It actually succeeded?
Hearing this, Qing Cang's expression turned dazed for a mont.
Given Su Chen's current strength, along with his past of withstanding the erosion of Evil God Power, Qing Cang hadn't dismissed the possibility of a successful purification.
But wasn't this a bit too fast?
Imdiately after, Qing Cang's expression couldn't help but beco invigorated. "With this, once Su Chen advances to the 6th-tier, he can attempt to purify the Mist Embers wrapping the outside of the Starfire."
His eyes harbored hope. The Crisis of the Flas had plagued the sect for a long ti, tying the Ancient King down firmly here like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of everyone in the Bronze Sect, liable to slash down at any mont.
Even with the Ancient King bearing the brunt, it was hard for anyone not to worry when thinking about it on ordinary days. Now that they saw hope, how could they not be rejoiced?
The Bronze Ancient King's projection solidified slightly, seemingly letting out a breath as his emotions had already cald down. Hearing what Qing Cang said, he gently shook his head: "It is not as simple as you think. The tier of the Mist Embers is different. This was only a weak grade Mist Ember, while the ones you all attempted previously are one tier higher than this."
"Not only is its overall intensity greater, but as Su Chen ntioned about fighting at the sa tier, the strength of the Evil God evolved by the Mist Ember will be considerably stronger. The 6th-tier might be sowhat difficult."
He pondered slightly, pacing back and forth, showing that his state of mind was not as tranquil as it appeared on the surface. "No matter what, he will have to reach the 7th-tier and undergo the Forging of a Sacred Class so his foundation can increase further."
As the tier of the targeted target for erosion increased to the 7th-tier, the Evil God evolved by the Mist Ember would naturally rise to the 7th-tier as well.
However, what increased was only the tier; the inherent accumulated foundation would not increase.
Su Chen was different; he was still too young and needed to increase his foundation. If he could successfully complete the Forging of a Sacred Class, his strength would take another massive leap forward.
"Even so..." The Bronze Ancient King paused, his eyes seemingly brightening a bit. "We have indeed seen hope..."
He didn't expect Su Chen to be able to completely purify all the Mist Embers wrapping the Starfire, but rely dealing with the outermost layer he had separated himself would be a great help to him.
At the very least, it could extend the ti the Starfire could be maintained, supporting him to more ticulously select a successor, rather than only being able to choose Qin Yun.
Thinking of this, even with his state of mind, he couldn't help but feel sowhat agitated at this mont.
This was the Mist Embers, after all; an extre substance specially manufactured by the Evil Gods to target Professional Spirituality and Starfire.
Without being stimulated by special thods, it wouldn't even react to ordinary biological creatures, which showed just how high its specifications were.
Finding soone to face it head-on was already his last resort when there was no other way, yet he had actually managed to find soone.
"Junior Brother, oh Junior Brother..." The Bronze Ancient King thought of sothing unknown, his gaze becoming deeper.
In the distance, the Starfire was forced to retreat under the harassnt of the Mist Embers, but it also seed much more elated.
'Much simpler than last ti...' Su Chen exhaled. With his previous experience, coupled with his significantly improved strength, he handled the task quick as a flash.
Just as he opened his eyes, he saw Qing Cang and the Ancient King, four eyes staring straight at him.
Feeling slightly shocked inwardly, Su Chen feigned ignorance on his face. Looking at the pure and flawless substance before him, he asked, "Is this considered purified?"
"Correct," the Bronze Ancient King reached out his hand, and the Mist Source in Su Chen's hand drifted over. "This is the Mist Source after purification."
His words inevitably carried a hint of emotion.
"What's the situation? How could it be so fast?" Qing Cang asked curiously.
Su Chen's gaze remained fixed on the Mist Source. Hearing this, he casually explained, "After going in, there was a guy similar to Black Buddha waiting for , and then I figured out a way to defeat him."
It was that simple? For a mont, Qing Cang was lost for words, unable to speak for quite a while.
The Bronze Ancient King had already noticed Su Chen's gaze and asked with a smile, "What, are you interested in this Mist Source?"
Having finally waited for the Ancient King to ask, Su Chen put on an expression of words caught in his throat, hesitating as he said, "I don't know what's going on either, but I faintly feel that sothing inside my body seems to be very thirsty for it."
With a bit of caution, he asked, "Master, could you bestow this thing upon ?"
He didn't dare to ask whether the Ancient King needed it first; in the one in ten thousand chance that the Bronze Ancient King said he needed it, he'd be stumped. It was better to just ask for it directly.
"Thirsty?" The Bronze Ancient King seed slightly surprised. His two eyes blood with cyan light, sweeping over Su Chen, but he didn't discover any special circumstances.
"Normal lifeforms cannot undergo fusion with this Mist Source. Why would you feel a thirst?" The Bronze Ancient King seed to be asking a question, but before Su Chen could think of an excuse, he continued with a hint of speculation, "Could it be that the thirst is generated because of the Spirit Attunent? That its essence is the spirituality of the Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted? But isn't it anchored in the Stone Slab?"
"I don't know either..." Su Chen looked very honest.
The Bronze Ancient King pondered slightly, then tossed it over casually, "There is no harm in giving it to you. Try touching it by following that feeling first and see what reaction there is."
He was curious too. To this day, research into Professional Spirituality still held many unsolved mysteries, and even he couldn't explain them clearly.
"Alright, I'll try." Su Chen complied readily, taking the Mist Source once again. He couldn't put it into his inventory space right now, so he could only let the Great Exalted swallow it directly.
As Su Chen pondered, along with the drifting of his thoughts, the Mist Source in his hand suddenly vanished.
The panel appeared—[The Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted has consud the Mist Source, emitting light as certain changes occurred to its attraction. He expresses gratitude for your generosity and can help you complete the Forging of a Sacred Class once.]
Directly complete the Forging of a Sacred Class?
Su Chen's body shuddered. He originally thought it would be the sa reward as last ti, but it seed even more precious this ti.
Under normal circumstances, to undergo the Forging of a Sacred Class, one had to find Spirit Fire and use Divine Blood as fuel. Neither of these two prerequisite requirents was simple.
But now, with a wave of his hand, the Great Exalted could seemingly handle it directly.
'The Great Exalted seems to be getting stronger. Is it because of devouring the Mist Source?'
Su Chen muttered to himself, feeling very satisfied. Even if he reached the Divine Dawn Grade, it wasn't as if he could just undergo Forging whenever he wanted; he still needed Divine Blood as fuel, not to ntion that his tamorphosis to the Divine Dawn Grade was still nowhere in sight.
With this, once he reached the 6th-tier and completed the final Class Sequence for Eternal Physique, he could undergo Forging directly. Tsk tsk...
"It's gone?" The Bronze Ancient King frowned tightly. He had been paying attention to Su Chen the entire ti, yet he hadn't discovered exactly how the Mist Source had vanished, feeling quite amazed inwardly.
'It really seems to be the work of spirituality. Is the spirituality of the Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted this active?'
"How does it feel?" the Bronze Ancient King inquired.
Su Chen looked bewildered: "I don't know, I didn't feel anything."
"It's probably the work of spirituality." The Bronze Ancient King didn't pay it much mind. Even if it was the work of spirituality, devouring this tiny bit of Mist Source wouldn't have much effect.
Su Chen nodded in a seemingly understanding manner. Sure enough, these big shots would automatically fill in the blanks in their heads for things they couldn't figure out.
Seeing the Ancient King's gaze turn toward the Starfire again, Su Chen imdiately picked up the conversation: "Please rest assured, I will definitely advance to the 6th-tier as soon as possible, and then I will exert all my effort to purify the Mist Embers, helping the sect's Starfire see the light of day once again!"
"There is no rush." The Bronze Ancient King's tone was mild. "The 6th-tier is still a bit early. It won't be too late after you reach the 7th-tier and undergo Forging of a Sacred Class."
He then explained, "As the tier of the Mist Embers increases, the intensity you face will also rise. Given your foundation, the probability will be highest after undergoing the Forging of a Sacred Class."
"However," he added, "once you reach the 6th-tier, you can co and give it a try."
The Bronze Ancient King understood young people fairly well. For many things, if you didn't let them experience it personally and only relied on oral explanations, it would be difficult to convince them.
Especially since Su Chen had just purified the Mist Ember; saying this made it seem sowhat like he lacked confidence in him.
"I will follow your orders entirely." Su Chen's face didn't show any other expression.
'He's able to maintain his composure...' The Bronze Ancient King nodded secretly, pondering, "You are already the Top Ranker of the 6th-tier, and the sect's resource supply can keep up with you. You only need to advance step by step; don't put too much pressure on yourself either."
A slight stir occurred in Su Chen's heart; the Ancient King seed to be considering if there was anywhere he needed help.
But within the sect, the resources were sufficient, the Fortune Bronze Core had remaining uses, and the environnt was safe. Under normal circumstances, there were basically no extra needs.
But he was different... Su Chen's eyes flickered. For a short period of ti, this seed to be his only opportunity. Glancing at the Starfire, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I have a request."
"Oh?" The Bronze Ancient King was sowhat surprised, as well as a bit curious. "What could it be that requires you to ask ?"
Given Su Chen's current status, for matters concerning himself, there shouldn't be anything he couldn't handle.
Su Chen's voice was heavy. "Could I ask Master to help request a portion of Marrow of the Morning Star from the Royal Court?"
Other things were easy to discuss, but this Marrow of the Morning Star was a specialty of the Royal Court. He truly had no channels to obtain it, except through this Ancient King.
Marrow of the Morning Star?
This thing again. Qing Cang frowned slightly; he had been sowhat suspicious when Su Chen brought it up last ti.
Now it seed... this kid really wanted to get his hands on a portion.
Following that, Su Chen added, "If any materials are needed, I might find it difficult to provide them right now, but they can be converted into Contribution Points, and I will definitely make up for it."
"Marrow of the Morning Star..." The Bronze Ancient King appeared thoughtful. "That is a specialty of the Royal Court. It needs to be extracted from a Morning Star Tier, which causes a certain degree of damage to them. It can assist in completing profession requirents related to the body."
"But given your current situation, you can't use it. What do you need that thing for?"
This was no longer sothing that could be casually obtained; it involved contacting the Royal Court, so he had to ask a little bit.
Su Chen wasn't surprised, hesitating slightly: "Actually, there is one thing I hid from you. The abnormal movent of the Ancient King Monunt a while ago..."
"It's related to the Stele Spirit's abnormal movent?" The Bronze Ancient King grew increasingly curious.
Su Chen hesitated as he said, "At the ti, I was developing my profession's progress, but I suddenly saw the phantom image of the Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted appear. It seed to have extracted sothing from my body and left behind the words 'Marrow of the Morning Star.' Right after that, the Ancient King Monunt arrived..."
"The phantom image of the Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted?" The Bronze Ancient King's expression shifted slightly. With a re stretch of his hand, ripples spread through the void in front of him, and a stone stele erged—it was exactly the Ancient King Monunt.
"It really is gone..." Seeing the main body of the Stele remain completely silent, the Bronze Ancient King beca even more amazed. "I have seen this Spirit Attunent before, but I have truly never seen it to this extent, to have actually swallowed a wisp of the Stele Spirit's spirituality."
"Is the Marrow of the Morning Star needed by the spirituality?"
'It could actually be verified?' Su Chen looked at the Ancient King Monunt before him, rejoicing that his lie still contained three parts truth.
After pondering for a mont, the Bronze Ancient King said, "This item is extrely rare even within the Royal Court. I can ask around, but as you know, the current situation is special. It is difficult for to guarantee I can actually obtain it."
"Then I will trouble you." Su Chen hurriedly said, letting out a breath of relief inwardly. He finally had a way to deal with this thorny problem of the Marrow of the Morning Star.
Because of Qin Yun's matter, it indeed might not succeed, but at least there was a glimr of hope.
Without seeing the Ancient King make any movent, Su Chen only felt his vision spin, and they had already returned to the Ancient King Palace.
Qing Cang, being sensible, said, "Master, then the two of us will take our leave first."
"Go," the Bronze Ancient King nodded. After watching the two leave, his gaze fell on the Spiritual Anchor Statue of the Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted to one side, seeming doubtful. "Could it really have beco that active..."
Wrapped in Gale-Stream Power, the two headed toward the Bronze Core. On the way back, Qing Cang was no longer in a rush.
Looking at Su Chen with suspicion, he said, "The phantom image of the Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted? Spirituality can even manifest into a physical body? Why haven't I ever heard of this before?"
Seeing that Qing Cang was still curious, Su Chen thought for a mont and asked, "Senior Brother, how long have you been following Master?"
Qing Cang frowned slightly, not knowing why Su Chen was asking this. But since it involved Master, he pondered briefly: "Counting the ti, it should be over four hundred years."
"That long, huh," Su Chen sighed emotionally, then muttered, "But the Ancient King isn't as intensely curious as you..."
His voice wasn't loud, but Qing Cang's face darkened, glaring at him fiercely. If this had been his disciple, he would have started beating him up long ago.
Thinking of this, he grew even more indignant, saying in a bad mood, "Junior Brother Su, how about I send you back to your floating island?"
"Send back to the Bronze Core. I need to visit the Spirit Hall to select a Primary Class," Su Chen responded.
"Selecting a Primary Class?" Qing Cang suppressed his emotions and asked, "Have you already found soone to analyze it for you?"
Su Chen nodded, "Yes, I've already had soone analyze it."
He didn't need any analysis. After finding two compatible fire and lightning professions and recording them, he just needed to advance.
Qing Cang nodded. Along the way, he had words caught in his throat several tis, but whenever he thought of Su Chen's subtle passive-aggressiveness just now, he lost the mood for it.
It wasn't until they returned to the Bronze Core that he dropped Su Chen off.
"Alright, go busy yourself. I still need to go build the Satellite City, so don't co looking for if there's nothing important." Leaving a sentence behind, Qing Cang turned away and collapsed into a stream of wind, vanishing.
"Such a big temper?" Su Chen muttered secretly. Fortunately, he hadn't beco his student back then.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly ca to a realization. "'Build a Satellite City? To serve as the venue for the Peak Star Tournant?'"
He couldn't help but look up at the three Satellite Cities orbiting the Bronze Core in specific trajectories, looking hazy and indistinct due to the considerable distance.
'Truly wealthy and overbearing,' he clicked his tongue inwardly. Finding his bearings, he headed toward the Spirit Hall.
At the Bronze Core, deep within the Qin Family Compound, the lighting in a room was dim, the curtains all drawn shut.
One could vaguely see a person sitting on the sofa, his entire body sunk into it. It was exactly Qin Tianlin.
His fists resting on the armrests were clenched tightly, the knuckles already turned white. The veins on his wrists throbbed, his brows tightly locked together, and his eyes firmly closed.
More than half a day had passed since he ca out of the Challenge Room, yet Su Chen's face still floated before his eyes from ti to ti.
