Chapter 1668: The True Origin of Fire
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing two Jiang Chens appear in front of them, Shen Xingchen and the others were pretty shocked .
However, they didn’t show it on their faces . They, like lots of other people, already knew that Jiang Chen possessed a practicing body .
Now the miserable state of the practicing body made them wonder what enemy he’d faced to be in such a state .
While the practicing body had been busy, a group of people had followed the Fire Kylin in their search for the origin of fire .
They were walking on the edge of a cliff, and, in front of them, there was an abyss .
“I can guarantee that the spot we’re looking for is right down there,” said the Fire Kylin .
Jiang Chen didn’t seem to be listening to the Fire Kylin . His thoughts were still on the black robed man .
“Let’s go down and look for it . ” Noticing that Jiang Chen looked troubled, Shen Xingchen took charge and made a decision .
The abyss was in total darkness, which was good news, because that meant that there were no fire monsters here .
Yang Zong gathered an energy wave and blasted it toward the abyss . It surged through the abyss, making a great deal of noise, but there were still so signs of those pesky fire monsters .
Therefore, they decided to go ahead and explore the abyss .
Jiang Chen let out a long breath . Words couldn’t express his feelings . The formation of a crack had resulted in the arrival of the blood race . This sounded very serious, but, in reality, it wasn’t .
Jiang Chen assumed that the crack must be extremely small, only allowing one member of the blood race to come out at a time .
Otherwise, since all the other races were unified, why hadn’t there been any rumors or sightings of the blood race at all .
However, no matter what kind of spin you put on it, the blood race had invaded again . This meant that a catastrophe was coming soon .
Especially now that one of his practicing bodies had been killed, he felt rather uneasy .
He’d managed to resist the palm strike of the black robed man . However, the thing that had struck Jiang Chen the most was that the opponent’s palm strength ignored defense, and it had no apparent destructive force . Yet, it had the ability to make someone wither away . It was really incredible .
“Was this the blood race’s new means of offense?”
The strength of the blood race was that they could easily learn and steal the powers of every race .
Martial techniques, sorcery, spirit methods, and more could all be practiced by the blood race .
However, to be considered a race, it must also possess its own power system .
Unfortunately, his eight groups of spiritual beings were not around . Jiang Chen really wanted to have a talk and clear things up with the Evil Blood Emperor .
Soon, he stopped pondering and adjusted his mood . Then he jumped into the abyss and began to search with everyone else .
Not long after, Wen Qing made a discovery . Near a precipice, there was a dilapidated palace . Even the panels on the main door were gone .
The whole palace looked as if it had been occupied by a giant . The broken main door had been enlarged so that it was big enough to accommodate a horse carriage .
Jiang Chen and the others entered by the main door . Immediately they came across a hall lined with stone pillars that were tens of yards tall .
If the palace hadn’t been falling down and almost destroyed, this would have been a magnificent sight .
The Fire Kylin, who was walking in the front leading the way, came to the center of the palace .
He signaled to Jiang Chen, who then saw a symbol of a flame imprinted on a dented stone brick on the ground .

Jiang Chen’s interest was piqued . He pressed his Vulcan ring onto the brick . As expected, it fit perfectly .
After that, all of them could feel a rumbling sound as something was being activated under their feet .
“Stand back . ” The Fire Kylin warned everyone .
Just as he’d just finished his sentence, the center of the stone brick started sinking . In the blink of an eye, a secret passage leading downward appeared .
Jiang Chen and the others looked down at the passage without thinking . All of a sudden, a blazing flame rushed straight out of the passage .
Everyone felt a sting in their eyes, but that was not the most important point: the blazing flame coming out of the passage had turned the palace into an oven .
It seemed as if fire would be spurting up any time and anywhere .
“The origin of fire has gone out of control . If you still want to grab some, you will be taking a big risk,” said the Fire Kylin anxiously .
Jiang Chen nodded . He asked everyone to wait where they were, and he went into the passage .
After he’d gone down, the stone brick closed up once again . The temperature of the palace lowered; it was no longer at the boiling point . Shen Xingchen and the others let out a long sigh .
“So that’s it?” Some of them looked at each other, feeling disappointed . This treasure hunt had been too dull for them .
They hadn’t really been necessary at any time during the whole trip . They’d really only been like laborers who’d been recruited by Jiang Chen for large-scale searches .
To someone who bore high expectations, there would be an inevitable sense of disappointment .
Although Shen Xingchen was here for the reward also, according to previous cases, every treasure that was retrieved would be split equally .
“The furious fire in the passage just now has made it clear . We are unable to endure the fire if we go down . We are only able to be spectators for this treasure hunt . ”

“Ugh, I really wanted to become a Venerable Sovereign as soon as possible . ”
“The longer it takes, the less treasures will appear . ”
However, no matter how discontented they were, they had to accept their fate in terms of power levels .
In the passage, Jiang Chen was struggling to move . The Fire Kylin, on the other hand, had sensibly returned to the Vulcan ring .
“Didn’t you say that after burning for many years, the might of the true origin of fire had decreased by a lot?” Jiang Chen was enduring the pain as best as he could . He couldn’t sprint in the passage due to the resistance formed by the heat wave .
“Yes, this is the weakened origin of fire . ”
“Doesn’t that mean then that when it’s at full power anyone would burn to death in an instant?” Jiang Chen grumbled .
“But then it wouldn’t be out of control . ”
Jiang Chen never thought that he would forget that fact .
“How much longer is this passage?” he asked .
“What was the point of you making it so deep?”
Jiang Chen couldn’t stop grumbling . This passage wasn’t something that an ordinary person could endure .
“If even the Ten Golden Crows call you big brother, why are you still afraid of a weakened origin of fire?”
The Fire Kylin was resting leisurely in the Vulcan ring as he started ridiculing Jiang Chen .
“Even if they call me big brother, I still have to keep on training . ”

“All right, all right, don’t talk anymore . In the shape you’re in right now, you definitely won’t be able to reach the end . Start training based on the Fire God Scripture that I gave you,” said the Fire Kylin .
Jiang Chen understood, but he didn’t use the Fire God Scripture . Instead, he started practicing the Undead Holy Bird for the third time, which was a manual passed down by the Celestial Phoenix .
The last time he’d wanted to rise from the ashes, he’d needed to condense a vast bloody sea into the Undead Holy Bird .
This process had been extremely long . He wouldn’t have achieved it even if he’d died last time . He got out of that situation only due to the help of the Will of the Natural Law .
In fact, the first time he’d risen from the ashes was under the condition of the Doctrine Heart of the Devil, where his luck coincidentally met the requirements .
Jiang Chen had never succeeded in this practicing before . It was no easy task . Life and death were not child’s play . It couldn’t be achieved easily .
Anyway, Jiang Chen operated the manual and did actually reduce the pain caused by the roaring flames . He’d almost fused with the fire in the passage .
He felt more ablaze every step he took . Golden flames started gushing out of his body .
In the end, Jiang Chen’s law of fire turned out to be improving .
When he’d successfully reached the end, there was a small enclosed house, which had a jade bottle floating in the air .
The surface of the jade bottle was filled with cracks . Some parts of it were even broken . Unlimited fire energy was flowing out of the bottle .
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, Jiang Chen, you’ve been tricked! That’s right! I still want to take over your body and become the Fire Emperor . ”
Unexpectedly, the maniacal laughter of the Fire Kylin could be heard from the Vulcan ring .
However, Jiang Chen didn’t budge, and there were signs of indifference all over his face .
The Fire Kylin’s laughter stopped after a while . After a weird silence, he said awkwardly, “How did you know I was trying to trick you?”
