“Such a pity…”
After a while, Su Qin closed his eyes and when he had opened them again, everything had returned to normal.
Su Qin had just received some memory fragments from the Three-legged Golden Crow. Well, it was just an image, not really the Divine Bird itself.
“I’m still a bit short from reaching Small Accomplishment……” Su Qin muttered to himself.
In the past six months, Su Qin had devoured all of the Fire Element pills and treasures he had stockpiled. Yet, he was still some distance away from Small Accomplishment.
“Do I have to wait a few more years and obtain enough Fire Element resources for a breakthrough?” Su Qin slightly frowned.
Currently, as the wave of vitality continued to recover, coupled with the continuous stream of Major Sect Peak Legends arriving on this continent from overseas, Su Qin’s sense of urgency rose.
Su Qin was not afraid of the Myriad Sword Sect, since their foundation was not that deep. But the other Major Sects, especially those from the last prosperous era, were not something Su Qin could overlook.
Who knows how many cards they had up their sleeves.
While Su Qin was in deep thought.
[Weng~]!!!
The vitality suddenly surged, as if some kind of sublimation had occurred. It soon reached a certain critical point, and began to rise rapidly.
Fire Element suddenly began to converge and fall several hundred li outside Chang’an City. It then condensed into a mountain range of burning flames.
All of the Martial Artists above the Upper Realm were puzzled. They all looked up and moved towards the Mountain of Flames.
Martial Artists at the Upper Realm had already been subjected to the World’s Essence Qi, so they could faintly feel the World’s Essence Qi that existed between the Heavens and Earth.
Naturally, the huge amount of fire element attracted the attention of countless Martial Artists.
“That is?”
In the Imperial Palace, Fei Yu was full of amazement, and had an awed expression on his face.
The Old Taoist, Yan Hai, Ruan Qing and the others were the same. They were in Chang’an City, so they felt the mountain of flames the most.
“This is a Fire Element Source, a Fire Element Source had just condensed!” Fei Yu trembled, as he said in shock.
An Element Source, such as this Fire Element Source, generally took thousands of years to form before it took shape. Yet, one was forming right in front of them at a speed visible to naked eye!?
“This is an opportunity, a real great opportunity that only appears on the battlefield…”
Fei Yu was full of enthusiasm.
An Element Source was extremely rare. Even in the heyday of the wave of vitality, there were not many that would appear. Any mature Element Source could help a Peak Legend easily integrate their Primordial Spirit into the ocean of vitality!
How incredible was this?
One must know that the higher one goes in Cultivation, the lower the effects and help brought by external forces. Basically, the Element Source that could increase the possibility of one stepping into the Earth Immortal Realm was simply a priceless treasure.
“Wait, this isn’t good…”
“This would spell trouble.”
However, Fei Yu’s excitement was soon doused.
Over the years, experts from the Major Sects had entered the Tang Empire.
Emperor Li Sheng was also concerned about this, but as long as these experts did not disturb the Tang Empire, then he would not bother them.
On one hand, he was worried about the dissatisfaction of the Major Sects.
On the other hand, if the Tang Empire wanted to close the gap between them and the Major Sects, he had to get in touch with them.
With Su Qin’s presence, these experts would behave appropriately upon entering the Tang Empire. Even the disciples of the Dark Source Sect, who had always liked to kill, did not dare to run amok for fear of offending Su Qin.
However, Fei Yu was clear that the premise of the experts not attacking the Tang Empire was based on the fact that there was nothing there that attracted them.
But now, the Fire Element Source, that had just formed, would definitely be enough to agitate the greed in their hearts.
Moreso, since the Fire Element Source was only a few hundred kilometers away from Chang’an City, the aftermath of the fighting between these experts would very likely spread to Chang’an City.
As for Su Qin’s deterrence…
Since this was a Fire Element Source they’re talking about, how could they just give it up because of Su Qin?
Just as Fei Yu’s expression became gloomy, a faint voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
“Did a Fire Element Source really just form?”
Su Qin had silently appeared next to him, and was looking at the mountain of flames.
“My Lord.” Fei Yu immediately bowed to Su Qin.
“Get up.” Su Qin simply waved his hand.
Today, he had just finished Cultivating the [Burning Sun Divine Art] and found that he was still short of being able to reach Small Accomplishment. He thought that he had to wait for a few more years to stockpile more Fire Element treasures.
But now, he doesn’t need to do that. The appearance of the Fire Element Source made Su Qin overjoyed!
The Fire Element Source was born from the Heavens and Earth. This was basically the best fuel for Cultivating the [Burning Sun Divine Art]!
His [Burning Sun Divine Art] would certainly advance by leaps and bounds. Even if it doesn’t propel him to Great Accomplishment, reaching Small Accomplishment would be no problem.
By then, Su Qin could finally fully integrate into the ocean of vitality with his Primordial Spirit and step into the Earth Immortal Realm!
“Come with me.”
Su Qin looked at Fei Yu.
After all, Fei Yu was a Peak Legend and his strength was not weak.
As Su Qin devours the Fire Element Source, in case something happens, Fei Yu would be there.
“Yes.” Fei Yu replied respectfully.
- ווו
At the same time before the mountain of flames.
As soon as the World’s Essence Qi rose, a group of powerhouses had already arrived.
These powerhouses were from the Major Sects. They were nearby when the World’s Essence Qi was sublimated, hence they immediately arrived.
“Here, this is the legendary Fire Element Source?” A tall man with a faint thunder flashing in his eyes, looked at the mountain of flames in front of him.
He was an Elder of the Thunder God Sect and a 5th Heavenly Layer Legend. Naturally, he knew what an Element Source really meant.
“Yes.”
“It is the same as that recorded in my Sect.”
“According to the legend, when the wave of vitality recovers, there will be an unprecedented amount of great opportunities appearing in the battlefield. Now, it seems that the legends are true…”
Another man with a cold face, sighed with emotion.
As Legends, they were supposed to be the ambassadors of the Heavens and Earth, but at this moment, in front of this mountain of flames, they felt insignificant like dust.
The cold man knew in his heart that this was entirely because the Fire Element Source was born from the Heavens and Earth themselves. In front of the actual vitality, even an Earth Immortal would feel insignificant, even more so them?
“Hmph~, it is indeed a Fire Element Source, but don’t forget that this place is the Tang Empire. Do you think you can compete against the Legend here for the Fire Element Source?”
At this time, a woman coldly said with a smile. She was the farthest from the Fire Element Source.
As soon as she said this, everyone’s faces suddenly changed.
Half a year had already passed, so Su Qin’s destruction of the Myriad Sword Sect had long been heard by them. How could they not know Su Qin’s means?
“Indeed.”
“If the Tang Empire’s Legend takes action, it would be really difficult for me to resist.”
Speaking to this point, the cold man’s tone suddenly changed: “But the Tang Empire’s Legend may be powerful, but I am not afraid of waiting for the back up from my Sect.”
“As early as now, I have sent a letter to Sect, and an Ancestor is coming.”
The cold man said, while greedily looking at the mountain of flames.
Although it was impossible for him to enjoy the Fire Element Source, the credit for discovering it was enough to improve his position in the Sect. He could even be promoted to be an instructor.
Although many Major Sect instructors needed to deal with trivial matters, they would receive the most Cultivation Resources allocation. This was the perk of being one.
“Yes.”
“What about the Tang Empire’s Legend having a Primordial Spirit? So what if he destroyed the Myriad Sword Sect? What could he do when facing a Major Sect with REAL and deep heritage by himself?”
The Thunder God Sect Elder said.
His words immediately resonated with the others.
No matter how strong Su Qin was, was he stronger than an Earth Immortal?
Even Earth Immortals couldn’t do much to a Major Sect, let alone Su Qin?
The reason why many Major Sects did not make a move before was completely because there were not enough benefits, coupled with mutual fear, as well as checks and balances to maintain the current situation.
It was only because of the above that they sat back and watched the Tang Empire occupy the most important territory of the battlefield.
But now, the emergence of the Fire Element Source gave the Major Sects an ample reason to come forward.
Furthermore, with the Fire Element Source on the line, many Major Sects would completely abandon their previous differences and join forces to deal with Su Qin.
After all, in the eyes of the Major Sects, no matter who the Fire Element Source would belong to, it could only be selected from among them. As for Su Qin, an outsider, how could they let him encroach on such a treasure?
“If the Tang Empire’s Legend dared to appear, our Ancestor will surely make him go back!”
The Thunder God Sect Elder looked proud. He knew that, half a year ago, Ancestor Lei Xing had already come to the battlefield.
A thousand years ago, Ancestor Lei Xing had formed his Primordial Spirit. Compared to the Sword Ancestor, Ancestor Lei Xing had his body and could exert all of his battle strength.
With Ancestor Lei Xing on their side, why would he need to fear Su Qin?
However, while everyone was discussing the Fire Element Source.
[Weng~]!!!
A terrifying and imposing aura suddenly shrouded them.
Everyone felt as though they were struck by lightning, kneeling on the ground.
“Who is it!?”
The Thunder God Sect Elder lifted his head with some difficulty and looked into the distance.
At the end of his line of sight, a slender figure was walking towards them. The figure was like a monarch walking amidst his subjects.
