Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

A live stream stirred up a storm once again, sending people into a frenzy and altering the situation.

And the chief culprit of all this, Xu Yang, despite everyone's resentment, closed the live stream and returned to his sect.

Fulong Mountain, Mingxiao Taoist Temple.

"Master!"

As Xu Yang rode the clouds back, he saw a figure coming to greet him—it was the disciple he had recently taken in.

Xu Yang, restored to his Taoist attire, descended from the clouds and approached the disciple, "How goes it?"

"Reporting to Master."

The disciple bowed and said in a deep voice, "With the power of the Fulong Earthfire Furnace, we have crafted over one hundred and eight thousand pieces."

"Not bad!"

Xu Yang nodded his head and walked towards the heart of the mountain.

A myriad of observers, countless enlightened ones, had surely discerned the crux during the recent live broadcast—what he had traversed was not the tribulation from Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation but the one from breaking the elixir to forming the soul. If it were the former, the power of the Heavenly Dao's tribulation would never have been just that.

From this reasoning, it could be inferred that the "Martial Frenzied Rascal" currently only possessed a Nascent Soul cultivation, and it was one freshly advanced at that.

This undoubtedly injected a powerful stimulant into the various factions!

Although the presence of Mingxiao Tao, Li Xuanyuan, and the "Master of Fate" within the Martial Frenzied Rascal himself deterred those from Cave Heaven Blessed Lands from stirring trouble, his meager cultivation was still a vulnerability.

After all, it's not just others seeking him out—he had to seek others too. Once the arrow is off the bow, the acts of destroying mountains and temples cannot cease.

Despite the Ancient Sects of the Blessed Land having a limited number of Yuan Spirits and their strongest typically being in the Return to Void realm, there are still a handful of exceptional beings who can reach the Integration realm, such as the Demon Dragon Prince from Demon Dragon Ridge.

Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Return to Void, Integration!

The gap between these three major realms was hard for even him to bridge.

Although he had the help of the Heavenly Dao and could annihilate Ancient Sects, there were too many of them for him to eliminate in one fell swoop.

If nothing unexpected happened, those from the Immortal Gates of the Cave Heavens would soon take action... no, they have already made their move.

The Grand Cultivators of the Cave Heavens, unable to enter the mortal world themselves, would send out their successors with the potentiality of their Cave Heavens to assist the Ancient Sects, aiding those cultivators to traverse their Heavenly Tribulations and descend into the world.

Thus, they would gain a batch of high-end combatants. After all, with that many Ancient Sects and the aid of Cave Heaven potentiality, there would ultimately be several lucky ones at the Return to Void or Integration level who make it through the Heavenly Tribulation.

In other words, he would soon be encountering enemies at the Return to Void or even Integration level without the trump card of the Mundane Tribulation to count on.

The danger of a Nascent Soul against Return to Void need not be spoken of.

What to do?

There's only one option: to cheat the system!

Heavenly Mechanics Methods, Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor, the long-awaited cheat techniques, were to take the stage once more, showcasing their presence in this world.

Of course, compared to the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor, a more direct method would be to strangle these successors of the Cave Heavens while they're still in gestation and seize their precious treasures for himself. This way, he could eliminate hidden dangers while growing stronger and accelerating his development.

However, he was unable to do so; these successors were all guarded by powerful treasures, with the slightest being at the level of Superior Immortal Implements. With his current cultivation, even with the help of the Admiring Eye of Heaven, he would struggle to catch them off guard; he could only react passively.

Fortunately, he was rich in capital and possessed extraordinary means, allowing him to face this passive situation.

Upon reaching the belly of the mountain, a cave appeared with hot currents rolling out, scorching the air into distortion.

This was none other than the Fulong Earthfire Chamber!

Fulong Mountain, an Artifact Refining Sect, was built on a subdued Fulong Vein within the mountain, crafting various Magical Treasures and Spiritual Artifacts, even as grand as Immortal Spirit items.

After the dissolution of the Blessed land, the Yuan Spirit congealed Earth Vein dissipated, but a portion remained. On this foundation, Xu Yang laid out a formation, drawing fire from ten directions to create a Fulong Earthfire Furnace for Artifact Refining.

Entering the cave, the intensity of the heat grew as numerous disciples bustled about in busy preparation.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

Seeing him arrive, the disciples lined up to bow, with only a few too busy refining artifacts to stand.

Xu Yang nodded without a word and went straight to the Fulong Earthfire Furnace.

Taking over Fulong Mountain had been years ago; the disciples he had taken in at the start had made some progress.

For them, Xu Yang tailored his teaching to their abilities, but he did not neglect his own needs. Most of them, suitable in talent, had been trained as Artifact Refiners. Although their cultivation was not very high, crafting the most basic Magic Artifacts was well within their capability.

Additionally, with the resources plundered from his conquests of several Blessed Lands and the initial fruits of tilling Fulong Mountain and the Martial Arts Academy, he now had enough materials on hand to fabricate the component parts of Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor.

Hence, the disciples of Mingxiao Taoist Temple had been busy using the materials he provided and the Fulong Earthfire Furnace to refine artifacts.

Regrettably, due to the shortness of time and insufficient mastery of the process, they had only managed to craft over one hundred thousand artifacts so far, which was far from meeting Xu Yang's needs.

With a Nascent Soul body, to confront Return to Void cultivators across two realms, he needed at least a Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor at the ten million artifacts level.

If facing Integration Realm opponents, without an Immortal Spirit Mech Armor at the ten million artifacts level, there would be no chance of victory.

In such a brief time frame, expecting these disciples with low cultivation, shallow mana, and limited Artifact Refining experience to craft millions of artifacts was somewhat too demanding.

Therefore, Xu Yang decided to take matters into his own hands.

Of course...

"He's gone again!"

"Is it really okay to be this brief?"

"It always leaves us hanging!"

"Update, please, brother, I feel like there are ants crawling on me."

In the live stream room, resentments filled the air, accompanied by lamentations.

Just then, the screen switched, and the live stream restarted

Seeing the rolling hot currents in the Earthfire Chamber, the audience was still confused when their attention was caught by the Fulong Earthfire Furnace before them.
