Chapter 888: Chapter 333: Schemes within Schemes, Anomalous Fire Evolution, Spatial Transformation (Merged Ten-Thousand-Word Chapter)

.....

On the other side.

Boundary of the Land of the Far West.

Cao Xiang’er led her men to Hidden Spirit Mountain, only to find it was merely a half-leveled hill, its interior plainly visible, without any trace of Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Mansion ruins.

Waited for several days.

Within a thousand-mile radius, Fu Changsheng and Elder Yun were nowhere to be seen, and the sensing spiritual artifact left on Fu Changsheng had thus failed.

Cao Xiang’er’s face changed.

It was a trap.

Changsheng is probably already deep in peril by now.

Clearly.

The real Hidden Spirit Mountain is elsewhere.

This place is merely a blinding technique.

....

A dizzying sensation.

When Fu Changsheng opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dark cave. Beside him, Elder Yun waved his sleeve, casting a technique onto the stone wall, and the fluorescent stones were activated, lighting up the entire cave mansion.

Fu Changsheng quickly swept his divine sense around.

He discovered the cave was covered in dust, with meditation vines crawling over the walls, the whole passage almost blocked, indicating it hadn’t been visited for years.

Elder Yun chuckled and said:

”Younger Brother Fu, it has been decades since I last came here, so there may be some discrepancies with what I described. Let’s go, go, go, at the end of the passage is the Fire Fusion Passage.”

Elder Yun’s voice was laced with uncontrollable excitement.

Fu Changsheng followed behind, sweeping his divine sense. He noted the cave was equipped with an isolation array, leaving the outside situation unknown:

”According to timing, Cao Xiang’er and her men should have already set up ahead of time nearby.”

The passage meandered.

The deeper they went, the higher the temperature, until at the end, a fiery red scene came into view. Yet, a barrier separated them from it. Nevertheless, the scorching heat inside still seeped out in wisps.

Elder Yun circled the barrier.

Then pinched a seal with his right hand, chanting incantations, as his left hand swung with sword point.

Buzz!

A spirit light shot into the Qian position of the barrier.

Rumble!

The barrier trembled instantly.

Elder Yun’s eyes showed a hint of joy, and he pinched the technique again.

With spirit lights entering the barrier, the entire barrier rumbled continuously, followed by a boom, as if a mirror shattering.

Boom!

Scorching fire aura surged forth instantly.

Elder Yun was prepared, waving his sleeve to place a Qiankun Shield in front.

After the barrier was opened.

A long Fire Fusion Passage came into view, a sea of fire within the passage, extremely fierce fire force. Despite the formidable temperature, even Elder Yun’s Tier Three High-Grade Qiankun Shield showed signs of melting.

Elder Yun cautiously stepped back:

”Younger Brother Fu, it’s your turn now.”

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.

Stepped forward.

The Red Lotus Earth Core Fire within him buzzed out, transforming into a fire net enveloping his body. The dense fire spiritual qi emanating from the Fire Fusion Passage began to churn, as if provoked.

Before entering the Molten Fire Passage.

Fu Changsheng’s thought fell onto the Sea of Divine Sense panel, and after exchanging a wave of intelligence, he glanced back at Elder Yun, who still wore a smiling expression:

”Younger Brother Fu, please go ahead.”

A sneer.

Fu Changsheng promptly stepped into the Molten Fire Passage.

Boom!

The flames in the passage rolled violently, engulfing him in an instant.

Elder Yun stood guard outside the passage.

Yet he saw more and more flames billowing within the passage, but Fu Changsheng showed no intention of splitting the Nine Yang Flame, and with a divine sense sweep, Elder Yun found Fu Changsheng sitting cross-legged, refining the Nine Yang Flame on the spot:

”This....”

This clearly deviated from their previous plan.

Upon teleportation.

He distinctly instructed Fu Changsheng to first pave the way, and once inside the cave mansion’s inner layer, then slowly refine the Nine Yang Flame.

Elder Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Evidently.

Fu Changsheng aimed to fuse the anomalous fire to enhance his own combat prowess.

”Overestimating himself, let’s see what tricks you can muster.”

Elder Yun snorted coldly, rather than urging, he found a place to sit cross-legged, calmly waiting, seemingly unconcerned by Fu Changsheng’s refinement and fusion of the Nine Yang Flame posing any threat to him.

...

In the Molten Fire Passage.

With Fu Changsheng’s cultivation technique operating.

With a buzz.

The Earth Core Fire within him instantly condensed into a Red Lotus, with each rotation releasing powerful suction. The surrounding Nine Yang Flame seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, irresistibly converging toward the Red Lotus.

Boom!

The air trembled.

Above Fu Changsheng’s head, the Nine Yang Flame gradually condensed into nine enormous suns, emitting dazzling light and terrifying heat.

Fu Changsheng changed his technique.

The Red Lotus within accelerated its rotation instantly, as its surroundings became increasingly glowing, and corresponding to it, the power of the nine suns was discharged, absorbed, and assimilated by the Red Lotus.

Under these dynamics.

The fire spiritual qi of the nine suns began to weaken.

As time passed.

Boom!

One sun under the powerful suction of the Red Lotus gradually lost its radiance, eventually vanishing. At the moment of its disappearance, a strange light merged into the Red Lotus, and a solar mark appeared among the leaves of the Red Lotus. This mark emitted a faint yet distinctive aura, a sign of successful fusion.

In the blink of an eye.

Several months passed silently.

As one sun after another was refined, the solar marks on the Red Lotus increased, and its glow became more intense. Finally, when the last sun was thoroughly devoured and refined by the Red Lotus, the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire within Fu Changsheng slightly trembled. During its rotation, a sun phantom hung around the Red Lotus, emanating a powerful and arresting aura.
