So.
When the system transmitted the information regarding Pink Shen Shihuang, Shen Shihuang gained a rough understanding. When it came down to it, Pink Shen Shihuang was not wrong; the two of them were indeed the same person.
However.
The other party had clearly utilized the power of an exotic flame to become a unique individual.
Yet, although Pink Shen Shihuang was a unique individual, he was merely replicating certain things from Shen Shihuang, such as his battle techniques.
But unfortunately.
The system—the other party did not have it.
Upon hearing Shen Shihuang's words, Pink Shen Shihuang's expression changed drastically.
"How do you know that?" Pink Shen Shihuang looked at Shen Shihuang with vigilance.
Shen Shihuang revealed a smile, slowly walked in front of Pink Shen Shihuang, and punched toward the Dragon Subduing Seal in the air.
BANG!!
The Dragon Subduing Seal shattered.
Shen Shihuang looked at him: "You know where my hidden danger lies."
"You only want to become stronger."
"You just want to make me generate negative emotions again."
As he spoke.
The Taisui Flame appeared in Shen Shihuang's hand, instantly turning into a sea of fire that covered the entire city before him. The people inside were incinerated in an instant: "This city is manifested by the exotic flame in your hands, isn't it?"
Indeed.
After the black exotic flame covered the city, everything inside transformed into pink flames.
It was just like an illusion.
Pink Shen Shihuang gritted his teeth and stared at Shen Shihuang: "What are you trying to do?"
"With your current state, you simply cannot do anything to me!"
Pink exotic flames protected his body.
He was indeed correct; although Shen Shihuang understood everything, it was nearly impossible to annihilate Pink Shen Shihuang.
"I want to know other ways to resolve this hidden danger."
"Although your method is simple, have you ever considered that you were born based on me? If I were to have no connection to you at all, do you think you could still survive? Even with the protection of an exotic flame, you would still vanish!"
Upon hearing this, Pink Shen Shihuang's face turned somewhat pale.
"Of course there are other ways."
"That is, you become me!"
Hearing this.
Shen Shihuang smiled lightly: "You also said that you have an exotic flame protecting you, and I have the Taisui Flame. Do you think you can achieve that?"
"Our current situation is that neither of us can do anything to the other. Let's stop with these pointless words, shall we?"
Just as Shen Shihuang said.
Shen Shihuang could not kill Pink Shen Shihuang because the other party had an exotic flame protecting him, and the other party could not kill Shen Shihuang because of the Taisui Flame.
"If I am not mistaken, the exotic flame in your hand and my Taisui Flame are not actually two completely different exotic flames, are they?"
"Time Realm."
"It seems your exotic flame is also related to time!"
Pink Shen Shihuang slowly relaxed.
"You are right."
"You and I are one, and the exotic flames are naturally one as well, yet they are different."
"The time is different."
"I awakened before you did. When it comes down to it, you are me, but I am not you!"
To this.
Shen Shihuang did not care in the slightest.
"Tell me how to solve this. If I cannot become stronger, you will only be stuck here forever. And most importantly, the owner of the Sea Heart Flame is not far from you. I don't believe you don't know that?"
"Do you even believe the words you just said?"
"Only when I become stronger can you become stronger!"
How could Pink Shen Shihuang not know? He was Shen Shihuang, not the other way around.
"You thought correctly; the Taisui Flame is not complete."
"Only when the Taisui Flame is complete can you continue to grow stronger, and once the source energy of the exotic flame in my hand merges with your Taisui Flame, the Taisui Flame will be completely whole."
Shen Shihuang had this suspicion.
However.
Once the pink exotic flame vanished, Pink Shen Shihuang would likely vanish as well, and he had no idea if there would be any other unforeseen consequences by then.
"So..."
Pink Shen Shihuang seemed to know what Shen Shihuang was thinking, so he gave a light smile: "You're overthinking it. Even if the source energy of the exotic flame in my hand is given to the Taisui Flame, neither it nor I will disappear."
"A separate entity, yet still constrained by me?"
Shen Shihuang understood in an instant.
"Then, hand over the source flame energy of the exotic flame in your possession!" Shen Shihuang reached out his hand.
Pink Shen Shihuang looked at him.
"You..."
"Rest assured, you are my negative aspect. With both positive and negative existing simultaneously, I am the true person. If you were to disappear, you should know what the outcome would be for me."
Pink Shen Shihuang looked at Shen Shihuang and asked: "Aren't you afraid that one day, I might turn you completely into me?"
"That depends on your ability."
Pink Shen Shihuang reached one hand into the pink flames and drew out a wisp of fire: "Take it. I hope you can continue to grow stronger; don't let me down!"
Shen Shihuang caught the pink flame.
A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Fengxiao Shiyan?"
Shen Shihuang looked at Pink Shen Shihuang: "Not Taisui Flame?"
Pink Shen Shihuang said: "I told you, it and I are already completely separate entities. Just as you said, I am your negative aspect, and Fengxiao Shiyan is the negative aspect of the Taisui Flame."
Shen Shihuang: "Hiss!"
Time was truly marvelous!
To think it could separate him and the Taisui Flame into such a state?
"Go ahead and fuse them."
"If you trust me."
"Fengxiao Shiyan will not conflict with the Taisui Flame."
Having said that, Pink Shen Shihuang sat down directly.
"I have one more question I don't understand."
Shen Shihuang did not rush to fuse them, but asked instead.
"You want to ask why I know all your combat skills? Or whether I have the same feelings regarding what you see, what you sense, and what you encounter?" Pink Shen Shihuang spoke directly.
Shen Shihuang nodded: "Exactly."
"By utilizing Fengxiao Shiyan, I can only perfectly replicate your combat skills. Of course, once the Taisui Flame is fused, I won't be able to replicate them on my own; I would need your consent, or for you to give them to me directly."
"As for the rest, there is nothing."
"I cannot even replicate your cultivation techniques. Those belong to you, and no one can practice them but you."
"Of course, you have your own techniques, and I have mine."
"The Millennium Art is my technique."
Shen Shihuang understood: "Ten Thousand Year Technique and Millennium Art—they really are a perfect match!"
One for ten thousand years.
One for a thousand autumns.
"Although I don't know how we ended up like this, I have a feeling that once you reach the level of Dou Di, you should understand," Pink Shen Shihuang said.
Dou Di?
Shen Shihuang shook his head.
That was too far away.
"Then, do you know Wu Ci?" Shen Shihuang asked again.
Pink Shen Shihuang shook his head.
"I don't."
"I am your negative aspect, not... you." Although this was a fact, for Pink Shen Shihuang, who already possessed a separate consciousness, it was still difficult to accept.
With that.
Shen Shihuang did not dawdle.
He sat cross-legged directly and began the fusion of the Taisui Flame and Fengxiao Shiyan.
When the two exotic flames met, it was as if water had flowed into the sea; there was not a single ripple.
However, inside Shen Shihuang's body, it was a tempestuous scene, with a sense of fulfillment lingering in his heart.
At this moment, the Taisui Flame, having fused with the Green Lotus Core Flame, erupted completely, its formidable energy flooding through Shen Shihuang's body.
"Is it time to break through?"
Pink Shen Shihuang watched the aura radiating from Shen Shihuang, feeling the overflowing energy within his own body as well.
