I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives

Deep within the Pill Furnace Peak.

Within a Molten Rock Cave Mansion, the magma surged endlessly, red fire patterns flowed like living serpents along the rock walls.

At the center of the cave mansion, Chen Sheng sat cross-legged, surrounded by dozens of condensed Fire Evil Crystals, each emitting a golden-red sheen.

His bare upper body was covered with dense red scales, with edges inlaid with faint golden patterns, gently rising and falling with his breath, greedily devouring the surrounding Fire Evil.

For seven days, the concentration of Fire Evil in the cave had dropped by nearly thirty percent, while the scales on Chen Sheng's body continued to fade.

Initially, the scales were as thick and heavy as red copper, gradually turning transparent, eventually transforming into a faint red halo, merging beneath the skin.

Yet his aura became increasingly majestic, like a dormant volcano about to erupt, causing the magma within the cave mansion to tremble, rippling finely.

As the whole process advanced, the Flood Dragon phenomenon around him thoroughly merged into his body!

"Buzz——"

Chen Sheng slowly opened his vertical pupils, from which two beams of red-gold divine light shot out, scorching shallow marks on the fire patterns on the cave walls.

He raised his hand to grasp a Fire Evil Crystal floating in front of him, which instantly turned into dust, the Fire Evil Power completely absorbed into his body.

"Thirty years, achieving perfection in Body Refining Fifth Layer, today is the day of breakthrough!"

His voice carried the tremor of mana, causing small stones to fall from the stalactites on the cave ceiling.

After becoming a Tier Three Alchemy Grandmaster, he could easily obtain high-tier resources like White Tiger Demon King marrow, Ten Thousand Years Fire Jade, greatly accelerating his cultivation speed more than before.

Currently, the spiritual power within his body was like thunder, long having touched the bottleneck of Body Refining Fifth Layer Perfection, waiting only for the final strike.

Chen Sheng reached into his bosom, taking out two dragon-eye sized pills.

These were Quasi-Tier Three Blood Evil Pills, primarily using White Tiger Demon King marrow, mixed with Blood Spirit Flower, Heaven-Burning Grass, and other Spiritual Medicines.

The pills were entirely dark red, their surfaces entwined with blood-like spiritual power, and as soon as they were near, a hot breath rushed toward him.

"Begin!"

He tilted his head back, swallowing both Blood Evil Pills simultaneously, and the moment the elixirs entered his abdomen, it felt as though two masses of magma exploded in his dantian, the scorching sensation spreading along his meridians.

Within a breath, faint red mist seeped from his pores, his skin turning crimson, even his hair stood up, emitting a faint red glow.

""Sea Overturning Flood Dragon Technique", activate!"

Chen Sheng's hands formed seals, the Blood Gang within him instantly erupted, surging through his meridians like a crimson torrent, driving the cultivation technique to circulate throughout his body.

During the first circulation, the Blood Gang was like a stream.

During the second circulation, the Blood Gang transformed into a river.

During the third circulation, the Blood Gang condensed into the shape of a Flood Dragon, hovering around him, issuing a deep dragon's chant.

"Boom!"

When the Blood Gang completed its third circulation, Chen Sheng's body suddenly expanded by half a zhang, the Blood Gang completely condensed into a more than a zhang long red Flood Dragon shadow.

At the same time, the invisible bottleneck within him, the barrier as thin as paper, cracked open, and a more majestic power surged from the fissure, instantly sweeping through his entire body.

"Aung——!"

Chen Sheng involuntarily opened his mouth, letting out a deafening dragon roar.

This sound was not human but a true Flood Dragon's roar, causing the magma within the cave mansion to boil instantly, the fire patterns on the stone walls dissipated without a trace.

His body started undergoing earth-shattering transformations.

His head transformed into a dragon's head, growing majestic dragon horns, entwined with pale cyan runes.

His limbs under his belly transformed into four claws, their tips glinting coldly, his spine extended into a dragon tail, covered with dense scales, a gentle flick swept the stone table beside into dust.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Sheng had transformed into a seven-zhang long red Flood Dragon!

The dragon's head was high and proud, its eyes like red-gold lanterns, dragon whiskers waving, stirring up hot air currents.

The dragon's body was covered with red scales, the edges glinting with gold, flickering with a metallic sheen under the cave's firelight, and when the dragon tail swung, it stirred up gusts of wind, splashing the magma.

The next moment, accompanied by a dragon's chant, the Flood Dragon soared skyward, breaking through the dome of the Hidden Dragon Cave, straight into the Cloud Sea.

The cloud layer was evaporated into large expanses of white mist by the scorching dragon body, allowing it to roam freely in the Cloud Sea, its dragon claws breaking through the clouds, its mouth absorbing the heaven and earth spiritual qi.

Like a whale swallowing the sea, the spiritual qi turned into visible torrents, all absorbed into its abdomen.

"Exhilarating!"

The Flood Dragon let out a low roar, feeling the strength of its body.

The dragon claws could tear mountains, the dragon tail could stir rivers, even its breath carried the scorching heat to burn mountains and boil seas.

Simultaneously, at the most crucial reverse scale point, a layer of red Profound Armor slowly adhered, protecting the core.

This reverse scale was the hardest location, as well as the most vulnerable spot, once damaged, the Flood Dragon's strength would greatly diminish!

At this moment, the Profound Armor was transparent like glazed, its surface carved with complex runes, emitting a faint glow covering the entire dragon's body, making the aura of awe-inspiring vigor grow more intense!

Precisely the Lifebound Magical Treasure "Sea Overturning Profound Armor" that Chen Sheng had people refine, as recorded in his cultivation technique.

Chen Sheng's consciousness pondered within the dragon's body:

"But currently, the Profound Armor is not yet perfected, offense and defense are passable, but it lacks true divine might."

"If only I could condense a Dragon Bead, using it as the core of the Profound Armor, it could transform infinitely, truly possessing the power to overturn seas."

Just then, a Red Cloud came from the east, as fast as a meteor, instantly stopping before the Flood Dragon.

The Red Cloud dispersed, revealing a heroic man with a flame pattern on his brow, it was Chen Yuquan.

He looked at the red Flood Dragon in the Cloud Sea, his eyes filled with joy, cupping his hands he said:

"Congratulations to Father for breaking through to Body Refining Sixth Layer, achieving the Flood Dragon's body!"

The red Flood Dragon circled around, its brilliance gradually withdrawn, transforming back into human form.

Chen Sheng donned a cyan Daoist robe, his countenance still gentle, yet exuding a touch of dragon might.

He looked at Chen Yuquan and nodded with satisfaction.

Now, Chen Yuquan is a Tier Two Middle Grade Refiner, employed at the Demon Slaying Hall in Fenghua Immortal City.

His Cultivation is close to the Peak of Foundation Establishment Early-stage.

Because he practices a Top Level Cultivation Technique, both the depth and purity of his Mana are not weaker than most Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

His Body Refining has also smoothly reached the Body Refining Fourth Layer Realm; Dual Cultivation of Body and Spirit!

At the same time, with his exceptional talent in Fire Techniques, he has consecutively mastered several profound Daoist Skills — "Red Cloud Escape," "Fire God Aspect," "Fire God Eye," and "Demon-Burning Fire."

He also has the Eight Li Fire Pillars, his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact.

With multiple enhancements, his Divine Power Combat is unparalleled among those of the same stage.

Particularly skilled in Li Fire Escape Technique, he can escape a hundred miles in a flash, using Fenghua Immortal City as the core, traversing a thousand miles around and sweeping through nearby Demon Cultivators.

He even, due to his cultivation technique's restraint, with the power of the Li Fire Pillar, has once defeated a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Blood Demon, earning great fame and being called the "Fire Divine Monarch"!

Over the years, Chen Sheng has been steadily cultivating within the Sect's Grand Array, and so have his descendants with Earth Grade Spiritual Roots.

Only Chen Yuquan dares to slay demons outside, full of courage!

Chen Sheng also successively bestowed protective Tier Three Talismans and Talisman Treasures upon him, instructing him not to venture more than three thousand miles from Fenghua Immortal City to avoid being plotted against.

If he ever encounters an unbeatable day, he should escape quickly to Fenghua Immortal City.

...

The father and son flew back side by side to Hidden Dragon Cave.

Chen Sheng sat on a prayer mat, prepared two cups of Spirit Tea by using Mana to heat the spring water, and slowly spoke:

"You've been outside slaying demons for many years, and now that Demon Cultivators are rampant everywhere, what do you think about this?"

Chen Yuquan took the tea cup, pondered for a moment, and said:

"In my opinion, these Demon Cultivators are by no means disorganized rabble."

"Their actions are orderly, and they always seem to obtain High Tier resources; there's probably a real top figure supporting them behind the scenes; otherwise, they wouldn't be so rampant."

"You're right."

Chen Sheng's expression turned serious:

"A few days ago, when your third martial uncle was guarding West River, he chased a group of Demon Cultivators but encountered a Golden Core Realm Demon Cultivator."

"If he had not decisively escaped to West River Immortal City and used the City Defense Array for protection, he might have already perished."

Chen Yuquan raised his head abruptly, eyes full of shock:

"Golden Core!"

There are only two openly acknowledged Golden Core Cultivators in the Three Sects of Chu Country, each being the Sect Leader of the Qinghua Sect and the Li Xiao Sect.

After the old Sect Leader of the Yue Ling Sect passed away, no new Golden Core Cultivators have risen.

The emergence of a Golden Core Demon Cultivator is enough to overturn the entire Cultivation Realm of Chu Country!

Chen Sheng sighed:

"The aura of that Golden Core Demon Cultivator is completely different from the Sect Leaders of both sects; obviously, he is not a native Cultivator."

"Also, earlier messages came from the Qinghua Sect and the Li Xiao Sect, indicating that the tracks of a few Fake Pill Demon Cultivators have been found."

"In past years, the Three Sects even suspected each other, thinking these Demon Cultivators were pawns used by a certain party to disrupt the situation; now it seems we were all wrong."

He paused, then continued:

"The top-level meeting of our Sect's analysis indicates that this group of Demon Cultivators is most likely roving from other Cultivation Realms."

"At first, they were cautious and only dared to cause small disturbances but now have become increasingly reckless, even daring to attack the Immortal City head-on, evidently with no scruples—it seems a storm is brewing."

Chen Yuquan's face also turned heavy.

The Three Sects almost monopolize the Core Formation Resources in the Chu Country.

He originally thought the Demon Cultivators were backed by someone who barely became a Fake Pill cultivator and was dissatisfied with the Chu Country's Three Sects, hence stirring trouble everywhere!

But after hearing his father's analysis, he realized the seriousness of the issue.

It even involves Golden Core Demon Cultivators from other realms!

Why have Demon Cultivators from other Cultivation Realms come here, and what is their purpose?

Invade! Overturn!

Once thought through, a chill runs down the spine!

If these Demon Cultivators indeed come to invade, the entire Cultivation Realm of Chu Country would fall into chaos.

Chen Sheng lightly sighed:

"What a turbulent time!"

Chen Yuquan nodded lightly upon hearing these words.

He naturally understood the undertone of his father speaking to him about this today, and he quickly declared:

"From today onwards, I will temporarily cease going out to slay demons and will retreat for cultivation within the Sect, avoiding the storm!"

Chen Sheng laughed heartily, with satisfaction in his eyes:

"Being able to bend and stretch, truly a man of character!"

"In the current uncertain situation, retreating for Cultivation to improve strength is the most prudent choice; when the situation clears in the future, it won't be too late to go out again and slay demons."

Chen Yuquan rose and respectfully said:

"Understood, Father!"

"From today onwards, I will retreat within the Sect, aim for Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and simultaneously enhance the power of my Daoist Techniques. When I am strong enough in the future, I will eliminate these Demon Cultivators completely!"
