Chapter 968

Mao Xuan hurriedly shook his head, wagging it like a rattle drum.

He would absolutely never admit that such unspeakable, terrible thoughts had arisen in his heart!

Then, he clenched his teeth, suddenly lifted his head, and looked at Jiang Yan once more.

"Alright, alright, all these are matters for the future; for now, let this Cat Lord properly teach you a lesson."

Mao Xuan jumped back onto the stone table.

He first coughed a few times, then straightened his expression and slowly said:

"Listen well; the advanced physique you currently possess is named: the Imperial Flame Saint Body!"

"This physique is one of the supreme physiques; cultivated to great completion, its mighty power is in no way inferior to those Saint Bodies, Dao Bodies, or Supreme Sword Bodies!"

"Those who bear this physique comprehend the Great Dao of Fire with extreme speed, truly progressing a thousand li in a single day; furthermore, they possess immense affinity with all fires under heaven and can even suppress them; to call them the Emperor of Ten Thousand Fires would not be an exaggeration!"

"And now, you, having obtained the Imperial Flame Saint Body, have qualified to step onto the path of invincibility; your future achievements will no longer be limited to the Saint Realm!"

"Once, there was an ancient Great Emperor named Chi Yang who utilized this Imperial Flame Saint Body to prove his Dao, achieved the status of Great Emperor, and became invincible in the world!"

"Strange, how do I know all this?"

Mao Xuan felt extremely puzzled.

But he quickly drove this sense of discomfort out of his mind.

Then, looking at Jiang Yan, he slowly said, "The Imperial Flame Saint Body possesses various divine abilities that can multiply your combat power; if this were in the past, your chances of catching up to that clan brother of yours would have been exceedingly slim, but now, there is some hope!"

"This Cat Lord also has a cultivation method here named the Chi Yang Scripture; it was created by Great Emperor Chi Yang based on the various advantages of the Imperial Flame Saint Body and is the cultivation technique most compatible with your physique; once cultivated, barring accidents, it can guarantee your cultivation all the way to the Quasi-Emperor Realm; to advance to the Great Emperor Realm, you will still need a bit of opportunity..."

Having finished speaking, Mao Xuan immediately spat out paper and a brush from his mouth and began writing upon them.

Soon, on the pristine, flawless paper, rows upon rows of tiny characters appeared, resembling tadpoles.

This was the cultivation method of the Chi Yang Scripture!

"Here, you lucky brat; in the past, this Cat Lord couldn't recall these things, but for some reason, my memory today is surprisingly good..."

Mao Xuan secretly marveled at this.

Jiang Yan, meanwhile, took the cultivation method from the other's hand and began studying it carefully.

Gazing at the various profound mysteries of the Chi Yang Scripture, Jiang Yan's expression gradually became excited.

This was unmistakably a powerful, top-grade Imperial-level cultivation method!

Only those bearing the Imperial Flame Saint Body could cultivate it.

And once this technique was cultivated, one would not only master various killing moves unique to the Imperial Flame Body but also accelerate cultivation speed.

It could even transform part of one's spiritual energy into Primordial Fire Essence Qi to strengthen oneself, fortify the physical body, eliminate impurities from one's yuan force, and make it increasingly pure!

Besides these, Jiang Yan also discovered something astonishing.

By utilizing the Imperial Flame Saint Body together with the Chi Yang Scripture, one could perfectly master the fusion of the strange fires within one's body!

Furthermore, one could use this Primordial Fire Essence Qi to nourish the strange fires, causing them to continuously grow stronger and their power to multiply!

This undoubtedly meant that he finally no longer needed to worry about any risks and could use the Lotus of Destruction at will!

Originally, activating this secret technique carried the risk of causing the strange fires to go berserk, so it could only be used as a trump card.

But now, it could be used by him as a normal offensive secret art.

There was no risk whatsoever; the only thing needing concern was consumption.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with excitement!

"Only now do I truly possess a shred of power..."

Scenes of once hovering between life and death, feeling utterly powerless, floated successively through his mind.

That feeling, he truly detested to the extreme!

Just as Jiang Yan was still immersed in his excitement,

Mao Xuan on the stone table suddenly blinked and casually said, "If this Cat Lord's eyes haven't failed me, that large ruler behind you should be an embryo of an Imperial weapon, correct?"

Jiang Yan nodded: "Indeed, Senior truly has sharp eyes."

Having said this, he took out the Imperial Ruler, placed it on the stone table, and allowed the other to examine it.

Mao Xuan first glanced at it a few times.

Then he opened his small mouth and spat out a piece of green ore.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Yan couldn't help but stare in blank surprise: "What is this?"

Mao Xuan, holding the stone in his mouth, handed it over to the other's hand: "Xuanjing Stone."

"Back then, that old fellow's pill refining skills were remarkable; he had made friends with many people; this piece of Xuanjing Stone was gifted to him by a Saint of Artifacts."

"As for the function of this object, that requires a detailed explanation."

"One only needs to smelt the Xuanjing Stone together with a magic treasure to increase the magic treasure's power; although the grade of the ruler in your hand is high, it is ultimately just a magic treasure embryo; speaking purely of power, it is even inferior to some Saint weapons, making it utterly useless."

"But if this object is smelted into it, hehe, although it won't be enough to raise the ruler's power to the level of an Imperial weapon, reaching the level of a Saint weapon will not be difficult..."
