154: Chapter 154 Heading to the Capital

For the next half month, Baili Yunche stayed continuously in the Creation Divine Cauldron Space.

Half a month in the outside world was fifteen months inside the Divine Cauldron Space!

He cultivated bitterly day and night, using the jiuyou cold flame as his Origin to continuously temper his Physical Body and condense his Divine Abilities.

Finally, on the eve of the approaching assembly, he successfully cultivated the Flame Dragon Three Mysterious Transformations.

He stood in the center of the Creation Divine Cauldron Space, took a deep breath, and the jiuyou cold flame within his body surged frantically.

He formed hand seals with both hands and let out a low shout: "First Transformation of the Flame Dragon Mysterious Fire Transformation — Crimson Scale Coiling Dragon!"

Rumble!

Icy blue flames suddenly erupted around his body, and those flames rapidly condensed, winding around him into a phantom of a flame dragon about a zhang long!

That flame dragon was entirely composed of icy blue flames, its dragon scales clearly visible. In its dragon eyes burned purplish-red flames, emitting a strange aura that was both icy cold and scorching hot.

The flame dragon coiled around his arm, slithering according to his will, as if merging into one with him.

With a casual punch, the flame dragon phantom roared out accordingly, instantly freezing a boulder ahead into ice, which was then evaporated into nothingness by the high temperature, leaving not even a scrap behind!

"The first transformation alone has doubled my strength!"

Baili Yunche could not help nodding inwardly, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Over the past half month, apart from cultivating the Flame Dragon Three Mysterious Transformations, he had also spent a lot of time cultivating the Ten Thousand Demons Body Refining Technique.

Entering the Sunset Mountain Range this time, he had obtained a large amount of Yao Beast essence blood. By using secret arts to temper his Physical Body, his Physical Body had also improved to the standard of the Ninth Layer of Golden Core!

His current strength, dual cultivating both magic and body, was at the Ninth Layer of Golden Core for both!

Coupled with the Setting Sun Sword Technique, Myriad Phenomena Thunder Fist, Ten Thousand Demons Body Refining Technique, and Flame Dragon Mysterious Fire Transformation... he truly could be called the number one person beneath the Nascent Soul Stage!

"Baili Yunche, have you finished cultivating? We are leaving! The Cangxuan Assembly is about to begin!"

Liu Ruyan's crisp voice came from outside the door.

"Alright!"

Baili Yunche tidied up briefly and left the room.

Arriving at the main hall, Baili Yunche saw Peak Master Luo Yunshang.

Half a month had passed, and Peak Master Luo Yunshang's temperament seemed even more unfathomable than before.

She wore a light purple court dress with a peerless appearance. A faint Sword Intent lingered around her body, resembling a sharp sword that had just been unsheathed—its sharpness restrained yet making others dare not look straight at her.

"Revered Master! Have you finished transitioning your Cultivation Technique?" Baili Yunche asked.

Peak Master Luo Yunshang nodded slightly and said indifferently: "Mhm."

She did not say much more, but Baili Yunche could feel that this time, as she transitioned to the Qinglian Twelve Swords, her strength had achieved full progress!

Although she had not yet broken through to the Soul Transformation stage, she had the confidence to fight against a Cultivator of the Soul Transformation stage!

This was the terrifying combat power brought by a profound Cultivation Technique!

"Alright, the Sect Master should be getting anxious waiting. Let's hurry over to rendezvous!"

As they spoke, the three of them turned into a streak of purple light and galloped toward the Sect Master's main hall.

The plaza in front of the Sect Master's main hall was already crowded with Disciples.

There were around a hundred people, all with a cultivation level of at least the Core Formation Third Layer and above!

They were all Disciples going to participate in the Cangxuan Assembly, each and every one of them in high spirits and eager to try.

Although Zixia Peak was also one of the nine main peaks, Peak Master Luo Yunshang had always been aloof and proud, rarely accepting Disciples. Under her sect, only Baili Yunche and Liu Ruyan had cultivations that met the requirements of this assembly.

"Peak Master Luo, isn't your Zixia Peak arriving a bit too slowly? You've kept us waiting for a long time!"

Peak Master Lei Tianxing of Tianlei Peak snorted coldly. He wore a blue thunder robe with electric arcs swirling around his body, and his temper was as explosive as thunder.

"Exactly! The Disciples of our Heavenly Sword Peak have long since finished assembling, just waiting for your Zixia Peak!"

Peak Master Ling Baiyi of Heavenly Sword Peak also spoke indifferently. He was dressed in snow-white clothes, carrying a long sword on his back, and possessed a cold and stern temperament.

"Junior Sister Luo, your airs are getting bigger and bigger, making the Sect Master and various peak Revered Masters wait for you. Such great prestige!"

Peak Master Huyan Lie of Badao Peak said in a muffled voice. He had a robust figure with knotted muscles, and carried a giant saber as wide as a door panel on his back.

Peak Master Luo Yunshang's beautiful eyes turned cold, and just as she was about to retort, she saw those peak Revered Masters turning their heads one after another, a flash of shock in their eyes.

Because Peak Master Luo Yunshang had released her aura!

A fierce and vast Sword Intent emanated from within her body. Wherever it passed, even the air was cut to emit faint hissing sounds.

The strength of that aura had already surpassed the scope of the Ninth Layer of Nascent Soul, faintly touching another level!

"How is this possible!" Peak Master Lei Tianxing widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"She... has her strength increased?" Peak Master Ling Baiyi also furrowed his brows, shocked in his heart.

Other peak Revered Masters all had a thought emerge in their minds: Could Peak Master Luo Yunshang have already broken through to the Soul Transformation stage?

However, how could this be possible?

The Soul Transformation stage was a Realm countless Cultivators dreamed of. Once broken through, the Primordial Spirit could emerge to roam the world, the Lifespan would reach as long as a thousand years, and strength would undergo a qualitative leap.

Peak Master Luo Yunshang had been stuck at the Ninth Layer of Nascent Soul for many years, how could she suddenly break through?

What they did not know was that although Peak Master Luo Yunshang had not truly broken through to the Soul Transformation stage, after transitioning to the Qinglian Twelve Swords, her combat power was already comparable to the Early Stage of Soul Transformation!

"Alright, stop arguing! Get on the flying boat quickly!"

Sect Master Xuanyangzi spoke up.

He wore a golden Daoist robe with a majestic expression, commanding respect without being angry, and an unfathomable aura emanated from his body.

In the Xuanyang Sect, he was an existence whose word was law!

As soon as Sect Master Xuanyangzi said this, there was not the slightest objection. The various peak Revered Masters quickly restrained their auras and began organizing the Disciples to board the flying boat.

That flying boat was extremely magnificent, fully a hundred zhang long and ten zhang high, resembling a suspended small mountain!

The hull was entirely forged from profound iron and spiritual wood, with intricate flight Formations and defensive runes engraved on the surface, flickering with a faint spiritual light in the sunlight.

This was a Tier 4 flying boat of the Xuanyang Sect, the Xuanyang Feiyu Boat, capable of traveling ten thousand Li a day with astonishing defense, enough to withstand the attacks of several Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.

There were three layers of rooms on the flying boat.

The topmost one was naturally the room of Sect Master Xuanyangzi.

The second layer was the rooms for the nine peak Revered Masters and other Elders.

The third layer was the rooms for these participating Disciples.

The Xuanyang Sect was a full thirty thousand Li away from the Cangxuan Imperial Capital; even with this flying boat, it would take three days to arrive.

Rumble!

The Xuanyang Feiyu Boat slowly rose into the air, the Formation at the bottom of the boat glowed brightly, and a huge pillar of spiritual power gushed out, propelling the flying boat to gallop away into the distance.

The mountain gate of the Xuanyang Sect below gradually shrank, eventually turning into a tiny black dot and disappearing into the clouds.
