Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1419: Chapter 324: Breaking Realm and Leaving Kep, Upheaval in the Valley (Part 2)

For most people, this is unimaginable. After all, most Molten Furnace Realm practitioners progress gradually from the Lower Realm upward, and even many Heavenly List Experts haven’t had such an experience of directly entering the Middle Melting Furnace Realm.

Yet Chen Jie has taken this step directly into the Middle Melting Furnace Realm, which shows that Chen Jie’s potential is immense.

Ni Wenjun said, ”Jiu Si, I was indeed wrong about you, a true Dragon and Phoenix among men!”

Chen Jie looked at Ni Wenjun and said, ”Brother Ni, you’re flattering me.”

Ni Wenjun waved his hand and said, ”Ah, I’m not flattering you. Your ability to leap directly from the Dragon Realm into the Middle Melting Furnace Realm speaks volumes about your potential.”

Chen Jie said, ”Is there any inherent connection in this?”

Ni Wenjun replied, ”Of course, the Molten Furnace Realm is divided into three sub-realms: Upper, Middle, and Lower, each of which serves as a threshold that every expert must cross. Most people, after crossing this threshold, need to progress step by step.”

”But there is also a group of exceptionally gifted individuals who, after crossing the threshold, directly enter the Middle Realm, or even the Upper Realm!”

Hearing this, Chen Jie was secretly astonished, realizing that there were indeed great masters ahead. Ni Wenjun continued, ”Let me put it this way, currently, all experts who can leap from the Dragon Realm directly into the Middle Melting Furnace Realm have entered the Melt God Realm, with none failing unless they met an untimely end. In other words, you already have one foot into the Melt God Realm!”

”Brother, you’re flattering me. Isn’t there still a risk of an untimely end?”

Chen Jie said with a wry smile.

”Dare!”

Ni Wenjun roared in anger, ”Who dares to harm my brother, I’ll fight them to the death!”

Chen Jie replied, ”Haha, indeed, as they say, united in brotherhood, our strength is as solid as a rock!”

The two of them said this, and with a slap, clasped their hands together.

With their hands clasped together, Ni Wenjun’s lips curled up and he said, ”Good, indeed good!”

At this moment, Chen Jie was a bit curious and said, ”By the way, Brother Ni, you mentioned that experts who leap directly into the Middle Melting Furnace Realm all enter the Melt God Realm, but are there those who leap directly into the Melt God Upper Realm?”

Ni Wenjun replied, ”We can’t compare to such individuals!”

Chen Jie said, ”Even Brother Ni, you can’t compare to them?”

Ni Wenjun replied, ”Can you compare to that master from Wudang?”

Chen Jie was stunned, then quickly said, ”Hmm, Brother Ni is right, indeed, we can’t compare.”

”But Brother Ni, aren’t you now in the Upper Realm? And not long ago, you were just at the Half-step Furnace Realm, breaking through directly into the Upper Realm, much stronger than me.”

Hearing this, Ni Wenjun shook his head and said, ”Brother, don’t lift me up too high. I can’t compare to you. My cultivation technique, indeed, has a high ceiling, the strongest being the Nine-story Tower, which can connect with the heavens and enter the Land Immortal Realm.”

”But it’s extremely difficult. My master was stuck at the Eighth Layer, unable to advance throughout his life. Compared to my master, I dare not act rashly!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Is that so? However, Brother, your cultivation doesn’t rely on external objects, making your realm more solid and stable, something the little brother can’t match.”

Ni Wenjun said with a wry smile, ”But there are no shortcuts to take. To be honest, getting to where I am today has exhausted me.”

Ni Wenjun sighed deeply, his face full of bitterness. Seeing him like this, Chen Jie understood that Ni Wenjun should indeed be a hero who enjoys avenging grievances and repaying kindness, not someone who holds an official position, whether as a General or something else.

The officialdom is a game of checks and balances. If Ni Wenjun is placed in this environment and is constrained, then his chivalrous spirit will also vanish.

Imagining the extent to which Ni Wenjun had been pressured by others, it must have been extremely miserable!

A majestic eagle, forced to survive among chickens, having to adapt to their rules—how could it not feel frustrated?

Thinking this way, Chen Jie looked at Ni Wenjun and said, ”Brother, I understand your struggles, but rest assured, now you have a brother. United in brotherhood, our strength is unbreakable!”

Upon these words, Ni Wenjun said, ”Good.”

The two looked at each other, understanding each other without words, both knowing the depth of their brotherly bond.

While they were talking, suddenly they heard the sound of flames rising not far away. Shortly afterward, they saw Feng Hongyuan reach out abruptly, and a gigantic Divine Bird appeared behind her.

Seeing this Divine Bird, both Ni Wenjun and Chen Jie were stunned, as it was not the commonly seen Phoenix.

This giant fiery bird resembled a huge Red-crowned Crane but had only one leg. It was enveloped in pale blue flames, and with a flap of its wings, flames filled the sky. It opened its mouth, swallowing the flames in the air, while its wings flapped powerfully, exuding majesty.

Seeing this Divine Bird, Chen Jie looked at Ni Wenjun and asked, ”Brother Ni, do you recognize this Divine Bird?”

Ni Wenjun’s eyebrows slightly knit as he said, ”With one foot, resembling a crane, feeding on flames, this should be the Divine Bird Bifang recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas!”

”Bifang?”

Chen Jie murmured, and at this moment, Ni Wenjun said, ”Indeed, it should be Bifang, able to manipulate all fire, was once a beloved general of the Yellow Emperor. However, due to falling in love with Chiyou, during the Battle of Zhulu, after Chiyou was killed and the Yellow Emperor ascended with the dragon, these close generals could have ascended with him, but Bifang refused to do so.”

”It remained in the Mortal World, waiting for the reincarnation of Chiyou and secretly protecting Chiyou’s descendants.”

”Of course, that’s just a story.”

Ni Wenjun said, and Chen Jie responded, ”But it’s not without foundation. The Witch Clan is a branch of the Jiuli Clan, and this Fire Witch God Inheritance’s final manifestation as the Divine Bird Bifang shows that perhaps Bifang truly did protect the Jiuli Clan descendants back then.”
