Chen Lin sat cross-legged and sank his awareness into his Inner Star Space.
Even now, he had yet to fully refine the remaining Celestial Fire.
This flame was of an extremely high grade and possessed a true trait. He had condensed only two inner stars, and their Inner Star Force likewise possessed only a true trait; it had yet to reach the level of genuine true energy.
Thus, he could not suppress the Celestial Fire absolutely and could only nibble away at it bit by bit.

Perhaps he could make use of this.
His original plan had been to absorb all the Celestial Fire's energy and use it to condense his third star.
