The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 424 Lesser Heat
After another three years of seclusion, Wang Wu quietly emerged from his retreat.

He did not attempt to repair the hidden damage to the other four elixirs.

Firstly, the remaining 100 million points of spiritual energy in the Great Common Pill can no longer be consumed.

Secondly, these four spirit pills did not suffer the same unforeseen consequences as the Fire Spirit Pill. Although they caused many hidden injuries, they were very stable, and delaying the inevitable by several hundred years was no problem at all.

As long as they are not used to force participation in the war.

In fact, it is not necessary.

Now Wang Wu can indeed conquer the world with just one Fire Spirit Pill.

Currently, after three years of rest and reorganization, Huo Ling Dan has officially subdued the Acquired Five Elements Spirit Array, turning it into its own moat.

Yes, that's how awesome it is!
The other four elixirs were like its lackeys and eunuchs.

The Greatest Commonwealth Dan practically became its beloved concubine.

Even the Five Demon Pills of Innate Bloodline must revere the Fire Spirit Pill as the Heavenly Khan!

Because what's meant to happen will happen!
The powerful activation of the Fire Spirit Pill directly pushed the Blood Curse Heavenly Punishment to 70%, leaving only 30% to break through it.

If Wang Wu were willing, he could even work from within and without to break through the Blood Curse Heavenly Punishment.

But he didn't want to; he wanted to keep this special buff because he hadn't extracted enough residual value from it yet.

Therefore, up to now, 5.5% of his bloodline evolution is actually temporarily sealed.

Besides, it's now difficult to determine the grade of this Fire Spirit Pill, as it has already exceeded grade one.

As a result, the Crimson Flame Spiritual Qi advanced as a whole; in Wang Wu's words, it was like a sixth-tier super soldier.

The current total reserve limit is one million points, which doesn't seem like much, but you should know that one point of Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy is now thirty-two times that of ordinary spiritual energy.

That is, the progression from one to thirty-two.

Therefore, it should actually be equivalent to 32 million points of ordinary spiritual energy.

Eight million points of Qi and Blood.

Or four million points of Frost Spirit.

Or 16 million points of Green Wood, Refined Metal, and Earth Spiritual Energy.

Similarly, fire-based Taoist techniques have also undergone a complete transformation, all being upgraded to supernatural powers.

In fact, the Fire-type Taoist Master Wu has never really devoted much time to researching it.

After all, he used to rely on his innate bloodline to conquer the world, with acquired elixirs as a supplement.

At most, it's just mindless rushing in with Ice and Fire Amulets and Ice and Fire Shields.

But it is different now.

First is the Flame Shield. Wang Wu didn't test it, but the data from the Four Clowns shows it's level 20!
This may not be correct, after all, neither they nor Wang Wu understand the standards of the cultivation world outside.

However, a single fire shield can easily block five million points of damage.

In other words, this fire shield is equivalent to a protective talisman.

In addition, because Wang Wu has been repairing his hidden injuries, his understanding of fire-based Dao techniques has now reached a first-class level in the cultivation world.

No longer limited to offense and defense, it can be freely changed and adapted to the situation, allowing for the customization of the most suitable fire-based attack techniques according to needs.

It has even reached the point where one's natal flying sword and natal magic weapon have become mere icing on the cake.

The teleportation ability that Wang Wu once dreamed of but has yet to master seems to be of little use now.

Because he can use Fire Release, theoretically, traversing 100,000 miles in a second shouldn't be too difficult.

Of course, in reality, unless it's an extremely urgent situation, he probably wouldn't do that. It's too extravagant; playing it once would consume 10,000 points of Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy.

The best way is still to transmit via the Hidden Element Bell.

Without the Hidden Yuan Bell, the Demon Wind Escape Technique from the Innate Bloodline System is the best choice for daily travel, as it offers excellent value for money.

If all else fails, flying with one's natal sword is also acceptable.

In short, the Fire Spirit Pill is too powerful to be displayed.

"Huh? Where is everyone?"

When Wang Wu arrived at Madam Yu's cave, he found that the gaming expert was not there, but her game was still running normally.

The original small mountain village has been transformed into a small county town after nearly eighty years of development.

With a permanent population of around 50,000, its influence extends to a radius of thousands of miles.

They even unlocked a hidden map, featuring a small cultivation sect called the Six Yang Sect.

Currently, six local young people are studying there.

Wang Wu had only glanced at it casually when he discovered that the game was suffering from a drought, with the sun blazing down and the land almost completely parched.

But then, Madam Yu disappeared again.
These guys are all all talk and no action, always starting new games and then abandoning old ones!

Wang Wu complained, and a wisp of divine thought flew out, only to see Madam Yu in Dragon Head City, talking to Snake Nineteen.

Hmm, so Da Ya has fallen for a handsome young man?
Well, he couldn't be bothered with this, no wonder Mrs. Yu suddenly stopped playing games.

At that moment, Wang Wu casually observed it for a moment.

They discovered that while the ordinary people in that small county town were producing goods to save themselves, they were also sending people to seek help from the Six Yang Sect.

This solution is pretty good. So, what do the game controllers need to do?

Hmm, let me look for it... Oh, it's here.

With the arrival of the Lesser Heat solar term, the heat is unbearable, and there is a suspicion that fire-evil insects are roaming around.

Lesser Heat? Fire-killing insects?

Wang Wu immediately perked up; he was now extremely vulnerable to these things.

It's a pity that you can't enter the game's array; you can only control it remotely. Otherwise, wouldn't it be great to catch some fire worms?
Wait a minute? There are similar options, too.

After searching for a while, Wang Wu actually found an operating mode.

"Trials on Earth?"

"The drought in the territory can be resolved through the trial of the secret realm."

"You need to face five Fire Fiend Insects. If you successfully defeat them, the drought in your territory will end, and you will receive a hidden reward?"

"You can participate yourself or invite friends, but once you're on stage, you'll face real life and death!"

Wang Wu frowned slightly. This didn't seem like a casual game to kill time; it had changed and was more like a pay-to-win game.

However, on the other hand, since it's a training array for the Three Realms, it's only natural that it would become a pay-to-win game.

Thinking of this, he didn't delay and directly used the mortal trial.

He resolved the matter and then, depending on the situation, decided to advise Mrs. Yu whether she could continue playing.
However, just in case, Wang Wu still plucked out a top-grade hair and left a wisp of divine thought to handle daily affairs.

After making the choice, the familiar white light of teleportation lit up on the array plate.

This is ridiculous! They've descended to earth and gotten so into a game that they're completely immersed in it.

Huh?
Just as Wang Wu was about to step into the white light of teleportation, he saw several lines of information appear on the array plate.

Your competitor spent 30 million units of spiritual energy to force you to lose.

If you continue to descend to the mortal realm for trials, it will be considered that you agree to all the trial rules.

If you lose the trial, your territory will become a subordinate of the other territory, or you will have to pay 30 million battle spirit energy.

If you were to die, that would truly be an unfortunate event.

If you can win this trial, you will receive a reward of 20 million Dou of Spiritual Energy.

What do you mean?
A game meant only for killing time has changed operators? Are they trying to force players to spend money?

Wang Wu blinked, delighted that he had met these lovely and generous friends as soon as he came out of the pass.

Thank you very much!
With a thought, Wang Wu transformed into the form of Bai Yu and stepped into the teleportation light.

The next second, he found himself in a scorching wasteland.

Good heavens, the sky was ablaze! There was no vegetation or rivers left on the ground, because even the mountains were burning and turned into lava, flowing everywhere.

The temperature is at least three thousand degrees Celsius.

It truly lives up to its name as Lesser Heat; it rivals even Lesser Cold in its significance.

As Wang Wu expressed these sentiments, he instantly entered a state of passive concealment.

However, he soon felt something was wrong, because there was a rather strange heat wave in the area, moving around randomly like a flowing wind.

Without a doubt, this strange heat wave is the culprit.

In addition, this strange heat wave continuously absorbs the surrounding heat, thus maintaining the temperature of the entire environment at around three thousand degrees.

This is quite deceptive, since a temperature of 3,000 degrees Celsius is only life-threatening for mortals and ordinary cultivators, but in reality, cultivators of the third rank and above can basically ignore it.

Then, you will fall directly into the trap.

Because the temperature inside this bizarre heatwave starts at 100,000 degrees Celsius.

Wang Wu had just been careless and brushed past a strange heat wave. He himself didn't feel anything, but his passive concealment seemed to have been breached, and for a moment, he revealed a little of his true form.

Even if it's just a dozen or so tiny dots, the size of a grain of rice, it's already equivalent to being passively concealed and rendered ineffective.

Almost at that moment, more than twenty small red dots focused directly on Wang Wu. At first glance, it looked like a laser aiming, but in reality, it was like a strange curse or some kind of lock.

From all directions, waves of eerie heat surged in, completely surrounding Wang Wu.

This change was both swift and bizarre. Wang Wu did try to dodge, and he did try to use the Demon Wind Escape Technique, but no matter how he dodged or how fast he flew, he still couldn't avoid it.

In just one second, his defense was breached!

Even a level six invulnerable body cannot withstand this level of high temperature.

Especially after these strange heat waves combined, the temperature was rapidly approaching 300,000 degrees Celsius.

Got it!
No need to test anymore, the answer is out. Relying solely on the innate bloodline system is not enough. Only by raising the Invincible Body to level 15 or above can it be effectively blocked.

At this moment, Wang Wu quietly circulated his Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy, and a seemingly ordinary flame silently lit up. It first flowed calmly throughout his body, as if he were wearing a very well-fitting fire armor.

Not too much, not too little, just enough to block that strange heat wave.

It's outrageously easy!
This is a random version of the Flame Shield; it no longer needs to adhere to any particular form.

When the mood strikes, one can do whatever one pleases, with endless variations, all perfectly timed.

I will never show how great I am, but I will always be a tiny bit better than you.

This feeling of relaxation is intoxicating and captivating.

And the difference is already apparent now.

Faced with the same strange heatwave, the Five Demon Pills, with their innate bloodline system, might need to exert all their strength and pay a huge price to resist and escape.

The Fire Spirit Pill didn't even activate one-tenth of its power, yet it easily blocked the strange heat wave.

Moreover, it only consumes 100 points of Crimson Flame Spiritual Energy per second, which is actually equivalent to 3200 points of ordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

To be honest, even Wang Wu was surprised by the amount of energy consumed.

Then he immediately realized that the problem was that the Fire Spirit Pill was of too high a grade, so he felt it was just right.

But in reality, it has already formed a dimensional reduction attack.

Don't be fooled by his ability to convert 32 points of ordinary spiritual energy into one point of level six crimson flame spiritual energy; behind it all lies the support of two incomplete Creation Golden Books, 400 million points of spiritual energy, the Greatest Covenant Pill, the full support of his innate bloodline system, and a series of hard-won efforts.

These are things that even a billion points of spiritual energy couldn't buy back.
