Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 644 – Two Years

Afterwards, Yang Junhao brought over a dozen different types of Intrinsic Feathers of dire beasts and flew to the magnetic field mountain to seek an audience with Master Refiner Ouyang Xulin. Those ten over Intrinsic Feathers of dire beasts were obtained from An Xia through her introduction from the Thousand Birds Sect in the forest near the borders of the Yu and Sang Prefectures.

The Thousand Birds Sect was proficient in controlling flying beasts. Over the years, they had accumulated a lot of various wild and barbaric birds’ feathers. Although they had their uses, they didn’t use them much, so they didn’t value them too much.

As a Grandmaster Blacksmith, not only did Ouyang Xulin possess a fire attribute cultivation technique that was out of the ordinary, because he had been nurturing weapons and flames for a long time now, he definitely also had fire astral energy in his hands. Even though most of it was owned by the sect, he himself definitely had his own private treasury.

Ouyang Xulin naturally did not say anything, and decided on the spot to give Yang Junhaype of fire astral energy that he had collected. This fire astral energy came from his artifact fire, so it received the most tempering, hence it was extremely pure!

Yang Junhao spent half a year of time to refine this ball of fire energy and the scarlet wooden staff in his dantian actually extended out another branch. He placed the third sun ball of fire formed by the fire energy onto the branch and still did not lose control of the fire energy.

Moreover, its power was much stronger than the Scarlet Flame Spirit Serpent Art and the Fire Crow Spirit Art. Furthermore, because the third stage of the Fire Aura was too pure, it caused the power of the ability to increase greatly, making it difficult for Yang Junhao to refine the fourth type of Fire Aura.

With no other choice, when Yang Junhao returned to the Xishan Village, he had no choice but to temporarily interrupt Yang Junshan’s closed door cultivation. At the same time, he brought back news that Ning Bin had levelled up his Gangli Accumulation Realm.

After that, Yang Junhao brought a letter written by Yang Junshan himself and followed Chu Chuang’s caravan all the way to the fire valley in Lin County.

Another year passed like this. When Yang Junhao was in fire valley, borrowing the Lava River underground to absorb the Earth Fire Aura and cultivating it to the fourth sun, pushing the power of the divine ability all the way to the peak of the spiritual world’s divine ability. Only then did he leave the fire valley.

Returning to the Xishan Village, Yang Junhao brought back two news. One was that the Adept Qiyang had decided to enter the Sunset Ridge’s Lava Lake to absorb the Lava Fire Highland in the middle of summer and the second was that the Adept Qiyang wanted to accept Yang Junhao as his in-name disciple.

Yang Junshan asked Yang Junhao about his year in fire valley. After saying “you can decide for yourself on this matter”, he no longer paid any attention to him.

In these two years, Yang Junshan had only gone into closed door cultivation to do two things: one of them was to cultivate the Profound Extension Spirit Art, and this precious rank of secret technique was obtained from the fallen Adept Qingyu, and was also used to solve the shortcoming of Yang Junshan’s coverage because of the refinement of his Spirit Awareness.

There were a lot of things that had happened before but Yang Junshan had never had the time to cultivate it. Now, after calming himself down and studying it, two years of time, Yang Junshan had gained quite a bit from cultivating this art.

In order to cultivate in the art of formations, Yang Junshan had once used a secret technique to refine and condense his spirit sense by half. But even so, his spirit sense could still cover sixty to seventy percent of the cultivators in the same stage, and after training in this technique for two years, although Yang Junshan’s spirit sense had only been able to cover fifty percent of the area, if he added the soul ring he got from Adept Qingyu, it would be able to make the difference of ninety percent of the cultivators in the same stage. This difference could be said to be extremely small.

More importantly, the range of Yang Junshan’s Spiritual Sense continued to increase, but his Spiritual Sense was still twice as dense and agile as a normal cultivator’s. Furthermore, with the effects of the soul ring, Yang Junshan realised that he could actually use these methods to conceal his own Qi, and hide his own cultivation!

Other than cultivating this secret technique, Yang Junshan focused all of his energy on the second matter, which was to refine the pool of water he brought back from the Nanxuan swamp’s Tai Ze Demon Nest!

In a short span of two years, it was enough for Yang Junshan’s cultivation to reach the peak of the Gangli Accumulation Realm. Although the source water waype of spirit object formed by heaven and earth, and unlike the pills which would usually have poison obstructing them after consuming them, it had weakened and the like, it still pushed Yang Junshan’s cultivation to the limits in a short span of two years.

Thinking that the opening of the Buried Sky Ruins would only have a year left, and it would probably be another extremely dangerous battle, Yang Junshan had no choice but to use all his strength to raise his cultivation, even if he had to spend even more time to remove the hidden danger caused by the rapid increase in cultivation.

Deep in the night at the border of the Sandtown and the good Yu County, Yang Junshan and Yang Junhao seemed to be waiting for something.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed, the originally cold and clear night sky suddenly became hot and dry. Yang Junshan smiled slightly and said: “Senior Qi Yang has arrived.

A red flame cloud suddenly floated over, and Adept Qiyang appeared in front of the two of them. This time, Adept Qiyang came here alone, and did not bring any other children to serve them.

Compared to two years ago, the aura around Adept Qiyang was becoming more and more irritable and uneasy, likeservoir that was about to collapse, and there was the possibility that it could collapse at any time.

Glancing at Yang Junhao beside Yang Junshan, Yang Junhao slightly hesitated, but still stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying: “Disciple greets teacher!”

Only then did Adept Qiyang let out a satisfied “En”. He shifted his attention to Yang Junshan, and a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes as he said: “Peak of the Gangli Accumulation Realm, Spiritual Master Jun Shan indeed has a great scheme, but borrowing the external strength to cultivate is still not my way!”

“Daoist Master is right!”

Yang Junshan smiled slightly, thinking to himself that the Adept Qiyang was indeed shrewd, and then changed the topic: “This is a good opportunity, aside from the Opening Spirit School who is in charge of the sect, there is no one else in the Sunset Ridge, according to the rules, no one else will come for at least half a year.”

When the Adept Qiyang heard what Yang Junshan said, his eyes immediately lit up. “Half a year’s time, is enough!”

His tone paused for a bit, and then he looked at Yang Junhao and said: “He’s going with this old man as well? Condense the fifth stage of Fire Aura? ”

Yang Junshan nodded with a smile: “That’s right!”

Adept Qiyang was quiet for a moment, then he frowned: “The fire energy quality of the fire energy that he refined is too high, if the fifth type of fire energy is to go to the Lava Lake to collect lava fire energy, then how do I collect the sixth and seventh type of fire energy?”

Yang Junshan also laughed bitterly without saying anything, but Yang Junhao, who was at the side, was extremely excited because he was about to obtain the first Precious Techniques and Divine Powers, and said: “We’ll talk about it after this, let’s fuse the fifth type of Fire Aura first!”

Towards Yang Junhao, who waeartless guy, Yang Junshan and the Adept Qiyang could only look at him and smile bitterly. However, the Adept Qiyang did not seem to finish his words yet, in his heart, he was still suspicious of how Yang Junhao could overcome the effects of the fire astral energy and enter his dantian so as to not clash with them. However, he knew that this secret technique must be a secret of the Madame Yang.

Two years ago, Yang Junshan and the Adept Qiyang had an earth-shattering exchange which practically shook the entire Yuzhou’s cultivation world. Following after, the two of them started to chat happily at the borders between the Mengyu County and the elite Yu County, and as long as one wasn’t brain-damaged, it was natural that they would suspect that there was some unknown secret between the two of them, and it was also not that no one had guessed that the Sunset Ridge’s main reason the three sects had agreed to let the Madame Yang stay in the Sunset Ridge was because they feared that after angering the Madame Yang, another fire valley would come in. The situation would become even more chaotic.

However, in the next two years, the Western Mountain Madame Yang and fire valley did indeed have a close relationship, the two sides’ caravan travelled to and from the borders of the, but the so-called “alliance” did not appear. The Western Mountain Madame Yang was still a powerful clan that belonged to the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and the fire valley’s power had never extended into the Mengyu County’s territory.

Yang Junshan brought the Adept Qiyang and Yang Junhao through the Great Guardian Formation of the Sunset Ridge’s mining grounds without anyone knowing about it. Although there was a Spirit Master of the Opening Spirit School in charge of the formation right now, up until the moment when Yang Junshan brought the two of them to the gigantic lava lake, the Spirit Master of the Opening Spirit School did not notice that there were already three Spirit Masters sneaking in secretly. The other three cultivators who were patrolling along the way also turned a blind eye to them, if Yang Junshan and the other two were really enemies, then the Spirit Master of the Opening Spirit School would not even know how they died.

“It’s here, I will set up a concealment array at these two locations. Normally, the two of you can hide here, as long as the Adept Realm Cultivator is not purposefully looking for them, I don’t think he will find you two!”

Within the massive lava lake, the crimson red lava was constantly boiling and the pungent smell was filled with all sorts of disadvantages. The scorching air waves made it difficult to approach the lava lake from dozens of feet away, causing the dark red light to appear extremely bright in the dark night.

Adept Qiyang nodded his head and walked forward. As if he was walking on flat ground above this magma flow that could melt gold and iron, he waited until he found a satisfactory location in the center of the lake before turning around and waving his hand towards Yang Junshan and the others. A six layered glass tower appeared above his head, and five different colored fireballs blended into the surface of his body.

Adept Qiyang’s cultivation was truly dense and amazing.

Yang Junshan could not help but turn his gaze towards the similarly astonished Yang Junhao, only to see him laugh bitterly, and say: “Fourth brother, I am not like the Adept Qiyang, and can at most absorb the Lava Fire Highland at the edge of the lake. My speed is definitely slower by a lot.”

Yang Junshan nodded his head, and said: “No worries, Adept Qiyang needs to hurry up and absorb the six suns, but you are not in a rush. Since Sunset Ridge has a share now, you can leave the Lava Lake whenever you want!”
