Genius Daddy in the City Chapter 429 - Consuming the Golden Fire Crystal!

Chapter 429: Consuming the Golden Fire Crystal!

The silk note was intact as it had remained close to the corpse.

Ye Chen opened it and found out that it was written in traditional Chinese.

“My name is Lin Feng and I come from the Lin family of Yanyang City. My mother pa.s.sed away after I was born, so I was known as an ominous person. When my family then found out that there’s no martial vein within my body, they cast me aside because I was an eyesore to them.

“However, I obtained a method by chance when I was 16. I can consume fire to elevate my cultivation base. Since then, I’ve left home and traveled the world. I’ve consumed at least 20 types of fires for the past ten years. Eventually, I’m now merely a step from getting to Origin Energy!

“I chanced upon this place and found out that Huo’er was extremely excited by this sinkhole. I suspect there’s spiritual fire beneath this sinkhole. After finally managing to enter the sinkhole, I found the spiritual fire. In addition to that, the spiritual fire was even better than the one I consumed earlier. However, it was life-threatening!

“I’m a useless man to my family, so I’ve been humiliated in many ways. I want to grow myself and take back what I’ve lost after breaking through to Origin Energy. Therefore, I decided to consume this spiritual fire.

“Never had I thought that the spiritual fire would take over my life and cultivation base as soon as I consumed it. In the end, I could only use the cultivation base I was left with to seal the spiritual fire…”

The note on the silk ended there.

Ye Chen’s expression changed a few times, then he eventually speculated, “It seems like although he sealed the Golden Fire Crystal, he failed to prevent himself from getting killed. The Golden Fire Crystal must’ve taken his life completely. That must be the reason why he was so old.”

As for Huo’er in the note, it must have been the fire crow from before. It was considered loyal to have preserved its master’s body for so long since his death.

Ye Chen looked at the green jade token in his hand. With the character ‘Lin’ carved on it, it must be the person’s ident.i.ty token. Meanwhile, there was a mediocre-looking young man who was in his 20s in the ancient painting which must be the man’s self-portrait.

“How dare a mortal consume the divine fire?” He shook his head lightly while he had mixed feelings about the man’s daring decision.

Since it was divine fire, it would consume anything it touched, let alone one’s cultivation base and life. If the man had not prepared the jade bed ahead, his body might have been burnt by the divine fire entirely.

“But where did he come from? What’s that martial vein that he mentioned?” he thought to himself while frowning. Subsequently, he put away the jade token and self-portrait into his storage ring.

“Initially, I thought there might be fire essence in here. I never thought there’d be Golden Fire Crystal, which is even better. Since that’s the case, I’ve more confidence of achieving the Divine Dao Foundation. I can even use the Golden Fire Crystal to refine an ability!

“However, I’ll need to consume the Golden Fire Crystal just like Lin Feng did if I want to get to Foundation Building. If the divine fire backfires, although the consequences I might suffer won’t be like what Lin Feng went through, the cultivation base that I’ve taken so much effort to build will be gone!”

Ye Chen’s expression changed, and he eventually shook his head lightly. “The path of cultivation is all about fate anyway. When did I become so fearful and hesitant?

“My cultivation base will be taken away by the divine fire if the breakthrough fails. That’s the worst thing that could happen. I’ll still have my body. However, if I managed to break through to Divine Dao Foundation, my journey will be smoother. I’ll have a significant addition to techniques. Then, n.o.body will be a threat to me in the entire world!”

Ye Chen stopped struggling after making up his mind. He got up and walked outside the immortal’s cave where he lifted his arms and set up a barrier. Then, he waved and moved Lin Feng’s body aside, before he sat on the jade bed with his legs crossed. After taking five bottles of Qi Cultivation Pills out, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Golden Fire Crystal and three Qi Cultivation Pills without hesitation.

As soon as the Golden Fire Crystal entered his stomach, it turned into a golden fire that was the size of a pigeon’s egg. Almost instantly, a terrifying suction came from the golden fire. It tore through Ye Chen dantian and organs manically.

It felt like a bag of lime being tossed into a bucket of water.

Meanwhile, the spiritual energy that was transformed from the three Qi Cultivation Pills was engulfed by the suction from the golden fire immediately. That was not the end though. The suction went after the spiritual energy in Ye Chen’s dantian.

Ye Chen released a low groan after sensing the discomfort coming from his stomach. He consumed another three Qi Cultivation Pills and cultivated the Emperor Scripture at the same time!

Bang!

The golden fire in his body grew. Within a short span of time, it grew from the size of a pigeon’s egg to a hen’s egg. It resembled the sun. Meanwhile, countless golden fires appeared on Ye Chen’s skin, burning his clothes completely.

…

At the same time, at the Shennong Altar in Shennongjia, Master Xiegu looked at the people with his arms behind his back after defeating Wu Yan from Lingnan. He was getting more arrogant now as he challenged, “Who else is willing to spar with me?”

Many of them held their heads low as he glanced at them. They dared not look into his eyes. After all, he had defeated Wu Yan, who was also on Illuminating G.o.d, with a magical tool, so most of them would not be his match.

Master Xiegu watched all of their reactions. He felt even more arrogant now, but there was a slightly grim expression in his eyes.

In the entire Tiannan, the people of the world only knew about Tiannan’s No. 1, Mad Southern Ye. However, n.o.body knew that he, Master Xiegu, had extraordinary spells too!

‘What did Mad Southern Ye even do? He’s just a coward with brute force, isn’t he? How can he rank above me in Tiannan?’

His eyes burned ferociously as he thought to this point!

‘I’ll make sure everyone knows me through this Longmen Convention today! I want everyone to know that Mad Southern Ye isn’t the only powerful one in Tiannan. There’s me, Master Xiegu, too. I’m even more powerful than Mad Southern Ye. If I can rank the top three in this Longmen Convention and go into Dragon Tiger Mountain to read the cultivation books, I have the confidence to break through to Origin Energy! Who will Mad Southern Ye even be by then? I want to break his legend!’

At the same time, among the crowd, Yuan Qitai looked at the few people around him and said softly, “Guys, aren’t we doing anything? We’ve attracted attention since the four tomb-raiding sects are here today. If we don’t fight, we might expose the Heavenly Tomb’s existence.”

He looked at the blind old man next to him as he spoke to this point. “Situ Jin, I’ll fight Xiegu first and then challenge you. It’s time you people from Mojin return the Mountain Ruler that belongs to us, Banshan!”

He was ready to go as soon as he was done speaking. At that moment, a clap of intense thunder and the whistling of the wind came from far away as if there was a strike of lightning. The crowd was stunned to hear that.

“Guys, look! Someone is in the sky!” a person exclaimed.

The people lifted their eyes to look. They saw a gigantic big silhouette coming toward them in the sky. Within the span of a few breaths, it entered everyone’s field of vision.

“There really is someone. He’s carrying something!”

“Casket, he’s carrying a casket!”

“That casket weighs at least 100 kilograms? Oh my G.o.d, is that a human? How can he fly when he’s carrying a casket?”

Everyone froze as if they had turned into sculptures. They watched the person flying closer. Meanwhile, Yu Lian was dumbstruck. She covered her lips tightly while disbelief filled her face.

‘That has to be a real G.o.d!’

As Zhang Xuanqing from Dragon Tiger Mountain watched the silhouette in the sky, he was frowning slightly. Even though they were hundreds of meters away from each other, he could sense the person’s majestic aura and killing intent.

He secretly inhaled sharply and said as he frowned, “What powerful killing intent. Shen Tiannan, you’re finally here, but why are you carrying a casket?”
