Chapter 61

"Jinzhao Tianfen!"

Using the intangible Jinzhao Tianyan, instantly ignite the air, and then burn everything within the controllable range!

According to the jade slip, this is the most difficult step.

After cultivators have completed all previous steps at the cost of their lives, they still need to perceive the spirit of all things in the universe to ignite them from a distance.

Xu Xiaoshou closed his eyes, trying to find the spirit of all things in the universe.

The next second, he opened his eyes.

"What's going on..."

"I've already completed the step of 'struggling to the death' in cultivation, and this perception of all things..."

"How can it be so easy?"

He didn't even need to use the passive skill 'Perception.' Just with the sword intent of 'All Things Are Swords,' he could sense the spirit of all things in the universe and control everything within a dozen or so yards.

Xu Xiaoshou stroked his chin, thinking it couldn't be that simple...

"It shouldn't be possible. How could the jade slip be wrong?"

"There are also the experiences of two other cultivators inside. I don't know who they are, but they shouldn't be far off."

"They spent several months, and even if I'm a genius, it's impossible to master it in a second!"

Xu Xiaoshou shook his head and closed his eyes again to perceive.

This time, he used the second method, the passive skill: Perception.

A second later, he opened his eyes again.

"Strange, I have the feeling that I succeeded again..."

Xu Xiaoshou, not believing in this, decided to skip the perception step and go directly to the last step recorded in the jade slip.

He compressed the Jinzhao Lingyuan in his body instantly, bent his body, and then straightened it abruptly, looking like he was about to explode from a distance.

Of course, it was impossible to explode, but the intangible 'Jinzhao Tianyan' could follow this force and attach to the spirit of all things in the universe.

"Whoosh!"

A wave of air spread through the void.

Xu Xiaoshou looked around, and it seemed nothing had changed...

Did I really fail?

His expression darkened, and he was about to try again when he suddenly heard a familiar sound.

"Puff puff!"

This is...

Did I succeed?

Looking around, there seemed to be faint white glows flickering, which was the Jinzhao Tianyan!

Xu Xiaoshou was overjoyed, but the next moment, his face turned black.

"Clack clack!"

White fire glows rose from all parts of the house, and the puffing sounds echoed everywhere.

These fire glows looked like just a few points, but Xu Xiaoshou already sensed that the flames covered the entire house!

Unlike ordinary flames, which burn in a regular pattern, these appeared and instantly exploded.

The table, windows, and the bed he was reluctant to step on...

All of them crackled and instantly exploded into pieces.

On each small fragment, white glows reappeared, and the invisible flames flickered, burning everything to ashes without leaving a trace.

"Damn!"

Xu Xiaoshou stumbled, almost kneeling on the spot, but he forced himself to stay alert and crawled out of the door.

"Boom!"

As soon as he left, the explosion sounded behind him, and the house exploded, leaving a mess.

"Puff puff puff!"

On the broken wooden boards, white flames flickered, invisible, yet Xu Xiaoshou's house was already destroyed.

"Drizzle..."

The rain fell, and his heart felt cold.

Xu Xiaoshou stared at everything, feeling his heart twitch.

This is a newly built house!

The Spirit Affairs Pavilion only assigned the task a short while ago, and it cost him a lot of spirit crystals to build the house. Is it really gone like this?

His hair was soaked by the rain, and the bloodstains from his cultivation remained. The blood spread from his feet.

Although his physical injuries had long healed, he still felt a lingering pain...

He clutched his chest and fell to the ground.

"House, I'm sorry!"

"I promise it won't happen again!"

Xu Xiaoshou was truly at a loss, wishing he had refined the 'Jinzhao Fire Seed' on the bed.

He thought he had plenty of time, but that moment of separation turned out to be eternal!

"Puff puff..."

The house burned to nothing in front of him. The rain was not heavy enough to extinguish the terrifying Jinzhao Tianyan.

Xu Xiaoshou was shocked, as the transparent flames were invisible without careful perception, and he could only see the wooden boards rapidly burning.

"Not even ashes left..."

He watched until the last second, and indeed, not a trace remained!

In front of him, there was nothing but a bare space, as if the house had never existed.

"If this were used on an enemy..."

Xu Xiaoshou shivered in the rain, feeling a chill down his spine.

Even he was scared...

This spirit technique is too terrifying!

He looked up, letting the rain beat on his face, and suddenly pointed at the night sky.

"Thief of the heavens, give me back my house!"

Hiss!

As soon as he spoke, the water in the courtyard vaporized. The air, which was cool from the rain, suddenly became hot.

"Aaaaah!"

Xu Xiaoshou howled to the sky, and the raindrops that fell from the sky evaporated in the air before reaching the ground.

The young man in the courtyard stopped his dramatic behavior, seemingly stunned by the scene. The fine rain and the mist rising in the air created a surreal scene.

"So strong, so cool..."

Xu Xiaoshou clenched his fists, this is it!

This is what he saw in the热血动漫 (hot-blooded anime) he watched as a child, where one's anger could change the world.

"Boom!"

Silver lightning danced in the dark sky, and thunder roared, startling Xu Xiaoshou.

"Sorry, sorry, I was wrong..."

He curled up and ran quickly to the guest room.

...

Hiss!

The Jinzhao Lingyuan rose, and his clothes and hair dried instantly.

"This is too convenient!" Xu Xiaoshou grabbed his clothes, amazed.

The only downside was that some bloodstains from refining the fire seed remained, and the rain couldn't wash them away completely.

Xu Xiaoshou sniffed his collar, detecting a faint, dirty smell.

"I still need to take a shower..."

He looked around and sat on a small wooden stool, feeling helpless.

The guest room was very narrow, with an old wooden bed taking up most of the space, and no bedding.

The rest of the room contained a small wooden stool and a low table with a missing corner.

There was no private bathroom, so he would have to go to the ancient well by the spirit pool in the courtyard to wash.

Xu Xiaoshou now deeply missed his main house, and he swore he would never act impulsively again!

If he needed to cultivate or test something uncertain, it would be better to do it in the courtyard.

Hmm, even the courtyard isn't good enough; it would be best to go to Goose Lake...

Xu Xiaoshou remembered the scene from a few days ago when he cultivated at Goose Lake. He had clearly damaged the white jade railing, but it was repaired the next day.

"As long as I'm not caught, it's a free cultivation ground!"

He tapped his fingers on the wooden table, thinking it was a good choice. As for whether to take a shower now...

He looked at the night sky, the rain continued, and it was almost dawn.

A shower is definitely necessary, but before that, there was a very important matter to take care of.

He rubbed his hands, looking forward to it, and focused on the red interface in his mind.

"Passive value: 81032."
