Chapter 56

"Jasmine, what's going on?" Yun Che raised his hands, looking at the flames on his body, and said with a shocked expression.

Jasmine did not answer him. She silently watched the flames around Yun Che's body from within the Heavenly Poison Pearl and muttered, "The color of his mystic veins has changed. It seems that it is indeed one of the five seeds left by the Evil God. In other words, this place is actually one of the five secret lands of the Evil God!"

"Could it be that he found it so easily? Should I say he has incredible luck... or is it... the guidance of the Evil God's mystic veins?"

The flames on Yun Che's body burned brighter and brighter, quickly reaching several dozen meters in height. The walls around him, and even the rocks beneath his feet, slowly melted and sank, giving an idea of how terrifying the temperature of these flames was. However, Yun Che did not suffer any damage at all, nor did he feel even a hint of discomfort.

In the midst of the flames, he felt his mystic veins trembling violently. He finally calmed down and hurriedly inspected his mystic veins internally... At this moment, he almost shouted in shock.

Because his mystic veins... had completely turned a deep red! Even the fifty-four mystic gates that were fully opened had turned a deeper red.

What... is happening?

His mystic power began to rapidly surge within his mystic veins. Streams of unknown mystic power quickly poured in, causing the mystic power in his veins to rapidly expand, and expand... until it reached the limit of what his mystic veins could contain...

Bang...

A faint sound, and Yun Che vaguely heard something being broken.

The mystic power in his mystic veins quickly contracted, the quantity unchanged but much more substantial. This was clearly... the most obvious sign of a mystic power level breakthrough!

His mystic power had, in the blink of an eye, jumped from the fourth level of the Initial Mystic Realm directly to the fifth level of the Initial Mystic Realm!

But it was far from over. The mystic power in his mystic veins continued to rapidly expand, and the unknown mystic power poured in like a madman, filling his newly broken-through mystic veins once again, followed by...

Bang!

The nature of the mystic power in his mystic veins once again underwent a level breakthrough. From the fifth level of the Initial Mystic Realm, it leaped to the sixth level of the Initial Mystic Realm.

Yun Che's mouth opened wide in shock. Even with his two lifetimes of experience, he almost couldn't accept this completely shocking mystic power advancement. From the time the flames on his body ignited to now, less than half a minute had passed, and his mystic power level had directly jumped from the fourth level of the Initial Mystic Realm to the sixth level of the Initial Mystic Realm!!

Such a thing, not to mention encountering it, he had never even heard of it!

He even had a moment where he felt like he was dreaming.

The two-level leap was still not the end. The crimson flames on Yun Che's body continued to slowly rise, gradually bursting to several dozen meters in height. The ground around him was melting and sinking, and streams of lava gathered at his feet, but they did not cause him any damage.

The unknown mystic power continued to crazily surge into his now crimson mystic veins, causing his mystic power to grow at an incredibly terrifying rate...

... Seventh level of the Initial Mystic Realm!

... Eighth level of the Initial Mystic Realm!

... Ninth level of the Initial Mystic Realm!

... Tenth level of the Initial Mystic Realm!

"Jasmine... what's going on?" Yun Che bit his tongue hard; this was already the third time he had checked if he was dreaming! These few minutes felt like a dream to him. Before he could even recover from the shock of his mystic power leaping two levels, his mystic power had already skyrocketed... directly to the tenth level of the Initial Mystic Realm!!

Even a genius from a major sect, with abundant resources and excellent teachers, would need at least three years to advance from the fourth level of the Initial Mystic Realm to the tenth level! According to the rumors he had heard, Xia Qingyue took three and a half years to advance from the fourth level of the Initial Mystic Realm to the tenth level, a feat that was considered a once-in-a-century occurrence in the small city of Liuyun, and she was hailed as the first genius of Liuyun City!

And he had done it in less than five minutes!!

This not only shattered Yun Che's understanding but completely overturned the basic mystic power growth rules of the Heavenly Profound Continent!

Therefore, while Yun Che's heart was filled with immense joy, it was even more filled with immense shock!

More terrifyingly, the expansion of his mystic power had not stopped, and the speed had not slowed down! Even at the tenth level of the Initial Mystic Realm, his mystic power continued to rapidly strengthen.

"Indeed, you were right. The thing you ate is one of the five seeds left by the Evil God! This princess searched for so long in the eastern part of the Cangfeng Empire and couldn't find it, but you, with such low abilities, stumbled upon it without even realizing it. Your luck is so good, it should be struck by lightning!" Jasmine's voice carried a hint of frustration.

"... This Evil God's seed can cause such a surge in mystic power?" Yun Che still looked puzzled.

"Probably because the Evil God's seed carries a small amount of the Evil God's power. Now that it has found the successor of the Evil God's mystic veins, it has not only turned your mystic veins into a fire attribute but also bestowed its power upon you. Don't worry, this exaggerated mystic power growth will have no side effects!" Jasmine said slowly.

"Turned my mystic veins... into a fire attribute?"

Bang!!

A feeling of a barrier being directly broken came from deep within Yun Che's mystic veins. The crimson flames that had been burning on his body finally extinguished at this moment.

In that instant, Yun Che clearly felt his entire mystic veins undergo a nearly transcendent change, becoming more resilient and expansive, and even more scorching. The mystic power within was so thick and dense that it was almost unbelievable. Even his every meridian, bone, and flesh seemed to have undergone a transformation, filled with a power far greater than before.

His eyes became clearer, his hearing more acute, and even his perception of the world around him changed significantly. This feeling of being reborn from the inside out almost made him cry out in pleasure. Yun Che raised his head and slowly exhaled, and instantly, a mystic power aura far stronger than before emanated from his body!

"First level of the Entry Mystic Realm! Congratulations, you have finally entered the Entry Mystic Realm. At the age of sixteen, you can now be considered a true mystic. In this land, it shouldn't be too rare," Jasmine said quite calmly.

All the shock, horror, and unease from before vanished the moment he stepped into the first level of the Entry Mystic Realm. He raised his hands and extended a finger. With a thought, a small flame ignited at the tip of his finger. This flame was extremely hot, but it did not burn his skin. Looking at the flame ignited by his mystic power, he smiled silently.

Is this a compensation from heaven? Making me waste sixteen years... but returning to me, in just one day, everything that should have been mine, and even more!

Yun Che silently inspected his mystic veins and saw that they had turned a deep red, like a piece of flawless, transparent red gemstone. Not only his mystic veins, but even his meridians, blood, and every cell contained a hint of crimson.

"By the way, will my body no longer fear the burning of flames in the future?"

Yun Che knew how shocking his words were, but this was the incredibly real feeling his body and mystic veins were conveying to him.

"You're right," Jasmine said, her voice carrying a hint of strangeness. "In ancient legends, the Evil God possessed the most powerful elemental force in the chaotic space. He could control the elements of nature with mystic power and even convert mystic power into elemental power at will. In the memory imprint of the undying blood, it is clearly recorded that the five seeds left by the Evil God contain the 'source power' of this powerful elemental force. If one can obtain this source power, not only can they control the corresponding element, but they will also have 'absolute' immunity to that element!"

"It is also because of this record that, although this princess did not use the Evil God's undying blood herself, she came to this continent at great risk to try to find the secret land of the Evil God mentioned in the memory imprint. The temptation of controlling elements and being immune to them is something even this princess cannot resist. Because, in the present, where true gods have long been completely extinct, this ability is truly..."

"An ability that defies heaven!"

Jasmine's voice suddenly turned cold and icy. "At the same time, this is also a forbidden Pandora's box! Now that you have opened this box, no one knows what chain reactions the re-emergence of this divine ability, which should have been extinct long ago, will cause. Perhaps, you will be struck by heaven, or perhaps, it will bring you endless disasters and misfortunes. Because, if the secret of your body is exposed, countless people in this world will want to kill you and take your heaven-defying power... If not for the fact that this princess shares a life with you, even this princess would want to kill you and take your power."

"... Hey! You don't have to scare me like that, right? Although I've reached the Entry Mystic Realm, it's just the Entry Mystic Realm. Don't talk about defying heaven; even a random mystic beast could easily kill me." Yun Che slightly shrank his neck, pretending to be afraid.

Although he said this, the confirmation from Jasmine that he could control fire and was completely immune to it left his heart in a state of shock that he couldn't calm down. Never fearing fire... this was indeed an ability that only a legendary god could possess! Not to mention humans, even the powerful Flame Dragon that Jasmine had killed, although its attribute was fire, it could never reach the point of being completely immune to fire. If it encountered a fire power far above its level, it would still be burned to nothingness.

"This princess isn't scaring you! So, don't slack off because of the rapid increase in your mystic power. You must quickly improve your strength, at least to the point where you have enough self-preservation ability. Now that your mystic power has reached the Entry Mystic Realm, you need to consolidate your current mystic power. This princess can also start teaching you some mystic techniques that you can learn... Before that, let's deal with this Flame Dragon. Its corpse is a huge treasure for you now!"

Jasmine's tone remained as cold and indifferent as before, devoid of emotion. However, to Yun Che, it gave him a completely different feeling. From her words, he no longer felt the usual disdain, contempt, and occasional annoyance. Although her tone was still hard, there was a faint hint of... concern?
