Giving a Lecture

Endless flames in four colors gushed ceaselessly from fissures shaped like well mouths, as if they had no end. But the wells Baihou led Danchan Clone to were not the ones belching flames. They merely flickered with firelight, and the flames within had been deliberately suppressed.

"These fissures formed naturally in the Baixuan Secret Realm. When the flames pour freely out of them, there's nothing inside. But if the flames are suppressed, they transform once every ten thousand eras, and each transformation gives rise to a unique precious fruit. Every kind is different, and they taste wonderful. To be honest, Beast Master Zihuo among us took the final step by eating these fruits," Baihou explained.

Beast Master Zihuo was a half-humanoid flesh-and-blood lifeform, hunched over with eight arms. Seven fissures split his head, oozing viscous flames. Yet his body had the texture of a Rock Lifeform, and the astonishing flames radiating from him warped the space around him.

Of the five Venerable Level Special Lifeforms, Beast Master Zihuo had the most magnificent divine-body aura. Though his divine body stood only a little over fifty kilometers tall, it was immensely robust. But in terms of combat strength, he was the roughest of them all. Danchan Clone had watched Venerable Cetian sweep him aside with a single staff strike. Zihuo had spent the entire battle suppressing the black light around his body, and now Danchan Clone understood why.

Wisps of black, smoke-like light still drifted from Beast Master Zihuo's back. He grinned. "Danchan, don't underestimate these precious fruits. Each one contains a trace of an exceptionally unique energy from the Law of Space Origin. A single fruit might not do much, but eat enough of them, and even a lifeform with no foundation can earn recognition from the Law of Space Origin.
