Suddenly.
Xuanqing had a thought in his heart, recalling the origin of Flame Mountain.
It was said that when Monkey King wreaked havoc in Heavenly Palace, he overturned the Eight Trigrams Furnace, causing a brick to fall into the human world, eventually forming the perpetually blazing Flame Mountain.
Could it be that this square brick… was indeed a brick from Ancestor Master’s Eight Trigrams Furnace?
With this thought in mind.
Xuanqing stepped into the magma pool.
*plop* –
As the magma splashed, he dived into the pool, slowly sinking towards the glowing brick.
This unbelievably terrifying, heat-producing, extremely Yang lava was unable to harm Xuanqing, not even damaging his clothes.
It wasn’t that his clothes were superb, but Xuanqing used the vast Mana from the Qi Flower to envelop them.
With his Chaos Morality Holy Body, he naturally didn’t have to worry, but ordinary magic clothes would never be able to withstand the heat.
When he reached the bottom.
He finally saw clearly what the square object was.
As he suspected, it was a brick-like thing, exuding a familiar aura.
“So it really is the furnace brick from Ancestor Master’s Eight Trigrams Furnace!”
Xuanqing held his chin and looked somewhat surprised.
Afterward.
He reached out his right hand and intended to grab the brick and place it in his backpack. Ancestor Master’s things, even a brick, were hard-to-come-by treasures.
However.
Sizzle-
As soon as he touched it, a burnt smell wafted out, turning into countless bubbles, rising from the magma pool.
“Hiss…”
“This furnace brick is so overbearing?”
Xuanqing gasped in surprise. His right hand had turned reddish-purple like a boiled shrimp.
Just by touching the furnace brick for an instant, the mana on his hand was shattered, even injuring the Chaos Morality Holy Body.
It was unimaginable!
“If Monkey King knew that Ancestor Master’s Eight Trigrams Furnace was so domineering, I wonder what he would think!”
Xuanqing’s expression was a bit strange.
He recalled how Monkey King had developed his Eyes of the Fire Golden Gaze in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, while he himself had achieved the Body of Merits.
Obviously, if the real refining effect of the Eight Trigrams Furnace were used to deal with Monkey King, he would have been burnt to ashes in an instant.
“Nevermind, I’ll leave the furnace brick here for now. After completing the Five Elements Fire Energy Entering the Body, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
Xuanqing shook his head and temporarily gave up on taking the furnace brick.
Worth mentioning is that.
In the practice of condensing the Five Qi Chaoyuan, once a certain elemental attribute is completed, it would generate great resistance to that attribute.
For example, after completing the Five Elements Water Qi Converging on the Origin in Liusha River, Weak Water no longer affected him.
Similarly, as long as he completed the Five Elements Fire Energy Entering the Body, he would be able to pick up the furnace brick without being entirely immune to its heat.
“Next, let’s start practicing!”
Xuanqing left the magma pool.
He found a random spot to sit cross-legged inside the cave, laid down a true hair seal that blocked the atmosphere, and began practicing.
The Fire of the Five Elements is the origin of all beings’ Qi!
The reason is that the fire attribute belongs to Yang and corresponds to the heart in the Five Viscera, being the most important existence.
It is also the origin of human civilization!
Upon starting his practice, Xuanqing mobilized the massive amount of Ether Wood Essence within his body.
Wood… produces fire!
His body seemed to transform into a powerful water pump, generating formidable suction.
Whoosh-
Whoosh-
Loose fire Qi in the whole cave was attracted by the suction force, flowing into Xuanqing’s body.
Ultimately, it was refined by the heart, used to modify the heart’s environment, and laid a foundation for the later condensation of Fire Qi Chao Yuan.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had elapsed.
After this period of practice, half of his heart had already metamorphosed into a red color. When the entire heart turned red, the stage of Fire Qi entering the body would be complete.
Worth mentioning is that.
The fire Qi in the entire cave had diluted by at least half compared to when they began.
This caused the temperature of the Flame Mountain to drop sharply. In some peripheral areas, ordinary mortals could already survive.
While Xuanqing was engaged in closed-door cultivation in Flame Mountain.
On the other side.
Dozens of miles away from Flame Mountain.
There was a fairy mountain several thousand meters high called Cuiyun Mountain, where a fairy lived, known as Princess Iron Fan, or Rakshasa Princess.
The Rakshasa Princess was quite extraordinary, a leftover royal bloodline from the ancient Rakshasa clan, hence the title of princess.
In Cuiyun Mountain, there was a cave called Plantain Cave.
Princess Iron Fan resided in Plantain Cave.
This day.
“Report!”
A lecherous-looking little demon, with a snake-head and mouse-eyes, rolled and crawled into the cave, knelt on the ground, and clasped his fists.
“Your Highness, this humble one has found out the reason for the lack of faith in the people at the foot of the mountain!”
“Oh?”
Princess Iron Fan’s brows furrowed, and her phoenix eyes circled around before asking, “Tell me, what is the reason?”
“Reporting to Your Highness, it’s Flame Mountain. For some unknown reason, since the beginning of this year, the temperature on Flame Mountain has been dropping daily. The people are living in comfort and naturally do not visit Rakshasa Temple!”
The small demon quickly explained.
Upon hearing this..
