Darryl was stunned, and he was looking at Emperor Aurelias blankly while an inexplicable ecstasy rose in his heart. From the name alone, he could tell that the cultivation method was going to be awesome.
Emperor Aurelias instantly guessed what Darryl was thinking from his expression. He smiled and said, "The Nine Heavens Holy Profound Art was passed to my junior brother and me from the Ancient Ancestor. It will give you immense power, so you have to wield it carefully after you've learned it, understand?"
"I understand!" Darryl nodded excitedly.
He thought he could only wait for death once trapped in the Immortal Tomb, so he was pleasantly surprised to have the chance to become Emperor Aurelias' disciple. It was like finding light at the end of a tunnel, and everything felt so surreal to him.
"It's too early to celebrate," Emperor Aurelias said seriously. "Not everyone gets to learn the Nine Heavens Holy Profound Art. Even though you have a fairy soul, your physique is not strong enough. You need the Five Elements Tempered Body to do it. Then, you will have the body of a Saint God to cultivate the Nine Heavens Holy Profound Art."
Darryl was stunned. "What is the Five Elements Tempered Body?" he asked.
"The Five Elements Tempered Body is to temper your physique through the power of the five elements," Emperor Aurelias answered thoughtfully.
Darryl nodded and said eagerly, "Let's do it!"
Seeing his expression, Emperor Aurelias smiled and said, "You have to prepare yourself mentally. Tempering your body with the five elements won't be a walk in the park. You'll have to endure unimaginable pain."
'It's cold as f*ck!' His whole body felt frozen. It was bearable initially, but as time passed, it came colder and colder. The endless cold invaded his body, and he started screaming from the pain as he urged his fairy soul to neutralize the cold.
However, he heard Emperor Aurelias yelling. "Don't activate your power to neutralize it. Otherwise, the body tempering will fail. The only thing you can do is to endure it!"
Darryl immediately stopped urging his fairy soul. He gritted his teeth and continued to endure the cold. The seconds ticked by slowly, and the five elements tempering finally ended after some time. Darryl was soaked in a cold sweat. His face was pale, and he looked indescribably miserable. It was as if he had just come back from the very depths of hell.
"Well done!" Emperor Aurelias looked at him with deep admiration. "It seems like you are really extraordinary to be able to pass through the five elements so smoothly. Now I will teach you the Nine Heavens Holy Profound Art. You must put away all distracting thoughts and concentrate on comprehending them."
