Refining the Heavenly Flame Origin, Flame Mantra Evolves!

As Fang Yang successfully devoured the Profound Yellow Flame, the violent Heavenly Flames within his body finally calmed down.

The Deep Yellow Flame flowed slowly through his Meridians like a docile stream. Wherever the flames passed, the Meridian walls gleamed with a crystalline luster.

Fang Yang immersed his mind within himself and could feel the transformative changes brought by the Profound Yellow Flame.

The Meridians scorched by the extreme heat were repairing themselves at a visible rate, and the newly formed Meridian walls were several times tougher than before.

The bones throughout his body were also tempered by the Heavenly Flame, like divine iron refined through countless hammerings. Their surfaces shone faintly with a metallic gleam, and mysterious flame patterns could vaguely be seen.

Is this the effect of a Heavenly Flame tempering the body...? Fang Yang marveled inwardly.

He tried circulating his Soul Power and discovered that it flowed through the new Meridians more than thirty percent faster than before, while also becoming exceptionally condensed.

Every strand of Soul Power carried the Profound Yellow Flame's uniquely heavy aura. As it circulated, it even faintly resonated with the Soul Power of heaven and earth around him.

Fang Yang sat cross-legged, his closed eyelids trembling slightly.

When he slowly opened his eyes, Deep Yellow Flames swirled within his ink-black pupils, dyeing his entire irises deep yellow.

The flames flowed through his eyes, transforming into intertwined Profound Yellow Qi that condensed into ancient runes. They flickered with a heart-palpitating pressure.

A moment later, the flames in his pupils gradually faded, returning them to their pitch-black color.

However, his eyes had become brighter and deeper than before. Clearly, after being tempered by the Heavenly Flame, he had gained certain hidden benefits.

The Deep Yellow Flame, the Profound Yellow Flame, transformed into a Core Flame and hovered steadily within his body.

Though this Core Flame was small, it contained astonishing energy. It continuously released pure flames, nourishing Fang Yang's Meridians throughout his body.

"This is the Heavenly Flame Origin..." Fang Yang murmured.

Suddenly, Fang Yang frowned slightly as the Profound Yellow Flame inside him erupted without warning.

He remembered that Heavenly Flames possessed the trait of devouring one another.

The Profound Yellow Flame was actively devouring his awakened Elemental Flame Martial Soul!

"Not good, is this Martial Soul Backlash?!"

For a Soul Master, a shattered Martial Soul was equivalent to having their foundation of cultivation destroyed. At best, they would become crippled; at worst, they would die on the spot.

He could only watch as his original Elemental Flame Martial Soul was completely devoured by the Profound Yellow Flame.

Just when he thought disaster was imminent, the Profound Yellow Origin within his body suddenly released vast energy and instantly repaired all the damage.

Fang Yang raised his right hand.

"This is..."

What danced in his palm was no longer an ordinary orange-red flame, but a cluster of deep, heavy Profound Yellow flames.

It burned quietly, yet emanated a suffocating pressure. The surrounding air twisted slightly beneath the intense heat.

When a Heavenly Flame appeared, Myriad Fires submitted!

With a thought from Fang Yang, his consciousness emerged from the internal space of the Heavenly Flame Bead.

As he pushed open his door, the laughter coming from the Living Room unconsciously lifted the corners of his lips.

His mother, Lin Ximeng, and Na'er had already returned.

Na'er wore a brand-new white dress. The simple dress made the already cute and beautiful Na'er seem even more lively.

"Mom, did you find any information about Na'er's family?"

Fang Yang walked over to Lin Ximeng and pretended to ask without knowing anything.

Although he knew Na'er's true identity, he still had to act as though he were completely unaware.

Lin Ximeng sighed softly and lightly tapped Fang Yang's head.

"There are no records of Na'er at City Hall. But you little rascal, the first thing you ask when you come out is this? Why not ask whether Mom was tired today first?"

"Ow, that hurt!"

Fang Yang dramatically covered his head, though his eyes were full of laughter. "I know Mom is the best. I was just worried about Na'er."

Seeing Fang Yang clown around, Lin Ximeng's eyes filled with helplessness. "Yang'er, tell me. What are you plotting?"

Fang Yang immediately turned serious. "Mom, since we can't find Na'er's family for now, can we adopt Na'er first? I'll take good care of my little sister!"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Na'er, who was fiddling with the hem of her dress.

"So cute~"

"Na'er is so cute~"

"You little rascal, didn't I agree to it last night? Still, we'll have to see whether Na'er is willing to stay." Lin Ximeng smiled gently.

Fang Yang nodded and walked over to Na'er.

Looking into Na'er's crystal-clear amethyst eyes, he said softly, "Na'er, how about staying with us from now on? I'll protect you and never let you suffer the slightest grievance. I'll buy you lots of delicious food too!"

"Mm, I'm willing. But what I like best is the noodles Brother makes for me."

Na'er blinked and spoke slowly.

"Na'er, if you want them, I'll make them for you every day from now on!"

Seeing Na'er agree to stay, the heavy stone in Fang Yang's heart finally fell away.

He was truly afraid of being cuckolded by Tang Wulin.

Standing nearby, Lin Ximeng looked at Fang Yang and frowned slightly. "Yang'er, you seem... to have changed a little?"

Fang Yang touched his face and feigned surprise. "Mom, you noticed? Did I become more handsome?"

He deliberately struck an exaggerated pose, making Na'er cover her mouth and giggle.

However, Na'er could vaguely sense a terrifying flame within Brother Fang Yang's body.

A flame? She was unfamiliar with it...

Lin Ximeng shook her head, though she could not hide the smile at the corner of her lips. "Yang'er, you really are full of yourself!"

But she understood in her heart that some subtle change had indeed occurred in Fang Yang.

Those eyes were deeper and more spirited than before, and his entire body gave off an indescribable aura.

Afterward, Lin Ximeng went to make dinner, while Fang Yang comforted Na'er.

Then he returned to his room.

I almost... forgot about the cultivation technique's evolution! Fang Yang reminded himself inwardly.

The wild joy of devouring the Heavenly Flame had nearly made him miss the most important step.

Fang Yang sat cross-legged on the bed. Soul Power surged within his body as scorching Fire Soul Power roared endlessly through his Meridians.

At a thought, a ball of Deep Yellow Flame Origin slowly emerged.

Unlike ordinary fierce flames, this fire was not ostentatious. Instead, it exuded an ancient, weighty aura, as though it had settled through a thousand years—this was the twenty-third-ranked Profound Yellow Flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!

"Let's begin..."

Fang Yang took a deep breath and circulated the Flame Mantra within his body at full force. The Soul Power in his Meridians transformed into countless tiny flaming chains that wrapped around the Profound Yellow Flame.

The Heavenly Flame seemed to possess intelligence. Instinctively, it sensed that this would not be a simple devouring, but a complete refinement.

The Profound Yellow Flame instantly erupted! Violent flames surged like furious dragons, and the scorching heat twisted the air throughout the room.

It could accept being devoured by Fang Yang and used by him, but it could not become one with him!

Fang Yang let out a muffled groan. His skin instantly reddened from the burning heat, but he clenched his teeth and pushed the Flame Mantra to its limit.

Ancient runes appeared on the Soul Power chains, dragging the struggling flaming dragon inch by inch back into his body.

"Refine it at once!"

With a Low Shout, the Profound Yellow Flame was bound by the chains and forcibly drawn into his body.

Fang Yang's Soul Power transformed into a furnace, refining and fusing the Heavenly Flame Origin bit by bit.

The process was like being cut by a thousand blades. Every inch of his Meridians endured the scorching of blazing fire, yet he remained clear-headed throughout.

Who knew how long passed before the Deep Yellow Flame was finally completely refined? It became a trickling stream that merged into his limbs and bones, becoming part of him.

A muffled boom came from within Fang Yang's body. At this moment, the Flame Mantra successfully evolved!

To his surprise, he discovered that the evolved Flame Mantra had cultivation pathways far more complex than before.

Most wondrously, although the cultivation pathways had become several times more complicated, the time needed to complete one circulation had grown shorter and shorter.

The Soul Power produced after every cycle became increasingly pure, all of it carrying the Profound Yellow Flame's uniquely heavy aura.

"Yellow Tier High Grade!"

This evolution had allowed the Flame Mantra to leap two grades directly from Yellow Tier Low Grade. It was nothing short of a complete transformation.

Fang Yang opened his eyes, and Profound Yellow Qi once again flowed within the depths of his pupils.

He spread open his palm. A wisp of Deep Yellow Flame danced joyfully, causing the surrounding temperature to soar abruptly before returning to calm in an instant.

This was becoming one with a Heavenly Flame!
