In the blink of an eye, four or five days passed, and so of the people searching for various treasures in the underground palace had gradually started to leave!
The underground palace is vast, but with so many people and so much ti, the places needing exploration have mostly been covered!
Of course, those who left first were smaller and mid-sized forces. For them, even a slight gain made the trip worthwhile!
At this mont, a few people from the Lishan Sect were also planning to leave. Afterward, the Old Master Li hadn't encountered Su Chen again; they assud Su Chen might have already left.
Thinking that way, the Old Master Li and the others believed Su Chen's current strength shouldn't pose any issues, so they didn't ponder much and decided to leave!
Two or three days later, more forces began to depart from the underground palace.
At this ti, Chu Xiong and the Wuji Sect mbers had also arrived outside the underground palace. Just as they erged, a waiting middle-aged man imdiately approached!
"How's it going?"
Chu Xiong asked in a deep voice.
"Sect Leader, so far, there's no sign of that kid coming out!"
The middle-aged man quickly reported.
"Are you certain?"
Chu Xiong cast a glance at the middle-aged man.
"Certain, I've been watching here the whole ti, and haven't seen that youngster."
The middle-aged man affird.
"That's good!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiong's eyes instantly glead with a fiery light:
"We'll wait for him here. This ti, I want to kill that little brat with my own hands!"
In fact, not long after entering the underground palace, Chu Xiong had heard that the young man who killed his son was also in the underground palace!
Upon receiving this news, Chu Xiong was genuinely delighted; he hadn't expected that young man would still dare to enter the underground palace!
Given the circumstances, Chu Xiong decided to ensure that the fellow who killed his son and several Wuji Sect masters would never leave!
It was quite a coincidence that Chu Xiong learned about Su Chen. Although those young individuals entering the underground palace were elites from top forces, they disdained following behind Chu Yuntian.
Still, several talented young disciples happened to pass by, noticed the situation, and naturally had seen Su Chen!
In this way, Chu Xiong knowing this information wasn't surprising!
He imdiately ordered soone to keep watch outside while he continued the treasure hunt inside alongside a few others, ready to be notified if the young man erged!
At this mont, Su Chen had already beco a thorn in the heart of Chu Xiong, the Wuji Sect Leader!
Chu Xiong might've exited beforehand largely because of that young man!
If it weren't for this issue, he could have searched around a bit longer!
.......
At this ti, Su Chen was unaware of this situation because he was still unconscious!
In the blink of an eye, another one or two days passed, and Su Chen slowly began to awaken, his eyes gradually opening!
As soon as he woke up, the scenes before he passed out flooded back into his mind; the flas' temperature had far exceeded his tolerance, and he thought he was dood!
So the first thought that popped into his mind was:
"I'm alive!"
He slowly stood up, looking at the empty surroundings, he couldn't help but think:
"Where's the fire? Why isn't it here?"
He rembered that it was a sea of fire here previously!
Was it a dream earlier?
No, that definitely wasn't a dream!
Su Chen quickly dismissed this idea!
At this mont, he instinctively checked his body, discovering that his skin now felt noticeably better; the scars crisscrossing before vanished, leaving a smooth surface!
He then sensed his body, and this sensation instantly astonished him!
He found he had reached the First Layer of the Calm Spirit Body Technique and even made progress towards the Second Layer!
Moreover, his body strength was incomparable to before, entirely on a different level!
Previously, he could mostly ignore any attacks from the Kaiyuan mid to late stages!
Of course, generally speaking, even Kaiyuan Late Stage couldn't substantially harm his body!
But now, according to the Calm Spirit Body Technique description, after entering the First Layer, those within the Condensation Pill Realm wouldn't easily affect him!
Bear in mind, he hadn't rely entered the First Layer, so he presud, even against stronger martial artists, he could defend using physical strength alone!
Realizing this, Su Chen imdiately felt incredibly excited!
This massively enhanced his overall strength, almost amounting to a qualitative change, as defensive power is a crucial part of comprehensive strength!
But after feeling excited for a while, he started to wonder what had transpired during his unconsciousness?
Soon he thought of Zi i. Zi i had already awakened previously, so he quickly called:
"Zi i, Zi i!"
"Alright, I know what you're going to ask."
Zi i's voice promptly echoed in his mind; without Su Chen having to ask, Zi i explained the general sequence of events to him!
After hearing Zi i's words, Su Chen froze like a dumbfounded idiot, standing there blankly!
What Zi i described seed as mythical and unbelievable as a fairy tale to him!
Especially when she said the Fire Spirit entered his body, he was sowhat incredulous!
However, he knew Zi i had no reason to deceive him, which ant Zi i's words must be true!
"Zi i, what is a Fire Spirit?"
Su Chen curiously inquired.
"Spirit Fires have sentience, to be exact, the energy contained within Spirit Fires possesses sentience. When energies with such sentience accumulate over ages, a Fire Spirit may form!"
Zi i explained to him.
"Zi i, according to you, a Fire Spirit seems quite rare?"
Su Chen queried again; after listening to Zi i's explanation, he sowhat understood the reasoning!
"What do you think?"
Zi i replied irritably, feeling like this kid was showing off!
Su Chen hearing Zi i's words didn't get angry; instead, he chuckled foolishly!
Originally, he wanted to use the Spirit Fire for Body Refinent, and ideally, gather a bit of Spirit Fire for his use!
Never expecting, the Fire Spirit ended up within him!
According to Zi i, the Fire Spirit might have chosen him as its master!
He couldn't help but think:
"Looks like my charm is indeed extraordinary; otherwise, how would such an imnse blessing befall !"
Luckily Zi i wasn't aware of his shaless thoughts; otherwise, she'd undoubtedly look down upon him intensely...
