Tianzhou, somewhere in the Flame Empire.
Long Ao had caused havoc in the Ghost King Sect and used the Nine Needles Sealing God twice in a row, causing his injuries to be very serious, especially the backlash.
If it weren't for Long Fu's help, the backlash from using the Nine Needles Sealing God twice would have been enough to immediately take Long Ao's life. But even so, Long Ao's body was on the verge of collapse.
"Brother Long, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Jun was shocked when he saw the pale Long Ao on the verge of collapse.
Waving his hand, Long Ao said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Long Ao was very grateful to Xia Jun because he knew very well why Xia Jun wanted to follow him. After all, he had caused havoc in the Ghost King Sect. Not to mention his injuries, the Golden-sun Sect would definitely not let him go.
"Brother Xia, thank you very much this time."
"Don't be so polite with me, Long Ao. I've never admired anyone in my life, but I admire you very much."
"Brother Xia, I need to find a place to recuperate."
Xia Jun nodded. Of course, Xia Jun also saw that something was wrong with Long Ao. The two immediately found a secluded place. Long Ao entered the cave while Xia Jun stayed outside to guard.
In the cave, in the Dragon Seal Space.
"Master, you've used the Nine Needles Sealing God twice in a row. The backlash has reached a critical point. I'll temporarily help you suppress it, but it's not a problem. Master, you must repair it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
How could Long Ao not know what Long Fu said?
"Long Fu, what should I do now?"
Long Ao knew that since Long Fu asked him to use the Nine Needles Sealing God at the same time, there must be a way to deal with the backlash.
After thinking about it, Long Fu said with a solemn expression, "Master, if you want to suppress the backlash and integrate it, there's only one way, which is to use the backlash to transform, but it's very painful."
Breaking through the second metamorphosis with the help of the backlash?
Hearing Long Fu's idea, Long Ao was also shocked. However, things had already reached this point. Even if it didn't work, it had to work.
In the following time, Long Ao followed Long Fu's instructions and began to use the backlash to break through the second metamorphosis.
Long Fu's meaning was very simple. As long as Long Ao could endure it, then not only would he not suffer a backlash, but his strength would also rapidly increase. However, this kind of pain was not something a normal person could endure.
For three whole days, Long Ao endured this kind of pain.
Humans were like this. If they couldn't withstand pain, how could there be a rainbow? Long Ao endured the pain and backlash, and borrowed the strength in his body to undergo a second transformation.
There were three transformations, and each transformation represented a qualitative change.
"Brother Long, are you okay?"
Three days later, seeing Long Ao walk out of the cave, Xia Jun anxiously asked. Although he didn't know what kind of secret technique Long Ao used to increase his strength by two whole levels, he wouldn't believe that there wasn't any backlash.
"I'm fine, Brother Xia. Thank you for these three days."
Xia Jun seemed a little unhappy and said, "Brother Long, you and I are friends. There's no need to say thanks. If you say thanks again in the future, it means that you don't treat me as a friend."
Long Ao smiled and said, "Brother Xia, I want to ask about the Six Sects Battle Royale in a month. What's going on?"
Six Sects Battle Royale.
There was only one thing that Long Ao was concerned about, and that was the Six Sects Battle Royale in a month's time. No matter what, he had already successfully passed two out of the three stages. Only the last stage was left before he could take away Aoxue.
The three stages were filled with danger, but Long Ao knew that the third stage was the most dangerous and also the most difficult. After all, he had to snatch the Sovereign Golden Core from the hands of the six major sects. Just thinking about it, one could imagine how difficult it would be.
"Brother Long, the Six Sects Battle Royale was just proposed. The goal is to obtain the Sovereign Golden Core."
After thinking for a while, Xia Jun continued, "Eight Void Realms. You should know what it means to be a Sovereign. After a Sovereign cultivator dies, all of his strength will be gathered in the Golden Core. If a Sovereign cultivator obtains it, the chances of breaking through to the Sovereign realm will be very high."
"Brother Xia, I heard that the Sovereign Golden Core was originally in Zhang Mo's hands. Why did he take it out?"
With regards to this, Long Ao was very curious. Since the Sovereign Golden Core was so precious and helpful to Sovereigns, why did Zhang Mo take it out? Why didn't he consume it himself to break through to the Sovereign realm?
As if he could guess what Long Ao was thinking, Xia Jun said, "Zhang Mo obviously wants to take the Sovereign Golden Core for himself, but he doesn't have the guts."
"Why is that?"
"The Sovereign Golden Core was obtained by the six major sects. It's just that Zhang Mo is temporarily in charge of it. During this wedding, the Master of the Blood Sea Sect, Guan Feng, won't be able to do it. In the end, the Six Sects Battle Royale was decided to compete for the Sovereign Golden Core."
So that's how it is.
"The Six Sects Battle Royale has a very simple rule. Every sect will send ten disciples to the Crying Ghost Ridge to compete for the Sovereign Golden Core. If you are included, there will be a total of sixty people competing for the Sovereign Golden Core."
After thinking for a while, Xia Jun continued, "Brother Long, in this Six Sects Battle Royale, my Thunder Sect will do our best to help you compete for the Sovereign Golden Core."
Long Ao did not reject. After all, the participants of the Six Sects Battle Royale were all geniuses. With his strength alone, it would be difficult for him to obtain the Sovereign Golden Core.
Sovereign Golden Core.
Long Ao's face was filled with determination. No matter what happened, he must obtain the Sovereign Golden Core in the Six Sects Battle Royale.
"Brother Long, there are still twenty-seven days until the Six Sects Battle Royale. What are you planning to do next?"
"Cultivate."
"Do you need my help?"
"No need. Twenty-seven days later, we will meet at the Crying Ghost Ridge."
"Brother Long, forgive me for being blunt. This time, you have caused a huge ruckus in the Ghost King Sect. If there are no accidents, the Ghost King Sect will not let this matter rest. So, if you are willing, you can follow me to the Thunder Sect and participate in the Six Sects Battle Royale. What do you think?"
How could Long Ao not know about Xia Jun's good intentions? But, was he really going to take refuge in the Thunder Sect?
Long Ao knew very well that he could hide from this matter for a while, but he could not hide from it forever. He had to face it in the end. It was precisely because of this that Long Ao did not even think about it and said, "I will settle this matter myself. Brother Xia, you should go back and prepare well. I will definitely repay this favor in the future."
Seeing that Long Ao had rejected him, Xia Jun did not continue to say anything. He nodded his head and told Long Ao to be careful. Then, he turned and left. In a short while, he had disappeared without a trace.
The Six Sect Battle Royale. Long Ao did not continue to dwell on the matter of the Six Sect Battle Royale, because he knew that his current strength was far from enough to successfully obtain the Sovereign Golden Pill from the Six Sect Battle Royale. He could not rely on the Nine Needles Apotheosis this time.
