Chapter 174: Collaborating with the Desolate Ancient Family to Plot the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid

God King Jiang Taixu has lived for over five thousand years; it could be said that he has seen everything in the world, but he truly is seeing someone like Zhang Xuan for the first time.

He specifically informed the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family of his entrapment in Purple Mountain, allowing the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family to rescue him from within.

Merely accomplishing this step could be said to be a life-saving grace for God King Jiang Taixu.

Afterwards, spending the essence of an Undying Divine Medicine, and even spending the remnant of a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to bring him back to life—this step truly saved God King Jiang Taixu a second time.

After all, the situation at the time was tense; opponents of God King Jiang Taixu from back then had already tracked the news and arrived. If it had been delayed any longer, God King Jiang Taixu might have been targeted by those old monsters before he had recovered, causing the God King to die an untimely death.

Zhang Xuan said he wanted to obtain the Battle Saint Method from Jiang Taixu; this point is understandable.

But the things given in return were perhaps too much; the remnant of a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, capable of extending one's life by a thousand years, is not at all inferior to the Soldier Secret.

After all, this is a top-tier divine object capable of allowing a figure who has already consumed an Undying Divine Medicine to extend their life by another thousand years.

Ancient Great Emperors would all pursue this kind of pill; after all, the Mythological Era was said to have had many Emperors existing simultaneously precisely because of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

Therefore, even God King Jiang Taixu, after Zhang Xuan clarified his own purpose, did not feel that this kind of exchange was unfair; the other party had indeed done an excellent job, leaving one speechless.

As it turned out, after he arrived by appointment, the other party actually wanted to discuss the Dao with him, and even brought out a Nine Secret that was not inferior to the Battle Saint Method to exchange with him.

Zhang Xuan saw the look of surprise on God King Jiang Taixu's face with his own eyes, so he naturally smiled and said: "I have a craving for many techniques, but I would never seize what others love. Moreover, I have always believed that many techniques can only progress through mutual exchange; hoarding them like a precious broom will only lead to the loss of many techniques..."

This simple and straightforward remark moved the God King directly; after all, Zhang Xuan was not just saying it simply, but had truly brought out a Nine Secret to discuss with the God King.

This was even when the God King himself had not yet brought out the Soldier Secret, yet Zhang Xuan had already placed another Nine Secret before the God King. This kind of character and boldness was something even God King Jiang Taixu found astonishing.

Coming from a Great Emperor family, he felt he was not as magnanimous as Zhang Xuan; it was truly magnanimous to a slightly excessive degree.

And these words of Zhang Xuan were indeed from the heart; after all, for Zhang Xuan, the more complete his techniques were, the more beneficial it was for him, as they could all be uploaded to the Chat Group to be kept as backups.

At the same time, the Nine Secrets in Zhang Xuan's hands were obtained relatively easily and were not too difficult; he knew the whereabouts of various secret methods of the Nine Secrets in Covering the Sky and could go search for them.

The current Speed Secret was obtained by Gai Jiuyou himself from Sheng Ya; Zhang Xuan only said one sentence from beginning to end.

And Zhang Xuan also knew the location of the Soldier Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, within a small sect that possessed a Ruthless Inheritor; it was just that Zhang Xuan did not want to go take it for the time being.

Zhang Xuan had a relatively relaxed mindset regarding the Nine Secrets, yet the God King felt an unprecedentedly grand boldness from within this.

Furthermore, Zhang Xuan took the initiative to place the Speed Secret before the God King first; this posture had absolutely no intention of demanding repayment for a favor, which made the God King feel a different kind of respect.

Therefore, the God King's posture became even more composed and calm, but in his heart, he elevated Zhang Xuan even further.

"It was I who had too many thoughts before, looking down on people."

Muttering to himself in his heart, the God King did not say more and stepped into the courtyard.

He struck a peculiar starting pose; it was both one and ten thousand. With just a single movement, a peerlessly domineering aura emerged, as if the heavens and earth were directly pierced through by this posture—the Battle Saint Method, known as the top-tier technique specifically for combat.

One of the Nine Secrets, the Battle Secret.

As the movement was struck, the God King naturally chanted the incantation, and that voice echoed in Zhang Xuan's ears.

Originally, Zhang Xuan did not have great desire or expectation for the Battle Secret, but at this very moment, he was attracted by the posture struck by God King Jiang Taixu, and he could not help but be drawn in.

Listening to the cultivation essentials and incantations of the Nine Secrets chanted by God King Jiang Taixu, and watching that peculiar posture, Zhang Xuan could not help but become engrossed.

Relying on his existing comprehension and disposition, it was already insufficient to participate in such a technique, but naturally, his thoughts fell upon the Nine-Aperture Stone Man in the Shenmu World. With the blessing of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man's peculiar thoughts, countless insights surged into his heart in an instant.

In this instant, Zhang Xuan could not help but strike the same pose as Jiang Taixu.

A similar passion to fight the heavens and struggle against the earth rose in his heart, as if he wanted to tear the entire firmament to shreds.

That domineering and peerless posture was not yet formed at the beginning, but after an extremely short time and duration, it soared into the sky, not inferior to God King Jiang Taixu.

Seeing such a posture, the God King could not help but be stunned.

"His talent and comprehension could actually reach this level; just by listening to my oral instruction, he could comprehend to this step in such a short time..."

The God King was exclaiming in his heart, feeling more and more that the background and origin of this young figure before him were extremely extraordinary.

But the movements of his hands did not slow down; the posture and movements of his body changed faster and faster. There were even layers upon layers of divine rings shrouding his whole body, and his entire being was glowing, with circle after circle of divine rings shining upon him.

It was brilliant and eye-catching, and what was even more terrifying was that powerful, peerlessly domineering temperament. In an instant, it seemed as if the myriad things of heaven and earth appeared on his body—knives, spears, swords, halberds, mountains, rivers, the earth, and even all objects formed; in his hands, they all seemed to have become weapons that could be used to attack.

The myriad things of heaven and earth could all have their essence intercepted in his hands, then transformed into supreme offensive techniques.

And on Zhang Xuan's side, his movements were no slower than Jiang Taixu's. At first, he would pause slightly for a moment, then the movements he performed became faster and faster, also coordinating with Jiang Taixu's Battle Secret mental method, mixing in relevant movements, and he mastered this technique in an extremely short time.

The Nine-Aperture Stone Man located in the Shenmu World had Hun-tun Qi faintly radiating from its whole body, and the posture it displayed became increasingly peculiar.

That Battle Secret seemed to be reflected in Zhang Xuan's heart, and at the same time, Zhang Xuan felt that another secret method he had already learned was also operating synchronously at this time, seemingly coordinating together to produce a peculiar state.

The Nine Secrets themselves have a peculiar connection with each other; now that the Battle Secret was mastered, the other Speed Secret also echoed in response, and the operation of the two became even more natural and appropriate.

"This kind of posture is indeed peculiar!"

Zhang Xuan whispered softly, feeling quite emotional, while Jiang Taixu was in a state of shock.

He had spent thousands of years deducing and practicing the Battle Secret, and he had handed it to the figure before him, who had learned it easily and very profoundly.

On this point, as someone who had gone very far in the Battle Secret, he had a great right to speak.

Feeling Zhang Xuan's posture and movements, he could not help but also be in a state of shock.

"You comprehended it so quickly?"

The God King was even a bit unconfident; after the practice was finished, he even took the initiative to ask Zhang Xuan about some cultivation bottlenecks and key points to judge whether Zhang Xuan had truly understood.

And Zhang Xuan answered fluently, without any abnormalities.

"Evolving mountains and rivers, taking the spirit of battle between heaven and earth, it is truly a top-tier technique..."

Zhang Xuan praised sincerely, while Jiang Taixu was sincerely shocked.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang Xuan's comprehension and talent on the path of cultivation are truly shocking."

Even the God King could not help but sigh with such emotion, feeling that Zhang Xuan's talent was terrifyingly peerless, making one feel uneasy.

Zhang Xuan smiled in response; in reality, he knew that he only had the talent of an ordinary person. The reason he could be so extraordinary was entirely due to his own acquired efforts and the "other-selves" enlightened by the Eight-Nine Profound Art.

Of course, there was no need to explain these things in detail to God King Jiang Taixu.

He was smiling, likewise imitating God King Jiang Taixu, performing the technique before Jiang Taixu. His whole person transformed into a golden light in the plaza of this inn, flickering left and right, flickering front and back.

The entire plaza was filled with Zhang Xuan's shadows, and the God King compared them to the ancient scroll he had taken from the ancient coffin on Sheng Ya, and then, comparing them to Zhang Xuan's movements, he also fell into a state of enlightenment.

He marveled at Zhang Xuan's talent and comprehension; in reality, his own talent and comprehension were also extremely high, and in a very short time, he fell into the realm of enlightenment.

The title of "Number One in Attack for Five Thousand Years" was not blown out of proportion, but rather carved out bit by bit by him; although he obtained the Dou-character Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, if his own talent and aptitude could not support it, it would only become a laughingstock.

That the God King could achieve the status of a Saint in this most difficult of eras shows his talent and aptitude are truly astonishing.

The reason for being amazed at Zhang Xuan's comprehension is, more so, because Zhang Xuan's comprehension is that of a natural-born Saint Spirit, and he also has an accelerator turned on.

The process of comprehending the Dao over millions of years is shortened to within twenty years, so within these twenty years, thinking through any problem or difficulty is basically a piece of cake.

In fact, Zhang Xuan was silently making comparisons in the dark, and he also marveled at the God King's comprehension.

"The comprehension is much better than my previous state; to have entered the gate in such a short time, and to have walked so far."

The Dao comprehension lasted for a full five days, mainly because the God King spent more time; as for Zhang Xuan, as long as he had the corresponding mental cultivation method and process, through the Nine-Orifice Stone Man, he could easily obtain the results and climb past quickly.

The God King was a bit slower, but equally astonishingly fast.

By the time the God King stopped from the state of Dao comprehension below, it was already five days later.

However, this does not mean that the God King has fully understood and mastered the Xing-character Secret, as it is the most supreme secret technique among the Forbidden Chapters of the Great Emperor.

In this period of time, the God King has at most comprehended the Xing-character Secret to a level similar to his own realm; he can continue to contemplate it later, as this is a peerless technique that can be practiced for a lifetime.

Zhang Xuan is the same.

When the two sat down at the stone table again, the feeling between the God King and Zhang Xuan was already very different; after experiencing such a round of Dao comprehension, although they had only met twice, they both had a sense of familiarity with each other.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang Xuan's talent and comprehension are truly astonishing, and your spirit is also admirable."

The God King praised him from the bottom of his heart.

It was truly magnanimous; he gave away the Nine Secrets casually, and took out the remnant of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill with ease.

He had never seen anyone so magnanimous.

Zhang Xuan remained humble: "For the rise of the Human Race, and to avoid the upcoming turmoil, these are all reasonable expenditures."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the God King's expression became serious; at the current stage, most people do not know that the Ancient Race is about to emerge.

But the God King stayed in Purple Mountain for four thousand years, knew quite a lot of secrets, and clearly knew that the Ancient Race would truly reappear in the human world before long.

At that time, the problems would be quite significant.

Now hearing Zhang Xuan take the initiative to mention it, his expression could not help but shift.

"Fellow Daoist also has knowledge of the situation within this?"

"What I know may be far more than you imagine."

Zhang Xuan smiled without saying more, did not talk deeply about this topic, and turned to talk about his own previous purpose.

"Among the younger generation, their strength and realm improvement are not high enough, nor fast enough; I hope this step can be accelerated."

"We have a formula in our hands derived from the disassembly of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, specifically for cultivation, known as the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid; I hope the God King and the Jiang Family behind you can collect the relevant materials with me to refine the Strongest Bloodline Optimization Fluid."

The God King's heart stirred; before he could speak, he saw a formula in Zhang Xuan's hand drift down in front of him.

"If five types of divine materials are gathered, it is useful even for Saints?"

Even the God King could not help but exclaim, and Zhang Xuan just smiled: "If enough sacred materials can be collected, it would not be too difficult to forcefully pile up a Saint King, or even a Great Saint, in a short period of time."

Of course, the premise is that there must be powerful figures at the Saint and Saint King realms on Beidou.

After all, for those who can cultivate to the Saint or Saint King realm in the current environment, as long as the relevant bloodline optimization fluid is supplemented, it will not be too difficult to go a step further on the existing foundation.

At the very least, Zhang Xuan could guarantee that if he could produce the five-turn bloodline optimization fluid, Jiang Taixu could charge to the Saint King realm in a short time.

And if he could produce the seven-turn or eight-turn bloodline optimization fluid, the Old Madman of the Tianxuan Holy Land would very likely go a step further in a short time.

After all, this person is suspected to be a Saint King at the current stage.

Given him a certain accumulation, reaching the Great Saint Realm would not be much of a problem.

Zhang Xuan spoke of the subsequent cultivation realms in an understated manner, making the God King Jiang Taixu's eyes flicker again.

From this, he directly determined that Zhang Xuan was definitely a powerful figure with an ancient heritage, and at the same time, Zhang Xuan clearly knew his current state.

After all, currently on Beidou, the strongest figures on the surface are the leaders of the various Holy Lands and aristocratic families, all known as Saint Master level, and they are all on the step of Immortal Second, with no one having severed the Dao.

Yet Zhang Xuan spoke of levels above the Saint realm right from the start.

Such a state made Jiang Taixu look sideways; after a moment of pause, he said: "Are you about to sever the Dao?"

"Still need a little bit of preparation, but it's not too far off."

Zhang Xuan responded earnestly, and discussed the threshold of severing the Dao together with the God King Jiang Taixu.

After all, the God King is a peerless figure of the Post-Desolate Ancient Era who walked to the Saint stage by his own ability; in terms of talent and aptitude, Jiang Taixu is definitely not inferior to any Prince or Emperor Son of the same era.

That he did not truly grow to the peak was entirely due to the Dark Turmoil; given enough time, Jiang Taixu would not dare say he would become a Great Emperor, but Alternative Enlightenment would not be a major problem for Jiang Taixu.

Discussing the threshold of severing the Dao with Jiang Taixu was also quite rewarding for Zhang Xuan, even though he already had the relevant answers in his heart.

And Jiang Taixu was also in deep amazement; if he called Zhang Xuan a fellow Daoist before, it was partly because Zhang Xuan was his savior, but now his calling him a fellow Daoist was truly appropriate.

He truly felt that Zhang Xuan had walked very far on the path of cultivating the Dao.
