Chapter 581: Chapter 0576: Under the Sky-reaching Peak

Red Flame King opened his eyes and saw that Chen Yu had almost absorbed the essence of the Spiritual Jade Fire Light Stone.

“Kid, do you know that once I have the Innate Spiritual Flame, you immediately use up these precious materials?”

“[Melting Gold Flame] has just been refined by me, and now it’s at its weakest and needs a lot of nourishment!”

Red Flame King said with displeasure.

Chen Yu thought about it and realized that this group of [Melting Gold Flame] had always been trapped in the Jade Fire Bamboo Cage, never having absorbed anything, and was of low quality. At this stage, it couldn’t serve much purpose.

Then he searched inside the [Smoke-spitting Pearl], found some related precious materials, but all of them were of poor quality.

“Kid, this is not enough.”

“This little guy is too weak; he needs strong nourishment!”

Red Flame King shook his head repeatedly.

Whoo!

Above his head burst out a golden spiritual flame, the [Melting Gold Flame], which vigorously moved around, fully agreeing with what Red Flame King said.

“Alright then, this treasure is for you.”

Chen Yu took out a red medicinal herb, its leaves shaped like flames and burning with a faint flame, clearly extraordinary.

This was exactly the Flame Light Grass that Chen Yu had stolen last from Medicine King Valley.

Flame Light Grass could be absorbed by Fire Dao Practitioners to increase their Fire Dao power.

It was also excellent nourishment for an Innate Spiritual Flame.

“That’s more like it.”

After receiving the Flame Light Grass, Red Flame King said nothing else, preparing to let the [Melting Gold Flame] absorb and refine it.

“No hurry, let’s get to Sky-reaching Sect first,”

Chen Yu interrupted the Red Flame King and then said.

Now, most people speculated that the Heaven and Earth Strange Pill crafted by the Alchemy Master was in Sky-reaching Sect.

Chen Yu was also quite eager for this legendary item, so he decided to go and see.

Even if he couldn’t obtain such a treasure, he could still scavenge for some other precious items.

Then, Chen Yu and Red Flame King set off, heading for Sky-reaching Sect!

Originally, Chen Yu had read books about it and only knew the general location of Sky-reaching Sect, but not the precise location.

But that didn’t matter, so many people were looking for Sky-reaching Sect, Chen Yu believed that someone would find it, and the information would gradually spread.

Thus, what Chen Yu needed to do now was hasten there.

…

Sky-reaching Sect was located on a mountain peak in the center of the Blood Star Realm.

This peak was called the highest peak in this realm, extraordinarily tall and dangerously steep.

Climbing to the top and looking down would make even a cultivator weak-kneed.

The Blood Star Realm was vast, and only a few people, who were teleported near, found this place first.

At this moment, at the base of Sky-reaching Peak, there were only ten people!

Among them, two were in the Half-step Sky Sea Realm. The first person was a red-haired man from the Chi Hong Realm with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, always with his eyes closed, exuding an astonishing aura.

The second was a woman in a white dress, wrapped around her arms and waist with a silken ribbon like green jade, ethereal and dreamlike, like a Heavenly Immortal.

That woman was Ning Man Yao, one of the top three beauties of the Kunyun Realm.

However, only two people from the Kunyun Realm were present, and five from the Chi Hong Realm. The remaining three were from the Sky Wolf Realm, so surrounding them, people from Kunyun and Sky Wolf Realm stood closer together because the power of the Chi Hong Realm’s presence was too strong.

“We’ve already sent out the message; we believe many more people will come rushing here soon!”

A Sky Wolf Realm Inner Sect Disciple said with a smile.

Here, only the Sky Wolf Realm didn’t have a Half-step Sky Sea individual, so their three became the runners.

“It won’t be long before more and more people arrive here, and then we can storm into Sky-reaching Sect!”

Ning Man Yao’s calm tone carried a hint of expectation.

“Is this Sky-reaching Sect really the residence of that Alchemy Master? Why are there so many ‘Evil Corpses’ inside?”

A short-haired man approached Ning Man Yao and asked. This person was Deng Kuan.

They had just arrived and climbed over Tongtian Mountain, but were repelled by the Evil Corpses inside.

The dangers within were numerous, and even those at Half-step Sky Sea, if not careful, could potentially fall.

“This Sky-reaching Peak has astonishing spiritual energy, the most concentrated Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within tens of thousands of miles around, probably there’s no place in the entire Blood Star Realm that compares to here. This must be that Alchemy Master’s residence!”

“As for the Evil Corpses, maybe that Alchemy Master could concoct the rumored Corpse Pill, once consumed, one would turn into a controlled zombie to defend this place!”

Two of the five people from Chi Hong Realm argued loudly.

They believed this location held treasured items because firstly, the place had dense energy, higher than Holy Heart Lake, nearly reaching the level of Kunyun Sacred Land.

Secondly, the greater the crisis in an area, the more likely there was to be hidden treasure.

Just then, a figure flew from afar, and three from Sky Wolf Realm immediately went to greet him, the newcomer was a member of the Sky Wolf realm.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu was still on his way.

The Blood Star Realm was not an ordinary small realm, its land vast.

Chen Yu estimated, given the concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here, it was bound to give rise to Sky Sea Realm powerhouses.

But having been here so long, he hadn’t spotted a native, so he was not too concerned about this.

However, he did encounter many fierce Demon Beasts, and these beasts were extremely ferocious, attacking wildly whenever they sensed human presence.

Chen Yu’s cultivation had improved rapidly recently, his foundation unstable.

Thus, he simply used these Demon Beasts to temper himself, consolidate his cultivation base, and he gained quite a lot along the way.

Roar!

A thunderous roar erupted, and from the foggy marshes in the distance, a giant shadow crawled out.

It was a ferocious giant crocodile covered in black scales, its scales flickering with black lightning, making the surrounding land scorched black.

“A Half-step Sky Sea Realm Demon Beast!”

Chen Yu’s eyelids twitched, the aura from the beast making him feel an intense threat.

Swoosh!

Without a second thought, he turned and ran, bursting forth with maximum speed.

The black lightning crocodile roared and leaped into the sky, pursuing him.

However, the crocodile’s speed in the air was not fast, perhaps due to its huge size. After a long chase, the distance between them grew further.

Just then, others nearby surprised the vicious giant crocodile, which immediately shifted its target and attacked another person.

“Damn, a Half-step Sky Sea level Demon Beast.”

The man in white cursed loudly and glared fiercely at Chen Yu before turning to flee.

“Boy, how dare you harm me, don’t let me run into you again, or I won’t let you off.”

The man in white quickly disappeared from sight.

Chen Yu didn’t bother with him any further, as the man was clearly just unlucky–it served him right, and it was none of Chen Yu’s business.

After flying for a while, Chen Yu found a secluded spot, sat cross-legged, and started to recover his True Yuan.

Although cultivators in the Guiyuan Realm could fly, it consumed a great deal of True Yuan, so they often needed to rest and replenish.

Chen Yu circulated the “Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record” to consolidate his cultivation strength.

“If the treasure really is in the Sky-reaching Sect, then my current strength is not enough!”

Chen Yu sighed.

A moment later, he gritted his teeth, took out a wine cup filled with Sixth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid.

Sky Sea Holy Liquid was a tool of alchemists, taking this Holy Liquid to increase cultivation had very slight side effects.

Sixth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid greatly benefited those in the late stages of Guiyuan Realm and also had a significant effect on those at the peak of Late Sky Sea Realm.

Chen Yu did not drink it in one go but took only a small sip and then began to absorb and refine it to improve his cultivation.

A day later, Chen Yu had completely absorbed the strength of that sip of Sky Sea Holy Liquid, and his True Yuan had fully recovered.

Swoosh!

He soared into the sky, once again continuing on his journey.

Along the way, this was his routine for a month, by which point only half of the cup of Sky Sea Holy Liquid remained.

Half a cup of Sixth Grade Sky Sea Holy Liquid saved Chen Yu five years of arduous cultivation, bringing him a step closer to the Late Guiyuan Realm.

At this time, Chen Yu felt the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi became denser, and he saw other cultivators from the Three Realms more frequently.

“It seems I am very close to the Sky-reaching Sect now!”

Chen Yu murmured.

The next day, Chen Yu saw a towering mountain peak.

That peak, like a massive pillar, rose steeply into the clouds.

Around this area, more than forty people had already gathered, among them five with the aura of Half-step Sea Level!

“Chen Yu!”

An elated female voice rang out, the tone filled with joy.

As Chen Yu turned around, he saw Yun Fei’er along with Chu Yu, Jiang Chen, and others from the Medicine King Valley.

“Where had you gone during the Medicine King Valley event? Why did you suddenly disappear?”

Yun Fei’er asked with concern.

At that time, the Red Fire Worm appeared, causing great turmoil, and the scene was chaotic; she even thought Chen Yu had been killed.

However, upon reflection, she knew Chen Yu’s strength was not weak; if he pulled out all the stops and gave his all, he could match a top-tier Golden Emblem Holy Guard.

“He must have been scared off!”

A handsome young man in the group, seeing Yun Fei’er’s warmth towards Chen Yu, scoffed dismissively.

“Sorry, I had to leave abruptly due to some matters!”

Chen Yu said with a smile.

Indeed, he had left suddenly without saying goodbye because the Red Flame King had ingested the “Molten Gold Flame” and he had to leave hastily.

“It’s good that you’re alright!”

Yun Fei’er showed a gentle and charming smile, causing many nearby men to look as if they had lost their souls.

From a distance, Deng Kuan saw Chen Yu, and his mood inexplicably soured, his heart filled with irritability.

Perhaps it was because a Silver Emblem Holy Guard he looked down upon could reach a level comparable to his own, Deng Kuan felt a strong sense of humiliation.

Or maybe it was because his multiple attempts to humiliate Chen Yu had all failed, feeling as if he had been slapped several times by Chen Yu instead.

Deng Kuan leaned over to whisper to a long-faced man meditating next to him, “Brother Shen, Yun Fei’er is here.”

Shen Han opened his eyes, looked at Yun Fei’er, and his expression subtly changed.

“Brother Shen, when I first came to the Blood Star Realm, I happened to see them two being very intimate and cuddling. I really don’t know what Yun Fei’er sees in this guy; perhaps this kid has used some scheme!”

Deng Kuan started to stir up trouble.

Originally, Shen Han was just a bit displeased, but after hearing this, his eyebrows knitted together, and his expression turned somewhat somber.

“Where does Brother Shen fall short compared to Chen Yu, Yun Fei’er is really blind!”

Deng Kuan said again.

“Shut up!”

Shen Han’s frown deepened, and he suddenly shouted!

After this, Deng Kuan dared not say anymore.

It wasn’t long before Chen Yu, through conversations with those around him, learned about some situations.

“Indeed, the Sky-reaching Sect is also fraught with crises, and there’s no solid evidence yet proving that this is the residence of that Alchemy Master.”

Chen Yu thought to himself.

Afterwards, he too decided to stay nearby.

It was too dangerous inside, and the Half-step Sky Sea experts gathered here were not in a hurry to make a move, so why should Chen Yu rush?

He found a fairly hidden spot and released the Red Flame King.

During this month, the Red Flame King had not been idle inside the pet bag; his “Molten Gold Flame” had completely absorbed the nutrients, including the Flame Light Grass, and its quality had improved significantly.

Though not incredibly powerful, it proved to be useful.

“Kid, is there more, give me more nutrients.”

The Red Flame King asked unceremoniously.

Thinking of the perils on Sky-reaching Peak, and still needing the power of the Red Flame King, Chen Yu went over to Yun Fei’er and exchanged some rare materials with her.

Another five days passed, and nearly seventy people had gathered at the site, including six at Half-step Sky Sea level!

Suddenly.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Three figures flew out and charged up the Sky-reaching Peak.

These three were all at Half-step Sky Sea Realm, including Ning Man Yao from Kunyun Sacred Land!

Following that, a few more figures started moving!

“It’s started!”

“Attack the Sky-reaching Sect!”
