Yun Xi floated out from within Gu Xuan's body, and said indifferently: "I've been awake since the moment you started refining the pellet. Tell me, what secret did you hide from me, I don't believe that an ordinary youth would be able to make your Grade Four Alchemist willingly make you its master."
Yun Xi had always been filled with curiosity toward Gu Xuan. Being able to refine pills, the Soul Power far exceeded that of an ordinary person.
"I once acquired the memories of an ancient major power." After pondering for a moment, Gu Xuan slowly said.
"An ancient major power?" Yun Xi's voice had some doubt.
"It's the memories of an ancient major power from the Monarch Stage. And along with this memories, you appeared within my body for some inexplicable reason, and became my Source Flame." Gu Xuan slowly said.
"Is that so …" Yun Xi muttered to herself, obviously skeptical of Gu Xuan's words. After all, getting the memories of an ancient almighty being was really too inconceivable, but this explanation could also explain why Gu Xuan could take a Grade Four Alchemist as a follower.
An ordinary person would be able to soar into the heavens even if they obtained the Emperor's cultivation method. If Gu Xuan obtained the complete inheritance of the Emperor, then it would be reasonable for him to be able to do such a shocking thing.
Realizing that Yun Xi seemed to already believe him, Gu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Although the things that he had made up were still outrageous, they were still comparable to the shocking degree of his rebirth. Since he could be reborn, then obtaining the Emperor's memories shouldn't be much of a problem.
"Looks like I have to try my best to hide it from now on." Gu Xuan secretly said in his heart.
The Monarch Stage Martial Cultivator's ability to sense the cause and effect was indeed a little terrifying. Sometimes, as long as there were two related people, one would be able to tell them with a single concerned sentence. If they received help, then they would naturally be overjoyed.
In actuality, this was also a viable method for Gu Xuan to continue to level up. Someone who was familiar with him from before would sense the cause and effect and then come to find him.
However, this was too risky. It was a gamble. If they won, then it was fine. But if they lost, they would be reduced to ashes.
A hundred years was simply too long, and anything could happen, so Gu Xuan was unwilling to take the risk.
"Right." Gu Xuan suddenly thought of something, looked at Yun Xi, and asked: "Have you heard about the incident with the Highest Flame?"
"Highest Flame?" Yun Xi's voice became somewhat thoughtful, "I seem to have heard it before … It also seems like, where did you hear about this? "
"From second place on the Skyfire Ranking, from the mouth of the Evil Spirit True Fire." Gu Xuan exhaled and said, "It said that only Sky Fire Earth Fire could fuse with it, and that it had to sacrifice it."
"Evil Spirit True Fire... I seem to have heard of the existence of these flames. " Yun Xi fell into deep thought, "We, the Heavenly Flame Earth Fire, have been nurtured in different places and we have not met the majority of them. However, because it is an innate creation, we can vaguely sense something, but there are more flames and less flames."
"Looks like the Evil Spirit True Fire have sensed a lot." Gu Xuan nodded his head, "The Evil Spirit True Fire told me that it wanted to be swallowed by you, and through offering sacrifices, it allowed you to evolve into a Highest Flame. However, I am not sure if what it said was true or false, in terms of strength, you are still lacking compared to it.
"It's right. It's not lying to you."
Gu Xuan said suddenly in his confusion.
"Oh? Do you know anything about it? " Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised.
"No." Yun Xi denied it, "From the very beginning, I had been at the Ice and Snow Source, and only knew that I was a kind of Superior Heavenly Fire, ranked twenty-seventh, and had the ability to cleanse. But I never knew of anything else, but I don't know why you said it, and I have no doubts about it."
"Is that so …"
Gu Xuan touched his chin. Since he was sure, then it meant that the Evil Spirit True Fire was not lying.
Since that was the case, he had to fight for it.
Right now, the first thing he had to do was to attain Sovereign Level. If he did not, he would not be able to bear such a terrifying Highest Flame.
Also, the cultivation of the Profound Level Martial Cultivator was only in the form of a student, it could only be considered to be filtering, and the strength in raising it was also very limited. Gu Xuan did not think that anyone could get a million Treasure Point from the Profound Level.
This opportunity to tame Evil Spirit True Fire was definitely given to students with Sovereign Level. This kind of existence was worth nurturing.
Furthermore, when Gu Xuan stepped into the Sovereign Level, the laws of heaven and earth descended and helped him raise his fire origin laws. Although it was not possible to raise his Earth Rank, Yun Xi's strength would still soar because of it.
"Now, cultivate to the Sovereign Level with all your might." Gu Xuan sighed in his heart, took out the remaining Ghost Spirit Pill and said: "Yun Xi, your source is now much stronger than before. It shouldn't be a problem to purify the Grade Four Pills, right?"
"No problem." Yun Xi casually agreed.
Halfway up the mountain, Senior Sister Su was sitting in a room and waiting quietly.
Today, she had arranged for the fifth ranked student of the Mountain And River List to look for information on Gu Xuan, so it was about time for him to reply.
Although Gu Xuan's realm was low, and was looked down upon by the Senior Sister Su, Yueer seemed to have quite a deep relationship with him, so it was worth for her to investigate. However, Gu Xuan's presence was rather weak, so she only recalled it today.
"This Gu Xuan actually dared to challenge Martial Cultivator, who is ranked among the top thirty, is he overestimating himself?" Senior Sister Su laughed and shook her head, "Among the top thirty, Mountain And River List s, which one isn't an expert, and the worst are the experts in Nine Stars Profound Level. Most of them are in Peak Profound Level, yet one Five Stars Profound Level actually challenges them."
"I never thought that Yueer would actually be cheated so easily, and even defended Gu Xuan. When the results come out, I reckon that Yueer will give up."
"Senior Sister!"
Not long after, a thin figure who was as thin as a bamboo pole appeared in the room and bowed towards Senior Sister Su.
"How is it?" Senior Sister Su glanced at that person. That person was also a Elite Student of Heavenly Academy, his name was Lin He, and he was ranked fifth, so he had always been attached to her.
"The investigation is done, Gu Xuan had just finished today's challenge." Lin He said respectfully, there was not the slightest emotion in his voice. "Twenty odd days ago, Gu Xuan used his Five Stars Profound Level and defeated five people from the top thirty of the Mountain And River List s. He was ranked twenty-sixth."
"What!"
Senior Sister Su was shocked and immediately stood up from her seat.
Defeating five of the Mountain And River List s, ranked twenty-six? How was it possible for a person with Five Stars Profound Level to do such a thing?
"A four star challenge is something that a person with the ability to challenge someone stronger than them would also be able to do. The difference between Nine Stars Profound Level and other Peak Profound Level is not considered small." The Senior Sister Su calmed down immediately. Although it was rare to see a five star challenger, there was still a portion of people who could do it.
"After that, Gu Xuan broke through to the Six Stars Profound Level, and even defeated a Martial Cultivator." Lin He slowly said after seeing Senior Sister Su calm down.
"He even broke through?" Senior Sister Su frowned, then sneered: "Looks like this Gu Xuan is also someone with a heaven-defying Military Strength, defeating Peak Profound Level is pretty good."
"Senior Sister, when Gu Xuan defeated the Peak Profound Level, he only used his Five Stars Profound Level strength. The Six Stars Profound Level realm is something that he used afterwards, and this star's realm, was broken through in a month's time." Lin He slowly explained.
"What did you say?"
Senior Sister Su didn't really believe her ears. If it was Six Stars Profound Level defeating Peak Profound Level, she could barely accept it, but even so, as long as Gu Xuan's cultivation stalled, she wouldn't care.
But according to Lin He, Gu Xuan had actually defeated him with just the Five Stars Profound Level? Furthermore, he broke through within a month!
This was simply unbelievable.
"Lin He, after he's finished fighting with everyone else, bring him to me. I want to assess him myself." Senior Sister Su thought for a moment, then slowly said.
"Yes sir!" Lin He responded before slowly retreating.
The purified fourth stage Ancient Medicinal Pills had a high quality, the medicinal power was even fiercer than before. Gu Xuan had also broken through the Six Stars Profound Level realm, and it was just right.
Gu Xuan realized that his cultivation was indeed a bottomless pit, as if it could never be filled. Previously, he had estimated that one [Level 4] Ancient Medicinal Pills would be able to help him break through, but in reality, he had used six of them!
This kind of frightening difference made Gu Xuan feel extremely helpless. The amount of resources needed to break through each time, would be several times, or even ten times greater than what he had needed before.
It was hard to imagine how enormous of an amount of resources would be required for Gu Xuan to step into the King Level or into the Master Level. Even if he had recovered his ability to refine Seventh Grade pellets at that time, he still might not be able to handle it.
"Forget it, let's first cultivate to the Sovereign Level then talk. If we can get the Highest Flame, it will definitely be much easier to cultivate in the future." Gu Xuan thought in his heart.
In two days of time, with Yun Xi's help, Gu Xuan refined a set of Ghost Spirit Pill and stabilized his Six Stars Profound Level realm.
Although there wouldn't be any effect in refining it in the future, it would change as time goes by. Especially if his identity was exposed, Gu Xuan would also be extremely careful.
Gu Xuan stood up, stretched his joints a little, and walked out of the room, straight up to Ye Cang's 17th tower.
Today, let's sweep through everyone who has yet to be defeated!
