Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1811 - 1793: Ba Qing the Demon Immortal
The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger was not worried about its safety at all. When the boss said there was no issue, then surely there wasn’t. Even though it was clear that the process would be painful, what did some suffering matter if it meant breaking through to the Demon Venerable Realm!
However, it wasn’t until he actually followed Lin Feng’s instructions that he realized the true extent of the pain. Although he was a fire-type demon beast, he could not stay in the Heaven Furnace for long. The furnace’s flames were infinite and could never be fully absorbed, while his body was enduring a scorching heat comparable to that of his own dark flames, as if his skin were being roasted alive and then peeled off layer by layer!
His eyes were wide open, and a breath caught in his throat as he suppressed the urge to cry out in pain. Barely enduring the pain that felt like his skin was being roasted, he was tormented in the blazing flames...
The Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger did not notice that at this time his skin had already begun to char. However, just as his skin was about to turn into charcoal, a faint pink light began to repair his body. So, even in the blazing flames, the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger was unharmed, quietly accepting the burning of the Heaven Furnace.
"Incredible... It really is possible!"
Fang Gu stared at the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger deep within the furnace, astonished that it was unharmed. He had never imagined that what he was witnessing could be real. After all, the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger, no matter how formidable, still had a physical body. To actually endure within his Heaven Furnace was truly an eye-opener for Fang Gu, leaving him speechless concerning his junior brother. Such an unexpected method—perhaps no one else in the world could think of it, they wouldn’t even dare to imagine it.
"Senior brother, have you ever heard of ’Journey to the West’?" Lin Feng asked Fang Gu, becoming increasingly convinced that the events in ’Journey to the West’ might not be fictional. If he could achieve such things, why couldn’t others?
"Journey to the West? What is that?" Fang Gu was taken aback, having never heard of such a thing.
"It’s a book from the Secular World. In it, a monkey was refined in the Supreme Elder’s Eight Trigrams Furnace and gained Flame Eyes Golden Gaze..." Lin Feng explained, seeing that Fang Gu was unfamiliar with it.
Upon hearing this, Fang Gu was stunned by the revelation. He hadn’t expected there to be such interesting books, and he pondered whether he should acquire one to read.
After recounting the story, Lin Feng shifted topics and said, "Senior brother, do you think it’s possible that all the stories in ’Journey to the West’ really happened? For instance, the monkey might be a fire-attribute demon beast just like the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger, but people merely regard it as myth and legend."
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Fang Gu immediately adopted a serious expression, thoughtfully considering the possibility. In the past, he would have dismissed it without hesitation, but after witnessing today’s events, he found the idea completely plausible. If his junior brother could accomplish this, why couldn’t the great beings of the Ancient Era!
"Junior brother, don’t say it, I really think it’s possible! In the Ancient Era, there was a super demon beast known as the Blazing Flame Divine Ape, documented in ancient books. The books describe the Blazing Flame Divine Ape as fearless of any flame—perhaps it served as the prototype for ’Journey to the West’s Sun Wukong!"
After careful thought, Fang Gu offered his opinion. If not for today’s incidents, if not for Lin Feng’s recent words, he would never have connected the ancient texts about the Blazing Flame Divine Ape and Sun Wukong from ’Journey to the West’. But now, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed...
"If that’s the case, everything becomes interesting..."
Hearing his senior brother’s response, Lin Feng’s face turned reflective, with a faint and meaningful smile. He even began to suspect that the author of ’Journey to the West’ might have been a cultivator. Of course, this was merely conjecture. But if this hypothesis were true, then all those mythological stories circulating in the Secular World could have actual prototypes—they might have all happened!
With that thought, a sudden flash of inspiration filled Lin Feng’s mind, and he stood frozen, instantly entering a meditative state...
Fang Gu was about to converse with Lin Feng, but he suddenly noticed that Lin Feng had entered meditation, so he stopped immediately. He knew his junior brother was different from ordinary people, and such spontaneous meditation meant he was contemplating something important. He quietly exited the refining room, leaving this quiet place for Lin Feng, worried about disrupting Lin Feng’s meditation.
Only the gentle whispers of the flames within the Heaven Furnace echoed in the refining room, and myriad flames slowly infused into the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger’s body. Aside from that, there was silence, with the fiery glow illuminating the entire refining room...
......
Elsewhere, Fang Yan had already ventured deep into the Heaven Demon Forest. Without needing to pay attention to Qin Kun and Wu Shan, his pace had accelerated several times over. Under the immense control of his divine sense, he covered nearly two thousand miles in just one day!
On that day, he encountered many demon beasts, all of which were Demon Immortal Realm beasts, numbering several dozen. However, his divine sense was incredibly powerful. He could detect them from hundreds of miles away and then carefully bypass them, focused on searching for the hidden Spiritual Medicine in the forest.
Yet even so, he still encountered an unexpected situation!
After nightfall, while moving swiftly, a deep voice unexpectedly echoed from nearby.
"Interesting, a little tike not yet at the Human Immortal Realm has ventured here, and so quickly too. Little one, you’ve piqued my interest." As the voice fell, a middle-aged man, appearing around forty to fifty, clad entirely in green, suddenly floated before Fang Yan.
Seeing the other appear, Fang Yan had no choice but to halt. Glancing at the floating middle-aged man, he instantly sensed that this figure was not human but a shape-shifting demon beast, one that had reached the late stage of the Demon Immortal Realm!
What puzzled Fang Yan was how such a demon beast had evaded his divine sense detection. He was deeply baffled by this matter.
"I came here to look for some Spiritual Medicine. I’m sorry for any disturbance caused." Fang Yan said calmly, showing no sign of panic. Indeed, he had no reason to panic; although his opponent was a late Demon Immortal Realm beast, Fang Yan believed he could potentially kill it. If the beast intended to kill him, he would have no qualms about fighting back.
"Searching for Spiritual Medicine brought you here—that’s quite unexpected. It’s been years since I’ve seen a human. Can you tell me who you are?" The middle-aged man closely observed Fang Yan’s composed demeanor upon seeing him and showed a hint of admiration in his eyes as he asked. He was increasingly intrigued by this little one.
"My name is Fang Yan, a Disciple of the Heavenly Court from the Divine Sword Sect." Fang Yan looked at the middle-aged figure and replied directly, simultaneously pondering the meaning behind the other’s actions. Normally, demon beasts would attack upon seeing a human, yet this one did not, stirring Fang Yan’s curiosity.
"Call me Ba Qing. I named myself. A person like you in the Heavenly Court of the Divine Sword Sect is quite surprising to me. If I’m not mistaken, you’ve learned the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art, haven’t you?" Ba Qing asked with a smile, observing Fang Yan.
"How do you know about the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art?" Upon hearing Ba Qing’s question, Lin Feng frowned in surprise. It was unusual to hear a demon beast speak of the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art.
"I can’t recall how many years ago it was, but I once fought a man named Shi Kuohai and felt the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art. Now, I sense the same aura from you, which is what drew me out to meet you. Little one, are you Shi Kuohai’s student?" Ba Qing asked with a smile. These events were in the past, remembered today upon meeting Fang Yan. It was indeed feeling the aura of the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art that prompted his appearance.
"Shi Kuohai? You fought with Shi Kuohai?" Lin Feng was surprised to learn of this connection between Ba Qing and Shi Kuohai, never having imagined such interactions between Shi Kuohai and a demon beast.
"Yes, back then, Shi Kuohai wasn’t much older than you, but his skills far surpassed yours now. We fought for half a day with no victor, and ultimately decided to stop fighting. Instead, we shared many discussions. You might not believe it, but we could be considered friends—a beast and a human in friendship, which indeed defies common acceptance."
Saying this, Ba Qing displayed a knowing smile. Over the years, he had thought of visiting Shi Kuohai, but as a demon beast, he could not and had no way to approach the Divine Sword Sect. So time passed until today, upon sensing the aura of the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art on Fang Yan, he finally made his presence known.
"I never expected such a bond between you two, but it doesn’t surprise me. I know someone who is accompanied by two Demon Immortal Peak beings, without any contracts, who can’t be driven away." Fang Yan smiled, recalling the two Demon Immortals beside his main body. The friendship between humans and demon beasts can be genuine, and once established, it often proves far stronger than friendships between humans, so he was not surprised at all by Ba Qing’s ongoing thoughts of Shi Kuohai.
"I didn’t expect you to know such interesting people. Indeed, we demon beasts are like that; once we trust someone, even without any contract, we’d never betray them in this lifetime, surpassing human fidelity." Ba Qing nodded at this moment before asking, "Fang Yan, can you tell me how Shi Kuohai is doing now?"
