Chapter 790: 790

“Killing a Great Venerable with just a single punch – such power is really intoxicating!” Jiang Chen, who was traveling to Heaven Divine City, couldn’t calm down .

He wanted to go to the Desolate Forbidden Land to gather Desolate Spirits and cure his father . He also wanted to go to the Jiang family and beat up the members of this insufferably arrogant family . He wanted even more to go to the Ice Spirit Clan and meet with his senior sister .

Those were all matters that he wanted to quickly complete, but, in the past, he had to make them his future goals because he didn’t have enough power to achieve them . Now, however, he had a godly power . Thus, his heart couldn’t help but beat faster, knowing he could now achieve his goals . But he still didn’t lose his reason . He knew clearly that he would end up using the Fire Meteorite power one day, and it was only when he cultivated to that realm that he would really be able of overlooking the whole world .

“Since it’s from the Divine Fire Ring . . . I can just call this state as Fire God . “

By activating the Divine Fire Ring, Jiang Chen’s body would become dazzling and his eyes would become fiery . He would then possess an indomitable power, and naming such a state as Fire God was a quite suitable choice . According to what he had calculated, the power left in the Fire Meteorite would be enough for him to keep Fire God State for just a minute . It seemed quite short because actually a minute wasn’t very long . However, a minute was still enough for him to slaughter 100 Great Venerables if they faced him . Moreover, he could still activate it and stop it at any time, which would leave him with enough time to use it well .

Jiang Chen had already activated it two times . The first one wasn’t by his own accord, and it only lasted for several seconds . As for the second time, he used it to kill the Xiahou family’s Feng Renjie, and it didn’t last for even a second that time .

The Fire Meteorite didn’t just provide him great power, it also improved his understanding of Fire Lore . He could raise the Nine Transformations Sky-burning Evil Flame’s might to the second transformation . On this day, Jiang Chen went to Heaven Divine City, and he found out that the competition still hadn’t started . He couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief . He already promised people he would complete this matter; thus he must complete it regardless of everything . This was a mental state that all powerful experts must possess .

After he went to Heaven Divine City’s Elixir Association Branch, he got to see Yang Jingchi, as well as the Ji family’s sisters .

“Teacher . ” Ji Ruxue wore a bright smile . She was still just a 14- or 15-year-old girl . She had fair white skin and a body that was developed better than her elder sister’s .

Ji Yinyi still wore a crude battle suit that wasn’t pretty at all, but, worn by her, it became quite eye-catching and splendid .

The Ji family’s sisters knew Jiang Chen’s true appearance, so they weren’t really surprised .

“You really became a Celestial Venerable!” Ji Yinyi was shocked . When they parted ways last time, Jiang Chen was just a Spiritual Venerable who needed her protection . Now, he was probably stronger than she was .

“I almost assumed that you wouldn’t come here,” Yang Jingchi said .

There were only a few days left before the competition, yet he still hadn’t gotten to see Jiang Chen . When he sent people to the Xiahou family to inquire about him, all he could find out was that he had already left long ago .

“I was delayed by some affairs,” Jiang Chen replied .

“But you already settled them, didn’t you?” Yang Jingchi asked .

“I settled them perfectly . ” As he spoke, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but stroke the Divine Fire Ring .

“It’s fine then . “

Soon after, Yang Jingchi led him to the internal section of the Elixir Building, while the Ji family’s sisters stated that they would just wait for him outside .

“Jiang Chen, I will lead you to see the Elixir Association’s elder . “

Jiang Chen, led by Yang Jingchi, went into a room with an archaic look that had an invigorating medicinal fragrance permeating it . He quickly got to see the Elixir Association’s elder . He was an old man past 50 but he still seemed energetic and vigorous . He was then sipping tea .

“Elder Zhuge, Jiang Chen came to see you,” Yang Jingchi walked forward and spoke respectfully .

Elder Zhuge nodded slightly, while sipping the tea in his cup, and a delightful expression appeared shortly on his face .

“Jiang Chen, come over and sit here . Have a taste of my tea . ” Elder Zhuge looked over at him and poured him some tea .

Jiang Chen was surprised by this and revealed a smile as he went over and accepted a teacup with both hands . He said, “Elder, many thanks . “

After he spoke, he took a sip of the tea, raised his black brows, and praised it sincerely .

Elder Zhuge got excited when he realized that Jiang Chen also knew how to appreciate good tea .

Upon witnessing this, Yang Jingchi couldn’t help but say to himself, Geniuses are really treated differently and specially .

It wasn’t like just anyone could get to drink Elder Zhuge’s tea .

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside . A group of people entered and stood in front of the table .

“Elder Zhuge!” Their leader greeted the elder respectfully, while his gaze was fixed on Jiang Chen .

“This is our Heaven Divine City’s Elixir Association Branch’s president,” Yang Jingchi introduced him to Jiang Chen .

The Elixir Association was the greatest organization of alchemists in the Three Middle Realms and it could be found almost everywhere . Almost all places had an Elixir Building – even the Great Desolate Land had one .

However, each Elixir Building’s status differed according to where it was situated . For example, the one in the Desolate Land once visited by Jiang Chen couldn’t be compared to the one in Wing Prefecture . The latter was also not on the same level as the one in the Three Emperors Territory .

From the moment this president had come in he didn’t spare Yang Jingchi even a single glance . Moreover, a cold glint flickered in his eyes when he saw Jiang Chen sipping tea . However, he still revealed a smile and said, “Is this the youngest Heaven Alchemist, Jiang Chen?”

Jiang Chen stood up and greeted him indifferently . The person before him was a thin, tall middle-aged man with a face that almost didn’t have even a single piece of flesh .

“I’m Bai Xuan, the president of the Three Emperors Territory’s Elixir Association,” he introduced himself, before he looked at Elder Zhuge . He said, “Elder, will you really continue carrying out your former plan?”

“Jiang Chen, Bai Xuan assumed that you might have stage fright because you didn’t appear . He wanted to substitute you with someone else, and even Elder Zhuge hesitated and considered this matter . ” Yang Jingchi explained to Jiang Chen .

“Since Jiang Chen has come back in time, we won’t change it . ” Elder Zhuge had a good impression of Jiang Chen

“Jiang Chen isn’t even 20 years old and, even though he’s a Heaven Alchemist with boundless prospects, isn’t he still too immature to participate in such an important competition?”

It seemed like Bai Xuan was ignoring Jiang Chen, who was standing next to him, and spoke freely without abstaining from anything . Even though Heaven Alchemists were respectable, they weren’t rare, and it could be clearly seen from the fact that even a Heaven Alchemist like Yang Jingchi was assigned just to Wing Prefecture .

The reason why Jiang Chen was valued by the Elixir Association was that he was still young, and he possessed great potential . His special qualities would display their value in the future, not now .

The Elixir Fire Union and the Elixir Association’s competition wouldn’t care about which side’s Heaven Alchemist was younger .

“It’s because he’s young that he must go through trials to get experience . President Bai Xuan, this is the Elixir Association’s decision and can’t be changed . ” Elder Zhuge’s tone was calm and serene, but it was still firm and resolute .

“Understood!”

One could clearly see that Bai Xuan’s expression had changed . His smile disappeared, and he took his people with him and left .

“Jiang Chen, you have already seen it . Are you confident about it?” Elder Zhuge asked .

“That’s right . ” Jiang Chen’s reply was simple and short . He didn’t need to say anything more or assure them of anything .

As a matter of fact, Bai Xuan assumed that Jiang Chen would have an opportunity of displaying his power, while to Jiang Chen, this was just an opportunity to pay back the Elixir Association for the help they provided him .

However, if Jiang Chen really stated his thoughts, he would seem to others arrogant and conceited .

“You still don’t know the competition rules . ” Elder Zhuge smiled upon hearing his reply .

“I would like to hear them . ” Jiang Chen sat once again because he also wanted to know the rules .

“It seems to me like I really don’t need to be concerned about your performance then . ” Elder Zhuge said, “The competition will start and end on the same day, and it won’t affect your participation in the Title Battle . Moreover, If you perform well in it, the Elixir Association will even provide you assistance . ”
