Xu Ziyan suddenly said with deep regret:
"If only Buyu hadn't met with that accident, we could all have had a proper celebration together."
Xu Taiping's expression dimmed as well.
The reason he had not immediately come down to the Yellow Springs to share the good news after the Chaotic Stars Assembly ended was that he had been waiting for Buyu.
At her words, however, Dugu Qingxiao declared boldly:
"It won't be too late to save that celebration for when we issue our Fist Challenge to the Three Corpses Cave!"
Xu Taiping's gaze sharpened at those words.
"Second Senior Brother is right. Let's save this celebration for when we go to the Three Corpses Cave!"
They all nodded.
Blade Ghost asked then:
"Taiping, you still haven't told us why your physique and aura have improved so dramatically all of a sudden."
Xu Taiping immediately answered:
"In the Flame Emperor Treasury, I received guidance from the Flame Emperor's Divine Sense and obtained a strand of Fist Intent. Although I haven't comprehended much of it over these past few months, I've still made some progress."
"As for the improvement in my cultivation aura, that was thanks to a cultivation technique I obtained from Dragon Emperor Ao Yan back then."
"During the Chaotic Stars Assembly, I cultivated that technique anew at the risk of falling in realm."
"Although I'm still only in the Dao-Integration Heavenly Communion Realm, when I drive it at full power, my aura can just barely approach that of a Half-Immortal."
Hearing this, both Blade Ghost and Dugu Qingxiao beside him looked astonished.
Dugu Qingxiao even drew a deep breath before saying:
"Taiping, switching cultivation techniques at the risk of falling in realm was far too dangerous."
Blade Ghost, however, curled his lips into a smile at those words.
"Good!
