Jiang Chen had mastered the profound-grade cultivation technique, Great Sun Technique, to the first level.
Jiang Chen also finished his comprehension of the Divine Sea realm.
At this moment, his path of cultivation no longer had any obstructions!
As such, he made up his mind and began cultivating.
As the Great Sun Technique circulated, Jiang Chen felt as if his body had turned into a blazing furnace in an instant. Flames rose all over his body, and with a chi sound, a 30-feet-tall bright yellow flame was ignited.
Within a radius of ten thousand feet, Jiang Chen’s body sucked in boundless fire spirit qi, as if he was a whale breathing in a massive amount of air.
Spirit qi surged into his body as his 1,000-feet-wide spirit sea boiled with surging waves.
The golden projection of the Authentic Solar Fire in the sky above the spirit sea also released a stream of golden flames into the sea, dyeing its entirety a golden-red color. It was filled with a vast sense of masculinity.
The spirit qi gradually liquefied. Ten feet, one hundred feet, thirty hundred feet…
“The replenishment of spirit qi isn’t keeping up with the speed of liquefying!”
As the liquefying sped up, Jiang Chen felt that the rate of spirit qi replenishment with the surrounding heaven and earth qi could no longer keep up with the speed of refining.
“Fortunately, I was prepared.”
Jiang Chen waved his hand, and six translucent jade bottles appeared before him.
Using his spirit qi, the bottle was opened, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out.
These six bottles of medicinal pills were all high-quality Spirit Accumulation Pills. Each pill contained rich medicinal effects. In the entire Skyfire Sect, only three spirit pill masters could refine high-grade spirit pills.
There were 12 medicinal pills in each jade bottle, a total of 72 pills. All of them were accumulated by him over the past six months to be used in achieving his breakthrough today.
Jiang Chen immediately took out a jade box. Inside the box was a vermillion-colored fruit that seemed to be burning with flames. It was a profound-grade item, the Vermillion Fruit.
This was also the most precious spirit item that Jiang Chen had obtained from signing in over the past half a year. It was a profound-grade treasure, and not only did it contain an abundance of fire spiritual energy, it also possessed the effect of calming the mind.
Now that he was about to achieve a breakthrough, he had to take it out just in case.
Although Jiang Chen didn’t think he needed this Vermilion Fruit, it was better than nothing.
It was always better to be safe than sorry.
The next moment…
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and inhaled sharply.
Among the six jade bottles in front of him, 72 Spirit Accumulation Pills turned into pure spiritual energy and entered his mouth.
Instantly, the liquidized spiritual energy inside Jiang Chen’s body, which had almost stagnated, was being replenished by a huge amount of spirit qi. It was constantly rising and circulating, and the aura exuding from his body became increasingly terrifying.
Boom!
The bright yellow flames on Jiang Chen’s body suddenly grew several times. From afar, he looked like a small sun.
The Spirit Accumulation Pill was a high-quality spirit pill. Its medicinal properties were mild and easy to absorb. However, when ordinary people broke through, they would never dare to consume them the way he did.
Seventy-two pills at once!
No matter how mild the medicinal properties were, once the quantity increased, it would definitely produce a terrifying and violent effect.
However, Jiang Chen had already cultivated the Fire Body Tempering to the sixth level. With the enhancement of the Authentic Solar Fire, the toughness of his body was already no different from a true Divine Sea-realm expert.
With the replenishment of the vast amount of spirit qi, the speed at which the spirit qi liquefied also increased.
Finally, the last bit of spirit qi in his spirit sea turned into liquid.
The liquefied spirit qi became thicker, vaster, and deeper. Each drop of spirit liquid seemed to weigh thousands of kilograms.
As a result, the aura on Jiang Chen’s body also grew stronger and was as mighty as a roaring sea.
The next moment…
Jiang Chen opened his eyes, which flickered with golden flames. Then, the flames on his body immediately withdrew, and that heavy mountain-like aura instantly disappeared.
He had regained the aura of an ordinary labor disciple.
“Is this the Divine Sea realm?!”
Jiang Chen carefully sensed the changes in his body. After a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, the liquefied spirit qi in his spirit sea had already transformed into another kind of energy. Its strength was 10 times stronger than before.
Magic power.
This was a power that only Divine Sea-realm cultivators could grasp.
Magic power was vaster, deeper, more powerful, of a higher quality, and more potent than spiritual energy.
At this moment, his body was unceasingly flowing, and Jiang Chen could feel that it was incessantly becoming stronger.
This was also why no matter how strong a Dao Initiation cultivator was, they were still no match for a Divine Sea one using a finger’s worth of their strength.
He could finally be considered an expert in the Skyfire Sect.
Even if his cultivation did not improve any further in the future, he would be able to survive for 300 years, barring any illness or disaster. His current strength was good enough for him to become a deacon in the sect.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Jiang Chen was delighted.
Once he entered the Divine Sea realm, he was no longer a mortal. With his tyrannical magic power, he would be able to fly through the air. Although the highest he could reach was only about a hundred meters, and the furthest he could reach was several hundred meters.
But in the eyes of mortals, such abilities were no different from that of immortals.
Jiang Chen waved his hand, and a stream of magic power turned into flames. He used them to clean up all traces of him being in the cave before leaving.
However, he did not know that a moment after he left…
A figure wrapped in flames arrived in front of the cave. When the flames dissipated, it revealed Deacon Liu, who was guarding the Fire Gathering Spiritual Array outside the Magma Domain.
Flames flickered in his eyes as he surveyed his surroundings. However, Deacon Liu found nothing.
“This is strange. Why is it that during this period of time, there are always abnormal movements of fire spiritual energy?”
Deacon Liu’s face was filled with astonishment. However, after investigating, he did not find any clues at all and just treated it as some unknown phenomenon.
It had already been two years since Jiang Chen broke through to the Divine Sea realm, and he had been in the Firesmith Hall for nearly four years.
After signing in and obtaining another bottle of Spirit Accumulation Pills, he was about to carry out his daily maintenance of the array formation.
But before he could walk out of the hall, he was stopped by the green-robed steward.
This steward gave an absolute order, “Jiang Chen, Wang Cheng accidentally died yesterday. Before the new firesmith laborer comes, his job will be yours.”
“Alright.” Jiang Chen had no objections.
This way, he could openly enter a larger area, and he would have more places to sign in.
With more choices, there would be more opportunities to obtain good items.
With that, Jiang Chen picked up another bucket of fire spirit stones, lifted them up with ease, and left the hall.
The green-robed steward looked at Jiang Chen’s departing figure with a faint gaze as a thought surfaced in his mind.
Hmph, I’m going to find out what secrets you’re hiding. Who knows? It might even help me break through, and I would no longer have to be a useless steward here.
Jiang Chen, who he thought would not live more than a year and a half, had actually lived for almost four years unscathed. He had already surpassed the longest record of the laborers in charge of the West District in the history of Firesmith Hall.
Moreover, it didn’t look like the fire poison had entered his body at all. Instead, he looked very strong and healthy.
There must be some secret on this laborer!
This was the secret he wanted to find out!
