“Teacher, what is that?”
Hong Hai Er’s eyes were fixed on the earthen kiln, which was spewing black smoke, his eyes gleaming.
He finally understood what had drawn him here.
Hong Hai Er’s blood boiled, and a hidden energy within his body stirred.
“This, what is this, Chen?”
Kong Dun Ling’s eyes flickered, and a look of surprise flashed across them.
He had thought that Chen Fan was merely a wise craftsman.
Although he had made a great contribution to the development of the human race, allowing the Tang Dynasty to rapidly advance.
But to unify the human race and reclaim the Nine Nine Emperor’s Throne, much more was needed.
The Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns sent him out of the Fire Cloud Cave as a casual act.
If he succeeded, it was good, if not, so be it.
With him, Kong Qiu, walking the world, there was still hope for the future.
Although this hope was very slim, it was better than sitting in the Fire Cloud Cave.
Until the end of the world, when the immeasurable calamities arrived.
The Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, the human ancestors, would emerge from the Fire Cloud Cave again.
At that time, what chance would there be to lead the human race once more, to overcome those terrifying tribulations!
But now, Kong Qiu suddenly realized that the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns had underestimated Chen Fan.
The true treasures of a nation lie in its sacrifices and its military!
Only with powerful strength can the human race achieve unification.
When everything becomes a powerful trend, even a saint can only watch as the Human Emperor returns to the world.
Just like Zhou Wu Wang, with the power of the human race, sealed the Fire Cloud Cave.
The Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns could only watch.
“That’s a blast furnace, used for smelting iron!”
Chen Fan could not understand the excitement in Kong Qiu’s heart at this moment. He turned his gaze towards Hong Hai Er, a feeling rising within him.
As the creator of the blast furnace, Chen Fan had a connection to the furnace, a virtuous artifact.
Hong Hai Er’s appearance was an indication from Heaven.
He was the key to repairing the furnace's flaws.
“Get rid of that Serpent Tooth Purple Flame, I'm here!”
Hong Hai Er leapt into the air and landed on top of the furnace.
He stomped down with a foot, but the Serpent Tooth Purple Flame, as if alive, swirled around and flew away.
Following the direction of the Serpent Tooth Purple Flame’s departure, Hong Hai Er saw a boy very similar to himself.
A boy in red, a warrior of a hundred battles!
It was Ne Zha!
Hong Hai Er narrowed his eyes, instantly recognizing Ne Zha’s identity.
“Kid, who are you?”
Ne Zha didn’t recognize Hong Hai Er, and Hong Hai Er was concealing his aura with a spiritual treasure.
Hong Hai Er ignored Ne Zha’s question and looked towards the black smoke rising into the sky.
Suck!
Hong Hai Er opened his mouth and inhaled sharply, the billowing black smoke vanishing into his mouth.
Ne Zha was startled and leaped into the air, swinging his Heaven Binding Rope.
“Stop, that thing will corrode your magic power and spirit, you can’t eat it!”
Ne Zha only had one pair of Fire Wheels, and he couldn’t use them for fuel all the time.
Therefore, the blast furnace burned coal, which Chen Fan had purchased.
Because of this, the black smoke produced by the blast furnace was extremely poisonous.
The coal and iron ore from the prehistoric world all contained a trace of 煞气 (sà qì) and waste gas.
After burning, they would be released through the blast furnace chimney.
This could corrode spiritual energy and disrupt the spiritual flow.
Ne Zha had been dealing with this waste gas for a while, so he knew its viciousness.
If an unrefined cultivator touched this poison, their cultivation would be largely ruined.
“Don’t worry, Ne Zha!”
Bai Qian Li raised his hand and waved, and Ne Zha's Heaven Binding Rope fell down.
Chen Fan’s eyes widened, and he looked back at Bai Qian Li.
He felt he needed to get to know Bai Qian Li better.
Someone who could easily stop Ne Zha, even if not a great being, was no ordinary person in terms of strength.
“As expected, the prehistoric world is a place where Great Roes walk the earth and Golden Immortals are a dime a dozen.
There are too many strong people, I better keep a low profile!”
Chen Fan muttered under his breath, but to Bai Qian Li and Kong Dun Ling, it was loud and clear.
What the hell did he mean, Great Roes walk the earth, Golden Immortals are a dime a dozen!
Although the prehistoric world was full of strong people, Golden Immortals were already masters in their own right.
Even the Jade Emperor and Buddha would give a Great Roe three points of respect.
“I should have known, a Asura Rakshasa born from the Endless Blood Sea.
Inherently gathering the resentment, waste gas, and poison of the three realms, with all three poisons of greed, hatred, and delusion.
This waste gas is deadly poison to us immortals, but to Asuras, it’s an elixir!”
Bai Qian Li shook his head, sounding a bit like he was making excuses after the fact.
Kong Dun Ling raised an eyebrow and examined the blast furnace, comforting him.
“That’s nothing, the Xuan Men is the dominant force in the three realms, everyone wants to improve their spiritual energy.
Who would have thought that someone would produce resources suitable for the Asura race!
Humans have been burning coal and smelting iron for a long time, yet never has an Asura from the Blood Sea come to collect.”
Bai Qian Li had a strange look on his face, and he was speechless.
The Endless Blood Sea had long been targeted by the Buddhist sect, and constant battles raged there.
The King of Hell, Dizang Pusa, resided in the Pool of Evil Ghosts and encroached upon the Blood Sea.
Strong Asuras were all under the watchful eyes of the Buddhists.
Weak Asuras were corroded by the 煞气 (sà qì) of the Blood Sea, losing their sanity.
For years, only a peculiar figure like Iron Fan Princess emerged.
The princess of the Blood Sea Rakshasa clan, but she cultivated Xuan Men techniques and even mastered them.
This resulted in Hong Hai Er, a Rakshasa mixed-blood, coming into being.
The moment the blast furnace appeared, Heaven felt it.
The Rakshasa bloodline within Hong Hai Er sensed it, and he came.
“Although Iron Fan Princess was a Rakshasa princess, her Rakshasa bloodline had long been refined!
Hong Hai Er is not yet an adult, so he still has the potential to awaken his Rakshasa bloodline.
If he had lived a few more years, or had been awakened by a great being, this Rakshasa bloodline would never have awakened again.
Fate is already determined, the word ‘缘’ (yuán) is truly amazing!”
A smile appeared on Bai Qian Li’s face, but it was tinged with sadness.
Chen Fan’s eyes flickered, it seemed Bai was someone with a story to tell!
“I don’t know if my life is destined by fate, if someone is controlling me behind the scenes.
I only need to make sure that when I look back many years from now.
I won’t regret my past mediocrity.
Nor will I regret the choices I made!”
“Well said!”
Kong Dun Ling’s eyes lit up, he pulled out a bamboo scroll and a carving knife.
He quickly carved Chen Fan’s words onto it.
At that moment, the surface of the nearby Qing Shui River exploded.
“Roar, Qing Li, you dare invade my territory, you’re asking for death!”
“Hahaha, Hei Nian, you’re monopolizing such a big advantage, aren’t you afraid of getting full!”
