Chapter 66

Nezha was a straightforward person with no airs.

He led the two to his mansion, dismissed the immortal attendants, personally took out his treasured immortal wine, and drank with Sun Wukong and Su Chen in the pavilion in the mansion.

Sun Wukong and Nezha were both straightforward people and were the type who didn't know each other until they fought. After a few cups of wine, their chatterboxes were completely opened.

From interesting stories in the lower realm to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, and from the Yama of the Netherworld to the various immortals of the Heavenly Court.

The two chatted more and more congenially, drank more and more happily, and finally directly addressed each other as brothers.

"Monkey Brother, come, I'll toast you again!" Nezha learned Su Chen's form of address, raised his wine cup, his face flushed red from drinking.

"Little Nezha, bottoms up!" Sun Wukong was also someone who didn't refuse anyone, picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, fully displaying his heroism.

Su Chen sat on the side, accompanying the two in drinking, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

In his heart, however, his thoughts were flying.

"I didn't expect Monkey Brother to become friends with Nezha so quickly. This is a good thing."

He knew that although Nezha was a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, he had become a saint with his physical body and was not under the control of the Investiture of the Gods list, so his status in the Heavenly Court was very transcendent.

Moreover, he had a straightforward personality and hated evil, making him one of the few righteous gods worth befriending.

Having him as a friend meant Sun Wukong had one more strong reinforcement and one less obstacle in the Heavenly Court.

It was just that...

Su Chen looked at Sun Wukong and Nezha, who were clinking glasses and laughing loudly, and felt the magic power like an abyss in them, and couldn't help but feel a longing in his heart.

The two of them, one was already a Golden Immortal when he left his sect, and now he was probably already a Tai Yi Golden Immortal.

The other had been famous in the Three Realms since the Investiture of the Gods period, and now it was unknown what realm he was in.

And he himself was only a Human Immortal.

The gap between them was even more distant than Heaven and Earth.

Although neither Sun Wukong nor Nezha looked down on him because of his low cultivation.

But Su Chen knew in his heart that in front of existences of this level, he was as small as an ant.

His safety, his status, and everything he possessed were built on the identity of "Sun Wukong's brother."

Once he lost the protection of this identity, any immortal in the Heavenly Court with a little status could easily crush him like crushing an ant.

"I must put improving my cultivation on the agenda," Su Chen thought to himself.

Although after coming to the Heavenly Court, with the help of massive amounts of immortal spiritual energy, his cultivation had progressed very quickly.

But to go further and achieve Earth Immortal, a conservative estimate would be at least a hundred years.

How could he afford to wait that long? To quickly improve his cultivation, he still had to find a way to search for Five Elements treasures.

After the banquet dispersed, Sun Wukong was dead drunk and staggered back to the Great Sage's Mansion.

Su Chen, however, had no drunkenness at all.

After settling Sun Wukong down, he returned to his room alone, closed the door, and thought about his next cultivation.

When he was at Wuzhuang Temple, he obtained the molted shell of Yang Mei Daxian—that hollow willow branch.

That willow branch was a Primordial spiritual root, containing endless Wood essence, allowing him to cultivate the Wood attribute of his Jin Dan to the Perfected Realm in one fell swoop, thus achieving Human Immortal.

If he wanted to break through to Earth Immortal as soon as possible, he needed to find a top-grade Fire attribute treasure to temper his Jin Dan, so that the Fire attribute of his Jin Dan could also reach perfection.

"It seems I can only rely on the Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian," Su Chen thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Su Chen summoned the 【Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian】.

Before his eyes, that ancient treasure mirror that only he could see slowly emerged.

【Current Heavenly Secret Points: 300】

"Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian, consume Heavenly Secret Points to deduce for me a clue to a Fire attribute spiritual object that is suitable for my cultivation and that I can obtain."

The treasure mirror's light flickered slightly, and the runes on it began to jump rapidly.

【Heavenly Secret deducing...】

【Searching for the opportunity for a Fire attribute supreme treasure to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm requires consuming 250 Heavenly Secret Points. Confirm?】

"250 points!"

This number was 50 points more than when he interpreted the "Pangu True Form Diagram" before.

"It's actually this expensive?" Su Chen thought to himself: "I don't know what it is."

It was just searching for a Fire attribute treasure; although the requirements were relatively high, it shouldn't consume more than the molted shell of Yang Mei Daxian back then.

Could it be that this opportunity was greater than the molted shell of Yang Mei Daxian?

Or was it that the karma involved was very heavy?

Su Chen didn't know what standard the Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian used to measure the required Heavenly Secret Points.

"Do it!"

Su Chen only hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and making up his mind.

"Confirm!"

With his mental confirmation, the Heavenly Secret Points on the Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian instantly decreased by 250 points.

At the same time, the Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian shone brightly.

A moment later, the light gradually subsided.

A line of golden ancient seal characters appeared on the Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian.

【Lunar Star Core, where the Moon Goddess resides, legacy of the Demon Emperor, True Fire of the Sun.】

Just this short sentence made Su Chen's heart beat wildly.

True Fire of the Sun!

This was one of the top-tier flames in the Three Realms!

It was an innate divine fire gestated within the origin of the Sun Star, and together with the True Water of the Moon from the Lunar Star, they were known as the two great sources of power of extreme Yang and extreme Yin between Heaven and Earth.

The ancient Demon Emperor Di Jun was a Three-Legged Golden Crow born in the Sun Star, naturally controlling this supreme divine fire.

It was rumored that this fire burned everything and left nothing behind; even innate magic treasures could be melted by it.

If he could obtain it, even if it was just a wisp, to temper his Hunyuan Jin Dan, the effect...

Su Chen simply couldn't imagine it.

His Jin Dan would not only have its Fire attribute reach perfection, but it might even undergo some unexpected transformation due to the integration of this wisp of innate True Fire of the Sun.

He finally understood why this interpretation required a full 250 Heavenly Secret Points.

However, after the initial ecstasy, Su Chen quickly calmed down.

Although the opportunity was great, getting it in his hands would be harder than ascending to Heaven.

The location was at the Lunar Star Core.

The Lunar Star was one of the famous forbidden areas of the Heavenly Court.

Let alone a Human Immortal like him, even other great beings of the Heavenly Court wouldn't dare to step half a step inside without the Jade Emperor's edict.

What was even more fatal was that the treasure was still in the place where the Moon Goddess Chang Xi resided.

Who was Chang Xi? She was one of the Demon Empresses of the ancient Demon Emperor Di Jun!

Although he didn't know why she hadn't fallen after the Lich Tribulation but instead became the Lunar Star Lord of this Heavenly Court.

But even with his toes, he knew that this was definitely an old monster who had lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, with unfathomable strength.

Stealing the legacy left by her late husband from her place of cultivation?

How was this any different from pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth?

No, this was ten thousand times more dangerous than pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth!

Once discovered, let alone getting the treasure, he, Su Chen, would probably not even have the chance to reincarnate; he would be crushed to bones and ashes, his spirit destroyed, on the spot by that Moon Goddess.

"Hard! Hard! Hard!"

Su Chen paced back and forth in the room.

"But since the Heavenly Secret Tianji Baojian gave the clue, it means I have a chance to obtain it, but I have to think about it carefully."
