"My cultivation level has stabilized at the third stage of the Supreme God Realm!"
Standing before the Gate of Flames, Jiang Yuan watched as his cultivation level deepened. Last time, a single cosmic source stone allowed him to break through several realms in succession, but such rapid advancement could easily lead to an unstable foundation, something Jiang Yuan greatly feared.
Fortunately, this trip to the Samadhi Sea of Inferno further solidified his foundation.
After two days of forging in flames, Jiang Yuan's physical body has reached a new level. Previously, the Nine Arts of the Human Race made his abilities tend to be singular, but now his physical body is more like a whole, where moving one part affects the whole body, and blood, flesh, bones, essence, qi and spirit are all integrated.
"I never thought that helping out could lead to a breakthrough!" Jiang Yuan realized that being helpful wasn't such a bad habit after all; at least he didn't lose out.
Just as he was feeling smug, a wave of heat blew in, and Jiang Yuan realized that he had been running around naked for two days.
"We need to finish the mission quickly so we can slip away with the loot!"
He came to collect the essence of the sun with no intention of returning it to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. As soon as he got his hands on the treasure, he would flee with it, considering it as asking the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden for some interest first, since she would have to repay the debt in Nancheng slowly.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan's gaze stopped on the gate of flames in front of him. This was the place where the essence of the sun and the seed of the great sun were stored. Inside was the Void Life Flame, which could burn even gods. To survive the Void Life Flame unharmed, transcending the battlefield was the most basic condition.
"If I hadn't come, I don't know how that woman would have obtained the treasure!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ponder. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden definitely had the ability to enter, otherwise she wouldn't have come. The reason she let him in to retrieve it was either because she wanted to hide her abilities or because she wanted to trick him.
Jiang Yuan leaned more towards the latter reason: the sage was ruthless and treated the people like straw dogs; the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was capable of anything in order to transcend, and this was not the first time.
"It seems we still need to be careful!"
Jiang Yuan slowly walked towards the Gate of Flames. The temperature here was already the highest in the Samadhi Flame Sea, and it was even approaching the fire of the sun. To be on the safe side, he replaced all his attributes with fire attributes. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to maintain the stability of his divine power for a long time in such an extreme environment.
Every step he took closer to Jiang Yuan was filled with immense pressure. Especially when he reached the doorway, the weakened version of the Void Life Flame that shot out directly forced his Dragon Essence back into his dantian. The Dragon Essence that had been invincible before seemed extremely afraid of being tainted by the Void Life Flame.
"As expected of a barrier set up by the gods, even geniuses dare not approach it!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh. The existence of the Void Life Flame was the best protection for treasures. Apart from the innate gods with extraordinary talents, he couldn't think of anyone else who could take something out of the Void Life Flame at the God Realm.
"Try the Starry Sky Glass!"
The reason he dared to come here was his Starry Sky Glass Arm, which allowed him to pass through the Void Life Flame and retrieve its contents. However, with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden present, he still had to be extra careful. If he were to be used by her again, he would truly have no chance of turning the tables.
Under Jiang Yuan's will, the arm, which was originally made of flesh and blood, became crystal clear, and the blood flowing under the skin became liquid glass with beautiful colors, just like the most perfect work of art in the world, giving people the illusion that they would be captivated by it at first glance.
This is the enchanting starry sky, deep and mysterious.
"Eternal Grotto, protect my true spirit!"
The two great grotto-heavens appeared to prevent accidents. As long as the two great grotto-heavens exist, even if an accident occurs, Jiang Yuan can still reside in the grotto-heavens in the form of a true spirit.
"call!"
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and then reached into the Gate of Flames. When his fingers touched the Void Flame, he felt a burning sensation from his soul.
The Void Flame is a flame capable of burning away flesh and piercing the soul. How many people on the entire battlefield dare to face the Void Flame directly? Even someone as strong as Jiang Yuan could only enter it with one of his star-glass arms, not daring to overstep his bounds. One can imagine the damage the Void Flame inflicts on ordinary life.
After reaching his hand into the Gate of Flames, Jiang Yuan sensed the space inside through the energy of the glass. In the blur, he could perceive an extremely hot light, and his intuition told him that it was the essence of the sun.
But apart from the essence of the sun, the Great Sun Fire Seed mentioned by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was nowhere to be found.
"That's not right. Judging from her tone, there should be other treasures here besides the essence of the sun. How come we can't even sense the Great Sun Fire Seed?"
Jiang Yuan was puzzled, but there was no turning back now. The essence of the sun was within reach, and his choice was to take it into his possession first.
However, just as he was about to turn his arm to grab the essence of the sun, the essence of the sun seemed to have gained sentience and actually commanded the void life fire of the entire space to press down on him. Once he was entangled by such a huge void life fire, the result was predictable.
"Damn it, the concentration of Starry Sky Vitrification on my arm isn't high enough!"
As a transcendent object comparable to the Void Flame, Starry Sky Glazed Glass should theoretically be invincible to either of them. However, in reality, Jiang Yuan's glassification level is only one percent. His arm in the Void Flame is more like firewood in a fire. Although it cannot be ignited at first, it will inevitably catch fire and be completely destroyed in the flames over time.
"Damn it, I'll risk it!" Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth and activated his natal magic weapon, Hellfire instantly enveloping his arm. "Reincarnation, freeze!"
As flames filled his arm, Jiang Yuan suddenly reached out and his hand firmly grasped the essence of the sun.
However, just when he thought everything was over, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, the essence of the sun he was holding transformed into a golden crow, which was now struggling violently in his hand.
