Chapter 155: Overlord's Sword, Jin Lie (Part 1)

  Innate true fire, tightly surrounding the 'Seven Flame Red Lotus', advancing wave after wave.

  Xuántiān, through the Xiantian True Qi, sensed the existence of 'Seven Flames Red Lotus' and controlled the Xiantian True Qi to invade the interior of 'Seven Flames Red Lotus', assimilating it.

  As a result, the innate true fire is consumed more quickly.

  But the process of assimilating 'Seven Flame Red Lotus' is very slow.

  The innate true fire was incinerated into nothingness as soon as it came into contact with the 'Seven Flames Red Lotus', and invaded its interior. How could that be easy?

  With enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle.

  Many things seem impossible at first but can still be accomplished with persistent effort.

  Just like water and stone, softness is unmatched. Logically, water cannot break through stone, but with enough time, it can penetrate the stone.

  The congenital true fire is quite fragile compared to the 'Seven Flames Red Lotus', but the congenital true fire released by Xuan Tian is continuous and unrelenting, and will eventually wear down even the hardest stone.

  Time is passing minute by minute and second by second.

  The Xuantian released the pre-heavenly true fire, which was continuously burned by the 'Seven Flame Red Lotus' and continuously pounced on it.

  Perceiving the unceasing feeling of the flame nature in 'Seven Blazing Red Lotus'.

  The innate true fire, constantly invading the interior of 'Seven Flame Red Lotus'.

  After a long time, Xuan Tian's innate true energy was also insufficient. He swallowed an elixir pill, which quickly refined and transformed into thick innate true energy, stored in his dantian.

  With the supplement of Dan medicine, the true Qi in the Xuantian body is endless and inexhaustible.

  Time is passing minute by minute and second by second.

  Day turned into night.

  Xuantian continuously released his pre-heavenly true fire, surrounding the 'Seven Flames Red Lotus' and charging into it.

  Because they are of the same attribute, as Xuantian's understanding of the fire attribute power of 'Seven Flame Red Lotus' deepens, the lethality of the innate true fire released by 'Seven Flame Red Lotus' to Xuantian becomes smaller and smaller.

  This shows that between two flames, they are gradually assimilating.

  Once fully assimilated, even "Seven Inferno Crimson Lotus" would not be able to harm Xuan Tian.

  At the same time as Xuantian Tonghua's 'Seven Flame Red Lotus', Long Ziyuan stood beside a mountain valley, constantly absorbing the dragon's blood pulse from the 'Dragon Blood Grass'.

  They have mutual achievements.

  The night has passed, the sky is brightening, a new day has arrived.

  Xuántiān and Lóng Zǐyán both stayed up all night, each doing their own thing.

  After a day and night of comprehension, Xuan Tian had already assimilated the 'Seven Flame Red Lotus' by 99%, only one step away from complete assimilation, which would allow him to recall it into his body, making it an extremely important trump card for Xuan Tian. Even a late-stage Pre-Heaven expert who came into contact with the 'Seven Flame Red Lotus' would be reduced to ashes.

  Long Ziyuan had also reached a critical juncture after a day and night of refining and absorbing the 'Dragon's Blood Grass'.

  Her cultivation had reached the boundary point of the third peak of the Pre-Heavenly Realm, and as the Dragon's Bloodline in her body grew stronger, her cultivation began to break through to the fourth realm of the Pre-Heavenly Realm.

  Even if Xuan Tian was dozens of meters away from her, he could still sense the changes in the aura around Long Ziyuan's body at this moment, and knew that she was breaking through to the Fourth Heaven of the Pre-Heaven Realm.

  However, Xuan Tian did not look back and instead focused on assimilating with the 'Seven Flame Red Lotus'.

  In the process of assimilation, a breath is needed, and no mistakes can be made, otherwise everything will be abandoned and started from scratch.

  It can also be known from this that it is not easy to obtain a kind of 'heavenly fire', and even if you are lucky enough to discover it, it is difficult to get.

  Xuántiān possesses a super-perfect fire attribute physique, requiring a whole day and night, with no room for error in between, unable to sleep, and needing to maintain the innate true fire, unbroken and continuous, necessitating the consumption of elixirs to sustain.

  In just one day and night, Xuan Tian had already consumed no less than twenty 'Low-grade True Qi Pills'.

  If it's a fire-attribute martial artist with only excellent qualifications, they would need to continuously cultivate for ten days and nights in order to have any hope of assimilating the 'Seven Flame Red Lotus'. They cannot sleep or interrupt their innate true fire during this time. Not to mention how exhausting it is to go without sleep for ten days, just the amount of medicinal pellets consumed would be staggering.

  Another half hour passed, and the last bit was finally assimilated. Xuantian's innate true fire had almost merged with the 'Seven Flame Red Lotus'. The innate true fire could now enter any position within the 'Seven Flame Red Lotus', and the 'Seven Flame Red Lotus' had become one with Xuantian's fire attribute.

  Xuantian withdrew the pre-heavenly true fire back into his body, and the "Seven Flames Red Lotus" also followed the pre-heavenly boundary fire, retracting back into his body.

  With a lift of his left palm, a flame of blood like a lotus flower suddenly floated out from the center of his hand, composed of seven flames, which was precisely the 'Seven Flames Red Lotus'.

  Xuántiān is able to control 'Qī Yàn Hóng Lián' at will, shuttling through his body and appearing in any position.

  Finally settled 'Seven Flame Red Lotus', Xuan Tian was overjoyed.

  At this moment, Long Ziyuan broke through the fourth layer of Xiantian Realm and reached the final critical point. The barrier of the third layer of Xiantian Realm was instantly dissolved into nothingness. In an instant, the Xiantian True Qi in Long Ziyuan's body surged violently, undergoing a qualitative change. The meridians in her body were greatly strengthened, and the Xiantian True Qi flowed freely without any obstruction. A feeling of extreme comfort spread throughout her entire body.

  Long Ziyuan's cultivation broke through the Fourth Heaven of the Innate Realm.

  Xuantian immediately put away the 'Seven Flame Red Lotus' and walked towards Long Ziyuan, saying: "Sister Ziyuan, you've just turned fourteen and your cultivation has already broken through to the fourth level of the Pre-Heavenly realm. This is truly a joyous occasion."

  Xuān Tiān recalled that a year ago, when he was fourteen years old, his cultivation had just broken through the fourth layer of Wudao Realm. The speed at which Lóng Zǐ Yán cultivated was so fast that even among top-notch powers, it would be considered exceptional.

  Long Ziyuan smiled slightly and said: "Brother Huang Tian will definitely come later, I just broke through my cultivation and need some time to adapt to the circulation of true energy."

  Xuántiān nodded and said, "Good."

  As he spoke, he took out a book from his bosom, which was precisely "The Secret Art of Sealing Mysteries".

  Xuantian Dao: "The 'Seal of the Profound Mysteries' is a profound-level secret technique. After cultivating it, you can seal off one level of cultivation and also seal off any leakage of your aura. Moreover, you can subtly change the color of your skin to make it coarser, and with some additional disguise, achieve the goal of changing your appearance. It's very easy to cultivate; following the true energy circulation method above, you can master it in less than half an hour."

  Xuān Tiān opened "Fēng Xuán Secret Technique" and slowly flipped through it page by page, letting Lóng Zǐ Yān watch.

  Time passed quietly, more than half an hour had passed, Long Ziyuan had already adapted to the true energy circulation of the Fourth Heaven of Xiantian Realm. As for the cultivation of "Fengxuan Secret Art", it had also been completed by 60% to 70%, and in less than half an hour, she would be able to successfully cultivate it.

  At this moment, a faint sound came from the cave, the only exit of the valley.

  Long Ziyuan did not hear it, but Xuan Tian had an astonishing sense of hearing and actually heard it.

  "Someone is coming, let's refine later." Xuan Tian put away the secret book.

  Long Ziyuan was pulled up, and the two of them instantly flashed into a dense thicket.

  They waited for a long time, but no one came out of the cave. However, that faint sound was still heard by Xuan Tian.

  "It seems like someone is calling your name." Xuan Tian exclaimed: "But the voice is very small, why didn't it come out from the cave?"

  "It's probably Uncle Wan." Long Ziyuan's eyes lit up, saying: "I left a note, only Uncle Wan knows I came here and also knows my name."

  "Go take a look."

  Xuantian and Long Ziyuan quickly rushed into the mountain cave, and as they got closer, they indeed heard someone shouting "Ziyuan".

  "It's Wan Bo." Long Ziyuan heard the voice and immediately recognized the owner of the voice.

  The two of them didn't hesitate and directly rushed into the cave.

  All I saw was a middle-aged man covered in blood, crawling on the ground of the mountain cave towards the valley, muttering "Ziyan" in his mouth.

  This middle-aged man was nearly fifty years old, with two sword scars on his face. Xuan Tian had never seen him before and didn't recognize him.

  But Long Ziyuan saw it and her face changed color, her complexion greatly altered, and she let out a sorrowful cry: "Uncle Wan."

  As they spoke, Long Ziyuan rushed towards the middle-aged man who was covered in blood.

  Xuantian suddenly increased his vigilance and followed up, with both eyes fixed on the other side of the cave.

  Long Ziyuan rushed to the middle-aged man covered in blood, quickly pulled out a medicine bottle from her bosom, poured out several crystal-clear pellets of Dan medicine, each one was a top-grade healing sacred medicine of the Xuan stage, and fed them to the middle-aged man.

  After taking the elixir, the middle-aged man's complexion did not improve, but his consciousness recovered a bit. Seeing Long Ziyuan, he suddenly exclaimed: "Ziyuan, quickly... quickly escape!"

  Long Ziyuan's tears gushed out and she said: "Uncle Wan, hold on, I'll save you, I'll save you."

  The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It's no use, my internal organs are shattered, and all the meridians in my body are broken. Even if I were at my peak, no one in the world could save me from such a severe injury. Recently, people from the Blood Cult have come to the Yin Wind Mountains and discovered our whereabouts. You should escape quickly, the farther the better, change your name and surname, and live a peaceful life..."

  As he spoke, the middle-aged man's gaze suddenly drifted to Xuan Tian beside him, his expression stunned, and exclaimed: "Who is he?"

  In a state of panic, he pulled it into his body and suddenly spat out a big mouthful of blood.

  Xuān Tiān gazed at the middle-aged man and said, "I am a friend of Zǐ Yán's. You can rest assured that I will protect her."

  "Uncle Wan, he is Huang Tian's brother. He helped me kill some black-clothed men. One of the black-clothed men used the Blood Poison of the Lianxue Evil Sect. I should have thought of it at that time - people from the Lianxue Evil Sect have arrived! Uncle Wan, don't die, I will save you. Ziyan is already a top-grade alchemist of the Mystic Rank, and I will definitely save you."

  The middle-aged man's face turned increasingly pale, his vitality almost visibly disappearing before one's eyes. He looked at Xuan Tian and said: "Ziyan is a child with a bitter fate, take good care of her, you take her and leave quickly, the people from the Blood Refining Evil Sect are about to arrive, you two leave quickly..."

  The middle-aged man's voice fell, and Xu Tian's hearing was astonishing. He heard footsteps coming from the other side of the mountain valley.

  "Not good, they've already arrived..." Xuan Tian's eyes widened in surprise.

  Long Ziyuan once said that "Wan Bo's" strength is stronger than hers, at least with the strength of the Seventh Heaven of Innate Realm.

  Now 'Wan Bo' has been beaten to the point of his five internal organs being shattered and his entire body's meridians severed, the strength of the incoming person can be imagined. Moreover, Xuan Tian heard footsteps, and there is not just one person coming.
