Chapter 70: Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame

Xu Zhengyang finished the tea in his cup and praised, “Yan Wuchen truly deserves to be a mighty one who reincarnated to cultivate again.

Leaving aside other matters.

Just this decisiveness alone is truly remarkable.”

As he spoke.

A thought stirred in Xu Zhengyang’s heart, and he asked Su Mo, “Yan Wuchen went to such great lengths, painstakingly preparing for this cultivation.

I wonder…

What hidden mysteries does this cultivation art contain that make a reincarnated mighty one expend so much effort?”

Upon hearing this, Su Mo gave a faint smile.

She refilled Xu Zhengyang’s tea and said, “This matter, I do know a bit of the inside story.

It’s just that…”

At this point, Su Mo appeared as if she wanted to speak but held back, simply gazing at Xu Zhengyang with a charming smile.

Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang understood in his heart.

This time going out.

One of his tasks was precisely to investigate Yan Wuchen’s background, so since Su Mo had information.

Xu Zhengyang could not give up, whether for public or personal reasons.

Thus Xu Zhengyang simply took out an unopened bottle of Tier 1 Supreme Blood Pills from the Jade Gourd and pushed it in front of Su Mo, saying, “Naturally, I will not let Miss Su worry in vain.”

Without a change in expression, Su Mo tucked the bottle of Blood Pills into her sleeve before saying, “According to the Pavilion Master.

The cultivation art Yan Wuchen practiced is called the True Scripture of Myriad Laws Suppressing Fortune, one that only a peerless prodigy can cultivate!

This art has the power to seize heaven and earth’s fortune, growing stronger as one’s destiny flourishes!

If one cultivates this art.

A cultivator must reveal extraordinary talent from childhood, seizing destiny with momentum, only then can divine mastery be achieved!”

“So there is such a profound cultivation art…” Xu Zhengyang said with sudden realization.

After hearing Su Mo’s explanation, Xu Zhengyang still felt that Yan Wuchen’s actions carried a strong sense of déjà vu…

But before he could think it through.

Su Mo’s face revealed a trace of longing as she continued, “The expanse of the Central State is more than a hundred times larger than Qingzhou.

Its prosperity and grandeur leave Qingzhou utterly incomparable!

For this very reason.

The sages of the Central State were able to create such a cultivation art that seizes heaven and earth’s fortune—the True Scripture of Myriad Laws Suppressing Fortune.

Gathering the fortune of an entire state, it ensured that every generation of the Central State produced peerless prodigies who would lead the human race in bitter war against alien races of other realms!”

Speaking up to here.

Su Mo’s tone shifted, her face full of disdain as she continued, “For many years.

Qingzhou has been free from wars, its population flourishing, cultivators gathering like clouds, and its fortune flowing endlessly like great rivers!

For this very reason.

Yan Wuchen willingly abandoned his cultivation.

He left the Central State and came here to self-dissolve and reincarnate, precisely to borrow this land’s fortune and secretly prove the Supreme Dao.”

As soon as Su Mo finished speaking.

Xu Zhengyang finally realized where that sense of familiarity came from.

Put plainly.

Wasn’t this just like those students who failed the college entrance exams in their past life, only to repeat another year?

And moreover, the kind who transferred their household registration to a poorer region for extra bonus points, a true opportunist.

Thinking of this.

Xu Zhengyang’s impression of Yan Wuchen instantly fell to the bottom, and he said, “So it turns out this man is nothing but a petty schemer.”

“Master Xu has keen insight.”

Su Mo smiled and said, “So even if you hadn’t challenged Yan Wuchen earlier, someone else would have taken action to stop him from gathering fortune.”

Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang’s heart moved, and he asked, “Could it be that others from the Central State also came to Qingzhou to reincarnate and cultivate again?”

“That’s not the case, for cultivating the True Scripture of Myriad Laws Suppressing Fortune cannot be concealed.”

Su Mo gave a faint smile and winked at Xu Zhengyang, saying, “But then again, who doesn’t have a few enemies?”

Saying this.

Su Mo drew a Jade Slip from her sleeve and said, “Not long ago, the Celestial Treasure Pavilion received a secret bounty.

Any Tier 1 cultivator who can defeat Yan Wuchen head-on, preventing him from cultivating the True Scripture of Myriad Laws Suppressing Fortune…

May choose one treasure as reward!”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang curiously pressed the Jade Slip to his brow, checking its contents.

Spiritual materials, elixirs, magical treasures, secret techniques, cultivation arts…

The Jade Slip contained no small number of treasures, any of which, if chosen, was worth at least a hundred high-grade Spirit Stones on the market!

Xu Zhengyang originally only intended to take a casual look to broaden his horizons.

Although Yan Wuchen was a schemer, in his past life he was at least a Tier 3 cultivator capable of carrying Divine Sense to reincarnate and cultivate again.

Defeating Yan Wuchen with chess skills earlier only made him bear a grudge; but to defeat him head-on, Yan Wuchen might very well pursue Xu Zhengyang endlessly!

Xu Zhengyang had no desire to invite such trouble.

However.

When Xu Zhengyang saw that one of the rewards recorded in the Jade Slip was a different flame called the Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame…

His very breath grew heavy!

【As long as I defeat Yan Wuchen head-on, preventing him from being recognized as Qingzhou’s number one, I can obtain a different flame?】

This was the very different flame Xu Zhengyang had longed for all this time!

Thinking of this.

Xu Zhengyang returned the Jade Slip to Su Mo, drained his teacup in one gulp, and said, “It seems your Pavilion has indeed invested heavily in this matter…”

“So does Master Xu wish to give it a try?” Su Mo asked.

“We’ll see when the time comes.” Xu Zhengyang replied ambiguously.

…

After boarding the Celestial Treasure Pavilion.

Xu Zhengyang not only won a Longevity Pill that could extend life for thirty years, but also uncovered Yan Wuchen’s secrets.

Seeing that his goals had been achieved, and with nothing in the Pavilion worth purchasing, Xu Zhengyang chatted with Su Mo in the cabin for a while longer.

Only then did he reluctantly return with Yang Hong.

…

On the Golden Rosy Cloud-Crossing Boat.

Xu Zhengyang organized the information he had gained from the Celestial Treasure Pavilion into a report and handed it to Chen Qiang.

Moments later.

Chen Qiang removed the Jade Slip from his forehead and praised Xu Zhengyang endlessly, saying, “That’s right!

An article should be written like this, where anyone can understand its meaning at a glance—that’s what makes a good article!”

As he spoke.

Without changing a single word, Chen Qiang copied Xu Zhengyang’s report onto a Messaging Flying Sword and sent it back to the True Essence Sect.

As he spoke.

Chen Qiang patted Xu Zhengyang on the shoulder and said, “If you ask me, all reports should be written like this!

When I return, I’ll tell Senior Brother Sect Master to promote this style of writing.

Even if Senior Brother Sect Master doesn’t agree,

I’ll at least make the whole Mysterious Mechanism Peak follow this style for writing reports!”

Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang smiled slightly and said, “Uncle Chen flatters me.”

“Enough with the formalities.”

As Chen Qiang spoke.

He flipped his hand, took out a bottle of Tier 1 Supreme Blood Pills from his Storage Pouch, and handed it to Xu Zhengyang, saying, “Since you spent a bottle of Supreme Blood Pills to obtain this intelligence, how could the sect let you bear the cost yourself?

Take this, don’t let your cultivation fall behind!”

Xu Zhengyang had gone to the Celestial Treasure Pavilion and accomplished all the tasks.

Yang Hong had accompanied him as well, but returned reeking of perfume, leaving no doubt what he had been up to.

Chen Qiang glared at Yang Hong in disappointment before asking Xu Zhengyang, “Well then?

Do you plan to fight Yan Wuchen?”

Xu Zhengyang answered truthfully, “If I can defeat Yan Wuchen, the Celestial Treasure Pavilion is willing to offer a Spirit-Devouring Wild Flame as reward.

This disciple wants that different flame.”
