Chapter 646 Hope for Revenge!
In the storage bag, there was a spirit core stone, some leftover teleportation talismans, and various other small items.
Method Yu didn’t care at all about losing the other things.
But losing that spirit core stone was very bad.
Method Yu had originally planned to use the spirit core stone as bait to lure those Purple Flame Palace remnants to come to him.
But now, with the spirit core stone gone, this plan was ruined.
“How could I not have remembered? I remembered so many things, yet forgot about this storage bag!” Method Yu gritted his teeth and thought.
Method Yu lost the storage bag when he broke through to the ten thousandth layer of Qi Refinement.
Right after breaking through, he wanted to find the storage bag.
But at that moment, the damned Soul Destroyer appeared!
After that, Method Yu’s mind was completely occupied with the Soul Destroyer, and he totally forgot about the storage bag!
“Sigh…”
After blaming himself, Method Yu sighed, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip of hot tea.
Ji Rumei saw that Method Yu didn’t look well, but she didn’t dare ask what exactly had happened, so she said, “Mr. Method, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?”
“You’re so thoughtful.” Method Yu looked at Ji Rumei and said.
“I, I’ll go prepare something right away.” Ji Rumei’s cheeks flushed red from Method Yu’s sudden comment, and she immediately stood up and walked toward the kitchen in the back.
Seeing Ji Rumei leave, Red Lotus turned her head to look at Method Yu and asked, “After I left, you fought with that… being, what was the result?”
“…Aren’t you asking something you already know? Of course I defeated it, otherwise how could I be sitting here?” Method Yu said impatiently.
“Defeated it… how did you manage that?” Red Lotus frowned and asked.
Facing the Soul Destroyer, she, as a Phoenix clan being who had just inherited the Phoenix essence, instinctively felt fear!
Yet Method Yu had defeated the Soul Destroyer head-on?
This contrast and gap made Red Lotus feel ashamed.
“How did I manage? That’s quite a sophisticated question, and I find it hard to explain to you.” Method Yu said.
“What exactly happened?” Red Lotus widened her eyes, her crimson pupils filled with confusion, and asked urgently.
“The situation was like this: I estimated the Soul Destroyer’s strength to be about this high.” Method Yu raised his hand to indicate a height and said, “Then, I tried to use about this much power to punch it… and as a result, it was really blown away by just that one punch.”
“You mean… it wasn’t actually that strong?” Red Lotus asked in confusion.
“No, I mean it was extremely strong, possibly the strongest being I’ve ever encountered.” Method Yu’s expression turned serious as he said, “So, I didn’t think I could easily defeat it. But the fact is, I really did blow it away with just one punch.”
“So… you think it might not be dead?” Red Lotus’s expression changed slightly as she asked.
“That’s possible, but not very likely.” Method Yu took another sip of tea and said.
“If it’s not very likely, why are you still so puzzled?” Red Lotus pressed.
Method Yu shook his head without speaking.
The reason he was so concerned about blowing away the Soul Destroyer with one punch was that after breaking through to the ten thousandth layer of Qi Refinement, he suddenly didn’t understand his own strength anymore.
Before, although he was quite strong, he could precisely control the force of every punch and kick.
But the punch he threw at the Soul Destroyer, which he thought was using about eighty percent of his power…
The actual effect far exceeded his expectations.
The entire space shattered, and the explosive power was almost too much even for him to withstand…
This also indicated that after breaking through to the ten thousandth layer of Qi Refinement, besides gaining the ability to merge with heaven and earth, his power had increased again.
Now, Method Yu wasn’t sure exactly how powerful he was.
This feeling wasn’t good at all.
“Let’s not worry about the Soul Destroyer anymore. Even if it’s still alive, it can only be trapped outside the endless space, and we’re unlikely to see it again.” Method Yu said, “Let’s talk about the Phoenix essence instead.”
“The Phoenix essence… what’s there to talk about?” Red Lotus asked.
“Have you completely refined the essence?” Method Yu looked at Red Lotus and asked.
Red Lotus shook her head and said, “No… but the essence has completely entered my body.”
“Why did your Phoenix clan’s legacy choose me as the inheritor?” Method Yu asked again.
“That question… even the Vermilion Bird ancestor was puzzled about.” Red Lotus said.
Method Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering the small golden dragon inside his body.
When Method Yu was absorbing the Phoenix essence, the small golden dragon had shown unusual excitement.
And after the Phoenix essence appeared in his body, the small dragon and the phoenix fused together, replacing the position of his dantian…
In other words, the reason the Phoenix essence chose Method Yu was most likely related to that small golden dragon.
In the Nine States Nation since ancient times, dragons and phoenixes were often mentioned together.
When mentioning dragons, phoenixes would inevitably be mentioned as well.
Many legends, idioms, and folk sayings originated from dragons and phoenixes.
Some legends say dragons and phoenixes have a father-daughter relationship, while others claim they are husband and wife…
But the truth, nobody knows.
After all, these two divine beasts only exist in legends, and no one has ever seen them.
But now, both dragon and phoenix had appeared inside Method Yu’s body.
Judging from how they fused together and coiled into a sphere-like shape, these two might indeed have an intimate relationship.
But to truly understand their connection, Method Yu couldn’t do that yet.
He didn’t even know where his dantian had gone!
Most cultivators practice to understand the secrets of the heavenly way, to break through the limits of lifespan and ascend to immortality.
But Method Yu cultivated to understand the secrets of his own body.
Both were cultivation, but with completely opposite ultimate goals.
“I need to advance further to understand my body’s condition,” Method Yu thought.
Later that evening, Method Yu enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at Ji Rumei’s home.
“I need to find a place to continue refining the Phoenix ancestor’s essence…” After dinner, Red Lotus said to Method Yu.
“And after you finish refining it?” Method Yu asked.
“Seek revenge against the Essence Devourer!” Red Lotus’s eyes were filled with hatred as she spoke.
“Good, I can accompany you afterward.” Method Yu smiled.
After Red Lotus left, Method Yu also said goodbye to Ji Rumei and returned to Lijiang Residential Area.
“Xiaoyu, why are you back so late? You didn’t even answer your phone… Auntie Wang prepared a table full of delicious food, and it’s all cold now.” Wang Yan reproached Method Yu when she saw him.
It was then that Method Yu remembered he had promised to return for dinner before leaving at noon.
At the same time, he also remembered that he had lost his phone.
But food was something Method Yu could never have too much of.
Having another meal wouldn’t be a problem.
So, Method Yu sat down at the dining table again and began eating heartily.
…
In the central region, in a hidden spot within the primeval forest.
This was the temporary location of the Purple Flame Palace.
At this moment, six figures stood among several stone tablets.
Except for Zhengyun and Chenmu who hadn’t returned yet, all the disciples whose souls had been revived were present.
Jiang Dao had already refined the third spirit core stone several days ago and was quietly waiting for Zhengyun and Chenmu to return with the fourth spirit core stone.
“Didn’t Senior Brother Zhengyun and Senior Brother Chenmu say they were almost here? Why haven’t they arrived yet… it’s been almost half an hour!” Xiumei, the youngest, said anxiously.
“They’re back.”
Just then, Jiang Dao, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.
“Whoosh!”
Two figures appeared in the sky and quickly descended.
It was Zhengyun and Chenmu returning from Jiangnan.
All six people looked at Zhengyun and Chenmu, their eyes filled with anticipation and tension.
“Se-Senior Brother, we’ve got the fourth spirit core stone!” Zhengyun shouted.
Chenmu immediately took out the spirit core stone that symbolized the Purple Flame Palace’s hope from his storage bag and displayed it before everyone.
“Excellent!” Everyone present showed excited and thrilled smiles on their faces.
“Don’t be noisy.” Jiang Dao frowned and said.
The others’ expressions changed, and they immediately closed their mouths.
Jiang Dao reached out his hand, took the spirit core stone, and examined it carefully to confirm there were no issues.
The skin on his face twitched and contorted.
Then, he raised his head and let out a frenzied, vengeful laugh: “Hahahahaha… Method Yu, you would never have imagined that the Supreme Elder left us with such hope for revenge! This time, I will repay all the hatred and frustration of these past two thousand years at once!”
