"The temperature of this Starfire is this high?"
Su Chen's brows furrowed tightly. The surrounding temperature soared extrely fast, but his own position hadn't changed; he hadn't even approached the Starfire, rely being within its covered area.
In just a brief mont, his skin was burned red, as if brushed by a branding iron.
Before this, the only Starfire he could co into contact with was the Bronze Sect's Starfire.
However, every ti he went to the inner regions, he had never felt an excessively blazing temperature, perhaps due to the Ancient King's protection.
The Lost Starfire before him was clearly unusual.
"This Sunless Embers is not just a guide, but a protection."
Su Chen realized this. Without the protection of this Purple Fla on his body, he feared he would be roasted into a dried corpse in an instant.
But this worry didn't last too long. Just as the Remnant Embers on his body gradually extinguished, and the surrounding temperature soared to a point where Su Chen found it sowhat hard to withstand, his connection with the Reality World faintly restored.
After waiting a few more breaths, it fully recovered. Su Chen hurriedly returned to the Reality World.
In just a flash of his mind, the surrounding heat vanished completely.
His skin still showed a crimson-red color. The high temperature rubbed against the air, emitting a "hissing" sound as steaming mist dispersed in all directions.
The Divine Blood before him had been completely consud, and that hair-thick Sunless Embers had subrged back into his body and disappeared.
Su Chen couldn't afford to think too much. Feeling his mouth parched and tongue dry, he hurriedly pushed open the Nether Tower and walked out, arriving at the Main Building.
"Gulp, gulp~"
Drawing water, he poured it straight into his mouth. Rolling white smoke rose from his throat; the temperature within his body was also extrely high.
"Phew..." After drinking wildly for five or six minutes, Su Chen finally recovered and let out a long breath. The surface temperature of his skin had dropped, and the Anxious heat in his heart gradually faded.
Only then did he have the ti to ponder what had just happened. "This Sunless Embers cos from that guy who calls himself Wu Ri."
"Although I don't know if he is truly the Spirit Shards left behind by a Sunless-rank Professional, this Remnant Embers can use Divine Blood as fuel to bring into the Nether Realm, to the location of that Lost Starfire."
"Gulp..." Su Chen took another sip of water, pondering secretly: "If there's enough fuel, it's highly likely it could really bring inside."
Lost Starfire... Su Chen felt a slight throb in his heart. According to the information he grasped, it was said that there was so Sunless Spirit inside that thing. To say he wasn't curious or greedy would be a lie.
If it were according to the previous situation, it was highly likely he would have to compete with the other Ancient Kings and the Divine Dawn Grade Talent possessors.
Su Chen was sowhat resistant to that kind of situation. Even if he beca The Chosen, the disadvantages in the short term far outweighed the benefits.
But if there was another chance to steal a chicken, then it would be different.
"As long as I can take a glance, just one glance is enough, that thing will be mine..."
Thinking of this, Su Chen's heart couldn't help but waver. With a gulp, he poured another mouthful of water. The coolness brought by the liquid went straight from his throat into his stomach, then decomposed toward the rest of his body.
He cald down slightly. Of course, this was the best-case scenario.
In reality, things definitely wouldn't be as simple as he thought.
"Entering is just entering. It doesn't an I'll be able to see the Sunless Spirit, and it certainly doesn't an I can see the Profession Requirents."
"Qin Yun and those guys also entered it. The result was that only Qin Yun returned heavily injured, and he's still being watched by the other Ancient Kings even now."
Thinking of this, Su Chen's heart grew even calr. "Moreover, the Sunless Spirit is clearly different from the Morning Star Spirit. Its might should be much greater. Back on Crimson Thunder Planet, if the Sovereign Stone Tablet hadn't been torn, I might not have necessarily been able to see the Profession Requirents."
"According to Qin Yun, the other Morning Star Tiers were burned to death by that Sunless Spirit. Although I don't know how much of it is true or false, at least the Ancient Kings believe it for now, which shows there's clearly such a possibility."
With my current small body, even just taking a glance, I'm afraid it would be very difficult to achieve. Su Chen carefully analyzed it, and the urgency in his heart dissipated quite a bit.
"Leaving aside whether this Solar Remnants can provide help, there's still a difficult problem that needs to be solved right now."
Su Chen felt sowhat helpless. If he wanted to approach or even enter that Lost Starfire, he had to use Divine Blood as fuel to supply the burning of the Sunless Embers, so it could guide and protect him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even last a minute in that place.
"Divine Blood..." Su Chen muttered. Igniting Morning Fire and undergoing Molten Casting Sacred Profession required Divine Blood, The Unsullied also required Divine Blood, and now this Sunless Embers also required Divine Blood.
Undergoing Molten Casting Sacred Profession required five drops. This was summarized from predecessors' experiences; there was a fixed amount.
As for The Unsullied using it for analysis, although there was no fixed amount, the requirent shouldn't be too much.
But to enter the Sunless Embers, there was no way to estimate exactly how much was needed.
If the guaranteed minimum was ten drops to enter, and he tried with eight drops, if he failed, those eight drops would be considered a waste and wouldn't be returned to him.
"The more Divine Blood, the better. It's best to succeed on the first try; otherwise, it will be a massive loss." The more Su Chen thought about it, the more his head ached. "This Divine Blood thing is not easy to get ahold of..."
Requisitioning what he needed for the Molten Casting Sacred Profession from the Sect was definitely no problem, and this was sothing that could be brought to light.
But if he kept requisitioning it, it probably wouldn't fly...
Requisitioning just one drop made Qing Cang act as if facing a formidable enemy, even needing to watch from the side. If he requisitioned five or ten drops at once, it wouldn't be so easy to explain.
What if he released so information... The mont this thought surfaced, Su Chen erased it. Experience told him that when it involved the Sunless Spirit, it was best not to test human nature. If advancing to Sunless brought things, there were simply too many: strength, status, and even Lifespan.
More importantly, Su Chen currently had a way to acquire Divine Blood from outside the Sect.
"I still have to set my sights on those old friends of mine."
Originally, Su Chen even planned to fleece the Divine Blood needed for the Molten Casting Sacred Profession from the Faceless Ghost.
But later, the Ancient King spoke up, opening the door of convenience. He thought he wouldn't have to deal with this guy, but now, after going around in circles, he still couldn't avoid it.
He just didn't want to, not that he couldn't. Having tangled with Black Buddha for so long, he had so experience.
Glancing at the ti, there were still a few hours until the Dark Sun. He rested for a mont before returning to the Training Room, and only went to the Nether Tower when the ti was about right.
Calculating the ti, estimating that the Starfire was about to reignite, he entered the Nether Realm again.
Familiar with the path, he sought out the edge area. On the ground, he engraved a facial outline devoid of facial features, and added so strange symbols around it.
What Su Chen currently disguised as was a Priest of the Faceless Ghost, not a High Priest. Accompanied by a low, deep prayer sound.
Soon, indistinct voices rang in his ears. Just like before, the overlapping voices of n, won, the elderly, and the young sounded: "It's you, my humble Believer."
This Faceless Ghost indeed still rembers . Su Chen still rembered that the first ti he contacted the Faceless Ghost, the other party initially responded in a manner similar to "artificial intelligence."
It was only after he stated he needed three portions of Divine Power that the Faceless Ghost descended with true consciousness.
"I thought you had already died by the hands of the Bronze Sect. To think you're actually still alive, it truly surprises ." The Faceless Ghost's voice was elusive and ethereal, different from Black Buddha's steadiness.
"Until I have completed your orders, I cannot die yet," Su Chen responded with his head bowed.
"Is that so?" The Faceless Ghost's tone rose and fell. "But other Believers have reported that Fan Zhao was discovered by the Bronze Sect. The three portions of Divine Power you requested from seem to have been Money Thrown into Water."
The last ti Su Chen fooled the Faceless Ghost, he said his insider within the Bronze Sect was Fan Zhao.
It seed this Faceless Ghost was also paying attention to the aftermath of the Divine Son's identity suddenly being exposed last ti.
But to Su Chen, this was a good thing. He hastily said: "Please rest assured. Although Fan Zhao was discovered, which caused to flee in a wretched state for a period of ti, I also developed a new insider during this process and learned so extrely crucial information. I hope to obtain your forgiveness."
"Oh? Let's hear it." The Faceless Ghost's voice sounded casual.
"The only Divine Dawn Grade Talent within the Bronze Sect perished not long ago."
Hearing this, the Faceless Ghost seed sowhat disappointed. "Ah~ My humble Believer, you truly disappoint too much. I already knew of this news. It was Black Buddha's thod."
Helpless, Su Chen could only put on a terrified expression and hastily said, "You are indeed omniscient, to even know the news that Black Buddha has fallen into Dormancy."
"Hmm? Black Buddha fell into Dormancy?" The Faceless Ghost was truly surprised this ti. "He actually took action personally?"
The Bronze Sect hadn't covered up this matter, nor had they provided an explanation, leading to extrely chaotic external news. Although it was known to be related to Black Buddha, there were all sorts of rumors, while only a scarce few knew the specific details.
Su Chen nodded: "That's right. It was Black Buddha who used a Flesh Body to take action personally, but was suddenly intercepted by the Bronze Ancient King, and thus fell into Dormancy."
"Heh, interesting... That old ghost Black Buddha was actually willing to pay such a great price. I'm afraid he'll have to cut off so flesh this ti."
The Faceless Ghost was quite satisfied. "Good, humble Believer. You truly surprise . If this matter is true, I allow you to prostrate yourself beneath once again."
Why is this guy so full of drama... Su Chen cursed inwardly. Black Buddha wouldn't pull so many Tricks, but he could only pretend to be wildly overjoyed.
The Faceless Ghost continued: "I will now give you a new mission. Find out clearly why exactly Black Buddha suddenly took action against that Qin Tianlin."
Taking action personally and using thods had completely different anings.
Hearing this, Su Chen imdiately responded: "I was just about to report this matter to you, but please forgive my sins."
"Oh? What sin?" The Faceless Ghost was casual. These Believers possessed absolute loyalty. Even if he ordered them to commit suicide, the other party wouldn't hesitate. What was there to forgive or not forgive?
"To investigate why Black Buddha suddenly took action against Qin Tianlin, I promised so things in your na. Please forgive my sins."
"You were actually already investigating this?" The Faceless Ghost seed surprised. "What did you promise?"
"Divine Blood," Su Chen explained.
The Faceless Ghost wasn't considered surprised. This thing called Divine Blood had many uses and was quite precious. He rely said: "The root cause of Black Buddha's action should be known to extrely few people. My humble Believer, you weren't scamd, were you?"
This guy is much harder to deal with than Black Buddha... It'll probably be hard to get sothing for nothing.
But Su Chen already had a draft in his mind. Adjusting his counterasures, he decided to release so information first, responding carefully: "According to what I currently know, the reason Black Buddha suddenly took action against Qin Tianlin seems to be because of a thing called Mist Embers."
"Mist Embers?" The Faceless Ghost was startled, then quickly ca to a realization. "No wonder Black Buddha took action personally. Soone can actually perform Purification on the Mist Embers entangled in the Bronze Fla. That was condensed from his painstaking effort; he's been salivating over that Bronze Fla for a long ti."
"It's also no wonder the Bronze Sect's Starfire suddenly improved."
These two words gave the Faceless Ghost a sense of enlightennt, connecting everything together.
"My humble Believer, I didn't expect you to be able to give so many surprises. Before even paying the Divine Blood, you've found out the reason. How much Divine Blood did you promise?" The Faceless Ghost asked.
Su Chen hesitated slightly, deliberating: "Five drops."
"Five drops?" The Faceless Ghost's voice seed a bit higher pitched. "Five drops just in exchange for these two words?"
The asking price seems a bit high... Su Chen was well prepared and hurriedly supplented: "For this news, I only promised two drops of Divine Blood. The remaining three drops are because of another matter."
"What other matter?" The Faceless Ghost was genuinely surprised. This Believer he hadn't contacted in a long ti was actually so capable.
"After that Qin Tianlin died, the Five Great Sects discovered a wisp of Purple Fla within his body. There was also a guy possessing consciousness existing within it. It seems to be sothing Qin Yun brought out from that Lost Starfire..."
"What?" The Faceless Ghost was shocked and doubtful. The churning speed of the grey-white mist in the surroundings accelerated. "A Spirit Shards retaining consciousness brought out from the Lost Starfire. Are you certain?"
Su Chen hurriedly explained, "The person I contacted saw it with their own eyes. Moreover, that conscious entity seems to have reached so sort of agreent with the Five Great Sects."
"But if I want to obtain more information, the other party requires to fulfill the promise first and put forth an additional three drops of Divine Blood."
The Faceless Ghost pondered deeply, "No wonder the Five Great Sects went Aggressive and Imposing to the Bronze Sect, yet in the end, there was no sound. It seems that Qin Yun really did discover sothing in the Lost Starfire."
"Are you certain the other party will tell you the ins and outs after obtaining the Divine Blood?" The Faceless Ghost's Suspicion seed to be naturally quite heavy.
Su Chen's voice was solemn: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to ensure this matter. However, according to my observation, the other party should be trustworthy."
"Who is the person you contacted this ti?" The Faceless Ghost pursued.
If it were Lao Hei, there definitely wouldn't be this many questions... Su Chen thought inwardly, explaining: "The Star Seeds of the True Martial Sect, Sheng Huaixu."
"To actually be able to To Contact him, it seems you also have a rather peculiar experience."
The Faceless Ghost pondered deeply. It wasn't this Believer he distrusted, but the person the other party contacted. Since they had this identity, knowing these secrets was normal.
And soon, drops of translucent liquid surfaced in the grey-white mist lingering by Su Chen's side. Within them, indistinct human faces could be faintly seen.
"Do not disappoint , humble Believer," the Faceless Ghost emphasized. These five drops of Divine Blood were not a small number for him either.
"Please rest assured," Su Chen responded hastily. After the surrounding grey-white mist dispersed, he quickly wiped away the engravings on the ground.
Looking at the Divine Blood before him, he deliberated slightly. "I just don't know if these five drops are enough to enter the Lost Starfire."
Su Chen temporarily had no desire to gamble. "Five drops is still too few, not secure. Let's try The Unsullied first."
If it wasn't enough for The Unsullied's needs, they could spit it back out to him. But if it wasn't enough for the Lost Starfire, it would truly be burned clean.
