Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 568 - 314: Divine Fire Sect, Quasi-Great True Monarch Lin Yan

"This..."

At these words, True Monarch You Bing’s expression paused slightly. After a moment, he spoke, "The Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain is a crucial resource for our Ice Valley. May I ask Fellow Daoist Lin Yan, what do you intend to use it for..."

"Is it for cultivating the physical body... or hunting the Earth Flame Spirit Horned Lizard?"

"As I see it, in the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain, only these two matters seem valuable..."

"If it’s these two matters, it might not be impossible. However, could you possibly give Ice Valley something in return? After all, our Ice Valley also has its expenses..."

True Monarch You Bing used a deliberately slower tone to converse.

Although the strength of these two individuals and the power of the Divine Fire Sect behind them are quite strong, considering Ice Valley’s interests, True Monarch You Bing still wanted to negotiate some rightful benefits.

Upon hearing True Monarch You Bing’s words, Lin Yan gave him a glance but said nothing more.

Instead, Zhen Chai beside him sneered contemptuously, "Fellow Daoist You Bing, let me get straight to the point. Neither reason you mentioned is why we’re here..."

"Neither of us is a Body Cultivator, and we’re not interested in the so-called Earth Flame Spirit Horned Lizard."

"If that’s the case, then what’s the reason?" Upon hearing this, True Monarch You Bing’s expression darkened slightly.

His mood didn’t improve; instead, he felt more apprehensive.

If it were a matter of cultivating the physical body or the Earth Flame Spirit Horned Lizard Demon Pill, it might be more easily resolved, as he could at least predict it.

But if it was an unknown reason that even he couldn’t foresee, the situation could become more troublesome.

Sure enough, at this moment, Zhen Chai chuckled and said, "Honestly, Senior Brother Lin and I went to the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain to look for something, but what exactly it is, I can’t tell you."

"However, regarding that item, our Divine Fire Sect is determined to obtain it, whether your Ice Valley agrees or not. We’re definitely going to act, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, True Monarch You Bing took a deep breath.

He understood Zhen Chai’s words.

This was clearly an attempt to apply pressure through power.

Against this, with Ice Valley’s strength, it was somewhat powerless to resist.

He spoke, "I understand, but there are two questions."

"First question, if Ice Valley allows the two of you to enter and search, can we receive any compensation?"

Knowing it was difficult to stop these two, he still wanted to negotiate some benefits for Ice Valley.

"You can earn the friendship of our Divine Fire Sect," Zhen Chai replied dismissively.

Upon hearing this, True Monarch You Bing’s anger surged.

Such words were like empty promises, clearly indicating no intention to pay any price.

It was practically robbery.

However, the Divine Fire Sect had a Great True Monarch in residence, a force Ice Valley couldn’t provoke, so True Monarch You Bing took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Second question, currently, a Quasi-Great True Monarch is cultivating the physical body beneath the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain. Can the two of you wait a moment for him to exit before you use it..."

True Monarch You Bing stated the second question.

"Oh? There’s actually another Quasi-Great True Monarch in there?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan frowned, speaking directly.

He looked coldly at True Monarch You Bing, speaking bluntly, "I thought the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain was a significant resource for your Ice Valley, which was why I took the time and patience to talk to you."

"But instead, you’re putting on a show and letting another person enter the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain first?"

"Are you intentionally trying to make a fool of me, Lin Yan?"

Shu!

As his words fell, a terrifying spiritual pressure of a Quasi-Great True Monarch spread out like a storm, pressing down on True Monarch You Bing.

Suddenly, True Monarch You Bing felt the surrounding space growing heavy, making him feel immense pressure.

"It’s not that I want to mock Fellow Daoist Lin Yan, but this Quasi-Great True Monarch once helped me refine a rare pill and aided me. Because of this transaction, I willingly let him enter the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain for cultivation."

True Monarch You Bing spoke.

There was an implied meaning in his words.

That was, allowing Lin Yan and Zhen Chai to enter the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain now was not his voluntary choice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan sneered.

He didn’t care whether True Monarch You Bing was willing or not, as long as he could enter the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain to find that item.

"Zhen Chai, let’s go."

Lin Yan turned around directly, transforming into an escape light, shooting towards the sky.

"Fellow Daoist You Bing, I hope the item beneath the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain hasn’t been taken by the Quasi-Great True Monarch you mentioned, otherwise, Ice Valley will share the blame and bear the responsibility."

Zhen Chai glanced at True Monarch You Bing, leaving these words behind, before also transforming into an escape light, following Lin Yan.

True Monarch You Bing lifted his gaze, watching the direction in which the two escape lights disappeared, his eyes flickering with coldness.

Although Lin Yan and Zhen Chai never mentioned what "that thing" was.

As the Ice Valley Supreme Elder, having occupied the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain for so long, he naturally couldn’t truly be ignorant. Although he hadn’t seen it, he had some guesses in his heart.

"Divine Fire Sect..."

"Although you excel in Fire Element Cultivation Methods and Fire Element Divine Techniques, that item is inherently hidden, difficult for others to detect. In all these years, even I have never seen it. I don’t believe you’ll easily find it either."

Power... power...

True Monarch You Bing withdrew his gaze, feeling a sense of frustration in his heart.

In front of the powerful Divine Fire Sect, he truly felt powerless.

Then, he took out a Talisman from his Qiankun Bag.

Hoo.

The Talisman began to burn in the void.

"Fellow Daoist Qichuan, currently, Lin Yan and Zhen Chai of the Divine Fire Sect are rapidly heading to the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain, intending to search for a potentially hidden special spirit flame. This is a Sect overseen by a Great True Monarch, with Lin Yan having Quasi-Great True Monarch strength, the Nascent Soul possibly at Five-inch and Ninety-five... Be cautious in all matters, I suggest withdrawing first to avoid confronting these two..."

Subsequently, a piece of information was swiftly transmitted through the power of the Talisman in the void.

Watching the Talisman turn to ashes, True Monarch You Bing sighed.

Compared to Lin Yan, he preferred dealing with a Quasi-Great True Monarch like Qichuan.

"This special spirit flame is already being targeted by the Divine Fire Sect. Rather than letting the special spirit flame fall into the hands of the Divine Fire Sect, it might as well go to Qichuan..."

"However, I fear even Qichuan might have difficulty discovering the special spirit flame beneath the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain. Never mind, let it be, at least notify Qichuan so he can be prepared..."

True Monarch You Bing thought silently.

...

Meanwhile, at the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain.

At the location of the eight hundred zhang magma layer, Qichuan was sitting cross-legged, operating the Bright King Technique, cultivating his physical body.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes sharply.

Then he took out a Talisman from his Qiankun Bag.

The Talisman began to burn in his hand, followed by a voice slowly emerging.

"Fellow Daoist Qichuan, currently, Lin Yan and Zhen Chai of the Divine Fire Sect are rapidly heading to the Earth Flame Sea Fire Mountain, intending to search for a potentially hidden special spirit flame. This is a Sect overseen by a Great True Monarch, with Lin Yan having Quasi-Great True Monarch strength, the Nascent Soul possibly at Five-inch and Ninety-five... Be cautious in all matters, I suggest withdrawing first to avoid confronting these two..."

It was the voice of True Monarch You Bing.

After listening, Qichuan’s gaze flickered slightly.

True Monarch You Bing actually knew about the existence of the special spirit flame and actively informed him about it, which he hadn’t expected.

However...

"Lin Yan of the Divine Fire Sect, a Quasi-Great True Monarch with a Nascent Soul at Five-inch and Ninety-five, is it?"

Such a person might be strong in the eyes of others, but he would not be a match for Qichuan.

Unfortunately, the Divine Fire Sect had a Great True Monarch in residence.

"Let’s see what happens first."

Qichuan swallowed a healing elixir and began to mobilize the Nascent Soul for refinement, restoring his physical body.
