Inside the volcano.

Jiang Chen slightly squinted his eyes, his skin already turned fiery red.

Violent fire path energy surged wildly into Jiang Chen's body, its rate of flow increasingly worrying the people around!

Within Jiang Chen's sea of consciousness.

A cluster of rampant fiery energy was slowly gathering above the divine infant, yet contrary to what everyone expected outside, this violent energy didn't rampage and harm Jiang Chen's sea of consciousness, but obediently floated in the air under the suppression of the Town Soul Stele.

"Next, it's time to temper the primordial spirit!"

Jiang Chen's divine infant glanced at the violent energy above his head, slowly closed his eyes.

Buzz!

The divine infant trembled slightly, a phantom shadow emerged from within, upon close inspection, it was a thumb-sized phantom identical to Jiang Chen.

This was the primordial spirit transformed by Jiang Chen's divine soul after breaking through the divine infant realm.

If others saw the appearance of Jiang Chen's primordial spirit, they would surely be astonished!

A cultivator who just broke through to the divine infant realm only possesses a cluster of phantom energy as their primordial spirit, and it takes a peak divine infant realm cultivator to achieve the appearance of their true form. Primordial spirit power is exceedingly difficult to cultivate, relying only on the continuous cleansing and tempering by the power of the great Dao.

But Jiang Chen, being at the divine infant realm early stage, had achieved a primordial spirit of such level, which was truly surprising!

Jiang Chen's primordial spirit was much more substantial than other cultivators, owing to its dense divine soul.

Looking back, it was due to the cleansing and tempering by ancestral dragon qi and blood frenzy dragon qi when he was merely a normal soul, making his soul power immensely robust.

Step by step, he cultivated by absorbing numerous divine souls through his true dragon martial spirit, even though most of the soul force was given to others, his divine soul remained always filled, hence when he broke through to the divine infant realm, his primordial spirit was exceptionally substantial!

After glancing at the violent energy, Jiang Chen's primordial spirit gritted its teeth and rushed straight into the violent energy cluster.

As soon as Jiang Chen's primordial spirit entered the wild energy, he instantly felt a wrenching and violent burning sensation from deep within his soul.

The feeling was as if he were being roasted over a fire while simultaneously being torn apart.

The primordial spirit, representing the soul, endures a pain sensation a hundred times greater than the physical body.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was enduring pain akin to the soul-tearing sensation faced at the initial encounter with the divine lock chain!

Hmm!

Three muffled groans interweaved, and with Jiang Chen's temperament, he couldn't help but utter a sound; his primordial spirit trembled violently, his divine infant trembled fiercely, and his body trembled intensely.

"What's happening?!"

"What's happening to Junior Brother Jiang?!"

"This isn't right!"

"Did he suffer a sea of consciousness injury?!"

The people cultivating in the volcano looked at Jiang Chen within the red mist with eyes full of concern.

At the moment, Jiang Chen's handsome face was completely twisted, appearing ferocious, with white mist constantly emanating from his head, his body soaked in cold sweat, which was dried by the volcano's scorching temperature only to get soaked again, turning completely red, and waves of intense heat radiated from his body.

"Instructor Lin, did something happen to him?!"

Fire Phoenix saw Jiang Chen's painful expression, hurriedly tugged Instructor Lin beside him.

Instructor Lin had been watching Jiang Chen since entering the volcano, and seeing Jiang Chen's current state, his brows slightly furrowed.

Could he really not have any reliance and just be acting impulsively?

Instructor Lin began to wonder, showing hesitation in his eyes given Jiang Chen's calm and composed demeanor while fighting an Integration Realm Peak stronghold in the past.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's slightly trembling body shook intensely, flames erupted from his body, the flames seemed to surge outward, growing fiercer the more they burned!

"Not good!"

Instructor Lin's face changed, and he swiftly leaped into the volcano, followed by other instructors heading towards Jiang Chen.

"Do not touch him!"

An elderly shout echoed, and Sang Zhenye suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chen, waving his hand to block the incoming instructors with a gentle force.

"Elder Sang?!"

"Greetings Elder Sang!"

"Salutations Elder Sang!"

Upon seeing Sang Zhenye appear, both instructors and students bowed respectfully.

Swoosh!

"Master!"

A figure flashed, Fire Phoenix appeared beside Sang Zhenye, glanced at Jiang Chen, and worriedly asked, "Master, what happened to him?"

"He's fine, he's tempering his primordial spirit!"

Sang Zhenye looked at Fire Phoenix strangely.

He knew his disciple well, despite her usual enticing attire and words, her inner self was exceedingly cold. Her alluring facade was merely a guise.

Yet now, the genuine concern reflected in Fire Phoenix's eyes left Sang Zhenye quite surprised.

"Tempering his primordial spirit?!"

Fire Phoenix's heart trembled, exclaiming outwardly.

"What?!"

"Jiang Chen is utilizing this energy to temper his primordial spirit?"

"Is he planning to become a Pill Master? He dares to have talent for being a Pill Master?! That's exceedingly terrifying!"

"Tempering the primordial spirit… That sort of pain isn't something everyone can endure!"

The crowd looked shocked at Jiang Chen's trembling figure, eyes widened in disbelief.

"This boy is quite ruthless!"

Sang Zhenye felt the fluctuating waves emanating from Jiang Chen's body, showing a trace of shock: "This guy, he is actually tempering the entire primordial spirit, this... is he crazy?"

"What?! Tempering the entire primordial spirit?!"

Fire Phoenix's face changed drastically, hurriedly exclaimed, "Teacher, how could you let him temper the entire primordial spirit? Tempering requires gradual refinement, tempering the entire spirit… Easily leads to the destruction of the primordial spirit!"

"What do you mean I let him temper the entire spirit, I..."

Sang Zhenye suddenly froze there, reflecting carefully, expressing astonishment.

I think I didn't tell him that tempering the primordial spirit requires gradual refinement, he... he also doesn't know this!

Heart skipped a beat, Sang Zhenye looked at Fire Phoenix with some guilt, seeing she didn't notice, he slightly relaxed, turned to Jiang Chen with a bitter smile.

Mr. Jiang! You must not fail!

This tempering of the primordial spirit cannot be interrupted midway, not really, others can, but you just can't!

Being interrupted midway at most extinguishes the thread of primordial spirit being tempered, but for you... It would result in the complete obliteration of the primordial spirit.

Alas!

Sighing silently, Sang Zhenye's elderly face filled with bitterness.

If it's due to my lacking this information, and you facing mishap, I wouldn't just have an uneasy conscience, Hu Yiqiu would never let it go either!
