Chapter 138

"Young Master!"

Several butterfly spirits gathered around him, warmly and affectionately.

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Taixuan, saw him nod, then smiled and joined the two clans of spirits in play.

"Enlightenment."

Zhang Taixuan withdrew his gaze and turned toward Bai He.

Bai He possessed sentience, though not high; seeing butterflies and bees take human form, its gaze instantly grew eager.

As the divine ability activated, Bai He immediately felt its mind grow sharper, as if a rusty machine had been oiled—its speed changed instantly.

"Master, why haven't I turned human?"

After waiting a while, Bai He asked sadly.

"Not yet. Wait until I acquire a new mount, then I'll give you human form," Zhang Taixuan smiled. "For now, carry me on a flight through the Celestial Realm."

"Yes, Master." Bai He lowered its body, and Zhang Taixuan gently landed on its back.

The next moment, Bai He soared into the sky.

"No wonder immortals need mounts—riding one truly has grandeur." After circling once and satisfying his curiosity, Zhang Taixuan halted and let Bai He roam freely.

He arrived at the quiet chamber.

Zhang Taixuan took out the Qiankun Cauldron and began to gaze intently at the great cauldron.

"Legends say each divine metal has a unique trait—what is the trait of Yuhua Qingjin?"

Forging an Emperor Weapon is never a task accomplished in one step.

After forging, it must be constantly polished and its traits understood.

Only by understanding its traits can one wield the Emperor Weapon to perfection, with divine mastery—not merely as a blunt hammer to smash with.

For example, Huang Chi Xue Jin possesses rebirth power and flame power.

If forged into an Emperor Weapon, one can cultivate healing divine abilities and flame abilities, achieving an effect greater than the sum of its parts—weapon and cultivator united.

Of course, such effects may be useless to an Emperor.

Because Emperors dominate their age, never meeting each other, no matter how much they improve, they remain Emperors.

But for Zhang Taixuan, it is different.

Roaming through countless worlds, he will not let any slight improvement slip away.

With magic power activated, the entire Qiankun Cauldron seemed to awaken; its feather patterns glowed like circuits.

Zhang Taixuan studied closely, and countless insights surged in his mind.

【You have comprehended Yuhua Qingjin; you understand its principles.】

【Based on its principles, you have created the divine ability Yuhua Feixian Technique.】

Yuhua Feixian Technique: Combat divine ability. When activated, wings flutter through empty space like a soul ascending to immortality, temporarily increasing combat power tenfold... When used with a divine weapon forged from Yuhua Qingjin, it achieves perfect unity between wielder and weapon, indistinguishable as one.

As the divine ability was created, Zhang Taixuan's thought shifted, and he began cultivating it immediately.

Instantly, patches of Bai Guang lit up around him, interwoven like wings, shielding him.

The magic power within his body surged like a tide, carrying an extremely sharp aura.

His entire aura rose sharply to its peak, as if a battle immortal had descended to the mortal realm.

Even more joyous was that the Qiankun Cauldron, beside him, erupted with powerful energy before he even activated it—its immortal light dimmed, awakening spontaneously.

"What a marvelous technique—this divine metal truly has extraordinary qualities."

Though Jiutian Zun created the Nine Secrets.

The Jie Character could also boost a cultivator's combat power tenfold.

But it was too mysterious, requiring luck and hard to trigger.

The Yuhua Feixian Technique requires no fate—only magic power.

Moreover, this divine ability can also awaken the Emperor Weapon.

This is undoubtedly a supreme marvelous technique.

"I must prioritize collecting divine metals from now on."

With a thought, the divine ability receded; all anomalies vanished, and the Qiankun Cauldron returned to its original form, stored within his Immortal Platform to be nurtured.

He took out the Taiyin True Scripture and began to study it.

Though the Taixuan Scripture was already an Immortal King-level text, it had not reached its peak—a partial human 4.8 Mother Scripture might help the Taixuan Scripture avoid many detours and grow stronger.

【You have comprehended the human Mother Scripture Taiyin True Scripture; you have understood the principle of Ultimate Yin without limit.】

【You have comprehended the human Mother Scripture Taiyin True Scripture; you have understood the principle of condensing Ultimate Power.】

【You have comprehended the Taiyin True Scripture; you have understood the Taiyin Truth: all yin energy is under my control.】

【You have comprehended the Taiyin True Scripture; you have understood the principle of Yin-Yang without limit; you have created the divine ability Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram.】

Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram: A Taiji forged from ultimate yin and yang energy, capable of dissolving all forces and unleashing an ultimate strike. (Can be forged into the ultimate treasure Taiji Diagram based on its principles.)

【You have comprehended the principles of Yin and Yang, supplemented martial arts, and created a fifth realm on the Immortal Martial fourth realm—the Yin-Yang Realm—forging the Immortal Body with ultimate yin and yang energy, officially entering Gao Wu stage.】
