Deep within the rear of Yunlan Mountain, peace returned at last. With all external affairs settled, Liu Xi sat quietly in meditation, sorting through the vast gains he had accumulated over the past months. After fully absorbing the Bodhisattva Heart and Zhu Kun’s Essence Blood, his cultivation had soared to the 3-Star Dou Saint realm.

For the moment, further advancement was nearly impossible. Once one stepped into the Dou Saint realm, each increase demanded resources as boundless as the ocean itself — a burden so immense that even the most brilliant geniuses might never surmount it.

In terms of Qi Methods, Liu Xi’s Nine Nether Flame Suppressing Technique had evolved to a miraculous state during his century-long reincarnation illusion, especially after gaining enlightenment beneath the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. His aptitude had ascended to an extraordinary level.

"All flames beneath heaven... shall bend to my will."

He chuckled lightly to himself. "Perhaps it’s time for a new name — Divine Flame Controlling Technique sounds more fitting."

Aside from the Void Devouring Flame and Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Liu Xi could now subdue nearly any Heavenly Flame through sheer mastery of his Qi Method. Even refining them into his own power was no longer impossible. Flame, after all, no matter its color, form, or temperament, was still fire at its core — different paths leading to the same essence.

This technique resembled the Flame Mantra, yet in some ways, it surpassed it. So long as one possessed sufficient talent and perseverance, one could refine countless beast flames, achieving a might that rivaled true Heavenly Flames. Each practitioner could cultivate a unique flame suited to their nature, making it a technique worthy of a clan’s legacy.

In terms of Spiritual cultivation, Liu Xi’s Soul Control Technique had fully absorbed the essence of the Soul Dominion. Its greatest strength lay in granting him free control over all spiritual entities — souls, Heavenly Flames, or other sentient essences. It was a path that paralleled Dou Qi itself.

If Liu Xi had chosen ruthlessness and walked the dark path of slaughter — harvesting souls to control them — he might have far surpassed even the Hun Clan. But he had no desire to become such a monster. Instead, he chose to anchor his Soul Essence within the origin of his Heavenly Flames, attaining a pure and radiant Flame Spirit Form — the truest expression of his divine consciousness.

This was the righteous path, and the most stable one. For that reason, he sealed this method within himself, never to be passed down. In the hands of a cruel soul, it would bring endless calamity upon the world.

That was the foundation of Liu Xi’s power.

As for Dou Techniques, Liu Xi had long since outgrown common ones. To a Dou Saint, an idle punch carried power surpassing most Di Class Techniques. Still, there was one Technique he found worth cultivating — the King Kong Glass Body.

His physical form had already been strengthened to a terrifying level through countless flame baptisms — especially the Three Thousand Burning Flame — and the bloodline essence of the Ancient Void Dragon Emperors. When he struck his chest with a dull bang bang bang!, the sound alone resembled that of tempered steel. Against beasts of the same rank, he could fight evenly in pure physical strength — no exaggeration at all.

Now, within a quiet meditation chamber filled with faint sandalwood fragrance, Liu Xi sat cross-legged atop a stone platform. In his hand rested a scroll of dark golden hue. Along its side were carved ancient, powerful words — King Kong Glass Body.

Exhaling softly, Liu Xi pressed the scroll to his forehead. The moment it touched his brow, the scroll erupted in dazzling gold, and an immense torrent of information flooded into his mind like a roaring tide.

"King Kong Glass Body — a Low Tian Class Dou Technique. The body becomes glasslike and indestructible, unbreakable by any weapon, unstoppable by any force. When perfected, one manifests a nine-zhang-tall King Kong Glass Form — golden brilliance that splits heaven and earth, a punch that can shatter the sky, a kick that can crush the ground."

As golden words reverberated through his consciousness, Liu Xi marveled at the overbearing aura they carried. It was a technique meant to turn Dou Qi itself into physical armor.

Previously, his body’s resilience came from external refinement — rare treasures or Ancient Void Dragon blood. Now, this technique would make those strengths his own foundation, reinforcing them from within.

After studying the cultivation method thoroughly, Liu Xi couldn’t help but admire its creator. To reach the Dou Saint level, one had to be a true genius. Just as he could forge new techniques, others of his caliber could as well — and this one was extraordinary indeed.

To cultivate the King Kong Glass Body, one had to merge Dou Qi into the bones, blood, and flesh through a unique pattern — a process brutally demanding on the body. Fortunately, Liu Xi’s physique, tempered by Heavenly Flames and dragon blood, was more than strong enough to meet its requirements.

"Heh... let’s begin."

A soft laugh escaped him as he closed his eyes. Following the scroll’s guidance, Dou Qi began to circulate through his meridians, surging like molten metal.

Crack... crack!

Golden light burst from his body. In moments, Liu Xi’s form expanded, muscles swelling with a metallic gleam. The sound of bones twisting echoed through the chamber as his height tripled. His once fair skin shimmered faintly with a dark golden hue.

But the transformation halted abruptly. The golden light dimmed, and his body quickly contracted back to normal size.

Cough! Cough!

He opened his eyes suddenly, clutching his chest as a fit of harsh coughing wracked his body. Agonizing pain tore through every muscle and bone. Yet, as the spasms subsided, his lips curved into a faint smile.

"So much pain... good."

He wiped the blood from his mouth. "If strength came easily, it wouldn’t be real."

He laughed quietly to himself, eyes gleaming with defiance. "Only through pain does one grasp true power."

With that, he closed his eyes once more. Golden light flared again, brighter than before. His body swelled and shrank in relentless cycles — each time accompanied by the echo of cracking bones and tearing flesh.

In truth, the greatest difficulties of this Technique lie in two things: maintaining Dou Qi flow and enduring physical pain. Neither posed a problem for Liu Xi. All he needed now was time.

With every rip and reconstruction of his body, his adaptation deepened. The pain became bearable, even familiar.

Three months passed in this state of torment and growth.

Then —

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the Yunlan Mountain. The ground split open as dazzling golden light erupted from within, flooding the sky like a sunrise of molten glass. The earth trembled, and the mountain cracked as if something titanic was about to burst free from its depths.

The heavens themselves gleamed gold.
