5 Chapter 5: Kirin Saintess, Seeking Divine Medicine

Great Yan divine territory, Nangong family, in an attic.

A woman was sitting cross-legged on a futon. Her body was shrouded in moonlight, making it difficult to see her clearly.

She was the Kirin Saintess of the Nangong family, Nangong Yue.

Knock, knock...

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Saintess."

The moonlight on Nangong Yue's body disappeared, revealing a face that could topple countries and cities. Two shallow dimples appeared on her face, making her look extremely sweet.

As she stood up, her slender figure was revealed. She was like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world, so beautiful that it couldn't be described with words.

"Tiange, I've broken through again. Don't tell me you've fallen behind?" The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth curled up.

"Saintess."

Another sound came from outside the door.

"Come in," Nangong Yue said.

Creak...

The door opened, and an old woman walked in.

Haggard, she looked as if she had a thousand words to say. For a moment, she didn't know where to begin.

"Saintess..."

"Grandma, look, I've broken through again. What's the matter?" Nangong Yue asked.

"Saintess, calm down first. Don't be agitated."

After thinking for a while, the old woman said seriously.

Hearing this, Nangong Yue's smile disappeared, and a sense of unease surged into her heart. She grabbed the old woman's arm and asked, "Did something happen to Tiange?"

"Sigh..."

The old woman sighed heavily and helped Nangong Yue to a chair. "Saintess, don't get agitated."

"Young Master Luo's cultivation base was crippled, his divine blood was stripped, and then he was thrown into the fiend suppression divine prison. This is what happened..."

"Boom!"

The old woman's words were like a bolt from the blue. She didn't hear a single word the old woman said after that.

Nangong Yue's chest stagnated, and the origin energy in her body circulated chaotically. She couldn't control herself and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Bleurgh...

Nangong Yue's face was deathly pale, and her face was filled with disbelief.

"Impossible, impossible..."

Bits and pieces of her past encounters with Luo Tiange surfaced in her mind.

From meeting to knowing, from being familiar to being in love, it was difficult to explain in a single sentence.

The two of them barged into the Dragon Pool, entered the forbidden zone, and experienced countless life and death situations. They held each other's hands and faced difficulties together.

Countless times, he had saved her from danger.

He was godlike, and she had made a promise to him for the rest of her life.

But today, she heard such a despairing piece of news.

Nangong Yue felt as if the sky was about to collapse, and her life had lost its meaning.

"Saintess, I'm sorry for your loss! After entering the Fiend Prison, I'm afraid that young master Luo has already..."

Seeing Nangong Yue's expression, the old woman could no longer continue speaking.

"It won't happen. He will definitely be fine."

"We agreed to step onto the divine path together, ignite the divine fire, and become a god!"

"Don't you remember this agreement?"

"Tiange..."

A long shout shook the pavilion in all directions, reverberating in the heavens and the earth.

Tears gushed out like a burst dam.

In her panic, Nangong Yue took out a jade-like round stone from her Qiankun Bag. The light on it was dim, and there wasn't the slightest bit of spirituality.

"Grandma, Look, the life talisman isn't broken. Tiange is fine!" Nangong Yue's eyes shone brightly.

"Saintess, the demon prison can block heaven's secrets, so it can't sense young Master Luo..."

The old woman couldn't bear to continue.

"Tiange will be fine. He has never broken his promise!"

Nangong Yue left behind an afterimage and left quickly.

"Saintess..."

The old woman quickly followed.

Nangong Yue came to the forbidden zone and knelt in front of an ancient hall.

"Patriarch, please give Yue'er a supreme divine medicine!"

The voice echoed in front of the hall.

"What do you want the Supreme Divine Medicine for?"

A majestic, old voice came from the hall.

"Patriarch, I want to use it to save lives," Nangong Yue answered truthfully.

"Is it to save Luo Tiange?"

"He was thrown into the demon dungeon, and there is no medicine left to save him."

The old voice sounded again.

"Patriarch, please give me a Supreme Divine Medicine!"

Nangong Yue had a determined look on her face. She knelt on the ground and had no intention of getting up.

"Sigh..."

A heavy sigh came from the main hall.

"Yue'er, do you know that there are only two supreme divine medicines? They are for you and Daozi to ignite the divine fire!"

"Yue'er knows."

"Then you can take them!"

After this sound was heard.

"Hu..."

A ray of multicolored light flew out from the hall. The light was boundless and illuminated the entire world.

A divine mushroom with divine power flowed into Nangong Yue's hand.

"Many thanks, Patriarch!"

After keeping the divine herb, Nangong Yue quickly left.

The old woman quickly followed. "Saintess, where are you going?"

"The demon suppression divine prison!" Nangong Yue said.

"Holy Maiden, that place is millions of miles away. I'm afraid it will take some time. Let's make some preparations," the old woman said.

"There's no need."

Nangong Yue soared into the sky.

In the ancient hall.

"Why did you give her the Supreme Divine Medicine?"

"If I didn't give it to her, her Daoist heart would be damaged. In the future, it would be difficult for her to advance any further. Our clan would lose a heaven's choice."

"What an unfortunate fate."

"Such a monster? How can the Luo clan be destroyed?"

"I'm afraid things aren't as simple as I thought. It looks like a storm is coming."

"Then what should we do?"

"Cultivate!"

.....

In the lava of the demon prison.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

The sounds of explosions continued.

Luo Tiange was fighting a thousand-foot-tall flaming Chi in a fierce battle.

The divine light on his body bloomed, like a ferocious beast in human form. He was so brazen that he couldn't speak.

Every time he was pushed back, he would attack again.

The divine blood in his body rippled, bringing with it the power of origin and flowing to every part of his body.

Boom! Boom!

The more he fought, the stronger Luo Tiange became.

Gradually, the flaming Chi was suppressed, and it suffered setbacks everywhere.

"D*mned ant. How dare you challenge my dignity."

The Inferno Dragon was furious it spat out an endless stream of true Samadhi flames that engulfed Luo Tiange up.

"So comfortable, so comfortable!"

Hearing this, the Inferno Dragon was so angry that its eyebrows were raised, and it roared again and again.

Its two claws were like two mountains, falling down rapidly.

"Just in time."

Luo Tiange's fighting spirit rose. With a kick of his hind legs, he stomped on the lava, causing it to vibrate up and down, stirring up thousands of layers of lava waves. It was blocked by the formation above and fell down.

He raised his fist and collided with the flaming dragon's claws.

Every punch would shake the surrounding space, causing the lava to ripple.

Every time they collided, Luo Tiange would be sent flying.

However, he would attack again.

"What kind of monster is this? Its body is so strong, there's no way I can kill it."

The more he fought, the more aggrieved the flaming chi became.

For the past half a month, he had been fighting with this monster every day.

Every time he blasted the monster half to death, he would soon be full of vigor and vitality.

Now, he was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't take it anymore.

"If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The flaming dragon roared angrily, opened its mouth, and spat out a white bead.

As soon as the bead was spat out, the air around it distorted.

The scorching temperature caused the entire lava to evaporate rapidly.

Even if Luo Tiange was far enough, he could still feel the power that could burn everything down.

"The power contained in this bead is probably even more terrifying than the divine fire!"

Luo Tiange's eyes shone with a bright light.

Without thinking, he rushed forward.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the bead.

"Zi..."

However, his hand turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His entire body was also burning rapidly. This bead was completely untouchable.

Under the circulation of the origin energy, Luo Tiange's physical body returned to normal.

"The strength of my physical body has grown much slower. It seems like it's about to reach its limit."

"That's all for today. We'll continue tomorrow!"

Luo Tiange took a step forward and leaped up from the lava, returning to the shore.

The Inferno Hornus retrieved the bead and looked at Luo Tiange with a face full of fear.

Its huge body slowly sank down, and the lava returned to its calm state.

"After half a month of battle, the strength of my single arm has already exceeded 20,000 km. Even a pureblooded Primordial Beast Cub is far inferior to me."

"Sigh, I just can't go out."

"That's fine. I'll stay here until I'm invincible before I go out!"

"Now, I can break through to the next realm!"

Luo Tiange muttered to himself as he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.

Hu...

Suddenly, there was a sound from behind.

.....
