Heavenly Flames

Lin Feng trembled violently as he suffered a soul attack for the first time. Relying on his powerful Soul Power, he quickly recovered.

He hurriedly used his Soul Perception to establish several layers of defense. After a fierce struggle, he successfully withstood the remnant soul's attack.

Perhaps seeing that its soul shrieks had no effect, the Purple Cloud Eagle's soul fell silent for a moment.

Then, a violent emotion suddenly surged out of the scroll and rushed toward the depths of Lin Feng's mind.

Taking another deep breath, Lin Feng guarded his mind tightly, not daring to let that violent emotion invade even the slightest bit.

After this battle of souls continued for several more minutes, the Purple Cloud Eagle's remnant soul finally began to slowly dissipate.

Once that beastlike violent emotion receded from his heart like a tide, Lin Feng immediately went limp all over, his body sore and numb.

His pale face looked utterly exhausted. Such a clash of souls consumed far more energy than any physical confrontation.

After resting for a while, Lin Feng placed his palms on the eagle wings again. The Dou Qi within his body slowly began circulating along the route described on the scroll.

A moment later, the Dou Qi flowed to his arms and gradually entered his palms.

The instant Dou Qi appeared in his palms, the eagle wings on the black scroll suddenly shone brilliantly, their purple and black colors growing ever denser.

In the end, they transformed into two tiny streaks of purple-black light and shot into Lin Feng's palms like lightning.

After entering Lin Feng's body, the two tiny streaks of purple-black light rapidly circulated through his Meridians.

When they reached the Meridians along Lin Feng's spine, they abruptly stopped.

Then they turned and forcibly tore open two extremely tiny branch Meridians.

These two branch Meridians extended from the main channels and slowly stopped only after reaching his back.

"Fuck!"

A sudden, agonizing pain erupted from Lin Feng's back. Sweat instantly poured down his forehead, and his fists clenched tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, the intense pain gradually faded. At some point, a pair of palm-sized black eagle wing tattoos had appeared on Lin Feng's back.

Once he recovered from the pain, Lin Feng impatiently poured the Dou Qi within his body through the two tiny branch Meridians and into the pair of small tattoos on his back.

Upon receiving the influx of Dou Qi, the tattoos on his back instantly released a faint purple glow before materializing into wings.

Accompanied by the sound of cloth tearing from his back, the black eagle wings expanded from palm-sized to roughly a foot wide.

Lin Feng was overjoyed at the sight. Having cultivated the Purple Cloud Wings, his chances of escaping danger in the future would increase dramatically.

However, when he touched the damaged clothes on his back, a bitter smile appeared on his lips. He would have to keep several extra sets of clothing in his Storage Ring from now on.

He immediately took off his bothersome shirt, stood up, and began familiarizing himself with the control of the Purple Cloud Wings inside the cave.

A moment later, he arrived at the cave entrance. His wings spread once more, and he shot into the sky in an instant.

Watching the scenery below grow smaller yet increasingly vast, Lin Feng flapped his wings and sped off in a random direction.

The rushing wind howled past his ears, while the earth below rapidly retreated. Every part of this scene felt extraordinarily novel to Lin Feng.

After all, this was Lin Feng's first time soaring through the sky with such freedom. His emotions at that moment were difficult to describe.

Flight was an allure powerful enough to move most people. To pursue it, countless strong cultivators had worked tirelessly toward the realm of Dou Wang.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Feng landed beside the waterfall with a pale face. Looking at the water's surface, he watched the Purple Cloud Wings adhere to his back once again, turning into a pitch-black eagle wing tattoo.

With a bitter expression, he said, "This thing is good, but it consumes far too much Dou Qi. It seems I can only use it at critical moments. For ordinary travel, I'd better honestly rely on my legs."

He then sat cross-legged, circulated his Cultivation Method, and began restoring his Dou Qi.

After a while, Lin Feng sensed that the Dou Qi within his body had become full once more. He opened his eyes and stretched his body.

Afterward, he took out all the Medicinal Herbs and arranged them on the ground. Once he had counted and sorted them, he carefully stored them in Jade Boxes.

After finishing all this, Lin Feng took out that Fragmented Map from his Storage Ring.

He undid the scroll with his hand and slowly spread it open. What came into view was a piece of parchment made from some unknown material.

The slightly yellowed parchment was covered in seemingly patternless lines, with one finger pointing at one of them.

However, when he slowly followed the line, it eventually led right off the parchment, and he found nothing else at all.

After carefully examining it for a while, his gaze fell upon a blurry object resembling a lotus in one corner of the parchment.

Perhaps due to the passage of time, this lotus-shaped object looked faintly yellowed and somewhat blurry, though its general appearance could still be made out.

The lotus was black, and a thin layer of black flame seemed to cling to its surface. Upon closer inspection, the entire lotus gave off an indistinctly demonic aura.

"Is this the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame?" Lin Feng muttered, slowly stroking the lotus pattern.

A trace of fervor flashed through his eyes, but when he thought of how he was merely a tiny Dou Zhe, he sighed softly and put the Fragmented Map back into his Storage Ring.

Somewhat disappointed, he said, "Sigh, a Heavenly Flame isn't something I can obtain right now. I should gather as many Fragmented Maps as possible. Even if I can't subdue the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame later, I can still trade them for quite a few good things."

After all, Heavenly Flames were peculiar flames nurtured by heaven and earth, usually born in certain special environments.

Perhaps they condensed within magma deep beneath the earth, or perhaps they were born in the depths of the mysterious void.

But without exception, they had all endured an extremely long passage of time, absorbing energy for countless years before they could grow.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, each of them possessed certain special abilities.

Some could control volcanic eruptions, while others could increase their owner's cultivation speed.

Thus, every Heavenly Flame was extraordinarily powerful. Even the weakest, ranked twenty-third, possessed combat strength at the Dou Wang level upon reaching maturity.

As for their growth limit, it was unknown!

The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, meanwhile, was ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, and its strength was at the Dou Sheng level!

Lin Feng stood and looked toward the depths of the Monster Mountain Range. Narrowing his eyes, he clenched his fists tightly and muttered, "Once I become proficient with the Roaring Lion Chant and Purple Cloud Wings, I'll have these two trump cards and can venture a little deeper into the Monster Mountain Range. As long as I don't enter the central core region, escaping shouldn't be a problem if anything unexpected happens."

With that thought, Lin Feng took out his spear and began practicing the Roaring Lion Chant.
