Celia wasn't surprised after seeing the might of her master. Not only she was aware that Cole acquire a more prestigious bloodline from [Blood Realm], she also knew that the sudden massive increase of his strength are due to the fact that he also consume a the same Miracle Fruit.
Since she consume one, she knew its terrifying effect. As a matter of fact, after the Miracle Fruit unearth her potential, there's still so much golden Miracle Fruit Essence inside her body, digging more of her potential without a cost.
In fact, she believe that if he have a trace of True-Rank Dragon Bloodline on her body, perhaps the golden essence already transform her into more higher lifeform.
According to the sense, she was considered as anomaly since not only she has a pure Divine White Dragon Bloodline she even awaken her ancestors Innate Ability, the [Immemorial Origin Frost].
However, compare to her master, she could be considered as normal. He was the greatest anomaly!
Thus, she wasn't surprise the powerful attack her master just made. Instead, she already distance herself from the boss's attack range.
...
The very reason why Cole decided to stay in the dungeon is because he want to train the main martial force he intend to cultivate.
But this time, the difficulty of the dungeon is not something they could train. It was already a good job if they manage to preserve their lives on their own.
After coming to this conclusion, he didn't preserve his strength anymore and attack without reserves.
Without a doubt, the attack he just used consume a massive amount of spiritual energy. For normal cultivator, for example Mikoes, the move might have drain half, if not whole, of his energy reserve.
But for Cole, it was just a trickle of his massive spiritual energy reserves.
Under the work of Miracle Fruit, his main cultivation method, the [Dantian Genesis Method], now turn into full potential. Not only there was a nine revolution rings on every core he managed to condensed which directly increase its energy reserve by nine time each, his nascent soul injected with his skill [Parallel Thought] were also constantly running the method, absorbing spiritual energy directly from Summoning Grimoire's [Inner World].
Without waiting for the field boss to make a move, and most importantly not giving it a chance to erupt, he swung the Five Feathers Yin Fan several more times.
Not a minute after, the massive but now bald, or perhaps naked even, turn into moths of light.
However, an unexpected situation happen.
Instead of recieving EXP, the moths of light that the field boss's explode into flow towards the unmature heavenly flame in the air.
The former wisp of flame were injected with great nourishment, turning into vigorous torch-like flame. In addition, the powerful formation that covers the wisp of flame cracked and turn into moths of light.
Its information also change after!
Ice Cold Heavenly Flame [Heaven-Rank] Status : Mature (Can be Subdued) Affinity : Ice Potential : Divine [Introduction : After using the Sainthood Realm spirit tree as main nourishment, this heavenly flame managed to inherit some of its power.]
It instantly explain the anomaly that happen. The EXP that they should have received were then used to make the growing heavenly flame into mature one.
Furthermore, the formation that protects it were destroyed.
Now, the mature Heavenly Flame is floating in the air waiting for their decision.
If someone see this, their eyes would probably burst in surprise.
Not only Heavenly Flame were hard to appear, it also has its complete thought and were extremely hard to capture.
And should they capture the Heavenly Flame, it was also a question on how to refine it into their own because refining it means they have to introduce it into their body and endure its shocking temperature.
Now, the first obstacle of capturing the Heavenly Flame is basically nothing since the flame were just silently floating in the air.
...
Cole look at the treasure in front him and think.
Not long after, he face Celia and said, "Refine this Heavenly Flame into you."
Without a doubt, [Immemorial Origin Frost] is a terrifying type of energy. However, the same as Celia's Purple Grandmist she mainly used in her parasitation, the frost is not abundant in amount and there's practically no source of it in the world, or at the least, not the one he know of.
She could only depend on her natural talent to convert Purple Grandmist and Immemorial Origin Frost from spiritual energy. But refining it is extremely long and consume a huge amount of spiritual energy.
Besides, among them, Celia is the most compatible with this heavenly flames attribute.
"I'll subdue it then,"
Celia didn't try to argue and immediately flew towards the blue flame.
She didn't use any fancy move. She use the crudest but most effective way for her to subdue the flame.
She directly devour it!
Instantly, thick ice covers Celia. It was quite a bizarre sight; an ice-type beast was frozen in ice. This just show of how tyrannical the heavenly flame is.
But moments later, the thick ice that covers Celia gradually enter her body. It was the sign that she's successful when subduing the heavenly flame. After all, she do have the White Dragon Divine Bloodline and its specialty were water, ice and cloud-type attributes.
In addition, the remaining miracle fruit essence inside her contribute too. It catalyze the fusion process in fast and peaceful way.
Five minutes later, Celia open her eyes, flew down while gradually transforming back to her human form.
"I succeeded."
Cole nodded his head. He already expect that it'll be easy and fast.
Now, Celia can now use more ice-type skills without reserves using the Ice Cold Heavenly Flame as medium. Although it was a little inferior compare to Immemorial Origin Frost, the heavenly flame is still powerful when it was taken out outside. Its powerful freezing ability in addition to its invasive cold-energy is something that is hard to guard about.
"Good. Now then, let's go to other islands."
There was a total of five floating island on this unknown place. Four of them were position in north, east, south and west while the last and were floating high up in the air. Without a doubt, it was the place where the main dungeon boss of this place reside.
The situation of the other three sub islands is exactly the same as the cold floating island.
They seal a powerful creature and use them to nourish a heavenly flame.
In the second island, there was a sealed Holy-Rank Beast Spring Deer with the same Sainthood Realm cultivation and nourish a Gentle Spring Heavenly Flame. It was a good and very suitable flame for alchemy. It was like the inferior version of his [Sacrificial Life Nirvanic Flame]. The gentle fire property of this heavenly flame will reduce the chance of burning alchemy ingredients into scrap. Furthermore, it was easy to control and subdue.
On the third island, there was a sealed Fire Elemental Spirit with Sainthood Realm cultivation too. It nourished a Fire Spirit Heart Heavenly Flame, a suitable alchemical flame that could expel more impurities compare to other heavenly flame.
On the fourth island, a sealed Holy-Rank Sainthood Realm Sultry Tempress Fox were sealed and nourished a Tempering Psyche Heavenly Flame, a rare flame with soul attribute and is greatly suitable for refining mind and soul-type pills.
Unlike the usual loots, the heavenly flame can't be stored and can only be subdued on the spot if he want to bring them out of the dungeon.
Fortunately, using his [Immortal Purity True Phoenix Flame], he manage to subdue the flame to absolute submission. He store the three subdued heavenly flame inside his Sea of Consciousness.
This three heavenly flame will become the key for him to cultivate a good alchemist. This will ensure that his faction can rely on its own when it comes to source of pills and not depend entirely on Aflame Imperial Family until they also turn into its subsidiary force in the end.
While looking at the three treasures inside his Sea of Consciousness, Cole can't help but smile happily.
Fortunately, although all the field boss they defeated didn't give them even a single EXP since it was use to mature instantly the growing-phase heavenly flame, they still drop a usual, valuable loots.
For instance, the Extreme Cold North Pine Tree drop a the [Burning Ice Golem Spirit Creation] skill crystal. Among the skills the field boss has, this one is the one that he eyed the most and he fortunately got lucky in the end.
After clearing the four floating island, they spend some time to recover and stabilize their state on the fourth island. It was only when they return into their best state then they flew into the last floating island.
Unlike the other islands with barren situation, the last island were covered with rich amount of flowers and even the trees were specializes on flowering.
There were different species of flower in the area but there is one thing common about them—they were fire and Yang attributed treasures.
When they set foot on the floating island, they made sure not to destroy the perfect picture. They then walk towards the middle of the island.
But not long after, a creature appear in front of their eyes.
Golden Winged Bee [Divine-Rank] Level : 49 Affinity : Metal, Fire Potential : ∅ [Introduction : Golden Winged Bee's were peaceful in nature but you'll face the wrath of the whole hive should you attack even one off them.]
After seeing the little creature, everyone of them show different reaction.
Fernan and Fernand only gave the bee a casual glance. Apparently, they're ignorant but this was expected since they were nothing but a low class mountain bandits.
Fernando and Mikoes, on the other hand, instantly turn pale and they subconsciously get closer to Cole for protection. As a bandit that roam the sea and different territory, and a significant figure in powerful sect, they knew what exactly the creature in front of them.
It was the extinct Divine Beast! Or at the least, at the Azure Territory.
As for Celia, her instinct literally scream not to attack the cute creature. It was as though it was a dreadful opponent should not be casually provoked.
Meanwhile, Cole frown. That was because the information panel clearly indicate that the creature in front of him is a certified Divine-Rank lifeform. It was onpar with Celia when it comes to bloodline level.
Furthermore, as far as he knew, bee's live in hive. If a single, stray bee is already a Divine-Rank creature, then this does means that the whole hive is full of Divine-Rank creature?
Cole don't want to continue on thinking about it anymore.
Fortunately, its introduction said that it won't attack unless provoked. For the meantime, Cole don't the intention of attacking unless he fully learn their current predicament.
The golden bee is undoubtedly a Divine-Rank creature. It immediately learn Cole and his group's presence. It then flew towards them, encircle them as though it was checking them before returning on harvesting flower nectars and finally flew away.
Cole then follow the direction it flew towards to.
The higher the bloodline of beast is, the more bigger its usual size is. The golden bee they just encounter is as big as two baby fist. For the aboriginal of this world the size is just normal but it was gigantic in Cole's opinion.
But not long after, a strong bee sound reverberates and a cluster of them appear after. Cole ready his Summoning Grimoire but the dense bee didn't attack. Instead, it made a bee line for them to follow.
The bee's were actually leading them into somewhere and should be into their beehive.
With the number of bee's guiding them, it was apparent that the Queen of the beehive is aware of their presence and is now asking its little bees to lead them.
