Chapter 895: Soul Nascent Soul

Due to the Virtual Current Thunder Energy being on the wanted list, he didn't dare to use it openly. Consequently, the highly effective Five-Magnet Divine Light was also restricted. This was because once the Five-Magnet Divine Light was activated, only the Virtual Current Five Energies could pass through it; moving within it necessarily required the use of Virtual Current Thunder Energy.

At present, if he could cultivate Virtual Current Fire Energy, the problem would resolve itself. He immediately sat cross-legged and carefully perused the "Azure-Blue True Fire Art."

The profound essence of this art was somewhat similar to the "Six Parts of Heavenly Thunder," requiring one to condense a 'fire elixir' within the body to accumulate all kinds of rare fires. As more rare fires were acquired, the power of the "Azure-Blue True Fire Art" would continuously increase. According to the scriptures, the Earth-tier high-grade level was merely the lower limit of this art, ensuring that a practitioner's strength would not be weak after cultivation. However, the upper limit was determined by the level of the absorbed flames. Theoretically, there was no upper limit!

An hour later, Jiang Fan comprehended the cultivation method and began to circulate his meridians, gradually absorbing the mass of Asura Karmic Fire. In less than half a day, he formed a hand seal with both palms, and a lotus flower slowly emerged in his palm. It was identical to the one Luo Yingxue had cast, the only difference being that his lotus was blood-red, and its temperature was even more intense.

"If Senior Aunt saw that I cultivated to minor accomplishment in just one day," he thought, "she wouldn't faint on the spot from anger, would she?" Jiang Fan smiled faintly. Immediately after, he clenched his palm, and a blood-red meridian beneath his arm flashed and disappeared. It was precisely the path of Virtual Current Fire Energy! Virtual Current Fire Energy, Great Accomplishment!

He checked the time; the underground world was still half a day away from opening. So he quickly took out two jade papers.

Xia Chaoge, who was behind him, looked surprised. "A Jade Paper Heavenly Book? And two pages? How can Uncle-Master even get his hands on something like this?" She showed a hint of a smile. "Uncle-Master wouldn't mind if I secretly took a look too, would he? Never mind. Anyway, he's Uncle-Master, and I'm a junior. Can a junior looking at a senior's belongings be called stealing?"

She quietly came up behind Jiang Fan, leaned her head over, and silently recited the text on them with Jiang Fan. It indeed possessed a very mysterious power. As Jiang Fan silently recited, his soul was actually nourished, becoming stronger bit by bit. The thin line separating him from a Nascent Soul realm soul was rapidly shortening. While silently reciting, his mind continuously sank, and he forgot his surroundings.

Until the bell summoning disciples from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets rang out. He suddenly awoke, startled, and exclaimed, "I lost myself for several hours?" Xia Chaoge, who was behind him, also suddenly woke up. Secretly surprised, she thought, "As expected of the Jade Paper Heavenly Book, it's so domineering. Our souls were both drawn into it. Wait, my soul has reached the complete stage of the ninth layer of Core Formation. I really benefited greatly from Uncle-Master this time. Hmph hmph." She was feeling smug.

Jiang Fan suddenly stood up, preparing to get dressed. Caught off guard, Jiang Fan's back bumped into her. The unusual sensation startled Jiang Fan. Someone was behind him? Without thinking, he backhanded with a palm containing Asura Karmic Fire, aiming behind him and directly hitting the opponent's chest. A solid impact sensation came through. He tried to grab them quickly, but he failed to catch them, only scratching them!

"Who?" Jiang Fan coldly demanded.

Xia Chaoge retreated repeatedly. She looked down. Not only was there a searing red palm print on her chest, causing a burning pain, but there were also five bloody scratches from fingers. Xia Chaoge's face flushed, her red lips tightly pressed; she stamped her foot in embarrassment and turned to run.

Jiang Fan couldn't see anyone, but his soul at this moment was unprecedentedly powerful. Without even using his Dual-Pupil Crystal, he could vaguely sense someone ahead. This made Jiang Fan's expression extremely solemn. How long had this person been here? When he took out the Mountain and River Cauldron and the Soul Jade Paper, did the other party see them? Thinking of this, he decisively made a move, "Don't go! God Lord of Vastness!"

The divine statue immediately appeared, blasting out six arms. The other party turned around. A massive black and white Tai Chi Thunder Diagram appeared. The six arms struck it, yet couldn't budge it in the slightest.

"Thunder Dao divine ability?" Jiang Fan murmured in surprise. Just as he was about to give chase, the other party activated another strange divine ability. They simultaneously transformed into three blurry figures, heading in different directions.

"Clones?" He quickly took out his Dual-Pupil Crystal, wanting to see clearly who this person was. But all three figures had already vanished.

Jiang Fan's expression darkened, "Is this Thunder Pool cursed or something? Every time I come, I get spied on! This time, important treasures were even seen! Don't let me find out who it was; otherwise, I definitely won't let them off!"

Listening to the increasingly urgent bell, he quickly got dressed and hurried back to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Almost all the disciples had already arrived. Jiang Fan's 'Team Zero' members were also present. Not only had Liu Qingxian emerged from seclusion, but the missing Xia Chaoge had also arrived.

"Chaoge, what's wrong with your complexion? Why are you so pale? Are you injured?" Jiang Fan noticed Xia Chaoge's abnormality at a glance.

Xia Chaoge lightly covered her burning, aching chest. Originally, only her chest felt uncomfortable, but hearing these words, her heart also felt distressed. Her red lips tightly pressed, she glared at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan looked bewildered, "What's wrong with me showing some concern? Do you have to look at me like that?"

Liu Qingxian, exasperated, put her arm around Xia Chaoge and chided, "Girls always have a few uncomfortable days a month. Why bother showing concern? You haven't been seen for a month, and when you do appear, you embarrass people in public."

"Alright." Jiang Fan looked awkward. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a small palm extended in front of him. It was Gu Xiner.

She said grumpily, "Hand it over!"

Jiang Fan was stunned, "Do I owe you something?"

Gu Xiner took out a densely packed list, filled with all the tasks she had completed for the team this month. "A total of thirty-two tasks, earning two hundred contribution points for the team. Setting a record in ten years as the best individual task performer. So, Sir Leader, have I contributed enough to the team?"

Jiang Fan rubbed his nose. This seemingly cute little girl was actually a task maniac. "Alright." Seeing her work so hard, he might as well temporarily acknowledge her as a team member. He immediately took out a Moon Realm Shard and put it into her palm.

Gu Xiner beamed with joy. "It really wasn't easy! This Moon Realm fragment is finally mine! Alright. Time to show my true colors! The cards are on the table, no more pretending. I am Gu Xiner, and now, I'm going to give you a good beating, you scoundrel!"

At this moment, Jiang Fan, however, took out a strange small bean and said, "To motivate you to explore the underground world, I have also prepared a personal reward. This is a delicacy for a Soul Transformation realm expert, and its value is extremely high. At that time, whoever helps me earn the most contribution points will be rewarded with this small bean." To get a hundred thousand contribution points was simply harder than ascending to heaven. He could only motivate his teammates to desperately help find various hidden spaces.

Gu Xiner, who was about to show her cards, suddenly froze. Her two eyes stared at the small bean as if she had seen a ghost. "Master, I must be mistaken, right?"
