Chapter 106: Humiliating Liu Qianru, Exotic Fire in Burning Heaven Valley

Immense humiliation and rage instantly engulfed Liu Qianru, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She wanted to retreat, but her feet were nailed to the spot.

If only she had chosen to firmly support Zhou Chen back then…

"Look at you."

Ye Chen looked down at her from on high, extended his foot, and pointed to a speck of mud on his luxurious dharma boots.

"Come here and wipe it clean for me."

His tone was unquestionable.

Outer Sect Disciples of Yanhuo Holy Land had already gathered around, watching from afar, but no one dared to approach.

Everyone knew that this newly promoted Fire Spirit Body Genius was a key focus of the Holy Land and had a violent temper.

There must be a reason why he was provoking Liu Qianru; outsiders interfering would be courting death.

Liu Qianru shivered all over, biting her lips until they bled.

"Ye Chen! You are going too far!"

She looked up abruptly, tears swirling in her eyes.

"Tsk, still daring to talk back?"

The murderous Aura in Ye Chen's eyes surged.

"Just based on you, this kind of trash? Let me tell you, although I hate Zhou Chen, I look down even more on a woman like you who acts like a whore while trying to maintain a virtuous facade!"

The Spiritual Qi in his hand suddenly transformed into a fire whip, lashing fiercely toward Liu Qianru!

Crack!

Liu Qianru's protective Spiritual Qi was as good as non-existent, and the shadow of the whip lashed fiercely against her left shoulder.

"Ah—!"

A wave of excruciating pain surged, and Liu Qianru was sent flying by the immense force, crashing into the courtyard wall before rolling down in a disheveled state.

"Trash is just trash!"

Ye Chen flicked his hand as if he had swatted away a fly.

"You can't even take one whip from me, and you still deserve to be called a Genius of Wenxian Sect?!"

He walked step by step toward the curled-up Liu Qianru, his eyes filled with deep disdain.

Liu Qianru lay on the ground, the burning pain in her left shoulder almost making her faint; every word Ye Chen spoke was stabbing at her fiercely.

She closed her eyes, her heart dead and cold.

Watching Liu Qianru's desperate appearance, a sense of satisfaction welled up in Ye Chen's heart.

Just then, a deacon of Yanhuo Holy Land hurried over.

"Junior Brother Ye, the Elder has sent a message asking you to immediately proceed to the Chiyan Hall. There is an urgent matter!"

Ye Chen frowned, glanced at Liu Qianru on the ground, and spat disdainfully.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Having said that, Ye Chen turned and strode away.

Liu Qianru let her tears flow freely, her heart filled with regret.

No one sympathized with her; the surrounding Outer Sect Disciples of Yanhuo all looked at her with gloating expressions.

Chiyan Hall.

"Greetings, Master."

Ye Chen bowed respectfully to the old man sitting in the main hall; it was Shi Yi, an Inner Sect Elder of Yanhuo Holy Land.

"Dust, your cultivation progress is not bad. In less than three months, you have already reached the tenth level of Core Formation."

Shi Yi showed a hint of gratification. In his view, Ye Chen's cultivation progress indeed exceeded his expectations.

Little did he know that this was the result of Ye Chen's eagerness for revenge, consuming Medicinal Pills without regard for the consequences.

Fortunately, the Foundation the Ring Spirit helped him build earlier was solid, so his Aura did not appear unstable.

"Dust, you have been in the sect for several months. Master has secured an Opportunity for you to use the Chaos Fire Pool; you can take this chance to attempt a Breakthrough in one go."

Shi Yi raised his hand, and a storage ring flew into Ye Chen's hand.

"These are the Medicinal Pills I prepared for you. Inside are a few Heaven Rank Nascent Soul Pills, as well as various auxiliary Medicinal Pills, enough to ensure your advancement is foolproof."

"Thank you, Master!"

Ye Chen was overjoyed.

"There is one more thing. The Burning Heaven Valley in the Gui Xu Secret Realm is about to open. According to past intelligence, there is a high probability of Exotic Fire existing in the Burning Heaven Valley. The Fire Spirit Body has a special resonance with Exotic Fire. If you can subdue the Exotic Fire, your cultivation can advance further."

Ye Chen couldn't help but feel moved. In his view, Shi Yi not only gave him sufficient cultivation resources but also helped him secure various Opportunities.

His cultivation speed had greatly increased, even faster than it had been under the guidance of the Ring Spirit.

If the Ring Spirit knew what Ye Chen was thinking right now, it would probably be so angry it would self-detonate its soul body.

"System, check Ye Chen's Opportunity."

Far away in the Taichu Holy Land, Zhou Chen directly opened the opportunity panel.

[Name: Ye Chen.]

[Recent Opportunity 1]: Today, in the Chaos Fire Pool of the Yanhuo Holy Land, absorb enough Innate Fire Spiritual Qi to successfully Breakthrough to the first level of Nascent Soul.

[Recent Opportunity 2]: Five days later, in the Secret Realm of the Burning Heaven Valley, find the Ice Spirit Cold Fire, which ranks twenty-first on the Exotic Fire list. After successfully absorbing it, Breakthrough to the second level of Nascent Soul, and the power of the Fire Spirit Body will greatly increase.]

It seems Ye Chen's Opportunity has started to take effect again, Zhou Chen pondered inwardly.

What puzzled Zhou Chen was that despite Ye Chen not having any particularly good Opportunities recently, how did he break through to the tenth level of Core Formation?

Could Ye Chen's cultivation talent really be that terrifying?

He just didn't know what kind of place this Burning Heaven Valley was; he needed to find out.

"Elder Mu, do you know what kind of place the Burning Heaven Valley is?"

Zhou Chen looked into the void and asked indifferently.

Mu Yuandao looked at Zhou Chen, somewhat surprised.

Although the Burning Heaven Valley was not a secret, Zhou Chen had come into contact with it so quickly; he must have his own information channels.

"The Burning Heaven Valley is a Forbidden Land in the Gui Xu Secret Realm. The perimeter of this Forbidden Land is usually covered by terrifying Restrictions, and inside, flames rage all year round. Various fire-attribute spiritual objects and Yao Beasts live within it. However, the Restrictions are too powerful to be forcibly broken from the outside."

Mu Yuandao paused.

"Every three years, the Restrictions of the Burning Heaven Valley become extremely weak for one month. During this month, Disciples from various Holy Lands can choose to enter to hunt for treasures or train."

"However, the danger inside is still relatively high, and it is rumored that there is even Exotic Fire, so basically not many Disciples go there."

Zhou Chen nodded, lost in thought.

Following that, he asked about some precautions, and Zhou Chen already had a rough understanding of the Burning Heaven Valley.

Zhou Chen did not waste words; he took a map of the Burning Heaven Valley and headed directly to the entrance of the Gui Xu Secret Realm.

…

Four days later, Burning Heaven Valley.

The Burning Heaven Valley is located in the southern region of the Gui Xu Secret Realm. Here, there are deserts and hills everywhere, and powerful Yao Beasts circle everywhere.

The entrance to the Burning Heaven Valley.

At this moment, a group of Cultivators wearing the attire of various Holy Lands were waiting in battle formation.

Some were here to complete missions, some to train, and some to hunt for treasures; their purposes were varied.

Among them, a young man wearing a green robe, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, looked extremely handsome.

It was none other than Zhou Chen, who had arrived long ago.

The clothes on Zhou Chen's body were voluntarily contributed to him by a Cultivator on the road who had tried to rob him but couldn't defeat him.

Of course, he also contributed his own life in the process.

Before long, a flying boat appeared in the distant sky.

The flying boat was not large, but it was quite imposing, quickly arriving at the entrance of the Burning Heaven Valley.

"It's here!"

Zhou Chen watched the people getting off the flying boat, the corners of his mouth curling into an arc.

The others also looked in the direction of the flying boat.

Before long, a delicate and handsome young man and a delicate-looking woman descended from the flying boat.

Zhou Chen looked at that young man as if he were looking at some peerless treasure.

It seems that this kid Ye Chen is doing quite well in the Yanhuo Holy Land; not only has his cultivation broken through to the first level of Nascent Soul, but he also has a beauty accompanying him when he travels.

"Check Opportunity."

Zhou Chen sized up the woman beside Ye Chen and directly opened the opportunity panel.
