Chapter 718 - 562: Spirit Flame Advancement
Inside the main hall of the Yin Demon Sect.Upon hearing the words of the Green Robe Daoist from Changqing Temple, the Rock Demon pondered for a long time before responding in an emotionless tone:
"The sealing of Primordial Extreme Mountain has been reinforced by a Human Race Array Master. To lift the seal, we must find this cultivator to remove the source."
"Otherwise, Master Saint Ancestor cannot be freed in a short time."
"The suppressing objects in the Fallen Demon’s Land are two top-tier spirit communication treasures, the Great Derivation Celestial Star Map, and the Imperial Brush."
"These two treasures were personally placed by those old fellows, the Primordial Extreme Three Saints, and are extremely rare even in the Upper Realm."
Upon hearing of the set of heaven-defying treasures, even the several ancient beings present showed rare fluctuations in their expressions.
A hint of greed faintly surfaced, but each hid it well.
In the eyes of the Rock Demon, there was an imperceptible sneer.
At this moment, the Blood Prison Demon Venerable with black hair draping over his shoulders asked respectfully: "Dare I ask, Lord Rock Demon, with the cultivation of the Six Paths Saint Ancestor, even if it’s just a wisp of split soul, how can it be suppressed by two spirit communication treasures?"
"There were some incidents after the ancient war, and those matters are beyond your knowledge," the Rock Demon replied indifferently.
Several Divinity Transformation Demon Venerables from the Blood Realm subtly considered this ancient demon from the Ancient Demon Realm as their leader.
"Let’s focus on the current battle situation for now."
"Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch has fallen, someone needs to stand up to command the Holy Realm’s army. Who do you think is suitable?"
Then, silence returned to the hall.
...
Meanwhile.
The Five Great Cultivation Realms were already vigorously assembling armies of cultivators, preparing for the impending grand battle.
Qin Ming also returned to Wangyue Island.
He summoned all the cultivators of the Four Nations Alliance from the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, made arrangements, and they prepared individually.
No need for Qin Ming to worry too much.
During this time, he secretly sent a jade scroll to Xiao Xun through Celestial Edge Sea Pavilion’s channels in the East Sea.
Asking her to help investigate the location provided by Nanming Ancestor in the Demon Ruins, hoping to get that half-piece of the Reversed Scale Stele.
There were still several years before the real battle commenced.
He also went into seclusion to prepare for a while.
In the Little Spirit Realm.
Qin Ming took out an ancient lamp he obtained from the treasury to study it.
However, he found that no matter what methods he used, he couldn’t make the rusted lamp display its mystical properties.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat watching from the side scratched its head in confusion, "That’s odd, my senses aren’t wrong. This is indeed a good treasure."
Qin Ming wasn’t doubtful, as Supreme Yang had said it was brought back by survivors from Primordial Extreme Mountain.
After tinkering for half a day, nothing came of it.
He immediately summoned Qingyang the Old Demon from the Blood Massacre Spiritual Treasure to take a look.
Qingyang the Old Demon slowly awoke, his spirit body circled the ancient lamp several times before confidently saying:
"In my view, the ancient lamp is covered in Kui Spirit Pattern from ancient cultivators, with a High-Tier Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire sealed inside. To activate the lamp, one must use essence blood as a guide and soul as the medium to light up the Kui Spirit Pattern completely."
Qin Ming silently admired the old demon’s extensive knowledge for recognizing such an antique.
Besides, he was slightly expectant, especially since Qingyang the Old Demon mentioned a high-tier spirit fire being sealed inside.
He promptly bit his tongue and spat a thread of essence blood, then using his divine soul as a medium, he formed a mysterious rune in the air with his hands.
Suddenly.
In the next moment, the blood-colored rune was instantly absorbed by the ancient lamp before him. Following Qingyang the Old Demon’s guidance, he lit up the Kui Spirit Pattern on it.
Buzz~
The ancient bronze rust on the lamp’s surface began to peel away, and a blue-gold radiance started shining from the spirit patterns.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat watching intently exclaimed excitedly, "It’s working! See, I told you so!"
Seeing the Kui Spirit Pattern light up, Qin Ming felt a surge of joy, and he continued refining it.
In the blink of an eye, time flew by.
Half a month later, the blue-gold glow on the lamp’s surface grew increasingly intense, and the spirit patterns seemed to come alive as they flowed over the lamp, eventually gathering at the wick.
Boom!
Suddenly.
A burst of glazed flame erupted from the wick, radiating brilliant aurora-like colors, seemingly intent on illuminating the entire starry sky.
Accompanied by an unsettlingly hot temperature.
Even Qin Ming’s Late-stage Nascent Soul night dharma was suddenly stagnant, as if some force had completely isolated him, rendering him unable to sense the external spiritual qi, and transforming him into an ordinary person.
"Why does this feeling resemble the aurora power of isolating the Five Elements in Primordial Extreme Mountain?"
"What kind of spirit fire is this?"
However, Qin Ming revolved his spell and quickly dispelled the discomfort.
Any cultivator who acquired this ancient lamp wouldn’t imagine the wonders within, concealing such a mystical spirit fire.
"It’s actually a Tier Five Spirit Fire!"
"Could this be the legendary ’Aurora Glaze Flame’ of Primordial Extreme Mountain?" Qingyang the Old Demon exclaimed, seemingly caught off guard.
Upon hearing Qingyang the Old Demon,
Qin Ming gazed at the aurora-colored glazed flame before him, his face beaming with delight.
The Nascent Soul on his Purple Mansion Spirit Platform was also excited, and the Ancient Poison Flame within him was restless.
"If I were to fuse this flame with my Lifebound Spirit Fire, wouldn’t it reach an unimaginable height?"
Action speaks louder than words.
Qin Ming immediately opened his mouth and spat out, and the tri-colored Ancient Poison Flame flew out, directly pouncing towards the glaze flame within the ancient lamp.
Boom!
In an instant, the temperature in the cave mansion suddenly rose, frightening the Heaven-Devouring Rat so that it dared not watch any longer and hurriedly scurried away.
Although the Ancient Poison Flame is one grade lower than the glaze flame within the ancient lamp.
However, it contains a God-Burning Tribulation Fire from a past ordeal, carrying the might of the Great Dao.
The flame transformed by the tri-colored Griffin immediately entwined and battled with a Cyan Gold Fire Phoenix of aurora hue.
Qin Ming stared intently at the mid-air Spiritual Fire, unconcerned by how this tumultuous battle of devouring and fusion would unfold, as long as it results in the birth of a new Tier Five Spirit Fire.
However, he still hoped that the Ancient Poison Flame could be preserved, as it had been fused with multiple powerful flames along its ascendancy to a level that even the Nascent Soul Stage could not withstand.
He immediately activated the spell to help the Ancient Poison Flame devour and fuse with the Aurora Glaze Fire.
But owing to the influence of Aurora Power, Qin Ming’s mana could not be manifested.
He had no choice but to release powerful Divine Thoughts to assist in controlling the fusion of the Spirit Flame.
In the cave mansion, powerful Spirit Flames flickered unstably, and without Qin Ming’s commanding Divine Thoughts.
The Little Spirit Realm might have been reduced to ashes by the unstable Spiritual Fire.
Several days passed.
Roar!
Along with an intense and hot aura filling the cave mansion, a brand new four-colored glaze flame was born!
From this moment, the Ancient Poison Flame completely advanced to Tier Five level.
And when Qin Ming refined this Tier Five Ancient Poison Flame, he vaguely came into contact with Aurora Power.
With a thought, Qin Ming made the glaze flame dance and swirl in the air, once again transforming into a four-colored flaming Griffin, emitting extremely terrifying waves.
"This Tier Five Ancient Poison Flame, I’m afraid even the Divinity Transformation Stage couldn’t withstand it, could it? It directly isolates the Power of the Five Elements and comes with the God-Burning Tribulation Fire to scorch the Primordial Spirit...so overbearing!"
"Who could withstand this?"
Qingyang the Old Demon looked at this scene in utter shock, muttering.
He marveled at Qin Ming’s great fortune and destiny, for in the treasure house one could casually find such a heaven-defying spiritual object.
A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Qin Ming’s lips, as he made a grasping motion, and the four-colored flame instantly appeared in his palm, transforming into a miniature Griffin.
This Tier Five Poison Flame will become a powerful trump card.
Whether in alchemy, artifact refining, or combating enemies, it serves as a Great Divine Technique.
He was extremely satisfied, placing the Spiritual Fire into the Purple Mansion for further nurturing.
After taming the Spiritual Fire, the originally rusty ancient lamp seemed to have lost its core support, instantly becoming a pile of junk.
Then.
Qin Ming summoned the Heaven-Devouring Rat and rewarded it with several Cyan Night Scale Fish and a jar of Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid.
"Thank you, master!" The Heaven-Devouring Rat immediately grinned from ear to ear, happily clutching the spirit wine and spirit fish on its way out.
Next.
Qin Ming took out the millennial Tier Five Divine Crystal Fruit he had exchanged from Cold Crow Ascendant, and after recalling the cultivation method from the "Wood Transformation Spirit Manual," he decided to plant this fruit as well, since it’s an excellent item for continually growing the Divine Soul, and even has amazing effects at the Divinity Transformation Stage.
After all, he has entries; farming for more will cultivate a plant that can be harvested infinitely.
While planting the Divine Crystal Fruit, he could also study the pill formula for Crystal Thought Pill and collect other auxiliary materials.
Fortunately, the cultivation of Divine Crystal Fruit doesn’t require many spiritual objects, but it demands a high spiritual Qi environment.
Luckily, the Tier Five Spirit Veins within the Little Spirit Realm are sufficient for use.
Qin Ming arrived before the three-inch tall Heart Inquiry Fruit Tree, with Little Silver Fox holding a High-Grade Spirit Stone in hand, performing the Five Elements Spirit Rain Technique to water and fatten it.
Tian Ling’er was observing and learning nearby.
"Elder Qin!"
The two girl disciples halted their tasks and greeted Qin Ming as he approached.
"Mm! Not bad!"
Qin Ming observed the vigorously growing Heart Inquiry Fruit Tree without any issues.
Then he rewarded them with some Spirit Brew and Spirit Fish.
...
Time passed by, and five years flashed by.
Qin Ming poured heart and soul, spending all the [Ripening] entries on his Lifebound Spirit Plant.
And once again, it bore over ten silver Spirit Pattern fruits, radiating a subtle yet formidable spiritual mechanism.
Within his view, three golden entries have already formed:
[Name]: Immortal Vine [Entry]: Nascent Soul Mana x5 (Maturity 100%, ready to harvest)
[Name]: Immortal Vine [Entry]: Time Flies x5 (Maturity 100%, ready to harvest)
[Name]: Immortal Vine [Entry]: Abundant Lifespan x5 (Maturity 100%, ready to harvest)
Joy flashed across Qin Ming’s face, and with a swipe of his sleeve, a stream of green mana tassel swept through the black vines.
Collecting all the silver fruits gathered.
Following that, his Sea of Consciousness gained fifteen violet entry leaves.
