CHAPTER 195: CHAPTER 195 PURPLE SUN CELESTIAL FIRE

"Tang Family?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuanshan glanced around the flying ship, and sure enough, he spotted several members of the Tang Family among a D-level team.

This team was led by a loose cultivator at the peak of Qi Cultivation.

There were a total of six Tang Family members assigned to the team.

Among them, both Lu Yuanshan and Lu Ping recognized one person.

Tang Zhixian.

Seeing Tang Zhixian here, Lu Ping merely glanced at him casually and didn’t pay further attention. However, Lu Yuanshan would occasionally glance over in that direction after spotting Tang Zhixian.

Lu Yuanshan’s frequent glances quickly drew Tang Zhixian’s attention.

Upon seeing Lu Yuanshan and realizing that his team was a C-level team, Tang Zhixian was stunned for quite a while.

Tang Zhixian was well aware of the strength required to enter a C-level team.

At the moment, even though he couldn’t specifically detect Lu Yuanshan’s realm due to his Qi Cultivation, he knew it was at least First-Layer Foundation Establishment.

The former Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation Sect Master of the Cyan Mountain Sect, had actually succeeded in Foundation Establishment so quickly after just a few years...

The Cyan Mountain Sect seemed to have an even greater tendency to rise after he left.

Just like last time in Pingyuan County during the locust plague resistance, he had witnessed with his own eyes that the equipment in Song Minghui and others’ hands were all Tier One Top-Grade Cyan Bamboo Swords, far superior to that of the same tier cultivators from the Tang Family.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhixian felt a mix of emotions, and after exchanging a glance with Lu Yuanshan, he snorted and turned his head away.

"That kid..."

Seeing Tang Zhixian’s reaction, Lu Yuanshan chuckled bitterly and no longer paid him any mind.

He casually chatted with Lu Ping, discussing the upcoming battle plan on how to quickly take down enemies and obtain the demon beads.

The father and son chatted lightly.

As the flying ship entered the Sea of Chaos and descended into the outer sea region, the figures of numerous Outer Realm Demons were clearly revealed, densely packed like ants.

Beyond the outer sea, which was part of the Sea of Chaos’s periphery, a massive barrier array had already been set up, encompassing the entire Sea of Chaos, the Celestial Fire Forbidden Area, and the Lost Vortex, forming a small, independent world.

This Cage Array had reached Tier Five, and its purpose was to act like a cage, confining the many Outer Realm Demons within the combat area, preventing them from leaving the Sea of Chaos.

"Below you is the outer sea region of the Sea of Chaos, where Yanzhou Island is located. Your current task is to clear Tier One and Tier Two Evil Demons on Yanzhou Island."

"You D-level teams don’t need to worry about the Tier Two Evil Demons, as you have likely noticed the presence of three C-level teams accompanying you."

"These three C-level teams, composed of Foundation Establishment and Crystallization Cultivators, will assist you in clearing the Tier Two Evil Demons."

"Your task as D-level teams remains to eliminate the Tier One Evil Demons."

The speaker was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Celestial Fire Palace named Zhan Xinghuo.

He was roughly the same age as Lu Yuanshan, currently piloting the flying ship, hovering above the Cage Array.

"I once again solemnly remind everyone, once on the battlefield, refrain from internal conflict and any actions harming fellow cultivators."

"The Celestial Fire Palace doesn’t care about the grudges you had outside or any disputes you might have had recently, but as long as you’re assisting the Celestial Fire Palace in resisting the Outer Realm Demons, I hope you can set aside your grievances temporarily and work together to achieve an early victory."

Saying this, Zhan Xinghuo turned his gaze towards the three C-level teams, looking at Han Yunsheng and the other two Crystallization Stage leaders one by one.

"Seniors, thank you for your efforts in clearing the Tier Two Evil Demons this time."

Zhan Xinghuo’s tone was very respectful.

"It’s a small matter."

Han Yunsheng nodded with a smile. "Zhan Xiaoyou, if you have the time, please give my regards to your master."

"Certainly."

Zhan Xinghuo nodded heavily.

His master was a late-stage Golden Core Elder from the Celestial Fire Palace who had been in secluded cultivation for three years, attempting to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, and had not yet emerged. He was an old friend of Han Yunsheng.

The relationship between the Luoyun Sect and Celestial Fire Palace had always been strong, much better than with the Five Elements Sword Sect and Chaotic Star Island.

The other two merely nodded slightly and did not speak, both of them loose cultivators originating from the Qingli Sea.

With nothing more to add, Zhan Xinghuo refrained from further words. He took out an array spiritual artifact, descended from the flying ship after activating it, contacting the top of the Cage Array, slowly opening a passage, and piloted the flying ship through the entrance into the interior of the Cage Array.

As soon as the ship entered, three Tier One Outer Realm Demons immediately rushed forward, attempting to escape from the Cage Array while the barrier was open.

Lu Yuanshan’s eyes narrowed, ready to act, and several other Foundation Establishment cultivators, including Han Yunsheng, also had the urge to make a move.

However, before they could act, a dazzling fiery light suddenly rose up.

Zhan Xinghuo, with a calm expression, was controlling a compass-shaped spiritual artifact, unleashing fierce Profound Fire that swept towards the three demons.

In the blink of an eye, the Profound Fire engulfed the three demons, reducing them to ashes amidst their screams and struggles.

"Purple Sun Celestial Fire."

Feeling the power of the flame, Lu Ping’s eyes lit up with interest as he looked at the compass-shaped spiritual artifact in Zhan Xinghuo’s hand.

In terms of methods that could restrain Outer Realm Demons, Purple Sun Celestial Fire could be considered second to none.

This Purple Sun Celestial Fire was the signature skill of the founding ancestor of the Celestial Fire Palace, the Ancient Great Divine Power User Celestial Fire True Monarch.

With his mastery of fire, he had managed to make a name for himself in the Qingli Sea dominated by the Ancient Demon Race, under the rule of the Qingli Demon Saint, earning the title of Celestial Fire True Monarch.

His reputation and status seemed to be on par with the Qingli Demon Saint, becoming the only human race cultivator capable of standing against the Qingli Demon Saint in the Qingli Sea at that time.

Even the Qingli Demon Saint was highly wary of the Purple Sun Celestial Fire.

Later, with the invasion of Outer Realm Demons causing havoc in the Qingli Sea, plunging it into decades of turmoil, it was during this time that Celestial Fire True Monarch stepped forward, sealing the Two Realms Gate with his own life, and restrained the invading Outer Realm Demons.

The Purple Sun Celestial Fire inherited by the Celestial Fire Palace was the legacy of Celestial Fire True Monarch.

However, due to the demanding requirements for cultivating this fire attribute divine technique, currently in the Celestial Fire Palace, only the two main and deputy palace masters could master about seventy to eighty percent of its power.

Another person, Zhan Xinghuo’s master, had mastered half of the Purple Sun Celestial Fire.

This compass-shaped spiritual artifact was refined by his master and entrusted to Zhan Xinghuo.

"If only the Cyan Mountain Sect had a divine technique like the Purple Sun Celestial Fire. Changfeng, who has a fire attribute spirit root, would certainly be very happy to have such a fire attribute divine technique inheritance."

Lu Yuanshan also noticed the Purple Sun Celestial Fire displayed by Zhan Xinghuo, and his eyes were full of envy, causing him to sigh and have some expectations for the future development of the Cyan Mountain Sect.
