Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed that the Tiandu Emperor’s attainments in the Divine Soul Path were simply beyond compare with him and the Fishpeople Tribe. With a sweep of his divine soul, he could even shake substantial objects. Although it was just a key, it was already an incredible thing for soul power.
With the key acquired, the Tiandu Emperor said slowly, “Alright, Yang Chen, now that I have the key, you have the opportunity to choose for the second time.”
Yang Chen wasted no time and looked around right away.
He had a certain target in mind during his last choice but had to give it up because of the Ancient Spirit Flower. Now that he had a second chance, he targeted a brush lying flat under the prohibition not far away.
The size of this brush was as big as his arm, with white and fluffy bristles, showing its exquisite craftsmanship.
Yang Chen curiously asked, “Tiandu Senior, what is the name of this brush?”
“This brush is called ‘Blazing Fire’ and is a very unique Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure,” the Tiandu Emperor explained calmly.
“Blazing Fire?” Yang Chen asked curiously, “Senior, this brush doesn’t seem to have anything to do with fire.”
“Hmph, kid, what do you know? In order for the Blazing Flame Brush to exert its power, it mostly depends on a divine object called Blazing Sky Sacred Fire,” the Tiandu Emperor laughed.
Yang Chen was stunned, “Blazing Sky Sacred Fire? What is that?”
He had heard of the Blazing Sky Sacred Fire before. It was a kind of fire that was quite fierce and domineering among the many Strange Fires. Unlike the gentle Starfire, the Blazing Sky Sacred Fire is an extremely domineering Yang Gang Fire, rumored to be the most intense heat in the world, with concentrations even higher than magma.
In his previous life, Yang Chen also thought about the Blazing Sky Sacred Fire, but unfortunately, the Strange Fire was elusive and not something that one could obtain just by wishing for it.
“The Blazing Sky Sacred Fire is the ink for the Blazing Sky Brush,” said the Tiandu Emperor with a sigh. “It is said that when the Blazing Sky Brush is combined with the Blazing Sky Sacred Fire, using the sacred fire as ink, it unleashes immense power that is far beyond the ordinary Mysterious Heavenly Spirit treasures, truly terrifying!”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but be amazed. Even the existence of the Tiandu Emperor marveled at the power of the Blazing Flame Brush combined with the Blazing Sky Sacred Fire, showing just how powerful the Blazing Flame Brush could be when pushed to its limits.
But obviously, the Tiandu Emperor didn’t have the Blazing Sky Sacred Fire.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, if there is no Blazing Sky Sacred Fire, how can this Blazing Sky Brush be used?”
“How can it be used, it’s useless,” the Tiandu Emperor shrugged. “This is the main issue with this Xuan Tian treasure. However, to say that it has absolutely no use is a bit excessive. The Blazing Fire Brush has a wide range of uses, particularly in drawing prohibition formations and talisman scrolls, which can greatly increase their effectiveness and success rate.”
Having said that, the Tiandu Emperor added, “Apart from this, the only unique effect of the Blazing Fire Brush lies in its spatial functionality. When your martial arts cultivation has reached a high level, using this Blazing Fire Brush, you can tear through space itself. However, for you now, it is still too far away. So to put it simply, this Blazing Fire Brush is a treasure, but it’s somewhat useless for you.”
Yang Chen could not deny the Tiandu Emperor’s words, but the essence lay in the ability to draw prohibition formations and talisman scrolls.
What was the reason for him to notice the Blazing Fire Brush from the beginning?
It was because of the need for some very special tools to draw talisman scrolls and prohibition formations.
Such treasures are usually hard to come by, let alone the Blazing Fire Brush, which is a Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure.
The Tiandu Emperor probably thought it was nearly impossible to find the Blazing Sky Sacred Fire, which would make the Blazing Fire Brush quite useless, so he placed it together with these other treasures.
Yang Chen pondered secretly.
He soon had an idea, “Senior, I choose this Blazing Fire Brush.”
This choice made the Tiandu Emperor a bit puzzled about what was going on in Yang Chen’s mind. He snorted, “Kid, I wonder what you’re thinking. Why do you always choose useless things?”
What the Tiandu Emperor didn’t understand was that Yang Chen’s choice of the Blazing Fire Spirit Brush was not useless. The drawing of talisman scrolls was very demanding in terms of skillfulness, and given Yang Chen’s limited time, he was not likely to waste too much time learning to draw talisman scrolls. That’s when the effect of the Blazing Fire Spirit Brush would come into play.
It can greatly increase the success rate of drawing talisman scrolls, which is simply a dream treasure for him, and something that’s hard to find.
Moreover, he still had the second key, which could offer him a chance for a third treasure selection. Since it’s a rare opportunity, he was eager to pick this kind of treasure that could be missing tomorrow.
Though the Tiandu Emperor was displeased, he could not decide Yang Chen’s choice. He only asked, “Kid, are you sure?”
“Senior, my mind is made up,” Yang Chen answered resolutely.
With a dispirited tone, the Tiandu Emperor helped Yang Chen remove the prohibition.
Yang Chen took the Blazing Fire Spirit Brush, his face filled with joy.
At the same time, Jiang Caiying’s choice also came to an end, as she said, “Senior, I choose this treasure.”
“Oh? A Sea-breaking Sword?” The Tiandu Emperor was delighted, “Little girl, it is true that your natural talent is no match for this kid, but your discerning eye is quite keen. This Sea-breaking Sword is indeed a proper treasure, much stronger than what that kid chose.”
Jiang Caiying rolled her eyes, feeling indignant at the Tiandu Emperor’s words that her talent was inferior to Yang Chen. However, recalling Yang Chen’s demon-like record, she couldn’t help but feel helpless as the Tiandu Emperor’s words were undeniable and irrefutable.
So, after Jiang Caiying chose the Sea-breaking Sword, Yang Chen also put the Blazing Fire Spirit Brush into his pocket.
Soon after, he made some preparations and straightforwardly said, “Senior, I have recovered and am ready. Please send me to the Eighth Challenge.”
“Are you prepared?” asked the Tiandu Emperor.
Yang Chen nodded, “Yes, Senior, I am already prepared.”
Now that he had fully recovered, his true qi restored, and his Golden Claw injuries were almost healed, there was no reason not to take on the eighth challenge.
At that moment, when he regained consciousness, the surroundings had changed.
Yang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and found himself in a beautiful paradise with flowers, grass, and waterfalls.
However, the occupants of this paradise were rather ordinary.
Yang Chen looked carefully and saw three lion-faced, human-bodied demonic beasts.
These three lion-faced, human-bodied demonic beasts were holding large knives in their hands, emitting a fierce aura and blood-red eyes. Yang Chen couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Mad Lion Demon Beasts?”
