Chapter 776: Talk of the Immemorial Spiritual Fire
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
By capturing He Ziniu’s divine soul dragon core, it was like an extra harvest for Qin Wushuang. As he watched Shu Ya of the Jackal Wolf Dragon Clan escape into the far distance, Qin Wushuang did not chase after him.
He knew that although the martial artists around him appeared to be fleeing, vividly there were Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors. Certainly, they were still waiting for their chance to launch a surprise attack.
Therefore, he could not be the slightest bit careless.
Due to this layer of consideration, not only did Qin Wushuang not reduce his momentum, he continuously activated the dragon breath from his body. With the spiritual light constantly flowing out, the temperament of his entire person only increased. At the same time, the Graceful Spiritual Bow also collaborated to bring out the best in one another as it emitted a powerful aura of death.
Basically, it allowed Qin Wushuang’s entire temperament to be on par with a Transformation Supreme Dao elite warrior.
Especially with his method of killing He Ziniu, the warriors in the area were greatly intimidated by his power. For Qin Wushuang, his confidence in his new found strength was fortified.
With a spurt of dragon breath, his temperament kept climbing to its peak.
For those Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors who were waiting to make an ambush, when they saw Qin Wushuang’s method of killing He Ziniu, their mental stability collapsed. In terms of temperament, vividly it seemed to be declining.
In between the ascending and descending trend, it caused an extremely subtle change to the overall situation.
Just with this instant of hesitation, Qin Wushuang had already broke out of the siege and he rushed towards the direction of the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley with full effort.
With a flash, he turned into a vague figure in the midst of that faint mist. Gradually, he transformed into a black dot and disappeared from everyone’s field of view.
Now, those Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors were awakened all of a sudden. All of them scuttled out from the darkness and looked towards the direction of the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley while lost in thought. However, they were incredibly hesitant.
Of course, they were not the slightest bit ashamed. No one felt ashamed by not stepping out to stop Qin Wushuang.
Clearly, after Qin Wushuang lashed out with those incredible skills, these Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors all realized that he was a warrior with enough power to stop them.
“The Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley is a dead place, that kid is looking for his own grave by going there.”
“Didn’t they say the Golden Crow is revived? Could it be this kid is going there to be dessert for the Golden Crow?”
“Should we go after them?”
“Humph, this so-called Golden Crow rumor might be something the eighteen Endless Eastern Sea dragon clans use to scare themselves, it’s not trustworthy!”
“Go after him then?”
“Of course, go after him! Everyone, although we don’t know each other, I imagine we all came with the same intentions. Everyone has already seen that regardless of who you are, it’s clearly impossible for us to deal with Qin Wushuang alone. Even if two people attack him from two sides, I am afraid we cannot stop his ghost-like motions. Therefore, I am calling everyone to work together to first kill that kid.”
“It’s easy to kill that kid, after we join hands, how should the profit be distributed? Who can convince the ma.s.ses by taking the Graceful Spiritual Bow?”
“Ha ha, everyone has come for that Graceful Spiritual Bow. However, don’t forget, if we cannot kill Qin Wushuang, it’s utterly impossible to seize the Graceful Spiritual Bow! After we kill Qin Wushuang, we can discuss another plan regarding the distribution of the Graceful Spiritual Bow. Regardless if we need to set up a compet.i.tion method or seize it by force, there should be some sort of regulation. If someone harbors ulterior motives, the other people shall rise to attack!”
“Yes, this friend speaks well. We should work together or else it would be a waste of our efforts. Especially when inside that Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley, if we don’t unite in that boundless body of water, only a lunatic would think of killing that Qin Wushuang alone!”
“It makes sense, let’s unite and first kill Qin Wushuang, then discuss the aftermath!”
…
When Qin Wushuang rushed into the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley, he locked onto Mi Jia’s position right away. He activated the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings at full speed and transformed into a purple meteoric light to drop onto a reef directly.
Mi Jia was overjoyed. “You are here!”
Qin Wushuang looked back and shot her a glance. He said with a smile, “I am here, but I might have attracted more trouble.”
Mi Jia did not mind as she pouted her mouth. “Afraid of trouble? I am not afraid of trouble!”
“Is that right? If I tell you that there may be a few Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors, maybe even a dozen chasing after me, what would you think then?”
Mi Jia’s expression changed. “Everyone says I am the troublemaker, I see that you are the real troublemaker!”
“Are you scared?”
Mi Jia stuck out her chest. “Afraid of what? They wouldn’t dare to act outrageously at the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley unless they don’t want to live anymore. If they truly startle the legendary Golden Crow, they are dead.”
“The Golden Crow is only a rumor, do you really believe it exists?”
“Humph, even if there is no Golden Crow, there are many monsters here. Don’t you know? This Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley is the existence even the Forefather Dragon Clans have a headache with!”
Qin Wushuang was not interested in this matter, instead he asked, “Just where is that Ancient Hibiscus Wood and Scarlet Fire?”
“Ancient Hibiscus Wood? I didn’t say to ask for the Ancient Hibiscus Wood!” Mi Jia showed a face full of confusion.
“You don’t want it, could it be I don’t want it?”
“You… What are you doing with that? You… Could it be you are making a spiritual object? Yes, it must be, you must certainly be making a divine weapon, right? Why else would you collect that Fish Dragon Iron Bone?” Instantly, Mi Jia’s imagination overflowed.
“This seems to be none of your business, okay?” Qin Wushuang said angrily, “If you have any information, tell me. If not, let’s go on our own way from now on.”
“You are destroying the bridge after just crossing the river?” Mi Jia mumbled with her s.e.xy red lips, yet she smiled sweetly. “However, you cannot ditch me even if you wanted. Let me tell you, for the Ancient Hibiscus Wood, there is only one place across the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley that has it. It’s also where the old den of the Golden Crow was back in the day. In the Ancient Hibiscus Forest, there is an ancient Ancient Hibiscus tree and some ordinary Hibiscus trees. Besides that place, no other place in the entire Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley has it.”
Qin Wushuang said with a grave expression, “Den of the Golden Crow? Do we need to go that deep to have it?”
“What, are you scared of the Golden Crow?” Mi Jia asked with a faint smile.
“If other places have it, why go to the farthest away place?”
“The problem is that no other places have it.” Mi Jia laughed. “You will first accompany me to find the Scarlet Fire, then I will take you to the Ancient Hibiscus Forest, which is also the old den of the Golden Crow.”
“Let it be. Since the Ancient Hibiscus Forest is that dangerous, I don’t need you to take me there, you can just point me in the right direction.” Qin Wushuang did not wish to carry her as a burden.
Mi Jia chuckled and spread out a hand-drawn map. “I paid a great price to get this map. There are a few places that have the Scarlet Fire. Of course, these were only speculations.”
“Speculation? You can’t be accurate by speculating!”
“Of course, it’s not meaningless speculation!” Mi Jia said unhappily. “The Scarlet Fire is the most powerful fire in the world, it’s the immemorial spiritual fire that was contained beneath the ground during the immemorial period. Besides the original fire of the universe, this immemorial spiritual fire should be the strongest.”
“For such powerful fire, how do you plan to absorb it?”
“Ha ha, of course I would not be absorbing it, I only need to absorb the fire soul. When I extract the fire soul from the Scarlet Fire, it can temper my Supreme Dao element. After it forms into the fire soul of the Scarlet Fire, I can use latent efforts to refine it into Scarlet Fire and I will be able to perform all of my skills at their most powerful stage!”
“Absorb the fire soul? Can you extract the Scarlet Fire?” Qin Wushuang asked.
Mi Jia was directly speechless and looked at Qin Wushuang as if looking at a monster. “I say, you are so good at fighting usually, how come you are asking me these common sense questions?”
“Ha ha, what, I cannot ask you?”
Vividly, Qin Wushuang realized that perhaps his question was shallow and common sense knowledge to those at the Supreme Dao Stage. However, to Qin Wushuang, he did not have a guide or a teacher to pa.s.s down knowledge of the Supreme Dao systematically.
Mi Jia gave a long sigh. “Alright, perhaps you don’t know much as you’ve just entered the Supreme Dao Stage. Not just the Scarlet Fire, all Supreme Dao objects in the world can allow us to extract the Supreme Dao soul. As long as we extract it and recite an incantation with our own divine soul, we can control it. Then, through our own power, we can refine this object and recreate it. This is the power of natural reproduction. For Supreme Dao skills, if we don’t even have such little supreme skills, how could we be called Supreme Dao warriors? Supreme Dao is endless, the power to reproduce continuously! Just like how the Supreme Dao divine soul can live forever, theoretically, the souls extracted from Supreme Dao objects in nature are also immortal. Of course, if you use them madly during some period, reproduction in a short period will be affected. This is called exploitation.”
Upon hearing her explanation, Qin Wushuang understood immediately as he nodded. “Thank you, I’ve learned something.”
Mi Jia let out a mischievous laugh and said proudly, “So you also have a moment to be humble! I thought that someone who thinks so highly of themselves would always be condescending.”
Qin Wushuang was in a great mood and of course he would not lower himself to her level. He said, “In this case, let’s head to the closest place!”
Mi Jia nodded and said, “The closest one is on an island that’s about sixty thousand miles away from here. The island does not have a name and is relatively small.”
“Alright, it’s better to be on an island than beneath the water!”
The two of them targeted the direction of the island and left with a gallop.
While they were flying, Mi Jia said with a smile, “Do you know why I would say that speculation does not come from nothing?”
“Why?”
“It’s simple, the Scarlet Fire is the fire of nature, the immemorial spiritual fire. Since it possesses tremendous power, the temperature of the surrounding body of water that contains this fire will be much higher. It will flare out more violently when it boils. Of course, this is only a speculation. Whether it truly has that immemorial spiritual fire or not, we must still explore.”
“Do you have any methods to test it?”
“Not necessary. The Scarlet Fire is extremely red and almost close to purple in color. When the flame ascends, it would be like a blooming parasol tree flower. With these traits, it’s incredibly easy to recognize.”
Qin Wushuang nodded. Inwardly, he thought that with all the magical things in nature, nothing was too bizarre. If this Scarlet Fire was only in the shape of a parasol tree flower, it could make all the surrounding body of water come to a boil. It was apparent that this fire deserved fame for being immemorial spiritual fire.
After half a day, the two of them traveled past the boundless body of water. Suddenly, Mi Jia’s eyes lit up. “Look there. The shape of that island is like a sea turtle, it’s there!”
“Fly down!”
Both of them transformed into meteoric lights that shot onto that island directly.
