Chapter 467: Chapter 461 Danger and Opportunity (4 more)

Before, it was about the strength of seventeen hundred dragons.

Now it’s nearly four thousand dragon’s force?

This pace of progress is too fast, isn’t it? Even Su Chen found it unimaginably rapid.

The key was, he couldn’t find the reason for his meteoric advancement.

"Kid, what I just gave you is the Essence of Mountain Milk, aged a million years!" Subsequently, the Spirit Guardian stood in front of Su Chen.

Su Chen instinctively stepped back, his face drastically changing, "It was you..."

He was exceedingly vigilant, even his breath began to stir, ready to strike.

Jiuyou, however, quickly recounted everything about this Spirit Guardian to Su Chen.

After a long while, Su Chen calmed down, but his heart, like Jiuyou’s, was chillingly cold.

The manner of the Spirit Guardian’s test was too brutal.

He had almost...

"The mountain we are on right now is named Burning Heaven Mountain, in the Ancient Era, this mountain was the highest on the Divine Martial Continent!" The Spirit Guardian said somberly: "However, due to a catastrophic battle, this mountain was obliterated, and those fragmented mountains, after the erosion of time, slowly became the inconspicuous Burning Heaven Mountain Range you see today. After the Ancient Era, the Earth Fire Spirit sealed itself at the very bottom of this mountain range. And I, as the Spirit Guardian, in these endless, lonely years, had only one amusement—Tempering the Essence of Mountain Milk. All the Mountain Milk of Burning Heaven Mountain was collected by me, not a drop was left. This Mountain Milk originally weighed tens of thousands of pounds, but as time went on, I tempered it countless times, each time removing the dross, until, in the end, only a little bit remained. Just now, I gave it to you!"

Su Chen felt like he was listening to a Heavenly Book.

Dazed.

Stunned.

Even Jiuyou was extremely shocked.

"The reason I gave it to you is mainly because your Physical Strength is still insufficient to fuse with the Earth Fire Spirit. After the Essence of Mountain Milk cleansed your body, there is now a certain assurance!" The Spirit Guardian said indifferently.

"Thank you, senior!" Although Su Chen still couldn’t fully trust the words of the Spirit Guardian, after all, the other party had given him an immense favor, and he needed to express his gratitude.

"Don’t thank me, I did it for myself!" The Spirit Guardian said somberly: "In the Ancient Era, before the Earth Fire Spirit sealed itself, it first sealed me. Unless one day the Earth Fire Spirit is subdued and fused, I will not regain my freedom."

"So that’s how it is!" Su Chen understood.

But suddenly, another thought occurred to him.

About the Earth Fire Spirit, about the Spirit Guardian before him, did Wenren Nongyue know?!

If she didn’t know, then why was Wenren Nongyue so sure and certain on that day in Divine Human City, directly transmitting a message to him, asking him to come to Burning Heaven Sect?

If she knew, then how terrifying would Wenren Nongyue be? A million years ago? The Ancient Era? The Earth Fire Spirit? etc... Could all these be known and certain to Wenren Nongyue?

Su Chen’s lips twitched, he suddenly had the urge to die.

If his conjecture was indeed correct.

Then his fiancee would be too... twisted!!! How many years would he have to cultivate before he could catch up? Before he could exercise his rights as a husband?

"All right, now, follow me to meet the Earth Fire Spirit!" The Spirit Guardian said, then floated eerily, turning and walking in a certain direction.

Su Chen composed himself.

He followed the Earth Fire Spirit.

As he walked, Su Chen’s eyes trembled as he looked around.

The surroundings were vast and spacious, so open that one couldn’t see the end at first glance.

But one could vaguely see that this place was once a site for martial arts cultivation, those broken walls and ruins very imposing, stout, and shocking. Even separated by a million years, Su Chen could still vaguely feel an overwhelming shock.

In addition, on this open ground, there were pits, thousands of them, densely packed and quite blinding to the eye.

The big, deep ones were a hundred meters deep and more than ten meters wide.

The small, shallow ones were only a few meters deep and half a meter wide.

Clearly, these pits were the work of his predecessors, who vainly tried to explore and, after descending tens of thousands of meters into the pits, were led by the illusions created by the Spirit Guardian to step into the void, fall, and ultimately crash into nothingness.

Following the Spirit Guardian, they walked for about a hundred breaths.

The Spirit Guardian stopped.

It pointed ahead.

Su Chen followed the direction of its finger!!!

He saw.

It was a coffin.

The coffin was three meters in length and one and a half meters in width.

A regular rectangular shape.

The coffin was of a purple copper color, adorned with dense patterns, carvings, and runes.

Additionally, this purple copper coffin gave Su Chen an extremely oppressive feeling!

Standing before this purple copper coffin, Su Chen inexplicably felt an urge to kneel!

This oppression originated from a spiritual intimidation.

Su Chen’s face turned slightly pale, staring at the purple copper coffin, his eyes becoming extremely solemn.

"The Earth Fire Spirit is inside this purple copper coffin, and the coffin itself is also a Supreme Treasure!" the Spirit Guardian said coldly. "I cannot open the coffin, because once it’s opened, the Earth Fire Spirit will burst forth with endless heat, instantly turning the entire Burning Heaven Mountain Range into void, and all the people on the Burning Heaven Mountain Range will die in an instant."

Su Chen’s face changed drastically, and he quickly shook his head, "Don’t you dare open it!"

If it were opened, the Burning Heaven Sect would be no more.

"Therefore, I must fuse this purple copper coffin into your body along with me!" the Spirit Guardian continued.

Su Chen held his breath: "Can... can this be done?!"

"Yes!" the Spirit Guardian affirmed. "With the purple copper coffin there, consider it a temporary protection for you, protecting you from direct contact with the Earth Fire Spirit. Even so, your current Physical Strength is just barely sufficient. If you were to come into direct contact with the Earth Fire Spirit, not even ten times your current Physical Strength would withstand it. Right, I should remind you that once I inject this purple copper coffin into your body, it will slowly lose its sealing effect. It could be a thousand years or as short as ten years before it unseals, and the Earth Fire Spirit will come into direct contact with your Physical Body. By then, if your Physical Strength is not strong enough to withstand the Earth Fire Spirit, you know the consequences!"

Su Chen’s body trembled.

The pressure was truly boundless.

It was like fusing a volcano into one’s own body!!! An extremely mighty volcano at that!

This volcano could erupt at any moment.

Damn.

Su Chen was somewhat regretful now, regretting coming down here.

"Remember, lad, every opportunity comes with its risks, and every risk is accompanied by opportunities."

"Indeed, by fusing this purple copper coffin into your body, you might die at any moment."

"However, the help it can provide you is immense."

"First, as for this purple copper coffin, like I said, it is a Supreme Treasure. Now that it belongs to you, it can be integrated with the Divine Mansion within you, elevating your Divine Mansion to another level."

"Second, with the Earth Fire Spirit sealed within you, even if it doesn’t come into direct contact with you for the time being, it will still leak out traces of the Earth Fire Spirit’s essence. Don’t underestimate these traces; over time, it will significantly benefit your Physical Strength."

"Third, with the Earth Fire Spirit inside you, from now on, unless you come across Heavenly Fire or flames beyond Heavenly Fire, you will be able to ignore all other flames."

...

It seemed as if the Spirit Guardian had noticed Su Chen’s concerns and regrets, so it continued.

With each point it made,

Su Chen’s eyes brightened a bit more.

Once the Spirit Guardian finished speaking, Su Chen obviously licked his lips.

As the Spirit Guardian had said, though it came with great danger, it was also an enormous opportunity!

Let’s do it!!!
