Chapter 1129: Chapter 1129: Fire Essence Marrow
"Mistress."
At this time, the middle-aged man beside her suddenly asked, "Did the Clan Leader go to discuss that great event?"
"That’s right." The woman nodded.
"There’s only a few years left until that great event."
"This time, the event is jointly held by our Fire Clan and the Holy Moon Sect, with each side having three slots, so it’s natural to discuss it."
"Mother, mother." Little Five eagerly asked.
"What great event? Little Five wants to participate too."
"Ha, you’re still young, how can you participate?" the woman laughed.
"Alright, don’t be so curious all the time. Sleep, and by the time you wake up, we’ll be there."
"Oh." Little Five obediently snuggled into the woman’s arms and sweetly fell asleep.
Once Little Five fell asleep, her gentle breathings spread around.
The smile on the woman’s face suddenly froze, replaced by the same worried expression she had before.
"Is Mistress worried about Miss’ Primordial Fire?" the middle-aged man asked.
The woman solemnly nodded.
"Mistress, I have something to ask, but I’m not sure if I should." The middle-aged man suddenly said.
"Ask." The woman replied directly.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "Is it true that our Fire Clan’s Primordial Fire is so alluring?"
"Why do people, upon encountering it, become entranced and even show greed?"
"How so?" The woman softly asked, "Have you ever seen Jiu Huo?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded, "A long time ago, I remember my father taking me away from the Fire Clan to travel outside."
"I was just a child then, and the first human I encountered was a Demon Hunter uncle."
"Upon seeing me, he picked me up and kissed me repeatedly."
"If not for my father, he might have eaten me."
The woman chuckled, "Jiu Huo, you also have such stories."
While laughing, the woman showed a serious expression and said, "Our Fire Clan ancestors were born from the Heaven and Earth Essence Fire countless years ago."
"Although countless years have passed, our Fire Clan has bred generation after generation and is no different from humans."
"Apart from still loving to eat fire, everything else is the same as humans."
"But, within our bloodline, there still exists a strand of Primordial Fire passed down from our ancestors."
"It’s this strand of Primordial Fire that causes those of our Fire Clan, before reaching adulthood and forming their cultivation, to possess an incomparable allure to others."
"Why?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion.
"What is ’origin’?" The woman spoke in a deep voice.
"One thought of life, one thought of evil, the beginning of nature."
"Outsiders thus feel a natural thought; it is all the emotions and thoughts one has."
The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up, "Mistress means that outsiders will reveal their true form, showing all their hideous expressions."
"You can say so." The woman nodded, "But not exactly."
"Everything in the world has two sides, like a mirror with two faces, flowers and the moon in the water."
"Like the extremely fierce flame, it can kill; but in an Alchemist’s hands, it is the only refining method, used to save people."
"In the world, there is extreme evil, extreme good, and it’s all within a thought; but evil and good never have an end."
"The beginning of nature lies between these two."
"One thought of evil, or the birth of good; one thought of good, or the birth of evil, without a fixed nature."
"It’s also because of this that the explosion of countless thoughts causes the mind to be lost and inextricable."
The middle-aged man gave a bitter smile, "Mistress, you’re speaking too complexly; I don’t quite understand."
The woman shook her head, "Your cultivation is still shallow, it’s natural you don’t understand; when you become a Martial Arts Great Power, you will."
"Of course, since you have already formed your cultivation, the Primordial Fire inside of you no longer has such an aura, so you need not understand it."
"And that boy." The woman spoke in a deep voice, "He could indeed withstand our Fire Clan’s aura temptation, truly remarkable."
"How does Mistress know he withstood it?" the middle-aged man asked.
"It’s simple." The woman spoke seriously, "If he did not withstand it, no matter what thoughts he initially had, once those thoughts settled..."
"The thoughts would extend to the extremity, explode to the extremity, birthing slaughter in the heart, uncontrollably so."
"If he did not withstand it, Little Five would already be dead."
"However." The woman’s face suddenly turned icy, a killing intent flashed in her eyes.
"Even so, Little Five losing the Primordial Fire, I still cannot endure it, I still detest him endlessly."
After saying this, the woman took out an item, "Retrace your steps and give this to him."
"This..." The middle-aged man took the item, and his face abruptly changed, "Mistress... this... this..."
"Hmph." The woman snorted coldly, "He got Little Five’s Primordial Fire; if he is a mediocre talent, by what right does he get it? It’s better to destroy him."
"If he truly has capability, then this will be my gift to him, an opportunity."
"Yes." The middle-aged man accepted the order and left.
In place, the woman held Little Five and swiftly flew away, her face extremely complex.
"Little Five, mother has always pampered you, obeyed in everything, but this time, even mother doesn’t know if it’s right or wrong."
...
In the perilous fire land, after seeing Little Five leave, Xiao Yi sat cross-legged in place.
He was also about to leave, but before doing so, he needed to heal his injuries.
That middle-aged man’s palm strike earlier injured him significantly.
Though not fatal, it was painful enough.
Over a dozen minutes later.
"Hmm? Who?" Xiao Yi suddenly opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged.
"Kid, you are quite vigilant." The middle-aged man coldly laughed.
"What now?" Xiao Yi asked coldly.
"Hmph." The middle-aged man snorted, taking out a Crystal Bottle, "Catch this."
Xiao Yi caught it and asked in doubt, "What is this?"
"Fire Essence Marrow." The middle-aged man spoke coldly, "This is from our family..."
The middle-aged man paused, "This is a gift from our Miss to you."
"Fire Essence Marrow is a Supreme Treasure of our Fire Clan."
"If you face danger in the future, consume it, and it may save your life."
"Huo’er’s gift?" Xiao Yi looked at the Crystal Bottle in his hand; inside, a droplet of golden liquid was extremely dazzling.
He looked up again, but the middle-aged man had already vanished.
"Ha." Xiao Yi chuckled, the coldness under his mask had disappeared.
"As for that so-called Primordial Fire, I’m not too concerned."
"But this Fire Essence Marrow, since it is your gift, I shall accept it."
With that, Xiao Yi stored it in the Universe Ring.
Afterward, he once again sat cross-legged, stabilizing his injuries.
An hour later, Xiao Yi exhaled a turbid breath; the injuries within his body were now fine.
Just as he stood up, he suddenly frowned.
"What’s going on?" After stabilizing his injury, Xiao Yi abruptly felt a massive power within his body.
Poom...
Xiao Yi gathered a flame, and it soared to cover the sky, sweeping thousands of meters around.
"Hiss." Xiao Yi drew a deep breath, "What terrifying Fire Control capability."
...
