Supreme Lord of Towers

"It seems I must quickly elevate my cultivation to gather enough Human Race Contribution Points and exchange them for an Immortal Artifact," Ye Chen said excitedly, his eyes filled with great anticipation.

The sword arrays he inherited from the Supreme Human Emperor contained some incredibly terrifying power, which could potentially rival Divine Spirits when fully unleashed.

However, these sword arrays essentially required Battle Swords of Immortal Artifact level to activate.

The most powerful weapons Ye Chen possessed were those forty-nine Heaven and Earth Demon-Slaying Swords.

They were merely top-grade Treasures and could not activate those powerful sword arrays at all.

Thus, Ye Chen had to find a way to obtain an Immortal Artifact.

And in the headquarters of the Human King Hall, Immortal Artifacts were available for exchange, making it hard for him not to be tempted.

"Ye Chen, here is the Purifying Fire," Elder Luo said with a slight smile shortly after, leading Ye Chen to a black stone platform.

On the platform was a crystal bottle containing a mass of white flames blazing within.

That flame was precisely the Purifying Fire.

In fact, the Purifying Fire, like the Immortal Golden Thunder Ye Chen acquired before, belonged to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects on the Earth Spirit List.

It was just that its ranking on the Earth Spirit List was much higher than the Immortal Golden Thunder, currently in the three-hundreds.

Thus, its value was simply immeasurable.

Even for a Nascent Soul Realm expert, affording it was rare.

For this reason, Inner Hall Disciples at the Human King Hall typically spent ten thousand Human Race Contribution Points to borrow the Purifying Fire for ten days.

After ten days, they must return the Purifying Fire, or face more Contribution Points being deducted.

"Haha! With this Purifying Fire, I will be able to elevate my cultivation to the Golden Core Realm," Ye Chen exclaimed excitedly, swiftly storing the crystal bottle into his Storage Bracelet.

Quickly, he left the Treasure Pavilion in haste.

Currently, Ye Chen was left with few Human Race Contribution Points.

Although there were treasures in the Treasure Pavilion that caught his eye, he couldn't afford them.

So there was no need for him to squander time there.

...

Half an hour later, Ye Chen returned to his residence.

"Chen'er, you're back!" Ye Ming and Xiao Hui were overjoyed to see Ye Chen, and began to warmly inquire after him.

As for Ye Chen's sister, Ye Xi, she was in seclusion cultivating, and Ye Chen naturally did not disturb her.

"Godfather, Godmother, I'm going to cultivate," Ye Chen said after spending some time with Ye Ming and Xiao Hui, then headed toward his Cultivation Chamber.

Buzz!

Upon stepping into the Cultivation Chamber, he retrieved the Purifying Fire from the crystal bottle.

This flame had a low temperature and gave Ye Chen a cool, refreshing feeling as if it could purify all things.

This was the characteristic of the Purifying Fire.

Its attack power was merely average among various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects.

However, it had an extremely strong restraining effect on various evil entities.

It could be used to cleanse black substances from the Profound Pill and purify all kinds of evil and ghostly energy.

This is why it was ranked so high on the Earth Spirit List.

Whoosh!

Just as Ye Chen intended to use the Purifying Fire to cleanse the black substances from his Profound Pill, an unexpected event occurred.

He suddenly saw a mass of black fire surge from within him, lunging toward the Purifying Fire.

This flame was Ye Chen's Devouring Fire.

Since last time, after the Devouring Fire consumed three kinds of Spiritual Fires from the Fire Sect Treasure Vault, its power had reached an extremely terrifying level.

A flame like the Purifying Fire could not resist its devour at all.

"No, stop immediately," Ye Chen's expression drastically changed, quickly using his Divine Thought to intercept the Devouring Fire.

If the Purifying Fire was absorbed by the Devouring Fire, it would be troublesome.

At that point, he would not only fail to break through to the Golden Core Realm but also have to compensate for the Human King Hall's loss.

So, he naturally could not let the Devouring Fire have its way.

Fortunately, Ye Chen reacted swiftly and promptly intercepted the Devouring Fire.

This flame had already acknowledged him as its master, so it had to obey Ye Chen's orders.

If it was someone else, they would not have stopped it.

"That was close," Ye Chen exhaled deeply, quickly retracting the Devouring Fire back into his body.

Next, he sat cross-legged on a White Jade Bed and began to activate the Purifying Fire.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, the Purifying Fire transformed into a stream of light, rushing into Ye Chen's Dantian.

In the depths of Ye Chen's Dantian, a purple-golden Profound Pill floated with large amounts of black substances covering it.

These black substances were obstructing Ye Chen from breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.

So, as long as these black substances were completely removed, Ye Chen could strike the Golden Core Realm at any moment.

Sizzle!

Over the course of the next day, Ye Chen worked on removing the black substances from his Profound Pill using the Purifying Fire.

This process also went remarkably smoothly without any incidents.

These black substances were incredibly mysterious, and tough to remove through other means.

However, when they encountered the Purifying Fire, they remarkably started to melt away bit by bit.

...

"I've succeeded!" By the following noon, Ye Chen had completely purged the black substances from his Profound Pill.

His expression was one of utmost excitement, as if he had been infused with Phoenix Blood.

Without the hindrance of these black substances, he was now able to charge towards the Golden Core Realm.

"Once my cultivation steps into the Golden Core Realm, my mana can increase fivefold, and more importantly, I can then quickly enhance my cultivation using a Nascent Soul Pill," Ye Chen's eyes shot out rays of piercing light.

The Nascent Soul Pill is an extremely precious Immortal Pill, refined using the Nascent Soul from a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

This elixir can rapidly enhance the cultivation of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Of course, your Martial Arts Realm must meet the standard first.

Otherwise, even with a Nascent Soul Pill, your cultivation will stagnate.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen's Martial Arts Realm had already reached the Ninth Layer of the True Realm.

As long as he was provided with enough Nascent Soul Pills, he could break through all the way to the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

At that point, his cultivation would certainly surpass many True Disciples of the Human King Hall.

"Ye Chen, I've collected the True Dragon Blood Crystal you wanted," just when Ye Chen was about to assault the Golden Core Realm, his Communication Crystal Stone suddenly lit up.

The message sender was none other than Elder Luo.

"Excellent, my Nine Dragon Dominating Body can finally advance further," Ye Chen's expression turned delighted, hastily heading toward the outside of the Cultivation Chamber.
