Chapter 1071: The Divine Dragon Island and the Sycamore Mountain Goes to War, the
Alchemist Immortal He Yun, the Qingzhou Cauldron
On Sycamore Mountain, Huang Yinghong returned with the jade scroll Chu Kuangren had given her and handed it over to Qing Feng. The moment Qing Feng read its contents, her expression changed. “D*mn the Divine Dragon Island! How dare they do such a thing!”
The truth of the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique was written on that jade scroll.
She pondered for a while.
If she were to go to her father hastily and tell him about that, he would never believe it. She might even attract the attention of those who were involved…
“I better get to the bottom of this.”
“Yinghong, come with me to the Divine Dragon Island. Let’s go under the pretense of catching up with Huang Yan and see how they react,” Qing Feng said.
The both of them then set off with one of the elders to the Divine Dragon Island.
However, they did not manage to meet with Huang Yan there.
The people over there kept giving excuses about not letting them meet Huang Yan, which solidified the truth of the contents written on the jade scroll even more.
Then, Qing Feng noticed that the Divine Dragon Island had been dealing with the Golden Dragon Young Master’s funeral, which was mainly around the cave where he previously lived.
One time, when everyone was not paying attention, she sneaked into the Golden Dragon Young Master’s cave to find a pool of blood inside.
The pool was not only filled with dragon’s blood but phoenix’s blood too!
She was shocked and horrified by that.
“It seems like Huang Yan has been killed.”
“You should’ve died ten times over for what you did, Golden Dragon Young Master!”
She took some evidence of what happened and quickly left the area.
After that, the few of them quietly returned to Sycamore Mountain.
They reported the matter to the two Mountain Rulers.
“I see. Curse you, Golden Dragon Young Master and Divine Dragon Island! How dare you kill the Phoenix Maiden just to cultivate the Dragon Phoenix Immortal Physique!”
The Feng Mountain Ruler’s expression was grim.
“In that case, let’s go to war with them!”
If it were in the past, he would have had to consider the difference in power between Sycamore Mountain and Divine Dragon Island. However, there was no need to do that now.
After Chu Kuangren’s rampage on the Divine Dragon Island, the Divine Dragon Island has suffered serious damages and losses.
The Divine Dragon Island today was no longer a force that could rival the Sycamore Mountain.
In the beginning, the Feng Mountain Ruler had wanted to borrow the strength of the Divine Dragon Island with the marriage back then to go against the Heavenly Yokai Hall, and in turn, make the Golden Dragon Young Master the Heavenly Champion.
However, now that the Divine Dragon Island was heavily injured and the Golden Dragon Young Master was dead, there was nothing that the Divine Dragon Island could provide them anymore.
The Sycamore Mountain might as well conquer them!
“Once we conquer Divine Dragon Island, our Sycamore Mountain will surely grow stronger. Sure enough, the union with the Divine Dragon Island was a great turning point for my Sycamore Mountain. Because of the Golden Dragon Young Master who killed Huang Yan, we now have a reason to attack the Divine Dragon Island.”
The Feng Mountain Ruler’s eyes lit up with delight.
Soon after, news of the Sycamore Mountain declaring war against the Divine Dragon Island spread throughout the Immortal World.
It was truly a mess outside there.
Meanwhile, it was nothing but peaceful inside the Hundred Academy.
After handing over the Tushan Scripture to Lil Fox, Chu Kuangren distributed all the treasures and Opportunities of Fortune he got from the Ancient Immortal Ruins.
However, he kept the Nourishing Spiritual Jade Sap for himself.
It was time his Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement improved as well.
After giving a lecture to the disciples of the academy, he went into closed-door meditation.
Several months later, a mighty burst of Immortal Consciousness energy fluctuation emerged.
That fluctuation was so powerful that everyone trembled the moment they sensed it. However, that Immortal Consciousness energy fluctuation quickly disappeared like a receding tide.
“The eighth cycle!”
Chu Kuangren opened his eyes.
Now that his Nine-Cycle Trinity Soul Refinement had reached the eighth cycle, his Immortal Soul was even more powerful than a Heavenly Immortal’s soul.
“Then again, I’ve only reached the initial stages of the eighth cycle. If I want to separate into three Immortal Souls, I’d have to increase my soul energy by another threefold.”
“Once I perfect the eighth cycle, I’ll have to recombine my three souls to step into the ninth cycle, which will be an even more difficult task,” Chu Kuangren mumbled.
Items that strengthen an individual’s soul energy were very rare.
It was because Chu Kuangren had the Fantasy Roulette that he could occasionally obtain those items. That was why his Immortal Soul could become so powerful so fast.
If it were anyone else, they would never reach his level, even if they spent their whole lives cultivating their soul energy.
“It’s time I deal with this thing now.” Chu Kuangren took out a ball of golden light, a three-legged copper furnace, and a dragon’s head.
Those were the items he obtained from battling the Fated One at the Ancient Immortal Ruins.
The ball of golden light was the will of the Immortal World.
Upon analyzing it with his Omniscient Spirit, Chu Kuangren found that it contained a huge amount of mysterious Daoist patterns within it. Those Daoist patterns could accelerate a person’s understanding of the Dao on top of rapidly increasing their cultivation level.
However, once he refined the will of the Immortal World, it would mean that he also took on the identity of a Fated One. Then, he would be tied to the will of the Planquilon Immortal World and would need to participate in the battle of the Heavenly Champions in the future.
However, that only applied to others because Chu Kuangren was not subjected to this restriction.
He could refine the will with his Heavenly Devouring Daoist Art and remove the restriction of being a Fated One.
That way, the will of the Immortal World could never control him.
Nevertheless, he did not refine that item right away.
“Seven lights converge into one makes the Heavenly Champion, huh? I’m curious to find out what will happen once the seven lights have converged.”
After some pondering, he kept that piece of the will of the Immortal World.
Then, he looked at the three-legged bronze furnace.
Without another word, he slammed his palm into it. The bronze furnace trembled violently due to his terrifying energy, and eventually, cracks started to appear on the surface.
A wisp of green smoke appeared from it and turned into a dignified elderly man in green robes. The elderly man looked at Chu Kuangren with a horrified expression, as if he was a monster or a devil.
“Rumor has it that Lin Yan could dominate the whole Planquilon Immortal World with his alchemy. I suppose you must be the one behind this, right?” said Chu Kuangren apathetically as he stared at the green-robed elderly man.
His Omniscient Spirit started analyzing the elderly man.
Soon, Chu Kuangren knew all the information about the elderly man.
The elderly man was the Alchemist Immortal He Yun, the Thousand Flames Valley Leader!
“I can’t believe an anomaly like you has appeared in this era.”
“Are those your final words?” said Chu Kuangren indifferently as he raised his hand, fully prepared to kill He Yun. Since the elderly man was a fragmanted Immortal soul, Chu Kuangren could easily kill him.
“Hold on. Don’t you want to become a great Alchemist Immortal? I can teach you and make you into a powerful one!” He Yun said with horror. He did not expect Chu Kuangren to kill him so simply.
“I’m not interested.”
He was already a great Alchemist Immortal himself, so there was no need for pointers or guidance.
“Wait, wait! I also have a secret to share.”
“Oh, out with it then.”
“The Thousand Flame Valley was once a powerful ancient immortal orthodoxy well-known throughout the Immortal World. It was all because of a powerful divine fire, ranked thirteen on the Divine Fire List, called the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame!”
“Even until this day, the divine fire is there in the ruins of the Thousand Flame Valley. If you promise not to kill me, I can lead you to this Karmic Flame.”
At that, Chu Kuangren became interested.
Ranked thirteen on the Divine Fire List, huh?
What a wonderful find indeed. After all, the top twenty divine fires were well-known and powerful treasures even in the once complete Immortal World.
Although his Phoenix’s Flame was ranked third because it was the Essence of All Flames, it still had not developed completely. If he could devour this Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame, it would surely strengthen his Phoenix’s Flame greatly.
“Congratulations, you’ve managed to extend your life,” Chu Kuangren said.
However, his hand still landed not on the man but the three-legged copper furnace instead. With a bang, the surface of the three-legged copper furnace cracked open, revealing the form of a three-legged copper cauldron.
That was the true form of the copper furnace.
“One of the Nine Province Cauldrons, the Qingzhou Cauldron!”
