Xia Liu was also quite helpless; he originally thought it would be very simple to transform from Holy Energy to Holy Power.

But the result was completely unexpected.

He still has a long way to go.

"Hm, you indeed need to make a trip to the Great Brahma Gate, otherwise you might never be able to transform Holy Energy into Holy Power."

"Elder Bai, what does this mean?"

Xia Liu was stunned. Doesn't this mean that he must go to the Great Brahma Gate?

"When I was in the Central Continent, I once used a certain movement technique to go to the Great Brahma Gate, and thereby learned some mystical secrets of the Great Brahma Gate."

Initially, Bai Jue had completely forgotten about this matter.

But Xia Liu's recent retreat brought back his memories.

"The reason the Great Brahma Gate stands firm is because it is the nemesis of demons, a pillar of the Righteous Path."

"Elder Bai, just get to the point. What exactly are the mystical secrets of the Great Brahma Gate?"

Xia Liu eagerly said.

"At that time, I vaguely heard the Sect Leader of the Great Brahma Gate say that Holy Energy and Holy Power are two completely different essences, so to obtain Holy Power, one must go through the Creation Gate."

Bai Jue explained.

"The Creation Gate?"

"Exactly! The Creation Gate is a legacy from ancient times, said to allow a cultivator possessing Holy Energy to enter and change their constitution, thereby transforming Holy Power!"

Bai Jue suddenly thought of something.

Then he swiftly reminded Xia Liu, "Xia Liu, I need to tell you something important. Due to the unique nature of Holy Energy, even at the Great Brahma Gate, very few disciples have Holy Energy."

"Why is this?"

Xia Liu was puzzled.

"I don't know the mystical secrets involved; it may be because it's difficult to cultivate, or perhaps due to lack of opportunity."

Bai Jue couldn't provide an answer; there were simply too many possibilities.

"If I possess White Lotus Holy Aura, won't the Great Brahma Gate regard me as an outsider?"

"That's unclear. In any case, the Creation Gate is your path to transforming Holy Power; you should try if you get the chance."

When Xia Liu reaches the Southern Realm, he will at least have Golden Core Stage Cultivation.

In his current state, Golden Core Stage Cultivation should be comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage.

By then, even if it's the Great Brahma Gate, why not have a go!

Moreover, there's himself, a former powerhouse of the Central Continent!

The Great Brahma Gate in the Southern Realm is worth a visit!

"Hehe, let's talk about it later. For now, it's still about finding the Thunder Region and the opportunity for Core Formation."

Xia Liu was quite optimistic about it.

The matter of the White Lotus Holy Aura can wait a bit; first, he needs to enhance his cultivation level.

If he reaches the Divinity Transformation Stage, he will be among the top even if he goes to the Central Continent!

"The Thunder Region might be in the Secret Realm's Central Region; getting there might not be suitable for the three young ones outside to go along."

"Hm, I've considered that. Once they have gained enough, I'll suggest they leave first."

"That's not really your style."

Bai Jue thought about it and, given the karma path Xia Liu follows,

he shouldn't let Ye Fei leave just like that.

"Haha, Elder Bai understands me."

Xia Liu laughed heartily and then sent a thought, "Elder Bai, this Extreme Cold Poison Finger is of little help to me now. Can you make it to give to Ye Fei as a Life-Saving Talisman?"

He had had this thought for a long time.

After all, carrying Extreme Cold Poison on his hand was like having a time bomb.

Moreover, he had to spend Spiritual Power every day to keep it under control.

Xia Liu wasn't afraid; he just worried it might suddenly get out of control and explode while fighting a Golden Core Stage cultivator, and he would certainly be the one at a loss.

"It's possible, but it's troublesome, and it would consume a lot of your mind and spirit."

Being a former top strong fighter of the Divinity Transformation Stage, Bai Jue knew too many things.

Some of what he considered kid's play were seen as treasures by those at the Golden Core Stage and even at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Existences as awesomely terrifying as this.

Just as something he was about to teach Xia Liu.

"You need to prepare a Spirit Stone, then draw the Cold Poison into the stone, using the Seal Technique I taught you. It should be fine for two or three months." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Elder Bai! You are simply divine! What's this magic?"

"It's something I stumbled upon accidentally, and it doesn't really have a name."

Bai Jue said proudly.

"Can this method hold more Spirit Arts, like Spirit Spheres or something?"

Xia Liu continued to ask.

"Spirit Spheres are so complex, and the time Spirit Arts can be preserved is very short. How can it compare to my magic? It can store your Cold Poison with a Spirit Stone—what's Spirit Art compared to that?"

"How about storing my Taiqing Selfless Slash or Thousand Threads and Myriad Strands Sword Qi?"

"Scram! Is that Spirit Art? That's a near-divine Peerless Technique in swordsmanship. Do not bother me with it, or you'll drive me mad!"

Bai Jue suddenly lost his cool.

He was convinced Xia Liu was just teasing him.

Even a Golden Core Stage cultivator couldn't withstand the power of the Taiqing Sword, and he was dreaming a simple magic and Spirit Stone could handle it?

...

Xia Liu shrugged helplessly.

At this moment, he could only smile bitterly.

After adjusting, he took out a Supreme Grade Spirit Stone.

Following Bai Jue's method, he cast a spell onto the Spirit Stone, then slowly expelled a bit of Extreme Cold Poison from within his pinky finger.

Once done, the Spirit Stone became extremely cold, and its color changed.

Cold air seeped out from within.

"Judging by the evaporation rate of the cold air, this Spirit Stone will disintegrate and turn into powder in two or three months, the Cold Poison within fading completely."

In two or three months, Xia Liu believed Ye Fei would have completely left the Extreme Cold Secret Realm.

After putting away the Spirit Stone, Xia Liu continued to meditate.

A few Ancient Hours later, Xia Liu's Divine Sense surged, and the Flowing Fire Sword vanished on the spot.

With both feet on the ground, Xia Liu walked out of the inner chamber.

"Brother Xia has come out of seclusion!"

"Daoist Fellow Xia!"

Quanyu was the first to react.

She, like a little girl, kept watching the inner chamber where Xia Liu was.

Upon seeing Xia Liu come out of seclusion,

she felt Xia Liu seemed somewhat different.

Sadly, she couldn't tell where the difference lay.

"Daoist Fellow Xia seems to have a hint of celestial aura around him; it seems this seclusion was quite fruitful!"

Ye Fei exclaimed.

"Cough cough, Daoist Fellow Ye jokes, I am just an ordinary cultivator, how can there be talk of celestial aura."

"Daoist Fellow Xia, truly! I felt it too, you have a very pure and unique aura, just like... just like that Snow Lotus, making those around feel spiritually refreshed!"

Yifu echoed Ye Fei's praise.

"Oh? Does Senior Sister Yifu think so too?"

Xia Liu asked with a half-smile.

Yifu quickly nodded.

She was exaggerating her feelings deliberately.

Just to make Xia Liu happy.

"This girl seems truly afraid of you, saying something so insincere..."

Bai Jue was almost fooled by Yifu.

He used absolute Soul Power to inspect Xia Liu from the outside.

The truth was entirely unlike what Yifu described.

Because Xia Liu had just enhanced his Holy Energy, his control of it wasn't very polished.

But it was far from substantial overflow, merely a trivial amount.

"Hehe, all this is not important. What's important is that the fellows need to leave the Extreme Cold Secret Realm soon..."
