He had only wanted to casually test how strong his punch was.
Who would have thought it would generate a shockwave powerful enough to shake the formation guarding the Sacred Emperor's chamber?
Fortunately, the formation was designed to defend against external attacks—otherwise, he would have been in real trouble.
Seeing that Zhu Chen had already broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm, the Fire Emperor did not scold him further. Instead, he sensed the number of Cave Heavens Zhu Chen had opened.
"Opening two Cave Heavens immediately after breaking through—not bad."
Only "not bad" for opening two Cave Heavens?
How narrow-minded.
Zhu Chen couldn't help curling his lips.
When Huo Ling'er heard that Zhu Chen had reached the Cave Heaven Realm, her young face filled with astonishment.
She hurried over, grabbed his arm and pinched it, then circled behind him to inspect him carefully.
"Zhu Chen, how on earth do you cultivate? How are you so fast? Did Father secretly give you something good again? Hurry up and tell me!"
"Well… His Majesty the Fire Emperor has indeed helped me quite a lot."
Zhu Chen nodded noncommittally.
He had always remembered the care the Fire Emperor had shown him over the years.
And because of that, he had already decided
No matter how many women followed him in the future,
Huo Ling'er would be the principal consort.
(Fire Emperor: Thank you very much.)
"Hmph! I knew it. This princess has outstanding talent and also carries the Vermilion Bird bloodline.
If Father hadn't given all the resources to you, I'd already be in the Cave Heaven Realm!"
Huo Ling'er crossed her arms and glared at Zhu Chen defiantly.
Zhu Chen knew she was sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, so he didn't mind.
In truth, the Fire Emperor doted on his daughter immensely.
He had given Huo Ling'er many treasures over the years.
But every time she accepted something, she would first ask, "Does Zhu Chen already have this?"
If Zhu Chen had it, she would take it.
If Zhu Chen didn't, she would deliberately find reasons to dislike it and have the Fire Emperor give it to Zhu Chen instead.
The Fire Emperor had long been helpless about this.
"Here—this is for you."
Zhu Chen grabbed Huo Ling'er's soft hand and placed a bottle of Golden Body Liquid into her palm.
"Golden Body Liquid? Isn't this something Father gave you? Why are you giving it to me? No, no, I can't take this! Father will beat me to death!"
Huo Ling'er hurriedly tried to stuff it back into Zhu Chen's hand.
Zhu Chen smiled lightly.
"I'm already in the Cave Heaven Realm. The Golden Body Liquid isn't very useful to me anymore. But you're still in the Blood
Transmutation Realm—this will help you far more."
He pressed it back into her hand.
Watching these two kids pass around such a priceless treasure, the Fire Emperor's mouth twitched.
Outside, the Golden Body Liquid would cause countless people to fight to the death.
Yet these two were practically refusing it.
In reality, the Golden Body Liquid could temper the physical body at any realm.
But Zhu Chen now had a Flesh-Dao incarnation constantly refining his body with heaven-and-earth essence—far more effective than the Golden Body Liquid—so he no longer needed it.
Under Zhu Chen's insistence, Huo Ling'er—who rarely used valuable resources on herself—finally accepted the bottle.
Then Zhu Chen took out another item and handed it to her.
The Burning Technique.
This was an Emperor-grade fire cultivation method from the Battle Through the Heavens world.
Huo Ling'er cultivated fire-attribute divine arts, making this technique a perfect match for her.
Zhu Chen himself also cultivated the Burning Technique.
He had already integrated his Vermilion Bird Divine Flame into it, upgrading it from Yellow-rank Low-grade to Heaven-rank Low-grade, causing his spiritual power to surge dramatically.
Clearly, his innate Vermilion Bird flame surpassed most Heavenly Flames of the Doupo world.
Otherwise, the technique could not have advanced so drastically.
The Desolate Region was merely one of the eight lower-realm cages....its laws incomplete, its resources scarce.
Though the Burning Technique was not top-tier here, its ability to evolve by absorbing divine flames still shocked both Huo Ling'er and the Fire Emperor.
Neither of them expected Zhu Chen to possess such a treasure.
