"I never imagined that the Nine Flame Paste and the Ice Heart Marrow would have such wonderful uses."

Suiren's eyes held a hint of melancholy. "Back then, when I was roaming the Chaos, I encountered a perilous place filled with endless magma, and at the very center of this magma lay a vast amount of Nine Flame Paste."

"At first, I just thought it was a rare treasure. Although I didn't know its wonderful uses, I kept it because I believed that treasures should be found by those who are destined to receive them."

"Hmm." The Daoist Sanqing nodded as well. "Although this Nine Flame Paste is Chaos, I used to only be able to use it when refining certain fire-attribute magic treasures. I never imagined that this treasure would have such a wonderful use."

In the past, the Nine Flame Paste was not actually considered precious by the Three Realms.

Because of this Nine Flame Paste, many powerful beings in the Three Realms have only discovered its usefulness in crafting magical artifacts! No other uses have been found yet.

"This time... we all owe you, our disciple."

Shennong smiled as he looked at Lei Zhan, Patriarch Bodhi, and Buddha Tathagata standing beside him. His simple smile made Lei Zhan feel a sense of goodwill upon first meeting him.

"We've obtained quite a few techniques and secret arts from the Chaos Alien Race in the past, but very few of them are actually usable. This technique was contributed by Lei Zhan, wasn't it?"

Fuxi Clan smiled and said, "But this time, of these eight methods, only the Eighteen Taowu God-Devils and the accompanying Universe Reversing One-Heart Formation are of much less use; the others are extremely useful to us! Even the method for refining the Golden Core..."

"You flatter me!" Lei Zhan smiled slightly. "I'm sharing these techniques and secret arts for two reasons. First, my two masters have helped me immensely throughout my growth. Second, it's thanks to the guidance of all of you seniors. Last time in the Tianchen Great World, I sensed that many powerful figures were present."

"You rascal..." Shennong shook his head helplessly, "You really are... someone who repays kindness! We intervened to stop the Wujian Sect only because we didn't want to break the rules. Since that God King Buxiu dared to make a move, he should be prepared to accept the consequences."

Suiren then looked at Lei Zhan: "We all owe you something."

"How to make amends is up to you," Bodhi said with a smile. "However, apart from matters of the Dharma, the most important things are these two Chaos treasures."

"We all know that you, Suiren, possess the Nine Flame Paste, but how much of this Chaos Treasure do you have left? Is it enough for several people to cultivate this secret technique?" Buddha Tathagata also said, "And then there is the Ice Heart Marrow. Such a treasure is not found in the Chaos surrounding our Three Realms; at the very least, one must go to the depths of Chaos, to the Endless Ice Sea, to search for it."

"When Nuwa traveled through the Chaos, she passed through the outer edge of the Endless Ice Sea and brought back some Ice Heart Marrow, but it was only a few hundred thousand catties," Fuxi Clan said. "After countless years, those few hundred thousand catties have been used up to almost nothing. Only a few juniors who have broken through to the Pure Yang True Immortal realm can still use it."

"Hmm?" The Daoist Sanqing looked over immediately. " Fuxi, how much do you have left?"

"You..." Fuxi Clan looked helplessly at the Daoist Sanqing, "Is Dong Hua truly your Daoist Sect's precious darling! You want him to cultivate first?"

"Let Dong Hua cultivate first..." All the powerful figures looked over, and they were immediately tempted.

While they would need to expend a massive amount of Ice Heart Marrow and Nine Flame Paste to advance their Golden Core, Celestial Immortal and Pure Yang True Immortal don't require that much!

Which of these powerful figures didn't have a large number of disciples and followers under their command?

"Hmm? You already have this Ice Heart Marrow?" Lei Zhan's eyes lit up.

His improved First-Grade Golden Core Elixir method, < New Nine Directions Fragment >, requires too many resources to cultivate a Celestial Immortal Golden Core through tribulation, and the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation is also terrifyingly high.

However, if one cultivates Third-Grade Golden Core method from the Three Realms and then uses this < Ice-Fire Golden Core Refining Method > to further enhance it, one can not only bypass the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation but also reduce the resources consumed.

Even Second-Grade Golden Core is enough for many cultivators.

It's important to know that, not to mention the numerous Star-Plucking Mansion Celestial God and True Immortal of the Lei Zhan's command, just his reincarnated master, the Immortal Juhua, and his two beauties Wang Shu and Kucao, would require quite a few.

"You all..." Fuxi Clan shook his head helplessly, "I only have about 20,000 to 30,000 jin of Ice Heart Marrow here. That's enough for two or three hundred Celestial Immortal. But for True Immortal ..."

Fuxi Clan spoke, he glanced at the Daoist Sanqing and said, "It's just enough for two people."

"I still have about seven million catties of Nine Flame Paste Nine Flame Paste left..." Suiren looked at his old friends, whose eyes were filled with anticipation. "If you want more, you'll have to go back into the Chaos to find more."

"But the dangerous place where I discovered the Nine Flame Paste collapsed not long after I collected all the treasures!"

"Nearly seven million catties..." Lei Zhan pondered for a moment, secretly rejoicing.

Fortunately, his Star-Plucking Mansion had only recently been established. He himself was already First-Grade Golden Core, so he didn't need these things. At most, he would prepare some for his relatives and friends, but his needs weren't great.

"However..." Lei Zhan muttered to himself, "If Wang Shu and the others were to cultivate the Eighteen Taowu God-Devils in the future... the amount of Nine Flame Paste and Ice Heart Marrow required would be considerable."

Cultivating the Eighteen Taowu God-Devils requires Chaos Spiritual Liquid, while enhancing the Golden Core requires Nine Flame Paste and Ice Heart Marrow. The two are in conflict. In the end, it depends on choosing between them.

However, compared to the Nine Flame Paste and the Ice Heart Marrow, after upgrading to the Golden Core stage, the Chaos Spiritual Liquid required for cultivating the Eighteen Taowu God-Devils is at least ten times that required for the Second-Grade Golden Core Third-Grade Golden Core stage!

Therefore, for the current Lei Zhan, Chaos Spiritual Liquid is naturally more precious.

Lei Zhan pondered to himself, "I also need to check out this Endless Frozen Sea. And the Nine Flame Paste... I sensed before that there might be Karma related to me within the Chaos. I'll look for it while I'm at it; there are other dangerous and perilous places in the Chaos where the Nine Flame Paste doesn't exist."

Although Lei Zhan is now at the level of a True God and a First-Class True Immortal, he still needs to venture out and hone his skills. In any case, he has many clones, so he is not afraid to go to those dangerous and perilous places.

"Nearly seven million catties... that should be enough for the Nine Flame Paste." Shennong nodded and said, "If it's just for the few of us, it's sufficient."

"Nearly seven million catties..." The Daoist Sanqing looked thoughtful.

" Lei Zhan, do you need the Nine Flame Paste and the Ice Heart Marrow?" Suiren looked over. He had noticed that Lei Zhan's eyes brightened considerably when Fuxi Clan mentioned the Ice Heart Marrow.

"Hmm." Lei Zhan glanced at the powerful figures around him, then nodded. "I probably need 500,000... 300,000 jin would be enough. I can exchange it for treasures."

"Hmm. There's no need to exchange treasures. A few treasures are nothing." Suiren shook his head, waved his hand, and a large ball of extremely hot magma, ' Nine Flame Paste,' appeared in the air. "This is 500,000 jin of Nine Flame Paste."

"Actually, it will be easier to find the Nine Flame Paste in the Endless Chaos after we've all obtained the Ice Heart Marrow and upgraded our Golden Cores. Don't listen to the solemn expressions on the faces of the Three Pure Ones and the others."

"This..." Lei Zhan nodded and smiled, "Then I'll just accept it."

Wow~~

With Lei Zhan directly accepted the Nine Flame Paste.

Suiren smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the powerful figures around him. With a thought, four extremely hot magma appeared in the air, except that one of them was much larger, twice the size of the other Nine Flame Paste.

" Three Pure Ones, this 2.05 million catties is for your Daoist Sect. Among us, your Daoist Sect's Celestial Xiaoyao is the closest to us and the most approachable to the leadership level. Giving this treasure to him will allow it to be used to its fullest potential in the future."

Suiren continued, "As for the rest, I've given an extra 50,000 jin for each ball of Nine Flame Paste. After we obtain the Ice Heart Marrow, who trains the disciples first and who trains them later is up to you."

"Um."

"Good!"

None of the powerful figures objected; they all accepted the treasure directly.

" Nine Flame Paste is not a problem, but the Ice Heart Marrow... requires going to the Endless Frozen Sea deep within Chaos," said the Daoist Sanqing. "And the Wujian Sect has only recently returned to the Three Realms, so we need to discuss carefully which ones to send and which ones to stay."

" Endless Ice Sea..."

" Endless Ice Sea."

The other six people present remained silent for a moment.

a long time.

"I'll go with the human race," Fuxi Clan said first. "I'll bring the Nine Flame Paste. If we obtain the Ice Heart Marrow, I can be the first to try out this Second-Grade Golden Core."

"I..." The Three Pure Ones were about to speak.

"Let the Three Pure Ones stay. You and Suiren are the strongest among us. With the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the ability to transform into the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, you can keep a close eye on Feng Mo and the others from the Wujian Sect." Buddha Tathagata shook his head and said, "Count me in as one of the people to go. I can send two avatars."

"I'll go!"

Before his master, Patriarch Bodhi, could speak, Lei Zhan looked at the many powerful figures and said, "Although my strength is not as great as my master, Tathagata, nor as Fuxi Clan, my Second Primordial Spirit is Three-Legged Golden Crow. After learning the Solar Golden Rainbow, my speed is among the top in the Three Realms. Count me in."

"Hmm?" Patriarch Bodhi looked over immediately, a complex expression in his eyes.

The Buddha Tathagata has five incarnations. Fuxi, on the other hand, possesses leadership qualities.

Bodhi, having comprehended the Time and Space Power, possesses the strongest ability to protect himself, but there is indeed not much difference between either of them going there.

The powerful figures all looked over, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Especially the Daoist Sanqing, Fuxi Clan and Shennong. None of them had ever been in contact with Lei Zhan. But even they needed to discuss this dangerous place carefully, which shows how dangerous it was.

But Lei Zhan agreed without even thinking about it?

"You're going?" Suiren smiled gently, his eyes, weathered by countless storms, fixed on Lei Zhan. "Although you are fast, the Endless Frozen Sea is extremely dangerous even for leaders. You've only just broken through to the True God level..."

"My willingness to go is not an impulsive choice." Lei Zhan shook his head. "Master Bodhi the number one in the Three Realms Time and Space, but the Wujian Sect has only returned a thousand years ago. We still need Master to be here to investigate the entire Three Realms. But I still have my main body to guard the Star-Plucking Mansion."

Lei Zhan hesitated, still not intending to reveal his cultivation of the < Eighteen Taowu God-Devils >. This was already one of his trump cards for survival, even though the people in front of him were all leaders and powerful figures on their side.

Just like how Suiren did not reveal that he had broken through to become Ancestral God.

Some secrets can only be considered secrets if you can keep them to yourself.

"You go..."

Suiren was still hesitating.

There's no other reason than that Lei Zhan is a human. He was among the first batch of humans created by the Goddess Nuwa. Many of the countless humans in the Three Realms have his blood flowing through their veins. Therefore, Suiren regarded Lei Zhan as his descendant.

"Let Lei Zhan go. Fuxi and I will take care of my disciple along the way," said Buddha Tathagata.

"Let my disciple go," Patriarch Bodhi said with a smile. " Lei Zhan inherited my Ultimate Art of Time and Space and learned the number one escape technique in the Three Realms. His ability to protect himself is also top-notch."

"This..." Suiren hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding, "Alright!"

"Alright. It's settled then." The Daoist Sanqing laughed, " Fuxi, Tathagata, and Lei Zhan, the three of you, will go to the Endless Frozen Sea."

"Good."

That's fine.

"That's settled then."

None of the others objected.
