Chapter 19

~~

"Disperse the twenty-third divine pattern, switch the positions of the thirty-eighth and fortieth divine patterns with the fifty-seventh and sixty-third divine patterns, and adjust these divine patterns upward!"

Under Ye Wei's guidance, Ye Zhong began to sketch the divine patterns in the air. Ye Zhong was almost intimately familiar with the White Tiger Killing Art, and he executed it very skillfully. Moreover, the two brothers had grown up together, sharing a deep understanding, so Ye Wei's slight guidance was enough for Ye Zhong to grasp the essence, making the process very smooth.

"Yes, that's right, take it slowly, don't move too much!" Ye Wei occasionally frowned, trying hard to sense the flow of primordial energy.

Each divine pattern was extremely complex, and the White Tiger Killing Art had 136 divine patterns, far more than the Three Tides Palm, making it much harder to perfect.

That night, the two brothers, Ye Wei and Ye Zhong, worked on perfecting the White Tiger Killing Art, experiencing repeated failures, and Ye Zhong's face became increasingly pale.

The mental and primordial energy consumption was too great!

Ye Zhong's cultivation was only at the Fourth Rank Warrior Realm, and his dantian primordial energy was not sufficient to sustain such consumption!

"Brother, take a break first!"

Ye Wei, looking at Ye Zhong's pale face, sweat-drenched forehead, and trembling muscles, said with some concern. Perfecting the divine art was indeed not an easy task, and after all, it wasn't Ye Wei himself who was operating.

"Okay, just a moment!"

Ye Zhong nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and did not insist. He was indeed struggling to hold on. There was still some primordial energy in his dantian, but his mental energy was almost depleted, making his head feel heavy and increasing the failure rate, making the process twice as hard. He indeed needed a rest.

Ye Zhong then sat cross-legged in the courtyard, silently cultivating the family's ancestral technique, the Falling Star Technique, to recover his primordial energy and mental energy. The Falling Star Technique was a mid-grade Profound Rank technique, considered top-tier in Qingyue City, and it was very effective in restoring primordial energy and mental energy. After two hours, as the eastern sky began to turn a pale white, Ye Zhong opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and stood up.

"Let's continue!"

Ye Zhong's face showed unmistakable fatigue, but he clenched his fists tightly and walked determinedly to Ye Wei.

"Brother, it's almost dawn. Why don't we stop for today? I can come back tonight?" Ye Wei, looking at the exhausted Ye Zhong and the sky, said with some concern.

Spending the whole night perfecting the divine art, physical fatigue was manageable, but mental fatigue was not so easy to recover from. The Falling Star Technique could only restore mental energy, not rejuvenate the spirit. At this point, Ye Zhong needed rest, a good night's sleep!

Ye Zhong would fight Du Han Yue in three days. Although time was tight, with effort, it was still sufficient. Ye Wei had a deep understanding of the flow of primordial energy in the White Tiger Killing Art and did not want his brother to push himself so hard.

"It's fine, I can still hold on!"

"Let's try three more times. If we still fail, we'll continue tonight!" Ye Zhong looked at the fading night and insisted.

"Alright, let's try three more times!" Ye Wei nodded helplessly, understanding his brother's urgent mood.

Failure!

Failure!

The 136 divine patterns dissipated repeatedly, clearly indicating that Ye Wei and Ye Zhong had failed again. They had failed all night, and Ye Wei was already used to it, gaining new insights with each failure.

The last attempt!

If they failed again, they would have to continue in the evening, as Ye Zhong still had to train with his grandfather during the day.

"Last time!" Ye Zhong took a deep breath, the moist, cool air refreshing his lungs, instantly making him more alert.

The summer morning was not too hot, a gentle breeze carrying the fresh scent of earth, invigorating the two brothers who had been working all night and were somewhat fatigued.

"Disperse the twenty-third divine pattern, switch the positions of the thirty-eighth and fortieth divine patterns with the fifty-seventh and sixty-third divine patterns!"

"Add the 103rd divine pattern to the left of the 12th divine pattern!"

Ye Wei stood in front of Ye Zhong, pointing at the shimmering divine patterns, extremely proficient after countless rehearsals. Ye Wei had a thorough understanding of the divine patterns that formed the White Tiger Killing Art.

Ye Zhong's fingers moved rapidly with Ye Wei's instructions, and after a night of failures, their coordination had improved significantly.

Ding Dong!

As Ye Zhong drew the last divine pattern, the 136 divine patterns suddenly emitted a blinding silver light, and a translucent image of a white tiger with a clear mane and a single horn on its forehead materialized.

"Red Flame Unicornered Tiger!" Ye Zhong was slightly startled, his expression filled with awe. This was a very powerful beast!

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

The unicornered white tiger let out a long, thunderous roar, the sound echoing through the clouds, causing the ground to shake violently as if it were about to crack.

In the terrifying roar, Ye Wei's eardrums felt like they were about to burst, and he stumbled back several steps, his blood surging and his face pale, almost falling over. However, his face showed an uncontrollable joy—finally, they had succeeded!

This was the most perfect state of divine pattern combination that Ye Wei could currently sense!

Would the White Tiger Killing Art be comparable to a Spirit Rank forbidden divine art, or would it advance to a Profound Rank divine art?

As Ye Zhong and Ye Wei were immersed in intense shock and joy, a thick white light beam descended from the sky, enveloping Ye Zhong.

Bathed in the vast, majestic white light, Ye Zhong's pale face instantly turned rosy, his pores opening up to accept the cleansing power of the Heavenly Dao. This Heavenly Dao power surged into Ye Zhong's body.

This Heavenly Dao power was much stronger than when Lin Ziyuan perfected the Three Tides Palm divine art! After all, Lin Ziyuan had only perfected a low-rank Spirit Rank divine art, enhancing the Three Tides Palm from low-rank to high-rank Spirit Rank, while Ye Zhong had perfected a high-rank Spirit Rank divine art into a Profound Rank divine art. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao power Ye Zhong received was several times greater than what Lin Ziyuan had experienced.

Ye Zhong could not absorb so much Heavenly Dao power at once, continuously swallowing it, but much of it still escaped.

While Ye Zhong was bathed in the Heavenly Dao power, Ye Wei accidentally came into contact with a thread of it. He immediately absorbed this thread of Heavenly Dao power into his body, and it felt like he was bathing in a hot spring, his pores opening up, and his internal primordial energy surging.

Ye Wei was still only a Second Rank Apprentice, and even a thread of Heavenly Dao power was greatly beneficial to him. Ye Wei felt with joy that the golden light in his red sea of consciousness had become even more intense.
