Chapter 512: 512 The Monk of Fate
Combined Spirit Energy is born from the fusion of both parties’ soul characteristics, which made Xia Feng ponder.
What exactly were soul characteristics?
While lost in thought, he withdrew his gaze from the people diligently cultivating and looked up at the giant blood furnace.
This colossal furnace stood a hundred meters tall, its surface transparent, allowing a glimpse of the interior through the faint blood flames.
Within, surging blood flames formed a sea of fire akin to hell. At the very center, a golden-red rectangular box floated serenely.
This box was likely what everyone was vying for – the Sacred Box.
As long as one mastered the first 100 Myriad Formations cores of the Blood Spirit Construct, they could enter this place, withstand the soul-annihilating flames, and retrieve the Sacred Box.
Xia Feng, having mastered the complete Spirit Robe, could naturally enter as well.
However, stepping inside would undoubtedly make him the target of everyone’s attention.
What gave Xia Feng pause was that the Sacred Box didn’t seem to be a God Relic, but rather a Spirit artifact?
Lost in contemplation, he looked at the woman in the green dress, who was also meditating beside him, and sent a telepathic message: “I have a question for you.”
“Hmm?” Jiang Qiue slightly lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, “Speak.”
“That Sacred Box seems to be a Spirit artifact. Do you know its specific function?”
Jiang Qiue was puzzled as to why this guy was suddenly asking this, but she casually replied, “This is actually a Spirit artifact of the Monk of Fate from the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall, a Time-Space Box.”
“One of the functions of the Time-Space Box is to engrave [information] into the box and cast it into the River of Time and Space. This box will then drift along the river to a designated location.”
“Back then, after the Monk of Fate discovered the location of the Saint’s Remains, he was surrounded and captured by the Empire and imprisoned in a secret facility for interrogation.
But for so many years, the Monk of Fate refused to divulge the location of the Saint’s Remains. He even attempted to send the information to the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall using the Time-Space Box.”
“However, the Monk of Fate’s actions were unsuccessful. The Empire discovered it in time and learned that the Time-Space Box containing ‘Saint’s Remains information’, which is the Sacred Box, had fallen into the Bei Qiu Abyss.”
“This is also why all factions are sending people here after the Bei Qiu Abyss opened this time.”
Listening to Jiang Qiue’s explanation, Xia Feng seemed to have a thought, his black eyes gradually brightening, his heart racing.
He suddenly wanted to do something big, to personally orchestrate a grand deception!
If successful, he might even be able to fulfill his promise with the Old Dragon King and then achieve Holy Solution!
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Xia Feng waited another ten minutes, patted his pant legs, and stood up.
Jiang Qiue glanced at him with a hint of confusion and said lightly, “Eighteen minutes haven’t passed yet, are you giving up already?”
“I want to get a closer look at this giant blood furnace,” Xia Feng shook his head, casually waving his hand behind him as he slowly flew towards the blood furnace.
The woman in the green dress couldn’t help but frown, feeling that something was not quite right.
Just as Jiang Qiue was hesitating whether to stop Xia Feng, he had already reached the edge of the blood furnace and was slowly flying to the top.
The others naturally noticed Xia Feng’s actions and cast indifferent glances his way.
They saw the boy in the fox mask standing on the furnace top, flicking a floating A-class spirit paper, then squatting down as if curious, peering into the furnace, looking like a mischievous child.
They shook their heads and subconsciously glanced at the boy’s master, Jiang Qiue, and were taken aback.
They hadn’t noticed before, but after just a few days apart, the demeanor of this Saintess in the green dress seemed even more ethereal and cold. Her thin, delicate brows and ethereal beautiful eyes, adorned with a glass green hairpin, made her appear like a celestial being detached from the mortal world.
People are drawn to beauty and purity, and Jiang Qiue’s appearance and temperament were captivating, evoking admiration.
Even Ye Li Kong and the Justice Holy Son couldn’t help but look at Jiang Qiue a few more times.
“It seems Saintess Qiue has had some fortunate encounters these past few days. She seems even more beautiful,” Yan Si chuckled lightly.
Jiang Qiue glanced at him indifferently, her voice devoid of emotion, “You flatter me.”
While everyone’s attention was drawn to Jiang Qiue, Teresa and Tang Ruyan’s gazes remained fixed on the boy atop the furnace.
A hint of confusion flashed in Teresa’s eyes.
And at this moment, before anyone could react, the boy grabbed the A-class spirit paper and leaped directly into the furnace.
As everyone turned back in stunned disbelief, the boy plunged straight into the sea of fire. “What is he doing? Is he crazy?” everyone wondered. The fire in this furnace, also known as Blood Glass, would instantly reduce anyone within it to a mere slave of the furnace, their sanity completely obliterated.
“!!!” Jiang Qiue’s face froze. No, what mischief was this guy up to now! Could he be trying to commit suicide and be reborn, thereby escaping my control?
“Saintess Qiue, this wasn’t your order, was it?”
Jin Jili looked at Jiang Qiue, mockingly asking with a half-smile, “Having your artificial life commit suicide, what kind of operation is this?”
The woman in the green dress furrowed her brow.
However, before Jin Jili could continue his taunts, the expressions of everyone gradually changed.
“He doesn’t seem to be dead?” as someone murmured, a hint of surprise and astonishment appeared in everyone’s solemn gaze.
The masked boy in the furnace, though instantly engulfed by the sea of fire upon entering, seemed to turn to ash.
But the next second, a figure shot out of the sea of fire and sped directly towards the Sacred Box, as if entering a realm of no resistance.
The Sacred Box was only the size of two palms, its surface adorned with ancient and mysterious golden patterns. The moment Xia Feng grasped it, relevant information flooded into his mind.

[Information contained in this Time-Space Box: Stupid Empire brutes, you’ve all been tricked by your Daddy~]
Xia Feng was speechless.
Good heavens, Monk of Fate, you’re incredible.
Although Xia Feng didn’t care about the Saint’s Remains, he was still somewhat curious, wondering where the Saint’s Remains were currently located.
But he didn’t expect…
The Monk of Fate was deliberately toying with the Empire and all its factions, making them chase shadows for nothing.
The clue about the Saint’s Remains appearing in the Bei Qiu Abyss was all fake.
However, after a moment of speechless exasperation, Xia Feng began his own important task.
With a thought, he activated the Divine Mirror Without Stand, seizing ownership of it.

[You can now choose—
1. Cast this box into the River of Time and Space again, and set its destination to a real world/Nightmare Realm/Astral Realm location you have visited.
2. Alter the information contained in this box.]
In fact, the information contained in this Time-Space Box was not important to Xia Feng.
What was important now was how to fill it with new information, thereby tricking these fools of the Empire once more.
