Chapter 134: Inner Shaped Energy

The Cloud Margin Pavilion King Realm cultivators and the Demon King gold serpentine crocodiles had engaged in a massive battle that ended with no clear victor . In fact, both parties had suffered great losses .

The main reason for that was because the gold serpentine crocodile clan leader wasn't a regular ninth-stage Demon King . Instead, he had reached the very peak of the ninth stage . Thus, he was able to defeat the Black Eagle King and even nearly killed him . If Long Xiaolang and others hadn't gotten involved, the Black Eagle King would have been killed .

Still, the Black Eagle King was worthy of his renown, as during the battle, he managed to break through into the ninth-stage Skysoar Realm . That breakthrough was also one of the reasons he survived .

Although the gold serpentine crocodile clan leader was powerful, there were more King Realm humans than Demon Kings . Thus, the gold serpentine crocodiles were unable to obtain any advantage in the battle . Ultimately, the gold serpentine crocodiles retreated back into the Golden River Valley while the humans were forced to leave and ask for more reinforcements from the Cloud Margin Pavilion .

Not long after, Black Eagle King's personal disciple, Zhang Xiaoyu, could be seen rushing back to the Cloud Margin Pavilion with the Black Eagle King's orders . Zhang Xiaoyu traveled on an extremely fast eagle . From the speed, it was clear the eagle was far more powerful than regular blackwind eagles . A few days later, he returned with more Cloud Margin Pavilion experts .

This time, only three experts had arrived . But these were definitely among the strongest in the Cloud Margin Pavilion . The newly arrived experts appeared old yet imposing . With each step they took, they moved a large distance, almost like they were teleporting instead of walking .

"Greetings, pre-elders," greeted the Black Eagle King, He Luo, and the others deferentially .

The so-called pre-elders were in fact ex-elders of the Cloud Margin Pavilion that had retired a long time ago . It was a pity that none of them had been able to enter the Emperor Realm . Thus, they were unable to extend their life span, causing their outer appearance to gradually turn old .

With the appearance of the Golden River Valley's secret, they were sent here to both deal with the gold serpentine crocodile clan leader and seek for a fortuitous encounter that could help them break through into the next realm .

The leader of the three was Xiao Xin . He said, "At ease . Let's enter directly . "

Xiao Xin was the strongest of the three newcomers . He also specialized in the power of gold . Thus, the secret of Golden River Valley was very attractive to him . But when they returned to the Golden River Valley, they found that a layer of vicious gold aura had formed around the valley .

"These gold serpentine crocodiles are quite smart to release the vicious gold aura . But that won't be able to stop us . " Xiao Xin sneered and dove straight into the valley . The others followed closely behind him . But the moment they actually approached the vicious gold aura, they all turned back in horror .

"W-what kind of vicious gold aura is that? It's so terrifying . Not even our kingly aura can resist it," Xiao Xin said as he wiped some sweat off his head .

"What should we do now? Are we supposed to give up?" Black Eagle King asked in indignation .

"Of course not . Put this place on lockdown . Without the protection of a formation, the vicious gold aura will dissipate before long . We will naturally be able to enter then," said Xiao Xin .

In a sense, he was right . The released energy would disperse naturally without a formation keeping it there . Thus, the Cloud Margin Pavilion members scattered and put the valley on lockdown as they waited for the vicious gold aura to dissipate .

At this time, the Young Lightning King approached Zhang Xiaoyu and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Zhang, a minute of your time . "

Zhang Xiaoyu also smiled . "How can I help you, Senior Brother Zi?"

They were both proud geniuses and rarely spoke to each other . In fact, there was even a slight enmity between the two . But that did not mean they were mortal enemies who had to fight the moment they saw each other .

"You're a straightforward person . This is what I like about you," Zi Poli praised . He then went straight to the point, "I heard you have obtained an amethyst core? I wonder if you can trade it to me? Just let me know what you want for it . "

The amethyst core was a pure concentration of crystalized lightning energy and would be extremely helpful for those cultivating lightning energy .

"I have no reason to reject you, Senior Brother Zi . But this amethyst core is something I have obtained after a lot of effort . If you really want it, sure . . . " Zhang Xiaoyu baited Zi Poli .

"What do you want for it?" Zi Poli asked .

"After the vice pavilion master is done with his breakthrough into the Emperor Realm, I need you to borrow his Myriad Poison Sutra for me," Zhang Xiaoyu said . The very thought of the sutra filled him with excitement .

"Myriad Poison Sutra?" Zi Poli was alarmed .

The Myriad Poison Sutra was one of the precious sutras of the Cloud Margin Pavilion . It was extremely attractive to poison cultivators, was an emperor-grade battle technique, and was one of the Cloud Margin Pavilion's trump cards . Generally, only Emperor Realm experts were qualified to study the sutra .

"Yes . You should be aware that apart from cultivating, my only other hobby is to study poisons . I have been longing for the Myriad Poison Sutra for a very long time . Unfortunately, not even my master is qualified to withdraw it . On top of that, he does not approve of my interest in poisons anyway," Zhang Xiaoyu said longingly .

"I really can't guarantee I can get that sutra for you either . " Zi Poli shook his head .

"Only talk to me when you are sure you can get it, then," said Zhang Xiaoyu .

. . .

In the blink of an eye, one month passed . Underneath the Golden River Valley, Xiang Shaoyun was no longer lifting that large boulder . Instead, he was currently cultivating his inner shaped energy . After spending half a month training his physical strength, he was able to consolidate and stabilize his physical strength, allowing him to better control his new strength .

There were two types of shaped energy, respectively outer shaped energy and inner shaped energy . Outer shaped energy would form around a person's skin while inner shaped energy would fill every inch within a person's body .

Currently, Xiang Shaoyun was circulating his Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual and pulling strains of pure energy from his stars toward his meridians, organs, bones, and so on . By the time energy filled his entire body, he started trying to transform the energy into shaped energy .

His 365 acupoints started blinking, forming a connection with his stars that caused the strains of pure energy to become more and more solid . After a while, a thin layer of shaped energy finally formed within his body, protecting all his organs .

This was the so-called inner energy phase . Generally speaking, to form the inner shaped energy, one had to first reach the fourth or fifth stage of Transformation Realm . But Xiang Shaoyun was a genius in cultivation . Thus, he accomplished the feat as a second-stage Transformation Realm cultivator .

The shaped energy helped improve his defense, reducing the amount of damage his body would sustain when attacked . Generally, only those with a higher cultivation level would be able to harm a person with shaped energy .

Done with his cultivation, Xiang Shaoyun stretched and smiled . "With my current combat power, I won't lose to any mid-stage Transformation Realm cultivators . In fact, I even stand a chance against late-stage Transformation Realm cultivators . Finally, I am no longer as helpless as I was before . "

It was at this moment that there was finally a reaction from Little White .

"Roar!"

A furious roar rang out, echoing in the space repeatedly . The golden cocoon around Little White withered .
