Chapter 170

Yang Chen absorbed the Qi of the Sun into his Physique. For him, this was indeed a rare opportunity. With his current constitution, being the Solar Divine Physique*, he could directly absorb the Sun’s Qi released by the Yin-Yang Mirror.

[TN: Going forward, will be changing Sun God Physique to Solar Divine Physique]

As the Sun’s Qi flowed through his Physique, it was extremely hot, making his meridians feel as if they were on fire. However, this process tempered and refined his Physique, making it even more resilient.

Ultimately, all the Sun’s Qi gathered above the golden sun suspended over the sea of his true qi. The golden sun grew even brighter, its golden light blazing intensely, forming strands of golden flames.

The raging golden flames overflowed from the sea of true qi, coursing through Yang Chen’s meridians. Under the golden flames, even the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame dimmed significantly, engulfed and subdued by the golden blaze.

Yang Chen was somewhat surprised. The Primordial Fire of his Solar Divine Physique was this formidable. Even the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame became so docile before it.

Boom!

Yang Chen’s aura suddenly surged.

“I’ve broken through! Second Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm!” Yang Chen felt a surge of excitement.

For other cultivators who practiced fire techniques, the Sun’s Qi required careful absorption and gradual refinement, as a slight mistake could lead to catastrophic consequences. But with his Solar Divine Physique, which shared the same origin as the Sun’s Qi, he could directly absorb and convert it into his own cultivation! This was the terrifying power of the Solar Divine Physique!

Golden flames enveloped Yang Chen’s entire Physique, making him resemble a golden sun. The Sun’s Qi within the hall frantically converged towards him.

Zhan Lingshuang, observing this scene from the side, was full of shock.

When she had absorbed the Qi of the Moon, she had been extremely cautious, absorbing only a small amount before stopping immediately. At that time, she had barely reached the threshold of the Void Refinement Realm. But Chen’er, he dared to absorb the Sun’s Qi so recklessly.

“Could it be due to the constitution that Chen’er awakened previously?” Zhan Lingshuang recalled the night when a solar phenomenon appeared in the Heavenly.

“A Solar Constitution, naturally attuned to the Sun’s Qi! Such a constitution could indeed absorb the Sun’s Qi on a large scale! That must be the reason!”

Zhan Lingshuang felt relieved at this thought.

She had been worried that Yang Chen might be too hasty and absorb too much of the Sun’s Qi at once. Because if one absorbed too much Sun’s Qi, it could cause a backlash. In such a case, not only would there be no advancement in cultivation or enhancement of physical attributes, but survival would be at risk. But with Yang Chen’s Solar Constitution, it was different.

Bringing him here this time, even if they didn’t succeed in acquiring the Yin-Yang Mirror, the Sun’s Qi alone was a significant opportunity.

A few hours passed.

Within the hall, as the Sun’s Qi rapidly diminished, the black Qi of the Moon, lacking its symbiotic connection with the Sun’s Qi, began to gather on its own. Eventually, it coalesced into three drops of black liquid, suspended in the air, emanating a chilling glow.

“The Moon Water!” Zhan Lingshuang’s eyes lit up with joy.

She quickly took out a jade bottle and carefully absorbed the liquid into it. The Moon Water was extremely precious, with numerous mystical properties. Even in Heavenly Dao Holy Land, the Moon Water was a rare and sought-after treasure.

In Central Continent, the emergence of even a single drop of Moon Water could trigger a bloody struggle. Even colossal powers like holy lands would vie for it.

Isolated Yin does not thrive, isolated Yang does not grow. The Yin and Yang Qi of heaven and earth usually exist in a symbiotic state. Only in extreme places would pure Yin Qi or pure Sun Qi manifest. Even then, it would take tens of thousands of years for such a concentration to form the Moon Water.

Just like in this place. The Yin-Yang Mirror had been hanging here for hundreds of thousands of years, accumulating vast amounts of Yin Qi. Now that Yang Chen had absorbed all the Sun’s Qi, only the Yin Qi remained.

This led to the condensation of three drops of the Moon Water. Its rarity was evident.

“These three drops of Moon Water are a pleasant surprise! With them, once I refine them, my constitution might reach the Pure Yin Physique! If that happens, my chances of becoming the Holy Maiden will be greatly increased!” Zhan Lingshuang’s beautiful eyes gleamed with delight.

If her constitution advanced to the Pure Yin Physique, combined with her Profound Deep Cold Flame, her combat strength would be unmatched among those of the same level. Her chances of becoming the Holy Maiden would be significantly higher.

At this moment, the golden flames on Yang Chen’s Physique had receded.  He sat cross-legged on the ground, stabilizing his rapidly increased cultivation. His realm had already advanced from the Second Stage of the Soul Formation Realm, to the Fourth Stage of the Soul Formation Realm.

Most of the Sun’s Qi within him was now stored in the golden sun. Although his Solar Divine Physique allowed him to directly absorb the Sun’s Qi and convert it into cultivation, absorbing too much, while it could rapidly increase his realm, could also destabilize his foundation, hindering future progress.

Thus, Yang Chen chose to seal away this excess Sun’s Qi. After stabilizing his cultivation at the Fourth Stage of the Soul Formation Realm, he would gradually absorb it.

“In just a few hours, Chen’er went from First Stage of the Soul Formation Realm, to Fourth Stage of the Soul Formation Realm—he’s such a monster! At this rate, it won’t be long before his cultivation catches up to me, his master! How frustrating!” Zhan Lingshuang sighed helplessly.

Advancing through each stage of the Nascent Soul Realm typically required over a century, sometimes even several centuries. Even with her talents, it had taken her a century to progress from First Stage of the Soul Formation Realm, to Fourth Stage of the Soul Formation Realm. Yet now, Chen’er had managed it in mere hours.

At this moment, Yang Chen retracted his true qi, opened his eyes, and stood up.

“Master!” Yang Chen smiled slightly when he saw Zhan Lingshuang. Then he walked over.

However, Zhan Lingshuang’s eyes widened, her gaze fixed on a particular spot on his body.

“Master, what are you looking at?” Yang Chen followed her gaze downward.

Instantly, his expression froze. He quickly turned around.

“Master, you … why didn’t you warn me!”

Yang Chen’s voice held a mix of helplessness and reproach.

Initially, Zhan Lingshuang had felt a bit embarrassed. But hearing his tone of complaint and seeing his hurried reaction as if he feared her seeing anything, she grew irritated.

This ungrateful disciple—she, as his master, had raised him with her own hands. And now, he wouldn’t even let her take a look? That old woman Feng Yuwan, however …
