Chapter 6 - Wheel Of Destiny

"Certainly," declared Flux Fire, his spiritual power resonating strongly. "Not only that, but with my formidable spiritual abilities, I am both an alchemist and a formationist."

Long Chen's face lit up with a knowing smile. "That's great news," he said. "You can help me concoct pills."

Flux Fire's expression shifted, a hint of surprise and disbelief in his eyes. "What? What do you think of me?" he retorted, staring at Long Chen.

Long Chen maintained his calm demeanour "You're the one who promised to take full responsibility, remember? Or do you intend to break your promise?" he asked pointedly.

Flux Fire hesitated, then sighed. "How can you be so shameless, wanting to make me a lowly alchemist, have you forgotten my identity?" he grumbled.

"Can you do it or not?" he pressed.

"Of course," Flux Fire replied with pride. "My spiritual power is at level thirty; no alchemist in the country can rival me."

"Then it's settled," Long Chen said as he sat up. "You'll make me cultivation pills."

Long Chen, who had been listening, chimed in with a curious question. "How much do you know about me?"

Flux Fire, with a knowing look, responded, "Everything. I know you're not the true owner of this body but a reincarnated soul. You died at the hands of someone you loved and trusted, and now you seek strength for revenge."

Long Chen's anger flared at the mention of love. "She is not the one I love," he declared.

Flux Fire, unperturbed, revealed, "Even though I was still in that egg, I retained my consciousness."

Long Chen, intrigued by Flux Fire's long existence, inquired, "Since you've been alive for so long, you must possess a wealth of knowledge. Do you have any idea how I reincarnated?"

"It must be because of the Wheel of Destiny. It decides the fate of every creature," Flux Fire said.

"Even if you cultivate to the level of a god, you will still be weak and insignificant to them; they can kill you with a flick of a hand," Flux Fire said.

"Then what can I do? My chances of revenge are too low," Long Chen asked with a downcast look.

"There is something you don't know about yourself," Flux Fire said.

"What is that?" Long Chen asked.

"It seems like I forgot to mention, you can control 2 out of the great laws of the universe. You can control space and time. I have never seen a human having that ability," Flux Fire said, looking at Long Chen with a surprised gaze.

"You are barely worthy of me," Flux Fire said with a proud gaze.

"If that is the case, I need to keep this ability a secret until I am strong enough to protect myself," Long Chen said with a serious gaze.

"The five beasts of chaos have been lost for a long time. Why do you all suddenly appear in this body?" Long Chen asked, looking at Flux Fire with a questioning gaze.

"I am not answering that for you. All you need to know is that the five beasts of chaos wanted to do something big, and the Wheel of Destiny locked us. It separated our body from our soul," Flux Fire said.

"This is not my real body; it is because of my enormous strength that my soul can materialize in the real world," Flux Fire said with pride.

"Not your real body? Then where is it?" Long Chen asked.

"It is in a place you can't get to due to your weakness," Flux Fire said, looking at Long Chen with contempt in its eyes.

"Because this is not my real body, I can only use less than 50 percent of my powers, and because you are too weak to handle it, I can see only use less than one percent of my full ability," Flux Fire said.

"Do you think with your puny little life force you can handle our consumption? You will die immediately after we start" Flux Fire said looking at Long Chen with an annoyed gaze.

"To strengthen my body and increase my cultivation, I will need a lot of beast cores. It will help me become stronger faster," Flux Fire said.

"Beast cores contain a lot of life force. If I absorb them, my power will get stronger faster. It is a win-win for both of us; I get stronger, and you get support," Flux Fire said.

Long Chen nodded in understanding. "So, we need to find and collect these beast cores to help you regain your full strength. It sounds like a challenging but worthwhile endeavour."

Flux Fire agreed, "Indeed, it won't be easy, but with your potential and my guidance, we can make it happen."

Long Chen's determination showed in his eyes. "I'll do whatever it takes to become stronger and unravel the mysteries of my existence."

"I can train you in the way of space," Flux Fire said.

"What? You can manipulate space?" Long Chen asked with wide eyes.

"I am the leader of the five beasts of chaos; I can manipulate and control space and time. While the others can at most manipulate the other beasts' path of the seven great laws, I can also create a spatial treasure for you. But I will need some materials," Flux Fire said.

"Of course, list them," Long Chen said.

Flux Fire listed the materials needed for creating a spatial treasure, which included rare crystals, celestial stones, the essence of spatial energy, and a cauldron. Long Chen nodded, understanding the gravity of the task.

"I'll start searching for these materials immediately," Long Chen declared.

Flux Fire nodded in approval. "Good. Once we have the materials, I'll guide you in creating a spatial treasure that will greatly enhance your abilities."

"You also have to create some cultivation pills for me," Long Chen said.

"Yeah, anything you want," Flux Fire said with a smile.

"Wait, why are you accepting it quickly?" Long Chen asked with a suspicious look and his eyebrow raised.

"Once you get stronger, you will be able to get my body back, and I won't have to remain a chicken," Flux Fire said with a mischievous grin.

" I need to get stronger to handle the rate at which my life force is being drained," Long Chen said with determination.
