At the same time, no matter how many guts Tan Yun had, he wouldn't dare to leave the Immortal Holy Tower.
This was because he discovered through his immortal sense that he couldn't determine the woman's cultivation level!
There was an oppressive aura emanating from her, making him feel as if he was facing an insurmountable mountain.
The woman stood there, her presence radiating an air of authority that left no room for doubt about her power.
Tan Yun took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
He knew that in order to survive, he had to be cautious and observe her movements carefully.
Suddenly, the woman turned her gaze toward him, her eyes piercing like daggers.
“I can sense your fear, boy,” she said, her voice calm yet filled with an unshakeable confidence.
Tan Yun’s heart raced. He managed to reply, “I-I’m just being careful…”
She laughed lightly, a sound that echoed eerily in the vast hall of the Immortal Holy Tower.
“Careful? You should be. This place is not for the faint-hearted,” she said, taking a step closer.
Tan Yun instinctively took a step back, his mind racing with thoughts of escape and the consequences of angering someone so powerful.
“Who are you?” he asked, trying to keep his tone steady.
“I am a seeker of the primordial flame,” she replied cryptically, her expression unreadable.
Tan Yun felt a chill run down his spine at her words. The primordial flame was said to grant immense power, but it was also dangerous.
“I have no interest in trouble. I just want to refine my alchemical skills,” he said, trying to defuse the tension.
The woman raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his response.
“Is that so? Then perhaps you can help me,” she said, her tone shifting to one of persuasion.
Tan Yun hesitated, his instincts warning him to be careful.
“What do you need?” he asked cautiously.
“I require the essence of the destiny true fire for my own cultivation,” she explained.
Tan Yun's mind raced. The essence of the destiny true fire was a rare and powerful resource, one that many would kill for.
“Why should I help you?” he asked, weighing his options.
“Because if you don’t, you might not leave this tower alive,” she stated coldly, her eyes glinting with a dangerous light.
Tan Yun swallowed hard, realizing just how precarious his situation was.
With no other choice, he nodded slowly, “Alright, I’ll help you… but I need guarantees.”
The woman smirked, “You’ll get your guarantees, but remember this, boy: in the world of cultivation, trust is a luxury few can afford.”
Tan Yun felt the weight of her words as he realized the game he had been thrust into.
As he prepared to embark on this unexpected deal, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was merely a pawn in a much larger game.
But for now, he could only play along and hope to find a way to turn the situation to his advantage.
Since he was already here, he might as well settle down. Tan Yun sneered inwardly, “I want to see how you force me out!”
Then, Tan Yun began to cultivate in seclusion while simultaneously engaging in alchemical refinement.
Inside the cave dwelling nestled in the canyon's cliffs, Sima Fei'er's ash-gray eyes revealed a fierce glint. "Tan Yun, you shameless scoundrel! If I really can't do anything to you, then you are terribly mistaken!"
"You little ant of the punishment immortal realm eighth grade, have you ever heard of the supreme celestial fire seed: sun true fire?"
"If you haven't heard of it, I can tell you that with enough time, this sun true fire can burn even the supreme celestial holy artifact to nothingness!"
"Although I can't see the grade of your tower, it doesn't matter. The important thing is, this young lady has all the time in the world to accompany you slowly."
"Until the sun true fire burns your broken tower to ashes!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun, sitting cross-legged in the Sixty-Sixth Layer Tower, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with an uncontrollable excitement!
This was like waking up from a slumber, as someone delivered a pillow!
