248: Chapter 237: Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan (Request for Monthly Tickets) _2 248: Chapter 237: Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan (Request for Monthly Tickets) _2 This place was teeming with numerous valleys dense with monstrous energy.

This energy gathered without dispersing, rising skyward.

The winds that blew in carried a fetid stench.

There was no trace of life for hundreds of miles behind them, it was just barren wilderness.

Clearly, this was the territory of some vicious monsters.

“Demon’s Lair, Demon’s Lair!” Jiang Chen called out, turning his head to Sun Wukong, he said, “Monkey, looks like we don’t need to go anywhere else.”

“I’ve just discovered that this is the infamous Demon’s Lair of Dongsheng Divine Continent, filled with countless demons and monsters.

As long as we can purge this area, it will be a remarkable achievement.”

“Making a name for ourselves should start from here.”

He wasn’t joking.

This area filled with monsters, if Jiang Chen and Sun Wukong could really purge it, it would undoubtedly shake the reputation of the Heaven Court.

The Jade Emperor would surely reward the two heavily, setting an example for others.

“Really?” Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong excitedly hopped onto a hilltop, imitating Jiang Chen, and started to look around.

Unfortunately, he had yet to acquire his Fiery Eyes, so he stared for a while but gleaned nothing.

Ignoring the antics of Sun Wukong, Jiang Chen first ordered the Demon Suppression troops to clean up the battlefield.

Then, he instructed them to establish a base in these mountains, making it their stronghold for purging the Little Cang Mountain Range.

After giving out those orders, Jiang Chen spoke to Sun Wukong asking him to probe the surrounding area.

He then dragged the corpse of the Vulture to a hill and went into seclusion.

It wasn’t exactly seclusion but rather preparation for refining a treasure.

He had previously mentioned that he planned to collect feathers from the Great Ancient divine birds to refine a treasure.

The treasure he wanted to refine was called the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

Yes, it was the same protective magic treasure of the Yang Ren, a third-generation disciple of the Chan teachings in the Era of Quantitative Calamity.

The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, also known as The Seven Birds Five Fires Fan, Five Fires Divine Flame Fan, and Seven Feathers Fan.

This treasure was bestowed onto his disciple Daoist Daode by Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, who retrieved it from the Treasury Rock.

Later, Daoist Daode gave this fan to his disciple Yang Ren as a protective amulet.

This fan was a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Its power is phenomenal.

It was said that its dazzling multicolored feathers emitted a grand aura that dominated all directions for eternity.

Daoist Daode used this fan to break one of the Ten Deadly Formations, the Red Water Array, and killed the formation leader Wang Biantian.

Nanji Immortal used it to break the Red Sand formation from the Ten Deadly Formations and banished the Red Sand.

After Yang Ren descended the mountain, he used this fan to save Huang Feihu and other five generals.

Then he broke the Pestilence Array, killing the array’s leader, the plague god Lv Yue, along with Li Ping, Chen Geng, Fang Yizhen, Yu Xian, Yu Zhao, and others.

He even scared Yuan Hong away, the leader of the Meishan Seven Monsters.

Who is Yuan Hong?

He was the first long-armed ape formed after the world began, possessing immeasurable power, capable of snatching the sun and moon, shrinking mountains, judging good and evil, and manipulating heaven and earth.

Even he was scared off by the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, displaying the power of this fan.

That’s the treasure Jiang Chen intended to refine.

In theory, Innate Spiritual Treasures were born of Heaven and Earth.

Other than the Innate Treasure the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, which could be used to refine Innate Spiritual Treasures, no one was known to be able to refine an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

But, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan is an exception.

Jiang Chen, who had inherited the memory of Emperor Xi, knew that the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan was not an Innate Spiritual Treasure born out of Heaven and Earth, but an Innate Spiritual Treasure refined by humans.

The one who refined this treasure was none other than Hongjun Daizu, the legendary number one person in the prehistoric world.

Why did Emperor Xi know about this?

Because Hongjun Daizu himself had said this.

During a preaching session, he randomly told everyone that not all Innate Spiritual Treasures were created by Heaven and Earth.

Some Innate Spiritual Treasures could be refined.

Upon saying this, Hongjun Daizu took out several Innate Spiritual Treasures which he refined as examples.

He explained in detail the materials and processes needed to refine them.

The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan was one of the Innate Spiritual Treasures that the Daoist Master had used as an example.

In other words, the method of refining the Innate Spiritual Treasure Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan was detailed in Emperor Xi’s inheritance.

The method of refinement was simple.

Many who have some foundation in refining artefacts could refine it, as long as they could find the materials necessary to refine the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

Unfortunately, the materials necessary, although the refinement method is simple, are very hard to find.

This is why there is only one Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan in The Three Realms.

So, what exactly are the materials necessary to refine the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan?

As the name suggests, they are five types of Innate Divine Fire and the life essence feathers from seven Ancient Divine Birds.

The stronger the Innate Divine Fire and the higher the level of the Ancient Divine Birds, the stronger the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, made by Hongjun Daizu, used space fire, stone fire, wood fire, samadhi fire, and human fire, a combination of five fires;

The feathers used were from ancient mythical beasts such as the phoenix, the azure luan, the giant peng, the peacock, the white crane, the swan, and the owl.

The feathers of these seven birds were combined.

With symbols on the front and patterns on the back, a single wave of the fan creates a divine flame that blazes into the sky, emitting ten thousand rays of golden light that can effortlessly turn anyone into flying ashes.

Hongjun Daizu’s actions are, of course, extraordinary.

The flame is a top-quality Innate Divine Fire, and the owners of those feather cores are at least at the level of Great Luo Taoist Masters.

They were collected by Hongjun Daizu in the limitless distant past, from the battlefield of the Three Races.

When such treasures are put together, and compounded by the fact that they were personally refined by Hongjun Daizu, this Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan became a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure since its inception.

In terms of strength, Jiang Chen naturally couldn’t compare with Hongjun Daizu.

No, comparing the two would be an insult to Hongjun Daizu.

Referring to the materials, Jiang Chen didn’t collect enough treasures needed to refine the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

The five kinds of Innate Divine Fire are easy to collect.

However, the seven original feathers of the ancient beasts at the Taoist Master level are hard to get.

Right now, Jiang Chen has only three feathers from beasts of the Taoist Master level.

One was from the Great Ancient Beast, the Desert Hawk, and was found in the wolf’s den on Langjuxu Mountain.

One was from the Peng Demon King, attained when Jiang Chen was at Huaguo Mountain.

And one was from the ancient Fire Raven, stolen from the messenger of the Gouchen Palace in the Eastern Sea.

Adding these together, he had only half of the seven feathers required to make the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

Lacking materials, why would Jiang Chen insist on refining the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan?

Because he intended to create an imitation instead.

If he couldn’t make the genuine artifact, he planned to make a replica.

What is a replica?

It refers to using feathers from divine birds of other grades to substitute for the seven Taoist Master Level feathers.

The replica of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan produced in this way would surely be less powerful than the genuine one, but it should not be underestimated.

The strength of the fan would vary depending on the grade of the substituted feathers.

If it’s made with feathers of the Golden Immortal level, then even a Golden Immortal upon seeing this fan, would retreat for it possesses immense power.

If it’s made with feathers of the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, combined with the power of Five Innate Fires, the fan’s potency would be enough to easily destroy Taiyi Golden Immortal, and might even threaten a Golden Immortal.

Jiang Chen’s plan was to use feathers of the Taiyi Golden Immortal’s level to refine the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan.

If he can’t refine an Innate Spiritual Treasure, then why not a man-made treasure?

If he can’t find feathers of Taoist Master Level, why not Taiyi Golden Immortal level?

On the Four Continents, many ancient divine birds are at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Level; gathering seven feathers shouldn’t be too hard.

Locate a few with heavy karma, kill them and take the feathers.

What’s that?

Too strong to fight?

There’s no need to worry!

If nothing else works, he could simply purchase them for a price.

Jiang Chen, born of the royal bloodline of the Human Race, is not short of money.

There are always more solutions than problems.

As long as he wants to, gathering seven feathers from Taiyi Golden Immortal Level divine birds wouldn’t be difficult for Jiang Chen.
