52: Chapter 52 The Fifth Heaven of the Dao Palace

"Have you thought it over?"

Gu Yuena bit her lower lip tightly, gazing at Chen Yang with her purple eyes.

"If it's him, it's not impossible. After all, he's powerful and handsome, though he's still just a little bit inferior to the dear readers."

Countless inner voices kept ringing out. Gu Yuena shook her head, trying to banish all these thoughts, then opened her small mouth and said slowly, "Fine, I agree."

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's agreement, Chen Yang could not wait another moment. He pulled Gu Yuena directly into his arms, looked at her delicate lips, and kissed her immediately.

"Mmph..."

Gu Yuena widened her eyes. She hadn't expected Chen Yang to kiss her so suddenly. She placed her hands on Chen Yang's chest and was just about to push him away, but suddenly remembering something, she ultimately closed her purple eyes slowly, wrapped her arms around Chen Yang's neck, and began to respond to his demands.

After a long while.

Chen Yang released Gu Yuena, looked at her blushing face, raised his hand to stroke her silver hair, and said, "Naer, here, take this medicinal pill. Go give it to Di Tian."

Gu Yuena looked at the pill in Chen Yang's hand, stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is this pill the same kind I just ate?"

"Haha, of course. This single pill is enough to heal Di Tian."

Chen Yang took Gu Yuena's small hand, placed the pill into it, and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena immediately looked at Chen Yang with grateful eyes and said softly, "Thank you, Han Li."

Although Di Tian and she had both been injured by Chen Yang, since she had already decided to marry him, such grudges naturally had to be set aside.

Di Tian watched Chen Yang holding hands with the Sovereign. His expression instantly crumbled. He had never expected that his Sovereign would actually marry the enemy of their Soul Beast clan just to save him. It was all because he was too weak.

Di Tian's eyes were vacant. Even the pill had to be refined for him by Gu Yuena. He felt that he had completely lost his faith; there was no hope left for the revival of the Soul Beasts.

"Di Tian, from today on, Han Li represents me. He will help you break through to the God Level. From this day forward, our Soul Beast clan will no longer have to fear the gods."

Gu Yuena looked at Di Tian's vacant eyes and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, Bi Ji and Zi Ji hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed, "Greetings, Sovereign."

Di Tian also transformed into his human form, knelt before Chen Yang, and said in a deep voice, "Di Tian pays respects to the Sovereign!"

"Very good. Take these cultivation techniques and practice them. There is also the method to becoming a god that I have comprehended. Cultivate well; even without a God Core, you can still become gods."

Chen Yang looked at Di Tian and the others, raised his hand, and injected some abridged cultivation techniques into their minds.

"So, this world still holds such profound cultivation techniques."

Di Tian observed the techniques in his sea of consciousness and sighed with emotion. If he had possessed these techniques earlier, the Soul Beasts would have long ago been able to slaughter their way into the God Realm, rather than struggling against humans in the lower realm.

"Alright, cultivate slowly. I am going to break through as well."

After saying this, Chen Yang took Gu Yuena, Zhang Lexuan, and the others to the side of the Lake of Life. Looking at the emerald green lake water, Chen Yang knew that today would be the day his Dao Palace was perfected.

Life Gold, a type of natural metal formed from solidified life force, is perfect for cultivation. As long as this metal is integrated into the lungs, although it provides no powerful attack ability, every breath exhaled reveals the aura of life.

Chen Yang slowly moved to the center of the lake. He first used the Holy Light Technique to shroud himself, then sat cross-legged in the lake, beginning to absorb the Life Gold from the bottom of the lake to nurture the deity of his lungs.

Gu Yuena, however, was confused as she watched Chen Yang's actions.

"Could Chen Yang be absorbing the Life Gold at the bottom of the lake for cultivation? But this would only increase his life force, not his strength."

However, thinking of Chen Yang's terrifying strength, perhaps such a small boost was negligible to him.

The Life Gold at the bottom of the lake continuously transformed into green life force, which was absorbed by Chen Yang, beginning to nurture his lungs.

Chen Yang's lungs could be seen constantly flickering with green light.

Chen Yang concentrated and calmed his mind, continuously operating the Undying Heavenly Art to devour this life force.

Cultivation knows no time.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yang had been cultivating for over a month. Zhang Lexuan and the others had long since left and returned to Douluo Academy. Now, only Gu Yuena remained by the lake, sitting on the edge, her pair of snow-white feet constantly swaying in the lake water.

Chen Yang's internal life spirit was extremely thick and rich; his entire being was immersed in green light.

The Dao Palace deity had been successfully nurtured. Chen Yang slowly opened his eyes, a green light flashing within them.

Dao Palace Fifth Heaven!

Feeling the divine power constantly emanating from his five internal organs, Chen Yang waved his hand to dispel the Holy Light Technique and slowly approached Gu Yuena.

From the moment Chen Yang opened his eyes, Gu Yuena's gaze had not left his body. When Chen Yang walked to her side, a rich aura of life constantly wafted over.

"So fragrant, I want to eat it."

Gu Yuena looked at Chen Yang with eyes full of desire, her throat bobbing as she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"What's the matter, little glutton? Do you want to eat me?"

Chen Yang placed his hand on top of Gu Yuena's head and said with a smile.

Gu Yuena's eyes darted away, and she said softly, "Chen Yang, can you teach me the cultivation method you practice?"

"I observed you cultivating and discovered that you don't seem to be practicing what is known as Soul Power or Dou Qi?"

Gu Yuena didn't know if Chen Yang would agree. She felt very uneasy in her heart, fearing that Chen Yang would refuse.

Chen Yang smiled, sat beside Gu Yuena, held her fair, small hand, and said slowly, "The method I practice is called the Secret Realm Cultivation Method, created by a supreme powerhouse."

"This method emphasizes that whether one is a human or a beast, there exist countless gates within the body. As long as one continuously opens these gates, one can endlessly increase one's own strength."

"However, you cannot practice this method."

Chen Yang shook his head, politely refusing Gu Yuena.

"Ah, why can't I practice it?"

Gu Yuena grabbed Chen Yang's hand with both of hers and said anxiously.

She didn't understand. Clearly, she could practice Dou Qi; why couldn't she practice the Secret Realm Cultivation Method that Chen Yang practiced? It made no sense.

"The Secret Realm Cultivation Method emphasizes using the body as a seed. To practice it, one must have a Seed of Life within the body to be able to practice this method."

"This is a rule of the universe that cannot be changed by human power. Unless there is a source that can change your body and forge a Seed of Life for you, you will never be able to practice it."

Chen Yang slowly explained the reason. Indeed, if it weren't for the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body source that Chen Yang had obtained, he might still be practicing Dou Qi now.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena understood, but her eyes dimmed. She also wanted to become stronger. Although Dou Qi could also make one stronger, she could feel a clear bottleneck.

Perhaps she could indeed be considered an overlord in this realm, but after witnessing Chen Yang's power, Gu Yuena realized that being a god was merely the starting point. With the worlds appearing later in the live broadcast room, they might be of increasingly higher tiers.

Dou Qi was also very likely to be inadequate.
