Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 208 - 206: Bro, I Have a Cousin

"Can we win?"

Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang stared with wide eyes!

In this moment, the distortion of heaven and earth appeared before their eyes with intense clarity, as if everything around them had been slowed down by several times!

Boom!

The deafening explosion thundered out, as if heaven and earth were collapsing!

Soon after, a violent shockwave swept out unstoppably, ripping through everything with overwhelming force, surging in all directions!

Wherever it passed, the ground was lifted in heavy waves, wild energy shooting into the sky—it was truly terrifying!

Zhang Hong, Yun Kaiyang, and the others retreated in terror once more!

Just this aftershock alone would be enough to severely injure them!

Only when the aftershocks faded did they dare open their eyes and rush forward.

And then, they saw a scene that made their hearts tremble!

Xu Yang straightened up slowly with his saber in hand, a smear of blood glistening on the pitch-black Demon Dragon Saber.

In front of him, the Martial Artist of the Yuanli Sect stood rigidly upright, eyes vacant and lifeless!

From afar, more figures swept closer, all drawn by the commotion here!

The wind rose suddenly!

Whoosh!

The Yuanli Sect Martial Artist suddenly split in two, collapsing to the ground.

He’d been cleaved in half with a single swing!

"Hiss!"

Many Martial Artists who arrived and saw this scene didn’t fully understand, but all of them broke out in goosebumps.

Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang were even more shocked, their scalps tingling, left completely speechless!

The shock was just too great.

The same Yin Yang Five Extremes Mirror!

One against two!

Instant kill!

"What happened here?"

"Damn, Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang are both here—what’s going on?"

"Who’s that guy?"

...

The newcomers were still in the dark, murmuring among themselves.

Xu Yang, however, felt a wave of weakness wash over him.

Pfah!

His body swayed, and he spat out fresh blood!

The fading power of the Yin Yang Five Extremes Mirror left every bone in his body surging with tearing agony, utterly exhausted!

"Xu Yang, are you alright?" Zhang Hong hurried over in concern.

"After using the Yin Yang Five Extremes Mirror, the weakness is severe, but the side effects aren’t too bad."

"It’s nothing!"

Xu Yang shook his head with difficulty.

"Yun Kaiyang admits defeat!"

Yun Kaiyang walked over, cupped his fist to Xu Yang and spoke sincerely.

As the number one genius of the Yunshan Clan, maybe he couldn’t compare to Song Yuanhao or Zheng Qi, but he was still among the best in all of Qingzhou!

Even against Zhang Hong, he hadn’t conceded!

His pride was unmatched!

But after this battle, he was thoroughly convinced by Xu Yang, both in heart and words!

Not convinced?

Why don’t you damn well try—see if a Yin Realm martial artist can cut down a Half-step Myriad Phenomena?!

Freak!

Xu Yang took a deep breath and forced a wry smile: "This time, I guess it was because of me—thank goodness I killed one earlier, otherwise we’d really be in trouble."

Both of them looked at the corpses on the ground, still shaken!

"Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association?"

"It should be Yuanli Sect, but the Yin Yang Five Extremes Mirror most likely came from Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association," Xu Yang said.

Judging by Song Yuanhao’s character, if it were his people, it would never have been just like this!

It could only be Yuanli Sect!

Moreover, Song Yuanhao knew the Zhang Family and Yunshan Clan were working together, so he wouldn’t make trouble for himself at a time like this!

Using Yuanli Sect to take the fall was the perfect choice!

"Yuanli Sect? Hmph!"

Yun Kaiyang snorted coldly, "Don’t worry, brother—when this is over, I’ll make sure Yuanli Sect pays for this!"

Zhang Hong nodded in agreement!

Xu Yang grinned widely.

Used as a tool by Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association... Surely, they promised Yuanli Sect plenty of benefits!

Just not sure if Yuanli Sect will ever get the chance to enjoy them!

Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association’s forces in Qingzhou were about to be uprooted—never mind anything else.

Xu Yang rested a while, then went straight to the center of the Thousand-Layered Flower, sitting cross-legged right in the heart of its petals!

All around, Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang stood guard, along with Martial Artists from the Zhang Family and Yunshan Clan!

Those who didn’t know the inside story were utterly awestruck by the scene!

But those who did had not a word of objection!

He deserved this—absolutely!

"The Yin Yang Five Extremes Mirror drained me heavily, so using this state to break through to the Yang Realm is perfect!"

Xu Yang found himself feeling grateful to those two ill-fated fools!

Then, he quietly closed his eyes and activated the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture!

Waves of pure energy surged from the petals below him, and in the blink of an eye, thick spiritual mist enveloped him completely!

The Thousand-Layered Flower was unlike ordinary treasure—its essence was forged layer by layer, vast and pure. Absorbing it into the body brought a profound refinement to any Martial Artist’s foundation!

Moreover, its energy lived up to its name—thousand layers interweaving, each one stronger than the last.

The benefits for Martial Artists were even greater!

Time passed slowly, and the area gradually calmed. With Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang there, no one dared provoke them!

Two days later, Xu Yang had fully recovered!

His aura rose and transformed at an astonishing speed!

On the fifth day!

Most of the Thousand-Layered Flower’s petals had withered and died off, and even the spirit spring within the lake was nearly dried up!

"Still a bit short!"

Xu Yang sensed his state, then slowly linked to the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod!

Within it, a huge amount of Purest Essence Qi burst forth.

Boom!

Boom!

Xu Yang shuddered all over, every bone resonating, flesh glowing like jade, tendons and bones steaming with clouds of spiritual mist. His whole being seemed to bathe in a dazzling radiance!

No longer resembling a mortal!

Both Yun Kaiyang and Zhang Hong were stunned.

"Is this really the Yang Realm breakthrough?"

"Why does it feel even grander than breaking through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm?"

Boom!

The withered Thousand-Layered Flower suddenly shattered.

The lotus-like figure sitting atop rose to his feet in a flash.

An aura of unimaginable power, pure, resolute, and yang, hung aloft like a blazing sun, illuminating all around, causing the temperature to spike and making the air so thick with energy that all present felt restless and agitated!

Zhang Hong and the others turned pale—as if facing down that Half-step Myriad Phenomena Martial Artist from Yuanli Sect all over again!

"And he’s only at the Early Stage of the Yang Realm..."

One by one, awestruck gazes watched him!

"The Yang Realm! Half-step Myriad Phenomena is powerless before me; even a true Early Stage Myriad Phenomena, unless they trap me with the Lock God Seal or Spirit Lock Seal, will still suffer for it!"

Xu Yang’s face lit with a brilliant smile, his tightly clenched fist slowly relaxing, and he threw back his head with a long roar, its echoes booming through the mountains and forests, sending every plant and creature into stillness, birds and beasts dropping to the ground!

After a while, he descended from the sky!

"Congratulations, brother!"

"Congratulations!"

Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang hurried up to offer their congratulations, unable to hide the reverence in their eyes!

"Thanks to you both for guarding me!"

Xu Yang cupped his fists and asked, "How much time left until it’s over?"

"Two days!"

"I’m thinking of trying to refine a fifth-tier super-grade..."

Zhang Hong’s pupils shrank and he instantly said, "Brother, wait here, I’ll go find Spirit Elixirs!"

"Me too!"

How could Yun Kaiyang fall behind?

The two of them instantly dashed out.

Seeing this, Xu Yang couldn’t help smiling in amusement.

Fifth-tier super-grade—the significance is astonishing!

It corresponded to the Yang Realm tier!

For the Zhang Family, or even stronger factions, the Yang Realm was the backbone and hope for the future!

The transformation brought by fifth-tier super-grade pills went without saying!

Xu Yang was happy to relax and wait!

Half a day later.

Zhang Hong returned first, rubbing his hands, "Brother, I barely scraped together a few sets of fifth-tier Profound Sun Elixir ingredients!"

Profound Sun Elixir—the most basic cultivation pill of the fifth tier!

For a fifth-tier Alchemist, it’s not too difficult to refine!

"Four sets—that should be enough."

Xu Yang took a glance and sat down on the spot, calling forth the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod!

With four sets, the second technique of Lord Jun will be enough.

Although he’d just entered the Yang Realm, Xu Yang was fully confident about refining beginner-level fifth-tier super-grade pills like the Profound Sun Elixir.

But for the top-tier pills that Ning Wuyang needed, he’d have to wait a bit longer!

He tossed all four sets into the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod and focused all his mind on controlling it.

Zhang Hong was tense as could be beside him.

At that moment, Yun Kaiyang arrived as well.

When he saw this scene, his eyes instantly widened: "Already started? What ingredients did you find?"

"Profound Sun Elixir!"

"Don’t distract him!"

Zhang Hong shot Yun Kaiyang a glare, whispering.

Yun Kaiyang glared back but shut up, staring intently.

Fifth-tier super-grade, after all!

At Xu Yang’s speed, it wouldn’t take long before he could even refine the fifth-tier super-grade pills needed by the likes of them and Zhang Hong!

By then, with such miraculous elixirs, wouldn’t breakthroughs to Myriad Phenomena Realm come much easier than for their peers?

Thinking so, Yun Kaiyang’s eyes burned even brighter!

Half an hour later.

The divine tripod shuddered, radiating dazzling light!

"Is it done?"

The two stretched their necks to look.

Whoosh!

A single pill shot out, nearly trying to escape!

But Xu Yang was ready; the instant it emerged, he caught it in his palm!

His palm trembled, and the Profound Sun Elixir finally stilled.

Xu Yang opened his hand, revealing a crystal-clear pill, platinum-golden in color!

Pill patterns nearly alive, radiating like a miniature sun, burning with intense pure yang!

The surging vitality was like a tide, and Zhang Hong and Yun Kaiyang felt it to their very cores!

"Super-grade!"

"Fifth-tier super-grade!"

Watching Xu Yang succeed with their own eyes, both of them were flushed with excitement, trembling all over as if they themselves had refined it!

"Bro, I have a cousin—she’s really pretty. When we get out of here, how about I introduce you two?"

Yun Kaiyang gulped and stared at Xu Yang with sparkling eyes!
