Harvest! Mastering Profound Yin Divine Water!

Given the Demon Clan's power and hegemonic status in the Primordial World at the time,

it certainly would not have been easy to kill one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, since they were all among the foremost figures of the Primordial World.

But killing a great witch like Houyi would not have been difficult at all.

How could such a trivial matter require the demon empress to sacrifice her own body?

Even if Chang'e was not Changxi's true self, it was still incredibly explosive news.

Tongtian naturally did not quite believe it.

On this visit to the Taiyin Star, the best outcome would naturally be for Xihe and Changxi to agree to lend him their sanctuary so he could temper his body.

He was not an unreasonable person, either.

He would not simply arrive and seize someone else's sanctuary outright.

Besides, while cultivating in the Primordial World, whether it was the Sun Star or the Taiyin Star, both were merely temporary places of cultivation to him. Taking them for himself would be useless.

Dijun and Taiyi had brought it upon themselves. If they had not greedily set their sights on his spiritual treasures, they would not have been beaten until they could not return home.

The Primordial World believed in the strong devouring the weak, with fists ruling supreme.

But fists alone were certainly not enough.

There was no need to offend two Innate Great Beings for no reason, so long as they did not obstruct his affairs.

Tongtian was still willing to sit down and have a proper talk with them.

Thus, he did not rush to take away the Innate Moon Laurel Tree. Instead, he stood before it and called out, "Are Fairy Xihe and Fairy Changxi present?"

"I have a matter I wish to discuss. Would the two of you be willing to show yourselves and grant me an audience?"

Empowered by his mana, Tongtian's voice echoed through the vast, empty void.

At that moment, two graceful figures appeared in the distance and swiftly arrived before Tongtian.

The woman in the lead possessed breathtaking beauty. Her bearing was cold yet dignified and noble, her figure graceful, while her cascading black hair fell behind her like a waterfall, making her seem all the more aloof.

Both wore exquisite pale-blue gowns. The other woman was likewise peerlessly beautiful, but unlike the stately woman in the lead, her face held an innocent and pure air.

If one had to distinguish their auras, one was a mature beauty, while the other was an innocent young maiden.

The leader was clearly Xihe, the elder sister among the lunar goddesses, while the youthful one was her younger sister, Changxi.

Whether in appearance or figure, the two were undoubtedly among the finest female immortals in the Primordial World.

This made Tongtian's eyes light up.

He had seen plenty of beauties, but women with beauty and temperament like theirs were exceedingly rare!

Their peerless elegance was utterly beyond comparison with those women caked in heavy makeup.

The gap between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

At this moment, both Xihe and Changxi were sizing up Tongtian.

Tongtian had not concealed his aura. The instant he descended upon the Taiyin Star, they had already sensed him.

They had originally intended to see what Tongtian wanted, yet he had immediately detected them.

He had even called them by name.

That was what puzzled the sisters most.

They did not remember knowing Tongtian. Why did this Daoist know them?

"May I ask this fellow Daoist's name?"

"My sister and I have lived upon the Taiyin Star for many years. Could you perhaps be Dijun or Taiyi from the Sun Star?"

A trace of confusion flashed through Xihe's beautiful eyes as she took the initiative to guess.

If he had been Dijun or Taiyi, born from the Sun Star,

then it would have been normal for him to know the identities of the two sisters.

After all, they were all Innate Gods born in the Outer Starry Skies.

They certainly would not have been strangers to one another.

However, the reason Xihe had this suspicion was mainly because she sensed the aura of Solar True Fire from Tongtian.

It was an extraordinarily terrifying aura of true fire!

That meant he must have come from the Sun Star.

And the Sun Star had originally been Dijun and Taiyi's sanctuary.

Hearing her sister's words, Changxi could not help but mutter to herself.

Dijun and Taiyi should have taken human form at roughly the same time as the two sisters.

Could their cultivation actually have surpassed hers and her sister's by so much?

She could sense that the aura Tongtian released was immensely powerful!

At the very least, it was not something she and her sister could contend against.

Tongtian was somewhat puzzled by this. Why had they mistaken him for Dijun or Taiyi?

He shook his head. "I am neither Dijun nor Taiyi. I am Shangqing Tongtian, a Pangu Sect Disciple."

"I am not an Innate being from the Outer Starry Skies, but one from the Primordial World."

Hearing this, Xihe's pretty face filled with astonishment.

Had she mistaken him for someone else?

Looking somewhat embarrassed, she said, "I sensed the scorching aura of Solar True Fire from you, Fellow Daoist."

"So I assumed you were one of the two fellow Daoists from the Sun Star."

"I was presumptuous."

Seeing her sister's embarrassed appearance, Changxi softly said, "A Pangu Sect Disciple?"

"Doesn't that mean he is a descendant of Great God Pangu?"

"That lineage is far more formidable than the Three-legged Golden Crow lineage of Dijun and Taiyi."

Xihe glanced at her younger sister and smiled. "My sister can be a little childish. I hope you will not take offense, Fellow Daoist."

Tongtian chuckled. "No matter!"

"Fairy Changxi is simply pure by nature. I am not someone who nitpicks."

"As for the Solar True Fire aura on me, it is because I only recently left the Sun Star."

"I tempered my body with Solar True Fire on the Sun Star. That is likely why I absorbed so much of its aura!"

Xihe and Changxi were both stunned by those words.

What did he mean?

Solar True Fire could temper the body?

Was that real?

It was one of the foremost flames in the Primordial World!

How powerful did one's body have to be to use Solar True Fire for body tempering?

Most importantly, his cultivation was already sufficiently powerful, as one could tell from the aura he displayed.

With such formidable cultivation, he still needed to temper his body?

That truly made him an oddity. There were probably very few people in the entire Primordial World who specifically tempered their bodies.

For cultivators, there were only three truly important factors.

First was lineage, second was cultivation, and third was spiritual treasures.

As for the physical body, unless one was a being gifted in body cultivation,

no one would waste time on it.

Yet someone like Tongtian, who could even use Solar True Fire to temper his body, was undoubtedly a true powerhouse even across the Primordial World.

This caused both Xihe and Changxi to regard him with newfound respect.

"Then have you come to our Taiyin Star this time to temper your body as well, Fellow Daoist?"

Xihe's beautiful eyes shifted as she began to understand Tongtian's purpose in coming to the Taiyin Star.

He had used Solar True Fire to temper his body on the Sun Star, so he had likely come to the Taiyin Star for the Profound Yin Divine Water.

Seeing that she had already guessed his purpose, Tongtian got straight to the point. "To be honest with you both,"

"I came to borrow this treasured place and temper my body with Profound Yin Divine Water."

Changxi's eyes widened as she bluntly said, "Using Profound Yin Divine Water to temper your body is extremely dangerous."

"Are you sure you wish to do this?"

Tongtian smiled. "Cultivation is about seeking fortune amid danger."

"Do not worry, fairies. Even if it proves ineffective, I will remember the favor you have done me."

With matters put that way, Xihe and Changxi could not say much more.

The sisters exchanged a glance and reached an understanding.

Xihe softly said, "Profound Yin Divine Water is condensed from the yin-cold qi between heaven and earth."

"It stands in the most extreme opposition to Solar True Fire."

"Since you have made up your mind, Fellow Daoist, I can say no more."

With that, she motioned for Tongtian to follow, and the two sisters led the way ahead.

Before long, Tongtian felt the temperature between heaven and earth abruptly turn icy cold.

A pool appeared before him.

The area around the pool was covered in solidified ice crystals, and wisps of white cold mist could even be seen rising above its waters.

"This is the Profound Yin Divine Pool, formed from gathered Profound Yin Divine Water."

"I should say this once more."

"If you enter the pool, you may very well be frozen solid immediately."

After thinking it over, Xihe still offered another warning.

When facing Solar True Fire, one might still find some way to flee.

But once one entered the pool, there would no longer be any chance to escape.

Endless cold qi would completely seal away all one's strength!

Even if Tongtian's body was powerful, he might be unable to wield that strength at all before sinking to the bottom of the divine pool.

Changxi also said solemnly, "If you sink to the bottom of the divine pool,"

"with our current cultivation, I fear my sister and I would be powerless to save you."

Tongtian gave a light laugh. "No matter!"

"I know my limits!"

"Thank you both for opening this door of convenience."

With that, he walked to the edge of the divine pool.

He possessed an Innate Merit Treasure, as well as the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Mystic Origin Water Control Flag.

Even if the Profound Yin Divine Water truly proved impossible to resist, he had nothing to fear.

At worst, he could fully unleash the power of that drop of heart's blood within him.

That would grant him immense vitality and blood qi, allowing him to burst out of the Profound Yin Divine Pool.

Thus, he was not worried about encountering any danger.

Without hesitation, Tongtian put away his Daoist robe, revealing his well-built upper body. In the next instant, he leaped directly into the Profound Yin Divine Pool.

In an instant, bone-piercing cold seeped deep into his marrow, completely enveloping Tongtian.

Tongtian could no longer even feel his own body; his limbs seemed as though they did not belong to him.

As expected of Profound Yin Divine Water. It truly possesses extreme cold!

Tongtian was inwardly astonished and hurriedly circulated his blood qi, hoping to use it to contend with the power of the Profound Yin Divine Water.

Yet no matter how violently his blood qi surged, it was completely useless.

Ice crystals had already begun to form across the surface of his skin.

This prevented his blood qi from erupting through his body, much less allowing it to contend against the Profound Yin Divine Water.

Of course, if he activated the heart's blood within him, the effect would certainly be better.

But doing so would defeat the purpose of body tempering.

Steadying his breath and focusing his mind, Tongtian circulated the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill and the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill together. Strands of cold qi immediately began roaming through his body.

To completely refine and devour this extreme chill, Tongtian pondered briefly before finally deploying Solar True Fire.

Solar True Fire could not manifest within the Profound Yin Divine Water, but once activated, blazing heat still spread through Tongtian's body.

This offset much of the cold nature of the Profound Yin Divine Water.

The pressure on his body was immediately reduced by more than half. Under such conditions, the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill circulated frantically, constantly devouring cold qi to increase the strength of his body.

Xihe and Changxi did not leave right away. They were also somewhat worried about Tongtian's condition.

Although Tongtian had been extremely confident, if some accident truly occurred,

at least the two of them could help think of a solution.

However, they had not expected Tongtian to be so unrestrained, stripping off his clothes and jumping directly into the pool.

The sight of his muscular body made blushes rise on both their pretty faces.

"Elder Sister, we should leave this place."

"We should not interfere with Fellow Daoist Tongtian's cultivation."

Changxi took the initiative to speak.

They had waited for a while, yet Tongtian had not been completely frozen by the Profound Yin Divine Water.

This showed that Tongtian's body was fully capable of withstanding the power of the Profound Yin Divine Water.

With that, they no longer needed to worry.

Xihe's face was filled with emotion as she said, "Such a powerful body is likely among the best in the entire Primordial World."

"No wonder he can temper it with Solar True Fire and Profound Yin Divine Water."

Changxi nodded in agreement. "There are many powerful experts in the Primordial World."

"But Fellow Daoist Tongtian's lineage is also extraordinary: a Pangu Sect Disciple."

"In that regard alone, he far surpasses other Innate Great Beings!"

Xihe nodded slightly. That was indeed true.

But innate endowment had always been part of one's strength.

No matter what, Tongtian's safety was certainly not an issue.

Thus, the two sisters did not remain there any longer. Watching the bare-chested Tongtian in the divine pool was simply too embarrassing.

Tongtian, however, paid no attention to the two of them.

His entire focus was immersed in tempering his physical body.

No one knew how much time had passed, but he could feel that he had absorbed enough cold energy.

The rapidly circulating Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill suddenly sped up dramatically.

Tongtian was instantly overjoyed. This meant that his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill had advanced further, directly reaching the sixth revolution!

With the breakthrough in his cultivation technique came another leap in his physical body.

Tongtian's blood and vitality immediately erupted with deafening roars. Centered on him, the Profound Yin Divine Water within the divine pool was also affected, sending countless ripples spreading outward without end.

Feeling the surging power within him, Tongtian looked thrilled.

With another breakthrough in the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill, his physical body was now comparable to a low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

It could be said that, relying on his physical body alone, he now had the confidence to bathe in Profound Yin Divine Water!

But that was not all. The Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill and the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill were a complete set of techniques that complemented one another.

Now, as the Nine Revolutions Primordial Skill broke through, Tongtian's Nine Revolutions Profound Skill broke through along with it.

His aura surged abruptly, and his cultivation crossed the final threshold, smoothly reaching the peak of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm!

Among the many Innate Gods, this level of cultivation was absolutely the fastest.

Even Laozi and Yuanshi, who possessed the same innate endowment as him, definitely had not reached the peak of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm yet.

It could be said that Tongtian had already pulled far ahead of the other Innate Great Beings.

With both his physical body and cultivation breaking through together, Tongtian's combat strength increased by several times over.

Double good fortune! This felt unbelievably good.

Tongtian thus began accelerating his absorption of the Profound Yin Divine Water. Vast torrents of cold energy swept through his internal organs like ocean waves before crashing into his surging blood and vitality.

His body immediately became a chaotic mess, like a world divided between ice and fire.

Yet there were no ill effects. On the contrary, his physical body rose to another level.

Just then, a notification sounded beside his ears.

You had soaked in Profound Yin Divine Water and personally experienced its power of extreme cold and extreme yin. You had successfully mastered the divine ability: Profound Yin Divine Water!

Tongtian's entire body trembled. He had actually mastered the Profound Yin Divine Water as well?

This was truly wonderful!

Solar True Fire in his left hand, and Profound Yin Divine Water in the other.

He had mastered both of these powers of extreme opposition. Once his cultivation reached the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, he could directly comprehend the power of the Laws of Water and Fire based on these two divine abilities.

This was what it meant to gain one step ahead, then stay ahead at every step.

Having successfully mastered the Profound Yin Divine Water, Tongtian's heart stirred, and he immediately swam toward the depths of the Profound Yin Divine Pool.

He wanted to see just how deep the Profound Yin Divine Pool truly was.
