Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

'Forming a Divine Pill and breaking through to the Small Divine Ability Realm was just the first step. The real show is about to begin!'

Yang Xiao observed the perfect Divine Pill within him, formed from the Seventy-two Small Divine Techniques. With a single thought, endless Secret Patterns materialized on the surface of the golden Divine Pill. These were the very Chaos Secret Patterns he had just comprehended.

The Secret Patterns vanished in a flash.

The golden Divine Pill seemed unchanged.

But Yang Xiao knew otherwise.

The Divine Pill had changed.

Not only did it now possess the power of Chaos, but it had also become a perfect vessel.

Next up

was the Fire Secret Pattern.

Yang Xiao was most familiar with the Fire Secret Pattern, as he had been born a Fire Deity.

Thus, in an instant, countless Fire Secret Patterns appeared on this first Divine Pill.

Moreover, they were Fire Origin Secret Patterns.

They were vastly different from ordinary Fire Secret Patterns, much like the difference between ordinary Gold Element Power and Gold Element Origin Power.

And after they coalesced, they directly ignited a Pill Fire.

Though just ignited, this Pill Fire possessed a power not inferior to the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire, or even the True Greater Yang Fire, yet it was completely different from both.

Compared to the True Greater Yang Fire, it was somewhat gentler.

'This Pill Fire is balanced and mild, making it ideal for Alchemy. I wonder what kind of Pill Fires the other Secret Patterns will grant me?'

A faint smile touched Yang Xiao's lips.

The power within his body surged once more.

Another Divine Pill, condensed from the power of the Seventy-two Small Divine Techniques, appeared inside him.

The moment this Divine Pill appeared,

the profound power within Yang Xiao was instantly depleted. He wasn't concerned, however; for this period of seclusion, he had prepared a vast amount of Spirit Medicine and Divine Essence Stones.

With a single, effortless inhale,

he replenished the energy in his body.

Then, with another thought, he followed the same procedure, inscribing the Chaos Secret Pattern onto this Divine Pill while also integrating another Secret Pattern—this time, it was the Pure Yang Secret Pattern.

'Success or failure, it all comes down to this!'

At this moment, even Yang Xiao felt a little tense.

Although he was confident he was on the right path, he had only just finished condensing one Divine Pill so far.

That first Divine Pill had been a combination of the Chaos Secret Pattern and the Fire Secret Pattern, completely modeled after the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire.

This new one was the first combination of Secret Patterns truly directed by Yang Xiao himself.

Pure Yang and Chaos.

Would it really work?

The answer was revealed soon enough.

An Unparalleled Divine Pill radiating an endless brilliance appeared within him.

It was like a miniature sun,

illuminating Yang Xiao's Qi Sea.

'Success! HAHA! By integrating the Chaos Secret Pattern, my Pure Yang Secret Pattern seems to have become purer, nobler. Its power isn't the least bit inferior to the first Divine Pill! And I can sense an inexplicable connection between the two of them.'

This connection, coupled with the Chaos Secret Pattern,

gave Yang Xiao confidence that when his cultivation reached the level requiring the Ten Thousand Daos to Unite, he would definitely succeed.

With this thought, his confidence soared.

The energy within him surged once more.

The third Divine Pill was born.

This time, with two successful experiences behind him, Yang Xiao was much more relaxed.

Soon, a Divine Pill integrated with the Time Secret Pattern appeared.

Looking at this Divine Pill covered in silver secret patterns, Yang Xiao was suddenly struck by a feeling. He felt that his Power of Time was no longer like rootless duckweed; instead, like his True Greater Yang Fire, it now had a foundation, a source.

Power like this

was all the more formidable.

And so,

Yang Xiao began a frenzied cultivation process.

The fourth: a Wood Element Divine Pill!

The fifth: a Devouring Divine Pill!

The sixth: a Fiery Yang Divine Pill!

The seventh: a Gold Element Origin Divine Pill!

The eighth: a Void Divine Pill!

The ninth: a Lesser Yang Divine Pill!

The tenth: a True Yang Divine Pill!

The eleventh: a Spiritual Yang Divine Pill!

The twelfth: an Emperor's Divine Pill!

One Divine Pill after another

was born within him.

Each and every one was fused with the power of the Heart of Secret Patterns.

It could be said that anyone possessing even a single one of these Divine Pills could be called an unparalleled genius.

This was especially true given that these Divine Pills contained the Chaos Secret Pattern.

Their might was far greater than that of ordinary Divine Pills.

By the time Yang Xiao had finished all this,

a full three months had passed in the outside world. On the third level of the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion, that amounted to a total of two hundred and fifty years.

Yang Xiao had more or less cultivated all the different powers within his body into Divine Pills.

This included the three types of Yang Power promised by the Emperor's Weapon Spirit: Lesser Yang, True Yang, and Spiritual Yang.

He had even analyzed the Power of the Emperor to extract the Emperor Dao Secret Pattern, forming the final Emperor's Divine Pill.

These twelve Divine Pills,

since they were all condensed from the power of the Seventy-two Small Divine Techniques and integrated with the Chaos Secret Pattern, all resonated with one another.

Once the Emperor's Divine Pill was formed, it used this resonant power to create a more harmonious bond between all the powers in Yang Xiao's body and the Visible Flood Dragon formed by the Emperor Golden Dragon Secret Technique—that is, the power of his flesh and blood.

Yang Xiao believed

that after forming these twelve Unparalleled Divine Pills, if he were to once again use the Emperor Golden Dragon Secret Technique to gather all his power,

the resulting strength would be unimaginable.

Even Yang Xiao himself got a headache just trying to estimate it.

He had no idea what realm he could reach with the boost from these Divine Pills.

Could he break through to the level of a Tier Five Divine General in one fell swoop?

Yang Xiao didn't know.

He was even a little worried that if he fully merged them, the sheer power might cause even his Visible Flood Dragon to burst.

But then he recalled the mysterious patterns within his flesh and blood—patterns that even the will incarnation of the Yuan Yang Immortal Monarch, who had previously possessed the power of a Tier Seven Immortal Marquis, could not destroy.

No matter how strong his own power became, could it really surpass the will incarnation of the Yuan Yang Immortal Monarch, who was comparable to a Tier Seven Divine Marquis?

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao's worries subsided.

However, he didn't try it rashly.

Instead, his thoughts turned. 'Besides these twelve powers, the only two left in my body are the Greater Yang Secret Pattern and the Star Secret Pattern. I have to go to the Star God Academy to learn the Star Secret Pattern, but the Greater Yang Secret Pattern is within easy reach. It looks like my next stop should be the Lu Family Secret Realm.'

A thought crossed Yang Xiao's mind.

He was just about to inform the Lu Family that he intended to visit the Lu Family Secret Realm.

Although he had a Teleportation Token from the Rising Dragon Tower,

that item was a life-saving talisman to be used at a critical moment.

Yang Xiao naturally wouldn't waste it like this.

Having someone from the Lu Family lead the way was the more sensible option.

Just then,

his Fire God Clone sent him a message.

An old acquaintance had come to visit.

When Yang Xiao saw who it was, his heart stirred.

'This guy finally came to me for help. And from the looks of it, he's had some fortunate encounters of his own. Since I'm free, I might as well see him.'

With that thought, Yang Xiao left the Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion.
