Chapter 1055 - 727: Fire Pill Middle Stage

Chapter 1055: Chapter 727: Fire Pill Middle Stage

Four years later, Phoenix Perch Mountain, Frightening Sword Island.

Inside the Cave Mansion’s Practice Room, Shen Xuan slowly concluded his cultivation.

The strange Spiritual Light around him gradually merged into his body.

He opened his eyes, a glimmer of brilliance flashed, which then transformed into a hint of joy.

With a slight thought, his Divine Sense submerged into the Sea of Consciousness.

The ancient Mysterious Jade Talisman radiated light.

[Lifespan: 254/910]

[Divine Power: Tai Chi Primordial Technique Mastery (199/200)]

[Talent: Primordial Fire Spirit Body Mastery (399/400)]

[Dao Rhyme: 12188986]

In four years, through dedicated cultivation, he completely absorbed and refined two Tier Three Upper Grade Inner Cores from the Thunderfire Jiao and the Three-Headed Fire Wolf.

From the Thunderfire Jiao, he chose the Innate Divine Power [Thunderfire Escape].

When this technique is activated, he can transform into a fierce thunderfire, achieving a strange short-distance teleportation.

The trajectory is unpredictable, useful for breaking through or surprise attacks, and extremely fast.

It perfectly complements his primary escape technique [Wind Thunder Spirit Escape], and with the characteristics of a Fire Escape, it has advantages in fire spirit environments, quite practical.

From the Three-Headed Fire Wolf, he chose the life-preserving talent [Substitution Demon Fire].

Faced with deadly attacks, it automatically sacrifices part of the demon fire essence, condensing in front a mimic "Fire Wolf Demon Body" to take on most of the damage, allowing the true body to escape.

This is a rare Divine Power that significantly reduces damage during Magical Combat.

Refining these two Inner Cores not only granted him two powerful Divine Powers but brought nearly two million Dao Rhyme Value.

Both being of the fire element further nourished and strengthened the Primordial Fire Golden Core in the Dantian, with Spiritual Power becoming more magnificent, approaching the pinnacle of the Golden Core Early Stage.

"The Fire Technique Golden Core has been condensing for twenty-one years now. With slight adjustments and settling down, it will naturally progress to the Middle Stage."

Shen Xuan estimated in his mind, satisfied with this speed.

It is more than twice faster compared to the advancement of the Ice Technique Golden Core back then.

"Time does not wait for me indeed."

Shen Xuan sighed softly.

Even as a Divine Power Realm Body Refining Great Cultivator, within this Dragon-soaring and Tiger-lurking, complexly-rooted Qin Country, he must tread carefully, strategizing every step.

Being of humble origin with no backing is the original sin.

Fortunately, True Monarch Wu Wei of the Myriad Phenomena Daoist Palace showed goodwill towards him.

Under his care, Lu Rushan of the Fortune Commerce Alliance and Zhao Zhenshan of the Five Lakes Commerce Alliance have not pushed him too hard, maintaining superficial courtesy.

In return, Shen Xuan, through Zhang Shixiu, accepted many pill refining commissions from Myriad Phenomena Immortal City, prioritizing quality to arrange them.

It was midnight, the moonlight cold and serene.

Shen Xuan quietly exited the Cave Mansion, arriving at a secluded valley deep within Frightening Sword Island.

This place is shrouded year-round by gloomy winds and dense fog.

Without his specially made token, outsiders can hardly enter or investigate.

In the valley, a figure cloaked in a blue Daoist Robe sat cross-legged, silently absorbing the moonlight essence while facing the silver moon in the sky.

An eerie cold and lifeless aura surrounded it.

Shen Xuan sat opposite, hands weaving intricate and profound spells, continuously casting strands of blood-colored Spiritual Light into the forehead Sea of Consciousness of the blue-robed figure.

As the spell entered, the blue-robed figure trembled slightly.

In an instant, it raised its head.

Cold and ruthless, lifeless eyes snapped open!

Just for a moment.

Blue flames burned in its eyes.

As its gaze swept through, the air seemed to ignite.

This is the flesh body of True Monarch Red Flame.

Through Shen Xuan’s arduous four-year cultivation using [Blood Refining Divine Corpse Technique], its appearance was greatly altered, becoming much leaner with sharper contours.

At a glance, it now resembles Shen Xuan himself by fifty or sixty percent.

"Clang!"

A crisp sword cry, akin to a dragon’s roar!

A bright blue firelight soared from the sword box at its back, transforming into a long sword held in its hand.

That was the Red Flame Sword.

Currently, the blade burned with the [Celestial Tribulation Thunderfire] that Shen Xuan infused into it.

A harrowing aura of the Celestial Tribulation’s destructive force spread, swiftly evaporating the mist in the valley.

"Hmm, this sword has yet to fully adapt to the [Celestial Tribulation Thunderfire]."

Shen Xuan slightly furrowed his brow, murmuring softly.

"It can no longer be called the Red Flame Sword. It should be named Thunderfire Sword."

With a faint thought, the spell in his hand changed.

The Thunderfire Sword emitted a light hum of reluctance, transforming into a blue-white electric light and swiftly returning to the back of the avatar.

This avatar, painstakingly refined with [Blood Refining Divine Corpse], contains neither Nascent Soul nor Golden Core within.

Its "Spiritual Nature" derives from a portion of Shen Xuan’s Divine Soul split off.

"Power," on the other hand, comes from the [Celestial Tribulation Thunderfire] within its Dantian, coupled with Shen Xuan’s provided Blood Refining Secret Power and absorbed moonlight essence.

Shen Xuan can remotely control the avatar for self-cultivation and manifestation of Divine Powers.

Its instantaneous power explosion is comparable to a Golden Core Perfection cultivator’s full-powered strike.

In mere four years, being able to create such an avatar and initially grasping [Celestial Tribulation Thunderfire] is considered quite successful.

Nevertheless, the true strength of this avatar lies not in spellcasting.

The essence is within this very flesh body.

A veritable Divine Power Realm Body Refining remnant!

Bones are tougher than steel, muscles harbor mighty force, unafraid of pain, indifferent to damage.

Close combat is its most terrifying aspect.

"Even against a Nascent Soul True Monarch, if this avatar closes in unexpectedly, it would cause them to scramble, paying a steep price!"

A flicker of cold glint flashed in Shen Xuan’s eyes.

"Having this avatar in hand, facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch now brings twice the confidence."

While reflecting, a trace of helplessness surfaced within him.

When the trees want silence, the wind won’t cease.

A grandmaster in the Divine Power Realm Body Refining and Tier Four Cultivator, yet due to lack of illustrious lineage, obliged to stoop here, using the guise of a Pill Master within a Golden Core family to conceal, silently cultivating, lurking, and developing.

With a gentle swipe of his sleeve, a new Corpse Nourishing Gourd, adorned with runes, flew out, capturing the [Blood Refining Divine Corpse] within.
