“Cold… Very cold…” said Lil Fox while shivering next to Chu Kuangren.

“What’s happening? Why is it suddenly so hot and then so cold?” Lil Fox muttered.

‘The moment Chu Kuangren unleashed the freezing qi using his Immortal Physique, he took the opportunity while the Pseudo Immortal was immobilized in the cold to arrive before him ina flash.

Ina split second, a colorful beam of sword ray shot out!

The sword ray slid through the Pseudo Immortal’s neck. Following a splat of blood, that Pseudo Immortal was… dead!

After killing the Pseudo Immortal, the remaining elites from the Holy Divine Fire Cult quickly fled, not daring to attack Chu Kuangren anymore.

Furthermore, they also noticed that the Divine Bachelor, Huoshen Xiao — the one who gathered all of them — had escaped long ago.

“So that’s the honorable Divine Bachelor? Honorable, my *ss.”

“D*mn it. Did the Divine Bachelor really escape long ago? I can’t believe he left us behind as cannon fodder and ran off himself.”

“This monster… Killing a Pseudo Immortal is challenging even for a King Immortal Progeny, yet he has just done it so easily. This guy is certainly no ordinary King Immortal Progeny. Let’s get out of here.”

“Such a terrifying sky-pride exists among the foreigners?!”

All of the elites fled in horror.

Chu Kuangren did not bother to hunt them all down. After all, killing these people would not benefit him anyway. It did not matter to him whether they were dead or not.

He went up to the Pseudo Immortal and took his Yin and Yang ring away.

Then, he retracted his source energies.

Lil Fox walked up to him with sparkling eyes, saying with great admiration, “You’re too awesome, Boss. You killed the Pseudo Immortal like he was nothing back there. Are you close to becoming an Immortal?”

“Becoming an Immortal, huh?”

A look of surprise appeared in Chu Kuangren’s eyes.

In reality, it would be far more difficult for him to become an Immortal compared to the other Immortal Progenies. That was because the Dao those Immortal Progenies specialized in already had their corresponding source energies.

However, no source energy existed for his way of Dao yet. Since he wanted to continue following his path of Dao, he would have to create a new source energy of his own.

That feat alone was several times harder than becoming an Immortal.

Throughout history, there had been no records of anyone creating a new source energy.

“certainly can.”

Chu Kuangren replied.

No matter how hard it was, his Daoist core would remain unaffected.

“Certainly can?”

Lil Fox tilted her head, feeling a little puzzled.

She was asking whether Chu Kuangren was close to becoming an Immortal, and he replied that he could become one in the future? That seemed a little oxymoronic.

However, she paid no heed to that. Instead, she pulled Chu Kuangren’s wide sleeves and asked, “Where are we going next, Boss?”

Chu Kuangren grinned a little. “Someone will come looking for us soon.”

Sure enough, the Bai clan Forefather and his men soon came looking for him.

“Brother Chu, I did not expect you to be so powerful. What you did was very impressive.” The Bai clan Forefather laughed.

“Don’t you people from the Bai clan feel shameless? How dare you show yourselves before us now.” Lil Fox was red with anger upon seeing the Bai clan members. Her sharp teeth gnashed together while a fuming rage seethed from her eyes.

Nevertheless, because of her extremely cute appearance, she was still not much of a threat when angry.

Chu Kuangren patted her head. “Quiet down.”

Lil Fox held back her anger but still looked very annoyed. However, her gaze soon narrowed due to Chu Kuangren’s touch.

“His hand is so warm…’

“Brother Chu, I’m terribly ashamed of what happened earlier.”

The Bai clan Forefather put up a disappointed yet ashamed expression. “The Holy Divine Fire Cult is not a force that the Bai clan can stand up against. If they’ve decided to target you, we can’t do a thing even if we tried. Besides, they also threatened to wipe us out if we helped you. I had no choice but to put

the Bai clan’s safety first. I hope you can understand my predicament.”

He spoke sincerely, with guilt and frustration audible in the tone of his voice.

Lil Fox was a little uncertain when she saw his expression. ‘Is there really no way the Bai clan can help my boss?”

“That disappointed look of his is so real.’

“Tsk. What a nice act.”

Chu Kuangren secretly sighed before saying said, “I understand the difficult situation the Bai clan was in earlier. Don’t worry. I won’t blame you for this.”

‘Cut the act, old man.’

He was getting goosebumps just by watching the old man’s act.

“It’s great that you can forgive us, Brother Chu. I’l certainly compensate you graciously when we return. How about this? Since we agreed on a seventy-thirty cut, let’s change it to an eighty-twenty cut instead. You can take this as a token of our apology. what do you think?” The Bai clan Forefather said

honestly.

“Tl gladly accept this offer. Thank you very much.”

“You deserve it,” said the Bai clan Forefather.

Following that, everyone started to head back to the Bai clan.

Along the way, the Bai clan Forefather, Bai Yeyue, and others were extremely nice to Chu Kuangren, granting his every request. Their little act of being ashamed and guilty looked incredibly sincere. They could even be regarded as a cast of movie stars.

Chu Kuangren was tempted to give them an Oscar for their performance.

“Hey, Boss. These Bai clan people don’t seem as bad as we thought, huh? Are they really guilty for what they did to us back there?”

That night, Lil Fox secretly asked.

Sitting with his legs crossed, Chu Kuangren said indifferently, “Say, Lil Fox. I suppose you’ve been with your tribe for hundreds of years and have rarely ventured out into the world, right?”

Lil Fox nodded. “My gosh. How do you know this, Boss?”

“It’s written all over your silly face, you know. Now, there is one important thing you must know about us humans, and that is we humans are better at deception than any beast or animal.”

Chu Kuangren explained.

“Huh, so it’s all an act? But they look so genuine.”

Lil Fox was shocked.

“After all, life is like a big play. Our skills of acting and deception are all that mattered.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled. Then, he closed his eyes gently and started to refine the Violet Heaven Radiant Flame inside him that he recently obtained with his Phoenix’s Flame.

Once he consumed the flame tinder, he could then exert more power with his Phoenix’s Flame. Perhaps that could be his new trump card.

Come to think of it, how many tricks did he now have up his sleeve?

Only he would know, for there was no way anyone could ever find out.

Seeing Chu Kuangren closing his eyes to cultivate, Lil Fox stopped thinking about the Bai clan. She turned into a light pink fox and lightly hopped into Chu Kuangren’s lap.

“The human world is full of dangers. I bet the only place where I can feel safe is by my boss’s side. Hm… Then again, the boss is also a human, right?”

‘No, my boss is different.’

Lil Fox looked at Chu Kuangren from the side, her gaze began to look a little obsessive.

‘Boss is so much more handsome than other humans.’

Three days later, Chu Kuangren had completely refined the Violet Heaven Radiant Flame’s tinder, which allowed his Phoenix Flame to become much stronger.

“Without using any other techniques, I can now battle a Pseudo Immortal with just this Phoenix’s Flame alone,” said Chu Kuangren as a golden-red flame appeared at his fingertips, his grin illuminated by the flame.

That was only one of his loot from the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm.

There were still other treasures and items left for him to deal with. For example, the huge amount of spirit fruits, Immortal Pills, pill recipes, pill manuscripts, and more.

“Are you done with your cultivation, Boss?”

Lil Fox asked as she stretched her back.

For the past few days, she had been standing guard by Chu Kuangren’s side. She also sent the Bai clan members away the few times they came looking for Chu Kuangren many times.

“This is for you, Lil Fox.”

Chu Kuangren took out an Immortal Pill and tossed it over at her.

“This is… an Immortal Pill?!”

Lil Fox’s eyes widened. “For me?!”

Although they had lost most of their medicinal properties inside the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm, those Immortal Pills still possessed tremendous effects. That Immortal Pill in Lil Fox’s palm alone was enough for her to break through and become a Great Daoist Celestial in one go.

“yup. You’ve contributed a lot during this trip to the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm too. You deserve it,” Chu Kuangren said calmly.

“Thanks a lot, Boss..”
