Most Conceited War God

3The cultivators' eyes were all filled with shock. At the same time, they also cast more gazes toward Ling Jian.    

    

Almost at the same time, the Ancient Sky Shadow Saint Seat also looked over to Ling Jian.    

    

He had spent a great deal of money in order to obtain this Burning Sky Cauldron. Under normal circumstances, he would not even take it out to refine some ordinary medicinal pills.    

    

However, when he faced Ling Jian this time, although he felt that there was no chance for Ling Jian to win, it was better for him, who had always been close to others, to be careful.    

    

"Ling Jian, what do you mean? Why aren't you taking out your own crucible? Do you think that there is no chance for you to win, so you chose to give up?"    

    

Seeing Ling Jian just standing there without moving, Gu Tianying couldn't help but urge him.    

    

"There is no need for a pill cauldron."    

    

Ling Jian spoke blandly. However, the moment he finished speaking, the face of the Ancient Holy Shadow Seat couldn't help but change.    

    

As for the surrounding cultivators, after hearing Ling Jian's words, all of them revealed expressions of shock. How could one refine a medicinal pill without using a medicinal cauldron?    

    

"Hmph, you're just pretending to be mysterious. Ling Jian, let's see what else you can do after this pill competition ends."    

    

Gu Tian Ying coldly snorted as he spoke. After he finished speaking, he formed a seal with his hands. Soon after, a blue flame rose from her palm.    

    

Other than the color of this flame, there was actually something different between it and an ordinary flame.    

    

Especially the flame. As it moved and flickered, it actually created ripples that were like water waves.    

    

However, although it seemed to be emitting normal ripples like water, the temperature that was being emitted from these ripples was quite high.    

    

"Ling Jian, my Sea Heart Flame comes from the Spiritual Fire of a Sacred Beast. Although it's more of the Water element, don't forget that my Burning Sky Cauldron contains the Wood and Fire elements."    

    

"According to the five elements, water can make wood, and wood can make fire. So the advantage of this fight is on my side. I don't believe you can win this time."    

    

Gu Tianying started to recover in his heart. However, he had a clear chance of winning this fight.    

    

The Elders and disciples of the Grand Void Palace weren't unfamiliar with the Ocean Heart Flame that Gu Tianying had.    

    

Although the Ocean Heart Flame wasn't a natural fire seed, it still existed within the body of a beast at the level of a Saint, so it was quite unusual.    

    

If it was used together with the Burning Sky Cauldron in the hands of the Ancient Sky Shadow Sacred Seat, it could be said that it would be very beneficial for refining pills.    

    

"Looks like the Ancient Sky Shadow Sacred Seat is really going to get serious this time."    

    

Wei Zi Chan also spoke with a solemn expression.    

    

In the Grand Illusionary Palace, Gu Tianying's skill in alchemy was the best in the entire Grand Illusionary Palace. Now that Gu Tianying had used the Burning Sky Cauldron and the Sea Heart Flame, even if Ling Jian didn't know how to refine pills, even if he could, he had already reached the level of a saint alchemist. It was unknown whether or not he could defeat Gu Tianying.    

    

And now, Ling Jian had chosen the Tri-colored Profound Spirit Pill that Gu Tianying was best at.    

    

"Ling Jian's talent can indeed be considered heaven-defying. However, his character is a little too arrogant."    

    

Bai Zishen shook his head helplessly at this moment.    

    

In his opinion, if Ling Jian hadn't been so powerful a month ago, he wouldn't have ended up like this.    

    

Although he admired Ling Jian himself, he had to admit that Ling Jian had only himself to blame for what had happened to him. He couldn't blame anyone.    

    

"Gu Tianying, Ling Jian, since you are ready, let's start now."    

    

The Grand Void Palace Master said. As he finished speaking, he saw the Ocean Heart Flame in Gu Tianying's hand suddenly fly out. It turned into a blue streak of light and appeared directly below the Burning Sky Cauldron.    

    

An endless stream of pure Spiritual Energy continued to pour into the Sea Heart Flame. In an instant, the Sea Heart Flame began to erupt with an even more terrifying heat. The moment this heat spread out, it caused the surrounding space to become distorted.    

    

However, although the temperature of the Sea Heart Flame was extremely high, the Burning Sky Cauldron was clearly not an ordinary item. The Burning Sky Cauldron remained completely still under this frightening high temperature. However, the temperature within the Burning Sky Cauldron continued to rise.    

    

"Ling Jian, I have already begun to warm up. Why aren't you starting soon?"    

    

Gu Tianying looked at Ling Jian and suddenly spoke in a deep voice.    

    

As long as he waited for the temperature in the Burning Heaven Cauldron to rise, he would be able to start the final pill refinement.    

    

Ling Jian's expression did not change. However, after hearing the words of the Ancient Sky Shadow Sacred Seat, he raised his palm slightly, and a black flame also shot out.    

    

If one were to compare the color of their flames together, the flame in Ling Jian's hand naturally could not be compared to the Ocean Heart Flame. However, after the flame in Ling Jian's hand appeared, the temperature of the surrounding space instantly rose.    

    

As for his Seaheart Flame, it seemed to have been completely suppressed at this moment, and the frequency of its beating was not as obvious as before.    

    

"What's going on?"    

    

Gu Tianying immediately noticed the problem and revealed a puzzled expression. The Ocean Heart Flame had appeared in his hands for many years, but this was the first time something like this had happened.    

    

The Ancient Sky Shadow Sacred Seat's eyes involuntarily looked at the black flame in Ling Jian's hand. His eyes also became a little uncertain in an instant.    

    

"Huh, why does the black flame on Ling Jian's palm seem a little unusual?"    

    

At the same time, the surrounding cultivators also noticed this scene, and their eyes immediately became anxious and doubtful.    

    

Wei Zi Chan and Bai Zishen's eyes were focused on the black flame in Ling Jian's palm. They clearly remembered that at the beginning of the Great Sect Assembly, Ling Jian had used this flame to form a spear to attack Tang Jie.    

    

However, at that time, Ling Jian had used a spear made of fire to attack Yang Haixuan and killed him in one move, but he still didn't take it to heart.    

    

However, from the looks of it, the temperature of the fire should be extremely terrifying.    

    

"The flame in Ling Jian's hand is even higher than the Ocean Heart Flame in the hands of the Ancient Sky Shadow Sacred Seat."    

    

The Grand Illusionary Palace Master looked at the flame in Ling Jian's hand and revealed a surprised expression.    

    

He was the one with the highest cultivation among them, so he could clearly feel how terrifying the flame was.    

    

The flame in Ling Jian's hand suppressed the Ocean Heart Flame the moment it appeared. Clearly, the quality of the Ocean Heart Flame was not low.    

    

"Could it be that Ling Jian really has a high talent in alchemy?"    

    

At this moment, when the Grand Illusionary Palace Master looked at Ling Jian, he instantly became surprised. With such a powerful flame, he suddenly felt that Ling Jian must have a very high level of attainment in the cultivation of pills.    

    

This time, Ling Jian might really be able to win!    

    

...    

    

Below, Gu Tian Ying's face instantly became extremely ugly when he saw that his Sea Heart Flame had actually been completely suppressed by the black flame in Ling Jian's hand.    

    

Nevertheless, Gu Tianying did not do anything too violent. Instead, he took a deep breath and took out a set of ingredients for the Tri-colored Profound Spirit Pill from his Cosmos Sack.    

    

@    

    

It could be said that even though he had just arrived at the Lava Region, it was extremely dangerous because it was a barren land of the Lava Region.    

    

If it was a normal Profound Qi cultivator, they probably wouldn't even be able to last a day here.    

    

The Snow Devouring Mouse followed behind Ling Jian and the Divine Ax Warrior and left the cave.    

    

The current Divine Ax Warriors also had a life of their own. They were no longer just puppets like before. Therefore, after entering the Lava Region, they immediately broke through to the Mystic Spirit stage. Although they were only at the Small Mystic Spirit stage, with their strong physical bodies, they were not afraid even when facing some Middle Mystic Spirit stage warriors.    

    

On the other hand, because of the mystical beasts, the Snowbiter Rat did not break through as quickly as the Divine Axist did after entering the Lava Region. Although it was still at the Half-Step Profound Spirit Realm, the strength it could unleash was still not to be underestimated.    

    

In addition, because profound beasts were born with strong bodies and some special powers, even though the Snowbiter Rats were only half a step away from the Profound Spirit Realm, they could still kill some Profound Spirit Realm warriors by relying on many advantages.    

    

At this moment, as the two men and the beast walked out of the cave, the Snowbiter Rat suddenly let out a rat's cry, and its body rapidly grew in size. In an instant, it transformed from a miniature mouse into a burly, somewhat ungainly, and ferocious-looking mouse.    

    

In the Shattered Ice Realm, the Snowbiter had looked like this, but now that he was in the Lava Realm, he had no intention of hurrying, and in order not to attract attention, the Snowbiter had to make himself look like a weak mascot, like a mouse.    

    

Now that they had a need, they naturally wouldn't continue to act like such mascots.    

    

At this moment, when the Snowbiter Rat had transformed into a burly state of battle, Ling Jian and the Divine Ax Warrior both leaped up and landed directly on the Snowbiter Rat's shoulders. The Snowbiter Rat did not hesitate at all, and directly aimed at the valley that the Divine Ax Warrior had discovered earlier.    

    

As a profound beast, the Snow Devouring Rats were naturally faster than normal human martial artists. Along the way, they encountered many profound beasts that grew in the Lava Region. These profound beasts were weak, so when the Snow Devouring Rats' aura fell, they scattered and fled.    

    

After about five or ten minutes of walking, they soon reached the valley where the Great Ax had seen it.    

    

Looking down from a small hill outside the valley, they could clearly see the situation inside the fiery red valley.    

    

It could be said that the valley was filled with weeds. However, the weeds here were dark red in color. Even so, the scene of them being overgrown with weeds gave one a relaxed and happy feeling. It was as if one had suddenly seen an oasis in the desert. It was extremely conspicuous in this current desolate land.    

    

"Not bad, not bad. The Qi of Heaven and Earth here is so much better than anywhere else on the outside."    

    

Ling Jian looked at the small valley in front of him. After sensing the rich Qi flowing around him, he slowly opened his mouth and spoke.    

    

On the side, the Divine Ax Warrior also nodded. Ever since he was saved by Ling Jian, he had always been by his side. Now that he was already in the Small Mystery Spirit Realm, he naturally noticed this as well.    

    

"Shi Xue, let's go over and take a look."    

    

Ling Jian said to the Snow Devouring Mouse. Hearing that, the Snow Devouring Mouse quickly approached the small valley. The few of them quickly appeared at the entrance of the small valley.    

    

However, Ling Jian and the Godly Axe Warriors did not choose to charge into the valley. They had just arrived at the Lava Region, so they were not familiar with the Lava Region. Furthermore, they did not know what kind of battle power existed in the small valley in front of them, so they naturally would not enter it easily.    

    

"Master, there are not many warriors in this valley, and their cultivation is not very high, but they have one thing in common, and that is that they like to move in groups. There are very few cases where they are alone."    

    

The man with the great axe explained for Ling Jian.    

    

The divine ax warrior had been observing the valley for the past week. Now, he had told Ling Jian everything he knew.    

    

Ling Jian seemed to nod when he heard that. That was within his knowledge.    

    

Although the Lava Realm was the closest to the Shattered Ice Realm, and a medium-sized one at that, not all martial artists were powerful, so of course there were weak ones.    

    

These warriors lived in the wilderness all year round, and the danger of the wilderness was very high. It was best to keep warm when one's cultivation was not high enough.    

    

"Snow Devouring Mouse, let's change back first."    

    

Ling Jian spoke again to the Snowbiter Rat. Now that they were in the valley, in order not to attract attention, they would turn the Snowbiter Rat into the size of a normal rat, so as not to attract attention.    

    

The Snow Devouring Mouse didn't hesitate either. It nodded its head, and its body shrunk back to the size of a mascot.    

    

At this moment, Ling Jian's gaze turned towards the valley. He saw that at the entrance of the valley, there was a huge wall. It was unknown whether it was because of the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Lava Region, but this wall was made of an unknown dark red material, and it was emitting a high temperature.    

    

But it was on this stone wall, which radiated heat, that the figures of warriors were faintly visible.    

    

In the middle of the huge stone wall, there was a huge stone door. The stone door was a deep black color. The stone door was tightly shut, cutting off the view from the outside of the valley.    

    

"A warrior has arrived."    

    

Just as Ling Jian was about to use his Mystic Senses, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He then looked in a certain direction.    

    

The Snow Devouring Mouse and the Godly Axe Warriors also followed Ling Jian's gaze and looked over. They saw a group of martial artists appearing in the distance.    

    

There were quite a few of these warriors gathered together, at least for Ling Jian and the Godly Axe Warriors, it was definitely a lot. However, their clothes were extremely ordinary and primitive, and there were even some warriors who wore the leather gloves of mystical beasts on their bodies, which were extremely rough.    

    

However, although these warriors seemed to be dressed in ordinary clothes, each of them looked quite burly and muscular, and some of them were even more powerful than the mighty axemen.    

    

Furthermore, the auras of these warriors were not weak at all. Although there was still a gap between them and the Godly Axe Warriors, they had all reached the half-step Mystic Spirit Realm. They were only one step away from reaching the Mystic Spirit Realm.    

    

At this moment, these people didn't stay any longer after they approached the valley. They were obviously planning to enter the valley directly.    

    

Ling Jian looked at them blandly. As they got closer to him, he could see more clearly.    

    

They saw that these human warriors were carrying profound beasts of different sizes on their backs. Most of these profound beasts were in the realm of Qi, but most of them had not even reached the realm of Qi. They just had a little bit of Qi on them.    

    

"It seems that these are warriors who came back from hunting."    

    

The Divine Axis Realm expert said in confusion as he looked at Ling Jian. He didn't know much about this world and the reason he came back was to hunt. As the name suggested, he hunted for food.    

    

Although powerful cultivators could do without eating or drinking, that was only limited to being powerful. For cultivators in the realm of Qi, they also needed to have the ability to eat and drink like normal warriors. Otherwise, not to mention cultivating, it would be extremely difficult to maintain normal physical strength.     3

    

And, to the surprise of the great axeman, this was the first time in a week that this had happened, even though he had been observing the valley.    

    

Although the warriors in the realm of Qi were the lowest, that was only relative to the warriors in the realm of Qi cultivation. But for ordinary people, it was not ordinary. However, the warriors in front of them were living such a primitive life. This could be seen clearly from the fact that they hunted, ate the Xuan Beasts as food, and wore the skins of the Xuan Beasts as clothes.
