Fifth Chapter: A Surge in Strength, Becoming a Golden Immortal on the Spot! [Begging for Flowers, Follows, and Ratings]
A cultivation novel that could improve the Human Race's aptitude for cultivation and raise it to the top tier of the Primordial Continent.
Jiang Chen had a few possibilities to choose from.
The first was A Leaf Covers the Sky, and the second was Invincible Brat.
Both books placed great emphasis on just how incredible the Human Race's aptitude for cultivation was.
If the system optimized them and their effects were reflected in the Primordial World, then the Human Race's aptitude surely wouldn't be inferior to that of the Wu and Demon races!
"But..."
"Before I choose and write my next book, I need to raise my strength first!" Jiang Chen looked at the items in his system inventory that he could claim, pondering his options.
Among the Innate Human Race, more than a dozen people had comprehended cultivation techniques from Exotic Fire Fighting World, while others had comprehended various pills.
Among the Acquired Humans, Suiren Shi, Shennong Shi, and several others had already become immortals on the spot.
There were now more than thirty immortals among the Human Race!
Yet he, the author who had created those books, hadn't even reached the Earth Immortal realm. That was rather hard to justify.
With that in mind, Jiang Chen opened his system inventory.
"Ding-dong! Would you like to claim all items?" "Confirm!" "Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. You have comprehended the Primordial Burning Art!" "Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the World-Purifying Demonic Lotus Fire!" "Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. You have comprehended Supreme Pill Dao!" "Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Supreme Emperor Pill!" "Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. You have comprehended Sage's Wrath Fire Lotus!" "Ding-dong..."
The notifications rang out more than thirty times in succession, but only the first few items could rival the top-tier treasures of the Primordial World.
That was only natural.
After all, there were only a handful of peak-tier items in Exotic Fire Fighting World.
And in the Primordial Plane, only a handful of cultivation techniques and items could rival those at the Great Luo Level.
But...
Claiming items wasn't the only function Jiang Chen had.
He also had over a million Reading Points!
"System! Choose a tenfold increase!"
"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. The Primordial Burning Art has been increased tenfold and advanced to the Heavenly Dao-level Chaos Burning Art!" "Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. The World-Purifying Demonic Lotus Fire has been increased tenfold and advanced to the Heavenly Dao-level World-Destroying Demonic Lotus Flame!" "Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. Supreme Pill Dao has been increased tenfold and advanced to the Heavenly Dao-level Law Pill Dao!" "Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. The Supreme Emperor Pill has been increased tenfold and advanced to the Heavenly Dao-level Primordial Emperor Pill!" "Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. Sage's Wrath Fire Lotus has been increased tenfold and advanced to the Heavenly Dao-level Holy Wrath Dao Lotus!" "..."
More than thirty notifications rang out in succession, giving Jiang Chen his first taste of just how incredible the enhancement effect was.
"Holy crap! Heavenly Dao-level! Isn't that the same level as a Sage's cultivation technique?"
Jiang Chen didn't waste any time. He wasn't even an immortal yet, and the Primordial Wilderness was far too dangerous.
Even living on Shouyang Mountain didn't guarantee that he wouldn't attract unwanted attention.
He needed to raise his strength as soon as possible.
So Jiang Chen focused on the guidance of the Chaos Burning Art and the World-Destroying Demonic Lotus Flame.
"Use fire as your source, and your body as your furnace! Take the world's wood, devour the world's flames, and burn them all!!!"
"When exotic fire emerges, all flames bow! Burn the heavens and boil the seas, scorch the stars across the wilderness—command it all with a flick of your hand!"
He wanted to use them to break through his bottleneck and soar to the heavens!
Jiang Chen refused to believe that the World-Destroying Demonic Lotus Flame, a Heavenly Dao-level fire, was weaker than the Southern Bright Leaving Fire, the Samadhi True Fire, or the other Origin Fires of the Primordial World.
"Come!"
Jiang Chen sat cross-legged atop Shouyang Mountain. A flame powerful enough to shake the myriad heavens and burn the Thirty-three Heavens bloomed, releasing an aura that could incinerate the Primordial Continent.
The Human Holy Land, Shouyang Mountain, was enveloped by the aura of the World-Destroying Demonic Lotus Flame. The mountain became a lifeless, radiant mass.
Then, guided by the Chaos Burning Art, that wisp of flame rushed into Jiang Chen's body.
In an instant...
The scorching heat made Jiang Chen feel as though his blood was burning and boiling.
It seemed ready to burn him to ashes!
That was the World-Destroying Demonic Lotus Flame. If unleashed, it could wipe out the living beings of an entire world.
"Primordial Emperor Pill!" Jiang Chen endured the sensation of his body turning to Ashes of tribulation.
He swallowed the Primordial Emperor Pill along with all the other pills below the Great Luo Level in one gulp.
Bang!
The immense medicinal power shattered Jiang Chen's body, then reassembled it! He was reborn from the ashes!
More medicinal power spilled out, spreading in every direction across Shouyang Mountain.
The charred mountain came back to life.
Like Shouyang Mountain, Jiang Chen's body was burned to nothing and then remade.
But his cultivation was also skyrocketing!
Bang!
In an instant, Jiang Chen stepped into the Earth Immortal realm!
He, too, became an immortal on the spot!
But that wasn't the end!
Early-stage Earth Immortal, mid-stage, late-stage, peak, complete mastery!
Celestial Immortal!
From early stage... all the way to complete mastery!
But the Celestial Immortal realm wasn't the end, either.
Mystic Immortal!
Peak Mystic Immortal! Complete mastery!
"Ha!" Jiang Chen snapped his eyes open. In each pupil, a wisp of flame capable of burning the Sea of Time surged and flickered.
Crack!
The next moment, the shackles of the Golden Immortal realm shattered with a thunderous sound!
He became a Golden Immortal on the spot!
"Golden Immortal!" Jiang Chen examined his body and finally sensed the World-Destroying Demonic Lotus Flame settling down somewhat. The Primordial Emperor Pill had also been completely consumed.
Without the Primordial Emperor Pill, he would likely have been burned to Ashes of tribulation today!
"The World-Destroying Demonic Lotus Flame is terrifying. This fire is strong enough to rival the Origin Fires of the Primordial World—maybe even surpass them!!!" Jiang Chen turned his hand over, and a wisp of pure-white flame danced at his fingertips.
Who could have imagined that this flame, so weak in Jiang Chen's hand that a gust of wind could nearly extinguish it, was capable of burning an entire universe!
But Jiang Chen knew his limits.
As a Golden Immortal, he couldn't unleash the World-Destroying Demonic Lotus Flame's full power.
It was like a child carrying an axe heavier than himself. There was no way he could wield it with as much strength as an adult.
"But with the World-Destroying Demonic Lotus Flame, I have nothing to fear from anyone in the Golden Immortal realm!"
"If I can devour another exotic fire, or an Origin Fire of the Primordial World, and merge it into the Holy Wrath Dao Lotus, even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal will be shaken!"
After assessing his condition, Jiang Chen was quite satisfied.
But he didn't let himself become too proud. Even a Golden Immortal in the Primordial Wilderness was no match for the Witch-Demon Calamity without a Sage's protection!
He still had to keep going!
