King of Creation

"Old Fourth, do you know, you almost made us on Heavenly Wing Island lose even our pants!"

Sea-Breaking Great Saint's voice was like thunder, nearly scaring Ye Zhen into jumping up.

Ye Zhen paused, looked at his skin, which had turned charred black, and recalled the scene when repairing the Purple Flame Golden Lamp.

Swoosh!

Cold sweat immediately started to stream down his forehead.

Ye Zhen finally understood why the Sea-Breaking Great Saint was so furious.

He had forced the spiritual fire below to congeal and compress using external objects and his own Divine Soul Power, and its power and radiation were completely outside of Ye Zhen's control.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have burned Ye Zhen's clothes, eyebrows, and hair to ashes, even charring the skin.

Let's not forget, Ye Zhen was already starting to cultivate the Innate Fire Spirit Battle Body's presence.

In most cases, even Dao Entrance Realm Martial Artists don't have the qualifications to cultivate the Innate Fire Spirit Battle Body, and Ye Zhen's physical resistance to Fire Spirit Power was exceptionally strong.

Yet this flame, purely congealed and compressed with massive amounts of pure Fire Spirit Power, could scorch Ye Zhen's skin black. If uncontrolled, the power it radiated would easily cover a ten-mile radius without issue.

Even if the power of this low-grade spiritual fire was weak, the foliage within ten miles was mere mortal matter, destined for ashes.

Sea-Breaking Great Saint had mentioned before, there was an Establishment Realm King who destroyed a mile's worth of vegetation with one palm, not only lost his entire estate but owed a debt worth tens of millions of mid-grade spirit crystals.

If Ye Zhen were to turn this ten-mile radius of land into scorched earth, the consequences would be dire.

Moreover, this ten-mile area had at least dozens of buildings.

No wonder Sea-Breaking Great Saint was so angry.

With a shift of thought, Ye Zhen immediately understood the cause and effect.

"Third Brother, I'm sorry, I never expected the power of the forcibly condensed low-grade spirit fire to be so terrifying..." Ye Zhen looked apologetic.

"Once something happens, the words 'sorry' have no effect!" Sea-Breaking Great Saint's expression turned stern, "Fourth Brother, you have to understand, since you've joined us, the Sky Wing Four Saints are as one. Your affairs are our affairs.

Your mistake is our mistake!

If anything catastrophic happens, we'd protect you without hesitation, but you still need to think things through beforehand!

For something as important as today, why didn't you call me to guard? Not to mention, destroying the foliage of Shuili Island, if you had any accident forcibly congealing the low-grade spirit fire, who would rescue you..."

As his temper flared, Sea-Breaking Great Saint suddenly paused, shook his finger at Ye Zhen, "Wait, say that again, how exactly did you produce the low-grade spirit fire?"

"Using the Spirit Power within the Ten-thousand-year Fire Jade, then forcibly condensing with Divine Soul Power to produce low-grade spirit fire," Ye Zhen said somewhat apologetically. Sea-Breaking Great Saint was right; he was careless with this matter.

"You can actually forcibly congeal and compress low-grade spirit fire using Divine Soul Power?"

Sea-Breaking Great Saint suddenly looked at Ye Zhen with a gaze like seeing a ghost, "After succeeding once, can this low-grade spirit fire be preserved, and how long does it take to congeal and compress this low-grade spirit fire afterward?"

Ye Zhen slowly shook his head, "It can't be preserved, congealing a wisp of low-grade spirit fire takes an hour or two at least!"

Disappointment flashed in Sea-Breaking Great Saint's eyes, "What a pity, if you could preserve this wisp of low-grade spirit fire, although not invincible, even Dao Entrance Realm powerhouses would fear you!"

"I can barely handle this wisp of low-grade spirit fire; if there were more, even your Third Brother couldn't control it."

"What a pity..."

Sea-Breaking Great Saint repeatedly expressed regret, while Ye Zhen was also helpless.

Actually, just now Ye Zhen thought of another possibility.

He had many treasures like the Ten-thousand-year Fire Jade, containing extremely pure Fire Spirit Power. If he could congeal and compress enough low-grade spirit fire, could he raise his Xuan Fire Spiritual Power a few levels, reaching the grade of low-grade spirit fire?

He even thought, if he could thus congeal a large amount of low-grade spirit fire, could he refine that Dragon Turtle Shell?

An idea good, but implementation is very difficult.

Firstly, to condense a seed of low-grade spirit fire in the Xuan Fire Spirit Vein requires plenty of low-grade spirit fire to condense, and most crucially, it requires a bit of the origin power of that low-grade spirit fire.

While Ye Zhen's forced condensation and compression of low-grade spirit fire using Divine Soul Power reached power comparable to low-grade spirit fire, there was no origin power, making it ineffective in enhancing the power of Xuan Fire Spiritual Power.

Using such low-grade spirit fire to refine the Dragon Turtle Shell is possible, but that would require an investment of thousands and thousands of pieces of Ten-thousand-year Fire Jade.

Moreover, even with thousands of Ten-thousand-year Fire Jade, Ye Zhen's Divine Soul Power might not be able to withstand it.

Anyway, just condensing this one piece of Low Grade Spirit Fire consumed over seventy percent of Ye Zhen's Four-colored Innate Soul Light, leaving his entire Soul Sea empty.

"By the way, Third Brother, didn't you go visiting friends? Why did you suddenly come back?" Ye Zhen suddenly asked, recalling the matter.

"It's all because of you!"

The Sea-Breaking Great Saint rolled his eyes dramatically. "I had just met my old friend, hadn't even exchanged a few words, when I sensed an extremely powerful aura sweeping past. I went out to see, and it turned out to be that old geezer, Leader of the Dragon Alliance, Jie Tianhe.

It gave me a fright, so I rushed back immediately!"

As he spoke, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint rolled his eyes again. "I didn't expect Jie Tianhe that old guy didn't do anything to you, but you almost ended up harming yourself!"

Ye Zhen looked embarrassed, for he had indeed made a careless mistake.

He could only bear it.

"However, Jie Tianhe's arrival was unexpected by us. According to what you said before, you should have sensed his arrival quite early, right? Why didn't you send me a Talisman Communication?" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint asked.

"Dead men rising up to the sky, since Jie Tianhe sensed my aura and chased here, yet couldn't pinpoint my location, what am I afraid of?

Anyway, this is Shuili Island, he can't take action openly? Even if he does, I'm not just going to sit around and wait to die!" Ye Zhen said.

The Sea-Breaking Great Saint gave Ye Zhen a peculiar look, "You're quite bold!"

"Don't worry, the danger on Shuili Island isn't great. I estimate that the most dangerous time will be when leaving the island. I've already sent a Talisman Communication to Big Brother and the others; they should be on their way to fetch us."

"By the way, on this trip to meet my old friend, I received two pieces of news concerning the Pill Appreciation Conference, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear?" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint suddenly said.

"Let's hear the bad news first," Ye Zhen thought for a moment and said.

"The bad news is, during the refining of the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill this time, Shuili Dan King encountered a slight mishap, leading to a twenty percent reduction in the output of pills.

By that time, the number of Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pills available for public auction might be significantly reduced!" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint said.

Ye Zhen's brows furrowed tightly as this was indeed bad news, "Third Brother, to what extent will it be reduced?"

"In previous years, the maximum number of Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pills up for auction was five, and the minimum was three. This time, due to the unexpected shortfall, it's estimated that it'll be no more than three pills up for auction, and at least one. I guess, at most, it will be two!

You'll need to be mentally prepared for the competition when the time comes!" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint said.

"And what's the good news?" Ye Zhen asked.

"The good news is, due to the reduced output of the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, Shuili Dan King, unwilling to disappoint the martial artists who have traveled a long distance and waited for ten years, will offer two additional rare Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pills to the martial artists present as compensation," the Sea-Breaking Great Saint said.

"Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill?"

Just hearing these five words made Ye Zhen's expression turn excited. "Third Brother, is it that invaluable pill that can allow Peak of Vein Forging Realm martial artists to directly break through into the Establishment Realm?"

"Exactly!"

Seeing Ye Zhen's expression, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint said, "It seems that my judgment was correct. Once you hear this news, Fourth Brother, you'll definitely compete for the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill.

But I must remind you, Fourth Brother, that on Shuili Island, the method of obtaining pills is not limited to auctions. Shuili Dan King has many tricks up his sleeve!

Moreover, the value of this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill is definitely more precious than you can imagine!"

"Although ordinary martial artists opening the Spirit Palace from the Dantian is not as dangerous as establishing a Soul Sea, only about twenty percent succeed among ten attempts!

The most important thing is, even if ordinary martial artists reach the Peak of Vein Forging Realm, without opportunity, it requires a massive amount of time to build a foundation and prepare to establish the mansion.

This time period ranges from as short as three to five years to as long as ten years, and success is not guaranteed, even for martial artists from noble family martial arts great forces.

So, the value of this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, which allows Peak of Vein Forging Realm martial artists to directly break through into the Establishment Realm, is self-evident, and the competition will be very fierce." the Sea-Breaking Great Saint said.

"Rest assured, Third Brother, when the time comes, I will do my best within my means!" Ye Zhen cupped his hands.

"That's for the best! Remember, don't hesitate to trouble me. If anything happens, send me a Talisman Communication immediately!" Before the voice had faded, the figure of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint disappeared again!

After pondering for a while, Ye Zhen glanced at the already repaired Purple Flame Golden Lamp, but he didn't rush to infuse pure Fire Spirit Power to replenish the origin power consumed by the Purple Flame Golden Lamp.

Instead, he directed his Divine Sense towards the Jade Talisman that Green Sun Palace Master Chuh Yang had given him along with the Purple Flame Golden Lamp during the time at Yixiao Building!

Back then, Chuh Yang transmitted to Ye Zhen that the Jade Talisman not only recorded the many wonderful uses of the Purple Flame Golden Lamp but also contained the secret concerning Ye Zhen's safety that he had previously promised...
