Chapitre 60: Chapter 60 Fire Spirit Replica!
Hearing Jiang Yun agree to his request, Yao Tianhuo finally showed a relieved smile. He could finally leave this dark and endless place and wouldn't die unwillingly in the underground magma.
Seeing Jiang Yun put away the "Five Wheels Fire Control Method," Yao Tianhuo's face displayed a hint of pride. "The 'Five Wheels Fire Control Method' was my fire control technique back in the day. This method is divided into five levels, each distinguished by the form of a beast: wolf, leopard, lion, tiger, and dragon. Each level has its own fire spirit. When the method is perfected, the five beasts gather and form the Five Wheels Fire Array, possessing the mighty power of boiling seas and burning the sky."
"If four of the five beasts are condensed from different types of fire, this method's power can rival that of a heavenly rank battle technique!"
"Heavenly rank battle technique, huh? That's indeed quite impressive!" Jiang Yun nodded calmly, his eyes showing no ripples of emotion.
Seeing Jiang Yun's indifferent disposition, Yao Tianhuo's breath almost halted. Are geniuses nowadays all so detached? This is a heavenly rank battle technique we're talking about, something even a Douzun (Battle Venerable) would fight for!
Indeed, creating a battle technique comparable to a heavenly rank technique marks Yao Tianhuo as a genius. Anyone who possesses different types of flames is exceptionally capable. Even though the Five Wheels Fire Control Method requires quite harsh conditions to unleash the power of a heavenly rank battle technique, it is undoubtedly a feasible heavenly rank method. Creating such a technique with the body of a Douzun is indeed a great feat.
However, for Jiang Yun, he was only interested in the final Five Wheels Fire Array of the Five Wheels Fire Control Method. He hadn't even finished learning the divine techniques and divine abilities passed down within his own clan. As for Dou Qi Continent's combat techniques, unless they had special attributes, he wouldn't be interested even in high-level heavenly rank techniques.
Seeing that Jiang Yun genuinely didn't care about a heavenly rank technique, Yao Tianhuo looked at his skeleton with a hint of sorrow in his eyes and sighed, "Please also take my remains with you. After all, they are the bones of a Douzun, which might have some special uses."
Jiang Yun nodded slightly. If he ever got the chance to resurrect someone, it was better to have their own bones. He waved his hand, collecting all the bones into a ring, and the surrounding light circle lost its power source and started to dissolve bit by bit.
After gathering the bones, Jiang Yun turned to Yao Tianhuo and said, "Senior Yao, let's leave now."
Looking at the Heart Flame of Fallen Heart (Yimu Xin Yan) beside him, Yao Tianhuo hesitated. "There's no way to preserve this different flame. Do you have a method to carry it? If not, I can help."
Hearing this, Jiang Yun looked at the immature Heart Flame of Fallen Heart. Compared to the previously mature Invisible Fire Python, this Heart Flame was pathetically weak. Although they were of the same quality, this Heart Flame's power was only between Dou Ling (Battle Spirit) and Dou Wang (Battle King) levels, making it extremely weak.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun opened his mouth and inhaled. The infant Heart Flame turned into an invisible flame and entered his body, then moved into his qi cyclone in his belly. Seeing this, the Saint Demon Flame immediately took the flame inside, to keep the Heart Flame company.
Now that his body had both the Seaheart Flame and the Heart Flame of Fallen Heart, it was time to deal with them.
"You shouldn't, the power of different flames is extremely violent; taking it into your body without any preparation will…" Yao Tianhuo shouted, seeing Jiang Yun directly swallow the infant flame, but his voice cut off abruptly.
Jiang Yun stood there calmly after absorbing the Heart Flame, watching Yao Tianhuo.
"Is that even possible?" Yao Tianhuo couldn't believe what he was seeing. When he refined different flames back then, despite all the preparations, he almost burned himself alive. Why was there such a disparity here?
"Your skills are remarkable, youngster. It seems I was overly cautious!" He sighed with a hint of self-closure, and his ephemeral form blended into the ring, which then landed in Jiang Yun's palm by itself.
Jiang Yun's body was once again wrapped in white flames. He shot out with a light touch of his toes, heading out of the light circle.
Back in the magma sea, Jiang Yun held a scroll and was carefully studying it while also simulating it in his mind.
"This Burning Art is quite interesting. I'm starting to believe it's the cultivation method for the Eternal Flame Undying Body. I didn't expect such a world-shaking technique to appear in such a small lower dimension." Qing Ming, who was watching beside him, sighed emotionally. Although this technique appeared ordinary and was nothing more than a low-level Yellow rank technique, easily surpassed by any technique found on the streets, Qing Ming's sharp eyes saw through its essence. It was a technique that could grow infinitely.
Even if it had many flaws and was incomplete, one couldn't deny its mystical nature.
"Unfortunately, it's incomplete," Jiang Yun closed the technique with a flat tone. He was almost certain that if the Saint Demon Emperor's claim that the master of the Eternal Flame Undying Body perished here was true, then the Burning Art was indeed its cultivation method.
Moreover, the version in Yao Chen's possession was also incomplete. Xiao Yan and the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe both cultivated this technique. The difference was that Xiao Yan gradually perfected it with his talent, reaching the level of a Heavenly Sovereign at the Saint rank, eventually transcending and achieving the level of the Great Ruler.
As for the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, he wasn't so fortunate. Being a spirit of a different flame, his cultivation was initially slow, and he was always a coveted target in the Great Thousand World. What happened to him in the end, Jiang Yun was unsure.
"Do you plan to cultivate this?" Qing Ming looked at Jiang Yun, somewhat uncertain, and asked.
Jiang Yun hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senior Qing Ming, what level of power do you think is needed to truly liberate the Evil Spirit Clan?"
Qing Ming was slightly taken aback, opened his mouth but remained silent.
"Not even a Saint rank Heavenly Sovereign would be sufficient, right?" Jiang Yun said calmly, "Only someone like the Immortal Emperor, or even stronger, can lead my clan to true liberation, right?"
"This…" Qing Ming looked at Jiang Yun, his eyes filled with sympathy and unspoken words.
"That's impossible, isn't it?" Jiang Yun received Qing Ming's response, then raised a brilliant smile, his gaze firm, "We are all on this journey. How can you know whether or not I can succeed?"
"My current cultivation is essentially all given by the Saint Demon Emperor. Although I now borrow the power of the Heart Flame of Fallen Heart to break free of his influence, I still live under his shadow. How can I surpass him like this?"
"Now I have an idea. If successful, I may be able to achieve what others cannot in the future!"
Jiang Yun's voice was filled with confidence. Looking at the radiant young man before him, Qing Ming sighed and said complexly, "Maybe you're right. Go ahead; I will always support you!"
Hearing Qing Ming's words, Jiang Yun felt a warmth in his heart. Qing Ming's stance was no different from Jiang Hong's; it was as if his 'grandfather' was supporting him, making Jiang Yun feel solid ground under his feet.
With his resolve firm, Jiang Yun focused his mind. The Saint Demon Flame emerged from his qi cyclone and floated before him. Looking at the dancing black-and-white flames, Jiang Yun's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he muttered, "Don't disappoint me!" As he finished speaking, his hands formed a rapid seal, and a formation slowly took shape.
Simultaneously, spiritual energy began to gather quickly from heaven and earth, eventually forming a spiritual seed that, under Jiang Yun's control, slowly entered the black flame of the Saint Demon Flame.
"Sizzle—" As time passed, the black flame began to wriggle, and Jiang Yun clearly felt as if something was being born.
"It's now!" At this moment, Jiang Yun's eyes flashed coldly. He gently raised his hand and formed an ancient, mysterious seal.
Buzz!
When the seal was formed, a mystical wave seemed to resonate through heaven and earth and then spread out.
A muttering sound with an inexplicable charm echoed. Suddenly, a deep purple light shone from Jiang Yun's forehead, and a purple eye suddenly opened, casting a purple light from Jiang Yun's eyes.
The light rolled and swirled in front of Jiang Yun, vaguely forming an illusory purple long knife. The long knife was extremely eerie, as if one slash could sever something in one's soul. Though visible, it gave an ethereal and elusive sensation.
"This is…"
"Does the Evil Spirit Clan even have such a divine ability?" Qing Ming looked at the scene before him with uncertainty. He didn't remember the Evil Spirit Clan having such an ability.
Indeed, this wasn't a divine ability of the Evil Spirit Clan but Jiang Yun's innate divine ability. Each member of the Evil Spirit Clan was born with different talents, and their divine abilities varied. Qing Ming not recognizing it was normal!
"Cut—" At this moment, Jiang Yun suddenly controlled the long knife and slashed heavily toward the depths of his soul.
In the next moment, Jiang Yun felt as if he had lost something but also as if he had not lost anything. It was a peculiar feeling. Beside him, a purple profound light kept wriggling.
Jiang Yun raised a finger, and with a swish, the profound light darted towards the black flame.
Buzz—
As soon as the purple profound light entered the black flame, the black flame suddenly separated from the white flame and kept wriggling, gradually forming a slender figure.
The figure wore a black robe, looking similar to Jiang Yun by seventy percent. His whole body was surrounded by black flames, and his eyes, like black holes, emitted a terrifying devouring force.
"What is this?" Qing Ming stared wide-eyed at the scene. He knew about fire spirits, but this Saint Demon Flame transforming into a fire spirit with Jiang Yun's aura—what was going on?
"My name is Jiang Yun." The black-robed figure looked at Jiang Yun and coldly spoke.
Jiang Yun looked at the figure, or rather, the fire spirit, and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
The figure sensed for a moment and slowly shook his head.
Although the figure was a manifestation of his will and shared his thoughts, there was still a primary-secondary distinction. The figure was merely half of the Saint Demon Flame's fire spirit, while Jiang Yun had refined the flame, making him the absolute master.
If Jiang Yun were to perish, the figure's consciousness would dissipate as well.
"From now on, your name will be Yun Yi," Jiang Yun said softly to the figure.
Yun Yi expressionlessly nodded. To him, a name was just a label. If not for the fear of incurring heavy karma, he would have liked to experience An Lan's identity just once.
Seeing Yun Yi had no objections, Jiang Yun took the Seaheart Flame and tossed it to him, saying, "To defeat the Saint Demon Emperor is no simple task; it requires our joint effort."
"Take the Seaheart Flame and devour it."
Yun Yi did not refuse. He silently took the Seaheart Flame to a corner and began devouring it with his flames.
"Indeed, you have quite an idea!" Qing Ming, who had come over, said with a complex expression, glancing at Yun Yi silently devouring the Seaheart Flame. "He can be considered a fire spirit made from a different flame, not a true replica, and is far from the One Qi Forming Three Pure Ones of the replica path. Aren't you afraid of him rebelling?"
Jiang Yun smiled faintly, his eyes full of confidence. "He's merely infused with a sliver of my will and transformed from half of the Saint Demon Flame, while the other half remains within me. Furthermore, I have refined him; there's absolutely no risk of rebellion!"
Jiang Yun knew the risk of the path of replicas but also knew how convenient it was to have one. Besides, would he ever undertake something he wasn't confident in?
He had refined less than one percent of the Saint Demon Flame. This meant his replica's upper limit was fixed, capable of refining fifteen to twenty top different flames at most. This was one of Jiang Yun's sources of confidence.
"As long as you know what you're doing," Qing Ming nodded and said no more.
Watching Yun Yi methodically devour the Seaheart Flame, Jiang Yun took out several jade boxes from his ring.
He now needed to refine a fifth-grade pill, the Nourishing Soul Elixir, for the Heavenly Fire Reverent. Having promised to do so, Jiang Yun naturally wouldn't go back on his word.
After gathering all the necessary ingredients to refine the Nourishing Soul Elixir, he summoned his cauldron, and flames gradually emerged from his fingertips, beginning the orderly refining process.
Fifth-grade pills were now a walk in the park for Jiang Yun, who had reached the Spirit realm of soul refining. Moreover, having acquired Han Feng's alchemy heritage, his alchemy skills improved daily.
In just three hours, the Nourishing Soul Elixir was successfully refined!
Looking at the jade-green liquid brimming with life in the cauldron, Jiang Yun flexed his finger, drawing the liquid out and letting it drip onto the ring, which began to absorb it slowly.
"Senior Yao, this is my down payment."
As the Nourishing Soul Elixir continued to seep into the ring, the white ring emitted a gradually brightening glow, and a voice filled with gratitude sounded from it.
"Thank you, young friend. I won't say more—words cannot express my gratitude. In the future, I will give my all to assist you!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yun smiled lightly, not taking it to heart. By the time he revived the other, a Douzun wouldn't pose any threat to him.
Glancing at Yun Yi, still absorbing the Seaheart Flame, Jiang Yun closed his eyes and began simulating the Burning Art in his mind, hoping to understand its fire refining properties to resume absorbing the suppressed Saint Demon Flame without worries.
Time flew by!
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed!
One day, while Jiang Yun was simulating in his mind, he suddenly felt a surge of power within. Startled, he opened his eyes to see that it came from Yun Yi.
At this moment, the Seaheart Flame that had surrounded Yun Yi had vanished!
