Chapter 857 Possession Completed
Upon hearing the retort from the Heavenly Fire Spirit, Zhang Chen said expressionlessly, "I don't care about all that. I must refine the true spirit of the Peach Tree within a hundred years."

Upon hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Heavenly Fire Spirit fell silent for a long, long time before finally replying, "I will do my best!"

Zhang Chen nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, then his figure flashed and he disappeared into the distance.

Watching Zhang Chen's departing figure, the Heavenly Fire Spirit looked surprised: "Why is this kid suddenly urging me? Could it be that the situation outside has changed again?"

Regardless of what the Heavenly Fire Spirit was thinking, its movements quickened.

Time passed slowly, and a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Zhang Chen was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, looking at the alchemy formula in his hand, when suddenly the furnace fire in front of him twisted and a voice came from the flames: "It's done."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen's face lit up with joy. He casually put down the pill formula and then used his escape technique to arrive at the underground flames. Sure enough, he saw that his own primordial spirit had completely devoured the true spirit of the peach tree and was floating in the sea of ​​fire.

Zhang Chen carefully sensed the primordial spirit of the peach tree he had devoured. He saw that the primordial spirit had turned blue, with mysterious energy flowing within it. A blue pattern was constantly rotating around the primordial spirit. Because his primordial spirit had devoured the true spirit of the peach tree, it had not yet finished digesting it and therefore had not yet awakened.

"I have fulfilled my promise. Quickly remove the mark from my body." The Heavenly Fire Spirit stared at Zhang Chen and warned, "Boy, you better not go back on your word, or you know the consequences."

"Rest assured, Ancestor. Although I am a human, and in your eyes I am but an ant, I will never go back on my word." Zhang Chen thought to himself as he retrieved the peach's primordial spirit, then looked at the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit. The next moment, he gently touched the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, and the aura around the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit inexplicably changed. A mark flew out from the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit's body and returned to Zhang Chen's body.

"The restriction has been lifted?" Upon sensing the disappearance of the mark within his body, the Creation Fire Spirit was overjoyed: "You really are a trustworthy person."

"Now that our transaction is complete, let's wish each other well from now on," Zhang Chen said to the Heavenly Fire Spirit, then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Just then, the Heavenly Fire Spirit spoke up, its voice filled with an inexplicable tone.

Zhang Chen stopped in his tracks, his back to the Creation Fire Spirit, a slight smile playing on his lips. But the moment he turned around, the smile vanished, replaced by a puzzled look as he asked the Creation Fire Spirit, "Is there anything else, Ancestor?"

"Leave the Heavenly Spirit and the Water Spirit behind," said the Heavenly Fire Spirit.

"This isn't within the scope of our transaction, is it?" Zhang Chen asked.

“Of course, it’s not within the scope of the transaction,” said the Creation Fire Spirit.

"Then what is this, Ancestor...?" Zhang Chen looked at the Creation Fire Spirit with a puzzled expression.

"Robbery!" The voice of the Heavenly Fire Spirit was full of smugness: "Will you hand over the Heavenly Spirit and Heavenly Water Spirit yourself, or will I, your ancestor, personally kill you and take your treasures?"

"Is the Ancestor going to break his promise?" Zhang Chen's face darkened.

"I know you have some tricks up your sleeve, and it won't be easy to take you down. You'd better give me the origins of the Heavenly Spirit and the Heavenly Water Spirit right now, or I'll wreak havoc in West Kunlun, wake up the Queen Mother of the West, and make sure you die a horrible death." The Heavenly Fire Spirit's voice was full of impatience.

"I hate untrustworthy people the most in my life!" Zhang Chen's face was very gloomy, and cold words seemed to be spitting out from between his teeth.

"So what? You're nothing but an ant, you have no choice!" The voice of the Heavenly Fire Spirit was full of arrogance.

Zhang Chen's face darkened upon hearing this: "Does the Ancestor insist on doing this?"

“Absolutely!” said the Creation Fire Spirit.

“I helped you escape your predicament, and instead of being grateful, you tried to rob and harm me. Is that morally right?” Zhang Chen’s voice was filled with resentment.

Upon hearing this, the Creation Fire Spirit sneered: "If you utter another word, you'll die right now!"

He was already impatient. What was this mere ant? Did it even deserve to negotiate with him? It wasn't even worthy to speak to him! If he weren't afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother of the West who was sleeping in West Kunlun, he probably would have killed it by now.

However, the fact that this kid was not afraid of his flames made him a little wary, but that was all. His flames could not kill him, but there were plenty of ways to kill him.

Zhang Chen sighed softly upon hearing this, "Such an ungrateful person is rare indeed." "Hmph, you helped me escape, and I helped you refine the true spirit of the Peach Tree. Our grudges have long been settled." The Heavenly Fire Spirit's voice was filled with impatience.

"Boy, since you don't want to be dignified, then your ancestor can only help you be dignified."

The Creation Fire Spirit took a step toward Zhang Chen, but the next moment its body froze, stiffening in mid-air, and its divine power completely subsided, inexplicably suppressed.

"What's going on?" The Heavenly Fire Spirit was frozen in place, its eyes filled with panic.

Zhang Chen slowly extended his palm, summoning the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit to his front and holding it in his palm.

"You...you...what kind of trick is this? Who exactly are you?" The Creator Fire Spirit felt the completely dormant divine power within its body, its eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhang Chen looked at the Creation Fire Spirit with a contemptuous smile. Before his Fire Element Authority, the Creation Fire Spirit was nothing more than an ant.

"How do you want to die?" Zhang Chen didn't answer the other person's question, but instead asked.

"Grand Ancestor, please have mercy! I was just joking. Yes, yes, I was just joking! Grand Ancestor, please spare my life!" The Heavenly Fire Spirit was completely panicked at this moment, its eyes filled with horror: "You are a magnanimous person. Please spare me for the sake of how hard I worked to refine the true spirit of the Peach Tree for you."

“I think it would be better for me to refine you and destroy your true spirit.” Zhang Chen grasped the body of the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, and the next moment he began to drive the Fire Element Authority to dissipate its true spirit and obliterate its form.

"Ancestor, no! I am willing to submit! I am willing..." Before the Creation Fire Spirit could finish speaking, it was already forced back to its original form, turning into a fiery red bead. The bead twisted in Zhang Chen's hand, and a blue bead popped out from it.

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Chen realized that the bead was indeed the bead of the Heavenly Wind Spirit. Now, as the Heavenly Fire Spirit was suppressed by it, the bead reappeared.

Zhang Chen held two beads in his hand, a hint of joy in his eyes: "It gathers the power of the four spirits of creation, which is a great blessing to me. Although this creation wind spirit cannot be placed in the Five Elements River, it is still a rare treasure."

Why did Zhang Chen annihilate the consciousness of the Primordial Fire Spirit? It was simply because this old fellow was difficult to control. Without the power of the bet, even if the other party cooperated with him in refining it, it would take him a very long time to refine the Primordial Fire Spirit, and he couldn't wait that long.

The Creation Fire Spirit is different from the Peach Tree. The Peach Tree has no self-awareness; it's a blank slate, so refining it isn't difficult. But the Creation Fire Spirit has its own consciousness, and it can bring you big trouble if you're not careful.

"I was originally worried about how to deal with the Creation Fire Spirit, after all, I am not a treacherous person. But when you're in trouble, someone brings you a pillow. The Creation Fire Spirit actually came to my door on its own, giving me an excuse to take action." Zhang Chen played with the Creation Fire Spirit's bead, and after a moment of contemplation, he directly used his supernatural power to send a wisp of his primordial spirit into it for refinement.

As for the Wind Spirit Pearl? Zhang Chen also sent in a wisp of his primordial spirit to refine the Wind Spirit Pearl.

He had plenty of primordial spirit, and was just worried about where to use it.

After sending his primordial spirit into the bead, Zhang Chen directly stored it within the Eye of Heaven, allowing it to gradually refine the bead within the Eye of Heaven.

These Four Creation Spirits are indeed the Four Great Demon Gods of Creation, and their true forms are the origins of the Four Creation Spirits. However, the beads formed from those four origins are four innate spiritual treasures, containing the power of creation and possessing the means to evolve earth, water, wind, and fire.

"Or perhaps, the Four Creation Spirits are four different kinds of authority. As long as you control these four beads, you can control the authority of the Four Creation Spirits and control the power of earth, water, wind, and fire between heaven and earth." Zhang Chen felt the information transmitted by the four primordial spirits and was secretly amazed. The next moment, he quickly used his escape technique to leave and disappeared into the sea of ​​fire.

Although the Primordial Fire Spirit in the magma was taken away, its power still remained underground, which could last for three to five years. After three to five years, when the power of the Primordial Fire Spirit dissipated, this matter would surely shake the entire Kunlun Mountain. He would need to erase all his information and never come to this place again.

"With the disappearance of the Creation Fire Spirit, the Queen Mother of the West is very likely to awaken from her slumber. Before she awakens, I must hurry up and settle the matter of the Peach Tree. For me, the Peach Tree is the real big gain, after all, the Peach Tree means immortality. If I can bring it back to the future world, I will have made a fortune, and I don't know how much of a storm it will cause." Zhang Chen's figure flashed, and when he reappeared, he was already under the Peach Tree. Looking at the tall trunk and lush branches of the Peach Tree, he slowly stretched out his palm and pressed it on the tall trunk of the Peach Tree, and then slowly poured the true spirit of the Peach Tree into it.

"Om~"

As Zhang Chen's primordial spirit entered the peach tree, the entire tree swayed gently, emitting a strange tremor. The peach tree gained a trace of inexplicable spirituality, as if it had come alive from an inanimate object.

Zhang Chen looked at the peach tree in front of him with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. The next moment, he gently tapped his finger, and the power of time flowed by in an instant. One hundred and eighty years passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Chen's primordial spirit completely sank into the trunk of the peach tree.

"In fact, the Peach Tree has a shocking secret: the three-thousand-year-old Peach and the six-thousand-year-old Peach are both offspring of the nine-thousand-year-old Peach. The three Peach Mother Trees actually share the same true spirit," Zhang Chen muttered to himself.
