1914 First Beat Them Into Submission, Then Use Virtue to Conquer Them!

The path of cultivation was a sea of bitterness, and the physical body was the boat to cross to the other shore. The stronger the physical body, the greater the possibility of reaching the other shore. The body was the foundation of all cultivation. Whether it was martial arts or divine arts, without exception, the body was the foundation.

Therefore, even martial artists who mainly focused on divine power cultivation would not ignore the role of the physical body. Every breakthrough in cultivation was like a leap in the level of life. However, there was no doubt that it was very difficult.

This was because it involved the transformation of the source of life. However, this Divine Flame Fruit was different. It could expel the impurities in the human body.

At Chu Yunfan's cultivation level, the impurities in his body were very few. It could be said that they were almost negligible, but this made it even more difficult to eliminate them. If he wanted to eliminate them by normal means, he would need to cultivate for a long time. But with the Divine Flame Fruit, everything would be fast.

The less impurities in the body, the purer it was, and the higher the level of the body's energy, the easier it would be for him to break through, and the more powerful his cultivation would be. Just this effect alone was priceless. This Divine Flame Fruit could save him at least a few years or even ten years of secluded cultivation.

On top of that, he would be able to produce fire-type divine abilties. To others, it might just be an additional ability, but to Chu Yunfan, who had fused with a part of the Immemorial Dark Phoenix's life essence, it was extremely compatible.

After swallowing this Divine Flame Fruit, his affinity with fire would increase further. It allow him to display lightning and fire divine abilities. It was equivalent to adding another top physique. At that time, with three top physiques, the Imperial Physique, the Thunderclap Physique, and the Immemorial Dark Phoenix Physique, Chu Yunfan's strength would have a world-shaking change. The benefits it provided to him were simply unimaginable.

The path of cultivation was about talent. Physical talent was also talent. Some people were very weak and short. These people might not be able to compare to experts who were two meters tall and had cultivated for several months.

The stronger one's talent, the smoother one's cultivation path would be. This was like watching the heavens reward them with food. Now, Chu Yunfan had gained another top-notch talent, which was equivalent to the benefits of reincarnating.

The environment in which the Divine Flame Fruit was born was very harsh. Only in extremely hot places with boiling spirit energy could this fruit grow. Moreover, it would take at least a thousand years for it to mature.

This was a previous item that the Li clan had painstakingly found for Li Qianyuan. If it was used by Li Qianyuan, at least several years of hard work would be saved. He himself was already far ahead of many geniuses on the prodigy list. With the help of the Divine Flame Fruit, others would not be able to catch up. This was a whole scheme to help Li Qianyuan reach the top in a short time. Unfortunately, it was interrupted by Chu Yunfan.

Chu Yunfan could guess that why Li Qianyuan didn't consume the fruit now was that he planned to wait until he reached the peak of the Creation Stage and then take it to eliminate the remaining impurities in his body and complete the transformation of his life essence. At that time, wanting to break through to the next realm would be at least ten times easier and the probability of breaking through and the time required would be greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, even Chu Yunfan couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. A behemoth like the Li clan was indeed much more powerful than ordinary people when it came to helping a person break through.

Even if the two of them had similar talents, one was a itinerant cultivator and the other was a direct descendent of a large faction. The speed of cultivation and the final achievements of the two sides might be heaven and earth.

For those itinerant cultivators, in order to obtain a suitable medicinal herb and find a suitable martial art inheritance, they would need to travel through mountains and rivers for several years.

However, for the descendants of the aristocratic families, someone had already prepared these for them. They could use them directly when they reached the proper stage. That was why their cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds in a short time.

Their speed was not something that ordinary geniuses could compare to, because an entire faction's resources was used to feed this genius. When this prodigy rose to prominence, he would continue to lead the clan. The long-term prosperity of the faction was a mutually dependent relationship.

"Heh heh, the Li clan is so thoughtful. They know that I'm lacking the Divine Flame Fruit, so they sent it over to me!" Chu Yunfan grinned.

In the blink of an eye, he reached out and shattered the barrier around the fruit. He then grabbed it and put it into the Mountain River Diagram.

"Y-You're evil!. You're really going to take it?" Zhang Hao's voice was trembling, and he was on the verge of tears.

He had betrayed Li Qianyuan to save his life, but now it seemed that his life was out of danger. Almost immediately, his fear of Li Qianyuan flooded his mind. He thought about how furious Li Qianyuan would be when he came back and saw this scene.

"When Qianyuan gets back, he'll be furious. At that time, you'll be completely at loggerheads with the Li clan. If you leave the Divine Flame Fruit behind, at least there will be a chance for the Li clan to ease up on you," Zhang Hao said in a trembling voice.

At this moment, he was already extremely regretful. Why did he have to act so cool? If he hadn't come out to make his presence known, he wouldn't have been forced to this point. He knew that his cousin Li Qianyuan valued the Divine Flame Fruit, which was related to the crucial step for him to break through to a higher stage than the Creation Stage. Now that he had lost it, the consequences were extremely terrifying.

"So what if he gets back? Do you think I'm afraid of him? I can kill him in a one-on-one fight." Chu Yunfan grinned.

If it weren't for Li Qianyuan's protectors, Chu Yunfan would have beaten him to death. Sooner or later, the two sides would have to fight, and this battle would determine life and death. So what if they offended Li Qianyuan at this time?

There was no doubt that Li Qianyuan's loss was Chu Yunfan's gain.

"You've done well. I told you long ago that I've always convinced people with virtue. If you had handed over the thing earlier, wouldn't I have stopped killing earlier?" Chu Yunfan patted Zhang Hao's shoulder and sighed. He had an expression that said, "I'm a good person, but you don't understand me."

Everyone in the Li clan wanted to cough up mouthfuls of blood. Was this what it meant to win people over with virtue?

Chu Yunfan thought for a moment. This was indeed convincing people with virtue. He had always beaten others into submission first, and then convinced them with virtue. There was nothing wrong with this train of thought.

These people were all moved by his moral character and took the initiative to tell him the location of the secret vault.
