Chapter 1994: Chapter 1999: Truly Frightening!

Li Yun felt deeply ashamed.

The idea had been his.

And in the end, the one who failed the worst was also him.

"Grandma, I saw everything just now. Was he cheating in there, deliberately not giving you the Extreme Cold Flame’s Essence!"

Suddenly, Qingqing rushed in from outside the Cave.

She glared fiercely at Xia Liu.

"Ahem, Qingqing, don’t misunderstand. With my Foundation Establishment Cultivation, could I possibly play tricks before a senior?"

Xia Liu hurriedly explained.

If Li Yun, in his frustration, suddenly made a move against him...

His life might be safe, but the Extreme Cold Flame would probably be gone.

"Qingqing, you mustn’t talk nonsense!"

What let Xia Liu breathe easier was that Li Yun wasn’t that stupid.

"Grandma! Look at him—why is it that he’s only at Foundation Establishment and is fine, while you..."

Qingqing was holding back tears, and couldn’t finish the rest.

It was too hurtful to one’s pride.

The gap between Grandma and Xia Liu’s Cultivation was so huge.

Yet she still ended up worse off than Xia Liu.

"Qingqing! You don’t understand! The purity of Young Friend Xia’s Origin, even this old woman cannot compare to it."

Li Yun couldn’t bring himself to be angry at Qingqing.

All the more since the one she had offended was only a Foundation Establishment Xia Liu.

With a bit of explanation, Xia Liu would understand.

"Senior, you’re being modest. I’m the one who can’t compare to you. The only reason I came out unscathed was because Senior blocked most of the force."

"Grandma, is that really true?"

Hehe...

Li Yun didn’t answer Qingqing’s question.

Because only she herself knew that at the final moment before failure, when the Dual Polar Force slammed into her—

It was Xia Liu who blocked most of the force.

Otherwise it would never have ended with just spitting out one mouthful of blood.

She would probably have vomited Essence Blood and damaged her foundation.

Facing Grandma’s kind smile, Qingqing didn’t say anything more. Her cheeks puffed up, looking very embarrassed.

"There’s nothing more we can do, Young Friend Xia. Perhaps this Extreme Cold Flame is simply not my destined chance."

After a brief silence, Li Yun said with helplessness.

"Senior, weren’t there three methods? What about the third one? We haven’t tried it yet, how can we give up?"

Xia Liu was getting anxious. If he couldn’t refine the Extreme Cold Flame, in at most a month he would have to release it.

Otherwise the Flowing Fire Sword would definitely shatter.

The consequences were too severe. He had to find a way to refine the Extreme Cold Flame within this month.

Even if he couldn’t refine it all, refining half of the Dual Polar Force would be fine.

"That’s right, Grandma, isn’t there still a third method?"

Because she had wrongly suspected Xia Liu earlier, Qingqing decided to make amends a little.

At the very least, she wanted Grandma to tell Xia Liu the third method.

"The third method is too difficult. I roamed the Northern Realm for decades and still couldn’t gather what it needs."

"Senior, please don’t hesitate to enlighten me."

Xia Liu cupped his fists sincerely.

"You really want to know?"

"Yes!"

"In that case, I’ll let you give up on this idea completely, so you won’t have regrets on the path of Cultivation in the future."

Li Yun sat down on a stone chair and began to explain the third method she knew.

"This third method requires the Five Elements Origin Force at the stage of Primordial Chaos, and it must be matched with Holy Energy!"

Hm?

Hearing this, Xia Liu’s heartbeat suddenly sped up.

It sounded like he actually met those requirements!

"Senior, the Primordial Chaos Five Elements Origin you speak of, is that Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth?"

"Yes. Wanting to gather Cultivators who possess these Origins is difficult. In the entire Northern Realm, you are the first person I’ve seen who possesses dual Origins, and you even have the exceedingly rare Wood Origin."

Li Yun continued, "Wood Origin doesn’t appear even once in a thousand ages. Next are Earth Origin and Golden Origin. Water and Fire Origin are more common. Even counting you, we’d still need to find a Cultivator with Golden Origin. Far too hard..."

After roaming the Northern Realm, Li Yun had never seen anyone with Golden Origin.

That was already an extremely difficult threshold, not to mention the Holy Energy...

"Senior, I..."

"Young Friend, even if we could gather Cultivators who possess the Five Elements Origin, where would we obtain Holy Energy?"

"Grandma, didn’t you say there’s a Sect in the Southern Realm, one of the top Righteous Path Sects in the Cultivation Realm, that specializes in Cultivating Holy Energy?"

Qingqing chimed in.

"Yes, the Great Brahma Gate specializes in Holy Energy, but ordinary Holy Energy is useless. Only the purest Prajna Holy Energy, or the even higher-level Eternal White Lotus Holy Energy, can work with the Five Elements Formation to refine the Extreme Cold Flame."

"In the Great Brahma Gate, whoever Cultivates Prajna Holy Energy can receive the most generous treatment. In the future, if no other Disciple of the same realm Cultivates Prajna Holy Energy, that person can inherit the position of Sect Master."

Sigh...

Li Yun let out a sigh. "Possessing Prajna Holy Energy is equivalent to being the Young Sect Master of the Great Brahma Gate, one of the top Sects in the Cultivation Realm. How could a Young Sect Master possibly bother with our affairs?"

"Ahem."

Listening to Li Yun talk for so long, Xia Liu hadn’t had a chance to speak.

At his two dry coughs, both Qingqing and Li Yun focused their gazes on him.

"Brother Xia, don’t be too anxious. There will definitely be another way." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Qingqing comforted him.

"Mm, I understand. But I’d like Senior to take a look at a few things."

"Oh? Young Friend Xia needs this old body to appraise or explain something?"

"I’d like Senior to see whether this is the Primordial Chaos Five Elements Origin or not..."

Szz szz szz!!!

As Xia Liu’s words fell, strange sounds echoed in the Void.

Then five rays of light surged out from Xia Liu’s body.

Gold, blue, green, red, and earthy yellow!

They represented the Origin Power of the Five Elements: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth!

"This is—!"

At first sight of the Power of the Five Elements, Li Yun and Qingqing’s jaws almost dropped to the floor.

"Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth! The Five great Origin Powers!"

Even with the experience of a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Peak Cultivator like Li Yun—

Her Heart and Soul couldn’t help but be shaken at the sight of the Five Elements Origin.

All the more since these five Origins actually came from the same person!

This was even more shocking than seeing a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator.

"Big Brother! How did you even do this?"

Qingqing’s voice trembled as she asked.

"I, Xia, was lucky enough to possess the Five Elements Origin. If it’s truly as Senior said, then the Power of the Five Elements is already complete!"

"Terrifying, truly terrifying!"

Qingqing was taking deep breaths.

This was the first time she had ever seen a monster who had the Five Elements Origin in one body.

"Young Friend Xia, you are absolutely the most... no! You are absolutely the number one monster of all ages I have ever seen! You actually possess five Origins!"

Hearing Xia Liu admit it, Li Yun couldn’t calm down at all.

She even had the thought of taking Xia Liu as a Disciple.

But then she considered that someone with such talent, plus his mysterious Energy Body—how could he not have a High-Strength Honored Master behind him?

"Hehe, Senior, in that case the only thing missing now is Holy Energy. I..."

"Ahem, Young Friend, since you’ve shown such an astonishing power, even if this old body has to risk exhausting all of my strength, I will go to the Great Brahma Gate in the Southern Realm and beg the Young Sect Master or Sect Master to help!"

Though she wasn’t sure she could succeed, Li Yun would no longer easily give up.

Because this not only concerned herself, it also concerned Xia Liu.

If she could build good relations with him, it might not show much now, but once he grew up, if he still remembered her, then the Ultimate Heart Sect would have a Super Expert as a backer!

"Senior, what I wanted to say is—what grade is my Holy Energy?"
