Translator: Tamon Translation Checker: Silavin [My Undying Phoenix is too inferior and unworthy of Senior.] Chen Changan stayed silent, though inwardly grateful to his team for setting up the stage. It was the only way to make the Scarlet Province Lord put his request to rest. Who knew what other ways he’d think of to get Chen Changan’s help? Chen Changan smiled. Scarlet Province Lord sighed. The Undying Phoenix was precious to everyone else but Senior. [And I wanted to give it to him in exchange for Senior’s help with the Immortal Treasure.] He felt he lost all rights to ask for help. [Nothing but wishful thinking.] Chen Changan spoke, “Scarlet Province Lord, helping with the Immortal Treasure isn’t impossible, but it will take some time. If you find me dependable, leave it with me and visit my abode on Soaring Immortal Mountain a month later.” Scarlet Province Lord was brought back from the brink of crippling sadness, smiling, “I believe you, Senior. I’ll leave it to you.” Chen Changan glanced at the palm-sized furnace ebbing with a powerful aura, like a sleeping volcano on the brink of eruption. Chen Changan took it in his hand, and the furnace exploded with light and Immortal Energy. The sleeping volcano awoke! The inexhaustible Immortal Energy flowed out in waves, drowning the Continent Assembly. [The Immortal Treasure recovered just like that?] A roar came from the copper furnace as an Immortal Monkey of flames came out, savage and wild. The cultivators were stumped. Chen Changan’s thought, [The heck?!] His first instinct was to activate Special Effects. A sudden and unstoppable power erupted, turning him into a god, an Immortal of no equal. “Beast, kneel!” The flaming Immortal Monkey planned on scaring them for a bit longer, but it showed fear in its eyes, replacing the savagery from before as he kneeled like a good boy. The people stammered. “The flaming Immortal Monkey must be the Immortal Treasure’s Spirit, but it’s kneeling at a word from Senior!” “He’s so strong!” “Only Senior could do it.” “That’s why Senior could refine that Immortal Treasure.” The Artifact Spirit submitted, and Chen Changan knew there’d be no point in taking the Immortal Treasure to his Absolute Domain. He said to Scarlet Province Lord. “With the capitulation of the Artifact Spirit, it saved me the trouble. Feel free to refine it now.” The Lord was thrilled. “Thank you so much, Senior.” Under Special Effects’ might, Scarlet Province Lord’s refining of the copper furnace was a done deal, with the crowd watching in envy. [Senior is Senior, helping Scarlet Province Lord refine an Immortal Treasure just like that.] The enchantress from the Verdant Province was curious about Chen Changan. [He’s skills are unfathomable, but he is not an Upper Realm’s recultivating genius. The things he did can’t be done by a Dao Protector either. Just who is he?] It went beyond her understanding how a no-name Lower Realm housed such an incredible being that even she could not grasp the full extent of his power. The Continent Assembly resumed. Chen Changan’s cheap skills had everyone convinced, filling them with admiration, respect, and worship. Chen Changan was the life of the party. All became peaceful, and, as the meeting approached its end, Chen Changan breathed easier. The gathering sure was bustling, but not to his liking. He rather enjoyed living his days carefree. The cultivators had nothing but praise for him, talking carefully, but all their talks were dull. As the gathering was close to the end, Chen Changan no longer interacted with them, drinking and eating by himself as he waited for the finish to go home. But the sudden Demonic cloud taking over the skies botched his plans. The thick, dark energy fell on the Continent Assembly like a mountain, while the creepy jeers completed this painting of terror. They all felt uneasy, knowing that things had taken a turn for the worse.
