Chapter 672: Chapter 632: Returning Fully Loaded

This level of rejuvenation for the Fire Cloud Sect is still within Shen Xuan’s capabilities.

There’s no need to wait until he forms a Nascent Soul.

When he breaks through to the Middle Stage of the Core Formation Realm and his Body Refining Technique advances to the Divine Power Realm, he can lend his aid.

If he wishes to restore the Fire Cloud Sect to its peak, with Tier Three Top Grade Spirit Vein, three Golden Cores, and over twenty Core Formation Realm cultivators,

it would be impossible without a few hundred years.

A few hundred years later, even Shen Xuan himself does not know where he will be.

"The second task, if you successfully refine your body, achieve the Divine Power Realm, and form a Nascent Soul. Help me kill that Demon-winged Roc."

This time, Shen Xuan contemplated even longer.

"Brother Primordial Fire, I can only kill that Demon-winged Roc under the condition that my strength permits and my own safety is guaranteed."

"As you have seen, this monster has extraordinary roots, with the bloodline of the Divine Bird Phoenix. It is feared to be a dominator in the Demon Realm, perhaps a Transformed Great Demon."

True Master Primordial Fire did not force him.

"Alright. Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, as you said, try to kill that Demon-winged Roc when your strength permits and your own safety allows."

"The third task is my private matter. After you take the Golden Core and Scarlet Cloud Primordial Fire, place me in the Spirit Casket, without burying it in the ground. Once the Fire Cloud Sect is rejuvenated, bury me in the new Fire Cloud Sect’s forbidden ancestral tomb."

"Alright."

In front of True Master Primordial Fire, Shen Xuan swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

If he breaks the oath and fails to help True Master Primordial Fire fulfill the three promises, Shen Xuan is willing to suffer the Celestial Dao Thunder Tribulation, have his Dao Foundation destroyed, and his Divine Soul obliterated.

It must be said, after Shen Xuan swore the Heavenly Dao oath, there seemed to be an invisible shackle falling upon him.

Although it was unseen and untouchable, he faintly felt something strange.

"Is this the binding of words with power and cause and effect?"

Shen Xuan felt solemn in his heart.

As his Realm Cultivation advances, the influence of Heaven and Earth Laws on him becomes greater and greater.

That is to say, his feeling towards the will of the Heavenly Dao becomes clearer and clearer.

The will of the Heavenly Dao is not fictional but exists in reality.

The limitation of the Profound Origin Continent’s Heaven and Earth Laws on the power of the Demon Race reflects the will of the Heavenly Dao.

"Very good."

True Master Primordial Fire was very pleased with Shen Xuan’s oath.

"Fellow Daoist Profound Ice, I’ll tell you a little secret. My Spirit Casket and burial clothes are prepared long ago."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan’s heart suddenly felt sour.

Moments later, True Master Primordial Fire changed into an ancient, tidy red burial dress, his complexion returning to ruddy serenity.

He lay himself into the Spirit Casket meticulously crafted from gentle purple crystal fire jade with a calm demeanor.

"Remember to cover my casket tightly."

True Master Fire Cloud said softly, like a reminder before departing on a journey.

Then, a red flame the size of a fist and resembling Liuyun was expelled from his mouth, exuding a majestic and scorching yang energy.

It was indeed the True Flame that accompanied him in battles throughout his life, refined for four hundred years.

Shen Xuan was well-prepared, he took out a jade box filled with Fire Spirit Stones, and cautiously stored and sealed it.

"I am so tired."

"Life is like a dream, and I am but a dreamer within."

True Master Primordial Fire let out a deep sigh, slowly closing his eyes.

Moments later, his aura was utterly severed.

Shen Xuan leaned forward to look, and saw True Master Primordial Fire with a serene countenance, has ascended to immortality.

Looking at True Master Primordial Fire lying in the Spirit Casket, a wave of sadness surged in Shen Xuan’s heart once again.

Such a cultivator at the Perfection stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Yet still unable to break free from the manipulation of the river of destiny.

"Brother Primordial Fire, rest assured, my conduct as Shen Xuan is upright and steadfast. As long as it can be done, I will deliver on my words."

Considering that the Fire Cloud Sect has already declined and the five sects of Yan Country might dispatch personnel to take over at any time, Shen Xuan dared not linger for long.

He silently operated a spell, and gestured towards the Dantian of True Master Primordial Fire.

A Golden Core containing pure Fire Spiritual Power slowly drifted out.

The temperature inside the Cave Mansion rose sharply, golden light shone brilliantly.

Shen Xuan quickly stored the Golden Core into the specially made jade box. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Then, he cast the spell of [Wishful Size] towards the purple crystal fire jade casket.

The Spirit Casket swiftly shrunk to about a foot in length.

Shen Xuan removed his outer robe, carefully wrapped it, respectfully took it up, and carried it on his back.

True Master Primordial Fire’s Storage Pouch, Primordial Fire Sword, and other items were also carefully put away.

Divine Sense swept across this broken Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, the once dense Spiritual Qi gradually drained, without other precious Spiritual Objects.

Obviously, in order to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, True Master Primordial Fire and the Fire Cloud Sect have exhausted all their accumulated resources.

"It’s time to leave."

Shen Xuan concealed his breath and walked out of the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land quietly.

Before leaving, he manifested his form in mid-air, solemnly bowed three times towards the direction of the Fire Cloud Sect’s forbidden ancestral tomb on the back mountain.

"To the honored forebears of the Fire Cloud Sect. I, Shen Xuan, today gratefully accept Brother Primordial Fire’s generous teaching, this sentiment and morality engraved in my heart. Someday I will repay with full strength, help your sect to rebuild its foundation, and prolong the continuity of the Dao!"

After speaking, Shen Xuan did not linger, turning around to transform into a streak of spiritual light, silently disappearing into the boundless sky.

...

Several days later, an unremarkable streak of spiritual light darted across the sky and quietly descended into the mist enveloping Starlight Island.

Shen Xuan restrained his escape light, set foot on the familiar green stone slabs of the quay, with a sea breeze carrying a hint of salty moisture blowing in his face.

Along with the fragrant aroma of Spirit Plants and the unique bustling atmosphere of Starlight Immortal City.

He left Starlight Island for just a few months.

Yet here was still as vibrant and bustling as ever.

The large Spirit Ship sailed slowly into the port, unloading various cultivation materials.

On both sides of the street, shops lined, the Spiritual Light of Talismans, Elixirs, and Magical Artifacts interweaving brightly.

Cultivators came and went, maintaining orderly conduct.

The entire Starlight Island was like a paradise isolated from worldly troubles, peaceful, thriving, and full of life.
