As Jiang Tangâs body recovered and grew stronger, so too did both types of fire.
Furthermore, the fires now possessed a Fire Spirit, a slightly sentient Fire Spirit that was exceptionally tyrannical and mischievous, insisting on obliterating its enemies completely.
Huang Chen was carefully using his Magical Treasure to emit poisonous fog when suddenly, flames appeared in the skyâa familiar kind of fire.
He immediately ceased using the Magical Treasure and redirected it elsewhere.
From within the Magical Treasure, Huang Chen cursed furiously, âGood one, Jiang Tang, so youâre not dead after all.
Where are you hiding?
You made me nearly get killed; I will definitely repay this debt.â
The Demonic Beasts underground, having detected the potent poisonous fog, were drinking the Vitality Flower water to detoxify.
As the flames in the sky slaughtered the Ghost Cultivators, the Demonic Beasts took notice of the danger and hid themselves well.
âAhh, Xuanming Spiritual Fire!â
The very Xuanming Spiritual Fire that Huang Chen had coveted in life was now pursuing him relentlessly now that he himself had turned into a Ghost Cultivator within the Magnet Magic Treasure Soul Conqueror.
This Magic Treasure turned fiery red from the flames of the Xuanming Spiritual Fire, and he felt as if he were being roasted alive within it, his very soul suffering from the scorching heat.
In the midst of his cries for help, Huang Chen suddenly remembered a river not far away.
With the last of his Spiritual Energy, he moved the Magnet Magic Treasure Soul Conqueror to the river.
As the Magnet Magic Treasure Soul Conqueror encountered the river inside the Hell Palace, the red-hot Magnet Magic Treasure Soul Conqueror hissed, emitting steam as the scorched treasure came into contact with water and rapidly cooled down.
The Xuanming Spiritual Fire circled above the small river and then gave up pursuing the Huang Chen within the Magnet Magic Treasure Soul Conqueror.
And it returned to Jiang Tang.
Huang Chen, inside the Magnet Magic Treasure Soul Conqueror, was gasping for air, tortured by the pain of his soul being seared by the flames.
Unconscious, he collapsed inside the Magic Treasure, his diminutive soul blackened by the scalding fire.
The Xuanming Spiritual Fireâs other target, following the Qi of a Golden Core Elder, kept tracking to the edge of the Magical Treasure.
The flames of the Xuanming Spiritual Fire scorched the Hell Palace.
Feeling the danger, the Golden Core Elder quickly withdrew his divine power.
âDamn, which bastard is screwing up my plans againâŠâ
Huffing with anger, the Golden Core Elder was inside his Invisible Jade Gourd, a Flying Artifact currently soaring high above a city.
âHow did I end up here?â
Realizing he was at the site of the grand competition of all Immortal Sects, it was no wonder he arrived here.
If he didnât venture outside, he would join the other Golden Core Elders of the Mount Tai Sect to lead their disciples in the competition.
This was a perfect opportunity for the Elder to find a place to stay, observe the Cultivation World for a while, and, after completing his current task, seek out another location suitable for summoning souls.
Thinking this, the Golden Core Elder descended his Flying Artifact, retracted the Invisible Jade Gourd, and revealed himself in a forest not far from the city.
The Golden Core Elder disguised himself as a Taoist, held a Buddha Dust and set up a fortune-telling sign as he walked into the factory area.
It was daytime, and the street was full of vendors and shoppers; in a few days, the grand competition would be the talk of the town.
In the city, there was a very large martial arts field where the competition, held every few years, was the most vibrant event in the county.
Many had arrived early, renting houses or shops to live in, or even letting out their homes to make some money.
The Golden Core Elder did not immediately rent a room to stay in but rather found a place to stand, pulling out a table and chair from his Storage Bag.
He sat there, offering fortune-telling to disguise his identity.
Over the years, he had become adept at doing so, learning some unconventional methods along the way.
While his fortunes seemed genuine, they were in fact based on reading peopleâs expressions and other subtle cues.
This was just a means of concealing his identity, no matter how much money he could make, he sat on the stool, resting and restoring his spiritual energy.
Having been so beleaguered and using up so much spiritual energy a moment ago, he took this opportunity to rest and regain his strength.
âŠ
Hell Palace was engulfed in the darkness of the night.
Jiang Tang saw his Xuanming Spiritual Fire burning the Hell Palace and felt he shouldnât burn the creatures inside to death, so he withdrew the Xuanming Spiritual Fire back into his body.
The battlefield from just now, within the gray earth, no longer showed any trace of blood, all had been vaporized by the flames and turned into the air.
The Hell Palace in the night remained shrouded in gray, without even a hint of fire, as ghost cultivators hid away, and demonic beasts concealed themselves beneath the gray earth, not even daring to breathe heavily.
QuietâŠ
Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief as the fighting outside the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space had ceased, then felt a wave of elation.
As a disciple at the Mid Foundation Establishment stage, he could release spiritual fire and repel enemies.
âDaddy, congratulations!
Now you can protect yourself without Eryaoâs help,â
Eryao praised joyously as he hopped around Jiang Tang, feeling glad that his master no longer needed his protection, meaning he wouldnât have to work like an ox every time.
âMooâŠâ
Little Blue Ox also jumped around and cheered.
Jiang Tang laughed heartily with joy, indeed it was a pleasing matter, as he had always been a nobody, protected and bullied by others; today he got to bully others for a change, and it felt thrilling.
No wonder people enjoyed bullying others; it turned out to be a joyful affair.
However, âdo not do to others what you donât want done to yourselfâ; avoiding provoking others on purpose, yet also not allowing others to bully oneself, that was Jiang Tangâs principle.
Having the capability, he could also perform good deeds.
âDaddy, Iâm hungry,â
Eryao started acting coquettishly again.
âHungry?
Cook rice then.
You guys know how to cook, Iâll take care of the stir-fry, and thereâs still some fish left.
Letâs make grilled fish today,â
âYay, yay, yayâŠâ
Jiang Tang also felt hungry, wanting to replenish his body with nutrients after using spiritual power.
Even with Bigu Pills, he preferred cooking meals; food that was tasted in the mouth was certainly better than consuming Bigu Pills.
Moreover, with so much food in the space, such as Spirit Rice, if he didnât eat it, he couldnât sell it, and the space was still being cultivated.
Eryao cooked a very large pot of rice.
Jiang Tang fried some Spirit Herb Sprouts and then used his Xuanming Spiritual Fire to roast the fish.
The space was filled with the mouthwatering scent of roasted fish, making Eryao and Little Blue Ox drool at the smell.
After the fish was roasted, Jiang Tang tasted the tender and fragrant grilled fish and felt that fish from the river within the Hell Palace were especially delicious, better than Spirit Fish bought from the market outside.
Jiang Tang and his two pets enjoyed a very satisfying meal together.
