Chapter 138 What?
Right after that, the Elf Queen suddenly made a suggestion, "It's better that you don't show this to the outside world. You know, people's shock can still cause danger. You will be considered more threatening than the Mountain King."
"I know, only you guys will know," Ciel replied, not rejecting her suggestion.
"So, you guys can help me fuse with the Holy Moon Flame and the Holy Sun Flame, right?" he asked while looking at the Elf Queen and the Ice Goddess.
The latter glanced at the Elf Queen, as if she was signaling that she would do it.
"Let's go to a quiet place," said the Elf Queen.
She then enveloped Ciel's body with her spiritual energy before taking him away somewhere. Ciel could not see anything because it was too fast.
In a few seconds, they stopped and he finally saw the scenery around, a beach full of ice storms on it.
Countless blocks of ice were falling on the sea, creating wave after wave.
There was no one there, which was obvious because this was not a comfortable place to live even though it was still not as dangerous as the Pole of Hell.
When arriving there, Ciel couldn't help but glance at the Elf Queen strangely.
He thought this woman was really doing something that would smoothen his plans towards her.
Here, he could easily show the video where she spread the Death Worm in the Ice Goddess' room.
Of course, before that he would wait for the Elf Queen to help him first.
Actually, he felt a bit uncomfortable if he had to threaten someone after that person helped him.
However, this was still something he had to do for the safety of the Ice Goddess.
The Elf Queen might not have moved just now, but when she did, the Ice Goddess could very well meet her demise.
Ciel wondered what reason the Elf Queen had for doing all this.
"Hand them over!" The Queen suddenly extended her hand to Ciel.
Ciel responded by handing over two of the three sealing papers.
The Queen observed them first, showing an expression of admiration.
"If you rely solely on the Holy Spirit Flame, you won't be conspicuous enough compared to the main genius. You will still lose to Mu Yixue even if your cultivation is on par with hers," said the Elf Queen.
"However, with these two Flames, yeah, you might be able to claim invincibility unless you encounter a unique enemy."
Ciel listened to her words carefully. In the end, she was the Elf Queen, that had not changed even though she was now restrained by him. Her insight and knowledge were very high, listening to everything she said was certainly a good thing.
This at least allowed him to estimate his strength compared to the others.
"Of course, these two Flames are much stronger, the process hurts more, and it takes longer," the Queen added.
"I'm ready for all the consequences," Ciel replied.
"Okay!"
The Elf Queen moved her finger. A block of ice was drawn towards her and fell beside Ciel.
"Sit there, and take off your shirt," she said.
The process initially seemed to be the same as the last one except that this time it was more serious.
Ciel jumped onto the ice block, took off his shirt, which was immediately blown away by the wind into the distance.
Looking at his body, Ciel found that there was a slight difference. He looked a little more manly.
The Elf Queen was also looking at his body, but like last time, she didn't react.
However, her body suddenly emitted a majestic light, radiating far away until it reached the clouds, as if she wanted to make this area protected.
At the same time, she threw the two sealing papers in her hand at Ciel's body. One landed on Ciel's chest while the other landed on his back.
Each of them stuck tightly there.
"Mm!" Ciel who had just closed his eyes pressed his lips together as he suddenly felt a very strong sensation of heat throughout his body. Even as the owner of the Holy Spirit Flame, he still felt like screaming because it was indeed too hot.
However, she held it back firmly and closed her eyes very tightly.
Pain was something he would always endure no matter how much he suffered.
The Elf Queen's eyes scanned Ciel's face as purple and red flames poured into his body.
Despite his annoying nature, she had to admit that he was a young man with great determination, not just a lucky young man who had something that helped him obtain many things.
She had to admit that he belonged to a very rare breed even in this harsh world of cultivation.
With such advantages, she thought it was only natural that a young woman of Ciel's age would fall in love with him.
She even wondered what it would be like when he really grew up, like when he became a God, would he really be able to dominate other gods?
The Elf Queen's heart trembled when she thought of that.
At that point, she couldn't help but feel that supreme ladies like her and the Ice Goddess would also fall in love.
Not wanting her mind to continue to be distracted and mess up this process, the Elf Queen finally chose to close her eyes and sit cross-legged in the air.
She focused on helping Ciel.
Little did Ciel know that this process did not last a few hours or a few days. It turned out to take more than two months.
Ciel was barely conscious as the Elf Queen's power kept his mind fully immersed in cultivation.
He didn't even realize when the process was complete.
He only realized when he heard the Elf Queen's voice. "Open your eyes, it's done!"
Ciel opened his eyes, slightly astonished that there was no special explosion or indescribable divine phenomenon.
However, he quickly focused on his own body as he felt an incomparable power.
His hand moved forward, and three flames composed of transparent, purple, and red colors appeared above his palm, circling around like three butterflies surrounding a flower.
At first glance they seemed non-threatening, but if they were placed onto an iceberg, the mountain could become a volcano of fire, or if it was unlucky, it would become ashes.
Ciel also discovered the interconnectedness of the Holy Flames.
They had different strengths so there was a ranking among them. The weak ones were insignificant compared to the strong ones, but according to his estimation after observing using the Eyes of Heaven, he found that their original strength was actually the same, and could even share power with each other.
Currently, the Holy Sun Flame and the Holy Moon Flame gave strength to the Holy Spirit Flame so the latter's strength was almost no different from the two.
The reason why the strength of low-ranked Holy Flames was weaker was because their strength was divided into many cores, which ultimately made low-ranked Holy Flames weaker than high-level ones that had less division.
That was the reason why the stronger the Sacred Flame became, the fewer they were where the top five were even just one.
If you wanted to make a Holy Spirit Flame compete with the fourth-ranked Holy Flame for example, you would have to gather all the Holy Spirit Flames in the Seven Realms.
This could be something more difficult, but Ciel thought there must be a certain method when he became stronger.
After coming to a conclusion, Ciel stretched his body.
One thing he regretted was that his cultivation hadn't improved at all.
He was not sure why. It seemed that the two Flames were focused on raising the quality of his cultivation to a whole new level.
"Your strength is for yourself, there is no need to show it off," the Elf Queen said suddenly.
It seemed that she still wanted to advise Ciel against exposing himself too soon.
"Are you starting to worry about me now, Queen?" asked Ciel in response.
"Yes, unless you get rid of all those videos," the Elf Queen replied with sharp eyes.
Ciel laughed softly, thinking that she was rather cute when she was honest and upset.
"There is actually one other interesting video, I'm sure you'll be even more surprised, Queen," Ciel said.
"What?" The Elf Queen seemed to have a traumatic experience with this thing called a video. She staggered and almost fell, something strange when it happened to her considering her boundless power.
"Queen, isn't your reaction too much, don't worry, although this may threaten you, I won't use it to make you suffer, at most just to tease you and make you help me a little more," Ciel said, taking out a Jade Mirror and throwing it to the Elf Queen.
The woman picked it up spontaneously, but she seemed scared by it.
She did not dare to take a peek at the contents right away, her eyes staring at Ciel, trying to calm herself down.
Once calm, she asked, "what else have you recorded?"
Her voice was soft and low, like she also found it difficult to speak.
"Can't you see for yourself, Queen? Or do you want me to activate the jade for you?" Ciel replied with a faint smile.
