"Many thanks, young master, for your great kindness!" Wei Kang knew his current situation well and did not refuse.
After a round of thanks, he took the elixir and sat down cross-legged, beginning to refine it.
"Rest here and heal your wounds. Don't wander around. I'll go take a look!" Xu Chuan instructed.
With that, he walked deeper into the area, beginning his search for the suppressed Solar Origin and the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
However, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Chuan set up a simple confinement formation around Wei Kang before leaving and left behind some food.
Until he found the two opportunities, Wei Kang would have to stay here.
With a wave of his hand, a ball of Solar True Fire appeared, illuminating the entire space.
Only then did Xu Chuan realize that this seemed to be a cave, with cracks covering the stone walls.
The cracks looked like they were caused by high-temperature burning.
As he walked further into the cave, Xu Chuan could clearly feel the temperature inside significantly rising.
Moreover, the Solar True Fire in his hand began to flicker, as if being drawn by something.
"It seems we are close!" Xu Chuan murmured and continued to press on.
After about half an hour, light suddenly appeared ahead.
"Whoosh!"
Without hesitation, Xu Chuan flashed forward rapidly.
Unexpectedly, when he reached the end of the cave, the ground suddenly gave way beneath him, and Xu Chuan fell.
When he stabilized himself, he found that the end of the cave led to an unimaginably vast pit, its length and width unknown.
At the bottom of the pit, a massive ball of light appeared before Xu Chuan.
Flames burned around the ball of light.
These flames originated from the same source as his Solar True Fire!
Within the ball of light, it looked like magma was flowing.
Upon seeing this object, Xu Chuan's eyes were completely captivated.
This was the opportunity he had been seeking: the complete Solar Origin!
Compared to it, the Solar Origin he had obtained before was like a sesame seed next to a watermelon!
"An opportunity, a great opportunity!"
"This object rightfully belongs to me!"
Xu Chuan was incredibly excited and impatiently flew towards the origin.
The closer he got, the more terrifying the surrounding temperature became.
By the time he was completely close, the terrifying temperature seemed capable of refining everything!
Even Xu Chuan, with his Solar Sacred Body, found it somewhat unbearable.
He quickly circulated the Great Sun Demonic God Body Refinement Scripture and began to gradually adapt to the temperature.
At this point, Xu Chuan understood why Wei Kang had lost his life the moment he saw the Solar Origin.
How could a martial artist at the second level of Body Tempering withstand such a terrifying temperature?
"Where is the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow?"
Having found the Solar Origin, Xu Chuan began to search for the other great opportunity.
His divine sense swept around, and he finally discovered the trace of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow deep within the Solar Origin.
A golden-red bow was silently suspended in the depths of the origin, and a suppressing force emanated from it, firmly holding the Solar Origin in place.
If not for its suppression, the terrifying temperature emitted by the Solar Origin would instantly vaporize the river water above, and even the entire Great Desolate Dynasty would be reduced to scorched earth!
In a sense, its existence had saved the entire Great Desolate Dynasty!
Suddenly, Xu Chuan made a new discovery.
He saw a skeleton emitting a golden light beneath the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
Even at the center of the Solar Origin, this skeleton had not been burned.
"Who is this skeleton? How did it end up here?"
Xu Chuan looked at the skeleton in astonishment. The fact that even its bones could completely ignore the burning of the Solar Origin suggested that the strength of this skeleton in life was unimaginable.
He just couldn't figure out why it died here.
"Could it be him?"
After pondering for a long time, Xu Chuan had some guesses.
The legendary Sun-Shooting Emperor Venerable, after shooting down two suns, had disappeared and never reappeared.
Now, the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow appeared here, along with a skeleton.
The identity of this skeleton was evident.
It must be that Sun-Shooting Emperor Venerable!
It was a pity that a generation's hero died here, unknown to anyone!
It seemed that in order to shoot down the two suns, he had overdrawn everything he had, including his life and soul!
It was not as the legends said, that he had shot down the two suns in an invincible manner.
In the last moments of his life, to give hope to the people living in this place, he used himself and the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow to completely suppress the Solar Origin here.
"Respectable!" Xu Chuan's expression was solemn.
He greatly admired the man's actions.
Xu Chuan believed he could not achieve such a selfless act of saving all living beings.
Yet, this man not only achieved it but even continued to protect the common people after his death.
"Let me end it!"
Xu Chuan looked at the skeleton, the Solar Origin, and the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, and said softly.
After countless years, it was time for release.
"I will surely make this Sun-Shooting Divine Bow shine again!" Xu Chuan said with firm determination and a resolute look in his eyes.
With that, Xu Chuan plunged directly into the complete Solar Origin, intending to refine it first.
With the suppression of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, the refinement was considerably easier.
As soon as he entered the origin, Xu Chuan felt a terrifying temperature, as if it would refine him directly.
Endless Solar True Fire attacked him, constantly burning his body.
This true fire was completely different from his own; it was extremely aggressive!
In just a short while, all of Xu Chuan's clothes were burned away.
Furthermore, all the hair on his body met the same fate.
At this moment, Xu Chuan's skin was charred and cracked, completely unrecognizable as human.
"So terrifying!"
This momentary sensation caused Xu Chuan's heart to sink.
This Solar Origin was too active, completely different from the one he had obtained before.
He had rushed in like a reckless fool, which was simply suicidal!
"No, I can't go on like this!" Xu Chuan's expression became grave. If he didn't act, not only Wei Kang but he himself would perish here today!
Therefore, Xu Chuan began to circulate the Great Sun Demonic God Body Refinement Scripture and the Primordial Xuan Yang Scripture with all his might. With their mutual cooperation, things improved considerably.
At the same time, Xu Chuan's Solar Sacred Body was fully activated at this moment. Traces of origin power were absorbed by Xu Chuan, beginning to temper his physique.
"Come on, let you forge my strongest physique!"
Xu Chuan roared and directly accelerated the refinement speed.
"Ah!"
Immediately, heart-wrenching pain struck.
His body couldn't bear it and began to crack.
Blood flowed out and was instantly vaporized.
The next moment, Xu Chuan's internal Yuan energy circulated, and it began to repair these cracks.
But the faster the repair, the faster his body shattered.
Xu Chuan let out a great cry, and the refinement of the Solar Origin continued in this cycle.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Chuan finally adapted to this pain, and the refinement speed also increased.
