Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

Chapter 62 Eliminating Hidden Dangers

High in the sky, Luo Qianqiu looked at the sinkhole in the barren land and was very satisfied with the power of his punch.

After testing his own combat power, he summoned the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire and let it display its divine power.

"Boom!"

The bronze furnace trembled, and divine flames surged within its body, like a volcanic eruption, exuding a powerful aura.

Luo Qianqiu's divine power surged, and the bronze furnace grew larger in the wind, quickly transforming into a small mountain. It crashed down with a deafening roar, filling the sky with terrifying flames, and even the void itself was burned and collapsed.

"Bang!"

Another deafening roar resounded, as if a raging dragon was rolling beneath the earth. The ground shook violently, and massive cracks appeared, extending for dozens of miles in all directions, causing the ground to collapse significantly.

This strike was extremely powerful, far more so than the punch Luo Qianqiu had just delivered.

Then, he activated the bronze furnace, opened the lid, and released a raging divine flame that burned one mountain peak after another to dust, its power ridiculously strong.

But that's not all. When the divine furnace was pushed to its limit, the engravings on the furnace body came to life.

A dazzling array of five-colored divine light shone forth, the bronze furnace gleaming like crystal. A great sun detached from the furnace and hung in the sky, unleashing terrifying divine flames with unbridled abandon. Then, the divine birds also revived, transforming into phoenixes bathed in the divine flames.

The phoenix is ​​lifelike, with its wings spread wide, and every feather looks real, exuding an ancient and primordial aura.

They circled the sun, their phoenix cries echoing through the heavens, clear and melodious, as if they had truly flown out of mythology and appeared in this world.

"What terrifying power! If it hits, even a Supreme Elder of the First Heaven of the Sendai Realm would be burned to ashes," Luo Qianqiu exclaimed after sensing it for a moment.

Having the memories of the Crocodile Ancestor, he knew the strength of the Supreme Elder, who absolutely could not withstand the full eruption of the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire.

Without a doubt, this is an absolute trump card; if used properly, it could allow him to defeat the Supreme Elder.

Of course, having that ability is one thing, but its effectiveness in actual combat is unknown. After all, the Supreme Elders aren't like cabbages lying on the roadside waiting to be harvested.

Beings of that level possess astonishing divine senses; upon sensing danger, they wouldn't stand there foolishly trying to withstand it.

But Luo Qianqiu was not disappointed. In any case, he could now be considered a threat to that level.

Just like a child, even if he swings his fist fiercely, an adult won't take him seriously. But if he holds an extremely sharp knife, even if he moves slowly, an adult will have to carefully dodge it as long as he swings it, instead of trying to catch the blade with his bare hands.

Because the former cannot harm him, while the latter truly possesses the power to harm him.

Luo Qianqiu controlled the bronze furnace, put away the Great Sun and the Phoenix, and did not launch this attack, because the power of this attack was too terrifying, and if it were launched, the commotion would be beyond imagination.

As the morning sun rose, Luo Qianqiu returned to the stone house.

Lin Jia, who had been waiting, quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "What happened to you last night? You looked so pained?"

Clearly, she had been living in fear all night, and even with her cultivation, she looked quite tired.

"Don't worry, I'm not only fine, but I've also gained a lot," Luo Qianqiu reassured him.

"Really, you're not saying this just because you don't want me to worry, are you?" Lin Jia was still a little worried because the pain Luo Qianqiu showed last night was too obvious.

Seeing that Lin Jia didn't believe him, Luo Qianqiu immediately explained helplessly, "I'm really fine. The strange thing that happened last night was because of that bronze furnace. It awakened the bloodline in my body. The process was very painful, but the gains were also really great."

"Bloodline power?!" Lin Jia was puzzled.

Luo Qianqiu nodded and said, "I think there are cultivators on Earth, but they don't appear in the mortal world. Perhaps one of my ancestors was an extremely powerful cultivator. By chance, thanks to the Divine Furnace of the Departing Fire, my bloodline power has been revived, and my strength has reached a new level."

As he spoke, he released a wisp of his aura, a terrifying aura that permeated the air. Even though it wasn't directed at Lin Jia, it still made her hold her breath, as if she were facing a real dragon cub.

The aura was released only for a moment, then disappeared immediately, but even so, it took Lin Jia a while to suppress that instinctive sense of horror.

"So, you're really alright, and you've actually become stronger because of it." Lin Jia's worries disappeared, and she was pleasantly surprised.

"Not only that, the awakening of my bloodline power has also made my talent even better," Luo Qianqiu said truthfully.

Aside from time travel and the control panel, Luo Qianqiu rarely hid anything from Lin Jia.

Since he was familiar with the plot, which was naturally related to time travel, he did not tell the other party that he had awakened the bloodline of the Yan Emperor.

Because if this matter were to be revealed, it would inevitably uncover the earth-shattering secret that Emperor Yan was a spirit communicating with the corpse of Emperor Hengyu.

This matter is too important to be discussed lightly, for a slight misstep could cause a turmoil that could affect the entire universe.

Therefore, Luo Qianqiu only said that he had awakened the bloodline of a peerless powerhouse, but did not mention the news of Emperor Yan.

"That's great! This way, we'll have a much better chance of surviving the Purple Mansion Holy Land's pursuit in the future." Lin Jia didn't care who the powerful figure was; she only knew that the stronger Luo Qianqiu was, the safer the two of them would be.

Luo Qianqiu chuckled and nodded without saying anything. After a moment, he said, "I'm planning to take you to Zishan with me. Are you scared?"

"Me too?" Lin Jia was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "But isn't there only one Stone Armor?"

Luo Qianqiu raised his hand and summoned the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire. The one-inch-tall bronze furnace appeared in his palm, its five-colored glazed light shining brightly and dazzlingly.

"This is an incomparably powerful magical artifact, containing astonishing laws. I will take you into its furnace, so that you can enter Purple Mountain with me."

"It's not just that, is it?" Lin Jia knew there must be other reasons.

She knew Luo Qianqiu well; if given a choice, he would never take her with him on his adventure into Zishan, but would instead have her stay in Shizhai and wait for his return.

Now, Luo Qianqiu actually wants to take her into Zishan. There's only one possibility: he thinks it might be more dangerous for her to stay outside than to enter Zishan.

"There are indeed other reasons." Luo Qianqiu did not deny it and said truthfully, "My entry into Zishan this time may take some time. During this time, if a divination master predicts your location, you will be locked in an instant."

As he spoke, he looked at the Divine Furnace of Departing Fire and continued, "This divine furnace contains powerful laws, and it was once just a divine object covered in dust. By chance, because of my bloodline, it has begun to revive and regain its former glory. If you hide inside, and a divination master dares to make calculations, not only will they not get any clues, but they may even be punished by heaven."

This is no exaggeration. If the Great Dao of Hengyu had been dormant before the revival, the Heavenly Masters would not have suffered any backlash.

But things are different now. The Divine Furnace of Fire is on the verge of revival, and the Imperial Laws within it are gradually becoming active.

If a diviner dares to make a prediction, it will inevitably cause a backlash from the laws of the Emperor's Way. At best, they will vomit blood and shorten their lifespan; at worst, they will be struck by lightning.

The hidden dangers that used to give Luo Qianqiu a headache have now finally been eliminated.

"If that's the case, then what do I have to be afraid of? Anyway, with the divine furnace protecting me, I won't encounter any danger," Lin Jia said with a smile.

Luo Qianqiu embraced the beautiful woman before him, feeling a mix of emotions.

Those words were spoken lightly, but is that really the case?

If he is unharmed, Lin Jia will naturally not be hurt in any way, but if he is killed in Zishan, Lin Jia will not have a chance to survive.

Lin Jia couldn't possibly have been unaware of this; her willingness to go with him was, in fact, a willingness to entrust her life to Luo Qianqiu.

"Don't worry, I'm not tired of living. If things become unbearable, I'll withdraw in time. But that would mean you'd have to stay in the furnace for a while," Luo Qianqiu said softly.

"Mmm." Lin Jia responded softly, greedily inhaling Luo Qianqiu's scent.

After a long while, she finally said, "Take me in. That way, everything will be truly foolproof."

"it is good."

Luo Qianqiu released Lin Jia, and as divine power surged, the Fire Furnace grew larger, its five-colored divine light flashing, and its lid opened wide.

This time, however, there was no raging divine flame, only a misty, five-colored divine power spreading out.

The furnace opening is bottomless, and its interior seems to contain a universe. Upon closer inspection, one can even spot some points of light, like stars in the night sky.

Lin Jia looked at the bronze furnace and stepped inside without any hesitation.

Then, with a clang, the lid of the bronze furnace fell down and sealed itself onto the furnace, the two fitting together perfectly as one, crystal clear, exquisite and magnificent.

Like their masters, the other imperial weapons of the Eastern Wilderness evoke a sense of antiquity and solemnity when mentioned.

However, when it came to Emperor Hengyu, the style changed completely, becoming almost as extravagant as possible.

Whether it's the Fire God Furnace, the Sun God Furnace, or the Goddess Furnace that Emperor Hengyu forged for his friend on the ancient Ziwei Star, they are almost all magnificently crafted.

The latter, in particular, is described as a reclining, peerless beauty.

Such a weapon perfectly matches Hengyu's dashing and debonair personality.

In short, you need to be powerful and handsome too!

After commenting on the aesthetics of their ancestors, Luo Qianqiu said that he also liked them very much.

Fortunately, his Thousand Autumn Mace is also quite good. If he has the opportunity in the future, he will tame a powerful mount.

When the time comes, the horse will trample across the stars, and the mace will strike the eight wastelands of the universe. It will be as cool as you can be.

Luo Qianqiu put the bronze furnace into the Taoist palace, then chatted with Master Zhang for a few words before heading towards Purple Mountain.

Following Master Zhang's guidance, Luo Qianqiu arrived at the dragon vein to the due east. It was from here that Zhang Jiye entered Zishan a thousand years ago.

His primordial spirit was incredibly powerful, and his divine sense extended outwards, quickly discovering a mine.

Luo Qianqiu took out the stone armor and put it on. After confirming that his aura was completely locked, he entered the ancient mine and headed deeper into it.

Knowing there was no danger in the ancient mine, he moved very quickly.

Of course, even so, it still didn't make a sound.

But there is a creature in the darkness that uses echolocation to locate itself. Even if you don't make a sound, as long as you move, it can pinpoint your location.

After venturing several miles into the ancient mine, Luo Qianqiu encountered this creature, which was two meters tall, covered in gray animal fur, and had fleshy wings, resembling a giant humanoid bat.

This is a subterranean creature called the Demon Bat, a descendant of a powerful bat demon, but its bloodline is pitifully thin and it has little intelligence.

That's why it dared to attack Luo Qianqiu, without considering the disparity in strength between the two.

Luo Qianqiu didn't even make a move; with just a glance, his powerful divine sense, like two celestial swords, directly annihilated its divine sense.

With a "thud," the demon bat crashed to the ground with a dull thud. Its body was unharmed and even showed signs of life, twitching slightly, but its consciousness had been shattered and its life force severed.

In the darkness, Luo Qianqiu continued his rapid advance into the depths, encountering another demonic bat, even more powerful than the previous one, but meeting the same fate.

Soon, Luo Qianqiu ventured more than twenty miles into the ancient mine and saw the engraving of Wushi suppressing Zishan.

He didn't linger, only glanced at it briefly, and then continued on his way.

After all, he knew the cause and effect of what happened in the engraving, so he wasn't really curious about it.

The hundreds of engravings can be summarized in just two sentences: Wushi attacked the stronghold of the Immortal Emperor, hoping to force him to show himself for a battle.
