Chapter 306 - 283: The Divine Soul’s Sharpness?

Chapter 306: Chapter 283: The Divine Soul’s Sharpness?

The sea of fire churned, and lava spewed forth.

Countless Qi Cultivation Realm Cultivators struggled within the sea of fire.

High in the sky, the Longevity Sect’s Flying Boats continued to wantonly pour firepower down into the sea of fire.

To Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators, these attacks might have been insignificant. But for the Qi Cultivation Realm Cultivators, now without the protection of an Array Prohibition, it was a terrifying nightmare.

Severed limbs flew through the air. Gore flashed amidst the fiery light, only to be quickly incinerated by the flames, leaving behind nothing but wisps of ash.

It was a scene straight out of a mortal purgatory.

From the Flying Boats, several Longevity Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivators flashed out of sight, plunging into the sea of lava to pursue Chu Mu and the other fleeing Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Aboard one of the Flying Boats, a few other Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood clustered around a man with a sword on his back, looking down upon the sea of fire.

"True Inheritor, according to the sect’s intelligence, our most wanted criminal should be in this camp."

"A moment ago, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator concealed his Divine Soul Aura. It must be Chu Mu."

"Chu Mu..."

The man with the sword on his back raised an eyebrow, a flicker of interest in his eyes. "I’ve heard this man’s talent for Artifact Refining is exceptionally high. He’s only at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment Cultivation, yet he’s already a Tier Two Upper Grade Artifact Refining Master?"

"Correct."

The man beside him replied, "His talent for Artifact Refining is indeed extremely rare. His Artifact Refining Skill is sublime, and he is also proficient in the Puppetry Skill. His Combat Power cannot be underestimated."

"Zhao Hong truly deserved to die!"

The man with the sword mused for a moment before speaking in a very serious tone.

Hearing this, the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators at his side were clearly uncomfortable, but they dared not say a word.

"Alright, you all continue with your mission. I will go and meet this Artifact Refining genius."

The man with the sword had a cold expression. As his voice fell, a sound like the ringing of a sword was heard, and he vanished from the Flying Boat.

The few remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators exchanged glances, but in the end, they said nothing and went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, within the churning sea of lava, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Righteous Alliance had long since parted ways, each using their own Divine Techniques to escape.

Chu Mu plunged into the sea of fire, moving swiftly through the lava.

The Great Sun True Flame coiled around his body. Under the protection of his True Flame, the lava and Earth Fire posed no threat to him. He felt like a fish in water, an indescribable sense of ease washing over him!

’Perhaps finding a place rich in Fire Qi to continue my Cultivation wouldn’t be a bad idea.’

Chu Mu thought to himself as he savored the pleasant feeling.

BOOM!

Just then, a tremor and a faint roar echoed from within the sea of fire, causing the lava to surge.

Chu Mu turned to look and saw a figure darting toward him through the roiling lava, a Flying Sword in hot pursuit. The blade’s edge was chillingly sharp, its invisible edge parting the lava as it relentlessly gave chase.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, help me!"

Seeing Chu Mu, the man’s expression turned from alarm to joy, and he immediately shouted out.

This was the same Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator from the strategy meeting in the camp.

Chu Mu frowned. His gaze shifted to what was behind the man. The cold glint of the sword, a streak of white, was incredibly conspicuous amidst the fiery red.

Clearly, this Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator was being hunted by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Longevity Sect and had stumbled upon him by accident.

"Fellow Daoist, this man’s Flying Sword technique is extremely formidable! It can directly attack one’s Divine Soul, and his Magical Power is corrosive. He’s terrifying, you can’t underestimate him."

Reaching Chu Mu’s side, the man used every trick he had to block a strike from the Flying Sword. His face was pale as he spoke in a panicked voice.

At this moment, the white-robed Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had been giving chase did not attack again. The Flying Sword hovered before him. He completely ignored the Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator, his gaze fixed directly on Chu Mu. "You’re Chu Mu?"

Chu Mu glanced at the still-panicked Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator beside him, at a loss for words.

But what the man said next was completely beyond Chu Mu’s expectations.

"Zhao Hong and his son deserved to die!"

"If you are willing to join my sect, Fellow Daoist, we can wipe the slate clean of all past grievances!"

"Join my sect, and I will recommend you to the Sect Leader to become a Longevity True Inheritor!"

At these words, the Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator’s face turned ashen. Chu Mu was clearly astonished. He wasn’t surprised by the offer to wipe the slate clean, but becoming a Longevity True Inheritor... that was no small matter!

The Longevity Sect was divided into Inner and Outer Sects. The Outer Sect was equivalent to the collateral branches of a Clan, basically responsible for all the dirty and tiring work.

As for Inner Sect Disciples, they were either Outer Disciples who had advanced to Foundation Establishment, or those with outstanding Spirit Root Talent or some other Extraordinary talent.

And even these were just ordinary Inner Sect Disciples.

A Longevity True Inheritor... from the very words "True Inheritor," it was easy to see how high their status was. It was the absolute pinnacle for both Inner and Outer Disciples of the Longevity Sect!

Every one of them was the best of the best. One could even say that the High Tier Cultivators of the Longevity Sect had almost all been True Disciples in their youth!

As far as he knew, the number of publicly known True Disciples in the Longevity Sect was less than ten.

Yet the man before him had offered to recommend him for the position of a True Inheritor. His identity...

Chu Mu asked, "Who are you?"

The man’s voice was calm. "A Longevity True Inheritor, Xu Changqing."

The moment he said this, the already panicked Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator seemed unable to suppress his fear any longer. He leaped up and fled, completely disregarding Chu Mu’s presence.

Chu Mu couldn’t help but be taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

’He begged me for help, only to get scared and run away himself?’

’Is the title of True Inheritor really that terrifying?’

Just then, a flash of sword light appeared. The Flying Sword hovering before Xu Changqing shot out with lightning speed, tearing through the sea of lava.

A single scream was heard, and the fleeing Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator was utterly annihilated.
