Chapter 1817: Chapter 955: Immortal Fire
Li Shiming and Li Yuanba are both engaged in the same task, which is refining the Infinite Immortal Fire.
However, Li Yuanba has not performed the refinement himself; instead, he has given the compensation ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ obtained from the Infinite Sect to the Red Demon.
Red Demon is proficient in fire, as evidenced by the formidable power when using ’Infinite Fire Peak’, showcasing its talent in controlling flames.
Li Yuanba refining ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ on his own does not significantly enhance his strength.
He is not adept at flame attacks, and mostly uses ’Chaos Sword Intent’.
Although he uses the ’Eye of the Storm’, he has incorporated ’Chaos Sword Intent’ into this treasure, making the wind blades emitted by ’Eye of the Storm’ more akin to sword light.
The flame refining Secret Technique he received was originally brought out by the Infinite Sect to allow the Peak Great Cultivator Li Yuanba to refine ’Infinite Immortal Fire’.
The Infinite Sect was willing to offer ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ after careful consideration.
The Infinite Sect also knew that even if Li Yuanba refined ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ for his own use, it would not greatly boost his combat power.
And the Infinite Immortal Fire is of the fifth-grade, precisely compensating for the matter of sending a Half-step Great Power to assassinate Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba, through the contractual link with the Red Demon, transmitted the flame refining Secret Technique to the Red Demon.
The Red Demon’s Wisdom is not low; if it weren’t for the constraints of the master recognition contract, the Red Demon could entirely be a high Wisdom creature on its own.
Having read the flame refining Secret Technique, the Red Demon swallowed the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ whole.
This ability is not achievable by a Great Cultivator, only a Half-step Great Power, who has stepped into the threshold of Great Power and is skilled in flames, would dare attempt such a feat.
Ordinary creatures that directly swallow the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ face annihilation of both body and soul.
After swallowing ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, the Red Demon began refining ’Infinite Immortal Fire’.
Li Yuanba sensed the intense heat emanating from the Red Demon, his face changed, quickly retreating while activating the room’s Formation.
He wasn’t reassured even after leaving the room, so he took out the Fourth Grade Array Flag to further fortify the room.
This is his Grotto Heaven after all; should the flames inadvertently leaked by the Red Demon affect it, the power exceeding fourth-grade flames could reduce his Grotto Heaven to nothing.
It might even alert Sword Elder, though it would cause no damage to Sword Cave Heaven.
Once Sword Elder is alerted, he can extinguish the flames with a mere flick of his finger.
Within the Red Demon’s body, the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ through continuous refinement slowly merged with the Red Demon, with a seedling of ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ appearing at the core of the soul fire within Red Demon’s skull.
On the other hand, Li Shiming’s process of refining ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ wasn’t as effortless as the Red Demon’s.
Even though he possessed the flame refining Secret Technique and had an innate talent for flame control, having learned a Flame Divine Power of ’Nanming Leaving Fire’.
Yet while refining ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, he still felt very exertive.
Li Shiming had no complaints, instead showing a look of delight.
Previously, he thought refining ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ would require a long period.
Now with the flame refining Secret Technique and aided by the ’Absolute Flame Spirit Gourd’, he estimated it would take at most ten days to claim ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ for himself.
During his refinement of ’Infinite Immortal Fire’, Yin Shilan was unaware that her Daoist couple was refining fifth-grade Immortal Fire beside her.
Li Shiming divided his mind, the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ was also inside the ’Absolute Flame Spirit Gourd’.
He and Yin Shilan were flying above the ocean on a Flying Boat.
He headed towards an unknown sea, a place with some legends according to books he read.
Legend has it that in that sea are magnificent palaces, ethereal golden peaks, and numerous incredible stories beyond belief.
Li Shiming knew whether he was on the Central State Continent or other continents, he might be targeted and captured by the Great Powers of the Yuqing Sect.
And on the Cloud Island Sea side, he didn’t want to go there quickly, as it wasn’t safe either; the Great Powers there were also looking for him.
Every time he thought of this, he couldn’t help but helplessly shake his head, wondering when his enemies had risen to the level of Great Powers.
On the Flying Boat, accompanied by Yin Shilan, they were not lonely, much like being in the Grotto Heaven of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect with no significant difference.
Yin Shilan could enter the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven if she wished.
Her Grotto Heaven is inside the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, allowing access anytime.
Yin Shilan was delighted with this expedition, having recently progressed to Great Cultivator, she needed to travel widely.
For other cultivators, the ocean appeared dangerous, but Li Shiming, exhibiting the aura of a Peak Great Cultivator of the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’, deterred any spirit beast from approaching.
Spirit beasts lacking Wisdom knew instinctively that Li Shiming was dangerous, while those with Wisdom were clearer on Li Shiming’s terror.
The ten-day period quickly passed, Li Shiming felt the final trace within ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ refined, becoming flame under control.
"Lan’er, I’m heading outside the Flying Boat!" Li Shiming told Yin Shilan.
Though Yin Shilan was unaware of Li Shiming’s intention, she did not inquire, enabling the Flying Boat’s Formation for him.
Li Shiming went outside the Flying Boat to transfer the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ from the ’Absolute Flame Spirit Gourd’ into his body.
He dared not retrieve ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ before Yin Shilan; the ’Infinite Immortal Fire’ was fifth-grade.
