Reflected in Su Chen's pupils was the giant fireball before him. According to what the Remnant Spirit said previously, the Abyssal Void had various Ritual Sacrifices, far more complex and nurous than what was recorded in the Dust Star Sea.
There were sacrifices made to fallen Solar Ranks, utilizing their left-behind traces to accomplish certain things, like tracking, curse-killing, and the like.
There were also sacrifices made to living Solar Ranks. The Materials consud were mainly Faith Essence and Divine Blood.
However, it's worth ntioning that this kind of Ritual Sacrifice was different from the situation between Believers and Evil Gods. It seed to be a kind of equivalent exchange.
And what's interesting was that this kind of sacrifice would not touch the Solar Rank itself. Even for a living Solar Rank, they would not have any response to these sacrifices.
The Remnant Spirit once ntioned that if one explored to a deeper level, it was better said to be sacrificing to the Spirit of the Vast Sun behind them, rather than sacrificing to the Solar Rank.
Su Chen still rembered the sentence he asked the Remnant Spirit when he learned of these things: "Then aren't Professionals just agents of Spirituality? Or speaking severely, equivalent to puppets."
Morning Stars, Radiant Moons, and Solar Ranks constantly alternated, but their Professions and Spirituality could exist for a long ti.
The Morning Star Tier was fine. After all, the Spirituality was relatively weak, and its Spirituality could even be divided to forge Morning Star Artifacts. But reaching Radiant Moon and even Solar Rank was different.
That Spirit of the Vast Sun in the Starfire was like a living person. If a disagreent of opinions occurred, by then, who would listen to whom?
Facing his question, the Remnant Spirit naturally couldn't give an answer. Not to ntion him, even in the Abyssal Void, no one could answer it.
Seeing this thing getting bigger and bigger, Su Chen had already retreated from the Training Room. The floor and ceiling were both burned with large holes, and the edges had turned into molten tal dripping down.
"This isn't a matter of the commotion being a bit big. This is very big, and..." Su Chen frowned slightly. He rembered one thing; he had forgotten to ask how many days the refining would take.
Just as he removed the shielding and prepared to ask the Remnant Spirit, he heard a burst of wailing: "Scram, scram!"
Miserable and painful.
"Taixu?" Su Chen paused, calling out hesitantly.
Only then did he suddenly rember that previously, the Remnant Spirit seed to have been guarded by the Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted. But the Great Exalted was currently undergoing tamorphosis, and it seed the Remnant Spirit had encountered a mishap again.
Hearing his voice, the Remnant Spirit seed sowhat in disbelief. Its words were even faintly mixed with joy: "You finally responded."
Perhaps because his voice sounded, it triggered so kind of change. Su Chen discovered that the Remnant Spirit's wailing also stopped, imdiately followed by its voice turning stern: "Su Chen!"
It then softened again, seemingly still carrying grievance, "Since falling into your hands, I've been quite cooperative. To the things you asked, I told you everything I knew without holding anything back. Why did you let these few guys torture !?"
Its voice grew increasingly higher and more impassioned as it spoke, until at the end it was almost roaring. At the sa ti, it curled up into a ball. Standing before it was a Blood Vajra. Beside it was a solid and heavy burly man. Not far away, there was also a blurry figure whose entire body was shrouded in gray mist.
Imdiately after, it couldn't help but look at that giant fireball extrely far away.
Not long ago, the colossal giant that had been holding it the whole ti underwent so unknown change. It roared a few tis, and suddenly it was wrapped in flas, becoming the scene before it.
It dropped from the other party's hand, unclear of the situation. It originally thought an opportunity had co and planned to explore this place, but as a result, it was targeted by these three guys.
To be more accurate, there was originally only one, which was that grayish-black shadow. It seed to treat it as a toy, tossing it around for fun.
Later, the other two guys seed to also take an interest, actually starting to fight over it with that grayish-black shadow. Each guy wanted to play with it for a while.
Pain was one aspect; more crucially, this kind of humiliation was unprecedented.
After listening to the Remnant Spirit's tearful accusation, Su Chen's cheek twitched. The Blood Vajra was probably World-Slaying Manifestation, the solid burly man was likely Eternal Physique, and the shadow was definitely Flash-Shadow Body.
These three guys all seed to want to play with the Remnant Spirit for a bit, and even started fighting as a result. He was also sowhat speechless and comforted: "This was my negligence, I will warn them."
The resentnt in the Remnant Spirit's heart could not be added to. Its anger naturally wasn't sothing Su Chen could dispel with In a Few Words, but right now, it didn't have any qualifications to lash out either. It could only forcefully press down the anger in its heart.
But upon hearing this, it also felt secretly alard. These guys, every single one of them looked very peculiar and eerie, yet they actually truly obeyed Su Chen's orders.
It was even exaggerated to the point that as soon as Su Chen's voice sounded, the three's movents stopped.
Imdiately after, it saw the three of them seemingly exchange glances, then each stood around it. No one made a move anymore, seemingly jointly guarding it.
"Alright, they won't tease you for no reason from now on." Su Chen's voice ca from an unknown location. The Remnant Spirit remained silent for a long while before reluctantly saying: "That's good."
For Su Chen to Putting on an Act and say an apology was already on account of this guy still being useful. Naturally, he wouldn't drag on about this matter with it, asking directly: "How long will refining Qin Yun take?"
"Refining Qin Yun?" The Remnant Spirit was startled, "You got your hands on Qin Yun's corpse?"
"I already have it. It's being refined right before my eyes right now. The commotion is a bit big. About how many days does it take?" Su Chen emphasized again.
"Between three and five days. Given that he's a Lower Morning Star, it shouldn't take too long." The Remnant Spirit replied.
"Lower Morning Star?" Su Chen didn't pay attention to the tifra at the end, but instead caught a term he had never heard before. He imdiately beca interested, "What does this an, Morning Star divisions?"
"You could say that. The lack of relevant knowledge regarding Morning Star and above on your side is extrely severe."
The Remnant Spirit wasn't surprised by this. After all, it had also stayed on Qin Yun for a period of ti, and had even explained it to Qin Yun. It imdiately brought that passage out again, made slight modifications, and roughly repeated:
"After Advancing to Morning Star, Class Developnt is no longer slowly pushed forward mainly with Body Tempering Technique and ditation thod, but requires Fla Tempering."
"Fla Tempering?" Su Chen quietly waited for the continuation.
The Remnant Spirit continued: "That's right, Fla Tempering of the Morning Star Fire. Three paths and below are Lower Morning Stars, above four paths and six paths and below are Middle Morning Stars, and above six paths and nine paths and below are Upper Morning Stars."
"Every ti a path of Morning Fire is tempered, one's self will welco a massive enhancent."
This was truly Su Chen's first ti hearing relevant information. He pursued the question, "How does one do Fla Tempering?"
The Remnant Spirit responded: "Fla Tempering requires specialized techniques. Every kind of Profession is different. I stayed on Qin Yun; the Ascension Refining he used was extrely crude and incomplete."
"That's not right..." After slightly pondering, Su Chen suddenly reacted, "If that's the case, then how were the various Ancient Kings born? They definitely must have beco Upper Morning Stars before they could advance to Radiant Moon, right?"
"I guess it should be Ethereal Fla agency."
It didn't wait for Su Chen to ask and provided the answer. It had said the sa words to Qin Yun once before, "Before the Radiant Moons on your side die, they will select a successor. Using themselves to influence the Radiant Moon Spirit, they then decompose the Radiant Moon fire, birthing Ethereal Fla, and having them hold it."
"This thod also exists in the Abyssal Void. The cost is the life of the Radiant Moon. That's why the Radiant Moons on your side alternate extrely fast. They alternate once every two or three thousand years. This is far from the Lifespan limit of the Bright Moon Tier."
Su Chen suddenly understood.
So it was at the cost of the Radiant Moon's life to create another Radiant Moon.
He associated this with many things, and couldn't help but ask: "The rate of Fla Tempering shouldn't be the sa either, right? Can Talent influence the speed of Fla Tempering?"
"Of course it can." The Remnant Spirit said.
Hearing these words, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If Talent couldn't influence this so-called Fla Tempering speed, then he wouldn't need to continue stacking it up. Who knew where the limit of this Talent lay.
The Remnant Spirit continued: "What influences Fla Tempering speed is not only Talent, but also the level of the 'Ascension Refining' and the number of Holy Classes. The higher the tier of the Ascension Refining, and the more nurous and powerful the Holy Classes, the faster the Fla Tempering speed."
Su Chen raised an eyebrow. The level of 'Ascension Refining' was probably a quality issue; this point wasn't hard for him to understand. But the number of Holy Classes could actually also influence it?
He was thoughtful. Compared to the Abyssal Void, the Dust Star Sea was clearly lagging behind in many matters.
Precisely because of this, unless it ca to a specific matter, he had no way of asking about it.
Su Chen inquired further in-depth. The Remnant Spirit did know these basic pieces of information.
But regarding anything more specific, the Remnant Spirit beca vague again, still saying it didn't rember.
"F*ck, it got bigger!"
Right at this mont, Su Chen's eyelids jumped. He only felt scorching heat before his eyes. That fireball had expanded another circle, having already burned through most of the Main Building. The surrounding temperature skyrocketed, and flas had already ignited.
It was quite eye-catching even when viewed from extrely far away.
"This... this fireball..." Movent suddenly ca by his ear. It was Lin Langtian who hadn't been gone for long. He had turned back, looking at the massive fireball before him with tightly locked brows. "Why does this fire look so much like..."
His Thoughts turned, and he looked aside again. Wind and waves billowed, and a figure descended. It was Qing Cang arriving.
"What is going on with this fire?"
He walked close, his expression solemn. Staring at the fireball before him, a flash of Suspicion passed through his eyes. Why did this fire look like the scene when a Morning Star transford into fire.
Learning that the energy fluctuations on Su Chen's Floating Island were extrely violent, Qing Cang rushed over at the first mont.
Right now, nothing could go wrong with this kid no matter what.
"Ca so fast." Su Chen muttered on the side, not responding to Qing Cang's words.
Qing Cang thought for a mont. With just a wave of his hand, circles of pale-cyan Streaking Light slithered out from the void like spirit snakes, gently and swiftly winding around the periphery of the fireball.
The cyan wind, like water, condensed into a protective barrier, isolating the high temperature and heatwaves.
Turning around, he looked at Lin Langtian, "Head of Seat Lin, we still need you to go back and guard the Heavenly Pivot Seat. I'm afraid you can't stay in the Bronze Core for too long."
This was clearly because he had words to say to Su Chen. Lin Langtian gave a Bitter Smile: "Understood, I will head back as soon as possible."
The relationship between the Bronze Core and these Heads of Seats was actually very subtle. On one hand, they needed them to guard the outside. On the other hand, they had to avoid their Factions expanding too much and suppressing the Bronze Core's prestige.
After watching Lin Langtian leave, Qing Cang looked at that massive sphere wrapped in the wind currents. The sphere had already stopped expanding. He suddenly said: "Is that Qin Yun inside?"
This wasn't hard to guess, and Su Chen nodded honestly: "Mhm."
"What did you do to him?" Qing Cang couldn't grasp it either. Qin Yun was clearly already dead; it should be impossible for him to transform into fire again. But the scene before him clearly looked like he was transforming into fire.
Su Chen hesitated and said: "Waste utilization..."
"Waste utilization?" Qing Cang glanced at him. This kid was now too lazy to even try and fool him. Before, no matter what he did, he would at least co up with a reason.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, Qing Cang's expression shifted slightly. He pressed on Su Chen's shoulder and retreated a long distance away. They only saw the wrapping wind current suddenly torn open with a rift, and billowing flas spewed out.
"The might isn't small." Qing Cang muttered to himself. A surge of power had already run through Su Chen's entire body once.
"Ordinary and unexceptional." He couldn't help but be astonished. Su Chen's bodily condition actually had not much difference from an ordinary 7th-Tier, it was just that his physical strength was slightly higher.
He sowhat couldn't figure out how exactly this kid managed to withstand a strike from Qin Yun.
However, at least there was no Evil God Aura, and as for other abnormalities, there were none either.
Qin Yun's words right before his death flashed past his mind.
Su Chen looked at Qing Cang's retracting palm, secretly speechless. Lao Qing's acting skills actually weren't that good.
But he didn't take it to heart, turning his head and bringing up: "Right, Senior Brother. Does the Sect still have any Evil God Power stock? I want to retrieve so."
"Retrieving Evil God Power again?" Qing Cang frowned slightly, "There is so Evil God Power, but not much."
Compared to the uses of Divine Blood and Faith Essence, the conventional uses of Evil God Power weren't many. It could even be said to be extrely few. Aside from the ones delivered to their doorsteps, the Bronze Sect and the various major Sects wouldn't specially go and collect it.
"Just transfer however much there is." Su Chen accepted it reluctantly.
"Transfer however much there is?" Qing Cang almost laughed in anger, saying in a bad mood, "Although there aren't many applications for this thing, the Sect still needs to reserve so."
"Alright, I'll see how it goes. I definitely won't hollow it out." Su Chen said uncaringly.
Qing Cang stared at him for a long ti before shifting his gaze away, saying: "You already know about the matters that happened in the Royal Court, right?"
"Head of Seat Lin already told ." Su Chen nodded.
"Zhou Lingtian..." Qing Cang seed to sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect it would actually fall on the Royal Court's head."
"What do you an?" Su Chen didn't understand.
Qing Cang's gaze was deep and profound, "A while ago, I went out to investigate the matter of Evil Gods. Although the order was issued by Chu Lingyuan, in reality, the clues were provided by Zhou Lingtian."
"Oh?"
Su Chen couldn't help but be astonished, "This Zhou Lingtian is A thief crying 'stop thief'."
Qing Cang hesitated for a mont but shook his head: "Perhaps not. A person like him is very likely to just go with the flow of events."
"Several Great Eldritch Gods combining together are indeed plotting sothing. I estimate it was a temporary adaptation that it landed on the Royal Court's head. It can also be considered the Royal Court making a contribution to the Dust Star Sea. Otherwise, who knows where it would have blown up."
Su Chen said: "But the Mist Embers was only polluted, and wasn't snatched away."
"Only?" Qing Cang suddenly felt his teeth ache. When entangled by Mist Embers, no matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to say the word "only". But the one person who had the qualifications to say it was standing right in front of him.
He shook his head and said: "Zhou Lingtian definitely wanted to snatch away the Radiant Moon Essence. But the Evil Gods had no need to snatch it away; the price paid to snatch it away might be even more. Being entangled by Mist Embers, under normal circumstances, corruption is only a matter of ti anyway."
"However, going through this ordeal, the several Great Eldritch Gods can probably all be certain that the Vast Sea Emperor and those Ancient Kings are currently unable to cause any impact on the outside world."
Qing Cang sighed, "This is not a good thing. Going forward, it's not certain that we won't see the true bodies of Great Eldritch Gods descending upon the world."
With the Royal Court suffering such massive losses, Qing Cang was naturally happy to see it happen, but he also sniffed out a crisis from within it.
But his gaze shifted and fell on Su Chen: "For us, perhaps it can be profitable."
