Chapter 544 The Person Who Is Willing to Sacrifice for You
Jiang Qian remained silent.

His facial expression kept changing.

The Phoenix Flame is incredibly powerful, belonging to the extreme of masculine martial arts. Therefore, only those with a pure yin constitution can practice it; otherwise, they will be burned alive before they even master the skill.

However, as his skill improved, the fiery energy contained within the fire gradually accumulated.

Jiang Qian could now clearly feel that the reason she could not advance any further was that she could not refine the fire element within her body.

If Li Dachui truly practices the Qi of Heaven and Earth, then he might actually be able to solve this problem for himself.

This is probably why Phoenix Fire gets so excited whenever I get close to Li Dachui and slightly circulate my cultivation technique.

Just as Li Dachui had said, the son saw his father.

But there's a big problem.

If you want someone to help you temper the fire element within your body, putting aside any intimate contact between the two of you, can you really trust the other person completely and entrust your life and safety to them without reservation?
Jiang Qian knew she couldn't do it.

Don't even mention that your current stance and Li Dachui's are already opposed.

Even if he is your friend or family,
Given my personality, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to open up completely to the other person without reservation.

This is determined by personality.

She shook her head resolutely.

For her, it would be better if her martial arts skills could be improved further, and she would have more confidence in doing things, but if not, it wouldn't matter, as her innate talent was enough.

Governing a country and seizing power are secondary matters; martial arts are secondary.

Just think about He Qingqiu's fate, and you'll understand this principle.

“I can’t do it!” She looked up at Li Dachui.

Li Dachui nodded understandingly, "I guessed that was right!"

"Then how did your mother, He Qingqiu, break through to the Divine Travel realm?" Jiang Qian asked. "At that time, she didn't have a master who had mastered the Qi of Heaven and Earth to help her temper her Fire Fiend."

Li Dachui smiled and said, "Of course there is a way."

Jiang Qian's eyes lit up as she stared at Li Dachui.

Li Dachui smiled without saying a word.

"If this method works, I will let you leave unharmed!" Jiang Qian said, "That's my promise!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll cause you a lot of trouble in the future? I'm Li Dachui, someone who has the power to pose the greatest challenge to you in the struggle to unify the world," Li Dachui said.

Jiang Qian walked to the edge of the small platform, stood with her hands behind her back, looked up at the mirror-like lake below, and said calmly, "If you want to unify the world, why would you fear any challenge? Whether it's you or Linghu, if you really want to be a stumbling block on my path, just kick them away! Right now, I can indeed easily deal with you, but if you can offer something in exchange, I will naturally let you go."

“Alright!” Li Dachui nodded and said, “I still believe in the promise of the Empress Dowager. This method is actually very simple.”

"Simple?" Jiang Qian turned her head, looking at Li Dachui with suspicion. If it were simple, why hasn't anyone else been able to break through to the Divine Travel realm in all these years, except for He Qingqiu?
“It’s really simple, the key is that you must have someone willing to sacrifice for you!” Li Dachui said. “If I wanted to, countless people would be willing to sacrifice for me!” Jiang Qian said proudly.

“Of course it can’t be just any random person!” Li Dachui said, “This person must meet one prerequisite, which is that the martial art he cultivates must be based on the Moon Essence Weak Water!”

Jiang Qian suddenly looked up.

“Back then, my mother’s master cultivated the Moon Essence Weak Water technique!” Li Dachui said. “He had also reached the Innate Realm. In a battle, he was severely injured, and an accident occurred when my mother was healing him.”

"What accident?"

"After my mother's Phoenix Flame entered her master's body, it began to frantically devour the Moon Essence Weak Water," Li Dachui said. "The Phoenix Flame that devoured the Moon Essence Weak Water began to undergo a qualitative change. At that time, both of them understood the reason behind this. Because my master was injured, my mother's cultivation was much stronger than his at that time. My master accepted this fact and completely opened up his body, allowing the Phoenix Flame to completely devour his life's cultivation."

"So that's why He Qingqiu reached the Divine Travel Realm at such a young age?" Jiang Qian murmured.

“Exactly! The price was the death of my mother’s master! And the process was extremely painful for the one who was sacrificed.” Li Dachui laughed, “Can you find someone willing to sacrifice themselves for you?”

Jiang Qian's eyes flickered.

Li Dachui suddenly laughed: "I know, Lin Yunqi cultivates the Moon Essence Weak Water, but he's only at the ninth rank of the Profound Origin realm, his cultivation is still a bit low. And is his loyalty to you really that much? Would he be willing to die for you?"

"That's my business, you don't need to worry about it!" Jiang Qian laughed. "Besides, how can I believe you're telling the truth and not just making up a story to fool me?"

“That’s easy!” Li Dachui spread his hands and said, “You can call Lin Yunqi over, and I’ll show you how this super healer, Qiankun Yiqi, can help this Xuan Yuan Ninth Rank guy advance further! I don’t know if he can awaken his innate enlightenment, but I can at least make sure that his Moon Essence Weak Water no longer contains that cold and evil energy.”

Jiang Qian smiled and said, "That is indeed a feasible solution."

“In that case, can I consider that we have reached an agreement?” Li Dachui said with a smile.

"Of course, if what you say is true, then you will be able to leave safely after you have accomplished this!" Jiang Qian said, "When we meet again on the stage of vying for the world, we will each show our abilities and see who is more powerful!"

Li Dachui nodded: "No wonder you have achieved what you have today. Your spirit alone is something that ordinary people cannot match."

How does it compare to you?

"You're better than me!" Li Dachui said, "I originally came to Danyang intending to scheme against you, but it seems I failed. However, it wasn't a wasted trip. At least I learned a lot from you!"

Jiang Qian laughed loudly: "Li Dachui, your mouth is always as sweet as honey, you can deceive people to death. Come on, let's go down and see your mother's former residence! You really wanted to come to the headquarters of the Divine Cult just to pay homage to your mother's old home?"

"I don't want to lie to the Empress Dowager. Actually, I'd rather see what your ancestor left behind! I'm more interested in her."

"That depends on whether you have the fate to be with me. At least I don't!"

Jiang Qianren rose with the wind, her toes lightly touching the platform, like a leaf, drifting gracefully downwards, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns.

Li Dachui scratched his head, somewhat confused about what Jiang Qian meant.

But it doesn't really matter anymore; we'll find out soon enough.

He was now 99% certain that this founder of the Demonic Sect, Qingfeng, was definitely connected to him in some way.
