Nine Revolutions Star Transformation
Chapter 873 - 895: Li-Fire Crystal
Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng immediately used his Divine Sense to examine the environment ahead. With his powerful Divine Sense, he quickly discovered the anomaly. Indeed, there was a slight energy fluctuation more than a hundred meters to the right, just as Chu Tong had mentioned.
"Chu Qing and Chu Tong, let’s enter the Death Tower Land and see how formidable this so-called land of desperation really is." Chu Linfeng said.
Then, he led the two to a flash in front of the entrance. "Big brother, this is just an ordinary Illusion Realm Barrier meant to obscure the entrance’s location. Once you find the entrance, you can just walk right in." Chu Tong said.
Chu Linfeng nodded and walked straight in. As soon as he entered, he felt no difference from the outside. The ground was still covered with yellow sand, but the temperature inside was much higher, making it a bit hard to adapt.
Looking at Chu Qing and Chu Tong, Chu Linfeng said: "How do you feel? Perhaps you should return to the Storage Ring and come out once we’re past this harsh terrain."
"Heh, big brother, you underestimate me and Chu Tong. Even if you can’t handle it, we’ll be fine. Don’t forget, our defense power is stronger than yours. Take care of yourself!" Chu Qing laughed.
Chu Linfeng felt his face flush. He had indeed forgotten about this. When faced with powerful attacks, it was these two little guys who helped him resist. Saying this now seemed a bit embarrassing.
After walking a few steps in the yellow sand, Chu Linfeng found it nearly impossible to move. With each step, he sank to knee-level. This harsh place was vast, and neither the tower of the Death Tower Land nor its location was known. Flying across it would have been ideal.
He turned to look at the entrance and saw it had already completely changed. The energy fluctuations had vanished, and everything seemed identical, leaving him feeling isolated in the center.
"Lin Feng, this is a special area where flying isn’t allowed. Even Instant Teleportation isn’t possible. You’ll have to walk your way through, so enjoy yourself!" Sword Spirit said, sounding a bit schadenfreude.
"Really? I can’t fly? Isn’t this like the Land of the Dead? In the Land of the Dead, I could fly with the Illusion Stone, but here, without any monsters, what should I do?" Chu Linfeng said frustratedly.
Mentioning the Illusion Stone, he suddenly had an idea. Could the Illusion Stone work here? Both had yellow sand and couldn’t fly, maybe there’d be unexpected effects.
So Chu Linfeng took out all the illusion stones from his Storage Ring. After waiting a while with no reaction, he felt very displeased. "Damn it! It doesn’t work! So frustrating!"
"Heh, Lin Feng, you idiot, this is a real place, not an Illusion Realm, so the Illusion Stone naturally won’t work. You’re really funny. Just use your Shift Form and Shadow; this way, you can quickly get out of here.
You can ask Chu Qing to locate the Tower of Death for you, then follow that direction. You’re getting dumber by the day; I don’t even know what to say to you." Sword Spirit said, feeling like he couldn’t turn iron into steel.
Chu Linfeng let Chu Qing check, and after about half an hour, Chu Qing said, "Big brother, this eerie place is vast. If we could fly, it’d take at least three days to fly out. And there’s a strong Li Wind here, much stronger than the one back at my Celestial Wind Valley. Be careful.
Additionally, there are Cold Flame and Li Fire here, both extremely powerful. It’s said that for ordinary people, getting out of here is almost as hard as ascending to heaven. No wonder it’s called the Death Tower Land; the name isn’t exaggerated at all."
Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng immediately said, "I understand, you should both temporarily return to the Storage Ring. I’ll bring you out once I’ve left this cursed place. I truly don’t understand why flying isn’t allowed here; it’s so strange."
Subsequently, Chu Qing and Chu Tong returned to the Storage Ring, while Chu Linfeng quickly circulated the Wind Element within him. Now, he could only use the Wind Element combined with Shift Form and Shadow to leave this cursed place quickly.
With a thought, a faint blue light appeared on Chu Linfeng’s body, demonstrating the effect of Wind Transformation, creating an afterimage and swiftly rushing forward. Given his current strength, performing Shift Form and Shadow was almost like flying; the wind roared by his ears, and within a few breaths, he was several miles away.
After continuously casting Shift Form and Shadow for half a day, Chu Linfeng stopped because the Li Wind that Chu Qing mentioned appeared ahead. Surprisingly, this Li Wind was black, and the surrounding yellow sand had long been swept into the air.
Judging by the energy swirling within it, Chu Linfeng was certain that it could easily tear a practitioner at the First Layer of Venerable Martial Realm to pieces. Although his defense power was strong, he still had some concerns.
As soon as the Li Wind passed, he could continue his journey. Chu Linfeng halted his steps, watching from a distance as the towering hundreds-meter-high Li Wind approached. He then performed Earth Transformation to plunge into the yellow sand. A few meters down, he felt intense heat.
Looking closely, he noticed that his surroundings weren’t yellow sand but a fiery red. "What kind of ghostly place is this? Even the sand is about to catch fire; how terrifying!" Chu Linfeng couldn’t help but say.
"Lin Feng, this is because your strength is too weak. If you were stronger, your Wind Transformation could easily wield an attack as powerful as this Li Wind. The same applies to other elements; they can all produce terrifying attack power. So don’t be complacent, thinking you’ve mastered the first seven transformations of the Nine Revolutions.
Since the Nine Revolutions is referred to as a heaven-defying cultivation technique, it surely has its heaven-defying aspects. Moving mountains and overturning seas can be achieved in the blink of an eye. To become a true powerhouse, you need to master it thoroughly. Work hard!" Sword Spirit encouraged.
"I understand, Sister Yue’Er, rest assured, I won’t let you down. Someday, I will stand at the very top, and everyone will bow to me. Just wait and see!" Chu Linfeng said resolutely, his eyes shining with confidence.
"Since it’s so hot and the Li Wind is above, I believe there must be a treasure or something special here. Would you like to take a look?" Sword Spirit suggested.
At the mention of treasures, Chu Linfeng’s eyes lit up. If Sword Spirit suggested it, there was a high chance. "Why not take a look? Since we’re at Treasure Mountain, how could I leave empty-handed? That’s not my style," Chu Linfeng declared.
"First, try going underground. There might be Earth Fire here. Some Earth Fires can generate Li-Fire Crystals, which are very useful and can significantly enhance your Fire Transformation.
The Nine Revolutions Star Transformation consists of nine transformations, each with three levels. Currently, you’re only at the Basic Level. To level up, you need to find different Elemental Energy Bodies. The Five Elements Fruit might help you, but it’s not substantial.
However, if there’s indeed a Li-Fire Crystal in the Earth Fire here, it might raise your Fire Transformation by a level. But Li-Fire Crystals are even rarer than Fire Spirit Pearls, so finding one depends on your luck.
In that black Li Wind, there might be Li Wind Crystals, but with your current strength, you might not be able to obtain it. However, in the Immortal Realm, there are plenty of such Li Winds. Once you become strong, you can collect them yourself, so don’t worry about that," Sword Spirit advised.
Only then did Chu Linfeng understand why, despite mastering the first few transformations of the Nine Revolutions, his attack power was weak. Such a heaven-defying Martial Skill should be terrifying, and now he finally knew the reason.
Although his power would increase as he advanced, he could only currently harness a fraction of his strength. Facing a real powerhouse, it was useless. After understanding this, Chu Linfeng decided to check below, hoping his luck would allow him to encounter a Li-Fire Crystal.
The deeper he went, the higher the temperature became. Chu Linfeng had to use Earth Transformation to completely protect himself. There were no visible flames here, so he couldn’t execute Fire Transformation to blend in; he had to endure the scorching waves.
After diving several thousand meters, the surrounding layers were no longer yellow sand but fiery red earth. Here, fire sprouted from the ground occasionally, and the earth and stone defense on Chu Linfeng’s body was already red-hot, making his skin feel scalded.
However, Chu Linfeng’s endurance was extraordinary. This pain was minimal compared to the pain of breaking through the Seventh Layer of Star Body and the Nascent Soul leaving the body.
Gritting his teeth, Chu Linfeng submerged several hundred more meters. At this point, he might have reached his limit. His whole body felt like it was on fire. The temperature here far surpassed Flame Fire. However, he could now perform Fire Transformation to gradually blend his body into the surrounding Fire Element Molecules.
Once Fire Transformation was performed, the pain on his body significantly lessened. He finally appreciated the wonder of Fire Transformation; the surrounding Fire Elements were incredibly dense. Occasionally, black flames emerged from the earth layers.
Chu Linfeng submerged several hundred more meters before stopping. Around him, there was no soil, but a hollow shell-like existence. Below him was fiery red magma, and he knew its temperature was definitely higher than when he had encountered the Fire Qilin.
If he had placed the Fire Qilin egg here, who knows how heaven-defying the Fire Qilin would have become. Taking a deep breath, Chu Linfeng asked Sword Spirit: "Sister Yue’Er, is the Li-Fire Crystal in this magma?"
"It’s not here; it’s in the Earth Fire below the magma. To obtain the Li-Fire Crystal, you have to enter the magma. There’s a certain risk, but I believe you can do it!" Sword Spirit assured.
"You’re kidding, right? Entering the magma? Won’t I die instantly?" Chu Linfeng was dumbfounded.
