Chapter 927: Chapter 927
The transparent Supreme Divine Saber fiercely collided with the exquisite Star Scroll.
Endless terrifying energy poured forth.
Only after several breaths did both attacks completely dissipate.
The first clash of Divine Body Secret Techniques ended in a draw.
"Brother Shen, truly impressive skills!"
"Brother Gu’s skills are not lacking either!"
Shen Xing* replied with a smile.
After this confrontation, neither made a further move.
In terms of strength, Gu Ruoxu was actually slightly superior.
Because his cultivation level was somewhat higher than Shen Xing’s.
Ling Chen was silently astounded.
As expected of the Divine Body Secret Technique!
Such an attack will likely be something he faces in the future as well.
Now, Bai Yujing has achieved the Sun and Moon Divine Body.
He and Bai Yujing are bound to fight one day.
He will naturally have to face the Divine Body Secret Technique.
As for the Sun and Moon Divine Body’s Divine Body Secret Technique, he was not clear.
But judging from the clash between Shen Xing and Gu Ruoxu, its power is definitely not less than this attack.
Moreover, in the future, it will be used by great emperors.
The power will be even more terrifying.
Relying on Ling Chen’s current means, it’s doubtful he could withstand it.
Not to mention, Ling Chen’s cultivation is still weaker than Bai Yujing’s.
Then, Gu Ruoxu took Ling Chen and Shen Xing back to the Flower Immortal Sect.
Gu Ruoxu stayed in the Flower Immortal Sect for three days before departing.
Having discussed the Void Technique with Ling Chen and sparred with Shen Xing on the Divine Body,
both purposes of visiting the Flower Immortal Sect were fulfilled.
They naturally had to continue delving into mysterious secret techniques upon their return.
Shen Xing was not idle either.
After the duel with Gu Ruoxu, he realized there was still a considerable gap.
Simply Gu Ruoxu’s ability to instant teleport hundreds of miles and open up space was already shocking.
Ling Chen continued with his cultivation.
Currently, he has mastered sixty percent of the power of heaven and earth.
With such strength, among the younger generation, he is definitely outstanding.
However, the gap is still significant compared to the prodigies with Divine Bodies.
Moreover, there is pressure from Bai Yujing.
Before Gu Ruoxu left, he had sought out Bai Yujing.
It is said that the latter has already reached the late stage of six stars!
It seems that advancing to great emperor might not take many more years.
Ling Chen naturally has to cultivate more urgently.
After witnessing the Divine Body Secret Technique, he further understood the disparity between himself and the Divine Body.
The Divine Body Secret Technique, even initial emperors can cultivate.
Furthermore, its power continuously improves with the advancement of cultivation.
When Bai Yujing advances to a great emperor, even using the ninth stance of the Green Lotus Sword Manual might not be enough for Ling Chen.
What’s more, Ling Chen currently cannot cultivate the ninth stance yet.
Because the requirement for the ninth stance of the Green Lotus Sword Manual is seventy percent mastery of heaven and earth power.
In the Emperor Realm, cultivation in the path of the Divine Soul is slightly faster than the path of spiritual power.
Moreover, Ling Chen’s Divine Soul is at the late two-star stage, while his spiritual power path is at the early three-star stage. The higher the cultivation, the faster the speed.
Therefore, Ling Chen focused on cultivation in the Divine Soul path.
Time passed by without notice.
In the blink of an eye, another year had passed. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ⓝovelFire.net
In the path of the Divine Soul, Ling Chen finally broke through to the early three-star stage.
However, Ling Chen’s comprehensive cultivation level reached the mid-six-star stage.
Even with possessing the Sunlight Holy Body, this cultivation speed was exceedingly slow.
The difference between a Divine Body and a Sacred Body is not only in the secret technique.
But also in the cultivation speed.
It is precisely for this reason that Sect Leader Luo Shuixian would say that in the chaos of war, only a Divine Body can truly change the course of battle.
During this time, Xiao Qing’s cultivation speed picked up.
Now, it is already a three-star Emperor Spirit Beast.
With its Divine Beast bloodline, even ordinary five-star emperors are no match for it.
Of course, Xiao Qing’s achievements are not without Luo Shuixian’s nurturing.
In order to nurture Xiao Qing, she went to great lengths to find various heavenly treasures from all over.
It even cost her personal cultivation time.
She knows very well that after the chaos begins, only the Divine Body and Divine Beast can play critical roles in changing the outcome.
For the cultivation of the Divine Body, she has reached the limit.
There is no way to accelerate Shen Xing’s cultivation speed.
However, Xiao Qing is a Divine Beast.
As long as there are enough heavenly treasures, it can still improve significantly.
At least until the great emperor realm, there is no worry.
The turmoil truly is approaching.
Individuals from the Demon Sect are appearing more and more frequently.
Some sects in the Central State were even completely wiped out by the Demon Sect.
Luo Shuixian summoned Ling Chen.
In the Flower Immortal Palace, besides the two of them, there were also Shen Xing and Great Elder Zhong Ling.
"Ling Chen, I’ve received news that the Yin Corpse Gorge has discovered the Netherworld Ghost Flame."
Luo Shuixian got straight to the point.
"Netherworld Ghost Flame?"
Ling Chen’s heart leapt with joy.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire, Nihility Purifying Fire, and Netherworld Ghost Flame are known as the Three Great Soul Fires in the world.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire can temper the Divine Soul.
The Nihility Purifying Fire can purify the Divine Soul.
And the Netherworld Ghost Flame can nurture the Divine Soul.
Although called a flame, the Netherworld Ghost Flame is extremely cold.
Especially for a Divine Soul tempered by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, the nurturing effect is doubled.
Although there is no distinction of early, middle, or late stages for the Divine Soul upon reaching the Emperor Realm,
there is still a difference in strength.
The stronger the Divine Soul, the deeper the comprehension of heaven and earth power.
It can be said that the Netherworld Ghost Flame significantly aids Emperor-grade Divine Thought Masters in cultivation.
Therefore, upon receiving the news, Luo Shuixian immediately informed Ling Chen.
Luo Shuixian nodded, "The Netherworld Ghost Flame aids Divine Thought Masters in cultivation but is useless to Spiritual Power Practitioners. So, those competing for it shouldn’t be too numerous. However, the Taixuan Immortal Sect has probably been informed as well. So, be cautious!"
She is well aware of Ling Chen’s time constraints.
To defeat Bai Yujing, his cultivation must surpass the latter’s.
Fortunately, Ling Chen can cultivate both the Divine Soul and Spiritual Power.
So, his enhancement speed is much faster than ordinary emperors.
But Ling Chen has ultimately been cultivating for a short time.
His current cultivation is likely still inferior to Bai Yujing’s.
If he can obtain the Netherworld Ghost Flame, he has confidence in enhancing his Divine Soul to four stars!
Luo Shuixian said, "This time, Bai Yujing is likely to go too. If you encounter him, try to avoid conflict. You are no match for him now. Also, I’ll have Great Elder and Shen Xing accompany you. Hopefully, you can acquire the Netherworld Ghost Flame before encountering Bai Yujing!"
The Great Elder is a great emperor.
Shen Xing is also on par with a great emperor.
Their combined power should suffice to tackle some problems.
Moreover, the Yin Corpse Gorge is full of mysteries.
The more people, the less advantageous it is.
Ling Chen nodded heavily.
At this point, there was no need for polite words.
"The Yin Corpse Gorge is also one of the ten great perilous grounds! You must be careful and prioritize safety!"
Luo Shuixian cautioned.
"Rest assured, Sect Leader, I will ensure they return safely."
Zhong Ling promised solemnly.
Ling Chen and Shen Xing nodded solemnly as well.
"Alright, time waits for no one. Prepare briefly and then depart!"
Luo Shuixian ordered.
The Yin Corpse Gorge is in the northern region of Central State, closer to the Taixuan Immortal Sect.
The longer Ling Chen and his party delay, the smaller the chance to seize the Netherworld Ghost Flame.
She also prepared some elixirs for Ling Chen and his companions.
The three agreed, and a quarter-hour later, they entered the void, heading towards the Yin Corpse Gorge.
