Chapter 1839: Chapter 1839: Condensing Fire Seeds
"But I want to go."
Ran Yue bit her lip, looking up at Li Feng: "Although I can’t help much, I don’t want to give up. Besides, I can change my cultivation technique; the one I practiced before wasn’t anything exceptional. As for the Beast Taming Scripture, it’s a special ability that doesn’t affect which cultivation technique I can practice."
"I’ve already asked about the Burning Technique, and it’s not difficult to practice. Besides, this is the Molten Lava Land, where Fire Element Energy is abundant."
"Are you serious?"
Li Feng furrowed his brows slightly, looking at the determined Ran Yue. Ran Yue nodded: "I need to grow stronger; I still have a family vendetta unresolved."
If I proceed step by step, maybe I can become a Golden Core within three to five years, but just having a Golden Core is far from enough. The Ran Family was wiped out by a second-rank family; a mere Golden Core at the Initial Stage simply won’t suffice for revenge."
"I want to quickly become strong. If I can obtain the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, that would be best. If not, there are plenty of Overlord cubs here; I want to give it a try."
Ran Yue was willing to follow Li Feng south and take great risks, and she had obviously thought it through long ago. Having come all this way, she naturally wouldn’t want to give up.
Li Feng looked at the resolute Ran Yue, knowing it was futile to persuade her further. She was originally a determined woman and wouldn’t easily abandon something she was set on.
"Alright, I’ll do my best to ensure your safety. As for the cultivation of the Burning Technique, I’ll assist you."
Ran Yue looked up at Li Feng: "How will you help me?"
"For the Burning Technique, first, one must gather Fire Qi, circulating it through the body’s meridians to gradually form a Fire Seed, and then constantly nurturing this Fire Seed. When the Fire Seed becomes strong enough, in the operation of the Burning Technique, it will emit a powerful Flame Power into the bloodline, causing the bloodline to boil, thereby obtaining extraordinary strength; this is the first layer of the Burning Technique."
"And the key to this layer is condensing the Fire Seed. I’ll first help you condense the Fire Seed and operate from there. Another crucial point is that while operating the Burning Technique, the body will temporarily gain powerful strength, but it will also burn itself. Thus, the most critical aspect of cultivating the Burning Technique is to always remain calm and never be overwhelmed by it."
"Once this happens, the Burning Technique will lose control and not only burn your bloodline but also your internal organs, consuming everything."
"Are you ready?"
Li Feng looked at Ran Yue, who nodded, and Li Feng didn’t hesitate further. They would only rest here for one night, and this time was enough to help Ran Yue lay the groundwork as the cultivation of the Burning Technique wasn’t difficult, with hardly any hurdles.
However, every layer of advancement greatly increases the danger, as with the increase in strength within the Fire Seed, when the Burning Technique erupts, although it can provide powerful propulsion strength, it will also burn the will itself.
Once it leads to frenzy, when the mind is not clear, the internal strength will go haywire, ultimately resulting in self-destruction.
It can be said that every layer of cultivating the Burning Technique is a matter of life and death.
Ran Yue nodded.
Li Feng raised his hand, gathering a Vermilion Bird Fire and then struck it onto Ran Yue’s back. The moment Ran Yue received it, she felt a scorching heat penetrate from her back, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
At the same time, a heart-wrenching pain rose.
Her heart seemed to be burning on an iron plate.
The Vermilion Bird Fire walked through the meridians around the heart, circulating, and this process felt like fire ants crawling within her, similarly, it was a severe stabbing pain, but Ran Yue clenched her teeth and endured it.
Strands of Vermilion Bird Fire arrived at Ran Yue’s Dantian, weaving within it. As the Fire gathered, a flame ignited within her Dantian, with the aura of the Fire constantly dispersing.
Hmm.
Ran Yue murmured softly, as the Fire Aura traveled around her body, her skin was as red as boiled, and a suppressed force was constantly rising.
"Condense your Divine Sense, compress the Fire into a Fire Seed."
Ran Yue nodded, but Li Feng directly withdrew his connection with this strand of Fire; the rest was up to Ran Yue herself.
She wanted to go to Molten Lava Land, this barrier must be overcome.
Sikong Yu saw Li Feng walk over and said: "You’re not necessarily helping her, perhaps you’re harming her."
"You should have seen the harshness of this place, but going deeper, it’s feared to be even harsher; even Golden Core is like ants here."
"Even if the journey is smooth and we don’t encounter the Overlord from this place and reach the Molten Lava Cave smoothly, the underground is even a hundred times more complex."
"Our Sikong family sends people here every few years, but every time they return with nothing, sometimes none return. Our family’s fortunes and foundations have been poured here, but the gains are scarce."
Sikong Yu said, suddenly focusing on Li Feng: "Did you really feel the Vermilion Bird’s summons?"
Li Feng glanced at Sikong Yu, who questioned him like this, nodded silently.
"I heard the Vermilion Bird’s voice, but I’m unsure if I can find the Vermilion Bird smoothly. I thought coming here would be welcomed, but instead, it’s like a head-on strike. Wanting to meet this Vermilion Bird might require overcoming numerous challenges."
"In the past, the Four Holy Beasts and Ancestor Dragon City had interactions, even nowadays, Ancestor Dragon City has diplomatic exchanges with the other three Holy Beasts, mutually communicating, but only the Vermilion Bird has severed contact."
"According to family records, after the last great war, the Vermilion Bird was severely injured, possibly fell into slumber, and sealed its Domain."
"Our Sikong family has not heard the Vermilion Bird’s voice for over two hundred years. If you’ve truly heard it, then as long as we step into the Molten Lava Cave, we can obtain some guidance from the Vermilion Bird. Without this guidance, the cave is a Great Maze, entering it brings a slim chance of survival."
"Actually, it’s not just us; the Ten Demon Hall also sent people multiple times to seek the Vermilion Bird, to confirm if it’s severely injured, asleep, or reborn."
"But they all became lost in the cave’s Great Maze, eventually meeting a tragic end. As for where the Vermilion Bird is hiding, no one knows."
"So, without the Vermilion Bird’s guidance, we absolutely cannot find it."
"Rest assured in this; I wouldn’t use this as an excuse to deceive anyone. But I can’t guarantee the Vermilion Bird will offer guidance, though I promise to do my best to bring you out."
Li Feng pledged.
"First, rest; the road ahead won’t be easy."
Sikong Yu nodded, watching Li Feng turn and leave; Ouyang Qiuhai said beside him: "Sister Yu, can this journey truly find the Vermilion Bird? If not, it will be all for naught."
"Who can be certain? But even for the slightest chance, I must strive for it."
"The Sikong family can no longer wait."
Ouyang Qiuhai understood instantly hearing Sikong Yu’s words. Despite the Sikong family still being an esteemed first-rank family, it has been continuously declining for the past two hundred years, managing to persist only because a dead camel is still larger than a horse.
However, until Sikong Yu’s generation, less than a handful have awakened the Vermilion Bird bloodline, even if Sikong Yu’s performance seems outstanding, making Sikong family appear not so dilapidated.
The actual situation has long been noticed by the observant families.
Sometimes, what’s needed is just an opportunity.
And Bai Yi of the Bai family emerging and entering the Nine Layers Mountain, acquiring the talent of a Commander, is already a warning.
The time left for the Sikong family is indeed limited.
