Yang Xuanwu's Path to the Sacred Body

On Four Symbols Island, Wuhuang walked out of the main hall of the Alliance Headquarters, holding a Storage Ring in her hand, which contained various resources that Yang Tianyou had exchanged.

Because it involved too many resources, Yang Tianyou dared not send ordinary clansmen to escort them, so he had to entrust his good friend and junior apprentice Wuhuang to make the trip.

After obtaining the resources, Wuhuang did not rush to Purple Moon Mountain immediately. Instead, she went to Fairy Qingyu's Daoist Grounds and handed over the Sun Crystal that Yang Tianyou had exchanged to Fairy Qingyu's Registered Disciple.

Previously, the Ye Household of Xuan Province was destroyed, Yang Tianyou obtained the Ye Household's treasured treasure, the Golden Sun Lotus, from Feng Cang.

This treasure is the main material for refining the Sun-Illuminating Divine Pearl, but some Sun Crystals are also needed as auxiliary materials. The Yang Household did not have such a treasure before, but it was delivered after this exchange.

Fairy Qingyu is the Grand Elder of Soaring Phoenix Tower and the Lineage Master of the Vermilion Bird Lineage.

As is widely known, the Vermilion Bird lineage of the Four Symbols Sect Vermilion Bird Lineage is most skilled in Artifact Refining and Alchemy.

Fairy Qingyu was a Sixth-Tier Artifact Refining Master. With such an ally, Yang Tianyou naturally entrusted her with the refining of the Sun-Illuminating Divine Pearl.

"Reporting to Senior Wuhuang, Master said that the Sun-Illuminating Divine Pearl will be ready in three months, and she will send someone to deliver it directly to Purple Moon Mountain!" the Registered Disciple said respectfully.

Wuhuang nodded, then moved and left the place.

"Sigh, as a fellow Nascent Soul Cultivator, when will I be able to be like Vice Alliance Leader Yang, able to call Sage Manifestation powerhouse my brother?" the woman murmured to herself with melancholy and envy.

On the Purple Moon Archipelago, Wuhuang flew down and, amidst a warm welcome from the Yang Household's senior members, arrived inside the Island.

"These are the resources your Nineteenth Uncle asked me to give you: Coiling Dragon Stone, Crimson-Refined Sunflower, Azure Sea Jade, and Heavenly Wind Pearl." Wuhuang took the four Spirit Items out of her Storage Ring and handed them to Yang Xuanwu.

The latter accepted it, smiling as he said, "I must thank Senior Wuhuang for making the trip."

"It's nothing. I just have some business to attend to in the Northern River Region, which requires my presence." Wuhuang waved her hand dismissively, then her eyes flickered, and she asked curiously, "Are you preparing to condense the Four Symbols Saint Body?"

"Exactly!" Yang Xuanwu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Wuhuang looked Yang Xuanwu up and down. After a long while, she nodded slightly and said, "With your pure and refined battle intent, combined with these resources, there is a 30-40% chance that you can successfully condense it."

After thinking for a moment, she reminded him again, "Refining the Four Symbols Saint Body is no ordinary task; one wrong move and you could injure yourself. You must remember this..."

Wuhuang spoke at length about her experiences and lessons learned in condensing the Four Symbols Saint Body. Yang Xuanwu's eyes gleamed with a strange light. "Senior, you have condensed the Four Symbols Saint Body before?"

"Hmm!" Wuhuang nodded, saying with some regret, "Unfortunately, I failed and was forced to abandon the earth and wind attributes, ultimately only managing to refine a slightly weaker Water and Fire Yin-Yang Sacred Body!"

"Even with the qualifications of the seniors, they all failed?" Yang Xuanwu was slightly taken aback, a sense of gravity creeping into his heart.

He had heard Yang Tianyou mention Wuhuang's talent before; it was in no way inferior to the Eight Desolations Saber Saint, and her combat strength was extremely strong. She was truly a prodigy of her generation.

Yet even such a prodigy failed to condense the Four Symbols Saint Body?

"Hehe, the Four Symbols Saint Body contains four kinds of power, with an extremely high upper limit."

It is said that once this physique is successfully refined, it will greatly help with future cultivation.

It belongs to a physique that becomes stronger as it Late Stage, so condensing it is extremely difficult.

Not only does it require a large amount of rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures the four elements as energy support, but most importantly, it requires an extremely pure and refined will to control the condensed physique.

If one's will is not strong enough to suppress the restlessness of the four attributes, one will suffer a backlash from one's constitution, resulting in serious injury or even death on the spot.

I only dared to try it because I had my master Dharma Protector and had prepared the best Wound-Healing Pills beforehand.

But in the end, we failed to suppress the riots of those four forces, which is my lifelong regret!

Speaking of this, Wuhuang couldn't help but sigh, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

Wuhuang, since her debut, has swept aside all heroes. There are very few things that can make her suffer. Of all these things, the one she regrets the most is the failure to condense the Four Symbols Saint Body.

The Four Symbols Saint Body is different from other physiques; once you fail, there is no second chance.

That's why Wuhuang initially opted to settle for the less desirable option of condensing the Water and Fire Sacred Body.

"If you want to condense the Four Symbols Saint Body, in addition to these four treasures, you must take all kinds of precautions to avoid being seriously injured if you fail," Wuhuang reminded her.

Yang Xuanwu smiled and shook his head. "As the senior said, the most important thing in condensing the Four Symbols Saint Body is that pure and refined will, which can suppress the resistance and restlessness of the four elemental powers."

If that's the case, why leave yourself a way out?

One cannot truly live without being obsessed.

Without the courage to fight with one's back to the wall and burn one's boats, how can one condense the Four Symbols Saint Body?

Boom!!

Yang Xuanwu's resolute words struck Wuhuang's heart like a thunderbolt.

"No madness, no life! No madness, no life..." she kept repeating these six words, and suddenly her mind cleared.

"So, was I too cowardly back then? But if I could choose again, would I be like him?" Wuhuang asked herself, unable to find a definite answer.

But she knew that in this situation, no answer was the best answer.

If she had to choose again, she... still wouldn't choose Yang Xuanwu's path.

There is great terror in the face of life and death, and even a prodigy like Wuhuang is no exception.

Is it really worth risking your life just to develop a better physique?

She won't do that.

But Yang Xuanwu was different.

He was an absolute seeker of the Way, and what he sought was the Dao of Combat.

Constantly striving for higher goals was an unwavering belief that permeated Yang Xuanwu's entire life.

He would not hesitate to give his life for this.

If you're going to do something, do it the best; if you're going to fight, fight the strongest.

Unrivaled in battle, with an inextinguishable fighting spirit!

This was Yang Xuanwu.

"I am not as good as you!" Wuhuang suddenly laughed. She shook her head, stood up, thought for a moment, and handed a Jade Slip to Yang Xuanwu.

"Being prepared is always better than being unprepared. Even a war god can't be a reckless fool, can he?" She blinked, then vanished in a flash.

Yang Xuanwu held the Jade Slip, smiled calmly, and turned to go back into seclusion.

Now is not the time to condense the Four Symbols Saint Body. The best time will be when you break through to the next realm and receive help from the power of heaven and earth.

However, fusing the four treasures into the body in advance to lay a solid foundation does not conflict with the subsequent advancement of physical constitution.
