The Might of the Green Lotus, Taking On the Queen Head-On
Deep underground, Qin Yu stared at the bluish-white flame in his palm, momentarily at a loss for how to react.
The tip of the flame flickered in his palm, like a young animal that had just found its den, burrowing and wriggling in his hand.
"Why does it feel like you've come to seek refuge with me?"
Qin Yu stared at the blue flame in his palm and muttered to himself.
As soon as I arrived, the sand dunes on the ground collapsed.
After finding the lava pool, the Green Lotus Core Flame revealed itself; the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, which was hostile to it, was simply kicked away by the Green Lotus Core Flame as if it were a roadside snake.
only...
This was completely different from what he had anticipated!
Just as Qin Yu was pondering his next move, the flame in his palm suddenly began to stir.
The lotus-green flame suddenly leaped up, and before Qin Yu could react, it transformed into a streak of green light and pierced straight into his palm.
"Hiss--"
A strong burning sensation instantly spread from the palm to the entire arm. The seed of the Green Lotus Core Flame rushed straight into the meridians, and wherever it passed, the meridians were burned by the high temperature and felt extremely painful.
However, it did not wreak havoc, but instead seemed to have chosen its direction and headed straight for the Battle Crystal inside Qin Yu's body.
Qin Yu's expression changed, and he decisively sat down cross-legged, calmed his mind, and focused all his soul perception into his body.
The fire seed has reached his dantian and is desperately trying to squeeze into his Battle Crystal.
The brownish-yellow light on the surface of the Battle Crystal flickered violently, and with each flicker, a burning sensation that intensified throughout the body would surge.
"This thing..."
Qin Yu gritted his teeth, forcing himself to calm down. Now that the Green Lotus Core Flame had come in on its own, it wasn't going to leave!
He began to manipulate the Earth-Attribute Battle Qi within his body to envelop the seed of the Green Lotus Core Flame layer by layer, actively guiding it to merge into the Battle Crystal.
Since the Green Lotus Core Flame is Heavenly Flames nurtured in the Earth's core, using Earth Attribute power to suppress and fuse with it should also be effective.
Sensing his acceptance, the spark stopped squeezing and began to follow his guidance, gradually merging into the core of the Battle Crystal.
Although the Green Lotus Core Flame did not become agitated and was even restraining its power, its temperature was still unbearable for ordinary people.
However, Qin Yu did not sit idly by and wait for his death. While activating his Earth-Attribute Battle Qi to fuse with the fire seed, he also tried to control the lotus platform that was nurturing the Green Lotus Core Flame. This thing should be able to help control the fire seed of the Green Lotus Core Flame.
As expected, after absorbing some of the energy from the lotus platform into its body, the power of the Green Lotus Core Flame was immediately and significantly suppressed.
Qin Yu's body and meridians, which had been scorched and riddled with holes, were being slowly repaired by the power of the lotus platform.
Gradually, the Dou Qi within Qin Yu's body began to change.
The originally thick and heavy Earth-Attribute Battle Qi quietly gained a layer of hidden violence during the fusion process with the Green Lotus Core Flame.
At the same time, the rich fire and earth elemental energies in the surrounding environment began to flow into Qin Yu's body.
Deep within the earth lies the purest energy of fire and earth, the very essence of the entire Tagor Desert.
As the Green Lotus Core Flame took root, these energies seemed to have found a new home, surging wildly into Qin Yu's body and causing his Dou Qi level to skyrocket.
Samsung, four-star, five-star...
However, the rapid increase in his Dou Qi level also put immense pressure on Qin Yu's body.
Previously, it had been scorched by the Green Lotus Core Flame, and now it was being stretched to the point of exploding by the rapidly expanding Dou Qi.
To ensure his safety, Qin Yu immediately blocked the pathways for surrounding energy to enter his body and tried his best to expel excess power from his body, controlling the surge of Dou Qi to a level that he could accept.
Time passed slowly, but deep within the earth, Qin Yu could not perceive the passage of time and could only focus on promoting the fusion of the Green Lotus Core Flame with himself.
Once his Dou Qi level was completely stabilized, the Green Lotus Core Flame was also integrated into Qin Yu's Battle Crystal.
Qin Yu could clearly feel that a new space seemed to have been opened up inside his Battle Crystal, and the seed of the Green Lotus Core Flame was lying quietly inside.
His cultivation level also jumped five levels, directly reaching the realm of Seven-Star Da Dou Shi.
The goal that Hu Gan Dean Hu had set for him was now far behind him!
It was only then that Qin Yu realized, somewhat bewildered, that he had essentially gained a Heavenly Flames for free.
He had no Blood Lotus Pill, no Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and no Naling.
In the original novel, Xiao Yan prepared a great deal of resources to subdue this Heavenly Flames.
But when it came to him, the Green Lotus Core Flame didn't need anything from him and just crawled in on its own.
Is this... a two-way journey between him and the Green Lotus Core Flame?
To be drawn together with a Heavenly Flames... If word got out, people would probably think I'm crazy.
No, it's more like they'll definitely think they're crazy!
Qin Yu shook his head, opened his eyes, and found himself enveloped by layers of lotus leaves from the Green Lotus Platform.
With a thought, the lotus leaves on the Green Lotus Platform slowly unfurled, leaving behind a barrier to protect Qin Yu.
"This thing... has recognized me as its master?"
Qin Yu looked down and discovered that the enormous blue lotus floating in the center of the void had changed at some point.
The lotus platform beneath his feet had detached from its roots, leaving only a bud with a tiny, slowly flickering blue flame on it.
This was probably a wisp of power left behind by the Green Lotus Core Flame before it merged into his body, used to form the next Green Lotus Core Flame.
However, we need to wait until this Green Lotus Core Flame takes shape...
Qin Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the lotus platform beneath his feet, attempting to control it to change its size.
The lotus platform spun a few times in the air before landing steadily in his palm. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, like jade.
In Qin Yu's hands, the lotus platform still emitted bursts of light, supporting the barrier around him.
This lotus platform is the mother body that nurtured the Green Lotus Core Flame. Now that the Green Lotus Core Flame has merged with Qin Yu, it has recognized its new master.
"And this too."
After unfolding the lotus platform again, Qin Yu sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes once more.
After fusing with the Green Lotus Core Flame, in addition to the increase in his Dou Qi level, Qin Yu gained another benefit.
He took a deep breath and tried to connect his mind with the Green Lotus Core Flame within his body.
The next moment, the surrounding space suddenly trembled, as if it were the prelude to a volcanic eruption.
However, this tremor only lasted for a moment before ending as Qin Yu opened his eyes.
He has made up his mind.
After merging with the Green Lotus Core Flame, the magma power beneath the desert will be completely at his command.
If Qin Yu were to cultivate alone and achieve the ability to independently manipulate underground magma, he would probably need to be at least at the Dou Emperor or even Dou Zong level!
But with the Green Lotus Core Flame, the magma beneath the Tagor Desert will also become part of his power!
Xiao Yan was possessed by Yao Lao, so this should be considered... Inviting Flame Possession?
"Phew... time to go."
Qin Yu looked around, still feeling a sense of absurdity.
If we follow this line of thought, wouldn't the Volcanic Rock Flame and the Turtle Spirit Earthfire, those two Heavenly Flames, also be affected by him?
Qin Yu unfolded the lotus platform and, while thinking, soared upwards.
