Immune to All Fire-Attribute Cultivation Methods

Until the very end, all the Phoenix Spirit Fire scattered into blue streams of light within the crystal palace.

Gu Chen stood there as if nothing had happened, completely unchanged.

However, if one were to say there was a change, it seemed there was.

Shi Mengying noticed that Gu Chen's complexion appeared even better than before!

"I didn't expect you to master the Phoenix Spirit Fire so quickly in this life," she said.

"In your previous life, you didn't master this technique until you reached the Nascent Soul Realm."

The corners of Gu Chen's mouth curved upward slightly, his expression seeming like praise, yet also like mockery.

Shi Mengying couldn't believe her eyes at that moment.

She was clearly at the seventh level of the Innate Realm, and she believed her cultivation was far superior to Gu Chen's!

With the boost of the Phoenix Bloodline within her, how could she possibly fail to kill Gu Chen?

Even the Phoenix Spirit Fire, capable of burning everything in the world, couldn't do anything to Gu Chen!

While Shi Mengying was lost in her thoughts.

Gu Chen, as if he hadn't seen Shi Mengying, walked straight towards the throne at the end of the crystal staircase.

Seeing herself being ignored by Gu Chen, Shi Mengying's anger flared even more.

She directly blocked Gu Chen's path and said with a sharp tone, "Gu Chen, you won't get what you want and obtain the treasure!"

"I'm telling you, I absolutely will not..."

However, before Shi Mengying could finish her sentence.

She suddenly felt as if the blood in her entire body had frozen.

Immediately afterward, she discovered a large patch of blood appearing in front of her.

Gu Chen had actually shattered her internal organs with a single palm strike!

"So much nonsense," Gu Chen said.

Dropping this cold remark, Gu Chen stepped directly over Shi Mengying.

From Shi Mengying's perspective, she watched Gu Chen's legs stride over her head.

At that moment, she felt completely humiliated!

Yet, no matter how angry Shi Mengying was, she had no strength to stop Gu Chen at that time.

Even though she was a pearl of the Phoenix Clan, even though her cultivation was at the seventh level of the Innate Realm, she couldn't stop Gu Chen in the slightest!

"No... this is impossible."

"Why is this happening?"

Shi Mengying couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

She could only watch as Gu Chen took the light sphere from above the throne and then completely disappeared before her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Chen returned to the entrance of the Lingxu Secret Realm.

Standing in the dark and cold forest, Gu Chen slowly spread his hands, feeling the changes in the power within his body.

Gu Chen had actually expected Shi Mengying's cultivation to advance quickly in this life.

But he truly hadn't expected her talent to be so high.

The Phoenix Spirit Fire, which she had only learned at the Nascent Soul Realm in the previous life, she had already learned at the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Of course, these were not what surprised Gu Chen the most.

Just now, when Shi Mengying attacked Gu Chen with the Phoenix Spirit Fire.

Gu Chen discovered that he could actually evade all fire-attribute Cultivation Methods.

Continuing to test the changes in his Internal Energy, Gu Chen found that he seemed to be able to feel the divine power bestowed upon him by the Azure Luan Blazing Fire Pill.

This power was immunity to all fire-attribute Cultivation Methods and a slight increase in his cultivation.

Gu Chen had deliberately allowed himself to be burned by Shi Mengying's Phoenix Spirit Fire for a while longer, thinking if he could use this opportunity to increase his cultivation a bit more.

As a result, Gu Chen found Shi Mengying to be too weak.

The increase in his cultivation was so negligible!

That's why Gu Chen was too lazy to waste any more words with Shi Mengying and directly broke free from the restraint of the Phoenix Spirit Fire.

"I thought the Azure Luan Blazing Fire Pill had some other effect, but it's just this?"

Gu Chen had initially thought he would awaken some other divine power or obtain some peerless Cultivation Method.

After all, if it was just immunity to fire-attribute Cultivation Methods, once Gu Chen's cultivation reached a certain level, he could simply create a Barrier around himself to solve the problem.

However, having something is better than nothing, so Gu Chen accepted it with pleasure.

Following that, Gu Chen began to examine the treasures he had obtained in the Third Divine Hall.

As a result, Gu Chen discovered that it was actually a precious bead.

The treasure orb pulsed with a brilliant green light, appearing at first glance like a piece of jade.

"What's this thing for?"

"Can it boost my cultivation?"

Gu Chen muttered to himself, but when he tried channeling his Internal Energy into the orb, it remained unresponsive.

"Could its only purpose be to be valuable?"

With that thought, Gu Chen stopped trying to figure it out.

The Spiritual Energy in the Lingxu Secret Realm was abundant, and that crazy woman Shi Mengying would surely come chasing after him with murder in her eyes soon enough.

Gu Chen wasn't worried about being unable to defeat her; at worst, he'd just have to beat her half to death again.

However, Gu Chen was simply too lazy to bother. He'd rather spend his time meditating and cultivating.

With that in mind, Gu Chen suddenly realized how rapidly his cultivation had advanced within the Lingxu Secret Realm.

While this was a good thing, Gu Chen preferred a sense of solid progress.

So, he gathered his Qi in his dan tian, let out a sudden roar, and his cultivation receded like a tide.

His original cultivation of Profound Gang Realm third level was forcefully reduced to Profound Gang Realm first level!

Because he continuously solidified his cultivation, Gu Chen's foundation was now even more solid than that of many Nascent Soul cultivators!

It was precisely because of this that Gu Chen had been able to withstand Shi Mengying's sneak attack just now.

At that moment, Gu Chen looked up towards the horizon.

Through the dense canopy of trees, Gu Chen seemed to glimpse the first ray of dawn.

"The Rookie Competition in Immortal County is about to begin."

"In my past life, I didn't manage to get the highest tier of rewards."

"This time, I'll just aim for the championship."

With that, Gu Chen put away the treasure orb and left the forest without looking back.

East Desolation Commandery, Cangshan Sword Sect.

Gu Youwei didn't immediately descend the mountain to question her parents about the truth.

Instead, she set Chiling aside and began meditating to cultivate.

Her current cultivation was still very low, and under normal circumstances, she shouldn't have been able to summon Chiling at all.

Wielding Chiling and cutting down enemies had already left Gu Youwei severely weakened.

To the point where Gu Youwei herself didn't understand why Chiling had responded to her summons at that moment.

She pondered this carefully while cultivating.

Perhaps it was because she had cultivated to the Empress's level in her previous life.

Even across the river of time, having scattered her entire life's cultivation, Chiling, as one of the Four Divine Swords of antiquity, possessed an extremely special connection to its master.

Combined with Gu Youwei's belief that she possessed the Heavenly Dao Bone, this was why she had succeeded in summoning Chiling then.

"But my cultivation is already at the Innate Realm, so why can't I sense the Heavenly Dao Bone?"

Gu Youwei desperately searched within her body for the Heavenly Dao Bone.

Yet, after searching repeatedly, she couldn't find any trace of it.

"Could it be that my current cultivation is still too low?"
