Chapter 34

It's Monday again, a new week, a fresh start. Surprisingly, I didn't make it to the homepage last week. I accept this; it's my fault for not updating enough. This is the last week for this book, and I hope everyone can support it, giving it a perfect ending for the new book month.

Still, the same words: I ask for your collections and recommendations!

The clear blue sky was cloudless, as clear as jade.

The light shone down from the sky, flowing smoothly.

A gentle breeze rustled the branches of the ancient pines, swaying left and right.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!!!

The pleasant sounds were like a symphony, echoing beside the mountain rocks.

At this moment, a single sentence made the fire crow, which was lying on the rock with numerous injuries, stand up, showing just how shocked it was, truly a stunning revelation.

Qianlan Yaoshen's words shattered Yang Qifeng's inner speculations, his mouth feeling as if it were weighed down by a heavy stone, unable to open.

Yang Qifeng didn't speak, and Qianlan Yaoshen continued in a steady, unhurried tone, "Do you think I had the ability to help you detonate the Bagua Immortal Furnace from the beginning?"

"If you think so, you're overestimating me."

"I am just a demon whose true body has been shattered, leaving only my divine soul. Your ability to detonate the Bagua Immortal Furnace this time was also a stroke of luck."

"The Bagua Immortal Furnace, after breaking through the thirty-three layers of the fetal membrane and suffering severe damage from the explosion, became an unowned object. After your initial refinement, it reached the standard, but that was not enough. I had to prepare beforehand. That was your great fortune; the opponent underestimated you, causing a lapse that gave you the chance to detonate it."

"Otherwise, a Celestial Immortal could crush you, a mere mortal, without any effort."

Underestimation, no, Yang Qifeng didn't think that the despicable woman would underestimate him. From the beginning, she completely ignored him. The gap in their strength was too great, like the difference between a human and an ant.

Faced with a mere ant like Yang Qifeng, you naturally wouldn't actively guard against it. After all, no matter how much an ant resists, it can never be a match for a human.

Yang Qifeng wouldn't fully believe Qianlan Yaoshen's words; there must be some falsehood. These last few sentences, in Yang Qifeng's view, were meant to alleviate his inner dissatisfaction.

Qianlan Yaoshen must have his own means of self-preservation, Yang Qifeng firmly believed.

"Now that the Six Ding Divine Fire has been divided into the Three Flavors True Fire and the Three Realms Purifying Fire, with the Three Flavors True Fire taken away, half of your foundation is damaged. Do you have any way to make up for it?" Yang Qifeng pondered for a moment, unable to contain himself, and finally asked the question he longed to know.

This was the pain in Yang Qifeng's heart. If he couldn't become an immortal, he would never have the power to take revenge on that despicable woman. If he were in the Bagua Immortal Furnace, he might be able to accept it, but now, Yang Qifeng couldn't accept it because he yearned for power to avenge her.

Revenge is what Yang Qifeng is all about.

Without becoming an immortal, he would have no power to take revenge.

Qianlan Yaoshen countered, "Do you want to retrieve the lost Six Ding Divine Fire to continue eroding your soul and gradually deplete your lifespan?"

"So you're wrong about that. Your immediate priority is to cultivate, condense a demon core, form a divine soul, seek out pure yang treasures to refine, and achieve the Primordial Spirit," Qianlan Yaoshen's tone quickened, abandoning his previous unhurried manner. Without waiting for Yang Qifeng to respond, he immediately continued.

"Without the obstruction of the Six Ding Divine Fire, the Three Realms Purifying Fire alone cannot erode you. This way, you won't have to divide your attention to resist it, and your cultivation speed will increase tenfold. In recent years, you have been refining your magical power but have never reached the limit of 9,999 years. You didn't notice that this was due to the obstruction of the Six Ding Divine Fire."

"What's the point of increasing my cultivation speed tenfold if my foundation is damaged, and I can never reach the pinnacle of immortality?" Yang Qifeng's eyes, sharp and focused, stared at the ring on the talon. At this moment, Yang Qifeng sensed something.

"Believing that despicable woman about your inability to become an immortal is just her way of demoralizing you, making you willingly cooperate with her to extract the Three Realms Purifying Fire from your body," Qianlan Yaoshen sneered.

"Are you saying I can achieve immortality?" Yang Qifeng's voice carried a hint of joy.

"No, with your foundation half-destroyed, the Primordial Spirit is your limit."

"Isn't that contradictory?" Yang Qifeng asked, puzzled, and waited quietly for Qianlan Yaoshen's explanation.

"Not at all. You can achieve immortality, but you need to make up for the half of your foundation that has collapsed. Without a complete foundation, you naturally cannot reach the pinnacle of immortality."

"Making up for the foundation, this brings us back to the starting point," Yang Qifeng's confusion deepened, but after a few seconds, he realized that while it seemed like they were back at the starting point, the order of events was crucial. Making up for the foundation is not something to do now but after achieving the Primordial Spirit. By then, the benefits would be clear: achieving the Primordial Spirit means having already condensed a divine soul.

Even if the Six Ding Divine Fire reappeared, Yang Qifeng would not be as helpless as he is now but would have some resistance.

Seeing the look of relief on Yang Qifeng's face, Qianlan Yaoshen knew he had understood. He spoke in a deep voice, "As for that despicable woman, she is a Celestial Immortal, possessing innate treasures and extraordinary abilities. You won't be able to take revenge on her anytime soon. But the child about to be born, who will bear the great enmity you have inflicted, will be entangled in karma and cannot escape retribution."

Yang Qifeng's eyes were filled with a cold, murderous intent, and a fierce expression appeared on his face. Unconsciously, Yang Qifeng had changed a lot. The idea of not involving his family had been abandoned. The despicable woman deserved to die, and the child deserved to be killed.

"Every cause has its effect. The Buddhist monks are right. This time, it seems you have suffered a great calamity, almost dying, but this also contains your opportunity," Qianlan Yaoshen's eyes were deep, and he continued in a relaxed tone, "That despicable woman wanted to take the Six Ding Divine Fire for the child, integrating it into the placenta so that the child could be born with the Six Ding Divine Fire as their innate ability. But she only succeeded halfway. She lacks the Three Realms Purifying Fire, and you lack the Three Flavors True Fire. When the child is born and wants to advance further, or when you want to make up for your foundation, you will both need to cultivate the missing half."

"This is your opportunity. After stepping into the path of immortality, as long as you kill the opponent and extract their Six Ding Divine Fire, integrating it into yourself, you will advance further. For example, you can return from the acquired state to the innate state, achieving the innate spirit of the Golden Crow True Body."
