Buzzz!
The Daoheart Lotus Embryo emerged from his brow. On the surface of the crystalline, jade-like lotus embryo, its six tightly closed petals trembled in unison at this moment.
Starting from the lotus embryo's roots, it was as though something had been awakened.
Immediately afterward, a blinding crimson radiance exploded from the Fire Spiritual Root, illuminating the entire sea of qi into a scorching ocean.
Massive amounts of Fire Qi surged in. Guided by the Daoheart Lotus Embryo, it flowed through his meridians, "igniting" every limb and bone in Xu Changqing's body, until his entire person glowed from within.
Within thirty feet around him, crimson firelight, yellow-brown Earth Qi, pitch-black heavy water, and emerald vitality formed an unprecedented domain around him.
Wood lay behind him, earth to his left, water to his right, and fire directly ahead.
The lights of the four Laws reflected one another, illuminating the gray plain as brightly as day.
At the same time, an exceedingly slender golden flame, so pure it made one's heart tremble, emerged from the depths of the Fire Spiritual Root.
Xu Changqing stared in astonishment. "This is Nirvana Heartfire?!"
It was only the size of a fingertip, golden throughout, shaped like a lotus petal that had yet to fully bloom. Its edges radiated a gentle glow that was almost warm.
It possessed neither searing heat nor the tyrannical force to destroy all things. It simply wound quietly around the Fire Spiritual Root like a lit oil lamp.
Yet what burned within that lamp was Origin Fire, enough to burn away all impurities and cleanse every foulness.
Nirvana Heartfire, the source of all flames.
Unextinguished by bathing in fire, it burned away karma.
The heartfire merged into his heart.
A warm current spread through his blood vessels toward his limbs and bones.
