Heavenly Flame Fusion

"Master Xiao Ming, how is Her Majesty the Queen?" Yin Shi asked respectfully.

The other Snake-People gathered around were also extremely respectful, not daring to show the slightest offense.

"He's out of danger." Xiao Ming said calmly, glancing at Yin Shi.

Upon hearing this, the Snake-People leaders all showed joy on their faces, and after realizing what was happening, they repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you, Master Xiao Ming."

"Thank you, Master."

"..."

Not only the commanders, but even the ordinary Snake-People guards were extremely excited, which showed that Queen Medusa had a high reputation among the Snake People Race.

Medusa was undoubtedly a qualified queen for the Snake People Race.

Her previous injuries were caused by the fierce battle between the Snake People Race and the Chu Yun Empire, which explains why Medusa is so beloved by the Snake-People.

Faced with Yin Shi and the others' repeated thanks, Xiao Ming simply said calmly, "There's no need for thanks; you've already paid me."

Having calmed down somewhat, Yin Shi smiled broadly and said, "Master Xiao Ming, what are you saying? No amount of reward can compare to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Oh, by the way, Master Xiao Ming, is there anything you need to instruct me on? I'll send someone to do it."

Hearing Yin Shi say this, Xiao Ming, who hadn't intended to do anything, suddenly had an idea and said, "Indeed, there are some things I need to take care of in a secluded room."

"A secret room? I'll arrange it right away." Yin Shi didn't ask Xiao Ming what he wanted to do, but readily agreed.

Soon, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian appeared in a brightly lit secret room.

"Master Xiao Ming, are you satisfied with this secret chamber?" Yin Shi smile, looking at Xiao Ming who was surveying his surroundings.

"Okay." After looking around, Xiao Ming found that the environment of this secret room was quite nice, with tables, chairs, cushions, and even a bed.

"Then I'll take my leave. If you need anything, just call out loudly, and someone will come to serve you. However, because the chamber is sealed, Master, you'll need to go outside; otherwise, the people outside won't be able to hear you." With that, Yin Shi walked out the door.

"Xiao Ming, why are you suddenly looking for a secret room?" Xiao Yi Xian, somewhat puzzled, as she sat on a futon.

"Those Demonic Poison Spot need to be treated."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's heart tightened. She quickly got up and ran to Xiao Ming's side. Her slender fingers seemed to pull open Xiao Ming's collar, revealing the strange poisonous spots.

"It seems like the poison spots have spread a little?" Although the Demonic Poison Spot had only spread a little, Xiao Yi Xian's expression was still somewhat unpleasant.

"A minor problem." Xiao Ming's expression was very calm. A slight spread of the Demonic Poison Spot wouldn't affect him much, but he couldn't let them continue to spread. Although a slight spread wouldn't have much of an impact, if it spread throughout his entire body, even he would find it troublesome.

He doesn't want to ruin his own life, so it's best to resolve this issue now.

Xiao Yi Xian understood that the most urgent matter now was to deal with the Demonic Poison Spot, and she wouldn't delay Xiao Ming any longer, so she released her arms from holding Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming nodded gently to Xiao Yi Xian, then walked to the futon and sat cross-legged, focusing his mind on his body.

Within its crystal-clear body, the flesh and meridians emitted faint light, and the ceaseless flow of Dou Qi coursed through every part of its body.

Only his right chest area was different; there was a pure black mist there, from which subtle energy fluctuations emanated.

Xiao Ming knew that it was the Demonic Poison Spot, and with a thought, a Formless Flame appeared within his body.

Manipulating the Fallen Heart Flame to approach the cloud of mist, the mist began to churn violently as the Fallen Heart Flame drew near.

After a moment, Xiao Ming frowned and stopped roasting.

Just as he expected, the scorching heat of the Fallen Heart Flame alone was unlikely to affect the Demonic Poison Spot. The short period of scorching heat just now was not completely useless to the Demonic Poison Spot, but the purified energy was too little and scarce.

"It seems we still need to try Fused Heavenly Flames." The power of fused Heavenly Flames can undoubtedly be increased significantly, especially since Xiao Ming has five Heavenly Flames. If these flames are fused together, the resulting flame can easily squeeze into the top ten of the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

However, Xiao Ming has never attempted to fuse Heavenly Flames over the years. At most, he has forcibly mixed these Heavenly Flames together outside his body when using the Three-Flame Void Seal. That kind of fusion cannot be considered a true fusion.

Xiao Ming has not fused with the flame for three reasons: first, the Heavenly Flames is violent, and fusion with it is indeed difficult and risky; second, he has no need for it, as a single Heavenly Flames is enough for Xiao Ming; and third, he is researching the Flame Mantra.

The Flame Mantra allows Heavenly Flames to fuse perfectly, and Xiao Ming has been searching for its unique aspects.

After years of research, I've gained some understanding.

"There's no time like the present; perhaps we can try fusing the Heavenly Flames today."

Muttering to himself, Xiao Ming's heart stirred, and five thumb-sized Heavenly Flames appeared on his chest. Two of these Heavenly Flames were almost identical; they were the Big and Small Fallen Heart Flames.

The five Little Huo slowly approached each other, and then, to the astonishment of Xiao Yi Xian, they touched together.

Sizzle!

The moment they touched, a small friction erupted between the Heavenly Flames, culminating in a loud bang as they exploded.

However, the explosion caused no damage and was easily wiped away by Xiao Ming.

It's just five Heavenly Flames, each about the size of a thumb; their impact is limited.

"There were some signs of fusion just now, but there are still some problems. Perhaps it should be like this..." Xiao Ming thought to himself as he considered the operating route of the Flame Mantra.

As he spoke, another Heavenly Flames appeared on his chest.

After repeating this process hundreds of times and failing, the five thumb-sized Heavenly Flames finally merged into a single, white Heavenly Flames with a slightly transparent texture in front of Xiao Ming.

Staring at the new type of flame before him, Xiao Ming smiled with delight. He could sense that this Heavenly Flames was much stronger than Old Man Yao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Making it onto the Heavenly Flame Ranking would be a piece of cake, but it's hard to estimate exactly where he'd rank, since he'd never seen a single one of the top ten Heavenly Flames.

Of course, comparing the power of Heavenly Flames also needs to take into account the energy they contain; it cannot be done by simply ranking them.

"Haha, if it weren't for the Flame Mantra as a reference and the Spirit Nourishing Technique as a foundation, this Heavenly Flames would have been really difficult to fuse. However, I still succeeded in the end, but I still need to continue to improve it."

Xiao Yi Xian, who had been watching Xiao Ming the whole time, was somewhat surprised to hear this. She hadn't expected that Xiao Ming had been fiddling with this for so long, and what did it have to do with solving the Demonic Poison Spot?

"Xiao Ming, I think you should focus on solving the problem of the spreading Demonic Poison Spot first. If that doesn't work, I can use a method of fighting poison with poison to help you suppress the Demonic Poison Spot."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything useless at this crucial moment. This new Heavenly Flames is incredibly effective in refining and sealing the Demonic Poison Spot," Xiao Ming reassured Xiao Yi Xian.
