Chapter 261 Obtaining an Opportunity

Facing the fierce gaze cast by Ouyang Yuanxia, Ming Zhitian obediently submitted: "If, one day, I, Ming Zhitian, am capable of entering the Forgotten Kingdom, I will do my utmost to rescue Ouyang Nifeng. Otherwise, may I be struck by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and my soul annihilated in the nine heavens!"

Ouyang Yuanxia nodded in satisfaction. Ming Zhitian looked at his half-soul and said, "Could you tell me how you fell into this state, Senior?"

Ouyang Yuanxia nodded. "I, this venerable one, perished here a thousand years ago during the battle to deify with the Cultivation Divine Emperor Gu Luoqi at the Divine Emperor's Sacred Land Sect.

He wielded the 'Shu Jian Lu' (Book of Swords Record), controlling its one hundred and three swords, invincible and peerless. This venerable one was no match, losing both my magic treasures and my life."

Ming Zhitian asked, "Don't you hate him? That Cultivation Divine Emperor Gu Luoqi."

Ouyang Yuanxia shook his head. "No hate. I, this venerable one, provoked him. Where would hate come from? There are two most beautiful things in this world: women and the 'Shu Jian Lu'. I had women, but I lacked the 'Shu Jian Lu'. Alas... it's all fleeting. If I had seen this sooner, I wouldn't have let Fairy Zhiling perish with me..."

"Regret is part of life. What matters is the process of enduring together. The only regret left is Feng'er. Ming Zhitian, you must bring her home. I implore you."

Ming Zhitian cupped his hands in salute. "I will not fail your trust."

Ouyang Yuanxia said, "Come closer."

Ming Zhitian did not hesitate. Suddenly, he flew into the air, inverting himself!

Ouyang Yuanxia drew circles on him, and Ming Zhitian involuntarily spun with him.

After a few moments, a golden light flashed! Behind Ouyang Yuanxia, a complete, albeit somewhat ethereal, form of a Demon God Emperor appeared, all of it being absorbed into Ming Zhitian's body.

Following this, divine light particles continuously swirled around Ming Zhitian. He returned to an upright position from his inverted stance and then sat cross-legged in the air, receiving the baptism of divine light!

He discovered that his entire body was radiant, his internal meridians and bones fully infused with abundant spiritual energy, bringing him comfort. His flesh slowly ascended to a higher level, which aided him in cultivating the 'Chang Sheng Jue' (Longevity Art). Without a second thought, he began to cultivate.

Ouyang Yuanxia hesitated for only a moment, "Hmm?!" Then he continued his spellcasting and shouted, "Open!"

A yellow-golden azure dragon tore itself from Ouyang Yuanxia's soul rift! It soared directly towards Ming Zhitian's head, diving down and entering his heavenly spirit gate!

Ming Zhitian's eyes blazed with a golden light, as if ignited by a strange flame. He let out a pained roar: "Ahhhhhh!!!..."

Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, Eighth Layer... Ascending Dragon First Layer, Second Layer, Third Layer... Alchemy Realm First Layer—Ninth Layer...

The realms continued to skyrocket!

It directly broke through to Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer before leisurely stopping. Meanwhile, the Chang Sheng Jue, in its spiritual energy resurgence phase, reached the eighteenth level concurrently with the realm breakthrough.

A peculiar cultivation technique flashed through Ming Zhitian's mind: "Hmm? What is this?"

Xing Long Yao Hua Ji Jue (Star Dragon Jade Flower Halberd Art)

Ouyang Yuanxia said, "This is my renowned ultimate skill, the Xing Long Yao Hua Ji Jue. This technique is unpredictable and by no means inferior to the Imperial Weapon Art created by your master. To this day, I, this venerable one, have only trained the Xing Long Yao Hua Ji Jue to the one hundred and eightieth level. You are still young, child. You can inherit it, and in time, you will surely surpass this venerable one and create glory."

Ming Zhitian thought to himself, "One hundred and eightieth level? My Imperial Weapon Art is only at a few levels, and I can barely keep up with it. Where would I find the time to practice the Xing Long Yao Hua Ji Jue?"

Next, Ouyang Yuanxia summoned a guardian bird, a black and white swan, half black and half white. He then placed a beast-taming imprint on Ming Zhitian's forehead.

Looking at the large black and white swan, Ming Zhitian mused, "What kind of enormous pot would be needed to make 'Iron Pot Stewed Swan'? How big would it have to be? It's too difficult."

The black and white swan seemed to read his thoughts and immediately became angry: "Goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo goo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
