Xiang Shaoyun was back at Long Hui's estate. When he arrived, he saw someone kneeling listlessly in the courtyard. Who else could this person be if not Zhuo Yi? After his arm was snapped off by Xiang Shaoyun, he had come back and complained to his master. He had hoped that his master would punish Xiang Shaoyun. That was when tragedy befell him.
Not only was he given a tongue-lashing, he was even punished and made to kneel in the courtyard. He had to wait until Xiang Shaoyun returned and decided what to do with him.
Zhuo Yi felt terrible being treated like that. Inwardly, he kept complaining, Am I your disciple or is he your disciple?
He even started wondering if Xiang Shaoyun was actually his master's illegitimate child. Reaching that conclusion, he found that what he had tried pulling extremely idiotic. If Xiang Shaoyun knew what Zhuo Yi was thinking, he would most likely praise the fellow for being so imaginative.
When Xiang Shaoyun saw Zhuo Yi, he merely glanced at him indifferently before leaving for his own residence. He couldn't be bothered to waste his time on a nobody like this.
Zhuo Yi was the one to speak, "Hey, Xiang Shaoyun, don't go!"
Xiang Shaoyun then turned and looked at the embarrassed Zhuo Yi and asked, "Yes?"
"C-can you speak to my master for me?" Zhuo Yi asked awkwardly.
"Hehe, I seem to recall that you were the one who had made a move on me," said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.
"If you can speak to my master for me, I can help recommend you to be a member of the Lightning Alliance. I can also help end the conflict you had with Wen Jinrui and Wang Jiaohua," said Zhuo Yi.
Amused, Xiang Shaoyun said, "Let's not talk about that for now. I thought Elder Long told you to leave the Lightning Alliance? Why are you not listening to him?"
A resolute look appeared on Zhuo Yi's face as he declared, "I won't leave the Lightning Alliance easily!"
"Why so? Is a mere Lightning Alliance more important than your master's favor?" Xiang Shaoyun asked.
"Hmph. What do you know? Our alliance leader is undefeated, and he is the number one cultivator below the Skysoar Realm. Moreover, he himself will reach the Skysoar Realm before long, making him the first King of his generation. Furthermore, his master is the vice pavilion master, the Lightning King. He's a person in the midst of becoming an Emperor. Following the Lightning Kid, my status in the pavilion will only grow. Back then, even my master praised my choice. If it wasn't for you, this wouldn't have happened!" said Zhuo Yi proudly, not forgetting to push all the blame onto Xiang Shaoyun.
Xiang Shaoyun asked, "Number one below the Skysoar Realm? Hehe, I am becoming interested in meeting him."
He then ignored Zhuo Yi and walked away.
"Xiang Shaoyun, you will regret your decision!" Zhuo Yi cried out resentfully.
But right after he said that, Long Hui appeared before him and slapped his face.
"AHHHH!"
The heavy slap caused Zhuo Yi to cry out miserably. A few of his teeth even flew out.
"Piss off immediately! From now onward, you are no longer my disciple!" said Long Hui with a firm tone.
It all completely stunned Zhuo Yi.
...
As for Xiang Shaoyun, he was too busy to be bothered about someone like Zhuo Yi. He was planning to enter secluded cultivation for a few days to further improve himself. After that, he would try challenging the limit rooms. It would be even better if he could find a way to cultivate in the Cloud Pavilion for a few days as well. His current focus was to reach the peak of Transformation Realm, and his biggest short term goal was to become a King. After reaching the Skysoar Realm, it would be much easier for him to flee his enemies.
Xiang Shaoyun looked inside his body with his inner gaze focused on his astral cosmos sea. Back then when he was absorbing Yun Flame, he had used some excess flame power to burn the white tiger bone and the top-quality goldsteel stones.
However, that was only enough to smelt the top-quality goldsteel stones, allowing them to blend with the gold lunar liquid that was then absorbed by the Overlord Skyslaying Saber. Much of the Overlord Skyslaying Saber had been repaired as a result, but the white tiger bone was still fine. It had only softened slightly from all the burning.
Therefore, Xiang Shaoyun was going to spend a few days to fully refine the white tiger bone with Yun Flame and repair the Overlord Skyslaying Saber as best as he could. The Overlord Skyslaying Saber was an extraordinary weapon and repairing it would greatly benefit him.
Thus, Xiang Shaoyun started using all of Yun Flame's power to burn the white tiger bone. Yun Flame burned violently, covering the white tiger bone in a fiery blaze. Previously, only a portion of Yun Flame's power was used to burn the bone. It was different this time as the entirety of Yun Flame's power was being utilized.
Even so, the white tiger bone was still not melting. It was insanely tough. But Xiang Shaoyun was patient. He waited silently, faithful that it was only a matter of time before the white tiger bone was fully refined. Yun Flame raged on for three days and three nights. Finally, the white tiger bone showed signs of being refined.
"Roar! Roar!"
Suddenly, a white tiger apparition appeared on the white tiger bone and started roaring. This was the excess white tiger essence that had remained in the white tiger bone. The instant Xiang Shaoyun sensed the white tiger essence, he felt some sort of resonance and intimacy with it. Since he was someone who had refined the white tiger soul, this strand of white tiger essence would definitely not harm him.
Xiang Shaoyun was overjoyed when he saw the white tiger essence. When he refined the white tiger soul previously, he had gathered all the white tiger energy in his second star. A part of the white tiger soul power was absorbed by the Nether Soul Domain.
Because of that, the white tiger power within him was slightly lacking. Or perhaps that was simply due to his incompatibility with the white tiger energy. As a result, he hadn't been able to properly make use of the white tiger power. This white tiger essence presented an opportunity to him.
"Come out!" Xiang Shaoyun summoned the strand of white tiger essence.
When the white tiger essence sensed the summons of a power with the same origin, it came out of the astral cosmos sea. Xiang Shaoyun immediately circulated his Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual to direct the white tiger essence toward his second star. The white tiger essence did not resist and went along obediently.
The white tiger energy within his second star seemed to have immediately turned alive upon sensing the arrival of the white tiger essence. Roars of tiger started resounding within the second star.
At the same time, Xiang Shaoyun felt some sort of power within his Nether Soul Domain resonating with the white tiger essence. Because of that, even his soul started to grow. He quickly fused the white tiger energy with the white tiger essence before circulating the energy through his body several times, filling his entire body with the power of the white tiger essence, causing his physical body to grow stronger.
Suddenly, the image of some of the white tigers' innate attack techniques appeared in his Nether Soul Domain. They were part of the white tiger inheritance, and Xiang Shaoyun had somehow obtained it.
This was a massive harvest!
