Chapter 140: All the Heaven's Prides Emerge

"Huh?"

When he saw the True Spirit Realm fire beasts fleeing, Lin Chao was surprised.

"They are afraid of me?"

He naturally discovered the strange behavior of the fire beasts.

Lin Chao's courage grew instantly.

"The fire beasts aren't fast, and I am skilled in concealment techniques; I'll chase after them and see."

Even though the fire beasts showed fear, Lin Chao remained vigilant.

Otherwise, being too arrogant and crashing would be bad.

While in pursuit, Lin Chao was shocked to discover that it wasn't just the two True Spirit Realm fire beasts that feared him; the other fire beasts feared him as well.

These fire beasts looked at him as if they were seeing their natural predator.

"Could it be..."

Lin Chao had a guess in his heart.

Suddenly, the Dragon Pattern on his back became even hotter, and a special power began to circulate.

The fire beasts in the Endless Fen Xu were terrified, and many of the weaker ones even prostrated themselves on the ground, unable to move.

Lin Chao looked at those fire beasts and showed no more mercy.

"Swallow!"

He instantly unleashed the Dragon Absorption Method, swallowing several fire beasts into his stomach.

Immediately, a few fire beasts curled into a ball and were absorbed by Lin Chao's Big Eater Talent.

"Huh?"

What surprised Lin Chao was that the skeletons of these fire beasts were exceptionally familiar.

Among all the bones the butterfly bird gave him in the Wusheng Well, one type of bone was similar to those of the fire beasts.

"Could it be..."

Lin Chao had many guesses in his heart.

"Could this Endless Fen Xu be a livestock farm for a True Dragon?"

It was precisely because of this that these fire beasts were so terrified when they saw Lin Chao.

This was because, with the help of the butterfly bird, Lin Chao might contain a trace of a True Dragon's aura.

That was why these fire beasts were so afraid.

"The True Dragon in the Wusheng Well should be in the Immortal World now, right?"

Lin Chao guessed.

Such a powerful True Dragon probably couldn't stay in Jiuzhou at all.

"But why didn't it take the butterfly bird with it?"

Lin Chao was puzzled.

According to the butterfly bird, her relationship with the True Dragon was very good, and they could be called childhood sweethearts.

It would be logical for the True Dragon to take the butterfly bird when it went elsewhere.

Lin Chao thought for a moment and stopped dwelling on it.

He looked at the fire beasts in the Endless Fen Xu, his brows slightly furrowed: "Why do these fire beasts have no Spirituality within their bodies?"

For many years, Lin Chao had been studying Spirituality.

He only had a superficial understanding of Spirituality.

But in Jiuzhou, those who understood Spirituality better than him could be counted on one hand.

"Could it be that these fire beasts are not living beings?"

An important condition for distinguishing living beings is whether or not they have Spirituality within their bodies.

This was the definition of living beings in Jiuzhou.

Lin Chao frowned: "Having been in Jiuzhou for so many years, I haven't seen any so-called monsters."

Of course, if the butterfly bird counted as a monster, then she was the exception.

Generally speaking, in such a vast world of Immortal Cultivation, even immortals existed.

Plants and trees becoming spirits, and beasts taking human form, should also be common.

Yet in Jiuzhou, there wasn't a single monster.

After thinking about it, Lin Chao looked at the fire beasts in front of him and once again unleashed the Dragon Absorption Method.

He needed to become stronger quickly and accumulate strength.

As he was now, he was still too weak.

"A Pseudo-Immortal Realm fire beast?"

Lin Chao looked at the fire beast in front of him, his gaze flickering slightly.

As expected of the Endless Fen Xu, there were truly too many fire beasts inside.

One could encounter a Pseudo-Immortal Realm fire beast just like that.

No wonder the head of the Zhen Dan Association said that even True Spirit Realm experts wouldn't survive long if they entered.

After all, not to mention the flames that burned away Spirituality, the fire beasts alone were enough to give these experts a hard time.

Time flew by.

Seven years passed, and Lin Chao took a deep breath: "Finally, Pseudo-Immortal Mid-Stage."

It had to be said that this speed was exceptionally shocking.

Among cultivators in the outside world, who didn't measure the time from Pseudo-Immortal Early-Stage to Mid-Stage in centuries?

"However, it is still too slow." Lin Chao frowned.

Lin Chao did not know what kind of strength that group of True Immortals in the Heavenly Palace possessed.

To defeat them, merely being in the True Immortal realm was not enough.

"I should let my avatar come here to cultivate as well; that way, the improvement will be faster."

Lin Chao thought for a moment and made a decision in his heart.

Heavenly Sword Sect.

Sword Child Lin Chan opened his eyes, and a sharp edge burst forth from them.

He stood where he was, his entire being like a precious sword that had not yet been unsheathed.

Once unsheathed, the heavens would collapse and the earth would crack.

"Master, I wish to go out and gain experience."

Lin Chan bowed toward the cave dwelling in the depths.

Immediately, an old man appeared, a look of astonishment on his face: "Disciple, you have only joined the sect for a little over ten years; is it not too early to go out for experience now?"

This old man was a Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

He was immensely satisfied with Lin Chan.

Lin Chan was truly a Sword Dao genius capable of causing ten thousand swords to pay homage and the Heavenly Sword to manifest in the world.

Having arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect for only a little over ten years, he was already a powerhouse at the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

"A swordsman who remains in seclusion is like a rusted sword; the sword breaks before it is even unsheathed." Lin Chan spoke, his gaze firm.

"Very well." The Heavenly Sword Sect Supreme Elder did not stop him again.

He loved this disciple dearly.

At the same time, in the various major sects of Jiuzhou, many peerless geniuses left their sects one after another to go out and gain experience.

This drew the attention of the entire Jiuzhou.

Those geniuses who had originally prepared to go into seclusion were also influenced and emerged one after another.

The world also began to become turbulent.

Countless peerless geniuses emerged to punish evil and promote good, or to compete with one another.

Throughout the world, countless cultivators marveled.

There were truly too many peerless geniuses in this generation of Jiuzhou.

Like Pan, like Lin Chan, and like the successor of the Spear God Valley; in terms of talent, these geniuses were not inferior to the Seven Fragrances Empress who had once dominated the world.

The major sects of Jiuzhou were all filled with fighting spirit.

Jiuzhou encounters a great era; our generation shall join forces to crusade against the immortals.

These geniuses were the hope of Jiuzhou.

Originally, those sects had all felt fear in their hearts regarding dealing with the Ghost Immortals.

They felt that the Ghost Immortals were too powerful.

But now, so many geniuses comparable to the Seven Fragrances Empress had appeared.

Three thousand years later, the crusade against the immortals would be much more likely to succeed.

At the same time, in the Endless Fen Xu, countless figures had also quietly appeared.

These figures were hunting Fire beasts.

Outside the Endless Fen Xu, Xiang Qi frowned.

"The Endless Fen Xu contain the Scorching Spirit Fire; even in my prime, I could not stay inside for more than a day."

"Now, I must quickly find the Fire Essence within half an hour."

A trace of frost grew on Xiang Qi's hair.

She had originally thought that by living a new life through the Spirit Seal, she had avoided the Gatekeeper and deceived the Ghost Immortals.

But she had not expected that the methods of the Ghost Immortals were truly too astonishing.

They had actually left a strand of extreme cold energy within her body.

Even after living a new life, she still carried this strand of extreme cold energy within her body.

To neutralize the extreme cold energy, she had to use True Yang Fire.

True Yang Fire was the fire of a True Dragon.

There were no True Dragons in Jiuzhou, so Xiang Qi set her sights on the Endless Fen Xu.

In the Endless Fen Xu, there was also plenty of True Yang Fire that could neutralize the extreme cold energy in her body.

Xiang Qi looked at the Endless Fen Xu, gritted her teeth, and instantly entered the Endless Fen Xu.

If the extreme cold energy was not neutralized, her life would stop here.

She still had to defy and crusade against the Ghost Immortals; she could not stop here.

However, Xiang Qi, who had entered the Endless Fen Xu, did not have such good luck.

Half a day passed, and Xiang Qi had not found the True Yang Fire.

Just as she was on the verge of death, a beautiful figure appeared.
