Fire Origin Secret Canon

Old Man Huo picked up the wine pot, took a small sip, and sighed, "Yes, slave! Actually, I once proposed to abolish this rule, but it was no use. It was a decision made by the first batch of Heavenly Venerables of the Divine Realm, and also by my grandmasters. Alas, I was imprisoned in a closed space for a hundred million years because of my suggestion."

Zhang Xingfeng was extremely shocked. "One hundred million years?"

The Old Man Huo chuckled and said, "Actually, for a master of my level, a hundred million years is nothing. As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Back then, I only completely shut down my six senses and cultivated for eighty million years before directly breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable level. At that time, the so-called sealed space was completely useless. I came out of that space directly. Those grandmasters didn't say anything to me back then; instead, they congratulated me. Hehe... In fact, they also knew that I had broken through to the Heavenly Venerable realm, making me the current controller of the cosmic fire element! I had truly reached the highest level of cosmic power!"

"Of course, this has no impact on my ancestors. After all, they have already broken free from the rules of this realm. In fact, once you break through to the Celestial Venerable realm, you transcend the control of the universe. My role as the so-called controller of the universe elements is just a chore. Many of my brothers are hoping that those Celestial Venerables will step up and take on this chore as soon as possible. However... hehe, that Heavenly Venerable Huode is the most promising among the current Celestial Venerables. I think it won't be long before I can be freed!"

The Old Man Huo seemed quite moved. He picked up the wine jug again, took a big gulp, and said, "After managing the fire element of the universe for so many years, I now understand that many things cannot be changed. For example, the rules of the Divine Realm. The existence of slaves is the most suitable for the Divine Realm. If this rule is abolished, the Divine Realm may be in great chaos. I didn't see it clearly back then, but I understand it now!"

"It's necessary for Low-grade Divine Human to become a slave? How is that possible?" Zhang Xingfeng found it hard to believe.

The Old Man Huo chuckled, "Low-grade Divine Human have low power. Under the immense pressure of the Divine Realm, they are like frail individuals. If they were allowed to survive in the Divine Realm, they simply couldn't, since the Divine Realm is absolutely ruled by the strong! These Low-grade Divine Human in the Divine Realm, due to the lack of divine Spiritual Qi, cannot even complete some tasks and can only serve as slaves. However, these slaves belong to the major cities and are collectively owned. These slaves are digging for Divine Stones in those mines!"

Zhang Xingfeng glared and said, "Didn't they say they were weak in the Divine Realm? How could they possibly mine mineral deposits?"

The Old Man Huo chuckled, "Hehe, you don't understand. Actually, only when your body is strong will cultivation be easier in the future. The body is like a container, and divine energy and Divine Essence Power are like water. The larger the container, the more water it can hold! Those Low-grade Divine Human were slaves in those mines, firstly to toughen their bodies! Secondly, only in such a place could their weak bodies withstand the training! In other places, their bodies might collapse before they were even properly trained!"

Zhang Xingfeng immediately asked, "What do you mean? Why can it withstand the training in that mine?"

The Old Man Huo said, "There are plenty of Divine Stones in that mine. It's full of Divine Essence Power. Only there will the influence of divine Spiritual Qi be minimal. Moreover, when they mine, they can more easily replenish their Divine Essence Power! So they must stay there. They can only leave the mine when they reach the level of Mid-grade Divine Human!"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled and said, "It seems the Divine Realm has good intentions too!"

Old Man Huo suddenly sneered, "Good intentions? Hmph, if it were all good intentions, why would I have objected back then? What I said was just general principles, but in reality, the city lords and other figures in the major cities of the Divine Realm completely exploited those Low-grade Divine Human, hoping to mine more Divine Stones! Under the oppression of these city lords, many Low-grade Divine Human collapsed from exhaustion! Some were even beaten to death by the overseers sent by the city lords and other figures!"

Zhang Xingfeng exclaimed in disbelief, "Such things happen in the Divine Realm?"

The Old Man Huo sneered, "What place do you think is perfect? You cultivators think the Cultivation World Realm is so wonderful? In reality? Those Heavenly Immortals are just barely clinging to life!"

Zhang Xingfeng was speechless. The Immortal Realm was indeed as it was. Back when he cultivated in the Cultivation World, he considered the Immortal Realm a perfect place, a place without strife. Yet, his brothers Zhao Jia and Li Yu were like stray dogs there. And now, because of Zhang Xingfeng's health, Zhao Jia and Li Yu were enjoying good food and drink at the Azure Emperor!

"No matter where it is, it's the same. The strong are respected. Although we know that some people are exploiting those slaves like this, it's something we can't control because it's a situation that exists in hundreds of thousands of cities throughout the entire Divine Realm. It's impossible to suppress. Moreover, Low-grade Divine Human aren't so easy to kill; only one in a thousand will die. So the eight Heavenly Venerables of the Divine Realm just turn a blind eye," the Old Man Huo said helplessly.

Zhang Xingfeng had made up his mind. "My Tianxin Sect must establish a rule that anyone who has not reached the Mid-grade Divine Human realm must not enter the Divine Realm!"

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly had a new idea and asked, "Master, do you know if the people of our realm stay together after they cultivate to become gods?" Zhang Xingfeng was already worried after hearing Old Man Huo say that the Divine Realm had hundreds of thousands of large cities. If the disciples of the Tianxin Sect were to be scattered in the future, even if he went to the Divine Realm, he would probably have a hard time gathering them together.

The Old Man Huo smiled and glanced at Zhang Xingfeng, saying, "Don't worry, every major city in the Divine Realm governs dozens of dimensional spaces. Your realm belongs to Yaochi City. Speaking of Yaochi City, I'm reminded of someone who seems to have a master-disciple relationship with you. That person is called Pangu!"

Zhang Xingfeng immediately asked, "Master Pangu? Master, tell me, what happened to my Master Pangu? I heard two deities say that my Master Pangu now very powerful."

The Old Man Huo nodded and said, "Your master is indeed a genius, having created Cultivation Method like the 'Six Revolutions Profound Body Art.' It's truly remarkable; in the Divine Realm, he could rival ordinary Lower Heavenly Gods simply by relying on his powerful physique. However, his future cultivation will be more difficult because he focuses solely on physical cultivation. There is a Body Refining Cultivation Method in the Divine Realm, but it's of the metal element, Body Refinement four levels. The first is the Immortal Undying Body; your physical body is even stronger than that of Immortal Emperor. They only seem stronger because they use powerful immortal energy to protect their bodies, but once they reach the Divine Realm, they'll realize how weak their physical bodies are! The second level is your master Pangu's Six Revolutions Profound Body. It can reach the level of a lower-level god. The next level is the Supreme True Body, similar to Central Heavenly God, and can reach the Upper Heavenly God! Breaking through this third level allows one to become a Heavenly Venerable!"

"So, my Pangu master still has two major hurdles to overcome on the path to becoming a Heavenly Venerable?" Zhang Xingfeng sighed inwardly.

The Old Man Huo nodded and said, "It's a pity your master is of the earth element, otherwise he could have followed the metal element path. Earth element cultivation has never been done before. Your master's path ahead is very long, and he will need to explore it slowly on his own!"

"Oh, right, Master. Didn't you say you were going to give me some kind of Supreme Lore?" Zhang Xingfeng asked the Old Man Huo with a smile.

The Old Man Huo stood up and said solemnly, "You are Innate Fire Spirit Body, and you possess the extremely rare Origin of Fire! You are capable of cultivating my ultimate Supreme Lore, the 'Fire Origin Secret Canon'!"

Suddenly, a beam of light burst forth before Zhang Xingfeng's eyes. The light was golden and extremely dazzling!

At the center of the light was a Metal Fragment the size of a book in the Mortal World, similar in size to the Metal Fragment that the old man in black had given him last time!

The Old Man Huo expression waved his hand slightly, and the Metal Fragment rushed into Zhang Xingfeng's spiritual platform. Immediately, Zhang Xingfeng grasped the secret technique. However, this Metal Fragment was different from the original Metal Fragment from the <Realm of Space Metal Fragment; it didn't shatter but instead shrank. It directly entered Zhang Xingfeng's Purple Gold Yuan Venerable, merging into the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable bead within it!

"The Fire Element Power - lead!"

With a low shout, the Old Man Huo unleashed a powerful force that instantly pierced through Zhang Xingfeng's entire body. Zhang Xingfeng trembled and suddenly felt the pillar within the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable tremble, releasing wisps of energy—an energy completely different from the Limitless Power.

Within Zhang Xingfeng's spiritual platform, there were three Metal Fragment: the Mustard Seed Space, the Absolute Space, and the Independent Realm. The Mustard Seed Space piece had already fused together, leaving only two pieces. At this moment, just as the Fire Element Power within Zhang Xingfeng's body began to surge...

The Metal Fragment of the Absolute Space suddenly shattered, instantly merging completely into every part of Zhang Xingfeng's body, into the Limitless Power, the Fire Element Power, the power of purple gold, and the power of the Purple Gold Yuan Venerable...

Zhang Xingfeng slowly closed his eyes, his mind completely immersed in the secret techniques, talismans, and hand seals of the <Fire Origin Secret Canon> and <Absolute Space>...

Zhang Xingfeng felt as if he were in an endless ocean, filled with countless talismans and hand seals. Zhang Xingfeng studied them desperately, almost unconsciously...

I don't know how much time has passed!

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. He had completely comprehended the Absolute Space and the first three levels of the Fire Origin Secret Canon. From now on, he would only need to cultivate it slowly. The Fire Origin Secret Canon was very profound, divided into five levels! The first three levels contained content, while the last two levels were fully comprehended. Breaking through the first level would make one Lower Heavenly God, the second level a Central Heavenly God, the third level an Upper Heavenly God, the fourth level a Celestial Venerable, and the fifth level an existence that transcends everything, breaking free from the Principle of the universe!

This "Absolute Space" should theoretically be usable only by gods, but Zhang Xingfeng managed to use it with Fire Element Power! After all, Fire Element Power is stronger than Divine Essence Power in some ways, but Zhang Xingfeng's fire elemental power is currently too scarce!

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly opened his eyes.

"Master? How long have I been cultivating?" Zhang Xingfeng had a feeling that he had been cultivating for a very long time, so long that he could hardly sense it.

The Old Man Huo smiled as he looked at Zhang Xingfeng and said, "Very good. You were able to fully comprehend the first three levels in one go. Your mental cultivation has now reached the Heavenly God realm, and your internal cultivation has not changed. You have cultivated for a total of 100,000 years this time!"

Zhang Xingfeng was shocked. "Ten thousand years?"

The Old Man Huo said matter-of-factly, "Do you think the 'Fire Origin Secret Canon' is easy to cultivate? It took me 80 million years to see through the fifth level back then, which was already the fastest in history. Although the first three levels are simple, it still took me a million years. You're ten times faster than me, and you're still not happy?"

Zhang Xingfeng was immediately anxious. "But there are many things in my Tianxin Sect, and my Yu Yan, and..." Zhang Xingfeng was in a state of utter confusion. Ten thousand years, Yu Yan others must be going crazy waiting for him. Zhang Xingfeng was almost driven to death by his master!

The Old Man Huo laughed and said, "So that's what you're talking about. Don't worry, when your master broke through to the Heavenly Venerable realm, he had already broken free from the control of this universe. Although I can't drastically change the Principle the universe, slightly altering space and time for you is no problem at all! Even though you've cultivated your mind for 100,000 years, you're still in my space, and everything outside is still the same as when you came in!"

Zhang Xingfeng was dumbfounded.

Control the time!

What incredible Divine Ability this is! No wonder his master was so arrogant and haughty. Now Zhang Xingfeng realized that his master had the right to be arrogant and had the strength to be arrogant!

Control the time!

No wonder my master said I had broken free from the universe's control; it seems that's indeed true. I've cultivated for a hundred thousand years, yet outside, not a single second has passed; everything is completely still!

"When will I be able to possess such great Divine Ability?" Zhang Xingfeng wondered to himself.

Old Man Huo saw through Zhang Xingfeng's thoughts at a glance and said, "Don't worry, judging from how fast you cultivate your mind, I estimate that you will reach my current level in about a billion years, which is definitely the fastest in history!" Old Man Huo seemed very proud.

"A billion years?" Zhang Xingfeng was a little surprised. "Well, Master, a billion years is nothing to you, but it's still a very long time for me!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng was very surprised. He carefully examined his body and was even more astonished. He asked, "Master, haven't I cultivated for 100,000 years? How come my power is still the same?"

The Old Man Huo scoffed, "You silly boy, you've grasped the 'Fire Origin Secret Canon' I gave you, but that's only for mental cultivation. Of course, your physical Internal Cultivation hasn't improved much! But... as the saying goes, sharpening the axe doesn't delay the work of chopping wood. Once your mental cultivation improves, your physical cultivation will also improve quickly. Don't worry, I guarantee you'll reach the early stage of Immortal Emperor within a hundred years. Hmph, a Celestial God's mental cultivation, it would be strange if it wasn't fast!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng burst into laughter, no longer bothered by it. He understood that mental cultivation was laying the groundwork for his future cultivation, which would make his future cultivation even faster!

One hundred years to go from the early stage of Immortal Monarch to the late stage of Immortal Emperor!

What else could Zhang Xingfeng possibly be unhappy or dissatisfied with?
