Chapter 139: The Iron Chain Person's Plan

  "Ranked fifth in the Mineral Chart? Lianyang Pure Steel?" Du Fei said in surprise as he looked at the wordless heavenly book.

  "What's wrong, haven't you heard of it? They say that you young man has long hair but short vision, and yet you still don't believe it. There are many strange things in this world." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Hey, you'd better tell me about that mineral chart and what exactly is this 'Pure Sun Steel'." Du Fei asked anxiously.

  "This ore ranking is a ranking of the world's mineral materials, with the higher-ranking materials being increasingly rare. If weapons or armor are forged from these mineral materials, their power can be imagined. Some mineral materials are even rumored to exist. The iron chains locked on the madman's limbs are made of the fifth-ranked Lianyang Pure Steel. The impurities mixed in this steel are extremely rare, and its hardness is also unparalleled in the world. What's most extraordinary about Lianyang Pure Steel is that it contains fire elements, which means that as long as there is spiritual energy to drive it, the iron chains can automatically release fire elements. I see that the madman's iron chains have been carefully crafted, with many powerful arrays set up on them. Their greatest function is to suppress the old madman's power."

  "The power to suppress that old mixed hair, is it wrong? The strength of that old man now is already so powerful, if the iron chain is released, I don't know what it will be like." Du Fei is now shocked and can't be shocked anymore.

  "Then go and release him to see what kind of strength he really has." Wrote the Wordless Heavenly Book. Du Fei looked at the words on the Wordless Heavenly Book and shook his head quickly, saying: "Forget it, in my current state, I don't want to die so early."

  "Do you still know who you are? I thought you'd forgotten what you really are." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "You think you want to taste the flavor of urine?" Du Fei said angrily to Wu Zi Tian Shu.

  "Heh heh, forget it, I don't want to. By the way, you should hurry up and cultivate now." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "I'm too lazy to bother with you, I won't go out now. After I finish cultivating the first stage of Fumo Golden Strength, I'll go and catch that old guy." After finishing speaking, Du Fei started sitting cross-legged on the ground to treat his injuries.

  After about half an hour, Du Fei finally recovered. With a full spirit, he stood up and took off all his clothes on his upper body, revealing his lean muscles. His hands were also holding the Baxian Hammer.

  "What is this for?" the Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Cultivation, I've found a new way of cultivation, I want to give it a try." Du Fei said with a mysterious face.

  "Oh, new cultivation method, what is it?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "You'll know soon enough." Du Fei said, not bothering to explain. He simply raised the Heaven's Fury Mallet in his hands and jumped up several meters high, the mallet's head also wrapped in a ball of fiery flames. He slammed it down onto the pile of silver steel iron stones on the casting platform. As he swung the mallet, both of Du Fei's arms instantly turned golden in color. His body rapidly descended downwards, the raised Heaven's Fury Mallet seemingly possessing the power to shake mountains as it heavily smashed onto the surface of the silver steel iron stones. A loud "CLANG" echoed out, and sparks flew off the surface of the silver steel iron stones from Du Fei's fierce blow. The silver steel iron stones that were struck by Du Fei underwent a clear change, with a shallow hammer imprint appearing on the surface of the ore. This seemingly light hammer imprint was not simple - Du Fei had spent almost half a year striking at the silver steel iron stones without being able to produce this kind of imprint, showing just how powerful his previous blow was.

  Du Fei also stopped his actions and quickly ran to the front of Yīn Gāng Tiě Shí, carefully looking at it. Seeing the hammer mark on Yīn Gāng Tiě Shí, Du Fei's face lit up with excitement. "Haha, succeeded, succeeded!" Du Fei burst into loud laughter.

  "Oh, so that's what you meant by the new cultivation method. So it's about using the Demon-Subduing Golden Arm to pound on ore, right? First, it can cultivate the Demon-Subduing Golden Arm Transformation; second, it can cultivate Casting Techniques; and third, it can refine equipment. Am I correct? One move with three benefits." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Haha, that's right! This is the method. I didn't think this Golden Dragon Claw would be so powerful. With it, I'll be able to control the golden elements in my body more easily." Du Fei said, looking at his own hands.

  "But this method is very costly in terms of your vital energy. I estimate that you won't be able to withstand more than ten blows before your vital energy is completely depleted." The Scripture of the Wordless wrote.

  "I know, but I can recover again, and another benefit is that it can cultivate one's own yuanqi capacity, you didn't mention that earlier." Du Fei said with a pleased expression as he looked at the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "Good, I suppose you little brat just happened to be right this time." Wrote the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "What a coincidence, if it wasn't for those two attacks when I was running away at that time, I wouldn't have thought of it. So to speak, I still want to thank that old scoundrel, haha, next time I meet him, I'll 'thank' him properly." Du Fei said as he rubbed his sore spots, then picked up the Bao Tian hammer again and continued to pound away at the pile of silver steel rocks.

  The wordless heavenly book was also guessed to be extremely accurate, and Du Fei had already lost all his vitality by the tenth punch. Du Fei couldn't help it, he could only sit on the ground to recover his vitality, and after his vitality was full, he would come back to practice again.

  Every night, Du Fei would consciously come to the cliff edge to wait for the apes, but he hadn't seen any sign of them for several nights in a row. Instead, he encountered many yuan beasts, and Du Fei fought those he could defeat and ran from those he couldn't. Fortunately, he didn't encounter that old madman again. After several nights of waiting in vain, Du Fei was convinced that the apes wouldn't come. Although he didn't know the reason, from the appearance of the yuan beasts, he knew that when the apes appeared before, the surroundings were unusually quiet. It was clear that those yuan beasts had been frightened away by the killing aura emitted by the apes. Now that the apes no longer came, those yuan beasts returned to their usual state. However, Du Fei didn't lose heart. This was also good, as he could focus on his new cultivation method. At this time, how could Du Fei understand the ape's intention? In fact, after learning that Du Fei had broken through to the Condensed Yuan Realm, the ape had already let Du Fei fend for himself in the Human-Devouring Gorge.

  Inside a gigantic skeleton:

  A tattered and disheveled figure sat cross-legged on the ground, with a faint blue glow emanating from his entire body. It was none other than Dugu Zhāo Liè. At this moment, Dugu's eyebrows were furrowed in concentration, his face contorted in pain, with a plume of white smoke rising from his head and large beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks.

  "Ah..." A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Dugu Zhāo Lìè's body suddenly plunged forward. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to support himself with one hand, preventing him from falling to the ground. Dugu Zhāo Lìè painfully lifted his head, his face deathly pale, with bloodstains at the corners of his mouth. At this moment, Dugu Zhāo Lìè looked extremely weak. "This old man's seal is too powerful, no matter what I do, I can't break through it." Dugu Zhāo Lìè said with great effort. As he spoke, Dugu Zhāo Lìè gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, violently pounding the ground. A loud "Boom" echoed out, and a several-meter-wide crater appeared on the ground where Dugu Zhāo Lìè had struck it.

  "Ah..." Dugu Zhāo Liè suddenly let out a loud cry, venting the resentment in his heart. After venting for a while, Dugu Zhāo Liè sat up straight again, circulating his vital energy once more. However, not long after, he spat out fresh blood again, and his condition was even more severe than before.

  "Dugu Zhāo Liè, don't bother trying anymore. With your current strength, it's impossible to break through the seal within your body. The more you force it, the greater the damage will be to yourself. If you end up damaging your meridians, even if the seal is removed, your strength will still be greatly reduced. Besides, even if you manage to break through the seal, what then? Those iron chains on your body aren't just for show." A figure appeared behind Dugu Zhāo Liè, it was Yuan Hóng, but Dugu Zhāo Liè didn't react at all, he simply closed his eyes and endured the pain.

  The gibbon saw that Du Guo Zhuolei didn't respond to himself and was also somewhat angry, but the principal smiled slightly and looked at the gibbon. The gibbon didn't speak either, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, staring at Du Guo Zhuolei.

  "Dugu predecessor, what my junior just said is the truth. You'd better not waste your effort anymore, it's not good for you." The principal said calmly.

  "What I do is none of your business, don't think that just because I'm a prisoner now you can order me around, I won't fall for that." Dugu Zhāo Liè said coldly with his eyes still closed.

  "In that case, do as you please. We won't disturb Senior anymore. One last thing Junior wants to remind Senior is that the Human Slaying Valley is shrouded in a large array. This array is a great killing array. If Senior tries to force his way through this array, he will surely end up with no bones left. I advise Senior not to make such a futile move. Junior will come visit Senior again another day, and now takes his leave." The principal finished speaking, turned around and disappeared with the ape by Dugu Zhāo Liè's side.

  "I never thought that I, Dugu Zhāo Liè, would end up in such a miserable state." Dugu Zhāo Liè clenched his fists and closed his eyes, venting the grievances in his heart. After a while, he lifted the iron chains on his hands and pulled them violently several times, but the chains didn't budge. Facing the chains, he was also helpless. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind: "Perhaps that little demon can help me... who knows?"
