Chapter 88: Secret Art “Divine Fire True Understanding” Requests Puzzle Completion 【First Update for Monthly Tickets】

Lake Heart Island.

Hearing Zhang Song’s description, an Elder with red hair from the Pure Yang Palace team shouted, “Impossible!”

“Sima Ruhong is already ranked second among Pure Yang Palace’s Inner Sect Disciples. His strength is enough to fight a Golden Core. You’re saying that Jiang Li, after winning seventy consecutive matches, can still defeat Sima Ruhong? How is this possible? Is this Jiang Li your Tianxuan Holy Land’s number one Inner Sect Disciple? Or has he already reached the Golden Core Stage, and you’re bullying the small with the big?”

Che Yufei quickly gave a look to the questioning Elder, signaling him to stop asking.

The red-haired Elder said in dissatisfaction, “What are you afraid of? If Tianxuan Holy Land is relying on its power to bully others, we will uphold justice for you. You can’t bully people like this.”

Zhang Song coughed, “The Jiang Li you’re talking about is my Disciple. He only has Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivation.”

The red-haired Elder:…

He glanced at Che Yufei and Sima Ruhong, who lowered his head in shame.

This meant it wasn’t a mistake.

Damn it.

It turned out they were the ones being bullied.

He mumbled and stopped speaking.

He retreated into the team.

He kept muttering things like “How is this possible?” and “He must be a monster.”

The other Pure Yang Palace Elders also had varied expressions.

A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator defeating their number two Prodigy? Tianxuan Holy Land still had such a Prodigy?

They looked at Che Yufei, wanting to know more specific details.

Che Yufei, helpless, could only recount the entire process.

After listening.

The expressions of the Pure Yang Palace Elders became even more spectacular.

A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator comprehending Sword Form Like Rainbow?

Is that true or false?

This news was too shocking.

After a long while.

A refined Young Master in the Pure Yang Palace team broke the silence, praising, “As expected of Tianxuan Holy Land. Speaking of which, on my way here, I also encountered a Disciple who surprised me. That person was only a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator, but his comprehension of the Concept of Wind had reached an astonishing level. He controlled the wind with his body, moving with it, and his speed already surpassed most Golden Core Cultivators. I wonder if this person is the Jiang Li you’re talking about?”

Zhang Song looked at Vice Hall Master Bai with some surprise.

Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master nodded slightly, “It is indeed him.”

Upon hearing this.

The Pure Yang Palace Elders recalled Jiang Li, who had flown past them with the wind not long ago.

They deeply memorized his appearance.

Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master also smoothed things over at this moment, saying, “The juniors were just playing around and didn’t pay much attention to propriety. I’ll talk to him next time.”

Everyone: You’re talking nonsense. How could you scold such a Prodigy when you should be protecting him? Not to mention that today he only challenged their Pure Yang Palace Inner Sect Disciples; even if he accidentally killed someone, Tianxuan Holy Land would definitely protect him to the death.

Thinking of this.

The Pure Yang Palace Elders also found it hard to say anything more.

At this moment.

Seeing Che Yufei about to follow the main group, Zhang Song reminded him, “Elder Che, don’t forget the bet you promised.”

Che Yufei’s expression stiffened.

After thinking for a moment.

He gathered the other Disciples, had them hand over all the Spiritual Flames in their possession, and promised to replace them with new ones once they returned to Pure Yang Palace.

Even his Disciple Sima Ruhong’s Third Rank Crimson Flame was taken, and he also added a Third Rank Spiritual Flame from his own inventory, as well as an unknown Cultivation Technique, to make up for the equivalent value of the bet.

Seeing this, Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master frowned slightly. Wasn’t this a bit too much bullying?

Regarding this.

Zhang Song said, “This is what Jiang Li needs.”

Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master’s brows relaxed.

The conversation came back to this.

Pure Yang Palace’s objective for the Dao discussion and sparring was not pure to begin with. Giving them a good beating was still necessary. If they didn’t pay a price, how could the prestige of Tianxuan Holy Land be established?

……

On the other side.

Jiang Li, floating in the air, breathed a sigh of relief.

A dignified Immortal Sect, yet they didn’t even know there was a Devil Head mixed in their team.

If he hadn’t sensed wrong, this Devil Head’s Cultivation should be at Golden Core Peak, and his status in Pure Yang Palace was not low. How did an Elder of this level become a Devil Head?

Jiang Li shook his head inwardly: Forget it, it has nothing to do with him anyway. If the sky falls, there are higher-ups to hold it up. He’ll just mention it later.

Just as he was thinking.

On the only path back.

Two graceful figures stood in the air, and upon seeing Jiang Li, they waved and shook vigorously.

“Jiang Li, Jiang Li, we’re here! Aren’t you surprised? Aren’t you unexpected?”

These two were Murong Qing and Li Xi.

“Why are you here?”

“Hehe, Jiang Li, you definitely wouldn’t guess. We deliberately waited for you here. Qingqing said that after your match, you would definitely slip away immediately, so if we wanted to celebrate with you, we just had to wait on your path back to see you.”

Jiang Li was a little speechless.

Was this Murong Qing a worm in his stomach? How could she synchronize with his thoughts like this?

“Congratulations. With your current strength, being in the top three of the Inner Sect is definitely not a problem.”

Seeing Jiang Li’s gaze, Murong Qing said in a cool and clear voice.

Although her tone was faint, for this cool and clear Fairy to say such things, it was enough to prove that her attitude towards Jiang Li was not ordinary.

“You’re not bad either. With Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivation, and having Cultivated the Holy Land’s Sect-Protecting Cultivation Technique, ranking in the top ten is definitely not a problem.”

After his Divine Sense Breakthrough, he became more sensitive to auras.

The Murong Qing in front of him seemed to only have Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivation, but with the blessing of an Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique and a special Physique, her true combat power had definitely reached Foundation Establishment Peak, or even half a step into Golden Core.

Ranking in the top ten of the Inner Sect was not a big problem.

This was a true Genius.

Unlike him, who could only rely on a cheat in a plain and unremarkable way.

Li Xi’s almond eyes narrowed, and her sparkling big eyes swept over the two of them.

“You two, something’s going on.”

Li Xi’s words made Murong Qing’s eyes flicker several times before she said in an annoyed tone, “When has your judgment ever been correct?”

Li Xi pouted her small mouth, “Qingqing, how can you expose me? I just felt that you two seemed to have suddenly become a bit estranged, but since I guessed wrong, I’ll apologize to you. Come on, I’ll take you to eat something delicious.”

Murong Qing rolled her eyes at her, “That’s your real purpose, isn’t it?”

Li Xi chuckled, her small canine teeth peeking out slightly, looking as proud as if she had stolen a dried fish.

“This is also a celebration for Chief Jiang Li.”

Jiang Li smiled.

And followed along.

Dan Peak.

A two-story pavilion.

Li Xi mysteriously prepared for a while, then reached out her hand.

An ancient tree, ten meters tall, was summoned.

The ancient tree was verdant like jade, exuding a strong aura of life. Just smelling it could add a few years to one’s life.

Li Xi plucked a petal.

And boiled it with spiritual water.

During this process, she skipped and jumped to the room, bringing out a pile of spiritual fruits, several bottles of top-grade Medicinal Pills, and mortal food, such as osmanthus cakes, red date cakes, and pineapple tarts—everything imaginable.

“Here, here, these are all my treasures.”

Li Xi introduced them brightly.

Jiang Li’s attention was on the ancient tree of life and the boiled spiritual tea, and he asked with some surprise, “What is this?”

Murong Qing took a sip, “It’s a Seventh Rank spiritual plant, a Bodhi Tree, and the Bodhi flowers it produces. It has the effect of helping Cultivators clear their minds, calm their spirits, and enhance their Comprehension Ability.”

Jiang Li was startled when he heard this.

A Seventh Rank spiritual plant?

Holy cow.

Fifth Rank was already Void Refining Stage level.

Seventh Rank, wouldn’t that be a spiritual item that could grow to near Immortal Rank?

“Dan Peak actually has a spiritual plant of this level?”

“This isn’t from Dan Peak. It’s the accompanying spiritual item of the Longevity Physique, sharing two lives with her.”

Jiang Li gasped.

The Longevity Physique, truly terrifying.

“Oh, Jiang Li, don’t listen to Qingqing’s nonsense. This Bodhi Tree can only grow to Seventh Rank; it’s only a Second Rank spiritual plant now. I was able to achieve Asking the Dao Foundation Establishment because of it.”

Jiang Li: That makes much more sense.

However, being accompanied by a spiritual item that can grow to Immortal Rank, this kind of treatment is truly enviable.

The only item he currently possessed that could grow to Immortal Rank was the Spiritual Flame he had devoured using the Secret Art “Divine Fire True Understanding.”

Jiang Li raised his teacup and took a sip.

A cool Qi rose from his abdomen, flowing into his Sea of Consciousness like sweet dew.

In an instant.

He felt his inspiration and Comprehension Ability begin to erupt. Insights into the Dao of the Sword gushed forth like well water, but most of them stopped abruptly.

The effect of this cool Qi was only to make one more proficient in the comprehension of Cultivation Techniques and Spells, but it couldn’t lead to a decisive Breakthrough.

But then again, it made sense.

For a Second Rank spiritual plant to achieve this level was already extremely Heaven-Defying.

To truly achieve the effect of comprehending the Dao, it would probably only be possible after the Fourth Rank.

Besides that.

This cool Qi constantly kept his Sea of Consciousness clear, which also improved his Cultivation efficiency.

The celebration continued late into the night.

It wasn’t until Li Xi exclaimed that she couldn’t eat anymore that Jiang Li left.

Murong Qing also left with him.

On the way.

Jiang Li seemed to remember something and took out a white jade hairpin from his Storage Ring.

“You’ve already reached Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, which meets the conditions for a Breakthrough. This Flying Sword hairpin is a gift from me. It contains three Sword Lights, which can turn the tide in a critical moment.”

Murong Qing lowered her gaze.

“Li Xi seems to have one too. She seems to treasure it.”

Jiang Li nodded, “I gave her one too.”

Giving them both, is it just an ordinary gift…? Murong Qing understood the implied meaning.

“However, her Flying Sword hairpin stores Sword Rainbow, while yours stores Sword Light.”

Murong Qing quickly looked up.

“You specifically prepared it for me?”

“Yes.”

Of course, he wouldn’t say that he had condensed too many Sword Lights while practicing, which made him think of putting a few in there.

“Thank you, I like it very much.”

Murong Qing’s voice became unusually gentle, and her eyes held a soft, smiling gaze.

This smile, under the night sky, was as dazzling as the stars.

……

It was already midnight when he returned to Sword Palace.

Jiang Li saw that his master’s side hall was still lit, so he walked in.

“Where have you been all day, you rascal? If I didn’t know you were fine, I would have sent people to look for you.”

Jiang Li scratched his head.

He couldn’t very well say that he had spent the day tasting tea with the two most dazzling pearls of Tianxuan Holy Land.

“Alright, your performance this time was too brilliant. You severely blunted the vigor of Pure Yang Palace and established your reputation. From now on, the attention on you will become even higher, and you will officially enter the eyes of those Saint candidates. You need to pay more attention.”

Zhang Song instructed.

Jiang Li nodded.

When he agreed to act, he had already anticipated the current outcome.

However, there was also a solution: he just needed to appear less in the public eye.

If he had to go out, he would directly leave the Sect.

“Hmm, it’s good that you have an idea. This is the bet Che Yufei handed over. There are a total of sixty-six Spiritual Flames, including two Third Rank Spiritual Flames. That should be enough for your Purple Yang Fire to advance to Fourth Rank.”

“Oh right, there’s also a Cultivation Technique that Che Yufei used as collateral. According to him, he found it in an ancient treasure vault, and it’s also a fire-attribute Cultivation Technique. You can take a look.”

Jiang Li was a little surprised.

He flipped through the Cultivation Technique.

Origin Flame Art.

This was a Spell for controlling flames, and it had a special Cultivation method, which was pressure. The heavier the burden on the body, the smoother the Cultivation Technique operated, and the easier it was to control.

As he finished flipping through it, a System notification sound appeared in his mind.

【Ding, Secret Art “Divine Fire True Understanding” states that since they are all fire-attributed, it means they were one family five hundred years ago, all flowing with the same Bloodline. Now, they are returning to their ancestors, which is cause for celebration. It requests that the branch Bloodline return to the main family to strengthen the fire-attribute lineage.】

Eh?

Jiang Li was a little stunned.

Is it that brazen?

All fire-attribute Cultivation Techniques originated from the Divine Fire True Understanding?

All other fire-attribute Cultivation Techniques are your branches and sidelines?

He had only acquired the Secret Art “Divine Fire True Understanding” a few days ago, and it had already silently unleashed a big move on him.

Moreover, it was different from the evolution of sword arts and the Fusion of Cultivation Techniques. The Secret Art “Divine Fire True Understanding” meant completing a puzzle.

Interesting.

“Agree.”
