Emperor of The Cosmos Chapter 135
Re-encounter With Meng Xingyun
The volcano was constantly emiting black fumes and heat waves. The temperature here was at least as hot as 80 degrees. If they went on any further, the temperature would by now be even higher.
Just standing here for a while would make you feel dizzy from all sorts of poisonous fumes.
If you wanted to go in and pick that fire cleansing flower without any mechas or protection on, it was the same thing as looking for death.
Jiang Li knew that Hong Heiyu was making them experience the torture of hell. As long as he was there, they wouldn’t die. They would only feel like they’d rather die than live. After the many times of torture, their hearts would grow more peaceful and they would start to think of hell as nothing.
“Teacher, we can’t do this, this way we’ll be poisoned.” Li Zhen coughed.
“Useless!” Hong Heiyu walked up and gave him another slap: “You’re bodies are hundreds of times stronger than normal people. Your lung’s ability to clean poisons is also superb, why rely on something else? Look.”
As he spoke, he took a big breath in. it could be seen that a lot of smoke and poisonous gas that had been sucked into his mouth.
Then, he coughed and coughed out a pitch black clot of mucus. All the black smoke that entered his body was actually purified by his lungs and then changed into mucus.
“Amazing!”
Jiang Li was shocked and began to learn this technique. He saw that Hong Heiyu just then had used the powerful ability of his lungs and blood to cripple to poison and then filter it out with his lungs. After he condensed the particles, he used the clotted liquid in his body to envelop the particles and spit it out.
His control of his body was on a microscopic level.
“The body, is the strongest and most intricate machine. If your spirit can accurately control every part of your body, then you can survive anywhere, without having to use any tools. When the poisonous gas enters your body, you can catalyze the antidotal attributes of your blood to cure poison. And the through your sweat, you can remove the poison from your body. When the particles enter you lungs, you can secrete liquids to envelope the particles and spit them back out. With your spiritual state, you can feel if any part of your body is uncomfortable or sick and then catalyze the corresponding secretion to recover from it. You have consumed so many spirit stones. Your cells already have enough energy stored that has yet to be released.”
Hong Heiyu explained how they could use their spirits to control their internal secretion, how to secrete liquids, and cleanse the lung of particles. This was a lesson perfectly analyzing the secrets of the human body.
“You also need to learn how to absorb heat energy. When the heat wave strikes, you can open your hair glands and close them to take in the heat. Then spray it out from your mouth so as to prevent the heat from damaging your organs. This will keep the inside clean and cool. As long as your organs aren’t damaged, you will still have a strong battle power.”
As he spoke, Hong Heiyu demonstrated. With him being at the centre, the temperature around him dropped by a lot. It seemed that a lot of heat had been absorbed by his hair glands. And when he exhaled, the heat was also intense. It made people feel as if his breath was hotter than a 100 degrees.
“Our teacher is really strong.” Jiang Li learnt a lot of things then, especially about the hair glands intaking heat, converting it, concentrating and then spewing it out from the mouth to keep the insides cool. This was quite similar to some of the techniques in the Emperor Fire Seal. Originally, he didn’t quite understand some of the moves in the Emperor Fire Seal but now, all seemed to have become clear to him!
At the same time, he rejoiced that he had taken it slow and hadn’t tried to cultivate the Emperor Water Seal. Otherwise, how could he have learned the true secrets of the Emperor Fire Seal.
He even thought that he should go back and research more about the wind and lightning seal. There must be specifics of these two seals that he still didn’t completely understand.
Before he formed his holy fetus, the Spiritual Emperor Seal was still martial arts, and not an immortal arts.
According to what the white clothed man said, when he cultivated the Spiritual Emperor Seal, he would then also form the Emperor Fetus. This path was much harder than the usual one.
So now, he also had to build a solid foundation and musn’t strive for speed. He is going to cultivate step by step.
He started learning what Hong Heiyu did. He secretly ran the Emperor Fire Seal and as expected, when the fire wave hit him, it was absorbed by the skin. Before it went into the internal organs, it was already spewed out.
Sometimes when he spat, a black clot of mucus was also spat out, which contained all the poisonous particles.
Immediately, Jiang Li felt a lot better while he was standing on the volcano.
“Good, you learn very fast.” Seeing this scene, Hong Heiyu applauded: “You seemed to have learnt a technique from the San Mei true fire. It would be very helpful if you experience this volcano.”
Hong Heiyu waved his hand again, letting the people go in and begin their journey.
Rumble!
Suddenly, there was the sound of another battleship in the air.
A huge spaceship appeared out of nowhere and stayed afloat within the air. It looked powerful, and also on the same grade as that as Hong Heiyu’s battle ship.
Hong Heiyu raised his head, there was a different glow in his eyes, they were cold now.
A blight beam shot down from the ship, clearing away all the poisonous smoke as six people appeared.
It was a teacher, 5 other students.
This teacher was a middle aged, tall man. His temperament was different for Hong Heiyu’s.
Hong Heiyu’s temperament was savage yet remained hidden, as if it was some sort of crouching ancient beast. Meanwhile, this middle aged man was much more serene, calm and scholarly. It caused Jiang Li to remember the alliance lord from the martial arts novels.”
Meanwhile, Hong Heiyu was the half good and half bad, alliance of the left side.
“Gui Junzi, it’s you.” Hong Heiyu gave off a long superficial laugh, and greeted, “You also brought your students here to cultivate?”
“Of course it’s me. There would a wave in this volcano group on this day for each year. The magma in the depth surges and brings the things at the very bottom of it to the top. There may even be fire attribute spirit stones. This type of spirit stone is very precious. If people consume it, the essence of fire will be stored in their cells and will gradually improve your body, ridding all the impurities from their flesh. You want to bring your students here to get it, I do as well.” The tall scholarly middle aged man said with a very calm tone.
He was called Gui Junzi, it could be seemn that he was a strong teacher just by looking at him.
“Meng Xingyun!”
Jiang Li immediately saw the tall youth with the other wordly temperament amongst the five students. He had a strong sense of those ancient sword heroes, as if he did not belong to the mortal world. THis was Meng Xingyun, the person who had beaten him last time.
That battle made him lose the right to the top ten.
“So strong, he’s still stronger than me! His life force seems to be on par with Jiang Tianhe.” Jiang Li observed and found out that he still couldn’t estimate Meng Xingyun’s strength.
Before this, when he had fought against Jiang Li 3 months ago, his life force had already been past 3.0.
This wasn’t the most important part. Being the first amongst the new students, he received plenty of attention from the higher levels of the Astral University and was immediately sent on all sorts of special training.
Three months at Astral University really could completely transform someone.
For example Jiang Li, he hadn’t been in for long and also hadn’t been given any sort of special training, but he had already reached 3.0 from 2.5.
All in all, the resources he had received by being in the top ten was 100 times that of the normal students. Every student who got into the top ten would be greatly ahead of students of the same year after thier 3 months of training, especially people like Meng Xingyun. He was the first amongst billions, Jiang Li could not compare to him in terms of potential.
“Jiang Li, it’s you?”
The voice of a small girl sounded.
It was Tang Yan, she was also in this team.
It looked like teacher Gui Junzi was a very strong teacher in the university. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the right to lead a team that had people in the top ten.
Every one of these 5 students wer eall very strong.
The other three students weren’t new and seemed to be old students. Their life force were all above three. It was very common for the older students to have life force of above three.
“This squad is called Godly Arts Squad. It is ranked higher than the Great River Squad.” Li Zhen secretly searched them up: “there were originally 5 old students but during a dangerous mission, they had an encounter with aboriginal cultivators and two of them died. Therefore, this team took the best of the new students.”
“Gui Junzi. I was the one who discovered there would be magma pulses each year that can spew out fire spirit stone. I have been cultivating my [Ten Sided Path of Hell] in here for many years. I was the first one here, what, you want to fight over this with me today?” Hong Heiyu sneered: “You want to fight with me?”
“Hong Heiyu, I admit you’re strong but we have fought many times without anyone taking the victory. There doesn’t seem to be a need for us to battle.” Gui Junzi’s tone was always moderately paced like a scholar: “How about we let our students fight it out? We’ll send our students into the volcano and see who can get the fire spirit stone. Whoever gets it wins.”
“Your student are all in the top ten of this year. This competition is unfair towards me!” Hong Heiyu pierced the ground with his huge sword. The rock was as soft as tofu beneath his sword: “Gui Junzi, although you learn the art of gentlemen all the time, but you are still just a pretentious hypocrite.”
TL note: Jun Zi means gentleman.
“Regardless, I took my students out to experience things. Let’s have the students fight it out, how about it?” Gu Junzi smiled and didn’t appear to be angry: “Aren’t you the best at turning the tables under pressure. You give your students huge ammounts of pressure, making them undertake such hellish training. I think the pressure of this volcano isn’t enough so I’ll give them some more pressure. You should be thanking me.”
“Remember, there will be magma pulses in the depth of the ground from which the fire spirit stones will appear. But before that you must collect enough fire cleansing flower. These flowers can cleanse fire poison and will also give you a resistance against the corrosion of the lava. If you consume it, there should be a cool energy circulating around your body. Each flower has a limited amount of cooling energy. It will only last for ten minutes, so you need to collect more of it and fight for the fire spirit stone… remember, collect as many of those flowers as you can!”
Suddenly, there was a voice in the depth of Jiang Li, Li Zhen and their spirit. It was Hong Heiyu communicating with them using his immense spiritual power.
Meanwhile, Gui Junzi was on the other side and was also quiet. Meng Xingyun and them were nodding their heads as if they were listening to something. Gui Junzi must also be communicating telepathetically with them.
“Hong Heiyu, both of our students can’t wear mechas, protection gear or anything else. They can only go in relying on their bodies, how about that? This can count as a type of training for them.” Gui Junzi waved his hand towards Meng Xingyun and them, “Start heading into the volcano.”
Sho!
Meng Xingyun was the first to dash into the volcano.
“You guys should go as well!” Hong Heiyu didn’t say much and just gave Jiang Li a meaningful look before waving his head.
Jiang Li immediately understood the meaning in Hong Heiyu’s eyes. He wanted Jiang Li to shoulder the responsibilities of a captain and also be careful.
He hurried to take lead, leading the four into the volcano.
This time, the Ten Sided Squad would have to win face for the teacher.
