Chapter 77

Chang Xi saw the concerns in Su Chen's heart, and the monstrous hatred in her eyes slowly converged and returned to normal.

She sighed, her voice returning to coldness.

"I naturally know how powerful Kun Peng is. And I know that asking you to be his enemy is no different from sending you to your death."

"I have waited for endless years, so I don't care about waiting a little longer."

She looked at Su Chen and said slowly: "I naturally don't want you to go to your death, but want a promise from you, a vow made with your Dao heart."

"I want you to vow that if one day your cultivation reaches a realm sufficient to contend with Kun Peng, you must help me get rid of Kun Peng."

"If you can't reach that realm in your whole life, then this vow will not impose any constraints on you."

"How about it? Are you willing to agree to this condition?"

Chang Xi looked at Su Chen quietly, waiting for his answer.

Su Chen's heart was fighting a battle between heaven and man.

This was a deal that used the future to gamble on the present.

Using a promise to be an enemy of a Quasi-Saint in the future to exchange for the opportunity to quickly break through to Earth Immortal or even a higher realm.

It seemed there was no harm to him.

So, should he agree or not?

Su Chen weighed the pros and cons; he seemed to have no reason not to agree.

"Good! Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, Junior agrees to your condition!"

He raised three fingers and made a solemn vow to his Dao heart.

"I, Su Chen, vow here today! If one day I possess the strength to contend with Kun Peng, I will definitely do my best to help the Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun kill Kun Peng! If I violate this vow, I will definitely die and disappear, and be destroyed forever!"

As his vow fell, Su Chen felt that some existence in the dark seemed to respond to his vow.

Su Chen knew that this was Heaven witnessing the vow he had made.

The vow was established!

Seeing this, Chang Xi finally revealed a smile on her cold face.

"Very good."

She nodded.

"Since that's the case, follow me."

She turned around and walked toward the depths of the great hall.

"I will take you to get the True Fire of the Sun."

He could finally get the True Fire of the Sun.

Su Chen exhaled a long breath in his heart, followed behind Chang Xi, passed through the door, and walked through the long corridor.

Arrived before a stone door sealed by countless profound runes.

The Lunar Qi here was ten times richer than outside, almost turning into tiny liquid droplets.

If it weren't for Chang Xi being by his side, using her authority as the Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun to protect him.

Su Chen didn't doubt at all that as soon as he stepped in here, his spirit would be frozen instantly.

"Behind this stone door is the place where the True Fire of the Sun is sealed."

Chang Xi said while stretching out her slender jade fingers, carving in the air on the stone door.

Her movements were flowing, and silver runes flowed from her fingertips, branded on the stone door, merging with the original seal.

As her last rune fell, the entire stone door made a "rumbling" loud noise and slowly opened inward.

An aura of extreme Yang and extreme rigidity rushed out from behind the stone door!

This aura was the exact opposite of the Lunar origin around it; as soon as the two touched, they made a "hissing" sound, as if water and fire were merging, annihilating each other.

Su Chen was just slightly affected by this aura, and he felt a burning stinging pain on his skin, as if he were about to be ignited.

He was horrified in his heart and hurriedly operated his magic power to resist, which made him feel a bit better.

"What a terrifying True Fire of the Sun!"

He had only felt the aura leaking out and was already so uncomfortable; it was hard to imagine how domineering that true origin fire was.

Chang Xi seemed to see his embarrassment; she waved her hand lightly, and a gentle Lunar force shrouded Su Chen, isolating that burning aura.

"Follow me closely."

She urged, and walked into the stone door first.

Su Chen hurriedly followed.

Behind the stone door was a small secret room.

In the center of the secret room was a formation.

Countless silver formation patterns covered the floor and walls of the entire secret room, forming a complex three-dimensional formation.

And at the very core of the formation, a flame the size of a fist, emitting dazzling golden light, was burning quietly.

That flame was brilliant to the extreme, as if it were the source of all light in the world.

It emitted a terrifying power that could burn the sky and boil the sea, melting everything.

Su Chen's gaze was instantly attracted by that flame.

"Is this a wisp of origin of the True Fire of the Sun?"

"Not bad."

Chang Xi nodded, a flash of complex emotion in her eyes, with nostalgia and sadness.

"This is the last wisp of origin true fire left in the world before Di Jun fell."

"All these years, if it weren't for me using the origin power of the Lunar Star to set up this 'Lunar Locking Sun Formation' to suppress it here, I'm afraid it would have been detected by the outside world long ago."

Su Chen looked at the flame, both longing and afraid.

"Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, this True Fire of the Sun is so domineering. How should Junior refine it?" Su Chen asked.

"I advise you, it's best to refine it right here."

Chang Xi's expression became serious.

"This formation is connected to the earth veins of the entire Lunar Star and is the only place in the Three Realms that can suppress the aura of the True Fire of the Sun."

"If you take it out, once it leaves the suppression of the formation, its aura will spread throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths in an instant. By then, those great beings of the Heavenly Court, and even those reclusive old monsters, will all be attracted."

"An innocent man is innocent, but his treasure makes him a criminal. You don't need me to teach you this principle, right?"

Su Chen's heart felt a chill.

He knew that what Chang Xi said was the truth.

An innate divine object of this level, the origin of the True Fire of the Sun, was enough to make Great Luo Golden Immortals and even Quasi-Saints go crazy.

He was just a small Human Immortal; if he carried this thing and swaggered outside, the consequences could be imagined.

"Thank you for the reminder, Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, Junior understands." Su Chen nodded.

Going into seclusion here was indeed the best choice.

However...

He thought of Sun Wukong.

His seclusion this time to refine the True Fire of the Sun would definitely not be a matter of one day.

Short would be several months, long would be several years, or even decades.

For such a long time, he would be missing, and with Monkey Brother's impatient temper, if he couldn't find him, he would definitely be worried, and maybe he would cause some trouble.

No, before going into seclusion, he must go back first, greet him, and arrange things.

Thinking of this, Su Chen raised his head and said to Chang Xi.

"Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun, Junior has one more presumptuous request."

"Speak." Chang Xi was concise.

"Junior wants to go back first," Su Chen said carefully. "Junior's seclusion this time, I don't know how long it will take. I have an elder brother who ascended to Heaven with me; he has an impatient temper, and I'm afraid he will be worried if I don't return for a long time, thus causing trouble. So, I want to go back first and explain to him, so he can be at ease."
