Chapter 526: Chapter 173: Ninefold Blast Blade, Born Taiyang’s Child, Li Ping’an of Divine Wood Hall

As expected, "Bursting Force" did not convert into a skill on his panel.

It seemed like this was a unique path through the ages, not even recorded on the panel.

Li Yuan himself didn’t know what was going on; he always felt that although the process of seizing the Fire Seed was full of accidents and coincidences, it shouldn’t be unique.

Unless... in this world, there’s no fire anywhere else.

Fire is a result of the special environment of the Eternal Night Permafrost.

In other places, the scattered, ethereal Yang Qi would never actively gather, but would only passively form a Meat Field.

He rotated his five fingers, grasped them virtually, and clenched them into a fist.

Between the fists, a violent stream of fire rushed swiftly.

This was the ninth time Li Yuan gathered the Bursting Force, and this was also his current limit.

But today, he was ready to try a tenth time.

After all... his cultivation was coming to a pause, and his child in the permafrost was about to be born.

He could also meet his long-lost child’s mother, his heart and desires were thinking of Zhenyan Xue.

"Hah!"

Li Yuan shouted, concentrating fully as he slashed with the tenth Blast Blade.

The power suppressed in the previous nine times, upon seeing the "point of exertion," erupted madly like "suppressed lava seeing an opening."

Li Yuan’s thoughts moved slightly, and he guided and gathered it into one force.

Swish!!

The blade cleaved down.

But there was no movement, no explosion.

This unexpected surprise made Li Yuan overjoyed.

"Is it the impending birth of the child giving me good luck?"

Previously, in every attempt, he would slash out a violent crimson Fire Wave on the tenth slash.

With this slash, the Fire Wave violently attacked, impacting dozens of zhang of land, shattering everything into scorched earth, and the dust flying could actually drift several li away.

In other words, even if someone was several li away from Li Yuan, they could still be hit by the aftershocks of this slash, like the gust of wind brought by a rushing high-speed train brushing past their face.

Compared to the "shattering" internal destruction, this "bursting" power was more like a brutal, scorching external force.

Internal shattering, when touching an object, would shatter the object.

External force, on the other hand, squeezes from the outside, causing rapid cracks from the outside in, then collapsing and shattering.

The expression of "shattering" power is quieter.

The "bursting" power is more exaggerated.

Merging these static and dynamic forces together, that is incredibly difficult.

As for stepping from Fifth Grade into Fourth Grade, Li Yuan had read many books and seen many people at the Divine Wood Hall, this breakthrough method was simple, in an equally matched battle, deepen the understanding, so that the Heart of the Five Sources completes its first Ancestral Transformation, and then... give birth to a second personality.

However, Li Yuan’s Ancestral Talisman wasn’t even on his mind, he didn’t know how he would break through to Fourth Grade, but ultimately, it required a grand battle.

But for such a grand battle, he had to choose the timing, and also a suitable battlefield.

Ideally, it would be done without any subsequent trouble.

Compared to a grand battle, he was more interested in fusing these powers now, as it would genuinely enhance his strength.

Li Yuan’s mind was no longer limited to the ranks of "Shadow Blood," he also began actively pursuing the power brought by "fire."

In his view, "fire’s" power was a power system besides "Shadow Blood," which was just like the "ghost," also a power system.

Various thoughts flashed through, Li Yuan shook his blade, stretched his muscles and bones, took a few deep breaths, calmed down slightly, and slowly dispersed the power gathered around him before stepping into the manor.

"Master."

"Master."

Xiaozhu and Xiaomei looked at Li Yuan happily.

Now, they both appeared as women, but the master still looked like a youth.

While serving the master when on the couch, they did not feel at a disadvantage at all, instead, they wished to be with the master every day.

Li Yuan asked, "Where is the lady?"

Xiaozhu replied, "The lady is at Cui Zhu Residence dealing with urgent reports sent by the Cloud Mountain Commerce Association."

"Who is managing the Cloud Commerce Association now?"

"Qian Da, Zhou Jia, and many whom the lady said would definitely be loyal."

Li Yuan knew that this "would definitely be loyal" meant they were bound by Human Skin Handcuffs.

Xiaozhu continued, "The lady said, the enemies outside are no longer targeting our Cloud Mountain Commerce Association much, saying there’s a vaguely reached state of mutually non-aggression."

Li Yuan nodded, then arrived at a quiet secluded bamboo pavilion.

The courtyard of the small pavilion was covered with snow, which Li Yuan did not disturb, stepping directly in front of the door, then gently knocked on the door, saying: "Sister Xue."

"Husband."

The door opened, and warm air accompanied by the scent of pine fire came rushing out.

The two entered the house and promptly closed the door.

Li Yuan said, "I have to go to the Western Pole now."

Xue Ning smiled and said, "I don’t know if Ping’an will have a brother or a sister. But no matter what, this child will surely be fair and plump, with red-tinged twin pupils, very beautiful."

Li Yuan seemed a bit disheartened, unwilling to say more about it, and instead said, "Sister Xue, help me grind ink, I want to write a letter to Yaojue."

Xue Ning was momentarily stunned.

Li Yuan said, "The Central Plains are getting more chaotic, I’m worried that one day a sudden grand battle might erupt, so... I want to tell Yaojue in advance that I’m not dead, and then let her, at the critical moment, bring Ping’an, Cui Huayin, Jing Shuixiang to the Cloud Mountain Path."

"Husband has thought it through." Xue Ning said softly.

Then, she laughed again and said, "I got some insider news from the association side, they say Ping’an is very popular with the girls, and I wonder if that brat has given us a grandson yet."
