Mu Rong Qianji’s unexpected visit, and especially his final reminders caused Qin Wushuang to feel a tremendous increase in crisis. Clearly, Mu Rong Qianji’s final words had reminded them that someone had exposed their secrets. It was why he was able to find them easily and was certain of Qin Wushuang’s identity.
“Boss it seems that in the end, General Manager Su’s friend exposed us. I am afraid that those from the Primary Central sect will find this place soon.”
“Boss, should we retreat now?”
Qin Wushuang shook his head with determination: “Retreat now? No, we will stay here and not go anywhere.”
“Then let’s change our outfits.” Bao Bao suggested, “Or else, me and Third should restore our true self. It would save us the time from changing constantly. The three of us will attract attention from other people easily.”
The Purple Flame Electric Beast did not have any objections.
“Do as you wish. In the end, this Crest Mountain is extremely suitable for training. I have a prediction that I will achieve a breakthrough at this mountain.”
Both Bao Bao and Lone nodded at the same time. Of course, they were not people that had been afraid of matters. Hearing Qin Wushuang’s words, their blood also surged: “Ok, Boss, we will stay here with you, until you breakthrough.”
“However, I feel that we should go deeper. Since this Crest Mountain is extremely steep, we should go deeper. Perhaps, this mountain will have other fortuitous opportunities?”
Lone said while indulging a wild fantasy.
Just as Bao Bao was about to argue against it, he didn’t expect Qin Wushuang to say with a smile: “I have the same intention, let’s go deeper. You see, from afar, that mountain seemed to be always wrapped in a layer of red clouds. It seems that is the entrance of Crest volcanoes. It is named the Wild Flame Cliff.”
“Wild Flame Cliff? This is surely a flashy name. However, it seems that mountain will erupt at any moment. It is truly a giant furnace. Boss, we shouldn’t go there, right?”
“Go, let’s go there!” Lone appeared extremely excited as he rolled up his sleeves and rushed over to take the lead, “Third, could it be that you don’t have the guts to follow me?”
Of course, Bao Bao would not concede after being provoked by Lone: “Let’s see who doesn’t have the guts.”
Seeing these two competitive guys quarrel over such tiny matter, Qin Wushuang also gave a bitter smile and dashed towards that direction.
There was a reason why no sect had settled down at this Crest Mountain. With Qin Wushuang and his friends’ strength, the closer they arrived to that Wild Flame Cliff, they more difficult it felt to approach. The skin on their entire body felt waves of surging heat, as if it was burning their skin.
“Oh my god, this temperature is truly like a stove.” Bao Bao cried out.
However, Lone was overjoyed: “This temperature is just right, I like it.”
Lone specialized in using fire and was sensitive to the fire attribute. To him, this minor heat was not at all surprising.
As the proverbs say, a mountain could make a horse run to its death.
For Qin Wushuang and his friends who were fast at travelling, they also walked a long time as they approached that mountain. Along this way, strangely, Qin Wushuang did not speak a word as he only concentrated on travelling. If one did not see his footsteps moving forward, his expression appeared like a statue deep in thought.
Suddenly, Qin Wushuang’s eyes moved as he felt a wave of blazing heat ignited madly in his entire body. Especially in the Dantian in his lower abdomen, he felt as if a ball of fire was burning.
Slowly, all the genuine Qi in his body started to stir as if a tornado was rotating at high speed in his Dantian.
Encountering such situation, Qin Wushuang realized something instantly.
“Second, Third, defend me!” Qin Wushuang gave a low growl and shook out his long spear. In fact, he had started to employ the spear moves.
For the Hegemon Breaking Formation Spear, Qin Wushuang had once created three moves for the spear. To put it precisely, it was two and half moves.
The Awakening Move was the beginning move. This spear move started off from one’s original intention while it’s exquisite part lay with the mind, and changes. Without warning, he launched this move, like a sudden clap of thunder.
The Congregate Nucleus Move had ascended to the quintessence portion. Now, when Qin Wushuang performed it, of course a torrent of flames soared to the sky. At this moment, the element he was the most sensitive to was the fire attribute. Near this Wild Flame Cliff, nothing among the natural elements was more active than the fire attribute.
For this move, naturally Qin Wushuang had drawn on local resources to use methods in line with local circumstances. As he slashed with the spear, the magnificent flame manifested by the spear danced and roared through the skies. That scene appeared like a long fire dragon wreaking havoc in the sky and tinging half the horizon red, almost as if it were setting it on fire.
Next, Qin Wushuang guided the spear and suddenly, that flame ignited by the spearhead grew again. The richness of the fire had turned into a blazing red, from the initial faint red color.
The soaring flame seemed like a tens of thousand fire crows gathering together to drag down the sun. Wherever the spear went, it formed a giant fireball. Outside the fireball, alluring flame scuttled and swayed randomly in the sky as if it could cause mayhem at any time.
This move was indeed, the variation of the Congregate Nucleus Move, the third move—Profound Abstruse Move!
This was Qin Wushuang’s unfinished creation from the Monkey King Mountain. At this moment, under the advantageous situation, his creativity had been greatly sparked as ideas poured out, that helped him play out this move all at once.
Perfection!
From the variation of the previous move to the creation of this move, it could be described as “Perfection.” Qin Wushuang carried that giant flaming fireball with the tip of the spear, awaiting his command. As soon as he shook out the spear, he could initiate this profound fire attribute that contained extremely high temperature. Once he launched this attack onto a certain target, this giant fireball would explode everywhere and cause a deadly detonation.
The instant when this Profound Abstruse Move had congealed, the genuine Qi inside Qin Wushuang’s Dantian gradually stopped its previously rapid rotation.
At this moment, Qin Wushuang only felt that inside his Dantian, a fervent air mass scuttled like a little mouse.
This fervent air mass appeared to be like an egg ovum that was nurturing a newborn.
“Void Martial Stage!” Instantly, these three words flashed across Qin Wushuang’s mind. He was brimming with happiness at these three words.
Finally, after a long wait, through a long process, the door of the Refined Void Martial Stage had opened. Qin Wushuang knew that ball of burning air mass was his “Primordial Spirit” belonging only to him.
Although this Primordial Spirit had yet merged with his spiritual perception, it was clear that this Primordial Spirit had already started working. It had started to get familiar with his body and was searching for a way to merge with the spiritual perception.
The Void Martial Stage would allow one to refine one’s true self, transform shapes and manifest a Primordial Spirit. In fact, this Primordial Spirit was not an individual life, but an abstract Primordial Spirit. It was only the embryonic form of the deity.
When he entered the Divine Dao, this Primordial Spirit would possess true life and become a divine spirit power. At this moment, the Primordial Spirit was only in its embryonic form. It was still only a seed that required refinement to become the divine spirit.
However, despite this fact, to Qin Wushuang, the Void Martial Stage was also an unprecedented experience. It was a height unimaginable in his previous life.
And Qin Wushuang had not realized the violent changes to the surrounding area as he was immersed in his extreme delight. He did not feel the withered vegetation, the quaking earth, and shaking mountain in his surroundings.
“Boss, you succeeded?” Bao Bao was the first one to jump over.
“Congratulation Boss, Refined Void Martial Stage. Ha ha, now the three of us are all at the Refined Void Martial Stage!” Lone also laughed proudly.
Bao Bao looked around the area: “The most fantastic part is that with this Wild Flame Cliff as the training place, those signs shown by Boss’s breakthrough afterwards were completely masked by the dashing flame from the cliff. Boss, I must say that I am impressed by you. Did you think of this problem back then?”
Qin Wushuang smiled lightly and nodded: “Yes, initially during yours and Second’s breakthrough, there were huge movements. And this Crest Mountain is the most appropriate place of all. It would let me break through and the outside world would not see any reactions.”
Qin Wushuang withdrew the Hegemon Breaking Formation Spear and looked over at that mountain peak. He saw that in the back of the tip of the mountain, flame still shot to the sky.
“The Wild Flame Cliff should be behind this mountain?” Qin Wushuang gave a gratified sigh, “Are you guys interested in taking a look?”
Of course, this was exactly what Lone sought. Bao Bao had gradually gotten used to this deadly temperature after some acclimation. They followed Qin Wushuang to climb the mountain slowly.
This mountain was extremely sheer. Fortunately, it was not too lush and the road was not too difficult to walk. Because of the ever-constant heat, normal plants could not survive here. The plants that had survived here were extremely tolerable to the high temperature. These plants usually did not have any branch or leaf.
“Third, don’t you think that Wild Flame Cliff is the best place for you to practice the “Pupil Attachment Technique”? Where else can you find those light sources that would light up for twenty-four hours a day?”
From Qin Wushuang’s reminder, Bao Bao had instantly realized the light as he said joyfully: “That’s right, Boss, you are the smart one. Could it be that you also want to practice this “Pupil Attachment Technique?”
“For now I don’t have the time to practice the “Pupil Attachment Technique.” you two can use this opportunity to practice it.”
There were many things awaiting Qin Wushuang’s attention. For now, the “Pupil Attachment Technique” would not be one of the priorities.
Since he had just entered the Refined Void Martial Stage, he needed to consolidate his new level, become familiar with the changes it brought to him, and refine his current skill.
Most importantly, he had to consolidate the problem between his bond with the Graceful Spiritual Bow. The feeling of defeat before Mu Rong Qianji made Qin Wushuang realize that it would not be enough to just have a powerful weapon. He had to practice with this weapon to its limit.
After he had entered the Refined Void Martial Stage, naturally Qin Wushuang’s strength had increased tremendously. Naturally, he needed to put in a lot of effort to become one with the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
At the current stage, the Hegemon Breaking Formation Spear trained his raw combat abilities. Whereas the Graceful Spiritual Bow was used in long distance attacks, the power that would determine the limit of Qin Wushuang’s combat strength.
Thus, the development of the Graceful Spiritual Bow’s power was the most crucial part at this moment!
Besides the Graceful Spiritual Bow, Qin Wushuang still remembered that initially, the Silver Monkey King had presented him a gift at the Monkey King Mountain—Ying Yang Purple Cloud Fruit.
This miraculous fruit would let him refine the Ying Yang Purple Cloud Wings at the Refined Void Martial stage! It would allow him to have the ability to fly, whereas the ability was only otherwise available to those at the Transformation Void Martial Stage!
