Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly the red lightning beca fierce, sotis even striking the high plains and buildings.
"This is strange; why did it suddenly beco violent?"
The cultivators of the southern province thought with a frown.
However, it didn’t take too long, and they discovered the reason.
"Look! The western region! The western region also had vision, and there is red lightning too! Maybe this is the reason why it suddenly beca violent!"
"Yeah, maybe, but why did such a thing happen there now? Is the Mu family trying to do sothing, or is it related to the appearance of this vision?"
The high-level cultivators beca puzzled after discovering the change. Although they knew the Mu family had a fire crystal, they didn’t know it was only half of it. Hence many of them beca confused and wondered if they were jealous or if there was one kind of secret behind this.
…
"Why is the Mu family in a hurry?" Su Qiming frowned as he gazed at the western province.
He knew they had a fire elental crystal, moreover a high-level one. However, the chances of the death were too high; hence, they didn’t let any of their geniuses consu this.
But now they clearly didn’t care about the death and most likely were letting soone consu the crystal.
"Is it because they want another fire crystal, or is there sothing else?" Su Qiming muttered with a profound look.
Once soone fused with the fire crystal, they could do it again with the sa elent crystal and raise their ability further. Of course, by doing this, the chances of dying would increase, so no one would try this.
He didn’t think the Mu family would do this either. As for jealousy, it might be the reason; however, they wouldn’t be an idiot and let their genius die for such a thing.
Then the only third reason remained. There might be so secret or purpose.
"The Mu family had paid a heavy price to keep the crystal; the chances of having hidden secrets are higher," he concluded.
…
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The fire crystal inside Ye Chen’s dantian trembled violently with glaring light as it tried to turn him into ash.
However, no matter how hard it tried, the golden spiritual root suppressed it and started to drill its branches into the crystal.
Ye Chen, who was keeping an eye on it, beca stunned. However, he didn’t let his guard down and prepared to expel the fire crystal at any mont.
He had thought of fusing with the fire crystal with the help of his cultivator technique, but looking at the current occurrence, it didn’t look like he would need to do anything.
Crack!
At this mont the spiritual root finally drilled inside the fire crystal and started to tremble with excitent.
anwhile, the fire crystal seems to be angered and started to emit a red hue, which quickly filled Ye Chen’s dantian and soon started to spread through his ridians before covering his whole body.
This red hue looked harmless, but it had a high temperature and started to burn Ye Chen’s clothes as well as the floor beneath him.
Li i, Lan Ming, and Zhen Yunqi’s expressions changed after witnessing this; if not for the fact they could see Ye Chen resisting the red hue with his ice fla, they would’ve already rushed to save him.
"Sect master, is it really fine to go on like this? Why don’t we stop Brother Chen?" Lan Ming suggested with a worried expression.
She still didn’t know Ye Chen was a spiritual mountain; if not for the fact he was confident in fusing with the fire crystal, she would’ve already stopped him.
"Sister Lan Ming, don’t worry; nothing will happen to senior brother," Li i assured her; however, the worry in her eyes said otherwise.
Watching them like this, Zhen Yunqi sighed faintly.
"He is fine, and from the looks of it, there is sothing else that is protecting him from inside," she explained as she cast a deep look at him.
The ice fla was, after all, just an earth-grade fla. It was fine if it could handle Crystal when it’s not active; however, when it is active, there is no way it can stop it.
So why was the ice fla held back now? It was because the spiritual root was devouring the red hue greedily, making it weak.
Although Zhen Yunqi didn’t know this, she guessed there was sothing protecting him.
Hearing her, both Li i and Lan Ming beca relieved. Especially after watching Ye Chen still unhard, they knew there was no problem.
However, their cheeks couldn’t help but flush red as Ye Chen’s clothes were burned once again. Nevertheless, with the red hue blocking most of the view, they could only catch a glimpse of his body for a second.
’It’s finally transforming,’ Ye Chen muttered in his heart as he saw the spiritual root’s branches shining with faint red light. There were even strange glyphs on it that should be on the fire crystal.
He didn’t know what the spiritual root was doing, but he suddenly felt closer to the fire elent, and his understanding of fire increased slightly.
At this mont, inside the azure mountain range, the elent of fire suddenly gathered around his main body. Then slowly yet surely strange glyphs started to appear in those fire elent Qi.
These glyphs were too small and couldn’t be seen with naked eyes, so everything remained normal, and no one sensed anything strange.
Now back to the azure pavilion Ye Chen sensed sothing changing with his main body; however, he couldn’t put a finger on it no matter how hard he tried.
In the end he gave up and focused on the golden spiritual root inside his dantian.
It had been a total of six hours since the spiritual root started to devour the red hue, and now there was only a little bit left inside his dantian.
As for the fire crystal, it had lost its color and was slowly turning into fertilizer for his golden spiritual root.
There were not many changes to it, except for having one red line and so strange glyphs on its main branch.
When the golden root finally devoured everything, it once again hovered in the midair, but this ti its branches extended and attached themselves to the inner wall of the dantian.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking the common sense once again by letting your spiritual root devour a Heaven-grade fire elent crystal (half) at the fifth stage of the Qi Gathering realm!]
[As a reward for this achievent, you have been awarded five Heaven-grade fishing chances!]
A cold, emotionless voice rang out in his head as soon as everything was finished.
Ye Chen was stunned, but he expected this as his strength beca stronger by so unconventional thod.
’Let’s see if there is any change in my spiritual root now,’ he thought and opened his status panel.
——
[Na: Ye Chen]
[Race: Spiritual Mountain]
[Current Form: Human Mountain Spirit]
[Lifespan: Immortal]
[Cultivation: Fifth stage of Qi Gathering]
[Spiritual Root: Mutated (Grade-Unknown)]
[Bloodline: None]
[Divine Powers: Verdant Blossom Art…]
[System Coins: 42,000]
[Fishing: Heaven-Grade Fishing (x5)]
——
’It’s just to change to unknown,’ Ye Chen muttered in his heart with dissatisfaction.
[The mutation of the spiritual root is incomplete. The host is required to collect the other half of the fire crystal and let the spiritual root devour it. Only then would the grade evolution be finished!]
The system explained.
"Senior brother! (Brother Chen!) Are you all right?" Li i and Lan Ming inquired simultaneously.
Ye Chen, who was about to question the system, smiled at them and nodded.
"What could happen to ? Don’t you know that bad guys like live longer?" He replied as he grabbed the emperor void pearl, which had fallen on the floor.
He had kept this pearl in his pocket like it was nothing. If anyone from the ancient era knew this, they would spit out so blood in anger.
The pearl was, after all, an emperor-grade treasure, just one grade below divine.
However, Ye Chen treated it as a plaything, and after donning his new clothes, he once again placed the pearl inside the pocket.
’My strength had been increased fivefold. It should be enough for to fight against a late-stage Qi refining expert if I use the ice fla,’ he thought to himself, feeling the newfound strength.
Although his body didn’t beco stronger by too much, his spiritual Qi beca extrely pure. Moreover, his ridians widened slightly, and his control over the ice fla had increased.
With his strong physical body, along with the extre control over fire, he was confident that most of the early and mid-stage Qi refinings were not opponents of his.
As for the late stage, he could only fight against them. After all, the gap between big realms wasn’t easy to overco; moreover, there were also martial skills that played a crucial role.
’A pity that I don’t have ti to find an opponent,’ he muttered with a sigh when suddenly his eyes lit up and he glanced at the cold beauty whose face was a bit red.
"Yunqi, do you have any fighting squares in the pavilion? If yes, then accompany to a spar!"
