Chapter 389: Chapter 259: Pillar of Fire Soaring into the Sky

As the Energy in the Silver Moon Crystal was absorbed by Caiyun using the Light Absorption Skill, a silvery-white Light of Evolution suddenly burst forth.

The transition from a Red Feather Chicken to a Silver Crowned Red Feather Chicken was just a small step—it could hardly even be called a step, more like a tiny shuffle.

Therefore, the Light of Evolution wasn’t very intense, nor did it last long. It completely faded after about three minutes.

After the Light of Evolution faded, a Red Feather Chicken appeared before Li Qian. It held its head high, its large comb shimmered with a silver luster, and its body was clearly a size larger.

"CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK..." Caiyun sensed the changes in itself and let out excited cries, even zipping around the Cultivation Room for a moment.

Li Qian paid no mind to Caiyun’s excitement, letting it bounce around the Cultivation Room. He then focused his gaze on Ji Fa’s Beast Taming Ball.

A faint red Light of Collection flashed and vanished. When the light faded, Ji Fa also appeared in the Cultivation Room.

It saw Caiyun’s transformation and darted over, joining her in a series of happy clucks.

Li Qian didn’t interrupt. After letting the little couple have their moment, he finally spoke. "Ji Fa, you should remember the promise I made you. I said I would help you climb to the very peak. Now, do you still have the courage to keep striving for greater strength?"

"The path ahead will be very dangerous and full of challenges. If you’re scared or afraid, you can back out. I’ll pour all the resources into Caiyun instead. When that happens, she’ll ascend to new heights and become a powerful, high-and-mighty Pet Beast. She might not even look at a little wild chicken like you anymore."

It was simple reverse psychology. Any person would be unlikely to fall for it.

But for Ji Fa, who had the intelligence of a five or six-year-old child, this trick was extremely effective.

Upon hearing Li Qian’s provocative words, Ji Fa instantly jumped up and began to crow nonstop.

Its eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit.

"Since you’re so confident in yourself, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s get right to it!" Seeing Ji Fa volunteer so eagerly, Li Qian said.

With that, he took a deep breath and retrieved the Sun Gold Crystal and the Thousand-Year Volcanic Stone that he had placed on the workbench earlier.

"Caiyun, come watch with me." Calling Caiyun to his side, Li Qian placed both Extraordinary Resources in front of Ji Fa.

"Be patient. Don’t rush."

Li Qian said this as much to Ji Fa as to himself.

And so, about five or six minutes passed.

When he felt that both man and beast had reached their peak state, Li Qian suddenly roared, "Now! Use the Light Absorption Skill!"

Ji Fa didn’t hesitate. It trusted Li Qian completely and immediately activated the Light Absorption Skill as instructed.

Seeing this, Li Qian continued, his voice ringing out, "Use all your strength! Hold nothing back!"

With Li Qian’s shout, the glow emanating from Ji Fa as it used the Light Absorption Skill instantly grew brighter.

Sensing the time was right, Li Qian immediately took action. Before him, the light of a Summoning Array flashed.

The massive Xiaoliu leaped out.

"Use the Flame Spray Skill on Ji Fa!" After Xiaoliu appeared, Li Qian extended his arm, pointed sharply, and roared again.

Xiaoliu was a bit stunned, but its instincts told it that Li Qian would not harm Ji Fa. So, without hesitation, it followed the order and unleashed its Skill.

It opened its mouth, gathered high-temperature flames, and then shot them out like a meteor.

The orange-red flames, carrying a heat that could incinerate anything, slammed into Ji Fa’s body.

The fire spread in an instant, nearly engulfing more than half of the Cultivation Room.

Li Qian strode over and pressed a button in the Cultivation Room.

As the button was pressed, the Cultivation Room slowly opened up like a blooming flower.

Li Qian chose to open the Cultivation Room at this moment not only because all the steps for evolution had been taken and the rest was up to Ji Fa, but also because the temperature inside had become unbearable for him.

The Cultivation Room opened, and raging flames instantly erupted onto the competition grounds, illuminating nearly half the arena.

"What’s going on? Why did such a huge fire erupt from the Cultivation Room?"

"Did the cultivation fail?"

"What was he researching? How could it cause such a massive fire?"

"With a fire that big, it must be over for him!"

"..."

In the stands, the audience saw this and burst into discussion.

"No, the Energy is gathering. That kid is probably preparing some big move!" Unlike the ordinary spectators, Sun Hongyi knew Li Qian relatively well. He knew that with Li Qian’s abilities, he wouldn’t fail so easily. Moreover, as a Cultivation Master himself, he could already see some clues based on his past cultivation experience and his discerning eye.

Likewise, Sun Hongyi wasn’t the only one who noticed something was amiss.

These people were mostly the supervising teachers from the various Beast Taming Universities or investigators from large corporations. Their eyes burned brightly as they stared at the blossoming flames on the field. Some, however, were fixated on the energy-detecting watches in their hands.

But without a doubt, the expressions on all their faces were quite grim.

"It’s starting," Li Qian murmured, his own gaze fixed on the scene. The moment the flames showed a slight sign of weakening, he suddenly spoke.

And the instant his voice fell, the flames, which had just started to wane, suddenly erupted skyward like a volcano!

They formed a pillar of fire over a hundred meters tall.

The terrifying, high-temperature flames painted almost the entire competition grounds crimson.

"What’s happening?"

"I feel like something incredible is about to happen!"

"Don’t tell me it’s evolving into some terrifying monster?"

"It must be a Fire-type Pet Beast!"

"..."

The suddenly erupting pillar of fire captured the attention of every spectator in the venue.

They began to discuss it again, their voices quite noisy.

And you could see a clear look of excitement on their faces.

From this, it seemed that whether it was the Zhonghua Family of his past life or the Dongxia Federation of this one, the common folk always loved to watch a good show and enjoy the drama.

Under the gaze of all those eyes, the sky-piercing pillar of fire began to change after about three minutes.

From within the flames, a golden beam of light, more condensed, more upright, and more spirited, shot another fifty meters higher.

The sight was truly magnificent.

A pillar of fire over a hundred meters tall.

In the center of the fire pillar was a golden pillar of light.

The diameter of the golden pillar was smaller than that of the fire pillar.

The pillar of fire enveloped the golden pillar of light, making it look like a newly unsheathed sword!
