"Battle skills?"
Xiao Yun heard the words and looked at Emperor Tian in front of him, asking, "Master, please teach me battle skills."
Emperor Tian shook his head and smiled, "Battle skills cannot be practiced casually. They need to be tailored according to each person's talent and physique. In our Chaos Holy Land, there is a Star Pavilion that contains all the battle skills of our Holy Land. Once you enter, the Star Pavilion will automatically select battle skills for you."
"That's amazing!" Xiao Yun was amazed and quickly said, "Then, Master, please take me there!"
Emperor Tian chuckled and said, "My disciple, you're too eager. Remember, haste makes waste. You've just embarked on the path of cultivation for a day, there's no need to rush. Besides, your uncle is about to return, and his disciple will also go to select battle skills. You can go together."
"Alright!" Xiao Yun calmed down and continued to comprehend his own situation, familiarizing himself with the sudden surge of power.
After all, his strength had instantly become stronger, and he was still adjusting. If he were placed in the mortal world, he might have already shattered the ground. Fortunately, the Heavenly Palace's ground was protected by an array, which managed to withstand his immense power.
"Whoosh!"
Not long after, Uncle Fu returned on a cloud.
And behind Uncle Fu was a mischievous little girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a green dress with two small braids, looking cute and pretty.
"Young Master, congratulations on establishing an unparalleled foundation!" Uncle Fu saw that Xiao Yun had awakened from his meditation and congratulated him with a smile.
The little girl behind him stared at Xiao Yun with curiosity. She had already met Xiao Yun yesterday when he rang the Chaos Bell in the square. After all, Xiao Yun had attracted a lot of attention and was extremely dazzling.
"Uncle Fu, no need for excessive courtesy. By the way, is this your disciple?" Xiao Yun looked at the little girl behind Uncle Fu with some curiosity.
Uncle Fu smiled and pulled the little girl forward, pointing at Xiao Yun, "Xiao Ya, quickly greet your senior brother."
Lin Xiaoya blinked her big eyes and looked at Xiao Yun, smiling playfully, "Lin Xiaoya greets Senior Brother. Senior Brother, I heard that you gave up your status as a Divine Child, is that true?"
Uncle Fu's face changed, and he quickly reprimanded, "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Xiaoya's mouth immediately pouted, and tears welled up in her big watery eyes. She looked pitiful and aggrieved.
Xiao Yun smiled and waved his hand, "Uncle Fu, no need for that. I voluntarily gave up the status of a Divine Child, so why would I be angry if someone talks about it? Besides, one day, I will personally reclaim the position of Divine Child."
Uncle Fu thought of Xiao Yun's astonishing talent that erupted last night and nodded with a smile, "You're right. With Young Master's extraordinary talent, it's only a matter of time before you regain the position of Divine Child."
With that said, Uncle Fu took Lin Xiaoya to pay respects to Emperor Tian.
Emperor Tian looked at Lin Xiaoya in front of him, smiled slightly, and asked, "Good talent. The Chaos Bell should have rung three times yesterday, right?"
"Yes!" Lin Xiaoya obediently nodded.
Emperor Tian then looked at Uncle Fu and said with a smile, "With such talent, coupled with the foundation-building liquid I have prepared for many years, it should be no problem for her to reach the Extreme Body Refining Realm in the future."
"It's a stroke of luck for this little girl!" Uncle Fu laughed.
Lin Xiaoya blinked her big eyes, feeling puzzled. Was she able to reach the Extreme Body Refining Realm in the future not because of her talent but because of luck?
Seemingly understanding Lin Xiaoya's confusion, Uncle Fu pointed to the bronze cauldron in front of them and smiled, "This is the foundation-building liquid that the master has prepared for Young Master for many years. It incorporates many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, not inferior to the foundation-building liquid used by previous Holy Sons. Unfortunately, Young Master has already reached the Extreme Body Refining Realm and doesn't need this foundation-building liquid. So it's a fortunate opportunity for you. It's even better than entering the Extreme Body Refining Realm using the foundation-building liquid."
NINE levels in a day!
Lin Xiaoya looked at Xiao Yun beside her and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Coming from a prestigious clan herself, she knew how immense the difficulty of cultivating the "Chaos Scripture" was. She never expected Xiao Yun to break through nine levels in a single day. His talent was truly extraordinary!
"Uncle Fu, you're too kind with your praise," Xiao Yun humbly replied.
Uncle Fu then patted Lin Xiaoya's head and scolded, "Enough wasting time! Enter the cauldron immediately, activate the cultivation technique I taught you, and absorb the medicinal liquid. The young master is waiting to go to the Star Pavilion with you to choose battle skills. Don't keep him waiting."
"Yes!" Lin Xiaoya nodded in response and was waved away by Uncle Fu. She involuntarily flew above the bronze cauldron and gradually descended into it.
Xiao Yun observed the scene. Since the power of heaven and earth helped him establish his foundation, he had skipped the step of using foundation-building liquid, making him curious about the process.
As soon as Lin Xiaoya entered the cauldron, she immediately screamed, "Ah! It's so hot! Master, I'm going to be cooked. Are you trying to eat me by accepting me as your disciple?"
Uncle Fu's face turned black, and he hastily reprimanded, "You can't bear a little pain like this and still want to cultivate the grand Dao? Stop the nonsense and quickly activate the cultivation technique. Absorb the medicinal liquid with all your effort. These medicines are invaluable. A slight waste would bankrupt your entire clan."
"But it really hurts..." Lin Xiaoya continued to scream in agony.
Xiao Yun watched with lingering fear. Fortunately, he had gained enlightenment, or else he would be the one suffering from such torment.
Moreover, Lin Xiaoya endured the cooking for three hours, until noon, when Uncle Fu finally fished her out.
Uncle Fu waved his hand to dry Lin Xiaoya's clothes. Despite her morning of screams, she now looked more spirited and curiously examined her body. Excitement filled her two round eyes. "Such immense power! I should have reached the pinnacle of body refinement now, with at least the strength of 50,000 kilograms."
Unable to help himself, Uncle Fu scolded, "What's there to be proud of? Your senior brother, without using any foundation-building liquid, already possesses the strength of 100,000 kilograms. You still have a long way to go!"
"My senior brother is abnormal. I can't compare to him," Lin Xiaoya pouted.
Xiao Yun's face turned dark.
"Alright, Afu, you take them to the Star Pavilion to choose battle skills," Emperor Tian said with a smile.
Uncle Fu nodded, then summoned a cloud and carried Xiao Yun and Lin Xiaoya away from Emperor Peak, heading towards the Star Pavilion.
