Chapter Nine: King-Level Powerhouses
Su Yang did not jump directly into the hole.
Instead, he walked up to the corpse of the two-headed giant snake.
Looking at the enormous corpse, Su Yang raised his hand and gently touched its slippery body.
He quickly transformed the giant snake.
"It really is a mid-level third-tier demon beast. Even without a demon core, it can still convert so many martial arts points!"
Name: Su Yang
Age: Sixteen
Cultivation level: Qi Gathering Realm, seventh level
Exercise Method: *Xianyang Gong*
Martial arts: "Three-Layered Strength" and "Tongbei Fist"
Martial arts points: 163
Resurrection After Death: The Final Battle
Seeing the extra 150 points, Su Yang was overjoyed.
It takes 70 points to advance from the seventh level of Qi Gathering to the eighth level, and 80 points to advance from the eighth to the ninth level.
Without hesitation, he directly raised his cultivation level to the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!
Feeling the explosive power emanating from his body, Su Yang's aura surged, and the dust left behind by the giant snake's corpse scattered.
Then Su Yang instantly appeared beside the cave and jumped down.
The hole was not shallow; it took more than ten seconds of continuous descent to reach the bottom.
The cave was pitch black. Su Yang raised his hand, and pale golden true energy appeared. Using the faint light, he surveyed everything at the bottom of the cave.
It was just an ordinary cave with a long passage.
As Su Yang entered the passage, he was very careful and dared not be careless.
Just because Su Chen walked the path without incident doesn't mean it will be safe for him to walk it again.
Who knows, some crises might not happen the first time, but be triggered the second time?
......
A bluish-yellow light flickered overhead.
Su Chen walked ahead, with Xu Wan following behind him.
"Can you give me back my green bamboo?"
Looking at the cyan longsword held by the man in black robes, Xu Wan couldn't help but ask.
Although it was only a level three sword, it was a gift from her grandfather when she joined the Luoxia Sword Sect, so it held special significance for her.
But Su Chen ignored her and just kept walking.
Seeing his reaction, Xu Wan naturally dared not mention it again. Now that she was at his mercy, the longsword was of great significance, but not as important as her life.
Seeing the woman behind him so sensible, without any of her previous arrogance, hiding under the black robe, Su Chen's lips curled up slightly, and a sense of pleasure rose in his heart.
He even felt a little better about Xu Wan, secretly thinking that if she didn't have that willful and capricious nature, she would be a pretty good girl.
The further they went into the passage, the higher the temperature became, and they could even see faint flames. Xu Wan was alright; although her cultivation was sealed, her physical body was strong enough to withstand it.
However, Su Chen was finding it difficult to cope and could only silently pray that the Taixu Cauldron would help him isolate himself from the temperature.
Finally, after the two emerged from the passage, the first thing they saw was a huge underground cave.
And an endless sea of lava and fire!
Su Chen looked up and saw a gray-black rock a hundred meters away, above the sea of fire, with a gray-black skeleton sitting cross-legged on it.
"What is that?"
Su Chen asked in confusion.
"Xia Qianqiu, an elder of the Luoxia Sword Sect, a King-level expert, and the Fire Spirit King."
Turning his head to look at Xu Wan, Su Chen was surprised to find that this woman actually recognized the skeleton.
Staring at the skeleton in a daze, Xu Wan couldn't help but feel a bit complicated even though she had already guessed that Xia Qianqiu probably hadn't broken through to the Supreme Emperor Realm to extend his lifespan. But when she finally confirmed his death, she couldn't help but feel a bit complicated.
The toubu in her arms was left behind by him, with the purpose of allowing the descendants of the Luoxia Sword Sect to come here to retrieve his body and inherit his legacy after his death.
She wanted to leap onto the gray-black stone platform, but her Qi Sea was sealed, so she couldn't. She could only look at Su Chen, the meaning in her eyes self-evident.
Feeling awkward as he was looked at by those clear eyes, Su Chen knew he really had no such intention.
Now that he was already here, there was no need for him to take Xu Wan up to that dark gray rock platform.
He pretended not to see it, and the azure and yellow light enveloped him. Then he soared into the air, and the endless sea of fire exploded beneath his feet, but it could not harm him in the slightest.
Xu Wan was left alone, biting her lip, watching Su Chen land on the gray-black stone platform. Even though she was anxious, she could only stomp her feet in anger.
The constant scorching heat of the flames was so intense that even the bones of a powerful king could not withstand it, turning them into charcoal.
Near the skeleton, there are five jade boxes in front of it.
But Su Chen didn't pay attention to the five jade boxes first. Instead, he looked at the palm-sized, yellowish-green fragment hanging from the skeleton's neck.
I tried to remove it gently, but the skeleton was too fragile. Even the slightest external force caused the neck bone to break, and the head fell directly to the ground and shattered into ash.
Somewhat embarrassed, he glanced back at Xu Wan and saw that her eyes were burning with rage, even more intense than the sea of fire.
He scratched the back of his head, and the green and yellow fragments in his hand went straight into his body.
Meanwhile, within Su Chen's sea of consciousness, a phantom cauldron, whose body originally had only one physical form, now had two.
Having taken a step closer to its own completeness, the divine power of the Taixu Cauldron has recovered somewhat, and its Dao essence has spread out, making its power even greater!
Having collected the most important item, Su Chen finally had the mind to look at the five jade boxes in front of him.
Pick up the first one and open it.
It was a fiery red fruit, containing immense fiery energy; just holding it made Su Chen feel as if he were being burned.
"Fire Spirit Fruit!"
Holding the jade box, Su Chen's hands trembled.
He recognized the fiery red fruit as a level-five spiritual plant that only grows in magma and fire domains. If he were to consume it and absorb the fiery energy it contained, not only would his true qi be imbued with the power of fire, but he would also be able to recover his cultivation level in no time, perhaps even reaching the Acquired Realm!
