Chapter 172: New Discovery, Attribute Permanence! And… Fusion Manual!

In the ancient city, after wandering for a while, Meng Changqing returned to the cloud ship.

As for the Shi brothers, they wanted to play a bit longer.

Meng Changqing naturally let them.

As beings in the Divine Attainment Realm, in this ancient city, unless the Chen family’s ancestor acted, no one could threaten them.

Upon arriving at the attic, Meng Changqing sat cross-legged.

It was time to choose an attribute to fuse.

“System, can the selected attributes be permanently retained?”

Meng Changqing suddenly asked.

The brothers’ goodwill had increased, so he had two chances to choose attributes.

But strictly speaking, he only needed one at the moment.

That was the “Royal Star Manual: Volume One.”

As for Volume Two, it was still in the beginner stage, not urgent to choose.

If it could be retained, he could wait until they mastered it.

“Yes,” the system answered, “provided the host keeps an attribute selection card for this use.”

Hearing this, Meng Changqing’s eyes lit up.

Good thing he asked, otherwise it would have been wasted!

“System, fuse Shi Yao’s ‘Royal Star Manual: Volume One: Star Transformation’!”

Meng Changqing silently thought.

Ding!

【One attribute selection card consumed!】

【Attribute obtained: ‘Royal World Celestial Manual: Volume One: Star Transformation’ (Perfection)!】

【Fusion begins!】

As soon as the words fell, a vast stream of information poured in.

Although this volume was only earth-level high-grade, its profundity was nearly heaven-level beginner.

At the same time, Meng Changqing’s physical body began to tremble.

You could clearly see starlight emerging on his skin, with faint star shadows around.

If it weren’t for the attic’s formation, the phenomenon would have been visible outside.

About one incense stick later, the fusion was complete.

Meng Changqing slowly opened his eyes.

They seemed to contain an endless galaxy, vast and deep.

With a slight thought, his skin appeared like crystal, emitting dazzling starlight, exuding an indestructible aura.

It seemed no force could shatter it!

“So strong,” Meng Changqing took a deep breath.

He felt like he had become a star in the sky, extremely heavy and hard.

Moreover, his body was filled with power.

Every punch felt like a falling star!

As a top-tier body refining technique, the manual wasn’t just for defense; it was outstanding in all aspects!

“Star power.” Meng Changqing examined his meridians.

After activating the technique, what flowed out was true star essence.

With the star power, it lacked the sharpness of the Sword Sutra but had immense divine power!

“With this punch, even a Life and Death Realm warrior with weak defenses would be annihilated, dying instantly with no time to recover!” Meng Changqing smiled slightly.

He felt more relaxed.

This way, his defensive weakness was compensated for.

No need to worry about assassins skilled in ambushes.

As mentioned earlier, the manual, though high grade earth level, was nearly heaven-level, and with the top-tier body refining bloodline, the training efficiency and effect far surpassed ordinary people.

So the star transformation in his hand was already equivalent to beginner heaven-level!

“Now, it’s up to the brothers to master the second volume.”

Meng Changqing smiled.

And there’s Bai Suxi. He was eagerly anticipating the True Demon Technique: Intermediate.

Thinking deeply, having so many diligent friends was indeed a fortunate and joyous thing in life!

With such friends, what more could he ask for?

—

Soon, two days passed.

The rest was over.

The elder returned to the cloud ship, accompanied by two people.

One looked middle-aged, the other young.

Both were in the Divine Attainment Realm.

However, the former was at the eighth level, while the latter was at the first level and seemed a bit unstable, evidently having just broken through.

Hearing the elder’s transmission, Meng Changqing ended his practice and came out.

“Changqing, come here,” the elder smiled and said.

“Senior Brother,” Meng Changqing walked over, his gaze falling on the two.

“This is Chen Shaoyang, head of the Chen family from Fengling Ancient City, and his daughter, Chen Wanru.”

The elder introduced, “Hundreds of years ago, they had good relations with our Tai Xuan Sect.”

Hearing this, Meng Changqing understood.

No wonder the elder chose to rest here.

It turned out there was an allied force.

“Indeed, the Life and Death Realm!” Chen Shaoyang was amazed.

The elder had mentioned it these days, but he didn’t believe it. Under thirty-five years old in the Life and Death Realm?

Only a peerless genius could achieve that.

Tai Xuan Sect had been declining for nearly two hundred years. How could they have such a disciple?

So he had to see for himself.

Unexpectedly, it was true!

The aura of life and death around this young man was identical to that of his ancestor!

And judging by his appearance, he was only in his early twenties?

Thinking of this, Chen Shaoyang couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

He was even more talented than Xi Yingqing back then!

Beside him, Chen Wanru also swallowed.

She was nearly thirty, just barely entering the Divine Attainment Realm, which was already very impressive.

She was a top genius!

But compared to this monster in front of her, she instantly lost all brilliance!

“Our families have been close for over three hundred years. Why would I lie to you?” The elder chuckled, a proud look in his eyes.

“Elder,” not far away, the Shi brothers, Mo Xiaoyu, Han Luoyu, and others also approached.

They looked young, powerful, and full of vitality, astonishing Chen Shaoyang.

It took a while for him to recover.

“Brother Lin, are you aiming to revive the glory of two hundred years ago?” Chen Shaoyang asked.

“Perhaps,” the elder smiled and cupped his hands, “Alright, Brother Chen, we have to continue our journey, so we’ll take our leave.”

Hearing this, Chen Shaoyang could only nod, pulling Chen Wanru back.

But his gaze lingered on Meng Changqing and the Shi brothers.

Even as the cloud ship quickly left, he didn’t look away.

“Father, is this the Tai Xuan Sect you mentioned?

“A newly promoted first-rank sect?”

Chen Wanru couldn’t help asking.

“Yes,” Chen Shaoyang nodded with emotion.

“Does this look like a newly promoted first-rank sect?” Chen Wanru was speechless.

All those disciples were in the Divine Attainment Realm!

And that young sect master was in the Life and Death Realm!

The same level as their ancestor!

“Indeed it doesn’t, but it’s understandable.” Chen Shaoyang withdrew his gaze and said softly.

“How is this understandable?” Chen Wanru was puzzled.

“This sect is not simple. Nearly two hundred years ago, they produced seventeen top-tier geniuses simultaneously, plus a peerless monster!”
