Duan De stared at Ren. Yan Ruyu, stunned by his words, murmured, "He's gathered the legacies of three Great Emperors. Is... is that why Ren is so powerful?"
Yan Ruyu pondered this, hope rising in her eyes.
As Yan Ruyu waited expectantly, flames burned the violet-gold skeleton inside the Hengyu Furnace.
As it burned, flowing blood traced out meridians, then flesh.
But every bit it formed drew a torrent of flame.
The process was swift, yet every bit that survived was refined to extraordinary purity.
Feeling his body gradually take shape again, Ren knew the First Turn of the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique was nearly complete. The body it would give him would far surpass the First Turn's usual limits.
After all, Ren's First Turn had been forged through countless trials and rounds of refinement. It was nothing so simple as one might imagine.
Many people cultivated the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique, but their results varied enormously. Even with the same cultivation method, each person understood it differently and refined themselves to a different degree.
Ren, at least, had refined his First Turn to the absolute limit.

Now that his flawless body had formed, Ren's eyes snapped open.
Violet-Gold Divine Light burst from his Double Pupils!
Boom...
Inside the Hengyu Furnace, the formation made of Golden Crows shattered under the Violet-Gold Divine Light!
The Violet-Gold Divine Light pierced the flames and shot straight outside!
Outside, the Hengyu Furnace was about to be raised against the Dragon-Pattern
