be able to make the pill.

But his thought changed when he finally got the God of Alchemies legacy. After studying the alchemy legacy, Bai Yun's alchemy skills had improved by a whole lot. Now he could easily create that pill.

But the God of Battle was not a true alchemist after all. The pill that he made had many defects. Bai Yun found a pill that was much better for the tenth skin sewing in the God of Alchemy's legacy. Originally this pill was supposed to be used during the muscle tempering portion of body cultivation, but due to the overwhelming power of the Undying Body, it could barely be enough for the tenth skin pattern.

Bai Yun already had all the necessary ingredients for the pill. This was just a pill that the God of Alchemy created in his spare time after he reached the tilted god level. Thus even though it was a very powerful pill, it had no name. Bai Yun decided to call it the little body tempering pill. This was because Bai Yun knew that this pill was the simplified version of a far more powerful pill called the true body tempering pill.
