Chapter 861: 70 Percent? 90 Percent? ??

This time, it sounded a lot clearer than before. It was as though it was letting out a scream of contentment and excitement.

Around the altar, the experts who were cultivating were shocked awake as they stared in the direction of the Stellar Cauldron with looks of confusion.

They felt a trace of fear washing over them earlier, but it disappeared as quickly as it arrived. However, they were sure that they weren’t mistaken. After all, at their level, it would be difficult to mistake something like that.

What they wanted to know was the change that happened to Shang Xia!

When they turned to look at him, they discovered that Shang Xia’s body seemed a lot more incorporeal and they couldn’t actually feel his presence.

Their gazes were quickly drawn to the Origin Holy Artifact under him.

It was emitting brilliant rays at the moment and the rust around it was slowly fading.

After absorbing enough world origin, the Origin Holy Artifact was experiencing some sort of transformation! It seemed to be able to restore itself to a certain extent!

Shang Xia couldn’t help but think about his Crimson Soul Tablet. Could it be a treasure at the level of an Origin Holy Artifact?!

However, the thought dissipated the moment it appeared. The Crimson Soul Tablet didn’t seem to be satisfied with the world origin of Azure Worlds. Wouldn’t that mean that the Crimson Soul Tablet was of better quality than the Stellar Cauldron?

Even though many thoughts were running through his mind, he didn’t stop absorbing world origin. With the increase in his cultivation, the absorption of world origin sped up even more.

World origin poured into the Stellar Cauldron in an unstoppable tide. Perhaps it was because the Origin Holy Artifact couldn’t convert it fast enough, or the cauldron didn’t have time to store it, but it started to spill out into the Holy Land.

From the looks of it, the Stellar Cauldron seemed to be overstuffed!

That wasn’t all. The world origin inside the cauldron also seemed to reach a saturation point and Gong Xinlan, who was recovering within, was unable to get used to the environment. She had no choice but to fly out of the cauldron.

Liu Qinglan still remained within, but that was because she was still unconscious. Shang Xia sealed off the space around her, ensuring that she wouldn’t be affected by the sudden change.

The sudden change came as a shock to the members around the cauldron. When Gong Xinlan emerged, they didn’t expect the Tongyou Institution to be hiding another Martial Dipper Realm expert!

Counting Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia, along with the Lightning Bird, would mean that there were 4 experts with combat abilities in the Martial Dipper Realm from the Tongyou Institution!

If they included Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo who were in the Azure Ascension World...

With the fighting strength they had, they could be considered the number 1 Holy Land under the 4 Elysiums!

Of course, Gong Xinlan’s identity was no secret to those of the Azure Ascension World. Many people recognized her and her relationship with the Yuanchen Sect, and they started to wonder if the Tongyou Institution was actually related to them.

Gong Xinlan might not know what they were thinking, but she couldn’t care about it at the moment. With the dense world origin in the cauldron, she completed the refinement of her second fate dipper. Her cultivation also returned to the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm.

Kou Chongxue got her to focus on cultivating in the cauldron back then not just because he wanted her to recover quickly. He was also using her as his hidden trump card.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t remain inside any longer and she showed her face. The hidden trump card was revealed and any sense of surprise was gone.

When she looked at Shang Xia, a deep light flashed in her eyes and she was secretly shocked. It seemed as though there was no need for her to remain as the Tongyou Institution’s trump card...

Dense world origin poured out from the Stellar Cauldron and raised a storm in the Yanlin Holy Land. It even poured out and flooded the city.

The happenings in the Yanlin Holy Land attracted the attention of many experts and Kou Chongxue rushed over the next second.

Staring at Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue asked, “What’s going on?!” The next second, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He clearly felt the change with Shang Xia, but he wasn’t certain.

Shang Xia swept his gaze around him and noticed that everyone was trying to hide their stares from intruding on their conversation. However, there was nothing to worry about as their conversation seemed to be sealed off in the void. No one would be able to hear anything they were saying to each other.

“I completed the refinement of my seventh set of fate dipper essence and all of you experienced what happened next. There were no signs of it before I completed the refinement, and I wasn’t able to prepare myself.” Shang Xia then explained what he experienced earlier.

Falling silent, Kou Chongxue seemed to have guessed the change that happened to Shang Xia. “Do you know that many Martial Dipper Realm experts aren’t able to fully convert their cultivation realm to their actual combat strength even after refining their fate dippers?”

The sudden question caught Shang Xia off guard.

Kou Chognxue glanced at him from the corner of his eye and asked again, “Even though a martial Dipper Realm expert’s cultivation realm is dependent on the number of fate dippers they refined, what do you think has the greatest impact on them?”

Shang Xia thought for a second before replying, “Is it the quality of their fate dippers? Is it related to the resonance they have with each other? Their skills also play a part, including their rank five arts, martial arts, and their weapons...”

Kou Chongxue nodded slowly. “Everything you said is correct. However, there’s another important thing you’re overlooking. That’s their ability to make full use of their fate dippers and display their full strength!”

Seeing the look of contemplation on Shang Xia’s face, Kou Chongxue continued, “Normally, every Martial Dipper Realm expert can use their fate dippers to a certain extent. There is a benchmark we use, and that’s the 70 percent mark. Experts are split into 2 groups. Those who are unable to make use of 70 percent of their fate dippers, and those who are able to go beyond that.”

Shang Xia raised his head to stare at Kou Chongxue in shock, and he saw the complex look in Kou Chongxue’s eyes.

After some time, Shang Xia mumbled, “Which means to say... After refining my seventh set of fate dipper essences, my strength can be said to be comparable to someone in the fifth element of the martial Dipper Realm?!”

Kou Chongxue nodded instinctively, but he quickly recalled something and he shook his head. Forcing a chuckle, he muttered, “Actually, you’re different.”

As for how different he was and where the difference lay, Kou Chongxue didn’t explain, and Shang Xia didn’t ask.

Kou Chongxue knew that ever since Shang Xia entered the Fifth Order of the Primary Realm, he was taking a different path from everyone else. He also knew that the youngster was refining everything at once!

Instead of refining 5 fate dippers, Shang Xia was refining 10 types of fate dipper essences.

That would mean that after his seventh set of fate dipper essences, he should be comparable to someone who refined 7 complete fate dippers, but obviously, the math didn’t work that way.

Even so, how terrifying was that?!

What Shang Xia gained from their entire conversation earlier was the part about how far one would be able to use their fate dippers. After he refined the seventh set, he was able to fully utilize their power because of his way of cultivation of the Five Elements. That placed him in the category of cultivators who were of exceptional quality!

He soon thought of another interesting question and he laughed, “Patriarch Kou, speaking of which, how much of your fate dippers can you use?”

With a grin on his face, Kou Chongxue replied, “I should barely surpass the 90 percent mark.”

“Oh.” Shang Xia wasn’t actually surprised by his answer.
