Li Xiaonan burned through the Binding Immortal Rope with Nine Yang True Fire. As the lid of the cauldron closed, he was instantly cut off from the outside world.
He touched the inner wall of the Cauldron, a smile creeping onto his lips as he thought, "Am I Sun Wukong? Locked up in a Cauldron, I wonder if I will also cultivate Fiery Eyes."
But in the next moment, Li Xiaonan could no longer smile, for An Quan Tao was truly setting him on fire, and it was Nine Yang True Fire.
The temperature inside the cauldron rose higher and higher; the walls were already too hot to touch. Li Xiaonan could only float within the Cauldron, the air around him growing increasingly scorching, as if even the air was boiling. This was far more intense than a sauna. A bead of sweat formed on his forehead but evaporated immediately.
Purple flames gradually flickered within the cauldron. Li Xiaonan found it increasingly difficult to breathe, and a small tongue of fire struck his clothing, instantly turning it to ash.
He thought to himself, "No! If this continues, I'll be cooked alive!"
He quickly formed hand seals with both hands and sent his consciousness into his Yuan Ying, activating the Martial Soul Technique. Focusing his mind, he suddenly recalled the Heavenly Gang Golden Body from the Martial Soul Technique and began to form hand seals.
Li Xiaonan's entire body ignited as he floated in the cauldron. The Nine Yang True Fire had already engulfed him, and excruciating pain coursed through his body. He nearly fainted from the agony, and his consciousness was pulled back. With his current abilities, the Heavenly Gang Golden Body could not withstand Nine Yang True Fire. It turned out that Nine Yang True Fire was indeed terrifying. He furrowed his brow and quickly searched through his existing knowledge.
With determination, he took out one hundred and eight precious spiritual herbs from his Soul Ring, rapidly flicking his fingers to arrange them around himself.
He shouted, "I am the elixir; the elixir is me! Gather Heavenly Gang Golden Body; manifest an indestructible elixir body!"
In adversity, Li Xiaonan actually thought of refining his physical form by treating himself as an elixir.
At the last moment of arranging the herbs, Nine Yang True Fire finally consumed him. In an instant, his skin and muscles were burned away, leaving only a skeleton behind. The intense pain continuously stimulated Li Xiaonan; all he could do was maintain clarity on his Spirit Platform. Otherwise, one misstep would lead to utter destruction, with even his soul being incinerated by Nine Yang True Fire.
Half an hour passed in a flash. The medicinal properties of the herbs slowly seeped into his bones. Li Xiaonan gradually became numb to the pain. What is pain? What is not pain? His consciousness began to blur slightly; a part of his awareness unexpectedly flew out from the Spirit Platform. Li Xiaonan was startled to see himself in the cauldron.
His body had become nothing but a skeleton; two black holes in his skull made his scalp tingle. Well then, he sighed; I no longer have a scalp. Suddenly looking back at his body, he had an epiphany and felt his consciousness rush back into himself.
Consciousness gathered! A miniature version of Li Xiaonan slowly appeared in the abdomen of the skeleton. Clad in golden ripple armor and sitting cross-legged with ten fingers placed together before his abdomen, he looked serene—this was Li Xiaonan's Yuan Ying.
Gradually, organs like a heart, lungs, and liver grew inside his skeleton; blood vessels and meridians attached themselves to muscles that continuously grew along with the bones. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and flicked both hands repeatedly. Waves of purple lotus-shaped Nine Yang True Fire made the temperature in the Dan Furnace rise even higher as all medicinal properties melted into his tendons and muscles.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but let out a wild scream, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The pain of his body being burned was instantaneous, yet at this moment, his body began to grow once more. This torment felt as if it would last a lifetime.
Blood-red skin slowly emerged, followed by hair. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and two beams of golden light shot forth from them as if they were tangible.
Damn! Fiery Eyes has been mastered! The Heavenly Gang Golden Body from the Martial Soul Technique has also been perfected! His cultivation level had risen to the mid-stage of Divine Separation. It turned out that his previous breakthrough was due to the presence of a fool's soul within him, allowing him to comprehend the Divine Separation Stage. However, his foundation was unstable; fortunately, he was forced back to his original form, or it would have negatively impacted his future cultivation.
He carefully examined his body. The smooth skin felt soft and elastic to the touch. It seemed no different from before, but its resilience was now incomparable. Take the Nine Yang True Fire for instance; the flames continuously licked at his body but felt merely like a tickle. With a wave of his right hand, he gathered all the Nine Yang True Fire into his palm and clenched it tightly, causing it to dissipate.
He chuckled to himself, eager to test just how strong his body had become. He took out the Heavenly Opening Axe and channeled True Essence Power into a strike against his left arm. Instantly, golden light radiated from him, resembling the shining bronze figures seen on television. The force of the strike was deflected away from his left arm.
Li Xiaonan's inner thoughts: Wow! This time I really hit the jackpot!
Outside the Cauldron, Yuan Xian'er and others were unaware of what was happening inside; they only saw An Quan Tao continuously setting fire to Li Xiaonan.
Yuan Xian'er’s face turned red, beads of sweat dripping from her forehead, unsure whether it was due to the residual heat or her anxiety.
Ice Maiden frowned, a fierce glint flashing in her narrow, gentle eyes. She understood the power of the Nine Yang True Fire well; although its purity released by a Scattered Immortal was far inferior to that of an immortal, it was still capable of burning everything. It seemed that Li Xiaonan was in grave danger this time.
She regretted her decision to teleport here! She wanted to contact Mo Changqing and Melt but found herself utterly powerless.
Just as everyone was filled with worry, a heart-wrenching roar erupted from within the Cauldron, only to be followed by silence.
An Quan Tao laughed loudly, "Burned alive! Burned alive! Hahaha! That'll teach you to mess with my wife! Hmph! Li Xiaoyang, you’re still too green to challenge your grandpa!" Saying this, he formed a hand seal and reopened the Cauldron once more.
As the lid lifted, a burst of golden light erupted forth. An Quan Tao's laughter echoed through the cave, filling it with his terrifying mirth.
"Old bastard, who’s your grandpa?" Li Xiaonan crossed his arms and smiled at An Quan Tao's back.
An Quan Tao was startled and spun around abruptly, shrieking, "It's you! You're not dead!"
"Ha ha! Good grandson!"
The other three were equally shocked, never expecting Li Xiaonan to fly out of the Cauldron unscathed. The two women blushed, and although they were looking at his back, the impact was not to be underestimated.
An Quan Tao was so furious that he jumped up and down, his eyes darting as he flipped his hands and formed a strange hand sign.
Li Xiaonan raised an eyebrow. This Scattered Immortal did not seem as formidable as the few he had encountered before, but with all that malice brewing inside him, it was clear he had no good intentions. Hmph! Let's see how I deal with you!
With a fan in his right hand and his left hand forming a sword finger, Li Xiaonan unleashed the Red Silk Hand technique. The Red Plum Thirteen Folds was a unique move from the Martial Soul Technique aimed at sealing the enemy's Yuan Ying. Although Li Xiaonan felt some disdain for An Quan Tao, there was no deep-seated hatred; he did not intend to kill him.
Thirteen strikes of True Essence Power hit An Quan Tao, who was momentarily stunned and fell onto the ground.
In the past, Li Xiaonan would not have been able to subdue a Scattered Immortal like him. However, now that his Heavenly Gang Golden Body had reached great mastery and he was at the mid-stage of Spirit Division, he was no longer the same as before.
Li Xiaonan ignored An Quan Tao's daze and directly took out four Binding Immortal Ropes from his Soul Ring, binding him to the cave wall.
With a sly grin, Li Xiaonan approached An Quan Tao, forming a claw with one hand and pulling the Nine-Tailed Whip from the ground into his palm. "Heh heh! Bad old man, whip me! Today it's my turn to whip you!"
With several cracks of the whip landing on An Quan Tao's body, he bit his lip and frowned without uttering a word.
Li Xiaonan found himself somewhat impressed; he didn't expect this bad old man to be so tough.
Just as he thought this, An Quan Tao moved. He twisted his body and gasped, "Mmm... Mmm... Ah! Faster! Mmm... Don't stop! Ah... Whip me, don't stop, mmm... Continue... Hurry... So good..."
In the vast cave, an unusual scene unfolded: a handsome young man was vigorously whipping an ugly old man.
Li Xiaonan threw down the whip in shock and stomped his feet angrily. "What the hell is going on here? Is this SM? BL? Ugh... I'm going to be sick..."
What the hell? I'm supposed to be the main character! Where's the thrill of defeating monsters and leveling up? Why does whipping someone turn into this? Is the author deliberately messing with me? This guy is called An Quan Tao, looks terrible, has weak abilities, and is still a submissive—what kind of nonsense is this?
Li Xiaonan suddenly looked up. What was I just thinking?
He took a deep breath and finally realized he was still naked. He hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing and stopped looking at An Quan Tao, who was twisting around restlessly. He ignored the sounds of "mm" and "ah" coming from his mouth, as well as the words urging him to go away, and naturally did not notice the glint of cunning in his eyes.
Li Xiaonan untied the Binding Immortal Rope from the three others on the other side, giving each of them two Calming Pills to help them regain their strength.
"Wow! Calming Pills! I've only heard of them but never seen them. Haha, Xian'er, I’m lucky to benefit from you too."
Yuan Xian'er shot a glare at Ling Xingyao, tightly clutching the pills as if they might slip away if she wasn't careful.
The Ice Maiden glanced at Li Xiaonan, her inner thoughts racing: The Nine Yang True Fire couldn't do anything to him! Even the Scattered Immortal was easily subdued by him. Had he broken through again? How many secrets did he hide?
Li Xiaonan bent down to check Yuan Xian'er's ankle injury. Seeing that it had already scabbed over, he took out Ice Skin Snow Cream and handed it to her. "Hold this and apply some more. It shouldn't leave a scar."
Yuan Xian'er nodded, and Li Xiaonan smiled slightly, unconsciously reaching out to ruffle her messy Azure Silks hair before turning to leave the cave.
Li Xiaonan took a deep breath; all his previous frustrations vanished. Nothing felt better than an increase in cultivation; only strength mattered!
He looked around and realized that this cave was halfway up a mountain, with green succulent plants covered in small thorns climbing up the rocky surface. He scratched his head, a faint smile appearing on his face. Slowly closing his eyes, he extended his consciousness outward, enveloping the entire mountain. The creatures within were clearly reflected in his mind.
In the distance, he spotted a pair of sika deer—presumably mother and child—snuggling together by the lake for a drink. Not far behind a fir tree lurked a tiger, eyeing them hungrily. Li Xiaonan swept his consciousness over the tiger's body, causing it to shudder violently before it turned tail and fled without a trace.
The mother deer looked back but saw nothing behind her and continued to drink water.
A smile crept onto Li Xiaonan's lips as he retracted his consciousness. Unfortunately, his cultivation level wasn't high enough; the range of his consciousness was limited. He glanced back at the cave, pondering that since it would take some time for them to recover their energy, he might as well explore this island thoroughly. After all, this was the territory of the Scattered Immortal; surely there would be treasures to find.
