Gu Xuan's strongest move now was the Star Picking Hand, a first-grade Mortal class martial art. In a short period of time, there would not be any changes to this move.
After all, Gu Xuan's flame power had only reached second-grade Mortal class. If he did not devour the Earth fire or Beast Fire, it would be impossible for him to increase it further by relying on the Heaven Mending Pill. In fact, the Heaven Mending Pill was only a supporting effect. Although it was better than nothing, the effect was pitifully poor.
Although the Star Plucking Hand was powerful, it did not have much of an advantage against saber and sword martial arts. Gu Xuan was not afraid of ordinary sabers and swords, but if it were some divine weapons, he would be at a disadvantage if he used his bare hands.
However, if he used the Divine Weapon Arts to strengthen his palm, it would create a super palm that was comparable to a divine weapon!
If he used this palm to execute the Star Picking Hand, its power would increase by several times, or even ten times!
If he strengthened the weak parts of the body, he could only strengthen one. However, there were several weak parts of the body, such as the eyes, throat, and chest, so there was not much meaning in protecting one.
"Offense is the best defense. I have strengthened my palm, and its strength is tyrannical. If someone attacks me, I will crush them with one palm. Then, no matter how weak the body is, it will be meaningless."
Gu Xuan thought to himself. Soon after, he made up his mind and activated the Divine Weapon Arts. Under the guidance of Gu Xuan, the terrifying Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered crazily towards his right hand.
Under the gathering of a large amount of Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, the pain from the impact on the palm was no less than cutting flesh with a knife. However, Gu Xuan did not hesitate. He tempered his palm again and again, treating it like a weapon.
Under Gu Xuan's crazy absorption, the Yuan Qi river below him shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
99% of it was absorbed by Gu Xuan, and Wang Sen only absorbed one percent of it.
Of this 99% Yuan Qi, more than half was channeled into Gu Xuan's palm. Only a small portion of the purest Yuan Qi circulated through his meridians a few times before turning into the power of fire and being channeled into the power of fire.
In the short span of a day, half of the entire Yuan Qi river had been absorbed, and the cyclone in Gu Xuan's body had doubled in size. This was also because he had used the Heavenly Flame as the source. If it was an ordinary person, under the condition that they did not explode and die, they would probably be able to directly rise by three stars.
For the current Gu Xuan, Yun Xi's purifying ability was no longer useful. Apart from increasing the value of the elixirs, it was of little help to Gu Xuan's cultivation. The 51 chakras formed a vortex of flame force, which was like a big furnace that could devour everything.
The surface of Gu Xuan's palm didn't change much after the continuous tempering. It was even softer than before. However, there was some toughness in the softness. Now, Gu Xuan felt that even ordinary swords could be easily kneaded and deformed by this palm.
Another half a day later, the Origin Qi river was also close to drying up. The originally surging vortex completely dissipated, leaving behind only a thin layer. Of course, the Origin Qi contained in this layer of liquid was still terrifying, but it already did not have much effect on Gu Xuan.
Under this vast amount of Yuan Qi, the realm of Ancient Mystic was forcefully pushed to the peak of Xuan Grade One Star.
"Star Picking Hand!"
Gu Xuan bellowed. His right hand suddenly shook. Under the surging of the flame force, it immediately formed a dense pattern.
The Star Picking Hand was created by Gu Xuan in order to complement the Heaven Grade Treasure, the Star Picking Hand. However, the time was too short and Gu Xuan could only make it reach the Human Grade First Class.
Of course, the most important thing was that Gu Xuan's palm could only bear the weight of the Human Grade First Class.
Now that Gu Xuan chose to temper his palm, he also had the intention to improve this martial art further.
As the flame force gradually poured in, the dense pattern on Gu Xuan's palm also increased.
One bolt, two bolts, three bolts … five bolts.
This number was already the limit that Gu Xuan could condense previously.
But now, Gu Xuan felt that this was not his limit. The flame force poured in again and the sixth pattern appeared. Close to it, the seventh pattern was faintly discernible. However, Gu Xuan still failed to condense it and only condensed six patterns.
"Close to seven patterns, the power of the Star Picking Hand can indeed continue to increase!" Gu Xuan's eyes revealed a look of ecstasy.
Every time a pattern was added, the power would increase by a little. If it reached twenty patterns, the power would be comparable to an Earth Grade martial art!
Dispersing the dense pattern with satisfaction, Gu Xuan glanced at Wang Sen. The latter was completely immersed in cultivation. The aura on his body began to fluctuate as if there were signs of a breakthrough.
"Oh?" Gu Xuan was slightly surprised, but he didn't find it strange. Wang Sen was originally at the peak of the Four Stars Profound Grade. After absorbing so much Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, it was natural for him to break through.
Although Wang Sen had fought with him before, the two of them only wanted to pass the test. In fact, there was no enmity between them. Wang Sen even helped him block Yan Hong, which made Gu Xuan have a good impression of him.
Now that Wang Sen broke through, Gu Xuan was naturally happy for him.
Wang Sen suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, "I'm going to break through!"
The flame force in Wang Sen's body fluctuated even more violently. His aura began to slowly increase. Every star in the Profound Grade was no small matter. It wasn't like the Spirit Grade which could be increased instantly.
After four hours, Wang Sen's aura condensed to the peak.
"Wake up!"
At this moment, a shout came from the entrance of the cave. This voice was extremely powerful and clearly used the flame force.
"Pfft!"
Wang Sen was swept by the sound wave. His originally excellent breakthrough opportunity was instantly interrupted. The aura that had increased dissipated and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Wang Sen's eyes spat out flames of anger. He looked at the entrance of the cave and roared weakly, "Who are you? Why did you interrupt my breakthrough!"
At the entrance of the cave, a young man in white robes slowly walked over.
This young man's eyebrows slanted to his temples. His lips were extremely thin and had a somewhat feminine feel. Behind him was Yan Sen.
"Senior Brother Sun, these two are the ones who stole our tokens!" Yan Hong stood to the side and said respectfully. Even someone as arrogant as Yan Hong didn't have the guts to act wantonly in front of Sun Wushuang.
"En, very good. However, is the Yuan Qi River in front of us?" The feminine young man swept a glance in front of him. When he saw the few remaining potholes of the red liquid, he spoke in a somewhat displeased manner.
"This …" Yan Hong was also startled. His voice trembled as he said, "Senior Brother Sun, I have no intention of lying to you. This is clearly an extraordinary Yuan Qi River. Why …"
"Humph!" The feminine young man's expression sunk as he coldly said, "Don't tell me that this Yuan Qi River has been completely absorbed by these two people?"
Yan Hong opened his mouth but was unable to speak. He did not dare to believe that such a turbulent Yuan Qi River would dry up in such a short period of time.
Seeing that the two of them had no intention of paying attention to him, Wang Sen furiously stood up and roared, "Why did you interrupt my breakthrough?"
"Interrupt your breakthrough?" Sun Wushuang glanced at Wang Sen indifferently and sneered, "I only thought that it was a little fun."
"Fun? Do you know how much effort I have put in for this breakthrough! " Wang Sen was unable to contain his anger as he roared wildly. His Xuan rank four star Flame Force was activated. Just as he was about to fight this person to the death, an arm was placed on his shoulder.
Gu Xuan's face also revealed some coldness. He stopped Wang Sen, who had lost his mind, and slowly said, "You are not his match."
