Chapter 87
“Xiao Chen, I’m sorry. Qingwu will leave in three days. By then, Qingwu will not trouble or burden you. Let Qingwu accompany you for three more days?
Sigh … ”
Dongfang Qingwu stared blankly at Xiao Chen’s back as he walked into the house. Her heart was filled with sadness. Two streams of tears unknowingly rolled down her pure and beautiful cheeks …
Xiao Chen went straight to his room on the second floor. He glanced helplessly at Da Huang, who was curled up under the bed, sleeping soundly. He knew that unless his life was in danger, Da Huang would not make a move under normal circumstances.
Just like the battle at the Yue Clan, he did not know how many sword and saber wounds he had suffered. He could have died at any time, but he still did not see Da Huang make a move.
Sometimes, Xiao Chen suspected that Da Huang wished for him to die, so that he could leave alone and live a carefree life.
Xiao Chen felt helpless towards a god like Da Huang. However, he did not blame Da Huang. After all, one had to rely on oneself to strengthen oneself. Without experiencing countless life and death battles, how could one become stronger?
A flower in a greenhouse could not withstand the wind and rain. If one always wished to be protected, then what was the point of cultivation?
Xiao Chen was not a flower. He was a lone wolf. He wanted to become stronger. He wanted to tear apart all the strong enemies in front of him. He wanted to move forward fearlessly!
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the bed. Following that, he took out a jade bottle and opened it. He poured out a round, dark green elixir the size of a peanut.
This was a Desolate Yuan Elixir. It was a fifth-grade Desolate Yuan Elixir. It was given to him by Grandma Liu from the Liu family in the morning. He did not expect to use it in the afternoon.
Other than being able to quickly replenish the Power of Desolates, the Desolate Yuan Elixir also had the effects of strengthening one’s body and healing.
After the battle, Xiao Chen had lost quite a bit of his Desolate Power. Recuperating required a large amount of Desolate Power. Hence, Xiao Chen decided to consume a Desolate Yuan Elixir to recuperate. At the same time, he wanted to see the effects of a fifth-grade Desolate Yuan Elixir.
“Gu!”
With a swallowing sound, the expensive fifth-grade Desolate Yuan Elixir was swallowed by Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen immediately closed his eyes and entered into a cultivation state. He started the process of refining and absorbing the Desolate Yuan Elixir and healing his injuries.
The moment the Desolate Yuan Pill entered Xiao Chen’s stomach, it instantly transformed from a solid pill into a small ball of green liquid. The green liquid contained rich Desolate Energy. Only the Desolate Energy could be absorbed by Xiao Chen’s body and be transformed into Xiao Chen’s Desolate Power.
Comfortable!
This was the first feeling that the green liquid gave to Xiao Chen. The green liquid gave off a warm and comfortable feeling. It also had a tinge of coolness. It was very magical.
This wonderful feeling quickly spread throughout Xiao Chen’s body. It was so comfortable that Xiao Chen nearly moaned and lost his mind. Fortunately, Xiao Chen had a strong mental fortitude and eventually calmed down.
The green liquid slowly transformed into a gaseous form of Desolate Energy. It seeped into Xiao Chen’s muscles, organs, bones and meridians. Xiao Chen did not waste any more time. He immediately used his Divine Perception to guide the Desolate Energy into the six main meridians that had been cleared.
The Desolate Energy and the remaining Power of Desolate in the meridians blended together and flowed along the meridians. When it reached the Dantian, it returned to the meridians and completed a cycle. Then, it continued the same cycle.
The circulation of the Power of Desolate was not chaotic, but there was a certain cultivation technique route. The cultivation technique route was the so-called Desolate Technique in the Huang Shen continent. The Desolate Technique was the same as the Desolate Skills. It was also divided into nine grades. Of course, there might be higher grades, but the Huang Shen continent only knew that the Desolate Technique was at grade nine.
Xiao Chen had a grade six Desolate Technique, the Tyrant Universe Technique. It was an incomplete Desolate Technique. This incomplete technique was not really incomplete, but it was rumored that there were three more pages of the Desolate Technique. If he could obtain the three more pages of the Desolate Technique, this Tyrant Universe Technique would become a perfect Desolate Technique, reaching the legendary grade nine Desolate Technique.
The Tyrant Universe Technique was given to Xiao Chen by his grandfather, Xiao Batian. The Desolate Technique that Xiao Batian cultivated was not the Tyrant Universe Technique, but another grade six Desolate Technique.
The reason why Xiao Batian allowed Xiao Chen to cultivate the Tyrant Universe Technique was because the Tyrant Universe Technique was obtained by Xiao Batian from the corpse of a peerless expert.
The Tyrant Universe Technique was now a complete Desolate Technique, so it did not affect cultivation. What Xiao Batian valued was its potential for development. This was because there was a line of indiscernible words engraved on the corner of the ancient scroll. Fortunately, Xiao Batian had a high cultivation level and his eyesight was amazing. He could clearly see what was written on it and was extremely surprised.
This sentence was: The Tyrant Universe Technique was originally a grade nine Desolate Technique. It still had three more pages of the Desolate Technique. However, due to external factors, the three pages of the Desolate Technique were separated from the main Desolate Technique and were lost. No one knew where they ended up. In the end, the Tyrant Universe Technique was reduced to a grade six Desolate Technique. If anyone could gather the three pages of the Desolate Technique, they would be able to merge it with the main Desolate Technique to form a perfect and incomparably powerful grade nine Desolate Technique.
Although Xiao Batian did not completely believe this sentence, he still believed it a little. With a glimmer of hope, he allowed Xiao Chen to cultivate this mysterious Desolate Technique, hoping that one day, Xiao Chen would be able to gather the three pages of the Desolate Technique and obtain a legendary grade nine Desolate Technique.
High-grade Desolate Techniques were much rarer than high-grade Desolate Techniques. On the surface, the highest grade of Desolate Technique in the Hades God Continent was grade seven. However, grade seven Desolate Techniques were pitifully rare. It was rumored that only the peerless experts in the continent could possess them. Normally, warriors would cultivate grade three to grade six Desolate Techniques. A grade six Desolate Technique might be possessed by the assassin clan, but it was hard to say for the other eight great clans. It could be seen that a grade six Desolate Technique was quite precious.
There were more high-grade Desolate Techniques than high-grade Desolate Techniques. For example, Xiao Chen’s Chaos Divine Sound was a grade eight Desolate Technique. Normally, large clans would possess grade five to grade seven Desolate Techniques. It was almost impossible to obtain a grade eight Desolate Technique. The Chaos Divine Sound was passed down to Xiao Chen by Xiao Batian. It was unknown where Xiao Batian learned it from.
It was rumored that a grade nine Desolate Technique was extinct in the Hades God Continent. It might have been buried deep underground or in some forbidden land with some peerless experts. There was a certain possibility that it would see the light of day again.
Just by hearing its name, one could tell that it was the extremely overbearing Desolate Technique, Dominating the Universe. Unfortunately, it was not perfect, so its power could not be fully displayed.
Even so, after cultivating this Desolate Technique, Xiao Chen’s cultivation speed was extremely fast. During battle, the circulation of his Power of Desolation was also extremely fast and overbearing.
Xiao Chen relied on the Desolate Technique to quickly refine the Desolate Yuan Elixir, absorbing and transforming the Desolate Energy. At the same time, he constantly repaired his damaged muscles and reconnected his broken bones and meridians.
A grade five Desolate Yuan Elixir was indeed a mid-high grade Desolate Yuan Elixir. The Desolate Energy it contained was extremely majestic. Furthermore, through the means of an alchemy master, the violent elements in the Desolate Yuan Elixir had been removed, causing the Desolate Energy in the Desolate Yuan Elixir to become gentle.
This was also the reason why the Desolate Yuan Elixir could not be directly absorbed and refined by warriors. Instead, it had to be refined into a Desolate Yuan Elixir by an alchemy master.
Of course, this was not absolute. Some powerful people could directly swallow a Desolate Yuan Elixir without exploding. However, this was an exception.
Xiao Chen’s injuries were not too serious. After half a day of recuperation, his injuries were almost healed. However, the green liquid in his abdomen was only half consumed.
Xiao Chen naturally would not waste the Desolate Yuan Elixir. He continued his cultivation and began refining the remaining Desolate Yuan Elixir liquid to increase his Power of Desolation and increase his cultivation level.
As he constantly refined and absorbed the grade five Desolate Yuan Elixir, Xiao Chen felt that his muscles, organs, bones, meridians, etc. were gradually becoming stronger. They were becoming stronger and more resilient. Furthermore, he felt that his consciousness was becoming stronger at an extremely slow speed. It was a refreshing feeling.
Indeed!
A grade five Desolate Yuan Elixir had a small effect of strengthening one’s foundation. In layman’s terms, it could strengthen one’s foundation and nurture one’s Primordial Soul. Primordial Soul was another way of saying one’s consciousness.
Xiao Chen was secretly delighted. He had just broken through to the third stage of the White Tiger Realm and his foundation was not too stable. The grade five Desolate Yuan Elixir had helped him greatly as it could even increase his cultivation level.
Xiao Chen was silently grateful to the Liu family’s kind-hearted Grandma Liu. He secretly swore that he would repay Grandma Liu well in the future.
