Chapter 230 – Red Flame Horse (Monthly Votes Plus)
After the forest and the underground formation disappeared, what appeared instead was the entrance to the third level of the Seven Star Tower.
The second layer, actually passed through so inexplicably.
Xu Chuniang was a little surprised, yet felt it was reasonable.
Perhaps finding that force that could make the trees keep growing was the key in this level.
Sweeping her gaze over the entrance to the third level, she didn’t enter directly, but instead sat down on her knees to meditate and nourish her spirit.
There was no telling what trials she would encounter next, but she would be at her best.
It wasn’t until a day later, when Xu Chuniang felt that her energy had almost recovered, that she stepped onto the third level.
After stepping onto the third level, the sight was a clear lake.
As the breeze brushed past, the water surface rippled a little.
Xu Chuniang’s eyes swept across the lake, but she suddenly froze.
In the lake, she actually saw her future self.
The future her had extremely impressive attainments in the Dao of Formation, and had smoothly become Yue Yanru’s personal disciple.
After that, she cultivated smoothly all the way to the Jindan Stage and survived the thirty-nine thunder tribulation.
After breaking through the Jindan and reaching the middle Jindan stage, she even took over the position of the Thousand Chance Peak Master, becoming the mainstay of the sect.
Only the good times don’t last long, after taking over the position of Peak Master, trivial matters pestered him.
After accepting a few disciples, the time for cultivation was greatly reduced, and the cultivation level also stagnated.
It took her nearly a hundred years to cultivate from the middle stage of Jindan, to the great circle of Jindan.
The last image, stayed at the time when she impacted the realm of YuanYing and perished in the forty-nine thunder tribulation.
Xu Chuniang’s eyes revealed a dazed look, what she saw just now, was that her future?
No matter how much she cultivated and struggled, in the end, she couldn’t survive the 49th Thunder Tribulation and stopped at the Jindan stage.
If you see the future destiny early on and are unable to change it, this is not a sadness.
But her fate, is it really so?
Xu Chuniang’s divine sense transformed into a sharp blade and chopped fiercely towards the surface of the lake, and suddenly the water splashed everywhere, and those images shattered one after another.
The color of clarity reappeared in her eyes.
The road is what people walk out one step at a time, so why worry about things that haven’t happened yet.
Even if what she saw in the lake was really her whole life, so what?
She will only live in the present, do a good job in the present.
Just as Xu Chuniang’s mind cleared, the lake directly disappeared, and the entrance to the fourth level was revealed.
Xu Chuniang pondered, the first layer was for the bronze man, the genus of gold, and the trial content was physical arts.
The second level was for the forest, the genus of wood, and she used her divine sense to break through.
On the third level, a lake appeared, the genus of water, and the test was of the heart.
At the fourth level, it should be the turn of the Genus of Fire, I wonder what the trial content is again?
A trace of interest lit up in her eyes, she originally thought that this Seven Star Tower was nothing more than an unusual place for trials, similar to the Sword Pavilion of Xuan Sword Blade and the Formation Pavilion of Thousand Chance Peak, both of which were set up to test what the disciples had learned.
But after breaking through three layers in a row, apart from the first layer of the trial which was related to physical arts, the other two layers didn’t have much to do with physical arts.
This made her even more curious as to what the next trial would be.
Xu Chuniang headed towards the entrance and stepped into it in one fell swoop.
She had just entered the fourth level, and before she could stabilize her stance, she felt the heat around her.
At the same time, a net of fire pounced towards her.
Xu Chuniang’s face slightly condensed, and in the nick of time, she condensed a wall of water to block the incoming fire net. “Ta-da, ta-da!”
A sound of horse hooves came, and then, a Red Flame Horse with fiery red fur and four hooves on fire sprinted towards Xu Chuniang.
As it galloped, it brought with it a wave of heat.
The Red Flame Horse tilted its head and snorted, spewing out a ball of flame towards the water wall, instantly scorching a large hole in it.
It didn’t take long for the water wall to completely disappear under the scorching flames.
A trace of realization flashed in Xu Chuniang’s eyes, this layer of trials was indeed related to fire.
Just by defeating this mid Foundation Establishment Red Flame Horse, she should be able to pass.
She took out her White Rod Gun and was about to activate it, but was shocked to find that no matter how she sent in her spiritual qi into it, it was just like a clay ox entering the sea, with no movement at all.
It wasn’t just the White Rod Gun, the same was true for the Green Lines Tripod and the Small Round Shield.
It seemed that in this fourth level, it was impossible to use spiritual weapons, and divine sense was also silent in the Yuan Shen, unable to be released.
Yet at this moment, the Red Flame Horse attacked.
Its front body stood upright, its pair of front feet heavily lashed downwards, and two fire chains emanated from underneath its feet, quickly launching an attack.
Xu Chuniang put away her spirit weapon, not making any more unnecessary attempts, and stepped on her Spirit Void Steps to retreat behind her.
However, the fire chains were in hot pursuit, and at the same time, the Red Flame Horse hissed and jumped from its original position, leaping high into the air and stomping towards where she was.
Xu Chuniang’s spiritual energy stirred, and a wall of ice was born out of thin air, blocking the fire chain behind her.
The ice wall and the fire chain collided together, and while the ice wall rapidly melted, the temperature of the fire chain slowly decreased.
At the same time, she condensed three ice blades in her hands and shot them towards the Red Flame Horse’s eyes.
The Red Flame Horse was unable to adjust its stance in the air, and when it saw the incoming three ice blades, it ignited a blazing wall of fire around its body, blocking the strike and stomping on it.
Xu Chuniang dodged and retreated to avoid the Red Flame Horse’s stomping, and at the same time, she inspired several ice balls that exploded towards the Red Flame Horse.
However, as soon as these ice balls got close to the Red Flame Horse, before they could explode, they were melted and vaporized by the fiery flames surrounding it.
The Red Flame Horse tilted its head and hissed, the flames under its feet surged high, spreading out in all directions, as if it wanted to turn this place into a sea of fire.
Xu Chuniang’s face was solemn, condensing a thick ice wall to block the invasion of the sea of fire, while condensing water into arrows, killing towards the Red Flame Horse.
The water arrows continued to melt as they approached the Red Flame Horse, and soon disappeared completely.
Correspondingly, the temperature around the Red Flame Horse also slightly decreased.
The battle was at a stalemate, water could overcome fire, and in turn, fire could overcome water.
Xu Chuniang controlled the water into ice and fought against the flames of the Red Flame Horse.
There must be a way to break the game, or else they may not be able to win if they continue to face each other like this.
The Red Flame Horse’s aptitude for controlling fire was a natural one, sending and receiving freely. Moreover, its cultivation was at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, quite a bit higher than Xu Chuniang.
A hint of decisiveness flashed in her eyes, and the aura in her body quickly transformed into Thunder Aura, followed by a Thunder Light Technique being cast, slashing at the Red Flame Horse’s head.
Thunder system arts were famous for their speed and power, and as soon as it appeared, the Thunder Light Art exploded on the Red Flame Horse’s head, causing its body to tremble gently.
There was a play!
A glimmer of realization flashed in Xu Chuniang’s eyes, it was her who was narrow-minded, while water and ice could certainly restrain fire, it would likewise be restrained by fire.
And although the lightning technique could not resist the flames, it was a good choice to use for offense.
Perhaps, it was not only the Thunder Technique, but the Wind Technique also had a strange effect.
Xu Chuniang’s gaze flickered, her body’s aura transforming freely as the three wind spikes headed towards the flaming horse.
