Senior Sister Su's shock
Yun Xi floated out of Gu Xuan's body and said indifferently, "I woke up when you started to concoct pills. Tell me, what secrets are you hiding from me? I don't believe that an ordinary young man can make a fourth rank alchemist willingly accept you as his master."
Yun Xi was originally very curious about Gu Xuan. Being able to concoct pills meant that his soul strength was far beyond ordinary people. Now, Gu Xuan's performance made her even more certain of this fact.
"I obtained the memory of an ancient almighty." Gu Xuan pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"An ancient almighty?" Yun Xi's voice was a little doubtful.
"It's the memory of an ancient almighty of the Emperor Realm. And with this memory, you inexplicably appeared in my body and became my flame origin." Gu Xuan said slowly.
"Is that so …" Yun Xi muttered to herself. She was obviously skeptical of Gu Xuan's words. After all, obtaining the memories of an ancient almighty was a bit too unbelievable. However, this explanation also explained why Gu Xuan was able to accept a fourth-grade alchemist as his follower.
The memory of a Great Emperor was an endless treasure trove for a warrior. Even if an ordinary person obtained the cultivation method of a Great Emperor, they would still be able to soar to the sky. If Gu Xuan had obtained the complete inheritance of a Great Emperor, then it was reasonable for him to be able to do such amazing things.
Seeing that Yun Xi seemed to believe him, Gu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although the things he made up were still ridiculous, it was just as amazing as his own rebirth. Since he could be reborn, then it was not a big deal to say that he obtained the great emperor's memory.
"It seems that I have to hide as much as possible in the future." Gu Xuan said secretly in his heart.
The ability of Great Emperors to sense karma was truly terrifying. Sometimes, it only took two people who were related to each other and a sentence was enough for the Great Emperors to know. If they received help, they would naturally be incomparably happy. If they received vengeance, they would die without a burial place.
In fact, this was also a feasible way for Gu Xuan to continue to improve. He wanted to let people who were familiar with him to sense karma and then come to find him.
But this method was too risky. He could only gamble. If he won, then everything would be fine. If he lost, then he would turn into ashes.
A hundred years was too long. Anything could happen. Therefore, Gu Xuan was not willing to take this risk.
"Right." Gu Xuan suddenly thought of something. He looked at Yun Xi and asked in a serious voice, "Have you heard of the Supreme Flame?"
"Supreme Flame?" Yun Xi said thoughtfully, "I seem to have heard of it before … but also, where did you hear about this kind of thing?"
"From the mouth of the second ranked Heavenly Flame, the Evil Spirit True Flame." Gu Xuan exhaled and said, "It said that only the fusion of Heavenly Fire and Earthly Fire could produce the supreme flame. Moreover, it had to be sacrificed."
"True Evil Spirit Fire … I seem to have heard of the existence of this flame." Yun Xi fell into deep thought. "Heavenly Fire and Earthly Fire are all born in different places, and most of them have never met before. But because they are innately created, they can vaguely sense some things. However, some flames have more, while others have less."
"Then it seems that the Evil Spirit True Fire has sensed a lot." Gu Xuan nodded. "The Evil Spirit True Fire told me that it wants to be devoured by you. It wants you to evolve into the supreme flame through sacrifice. But I don't know whether it is telling the truth or not. In terms of strength, you should be a little weaker than it. But you are a Heavenly Fire, and it is just an Earthly Fire. You should be able to suppress it."
"It is right. It is not deceiving you."
While Gu Xuan was puzzled, Yun Xi suddenly said faintly.
"Oh? You also know about this? "Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows. He was obviously surprised.
"No," Yun Xi denied. "I have been in the Source of Ice and Snow since the beginning. I only know that I am a top-grade Heavenly Fire, ranked 27th, and has the ability to purify. But I have never known anything else. But I don't know why, but I believe what you said without a doubt."
"Is that so …"
Gu Xuan touched his chin. Since Yun Xi could be sure, it meant that the Evil Spirit True Fire was not lying. It really wanted to sacrifice to obtain the chance to become the supreme flame.
Since that was the case, he had to fight for it.
The first thing to do now was to reach the Revered Level. If he did not reach the Revered Level, he might not be able to bear such a terrifying supreme flame. The Evil Spirit True Fire also required him to reach the Revered Level.
Moreover, the cultivation of Xuan Level warriors in the Yingtian Academy was only in the form of students. It could only be considered a selection, and the cultivation was very limited. Gu Xuan did not think that anyone in the Xuan Level could obtain a million treasure points.
This opportunity to subdue the Evil Spirit True Fire must be given to a Revered Level student. This kind of existence was worth nurturing.
Moreover, when Gu Xuan stepped into the Revered Level, the laws of heaven and earth would descend to help him improve the origin of his flame. Although it could not be promoted to the Earth Level, Yun Xi's strength would soar because of this. Even if the Evil Spirit True Fire really wanted to do something, she could suppress it directly.
"Now, let's cultivate to the Revered Level." Gu Xuan sighed in his heart. He took out the remaining Supernatural Pills and said, "Yun Xi, your origin is much stronger than before. It should not be a problem to purify fourth-grade pills, right?"
"No problem." Yun Xi casually agreed.
…
Halfway up Yingtian Peak, Senior Sister Su was sitting in her room, waiting quietly.
She had arranged for the fifth ranked student of Mountain River List to scout for news about Gu Xuan, and it should be time for him to reply.
Although Gu Xuan's cultivation was low, causing Senior Sister Su to disdain him, but Yue 'er seemed to have a close relationship with Gu Xuan, and that was worth her investigating. But Gu Xuan's existence was truly weak, and thus she did not think about it until today.
"This Gu Xuan actually wants to challenge the top 30 martial artists of Mountain River List, is he overestimating himself?" Senior Sister Su sneered and shook her head, "The top 30 martial artists of Mountain River List, which one of them is not an expert? The weakest of them is a Xuan Level 9 star expert, and the majority of them are at the peak of the Xuan Level. A Xuan Level 5 star actually dares to challenge them."
"I never thought that Yue 'er would be so easily deceived, and actually defended Gu Xuan. When the results are out, I think Yue' er will give up."
"Senior Sister!"
Not long after, a thin figure like a bamboo pole appeared in the room and bowed respectfully to Senior Sister Su.
"How is it?" Senior Sister Su glanced at him, he was also an elite student of Heaven Court, called Lin He, ranked fifth, and had always relied on her, thus the matter was handed over to him to handle.
"The results are out, Gu Xuan just finished his challenge today." Lin He said respectfully, his voice emotionless: "20 days ago, Gu Xuan defeated five of the top 30 martial artists of Mountain River List with his Xuan Level 5 star cultivation, and was ranked 26."
"What!"
Senior Sister Su was taken aback and quickly stood up from her seat.
Defeated five martial artists of Mountain River List, and was ranked 26? How could a Xuan Level 5 star martial artist do that?
"Surpassing four stars to challenge, most of the stronger martial artists are also able to do that. The gap between a Xuan Level 9 star and the peak of the Xuan Level is not small." Senior Sister Su immediately calmed down. Although it was rare for a Xuan Level 5 star to challenge a Xuan Level 9 star, there was still a portion of people who could do it.
"After that, Gu Xuan broke through to the Xuan Level 6 star, and defeated a peak of the Xuan Level martial artist." Lin He saw that Senior Sister Su had calmed down, and said slowly.
"He broke through?" Senior Sister Su frowned, and then sneered: "Seems like this Gu Xuan is also a person with heaven defying fighting strength, for a Xuan Level 6 star to defeat a peak of the Xuan Level, that's not bad."
"Senior Sister, when Gu Xuan defeated the peak of the Xuan Level, he only used his Xuan Level 5 star power, and only used his Xuan Level 6 star power after that, and this one star realm, Gu Xuan used a month's time to break through." Lin He explained slowly.
"What did you say?"
Senior Sister Su could not believe her ears, if it was a Xuan Level 6 star defeating a peak of the Xuan Level, she could barely accept it, but even so, as long as Gu Xuan's cultivation stagnated, she would not care.
But according to what Lin He said, Gu Xuan actually defeated a peak of the Xuan Level 5 star martial artist? And he broke through in a month's time!
That was simply inconceivable.
"Lin He, wait till he is done fighting with everyone else, then bring him to see me, I want to personally test him." Senior Sister Su thought for a while, and said slowly.
"Yes!" Lin He replied, and slowly retreated.
…
The purified Level 4 ancient elixir was upgraded from Medium Grade to High Grade, and the medicinal effect was more ferocious than before. Gu Xuan had also broken through to Xuan Level 6 star realm, and it was just right.
Gu Xuan realized that his cultivation was indeed a bottomless pit, as if it could never be filled up. Previously, he estimated that one Level 4 ancient elixir would be enough for him to break through, but in reality, he used a total of six!
This frightening gap made Gu Xuan feel very helpless. After every breakthrough, the amount of resources required would be several times or even ten times more than before.
It was hard to imagine how much resources Gu Xuan needed to step into the King Level, or even the Zong Level. Even if he recovered his ability to refine Level 7 elixirs, he might not be able to cope.
"Forget it, I'll first cultivate to the Zun Level, and then talk about it. If I can obtain the Supreme Flame, my cultivation in the future will definitely be much easier." Gu Xuan thought to himself.
In two days, with Yun Xi's help, Gu Xuan refined a Divine Ghost Pill and stabilized his Xuan Level 6 star realm. Although it was not completely stabilized, it was not far from it.
The medicinal effect of the ancient elixir was still considerable, it seemed like he had to exchange for some more spirit herbs and let Zong Qi refine them first. Although it would not affect his refining in the future, there might be changes if he delayed, especially in a situation where his identity could be exposed, so Gu Xuan had to be extremely careful.
Gu Xuan stood up, stretched his joints, and walked out of the room, directly arriving at Ye Cang's 17th pavilion.
