The Cruel Lihuo Path Selection, Yuan Yu’s Strength!
Regarding Yuan Yu.
Zhou Hongxian displayed a look of considerable apprehension.
“Rumor has it that Yuan Yu was born from her mother’s womb without the union of Yin and Yang.
“She is a child with a mother but no father.
“Furthermore, she was born with innate Dao comprehension, possessing heaven-defying insight and unfathomable mastery of the Fire Dao!”
She consecutively used Sound Transmission, seemingly intending to remind Xie Fei, her tone quite serious: “With your potential, you will inevitably clash with her sooner or later.
“You must be careful with Yuan Yu!
“This woman possesses a cold temperament, and her methods are unpredictable.
“Moreover, she is someone extremely devoted to the Dao; everything but her own path can be abandoned.
“No one or anything can shake her pursuit of the Dao.
“Regardless of her birth mother, friends and family, Sect…”
Last time in Yudou City, Li Qiang and the other two also mentioned similar things.
Upon hearing this, Xie Fei’s gaze shifted slightly: “Does she specialize in the Fire Dao?”
“Correct!”
Zhou Hongxian nodded, transmitting her voice: “Yuan Yu’s Fire Dao is profound. The Exquisite Holy Land cultivates her with all their might; many see her as the future’s hope!
“Therefore, she will undoubtedly strive to obtain the Blazing Fire Immortal Inheritance.
“Look, eight out of ten of the Exquisite Holy Land’s True Inheritor Disciples have come, all following Yuan Yu!”
In other words.
Adding Luo Ming, who was slain by Xie Fei.
Nine out of ten of the Exquisite Holy Land’s True Inheritor Disciples are on Yuan Yu’s side.
This shows just how high Yuan Yu’s prestige is within the Holy Land, especially among the disciples.
“If the rumors are true, Yuan Yu was born with innate Dao comprehension, possessing terrifying Fire Dao talent; her combat strength likely far surpasses those of the same rank!
“If the Blazing Fire Immortal Inheritance falls into her hands, she will become even stronger!”
While thinking this, Xie Fei activated his Fate Golden Eyes.
…
As golden light bloomed from his eyes.
Boom!
A phenomenon suddenly appeared!
Xie Fei’s soul trembled; he seemed to see the primordial chaos, when Heaven and Earth were yet undivided.
As his mind immersed itself in this magnificent sight, a fiery red figure soared through the chaos.
Wherever it passed, raging divine flames ignited.
Burning everything, turning it into nothingness!
The flames burned incessantly, containing endless Dao Rhythm.
Although it was merely a phenomenon and illusion, Xie Fei felt a burning, stinging pain in his soul.
Xie Fei was shocked: “What kind of flames are these? Just looking at them causes injury!
“What kind of existence is Yuan Yu’s Fire Dao?!”
The next moment.
The Fate Golden Eyes revealed Yuan Yu’s information.
…
【Name: Yuan Yu】
【Gender: Female】
【Lifespan: 19/？？？】
【Realm: Nascent Soul Ninth Level!】
【Fate Aura: Anomaly Phenomenon!】
【Unconstrained by any natural endowment, she is an anomaly! Such existences often break limits, reverse Heaven’s Mandate, and achieve the future from the past and present! Anomalous individuals are rare throughout eternity!】
【Recent Needs: Obtain the Blazing Fire Immortal Inheritance and integrate it into her own Great Dao!】
…
“It’s actually an anomalous Fate Dao!”
Xie Fei’s pupils constricted, astonished.
He never expected that Yuan Yu, like his apprentice Yuan Li, possessed an anomalous image.
After seeing the investment’s needs.
He fell into contemplation.
Compared to the Blazing Fire Immortal Inheritance, perhaps, it seems, maybe… the anomalous investment is more worthwhile?
Recalling the rebate of the 《Limitless Sword Classic》 and the Enlightenment Tea Tree due to investing in Yuan Li.
Xie Fei couldn’t help but be somewhat moved.
This immediately caused him to become conflicted.
This was the crux of using the Fate Golden Eyes “before the battle”.
If he hadn’t looked, he wouldn’t be so conflicted now, and could directly seize the Blazing Fire Immortal Inheritance without distraction.
This one look.
Before the “battle” even began, he had already lost his composure, becoming anxious and apprehensive.
…
Besides the people from the Exquisite Holy Land, there were several other forces present.
Zhou Hongxian, unaware of Xie Fei’s conflict, continued to secretly introduce them: “See those people over there?
“The ones in plain-colored Daoist robes.
“They are from the Eastern Wasteland Taiyi Holy Land. Because they are located at the junction of the Eastern Wasteland and the Southern Border, their disciples and elders often travel in the Southern Border.
“And those wearing black and white clothing are experts from the Eastern Wasteland Dao Origin Holy Land.
“Both major Holy Lands of the Eastern Wasteland have sent people. Although they are not top-tier combatants, they are not to be underestimated.”
Xie Fei swept his spiritual sense across them. The Taiyi Holy Land’s members had steady auras, their spiritual light like clouds, forming an array.
On the Dao Origin Holy Land side, their black and white robes revolved Yin and Yang, their Qi Dynamic mysterious; all were Transformation Realm experts.
Zhou Hongxian continued: “Many forces from the East Sea have also come.
“The Divine Dragon Sect, the Wind Flower Sect, Azure Sky Island…
“All have experts here!
“Others are mostly rogue cultivators or small sect leaders, coming and going alone, with killing intent hidden; be wary of their schemes!”
As time passed.
The number of experts entering the Small World increased.
Auras intertwined, wind and clouds surged.
Most of those who came were Nascent Soul and above.
Those below Nascent Soul were almost non-existent.
The vast majority were experts from the East Sea or Eastern Wasteland.
Zhou Hongxian seemed to recognize all these forces.
It can be seen that having such an “expert in everything” saves a lot of investigation work.
Unmatched intelligence!
At this moment.
Heaven and Earth suddenly trembled.
The entrance’s light screen suddenly closed, isolating the outside world; the restrictive aura surged.
Then, on the central platform, Blazing Fire Immortal Wei Qin turned her body, facing everyone.
Her crimson robe shimmered with flames, her blurred face radiating endless majesty.
She spoke indifferently, her voice like ice, echoing through the Small World: “Everyone, I am a remnant consciousness of the Blazing Fire Immortal after her death.
“Now, following the Blazing Fire Immortal’s will, I will select a successor who can inherit the Blazing Fire Dao.
“Those with courage, boldness, and ability, and who wish to obtain the inheritance of an Immortal, may ascend the ninety-nine Fire Altars!
“Those who can break the Fire Methods set on the platform will be eligible to inherit everything of the Blazing Fire Immortal.
“Including her remaining cultivation and Dao techniques!
“But if you fail to break them, or dare not ascend, then excuse me.
“You will all become nourishment for my Fire Sprites, sustaining my subsequent consumption!”
Wei Qin was like a cold executor with a pre-set program.
Her indifferent voice echoed throughout Heaven and Earth.
Following her words was an overwhelmingly powerful pressure without reservation.
Boom!
Like a sea of fire pressing down, shaking the soul.
Everyone present, including Xie Fei and Zhou Hongxian, felt a tightening in their chests.
The flow of power became sluggish.
Xie Fei was startled and thought: “The pressure from the Immortal Third Rank consciousness body is already so terrifying!
“If it were at its peak, how heaven-defying would it be?!”
No one expected that the inheritance of the Blazing Fire Immortal would involve ascending the platform and “engaging” with the Blazing Fire.
Moreover, if one failed to break the Blazing Fire on the platform, they would turn to ashes, their cultivation becoming nourishment for Wei Qin.
The experts whispered among themselves.
Someone coldly snorted, seeming unwilling to be so restricted, about to leave.
This person was a rogue cultivator from the East Sea, his cultivation reaching Transformation Level Nine.
His aura was vast; he was one of the top experts present.
He sneered: “The Immortal Inheritance is tempting, but I disdain to risk my life!”
After speaking.
His magical power surged, transforming into a ray of green light, attempting to tear through the entrance’s restriction.
Sizzle!
Before he touched the light screen, a firelight shot out from the platform.
Fast as lightning, instantly arriving!
Before the firelight arrived, the Void was already burning, and Law fluctuations were like blades.
The rogue cultivator’s pupils constricted; his Protective Spiritual Light flashed wildly, but was powerless to resist.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into scattered ashes, falling to the ground.
From beginning to end, he didn’t even have time to scream!
“Since you killed so many of my Fire Sprites, and entered my Small World, how can you just leave?”
On the high platform.
Wei Qin coldly snorted, her voice shaking the surroundings.
The lingering charm of the firelight was chilling.
The experts looked at each other.
Many faces were pale and trembling: “A Transformation Level Nine cultivator was killed in one strike!”
“Immortal! How terrifying!”
However, some ambitious individuals still remained.
Immediately, someone jumped out, eager to try: “Senior, we are no match for you.
“Even if we combine forces, we probably can’t withstand even one of your flames.
“In this situation, wouldn’t it be a dead end for us to challenge those divine flames?
“Then, who can obtain this inheritance?”
Regarding the inheritance.
Wei Qin on the high platform patiently replied: “The ninety-nine Fire Altars are not my methods.
“They were set up by the Blazing Fire Immortal during her lifetime.
“Her intention was not to kill you, but to select a suitable successor.
“But don’t underestimate her methods just because I say so.
“These flames contain her Dao Rhythm; the slightest carelessness will lead to death and the destruction of your Dao.”
Upon hearing this.
Someone immediately stepped forward and declared: “I’ll try!”
This person was a young man, wearing a black long robe, with a powerful imposing manner.
He held a drawn long blade in his hand, similar in type to a Horse Chopping Blade.
The blade’s cold light flickered, faintly revealing the sharpness of Blade Intent.
His aura was steady and confident, attracting attention.
“Nascent Soul Eighth Level, excellent Blade Intent! Who is this person?”
Xie Fei perceived the man’s realm with his spiritual sense.
“This is the Young Island Master of Azure Sky Island in the East Sea, his name is Zhang Donglai.
“Azure Sky Island’s Blade Art is unparalleled in the East Sea; Zhang Donglai has exceptional talent, and his Dao of the Blade is astounding!
“Before I came to the East Sea, I specifically searched for some information about the East Sea, and I have a fair understanding of these major forces.
“Although his cultivation is only at Nascent Soul Eighth Level, he can use his blade to fight against Transformation Realm cultivators, not to be underestimated!”
Zhou Hongxian secretly transmitted her voice.
Xie Fei nodded and transmitted his voice: “Okay, let’s observe his situation first, and ascertain the truth of the divine flames on the platform!”
He focused his gaze on Zhang Donglai, sweeping his spiritual sense over Yuan Yu and the other experts.
Seeing everyone’s indifferent expressions, they seemed to be observing the Young Island Master’s situation.
Then, the Young Island Master leaped onto a nearby platform with his blade.
His entire being exuded powerful Blade Intent, his imposing manner like a rainbow.
Boom!
The moment Zhang Donglai stepped onto the platform.
The platform suddenly erupted with firelight!
The originally silent divine flames suddenly erupted, transforming into intense light, like a blazing sun bursting.
Countless fire serpents surged out from the divine flames, their spiritual light flowing, containing the Fire Law, rushing towards Zhang Donglai!
His pupils constricted slightly, and he swung his Horse Chopping Blade. Blade Light surged as he attempted to cleave these fire serpents.
However.
These fire serpents treated the Blade Light as nothing.
Their spiritual bodies became ethereal; they instantly passed through the Blade Light and burrowed into Zhang Donglai’s body!
His body stiffened, and his blade momentum stopped.
Then, the light in his eyes dimmed, and his aura became silent.
“It’s actually a Dao technique assessment!”
Zhou Hongxian exclaimed in surprise: “The Blazing Fire Immortal’s selection of a successor is actually to see if the other party can withstand her Blazing Fire Dao!
“If their concepts are incompatible, or their comprehension is too low, or their foundation is insufficient, they will absolutely not be able to pass.
“This isn’t a contest of techniques, nor a contest of cultivation.
“It’s a Dao technique and will, a concept!”
Hearing her words, Xie Fei immediately understood the function of the Blazing Fire Immortal’s divine flames.
“So that’s it!
“The divine flames contain the Blazing Fire Immortal’s Dao Rhythm; they cannot be broken by brute force, but must be merged with the Fire Dao!
“Although Zhang Donglai’s Dao of the Blade is strong, his Fire Dao attainment is likely insufficient, I’m afraid the outcome is dire!”
…
Zhang Donglai stood on the platform, as if suddenly frozen in place.
His mind became completely silent.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that he had been pulled into the divine flame assessment by the Blazing Fire Immortal’s methods.
In this situation, no one could help.
Nor could anyone interfere.
Unless they directly killed Zhang Donglai.
Everyone watched silently, seemingly using the Young Island Master as a “pathfinder”.
After a moment.
Zhang Donglai suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils filled with boundless flames, madly shouting: “Fire! I am the Fire God!”
In the blink of an eye, he became like a madman, constantly swinging his blade at the void.
Without method, without logic.
“No good! The Young Island Master can’t withstand the Blazing Fire Dao!
“He’s gone mad!
“Quick! Quickly save the Young Island Master!”
Several Azure Sky Island experts’ expressions changed instantly.
One of them hurriedly shouted to Wei Qin: “Blazing Fire Immortal, Azure Sky Island will withdraw from this selection! Release our Young Island Master!”
“You take my words as a joke?” Wei Qin sneered, “It seems that one death hasn’t made you realize, then let’s add your bodies to the mix!
“It just so happens that my Fire Sprites have suffered some serious losses; I’ll use you to replenish them.”
Hearing this.
Several Azure Sky Island members immediately made their move.
Beams of spiritual light erupted, transforming into boundless seawater, attacking.
The moment the seawater appeared, it was as if it were about to engulf the entire Small World.
Sky-obscuring waves fell from the sky.
“Child’s play!”
Wei Qin sneered dismissively, without moving her feet, raising her hand towards the sky.
Boom!
A boundless sea of fire appeared.
It immediately countered the seawater, presenting a strange sight of flames engulfing the sea.
After dealing with the seawater.
Seven or eight firelights descended from the sea of fire, instantly reaching the Azure Sky Island members.
Bang!
Raging flames erupted, wrapping around and burning each person.
Just as these experts were about to die.
Suddenly.
Someone made a move!
A firelight different from Wei Qin’s appeared.
Initially, it was only the size of a person’s head.
Then, it expanded, vast like a falling heavenly fire.
It instantly reached the Azure Sky Island members.
Boom…
Several consecutive loud bangs.
Wei Qin’s flames were actually swallowed!
Then, the firelight dissipated.
A figure in snowy white appeared before them.
It was none other than the True Inheritor Senior Disciple of the Exquisite Holy Land, Yuan Yu!
“This…”
Xie Fei was startled upon seeing this scene.
He never expected that Yuan Yu, a Nascent Soul Ninth Level cultivator, could actually block Wei Qin’s attack!
If it were him, he absolutely couldn’t block this Blazing Fire Dao.
Unless he risked everything, there would only be a slight possibility.
“Good!
“This Fire Dao is marvelous! Extremely marvelous!”
On the high platform, Wei Qin’s tone was filled with surprise: “What is your name?
“With your control over fire, you are worthy of becoming the inheritor of the Blazing Fire Dao without needing to pass the selection!”
