The Battle Through Heaven
Start Swallowing Heavenly Fire!
After he gradually recovered his body back to its peak state, Xiao Yan finally began to calm down. He raised his head and stared at the crescent moon in the sky for a long time. Then he laughed softly, carrying the Green Lotus Seat in his hand and stood up.
"Let's find a safer place first." Yao Lao said softly.
"Haha, okay." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded his head. He was observing the surrounding terrain. This is the only mountain on the edge of the desert. By being able to block the desert all the way to the foot of the mountain, the size of the mountain would not be too small.
On the mountain, there was occasionally the sound of howling wolves and the roar of tigers. It seemed like they were announcing to everyone that the territory here already had an owner.
Carrying the Green Lotus Seat tightly in his hand, the tip of Xiao Yan's foot stomped on the ground heavily. A burst of energy rang out and his body suddenly rose and quickly landed on top of the large tree beside him. His body swayed with tree branches as his gaze swept through the fresh green mountain forest around him. After which, he gently pressed onto the tree branch and his body swiftly crossed the dense forest like an eagle in the night sky as he swiftly headed towards the top of the mountain.
Xiao Yan turned into a black shadow that moved around the mountain peak, inspecting it several times. Finally, he chose a place he liked; a naturally formed mountain cave. The position of the cave is near the middle of the cliff while the cliff wall is very steep so it is almost vertical and there is no place to set foot. So, it was obviously impossible to climb to the mountain cave. However, this mountain cave that seemed difficult to climb by others was undoubtedly much easier and almost effortless for Xiao Yan who had Purple Cloud Wings.
Standing on top of the cliff, Xiao Yan stared at the extremely deep and almost bottomless valley below the mountain. It was covered in a thin fog. This place, which was neither open to the sky nor below was the most ideal training location in his heart.
Nodding in satisfaction, Xiao Yan did not show any doubt as he jumped off the cliff. A strong wind sounded past his ears. His back trembled slightly and Purple Cloud Wings stretched out. The flapping wings caused Xiao Yan's body that descended to rapidly slow down. A moment later, his body had already been smoothly hung outside the mountain cave. His gaze carefully swept across the cave. Only after he had found no trace of the Magical Beast living inside the cave, did he bring the Green Lotus Seat and fly into the cave.
Although the cave was not too big, it was large enough for Xiao Yan to use. After placing the Green Lotus Seat on top of the boulder, Xiao Yan took out a few Moonlight Stones from his storage ring that was hung on the stone wall. Immediately, a somewhat dim light began to shine.
With the help of the light, Xiao Yan began to sweep his gaze into the cave with a vigilant attitude. Every small corner was swept away by Xiao Yan's gaze several times …
One could not blame Xiao Yan for being so vigilant and careful. His intention to swallow ‘Heavenly Fire’ was so difficult even swallowing ‘The Purple’ Fire cannot compare to him. During such a time, any disturbance from the environment would cause his attempt to fail. Moreover, he was also likely to receive a counterattack from ‘Heavenly Fire’ and turn into a pile of ashes in an instant.
Xiao Yan took nearly an hour before he actually scanned the mountain cave that was not too vast. During the scan, he found some small Magical Beast droppings hidden by some large stones. This should have been left behind by some flying-type Magical Beasts from the occasional time they came here to rest.
After clearing the dirt from the cave, Xiao Yan moved the large rock from the inside of the cave and blocked the entrance completely. He only left a few small gaps to allow air to enter.
As soon as he finished this troublesome task, Xiao Yan let out a long sigh. He then came to the center of the cave where he sat cross-legged in front of a huge rock. Hot flames danced within his black eyes as he stared at the green-colored lotus chair in front of him.
"Teacher. what should I do next? " There was some sweat on his palm as Xiao Yan gulped his saliva and asked gently in his heart.
"First of all take out all the things you will need." Yao Lao floated out of the ring. An unprecedented seriousness was on his old face.
Xiao Yan nodded. His finger tapped on the storage ring and took out a small transparent jade bottle. Inside, there was a blood-colored medicinal pill the size of a dragon's eyes that lay soundlessly. Through the reflection of the surface of the bottle, the blood-colored medicinal pill appeared somewhat shady. When the bottle trembled slightly, there seemed to be an invisible liquid vibrating within it.
This round blood colored medicinal pill was one of the important things prepared to swallow ‘Heavenly Fire’: ‘Blood Lotus Pill’! After taking out the ‘Pil Blood Lotus’, Xiao Yan took out another small jade box from within the storage ring that he gently placed on the surface of the clean stone. Instantly, a faint cold air began to condense and form a thin layer of ice. When the jade box was opened, a snow-white jade bottle was found carefully placed inside. A faint white-colored cold mist enveloped the jade bottle, making it appear misty and mysterious.
The thing stored in this snow white jade bottle was the ‘Cold Fountain Spirit Icy’ that Xiao Yan had used all his efforts to get it from Gu Te's hands.
Yao Lao nodded his head as his gaze passed through these two things known as unique treasures. He flicked his finger and a faint gray-colored light suddenly rose slowly from his fingertips. The gray-colored light rotated once in the air before slowly landing on the surface of the rock. The light then disappeared, revealing something hidden within.
It was a gray-colored stone that was the size of a thumb. The stone was as smooth as jade and had no flaws in the slightest. In the center of the stone, there was a pale blue light that slowly swayed, like a small worm that had life force.
"Is this what is called the Soul of Acceptance?" Xiao Yan could not help but ask in a somewhat stunned manner as he stared at this simple-looking little rock.
"Ah, this is indeed the Soul of Reception, an extremely rare natural and strange material. Only in a high-grade storage ring would one have a small chance to dig it up. It may seem just a little but its value far exceeds ‘Blood Lotus Pill’ and ‘Cold Fountain Spirit Es’. If I was unlucky to get it back then, I'm worried even if you've already gotten ‘Heavenly Fire’, you can only look at him in a daze "Yao Lao softly said with a smile.
Nodding, Xiao Yan glanced at the storage ring in his hand. This was a low-level storage ring but it was worth tens of thousands of gold coins. If it was a middle-class storage ring, its value would at least grow by more than ten times that amount. As for the high-grade storage ring ... this grade storage ring is basically included in the category of having no market price. Some large clans even used high-grade storage rings as mementos or symbols of their wealth. In the Dou Qi continent, only strong people or strong group leaders had the qualifications to obtain high-grade storage rings. From this explanation, the extent to which the scarcity of such a thing can be understood …
Xiao Yan carefully and carefully inspected the three items before he turned his gaze to the Green Lotus. His gaze stared intently at the green-colored flame in the center of the lotus and gently licked his mouth. Desire and desire covered his entire face.
"Take it off." Yao Lao said grimly.
"Yes." Yeah." Xiao Yan nodded his head and held the bottom of the Green Lotus Seat with his palm. His Spiritual Perception quickly infiltrated into it, separating the lotus seat and the ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’. After which, he carefully pulled out the Green Lotus Seat.
After losing the bonds of the Green Lotus Seat, the originally small green-colored flame suddenly grew several times. In just the blink of an eye, the green-colored flame seedlings turned into a cluster of flames suspended in the air.
As the size of the flame increased, the temperature in the mountain cave also increased very quickly. At the top of the mountain cave, the stone walls had melted away quietly, forming a hole as big as one's head.
After extending his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, Xiao Yan took two small steps back and raised his head. His face was filled with seriousness as he stared at the rising green-colored flame. Even though his heart was already doing its best to calm down, his palm still trembled involuntarily,
"What should I do next?" Xiao Yan forcefully pretended to be calm as his trembling voice asked.
"The power created from swallowing ‘Heavenly Fire’ will become extremely powerful. So, I will use my Spiritual Strength to surround the entire cave. Otherwise, more than half of this mountain will probably be burned by ‘Heavenly Fire’ before you can actually swallow it. " Yao Lao said deeply as he patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, comforting him.
"Yes." Yeah." Xiao Yan hurriedly nodded his head.
"Although saying this might sound unfavorable but as a guarantee, you better sit on a green lotus. If anything happens, the green lotus can protect your life. Otherwise, even if it was me, it would be hard to save you in the instant it takes to save your life. In any case, you should swallow ‘ Heavenly Fire’ into your body. That's a very dangerous act. " Yao Lao hesitated for a moment before saying helplessly.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and nodded his head. The tip of his foot touched the ground and his body gently floated into the Green Lotus Seat. After which, he tilted his head to face Yao Lao.
"Consume ‘Pil Lotus Blood’ first. Without the protection of the formed blood membrane, it is impossible to make close contact with ‘Heavenly Fire with your strength. " Yao Lao said seriously.
Xiao Yan nodded. He slightly bent his palm and sucked the little jade bottle into his hand. After tilting the jade bottle, the dragon-sized medicinal pill faintly emitted a healthy gleam, rolled into his hands.
Holding the ‘Blood Lotus Pill in his hand, Xiao Yan placed it under his nose and sniffed. A strange fragrance enveloped the tip of his nose while a kind of ice-cold feeling almost made his soul tremble several times.
Xiao Yan focused his gaze on this five level medicinal pill. He curled his fist suddenly, closed his eyes and put it in his mouth.
The moment ‘Pil Blood Lotus’ entered Xiao Yan's mouth, it turned into a somewhat dark and cold energy that quickly entered all of the Qi Paths in Xiao Yan's body. Finally, the layer of film was like blood, slowly breaking through his Qi Paths and even his bones.
After the penetration of the blood film, Xiao Yan's body suddenly shook violently. Fresh threads of blood started to soar out from his pores. In just the blink of an eye, a layer of bright red fresh blood covered his body, giving him a frightening appearance.
Not long after this fresh blood appeared, it quickly clumped up and finally formed a blood-colored cuticle. This cuticle covered Xiao Yan's hands and feet. Even his eyes were completely closed within it.
The blood-colored cuticle seemed to have formed an extremely dense blood-colored armor that was resistant to the wind, tightly protecting Xiao Yan within it.
Xiao Yan slowly stretched out his hand which was covered by a blood-colored cuticle and led to ‘Heavenly Fire’ in the air. Suction power suddenly surged.
Following the appearance of the suction force, the green-colored flame in the air suddenly expanded. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying destructive force slowly spread from within the green-colored flame as if it had awakened.
Xiao Yan focused his gaze intently on the group of green-colored flames that were growing larger. He knew that swallowing ‘He Heavenly Fire’ had begun!
