Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 566 - 313: Five-inch and Ninety-nine, Number One Below the Great True Monarch!

In the hierarchically strict Cultivation Realm, fighting across realms represents great risks and unknowns; it’s not as enjoyable as it seems.

There’s nothing as satisfying and easy as crushing with overwhelming strength.

"However, when at five-inch and ninety-nine, this matter is a question mark. Once I reach six inches Nascent Soul height, this matter will probably no longer be a question mark, but a period. By then, without a doubt, I will truly possess the strength of a Great True Monarch!"

Qi Chuan thought in his heart.

"Speaking of which, reaching six inches in Nascent Soul height isn’t something achievable with just a month or two of effort. Now that I’ve been in seclusion for a while, it might be better to go out and relax. Just as it’s been ten years, the proficiency of my Fire-Seeking Technique has improved greatly compared to ten years ago, it’s incomparable."

"I might as well go to the Ice Valley Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain to see if I can find the special Spirit Flame below."

"Moreover, it’s also a good opportunity to train my physical body a bit."

Thinking of this, Qi Chuan didn’t hesitate much and rose to his feet, heading toward the direction outside the Cave Mansion.

...

Some time later, the Chaotic Demon Sea, around the Ice Valley sea area, Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain.

Whoosh!

A cerulean rainbow streaked down from the sky.

The light dissipated, revealing the figure of Qi Chuan.

After appearing, Qi Chuan glanced around and headed straight for the volcano’s mouth.

On some of the volcanic ash islets around, those Ice Valley disciples all saw Qi Chuan. However, under the command of an Ice Valley Core Formation Elder, they did not dare to make any obstruction. Instead, they opened the array and allowed Qi Chuan to pass through freely.

Qi Chuan naturally paid no heed to these people.

He descended from the volcano’s mouth.

Everyone only heard a "plop" sound.

Amidst the splattering magma, Qi Chuan’s figure plunged into the crimson magma lake and disappeared.

Qi Chuan traversed the magma in the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain with mana protecting his body.

Even without using mana, his physical body alone was mostly unafraid of many areas of this Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain.

After all, over the years, his physical body was no longer the same as when he first advanced to Tier Four Early Stage Body Cultivator.

Now, he was close to the peak of Tier Four Early Stage Body Cultivator.

But the road to break through to Tier Four Middle Stage Body Cultivator was still long.

"Let’s first check the bottom to see if I can find the special Spirit Flame; physical training can wait..."

Thinking like this, Qi Chuan swiftly activated his mana and dived quickly downward.

Soon, Qi Chuan reached a patch of seemingly blazing white magma, where the brightness was blinding.

This was already the deepest layer of the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain.

"I wonder if I can find that hidden special Spirit Flame this time?"

Qi Chuan’s gaze measured the surrounding magma, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Because this time, as soon as he entered this deepest magma, there was a faint twitching between his brows, as if heralding something.

In his mind, this might be feedback from the Fire-Seeking Technique.

"Fire-Seeking Technique, activate!"

Thinking this, Qi Chuan didn’t hesitate and immediately formed a seal, activating the Fire-Seeking Technique.

With the operation of the Nascent Soul within him.

Initially, Qi Chuan didn’t feel anything in particular.

However, as the Fire-Seeking Technique ran faster and faster, a piece of unexpected information surfaced in Qi Chuan’s heart.

"This is... the location information of the special Spirit Flame!"

Perceiving this information, Qi Chuan’s eyes lit up.

"Over there!"

After sensing for a moment, Qi Chuan joyfully opened his eyes and looked toward the direction of the magma on the left.

Without hesitation, his figure moved, swiftly heading in that direction.

Soon, Qi Chuan had arrived near the location indicated by the Fire-Seeking Technique.

"Is it just ahead?"

Qi Chuan looked a bit puzzled at the point a hundred meters in front.

There lay a patch of blazing white magma.

It seemed no different from the magma in other areas of the deepest layer of the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain.

"However, the Fire-Seeking Technique shouldn’t deceive me."

Qi Chuan accelerated the operation of the Fire-Seeking Technique, and the feedback to his heart remained as before, clearly pointing to the area a hundred meters ahead.

"Eye Technique, activate!"

Qi Chuan directly formed a seal, operating some of the Eye Techniques he had practiced over the years.

After cultivating immortality for so many years, Qi Chuan had practiced numerous Eye Techniques.

Under the enhancement of the Hundredfold Critical Strike, he had achieved considerable success in all of them.

Just like his Invisibility and Concealing Breath Divine Techniques.

A single Eye Technique cultivated to a high realm may have limited use.

But under the addition of multiple advanced Eye Techniques, Qi Chuan’s vision was extraordinary, able to see through many things.

Just like his Concealing Breath Divine Techniques could deceive most Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beasts and cultivators of the same realm.

However, this time, after activating the Eye Techniques, Qi Chuan didn’t find any trace of the Spirit Flame’s presence at the magma a hundred meters ahead.

"Even Eye Techniques aren’t sufficient?"

Seeing this, Qi Chuan was quite puzzled.

Knowing there’s a special Spirit Flame right in front of him but being unable to discover it by any means is indeed a frustrating feeling.

"What exactly should I do..."

Qi Chuan pondered and, after a moment, attempted to channel the power of the Fire-Seeking Technique to his eyes.

After all, the Fire-Seeking Technique wasn’t originally any Eye Technique.

Qi Chuan just wanted to give it a try.

However, when the power of the Fire-Seeking Technique converged in his eyes, ripples of invisible waves surged in Qi Chuan’s vision.

The next moment, Qi Chuan inadvertently widened his eyes slightly.

In his vision, other areas remained unchanged, still a scene of blazing white magma.

However, just a hundred meters in front of him, streams of invisible air currents entangled and ascended.

Single invisible streams revealed nothing extraordinary.

However, when all the invisible streams were combined as a whole, one could find that there seemed to be an invisible entity, suspended in the blazing white magma.

Concentrating for a moment.

One could find, it appeared to be lotus-shaped.

A lotus formed by invisible air currents.

Within the lotus, even the stamen, buds, and other details could be seen, vividly realistic.

With the slight fluctuation of the invisible air currents, this special lotus of air currents also swayed gently, almost like a living lotus.

Strands of rich fire attribute spiritual power occasionally diffused from this lotus of invisible air currents, merging into the surrounding blazing white magma, adding a bit more heat to this Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain.

"This is... that special Spirit Flame?!"

Qi Chuan’s expression was filled with joy.

At this moment, how could he not realize that this lotus of invisible air currents ahead was in fact a Fire Lotus, the true body of the special Spirit Flame he had been arduously seeking!

Yet, having seen the true body of the Spirit Flame, Qi Chuan did not recklessly approach this Fire Lotus.

Because he could feel that within this invisible Fire Lotus was hidden terrifying fire spiritual power, strength far beyond his current self, at least at the level of a Great True Monarch!

Under such power, he absolutely couldn’t approach now.

Otherwise, it was likely to bring about self-destruction, being burned to death by this Spirit Flame.

Besides, even if it was a Fire Lotus with power at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage level, he still couldn’t easily approach.

Because the purpose of finding this special Spirit Flame was to refine it and make it his own.

To refine it, he must prepare many support items.

Currently, Qi Chuan was not fully prepared.

Nonetheless, Qi Chuan was still very pleased at this moment.

Because at least this time, he witnessed the true body of the special Spirit Flame with his own eyes, confirming its existence.

"Next, I probably need to begin preparing some support items for refining the special Spirit Flame."

"Once everything is ready, I’ll return here to refine and claim this special Spirit Flame for myself!"

Qi Chuan thought to himself.
