Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 1479

1479 Laojun City, Bagua Furnace, Qinghua Imperial Commander Appears

Laojun City was named after a great one from ancient times, Taishang Laojun.

It was said that Laojun’s pill-refining technique was the best in the Immortal World and that no one was able to match his techniques. Therefore, Kunlun Immortal Hall treated him as an honored guest.

Laojun City was where he once perched the ways of Dao.

Now, the city remains the biggest place for pill-refining, and many alchemists gathered in the city.

!!
In the center of the city stood a massive pill-refining furnace.

The three-legged furnace was tens of thousands of meters tall and black with a hint of gold and had Bagua carvings on it. Countless mystical runes were also carved on its surface.

That would be the Bagua Furnace, which was said to be the ultimate Opportunity of Fortune in Laojun City.

Many cultivators were around it, staring at it with utmost desire.

“It is said that Laojun used this Bagua Furnace to refine his pills. I wonder how many mystical pills are inside.”

“Yeah. I heard Laojun once refined a golden pill, named the Ninth Rebirth Golden Pill. A normal person achieved immortality once taken, and an Immortal can reach Arch Gilded if taken! It’s ridiculously powerful! Even those Gilded Immortals who are on their way to Arch Gilded have their eyes over the Ninth Rebirth Golden Pill!”

“If I can find one from this furnace, I’ll ascend to a new height!”

“Yeah.”

Heated discussions could be heard from the crowd.

It was at that moment, clouds from further away rumbled as a golden chariot came from the sky.

Six powerful stallions led the chariot. Each was a rare breed of Heavenly horse and possessed strength that rivaled a True Immortal.

On the chariot was a man basking in a spiritual veil.

“The stallions and the chariot… It’s the Ji clan!”

“The Ji clan? One of the oldest clans in the Immortal World?! They’ve come for the furnace as well?!”

“Laojun City is near the Ji clan, so it would be normal for them to make it here.”

The cultivators were deterred by the arrival of the golden chariot.

As the oldest clan in the Immortal world, it was said that the Ji clan had the support of both the Immortal Halls.

The most well-known Prodigies from the Ji clan was, of course, the one who wielded the Xuanyuan Sword and joined the Human Emperor Sect, Ji Wu.

Other than Ji Wu, the Ji clan had many spectacular sky-prides as well.

Besides Ji Wu, the other person on the golden chariot was also one of the most well-known sky-prides, named Ji De. It was said that his cultivation had reached the Gilded Immortal Realm, almost matching that of Ji Wu.

Just then, roars sounded from the sky.

A kylin, engulfed in flames, roared in the sky, leaving nothing but scorched land and distorted space in its trail.

“It’s the Prodigy from Kylin Cave!”

Kylin Duan was a Prodigy from Kylin Cave. As one of its most prolific Prodigies, he shared a similar cultivation level with Ji De, which was the Gilded Immortal Realm.

At the next moment, nine pillars of fiery light burst into the sky, each representing a rare Divine Flame, and each ranked high on the Divine Flame List.

The nine divine flames merged in the void and formed a ball of dazzling flame.

A vast fire-elemental might scorched the realm and somehow overpowered Kylin Duan’s own aura.

“That’s the Kumadhi Divine Flame!”

A keen-eyed cultivator recognized the flames and understood what they represented.

“He’s here!”

Many Prodigies made a name for themselves in the past few years, and one of them was Fire Boy from the Immortal Hall’s Fire Division!

He was known for being a master in controlling the Kumadhi Divine Flame.

A handsome young man emerged from the flame.

Compared to his childish look many years ago, Fire Boy had grown into a teenager with proud looks and a powerful aura.

His energy presence was slightly stronger than that of Ji De and Kylin Duan.

“The Bagua Furnace is said to contain the Liuding Heavenly Flame, which rivals or even overpowers my Kumadhi Divine Flame. I would like to have a look,” Fire Boy muttered.

There were two kinds of divine flame in this world. One would be the Innate Divine Flame, and the other one would be the Pseudo Divine Flame, which was created by cultivation.

The former were all written down on the Divine Flame List, and while the latter might not be on the list, some cultivated flames rivaled that of the Innate Divine Flames or even better.

Kumadhi Divine Flame and Liuding Heavenly Flame would be two of the Pseudo Divine Flame.

The arrival of three Prodigies awed the crowd, but it also made them worry about the trip into the furnace.

They were all here for Opportunities of Fortune, so the lesser the crowd, the better the chance.

The arrival of the three Prodigies put quite the pressure on the others.

Then, clouds from further away rumbled as azure light burst from the seams, followed by Daoist chimes.

A white lion with nine heads stepped out from the clouds, carrying a terrifying yokai qi and domineering aura that swept the land.

The nine-headed lion was an incredibly powerful wild beast that rivaled even the Godly Phoenixes and the Kylin.

The other shocking thing was that on top of the nine-headed lion was a man in azure robes.

The man was overflowing with Immortal Sparks, and thunder and wind howl echoed around him. An azure sword was hung around his waist as his vast aura shrouded the realm.

Everyone gasped in awe at his arrival.

“It’s Qinghua Imperial Commander!”

“One of the six Imperial Commanders, Qinghua Imperial Commander, is here?!”

In the era where sky-prides and Prodigies appeared like mushrooms after rain, some naturally stood out from the crowd.

The six Imperial Commanders of Kunlun Immortal Hall were one of those people.

“Imperial Commander.”

Fire Boy approached with a bow and a fist salute.

The Qinghua Imperial Commander nodded. “You’ve improved a lot. I see you have already achieved the Gilded Immortal Realm.”

That would not be their first meeting.

“I am still far behind you, Imperial Commander,” Fire Boy said.

Based on what he knew, the Qinghua Imperial Commander had achieved Gilded Immortal Realm two years ago.

It reminded him of the Holy Violet Imperial Commander, who he once served. If the Holy Violet Imperial Commander were still alive, he might be able to rival the Qinghua Imperial Commander.

At that thought, another figure popped up in Fire Boy’s mind.

It was the figure who once shamed and insulted him!

“The Bagua Furnace has been sealed for many years until recently, so it’s not going to be an easy job opening it. We should team up for now and open it,” the Qinghua Imperial Commander said.

He wanted everyone to open the Bagua Furnace together and use the chance to test everyone’s strength.

“I humbly accept your invitation for the opening, Imperial Commander. Please,” Ji De said respectfully.

The others reacted rather strangely when they heard him say that.

Rumor had it that the Ji clan was supported by the two Immortal Hals, but now it seemed like the rumor was true. Otherwise, Ji De would not have been so respectful toward the Qinghua Imperial Commander.

“If so, let’s do it,” Kylin Duan said.

Following that, he raised his hand, and flames burst out in the air, forming a massive Kylin’s leg that was ready to strike at any moment.

Ji De, too, drew his sword, and a strong elegance filled the air when the blade revealed itself.

It was the Ji clan’s Heaven’s Son Sword!

Legend had it that it was a top Immortal Weapon that was seconded only to the Xuanyuan Sword. When coupled with Ji clan’s Heaven’s Son Sword Art, its full potential would be explored.

Ji De raised the Heaven’s Son Sword up in the air, and a massive sword shadow appeared.

Fire Boy also channeled his Kumadhi Divine Flame while the Qing Hua Imperial Commander drew his sword, shooting a surge of azure sword qi toward the furnace.

At that, the others channeled their Immortal Techniques and attacked the furnace.
