167: Chapter 167 Number Eight and Number Nine, The Second Attempt to Win Them Over

Before coming to Shenwu Mountain, Han Lingxi and several high-ranking figures from the Yin Mansion had pointed him in a certain direction.

That was the concept the Alliance had always advocated: the Trinity!

"Isn't that just Physical Body, Magic Power, and Soul? But I already have all three of those lights," Chen Xing said, puzzled.

"Then think about it: why is it called the Trinity?" Han Lingxi said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat as he thought of a staggering hypothesis.

"Exactly. Just as you fused Yin Light and Sunlight into the single light of Yin and Yang, you can also combine those three lights into one!" Han Lingxi's lips curled slightly.

"It can actually be done that way? It's unexpected, but... it makes sense."

Chen Xing took a sharp breath, finally understanding why the Alliance had always advocated this method; the Trinity was indeed powerful.

"So, you don't need to rush. Try to fuse the [Trinity] first, and it won't be too late to consider the Light of Death after you Breakthrough to the Three Heavens Realm," Han Lingxi smiled.

"I understand, this Disciple will keep it in mind!" Chen Xing nodded solemnly.

During his time cultivating on Shenwu Mountain, he was not only comprehending the Tyrant Body technique but also using the environment to attempt the Fusion.

The legendary Trinity was indeed powerful, but it was also very difficult to achieve. Currently, he was stuck at a bottleneck, just one step away.

"Time's up, I should head out. Keep cultivating; I look forward to the day your Tyrant Body is complete and you condense your seed." On the stone platform, Chen Xing stood up.

"Get lost, get lost, don't bother me!" Qin Feng waved his hands repeatedly.

"Hahaha..." Chen Xing turned and left.

...

Shortly after, Chen Xing went to the Star Tower to meet and talk with Su He.

Learning that the strongest Spirit Seed Realm was visiting, the Star Tower showed great welcome and provided proper etiquette.

On the gray planet, Chen Xing and Su He sat facing each other, discussing the changes involving the Trinity.

"Three singular planets—Body, Magic, and Soul. If they were three-in-one, it would indeed be unimaginable, and it would even free up two slots," Su He said in a heavy voice.

"Free them up? But I heard that a person's upper limit isn't nine paths; one can advance toward ten, or even more," Chen Xing countered.

"Nine paths is the limit for a Mortal; ten paths is something only a True God can master. How can it be the same?" Su He said irritably.

"The top three in the world... no, everyone in the top ten has ten paths, and Hua even has twelve," Chen Xing said calmly.

"You know they are the top ten in the world. The Universe is so vast and there are so many experts; for them to stand out among countless people, they can't even be viewed as human anymore," Su He said.

"It doesn't matter. My goal anyway is to master as many as I can. If possible, it would be best to master all five forbidden paths," Chen Xing said lazily.

"You want to master them all? That's a path even a Main God wouldn't dare attempt lightly." Su He was speechless.

"Why not? If I try, I might succeed; if I don't try, it's impossible," Chen Xing smiled.

"Hmm..." Those casual words left Su He deep in thought.

With a 'swoosh', a Venerable appeared nearby, interrupting their conversation.

He said, "Chen Xing, someone is looking for you. They asked for you by name, and only you."

Chen Xing stood up. "Who?"

The Venerable said solemnly, "The Flower God Guardss."

Hearing this, Chen Xing and Su He exchanged a glance.

...

Star Tower, Guest Star.

Inside the hall of a mountain villa.

Chen Xing followed the Venerable inside and immediately saw Li Yueran sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed, resting.

There was also a black-haired, gold-eyed man sitting in a wild posture, sizing him up with a scrutinizing gaze.

"They are both experts..." Su He's face was solemn, as if facing a great enemy.

"Are you... that blondie?" Chen Xing looked at Number Nine and asked tentatively.

"What blondie? Back then, I had an error in my cultivation, and it was just a minor side effect. I'm back to normal now!" Jin Shengluo stood up and pinched his long black hair.

"Sorry, I didn't recognize you," Chen Xing chuckled.

Li Yueran opened her eyes and stood up to meet his gaze. Invisibly, the Divine Beast pressure belonging to a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was released.

"I told you I would give you three chances. This is the second. Are you... willing to become the eleventh Flower God Guards?" she spoke, her voice pleasant to the ear.

"I thought my refusal was clear enough," Chen Xing said expressionlessly.

"Truly ungrateful. Young man, do you know what kind of Opportunity this is?" Jin Shengluo shook his head.

"To me, it's not much. It's not even as appealing as the Yinyang Mountain opening next month," Chen Xing said bluntly.

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Jin Shengluo's mouth twitched, and veins faintly bulged on his forehead.

"You're a bit arrogant, kid." As he spoke, he released his aura. The sky darkened, and the entire villa began to shake.

Facing this person was like facing an ancient Vicious Beast; behind him, Chen Xing saw the shadow of a mythical Roc.

S-class Golden-Winged Eagle—this was Jin Shengluo's Ability, which had once placed in the top hundred of the All-Universe Tournament.

Now that he followed Hua Zizai, his strength had become even greater, one could even call it a metamorphosis.

"Number Nine!" Li Yueran growled. She immediately exploded with Qi, and a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox flickered into view, its presence nearly bursting the house apart.

"Got it." Seeing this, Jin Shengluo withdrew his pressure.

"So this is... a top hundred expert in the world, a Flower God Guards..." Su He's expression was incredibly solemn as she compared herself to the opponent.

In the future, would she have the chance to surpass them?

Su He had some confidence, but not much. However, seeing Chen Xing's indifferent face, her heart felt much steadier.

"You might... have some misunderstandings," Li Yueran stepped forward and said.

"This is just to have you as a guard, not a nanny. If you don't want to serve tea or water, no one will force you. On the contrary, by staying by the Lord's side, you will gain unimaginable benefits. Why not do it?" she said.

"If it's so good, why aren't the second and third strongest in the world serving as guards?" Chen Xing's lips curled slightly.

"What are you trying to say?" Li Yueran was startled.

"I think I've figured it out. The selection of guards isn't actually Hua Zizai's order; you are the ones seeking power for him, right?" Chen Xing spoke.

Hearing this, Li Yueran and Jin Shengluo exchanged a glance and remained silent, which served as a tacit admission.

"Because you can't beat the Dao God of Primordial Origin, and you can't beat the Ultimate Slaughter, so you have no way to recruit them. Am I right?" Chen Xing laughed.

"If you are only saying this to mock us, I can tell you: yes, it is so. I accept this criticism," Li Yueran nodded slowly.

"Hey, don't act so high and mighty, as if you could beat them," Jin Shengluo said coldly.

Chen Xing waved his hand slightly. "You've also misunderstood something. I have no intention of belittling you."

Li Yueran frowned. "Then what do you mean by that?"

Chen Xing smiled. "What I mean is, since you can't beat them and can't recruit them, it's simple: in a fair fight at the same Realm, if you beat me, I'll agree to your request. How about it?"
