Chapter 248: Creating History, The Search Continues
No one had expected Shen Xian to dismantle the terrifying restriction with such casual ease, successfully obtaining the pinnacle of Earth-attribute materials.
They stared dumbfounded at the figure in the arena, feeling their hearts tremble.
“This… is going to break another record!” someone murmured.
High on the platform, Elder Mo stared deeply at Shen Xian, a flash of unprecedented fervor in his eyes.
“This boy’s vision and ability are truly terrifying. The Earth Vein Dragon Crystal is the most precious item among Earth materials, yet he actually found it.”
“And with such powerful restriction-breaking methods, it’s truly surprising!”
Within the Five Materials Realm, there were five Supreme-grade materials that were the most precious, each hidden in extremely difficult-to-find locations. Gathering a full set was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
For an ordinary refiner, being able to gather five High-grade Five Elements materials was already rare, basically securing qualification for the finals.
Looking back at past Refining Assemblies, the highest record belonged to a refiner from the Jin family!
That person had managed to gather four Supreme-grade materials, nearly achieving a grand slam!
In the end, that person also reached the final stage of the assembly, becoming a core disciple of the Hundred Arts Sect, and to this day, is a major figure in the sect!
Could this boy…
No…
Impossible. The Jin family refiner succeeded because of the Jin family’s super-strong foundation. As for the person before them, regardless of what force he came from, given his young age, it was impossible for him to have such high vision and ability.
Finding one Supreme-grade material was already lucky!
Inside the Five Materials Realm, Chi Xiaozi’s face was dark, staring fixedly at the Earth Vein Dragon Crystal in Shen Xian’s hand, the jealousy in his eyes almost turning tangible.
“Hmph! It’s just good luck!” he gritted his teeth and growled, the six remaining fire jades in his hand trembling violently. “I still have a chance! As long as I gather the Five Elements materials, the quality might not lose to his!”
This second round of competition was judged on two aspects: the speed of gathering the Five Elements materials and the quality of the materials.
Although the opponent’s quality was good, he only had one material. As long as he completed the task quickly, he could completely overwhelm the opponent.
He suddenly activated the Nine Cycles Flame Dragon Art. The fire dragon roared, rolling up towering flames as it charged toward his destination!
Boom—!
The restriction was broken, and a High-grade Earth-attribute material appeared, falling into his hand.
Outside, the observing cultivators exclaimed in surprise:
“Master Chi Xiao has already gathered three High-grade materials!”
“He only needs two more to complete the Five Elements Cycle!”
…
Not just Chi Xiaozi, other top refiners were also frantically searching for materials.
On the viewing platform, everyone discussed animatedly:
“It seems the outcome of this round is still undecided!”
“Although Master Wang found a Supreme-grade material, it’s only one, while Chi Xiaozi has already gathered three High-grade ones, just one step away!”
“If Master Chi Xiao obtains two more High-grade materials and completes the Five Elements Cycle, his score might not lose to a single Supreme-grade!”
…
Chi Xiaozi looked at the three High-grade materials in his hand, overjoyed.
“Hahaha! Wang Yu, so what if you have a Supreme-grade material? I’ll win with quantity and still crush you!”
If there was only one Supreme-grade material, he had an extremely high chance of winning by relying on time and the advantage of High-grade materials.
His eyes burned with fervor as he frantically searched for the last two materials. “As long as I find two more materials of High-grade or above, I will definitely take first place in this second round!”
As a top refiner, Chi Xiaozi had his own pride.
Coupled with the previous incident with the Heaven-Reaching Chamber of Commerce, he held hostility toward Shen Xian.
Naturally, he wanted to crush him underfoot now!
However, at that moment—
Shen Xian moved again…
He sped along, the Burning Heaven Cauldron hovering before him, thunder and fire interweaving on the cauldron, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.
Since he was competing, he would compete thoroughly!
His eyes were like lightning, his Divine Sense sweeping across the entire Five Materials Realm like a tidal wave, instantly locking onto the next target—deep within the Fire Domain!
Boom—!
The Burning Heaven Cauldron transformed into a streak of thunder-fire light, charging straight toward the core of the Fire Domain!
On the outside viewing platform, everyone exclaimed in surprise:
“Master Wang is moving again! This time it’s the Fire Domain!”
“Has he discovered something again?!”
Chi Xiaozi was controlling the fire dragon to search for the last two High-grade materials in the Fire Domain when he suddenly sensed a terrifying aura passing overhead. He looked up sharply, his pupils contracting—
“That’s… that guy Wang Yu?!”
“Damn it! Where is he going?!”
He frowned, a trace of killing intent in his eyes.
If it weren’t for the rule in the Five Materials Realm that forbade seizing treasures, he would have definitely taken action immediately to teach the other a lesson.
Before he could think too much.
The next moment, at the core of the Fire Domain, the Burning Heaven Cauldron smashed down!
Rumble—!
The entire Fire Domain shook violently, magma surged backward, and a crimson-gold pillar of fire shot into the sky. Within the light pillar, a flame shaped like a lotus flower floated gently!
“The Nine Cycles Fire Lotus?!”
The entire arena erupted in an uproar!
The Nine Cycles Fire Lotus, a Supreme-grade Fire material. Legend said it could only be nurtured in the core of a ten-thousand-year fire vein, its flame power sufficient to melt True Spirit Treasures!
Chi Xiaozi’s face instantly turned pale. Looking at the flame treasure floating in the air, he felt as if struck by lightning.
“How is this possible?! I’ve searched the Fire Domain for so long and never discovered this thing!”
“He… on what basis?!”
For the test in the Five Materials Realm, Chi Xiaozi had prepared extremely thoroughly, otherwise he wouldn’t have found three High-grade materials so quickly.
Originally, this fourth High-grade material was already a sure thing.
But he never expected that the other would directly find a Supreme-grade material!
How on earth did he do it?
On the viewing platform, the cultivators who had previously not favored Shen Xian were shocked again, each opening their mouths wide, unable to speak for a long time.
This…
How is this possible!
He was so young; his experience in all aspects should be far inferior to other veteran refiners. Why could he easily find such peerless materials?
Elder Mo suddenly stood up, a brilliant light bursting in his eyes!
“Two Supreme-grade materials! This boy… could he really be recreating the feat of that Jin family member from back then?!”
The Nine Cycles Fire Lotus was also surrounded by a powerful restriction, but in front of Shen Xian, it was nothing.
After spending an hour, he successfully broke it, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
“Another Supreme-grade material!” A refiner also from the Hundred Arts Sect trembled all over.
In this round, he had seen too many stunningly talented individuals.
But someone like the person before him was the first he had encountered.
This made him suspect whether the other had some insider information in advance.
But no matter what, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Xian had achieved what ordinary people dared not imagine.
And…
He was still continuing!
Shen Xian’s movements still hadn’t stopped!
He shifted his gaze, locking onto the final area—the Wood-attribute region!
However, when he arrived here, Elder Xuanji had actually taken the lead and found the Supreme-grade material of this place.
