Bai Yun stood up and slowly walked around. Bai Yun was thinking about his next move.

Bai Yun had always thought that the reason he took such a long time to reach the titled god realm was because he had lacked life experience. Bai Yun had spent almost the entirety of his life either training or fighting. When comparing his life to that of his compatriots, Bai Yun had always thought that his life was a little too bleak.

Bai Yun had heard many of them speak of their experiences during their path. What Bai Yun had found was that many people who had experienced many things had gone much further in their paths that their talents or births should have allowed them to. And there were a lot more ordinary people who had become gods than disciples of superpowers. All of this made Bai Yun think that rather than talent, the path one walked in their life was more important.

Of course, Bai Yun knew that most people who walked this path ended up dying. But the ones who survived went further than they could ever hope. And Bai Yun had enough confidence in his abilities to survive anything that the world might throw at him.

If Bai Yun only wanted to reach the level he had reached in his previous life, Bai Yun was sure that he could do that easily. But after his reincarnation and seeing the might of the devil emperor, a hidden desire had appeared in Bai Yun's heart.

A desire to go further than his previous life. To go beyond even the devil emperor. To reach heights he could not imagine previously.

And Bai Yun had an instinctive feeling that if he followed his current path of a sheltered life under the protection of the Bai clan, he would be unable to do so.

This feeling was further strengthened when he met the God of Alchemy. The God of Alchemy did not care about his training methods. He was more interested in his experience and emotions. All of this further strengthened his hypothesis that maybe it was the most important element in cultivation. It simply hadn't mattered in his past life due to his absurd talent. But if he wanted to go further than he ever knew, then both were indispensable.

And Bai Yun knew that in order to experience the vicissitudes of life he would have to leave the Bai clan. Even though he had experienced much in the clan, none of those had truly moved his heart. The only exception when he nearly died in the false world formation. So Bai Yun knew that he had to leave the clan to experience life.

And Bai Yun's plan was to go on a journey for a couple of years to gain experience.

And the biggest obstacle to this wasn't the difficulty of the journey.

Nope.

The biggest obstacle to this would be his mother.

Bai Yun slowly thought about various plans he could implement to get permission from his parents in order to go on the journey. He wasn't stupid enough to think that he could escape under the watch of a dao step cultivator with his meager cultivation. So the only way was to make sure that he had their permission.


But no matter how hard the thought about this, he could not find a way to ensure that he could leave successfully. Bai Yun had been thinking about this problem since his reincarnation, but he still did not have a successful solution.

But the basis for all of this was strength. If he was strong enough, he could easily escape and also gain permission to journey wherever he wanted.

Thinking of this Bai Yun suddenly froze. His soul path had just broken through and he couldn't improve it in a short while. Bai Yun was hoping for a natural breakthrough in his qi path, and did not want to forcibly make a breakthrough. If he did so, it might cause his foundation to be unstable.

But Bai Yun was at a critical point in his body cultivation path. Bai Yun had currently reached the nine skin sewing pattern realm. Bai Yun was only a single skin sewing away from reaching the peak of skin sewing.

Realizing this Bai Yun quickly sat down. The cultivation technique Bai Yun was following was the undying body of the God of Battle. In the Undying Body, the first nine skin sewing patterns were nothing special. But the tenth one was different. Different from all other patterns, the tenth pattern was used to tie together the first nine patterns to create the perfect single pattern. Thus it was much harder to create compared to the first nine. It was because of this that Bai Yun hadn't tried to create it until now.

The tenth pattern required a truly massive amount of energy compared to the previous nine. And this was true even considering the fact that the patterns for the undying body required much more energy than any other body cultivation. Thus the God of Battle created a medicinal pill that would have enough energy in it to complete the tenth skin sewing pattern. And Bai Yun had also gained this pill formula from the God of Alchemy.

Bai Yun's initial plan to try and concoct this pill. Even though he would fail many times, Bai Yun was certain that he would eventually be able to make the pill.

But his thought changed when he finally got the God of Alchemies legacy. After studying the alchemy legacy, Bai Yun's alchemy skills had improved by a whole lot. Now he could easily create that pill.

But the God of Battle was not a true alchemist after all. The pill that he made had many defects. Bai Yun found a pill that was much better for the tenth skin sewing in the God of Alchemy's legacy. Originally this pill was supposed to be used during the muscle tempering portion of body cultivation, but due to the overwhelming power of the Undying Body, it could barely be enough for the tenth skin pattern.

Bai Yun already had all the necessary ingredients for the pill. This was just a pill that the God of Alchemy created in his spare time after he reached the tilted god level. Thus even though it was a very powerful pill, it had no name. Bai Yun decided to call it the little body tempering pill. This was because Bai Yun knew that this pill was the simplified version of a far more powerful pill called the true body tempering pill.

Bai Yun slowly pulled out the ingredients for the pill. Even though the pill was very powerful, the ingredients for the pill were very common. Bai Yun had already gotten all of them from his mother. She had given him nearly a small warehouse full of ingredients in order to make sure that Bai Yun would stay at home and focus on Alchemy.

But the problem with this pill was the sheer number of ingredients. This pill required thirty three different ingredients. Until now even the most complicated pill Bai Yun had made only used eight ingredients. If Bai Yun hadn't gotten both the hundred beast flame as well as the alchemy legacy Bai Yun would never have even dreamed of making this. Even now, Bai Yun wasn't sure of his success.

But he had more than enough materials to fail a few times. So he sat down and started to work.

Bai Yun slowly heated up the cauldron he had. Bai Yun had already asked his father for a very powerful but simple looking cauldron. Bai Yun figured that if he journeyed with a valuable looking cauldron, it would only be a matter of time before he was killed for it. Thus the cauldron looked very plain. Bai Yun had also used expertise in blacksmithing to further make it look weak and broken.

Bai Yun then took out one portion of the ingredients for the little body tempering pill. Bai Yun waited until the cauldron was warm enough and then he put the first ingredient in the cauldron. Putting the ingredients one at a time would lower the efficiency of the pill, but if he put it all in at the same time, it would increase the difficulty of the pill and Bai Yun wasn't certain if he could successfully make the pill that way.

Once he did so, a small wisp of the hundred beast flame appeared in Bai Yun's palm. It then slowly entered the cauldron. Slowly the medical ingredient was refined.

Once this was done, Bai Yun carefully put in the second ingredient. Slowly he refined the medicinal ingredients one by one. Finally, with unprecedented concentration, Bai Yun combined the various ingredients.

When Bai Yun opened the cauldron. A small red pill was sitting at the bottom of it. Bai Yun was surprised that he had succeeded in his first try. This meant that he would not have to waste a lot of time studying alchemy. Just mastering more of the legacy would be enough to improve his skill.

Compare to the first pill he had formed months ago, it was a difference like heaven and earth. Bai Yun slowly took it out and studied it. Even though it had no circles showing that it was not a superior quality pill, it also did not have a lot of impurities. It was barely enough to form the tenth skin sewing pattern.

Bai Yun then took a deep breath and put the pill back into the cauldron. He was completely tired. He did not even have the energy to swing a sword. It was better to wait until he had recovered.

When Bai Yun woke up the next morning, Bai Yun quickly took a bath to wash off the sweat from yesterday. After this Bai Yun took a large tub of cold water and slowly submerged himself up to his neck. The little body tempering pill would create a lot of heat while under operation, thus the need for the tub of water.

Bai Yun took a deep breath and then put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it. The moment it reached his stomach, the pill started to dissolve. A very pure life energy, necessary for the cultivation of the body path, started to seep out of the pill. Along with this, a heat started to spread all over Bai Yun's body.

Bai Yun slowly extracted a single thread of the life energy, making sure that any excess life energy would be trapped inside his body with his god devil sense.

Slowly the thread of life energy got to work. Following the methods of the Undying body, Bai Yun slowly threaded the life energy all over his body. One by one the various skin sewing patterns started to link up. Along with that, a severe pain started to spread all over his body. But this level of pain was nothing to Ba Yun and he continued the process.

Hours passed by quickly. The water in the tub started to boil from the heat of the pill. Bai Yun would use his soul tendrils to add more water when the level fell too low. Slowly the water took of a dark red hue due to the impurities discharged from the little body tempering pill.

Finally, when the sun started to set, Bai Yun finished the last thread of the tenth skin sewing pattern. With this, he had reached the completion of skin sewing.

The next Bai Yun's skin started to glow golden for a moment. And then pieces of it started to fall down flake by flake. Bai Yun had never heard of skin being felled by reaching the completion of skin sewing. But the Undying Body was different from all other cultivation techniques.

One by one seven full layers of skin fell off of Bia Yun's body. Once this was done Bai Yun stepped off the tub. The tub was now deep red with impurities and some blood as well as skin. Bai Yun quickly emptied the tub and then stood in front of the mirror.

Bai Yun slowly studied his new skin. The scars he had accumulated had all disappeared. Bai Yun's new skin was softer and tougher than ever before. Bai Yun took a small dagger, and slowly cut his skin. But it not even leave a scratch.

Bai Yun could feel the terrifying strength now hidden in his body. All along, Bai Yun's body tempering had been much much weaker than his qi cultivation path. But in one fell swoop, it had far surpassed the later, to become Bai Yun's greatest strength.

Bai Yun quickly put on his clothes and headed out.

It was time for a difficult talk.
