Within the quiet mountain cave, Mu Chen tightly shut his eyes, while continuously calling out within his mind. As the Jiu You Sparrow had entered a dormant state of evolution, he was completely unable to communicate with it. The only thing he could do was to try and see if there would be some effect from his calls.
Although this method was slightly stupid, it was the only thing Mu Chen could do at this moment. If not, once he used the Jiu You Sparrow to refine the Demonic Dragon Poison within Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong's bodies, Mo Longzi might have already finished off Lin Zheng and the rest.
Seeing Mu Chen's current state, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong did not dare to make any noise to disturb him. Although they appeared to be fine on the surface, they were feeling somewhat anxious and fretful within their hearts due to the Demonic Dragon Poison. If Mu Chen was truly able to swiftly refine the Demonic Dragon Poison within their bodies, it would be truly good news for them.
Although they did not dare to hold too much hope towards the probability of success, having hope was always good news.
As time slowly elapsed, cold sweat started to surface on Mu Chen's forehead, while his heart started to feel somewhat anxious and fretful. That's because he had not received any reply from his calls.
"Jiu You, you can't screw up at this time!" Mu Chen's heart anxiously called out.
Within the Cosmos Bracelet, the giant black egg seemed to faintly tremble at this moment, while purplish-gold patterns surfaced on the surface of the giant egg.
Mu Chen had also sensed the commotion and instantly rejoiced.
The purplish-gold patterns grew increasingly dense, while slivers of flames appeared to drift out from within. Those flames weren't black, but purple in colour.
They gently drifted about, appearing frail and weak.
However, they gave off a mysterious feeling of eternity and immortality.
Undying Flames!
Uncontrollable ecstasy erupted within Mu Chen's heart. All of a sudden, Mu Chen's eyes snapped open, before clenching his hand.
A strand of purplish flames appeared within his palm.
Creak!
When the strand of purple flames appeared, space started to distort as an indescribable fluctuation spread out, causing the surrounding Spiritual Energy to become extremely hot. The entire cave was like a furnace.
Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuan Tong stared at the tiny wisp of purple flame, and their bodies trembled.
They could feel the terrifying power contained in this little flame.
"What kind of flame is that?" Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong exchanged a look, their eyes filled with shock.
Phew.
Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, despite the fact that this flame was extremely small.
However, compared to the Jiu You Fire, it was indeed much stronger. The two of them were not on the same level at all.
With this wisp of Immortal Flame, he could refine the Demonic Dragon Poison in Shen Cangsheng and the others' bodies.
It should be very simple.
"I'm going to start.
There shouldn't be any problems this time. "Mu Chen turned his gaze towards Shen Cangsheng as he said with a smile.
Shen Cangsheng heavily nodded his head, a solemn expression on his face.
Mu Chen took a deep breath. In the next instant, with a tap of his finger, the strand of purplish flames fluttered out, before expanding bit by bit. Transforming into a fiery membrane, it enveloped Shen Cangsheng within.
Chi!
Just as the fiery membrane was formed.
Shen Cangsheng's skin instantly turned boiling hot, while sweat endlessly gushed out from his body.
In the next instant, it turned into nothingness. He tightly clenched his teeth, clearly enduring the immense pain.
"Endure it a little more."
Mu Chen said. The Immortal Flame was too powerful, and he was completely unable to control it. Therefore, he did not dare to enter Shen Cangsheng's body. If he lost control, Shen Cangsheng might be reduced to ashes.
Shen Cangsheng clenched his teeth and nodded his head. His body trembled, and veins squirmed like snakes on his skin. It was an extremely frightening sight.
The purple fiery membrane flickered with a faint flame. Under the high temperature, the black spots on Shen Cangsheng's skin also seemed to boil. In the next moment, Mu Chen was pleasantly surprised to see the black poison gas being forced out of Shen Cangsheng's body by the high temperature.
"Ah!"
Shen Cangsheng tightly clenched his teeth, and a beast-like roar came from his throat. His eyes turned scarlet red, and more and more black poison gas seeped out, while the poison spots on the surface of his body shrunk little by little.
This kind of tempering continued for about ten minutes. Finally, the poison spots on Shen Cangsheng's body were completely forced out.
With a wave of Mu Chen's palm, the purple fiery membrane instantly flew back, turning into a tiny flame that floated on his fingertip. However, this time, it seemed to have dimmed a little. Clearly, it had consumed some of its energy.
When the fiery membrane left, Shen Cangsheng's originally dim eyes lit up in an instant. The Spiritual Energy of the heavens and earth in the surroundings surged, endlessly gushing into his body. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations around him rapidly grew stronger.
Without the suppression of the Demonic Dragon Poison, his strength was recovering at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this, Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his gaze towards Li Xuantong, who had a slightly excited expression on his face, he smiled and said, "It's your turn."
Li Xuantong nodded his head, and tightly shut his eyes, waiting for the painful tempering that would follow.
Due to the fact that the poison in Li Xuantong's body was deeper than Shen Cangsheng's, the time needed to expel the poison from Li Xuantong's body was nearly twenty minutes.
Huuu.
When the poison was expelled from his body, Li Xuantong's spirit had also rapidly recovered its sharpness. Ignoring the intense pain radiating from his skin, he immediately entered into a cultivation state, making the best use of his time to recover his Spiritual Energy.
Seeing that the Demonic Dragon Poison within the bodies of the two of them had been dealt with, Mu Chen finally felt completely at ease. Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, the Undying Flame on his fingertip had already become exceedingly weak.
Staring at the Undying Flame, a faint tremble shook through Mu Chen's heart. This flame was extremely formidable. Although it was only a small wisp, it was undoubtedly a Divine Artifact to him.
"Let's see if I can absorb it into my body."
Although others would definitely not dare to do such a thing, Mu Chen was different. His Spiritual Energy had already fused with the Jiu You Fire, and there were some similarities between the Jiu You Fire and the Undying Flame. After all, the Undying Flame was evolved from the Jiu You Fire. Therefore, this wisp of Undying Flame should not be able to resist him.
Thinking about this, Mu Chen no longer hesitated. With a thought, black-flamed Spiritual Energy wrapped around the wisp of Undying Flame, before absorbing it into his body.
Indeed, as Mu Chen had expected, the wisp of Undying Flame did not show any signs of rebellion after entering Mu Chen's body. Extremely happy, Mu Chen carefully absorbed it into his Qi Sea.
Within his Qi Sea, the Divine Soul sucked in the Spiritual Energy with its tiny mouth, while the wisp of Undying Flame floated over and landed on the Divine Soul's tiny hand. There was no signs of rejection between the two.
Upon seeing this, Mu Chen could not help but laugh out loud. He never imagined that he would be able to pick up something good this time around.
Opening his eyes, he saw that Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were still in the midst of recovery. Shifting his gaze, he looked towards the air before him, where a clump of black liquid was squirming.
It was the Demonic Dragon Poison that had been forced out from the bodies of Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong.
Staring at the Demonic Dragon Poison, Mu Chen's gaze faintly flickered. Extending his hand, one could see that his middle finger was slowly turning jet-black, while black lightning faintly surfaced.
Sealed within his middle finger was the Divine Black Lightning Poison, a poison that was even more tyrannical than the Demonic Dragon Poison.
"If this Demonic Dragon Poison is sealed within, it should become even more frightening?"
Mu Chen's eyes faintly narrowed. Without much hesitation, he directly summoned the clump of Demonic Dragon Poison over, before extending his slender finger into it.
Although the Demonic Dragon Poison had turned Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong into an extremely miserable state, Mu Chen was not the least bit afraid. Without mentioning the existence of the Undying Flame within his body, just the Divine Black Lightning Poison alone was enough to suppress it. This thing did not have the ability to overturn the heavens within his body.
Black rays of brilliance sparkled on Mu Chen's finger, before unexpectedly sucking the Demonic Dragon Poison into his finger. Instantly, the originally jet-black colour of his finger turned even more abstruse. This colour caused Mu Chen's skin to turn cold as he looked at it.
Mu Chen carefully observed it. Soon after, his fingertip gently swiped downwards, as an extremely faint black light flashed past. In the next instant, Mu Chen saw a not very wide, but seemingly bottomless scar appear on the hard and solid mountain wall. Corrosive fluctuations radiated from the edges of the scar.
It was a rather astonishing corrosive power.
A smear of astonishment flashed within Mu Chen's eyes. With a thought, the colour of his finger slowly returned to normal. Fortunately, the Northern Sea Dragon had placed a seal on his finger. If not, he would really be unable to suppress that frightening poison.
Bang!
As Mu Chen's finger returned to normal, boundless Spiritual Energy abruptly erupted from within the mountain cave. The entire mountain peak seemed to intensely tremble at this moment, as gigantic cracks started to extend out.
Mu Chen looked over, only to see the boundless Spiritual Energy surging out. At this moment, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had both opened their eyes, as corporeal rays of brilliance sparkled within them.
At this moment, their strength had finally completely recovered. Furthermore, it seemed that they had even become slightly stronger. To them, this unforeseen event had turned into a learning experience.
"Congratulations." said Mu Chen with a smile.
Standing up, boundless Spiritual Energy gushed out from Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong, as the splendour within their eyes recovered once again. Clearly, the first and second on the Heavenly Rankings, who had proudly and proudly laughed at Hokuang Reiwon, had returned.
Feeling the boundless energies within their bodies, joy gushed out from their eyes as they looked towards Mu Chen.
"Thank you very much for your help this time."
Said the two of them with smiles on their faces. Their tones were casual, without much gratitude. However, Mu Chen knew that if he were to encounter any difficulties in the future, even if it meant risking their lives, the two of them would definitely help him.
With a smile, Mu Chen did not say any pleasantries. Furthermore, there was no point in saying anything, as it would instead make him appear pretentious.
"Since the two of you have recovered, shall we move out?" asked Mu Chen as he looked towards the outside of the mountain cave. At this moment, he wondered exactly how Senior Lin Zheng and the rest were doing.
Both Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong heavily nodded their heads as chilling intent gushed out from their eyes.
Mo Longzi, this time, let's continue to fight!
