Suddenly, the air froze.

Time seemed to stop.

Amidst the swirling air currents, a white lotus suddenly appeared before Xia Liu.

In just a fleeting moment, the white lotus vanished, transforming into a white mist that enveloped Xia Liu.

Qingqing and Li Yun instantly felt the air change from murky to pure freshness.

Just a light inhale made their internal organs, even their brains, feel incredibly light and agile.

"This is Holy Energy!"

Li Yun once witnessed Holy Energy during a Daoist debate on the Central Continent!

That was a hundred years ago when she had first entered the Nascent Soul stage, signing a life-and-death contract with her early-stage cultivation.

Eventually defeating a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

That battle caught the attention of the Cultivation Alliance’s branch president.

Afterwards, she was introduced into the Cultivation Alliance, and subsequently, powerful cultivators from four realms gathered on the Central Continent for the debate.

Li Yun had the chance to attend.

She witnessed the Prajna Holy Energy of the Southern Realm’s Great Brahma Gate Master.

That Holy Energy was unique between heaven and earth.

In the face of righteousness, Holy Energy could transform into a purifying force, removing filth.

In the face of darkness, Holy Energy could become a world-cleansing power, vanquishing monsters and demons.

Holy Energy is an indispensable supremely pure sacred force in the Cultivation Realm!

Li Yun stared at Xia Liu as if mad.

She couldn’t believe it.

Being mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator so what.

Living for hundreds of years so what.

The excitement at this moment was the greatest of her life!

"Senior, what quality does this Holy Energy of mine possess, can it compare to the Prajna Holy Energy of the Great Brahma Gate?"

Xia Liu’s lips slightly curved; he knew the answer all along.

It was just to make Li Yun more certain of himself that he asked.

"Young friend! Yours is far beyond Prajna Holy Energy, I have witnessed Prajna Holy Energy before, and that power is neither as pure nor as thick, and also deeply mysterious as yours!"

Li Yun immediately perceived that this Holy Energy was far above Prajna Holy Energy.

Combined with the Holy Energy that had just transformed into a white lotus before Xia Liu.

Her fear that his Holy Energy was the legendary White Lotus Holy Aura!

"If my guess is correct, your Holy Energy is gradually transforming into White Lotus Holy Aura, but it hasn’t fully formed yet, it’s the embryonic White Lotus Holy Aura!"

"Grandma, how do you know this is White Lotus Holy Aura?"

Qingqing asked in confusion.

"Legend has it that when the White Lotus Holy Aura unfolds, all things revive, myriad ghosts retreat, demons and devils touching it are destroyed, young friend Xia’s Holy Energy contains a strong aura of vitality, before deploying the Holy Energy, a phantom of the white lotus appeared."

"Young friend Xia, you tell Qingqing, I’ll organize my thoughts."

Li Yun was almost shocked out of a heart attack by Xia Liu.

How can there be such a monster in the world?

It’s simply terrifying.

"Ahem ahem, actually, I am not entirely sure if this is White Lotus Holy Aura either, but my Honored Master said that if I pass through the Creation Gate, perhaps I can confirm it."

"The Creation Gate of the Great Brahma Gate, young friend you are the Young Sect Master of the Southern Realm’s Great Brahma Gate?"

A bold idea suddenly appeared in Li Yun’s mind.

At the Great Brahma Gate, as long as you cultivate Prajna Holy Energy, you become the pending successor to the next Sect Master.

Xia Liu’s Holy Energy has exceeded Prajna Holy Energy, and he speaks directly of the Creation Gate.

It must be related to the Great Brahma Gate.

Tsk tsk!

Being acquainted with the Young Sect Master of the Great Brahma Gate is simply a great opportunity for Li Yun.

"No, I have never been to the Southern Realm, but I may visit in the future."

"Ah? Brother Xia has never been to the Southern Realm, how did he cultivate White Lotus Holy Aura?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Qingqing! Do not ask many questions!"

Li Yun hurriedly intervened.

No matter if Xia Liu is the Young Sect Master of the Great Brahma Gate.

He has a close relationship with the Great Brahma Gate.

Some secrets are not suitable to reveal in front of others.

So she understood Xia Liu’s intention.

"Oh, oh, so now that all the required power is gathered, can we refine the Extreme Cold Flame?"

Qingqing quickly shifted the topic to the Extreme Cold Flame.

If it goes on, she would be super embarrassed.

"Yes, we can!"

"I invite Senior for guidance."

Xia Liu humbly asked.

"I will teach you the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Formation, then use Holy Energy to suppress the Dual Polar Force..."

As a Spirit Formation Grandmaster, Li Yun is proficient in various Spirit Formations.

This third method of refining the Extreme Cold Flame is her own speculation.

Spent almost fifty years on it.

Holy Energy is a supremely pure sacred force of heaven and earth, with power to intimidate all things and dominate the Myriad Realms.

Used to suppress the Dual Polar Force of Extreme Cold Flame, then lock it with the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Formation.

Like imprisoning a fierce beast in a cage, slowly cut its flesh, one day the beast will weaken, it will perish.

"The Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Formation requires a Spirit Formation Master level to deploy, young friend Xia, you..."

Li Yun realized she had overlooked a problem, which is Xia Liu’s Spirit Formation level.

In case he hasn’t studied Spirit Formations, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort.

"No problem, I too am curious to know what tier of Formation Master I currently am."

After speaking, Xia Liu deployed spells, countless array seals shot from his body.

"Indeed!"

"A monster!"

Li Yun and Qingqing looked at each other, once again shocked.

Xia Liu is simply a monster among monsters.

Soon, a thousand array seals appeared in the void.

"A thousand array seals, reaching Spirit Formation Master level, can set up the formation!"

Li Yun barely reminded, and Xia Liu stuck the Flowing Fire Sword into the ground, and the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Formation instantly set up.

After completing the sealing formation, further suppressed with White Lotus Holy Aura, thus the Flowing Fire Sword and Extreme Cold Flame were completely locked in the formation.

"Haha! It succeeded after all!"

"Senior, let’s start extracting and refining the Extreme Cold Flame!"

"Okay!"

"I’ll guard outside..."

...

While Xia Liu and Li Yun were refining the Extreme Cold Flame.

In the Baichuan Realm.

A mysterious black tower stood among the desolate mountains.

Boom boom boom!!!

A sudden earthquake made the entire mountain range enter a chaotic scene.

Birds and beasts fled, demon beasts trembled on the ground unable to move.

Accidental mundane cultivators in the mountains lay on the ground, their expressions grim, like before death.

After a moment of chaos and turmoil.

A black beam soared from the distant tower.

Scattering auspicious clouds, above the Nine Heavens!

And at the top of the tower.

The Divine Mechanist in a black robe muttered, the black beam rising from the tower top was emitted from her magic wand.

Combining with the tower’s power, accomplishing such a spectacular act.

Soon, the Divine Mechanist withdrew her energy, panting heavily, said, "Found it!"

"Oh! Please speak directly, Divine Mechanist!"

Sha Tongtian immediately stepped forward, clenching his fist, wishing to tear Xia Liu apart!

"Dongliu County, Imperial Sky Gate..."

"Tsk tsk! A county named is only a tier three or four county capital, thus, Imperial Sky Gate declares massacre will initiate!"

A strong murderous intent surged on Sha Tongtian.

The Divine Mechanist could not pinpoint Xia Liu’s location, but could perceive Xia Liu’s past through mediums.

Because Xia Liu has a close relationship with Imperial Sky Gate, she drew that conclusion.

As for what Sha Tongtian will do next, everyone present speculates some, massacre the sect, leave not a blade of grass!
