Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1080 - 1080 1040

1080: 1040 1080: 1040 Lu Chuan looked at Xsu Qing and asked, “So, you’ve got something you need from me?

Tell me, what is it?”

Lu Chuan asked.

“Have you made a breakthrough to Stage 2 yet?”

She looked at Lu Chuan with great anticipation.

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly, “Not yet.”

“That’s great!” Xsu Qing suddenly exclaimed.

Lu Chuan frowned at her, “There’s no need to be so happy about me not making a breakthrough, right?”

“You’ve misunderstood.

You see, I recently found a cave on the mountain outside.

Inside it, there’s a crystal suppressed and it’s filled with an immense fire attribute Spiritual Energy!”

“If you can get it and absorb it, I estimate it could help you make the breakthrough to Stage 2!”

She looked at Lu Chuan excitedly, took his hand, and cheered, “You get it?

You’re about to break through to Stage 2!

It’s true, I’m absolutely not deceiving you!”

Seeing how excited she was, Lu Chuan nodded slightly and couldn’t help but laugh too.

“That would be wonderful.

How far is that place?

Take me there, let’s set off now.

I can’t wait to break through to Stage 2 and get the strengthening from Skin Shedding Regeneration!”

“I’ve collected a whole storeroom of fire attribute mineral ore, but unfortunately, it’s still too slow.

It’s all on you now, your timing couldn’t be more perfect!”

Xsu Qing looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “By the way, how far do you feel you are from achieving your breakthrough with the Nine Heavens Profound Fire inside you?”

“Have you accumulated about half the necessary energy?”

Lu Chuan closed his eyes and seriously sensed the Nine Heavens Profound Fire within his body.

“Mmm, it’s roughly half.

I think, after I absorb the mineral ore from the storeroom, it’ll be just about enough.”

“After you reach a bottleneck, you still need to find a way to break it.

The crystal I found for you is incredibly precious.

It contains extremely pure fire attribute Spiritual Energy.

If you absorb it, you’ll break through your bottleneck and succeed in your breakthrough!”

“So, come quickly with me.

This opportunity is rare!”

Following that, Lu Chuan rode out quickly on horses with Xsu Qing.

This time, Lu Chuan did not bring along Dongfang Cheng, Jyang Ran, or Yu Qiming.

Now, with enemies lurking somewhere in the city, taking Jyang Ran along might put the Yu Residence in great potential danger.

Therefore, Lu Chuan left the city alone, accompanying Xsu Qing towards the mountains outside.

After exiting the city, Xsu Qing raised her hand and pointed at a mountain peak.

“That’s the mountain right there.

It was there that I found it, a hidden cave.

Originally, I was chasing wild chickens, and I followed them all the way there before discovering that hidden cave.”

“Alright, it doesn’t look too far away.

We should be able to get there by noon, for sure.”

The two of them quickly rode their horses on the road.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, it was noon, and the blazing sun made everything seem very hot.

Lu Chuan rode his horse on the mountain path, thankfully the terrain was fairly even and the slope wasn’t too steep, so it was possible to trot gradually.

“We’re almost there, nearly there, right in front of us!”

Xsu Qing pointed to a haystack ahead and shouted, “Right there, I specifically used the surrounding dry grass to conceal it, so no one will discover it!”

Xsu Qing turned to dismount, tied the horse to the trunk of a nearby tree, and then trotted towards the cave entrance.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly followed.

“Slow down, don’t run too fast!”

“It’s fine, what’s there to be afraid of?

There’s no one else here.

Are you worried a wolf will eat me up?”

“Not that.

I have enemies in Cloud Sea City now.

I’m afraid they’ve followed us and are lying in ambush.”

“They won’t.

We’ve been walking through flat plains.

If they were tracking us, they would’ve been spotted halfway.”

Xsu Qing laughed, unconcerned.

“Come on, no one will discover us here, this place is very hidden.”

She vigorously parted the dry grass, revealing the entrance to the cave.

The cave was of average size, just big enough to allow a carriage to enter and exit.

Lu Chuan stood at the entrance, looking into the pitch-black interior of the cave.

“It’s really dark in here.”

“Let’s go in, I’ll light a fire for you.”

Lu Chuan raised his left hand, igniting the Divine Fire of the Sun, immediately filling the surroundings with bright flames.

“See, no one will follow us, it’s just the two of us.

Come on, follow me in, that thing is deep inside the cave, embedded in a boulder.

I can’t get it out!”

Xsu Qing led the way into the cave.

The cave was not very deep; after just a couple of steps, Lu Chuan reached the end.

The temperature around them had risen, lacking the cool feeling one would expect from a cave.

Lu Chuan extended the flames forward, illuminating the crystals on the wall.

He saw a clear and translucent red crystal, embedded in the boulder before him.

The high temperature of the cave was caused by this crystal.

Lu Chuan touched it and the heat felt as if it was about to scorch his skin.

“This crystal is really something.”

“Alright, my part is done, now it’s up to you to figure out how to take this thing out.”

Xsu Qing stood by with a smug look, smiling at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan drew out the Soul Terminating Sword and inserted its blade into the crevice, preparing to use brute force to pry out the crystal.

After some effort, cracks began to appear in the boulder and gradually, it shattered apart, the intact crystal falling out.

Lu Chuan reached out to pick up the crystal, but the scorching high temperature again burned his palm.

“Hisss~”

“This thing is too hot; if I carry it all the way back, I’m afraid my hands will get roasted.”

Xsu Qing chuckled, “I knew this would happen, that’s why I’ve already made preparations.”

Thereupon, she took out a black box from behind her.

“Put it in the box, this metal box can withstand the high temperature.”

Lu Chuan took the box from Xsu Qing’s hands, “Thanks, you’ve thought this through.”

Lu Chuan quickly picked up the crystal and threw it into the box, swiftly covering it with the lid.

Afterward, Lu Chuan hung the box on his waist.

“Done!

I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.

Now we can head back.”

Xsu Qing excitedly clenched her fists, laughing, “That’s great, I’ll be able to see the Stage 2 Divine Fire soon!

The Nine Heavens Profound Fire will surely become incredibly powerful after the breakthrough!”

Watching her excitement, it was as if she was the one who would be breaking through.

Lu Chuan patted her on the shoulder, “Don’t get too excited, there’s time to be excited after the breakthrough.”

“Let’s go, it’s time to head back.”

Lu Chuan led Xsu Qing towards the cave entrance.

Bang!!!

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted, followed by the sound of rolling stones.

Rumble rumble!

Continuous falling rocks quickly completely blocked the entrance within seconds.

The light coming through the entrance gradually became completely obstructed, plunging Lu Chuan and Xsu Qing into darkness.

Helplessly, Lu Chuan had to release his Divine Fire of the Sun once again for illumination.

Xsu Qing looked around in sheer terror, “What’s going on?

Is this an earthquake?

Why is there such violent shaking all of a sudden?”
