Fire Element Formation, Burning the Bloodline

In the blink of an eye, the tone changed completely.

Now, Duobao and the others were no longer discussing the Dao. Instead, they all looked toward Chen Yang.

With so many people watching him, Chen Yang did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he quietly cultivated.

[You comprehended Devour · World in the Palm, integrated it with the Five Elements Formation and numerous formation patterns, and gained insight into the Fire Element Formation of the Five Elements Formation.]

"Fire Element? Then Fire Element it is. I'll refine the Golden Crow blood essence, merge it into my heart, and evolve the Fire Element Formation."

Chen Yang murmured.

As he cried out inwardly, the Golden Crow blood essence that had been refined earlier flew into his body.

When they had first obtained the Golden Crow blood essence, Duobao had refined it once. He had purged the murderous aura and will contained within it, turning it into the purest Golden Crow blood essence—or rather, Fusang Tree essence.

That was right. To a certain extent, Golden Crow blood essence was the fruit of the Fusang Tree.

Now, blazing flames rose as golden fire wrapped around Chen Yang's entire body.

At that moment, Chen Yang's soul stirred. Guided by his primordial spirit, the Golden Crow blood essence surged into his heart.

The Golden Crow blood essence was incomparably scorching. Even the soul guiding it would be burned. This was therefore a painful process.

At that moment, Chen Yang's heart began to burn, and the flames spread through his blood to consume his entire body.

In Duobao's eyes, Chen Yang had now become a man of fire.

Hongyun stroked his beard and could not help saying, "Little Chen Yang is certainly fierce. He chose the Fire Element Formation first, using Golden Crow blood essence as the material. Under the guidance of his soul, he engraved the Fire Element Formation directly into his heart."

Zhenyuanzi pondered slightly. "This choice will also offer Chen Yang the greatest benefit in the future. Vital essence comes from the blood, and blood circulates through the heart. By condensing the Fire Element first, tempering the heart, and refining the blood, his vital essence will ultimately become increasingly pure."

As Chen Yang murmured, his heart gradually took the shape of a Golden Crow as the formation was inscribed.

That Golden Crow drew in and expelled spiritual energy. With every beat of Chen Yang's heart, it flowed into his bloodline. The Golden Crow followed the boiling blood through a full circuit before finally returning to his heart.

After several such cycles, the scorching heat continuously tempered Chen Yang's body.

In the end, the Golden Crow merged into Chen Yang's heart and became a tiny world.

Not only that, but changes also appeared within Chen Yang's Middle Dantian. It was like the opening of heaven and earth within pitch-black chaos, revealing something resembling a great sun.

Chen Yang knew that this was the prelude to his Middle Dantian evolving into a small world.

As he continued inscribing the Five Elements Formation, his Middle Dantian would continue to evolve. Once the five formations merged, his Middle Dantian would evolve into a small world.

Chen Yang pondered inwardly and continued circulating his immortal art, turning the Great Sun True Fire in his heart into a Three-Legged Golden Crow that flowed throughout his body along his blood vessels.

At that moment, the Great Sun True Fire surged into Chen Yang's bones and flesh, carrying away countless impurities.

After a long period of tempering, the Three-Legged Golden Crow finally transformed into a great sun, taking root within Chen Yang's heart and becoming a Fusang Tree.

Several hundred years later, Chen Yang gradually awakened.

At this moment, Chen Yang felt refreshed and brimming with vitality. Endless spiritual energy poured into him, raising his aura higher and higher.

"Master... I succeeded..." After waking, Chen Yang looked toward his master.

Duobao stroked his beard and laughed. "Not bad, not bad... You condensed the Fire Element and inscribed the improved Fire Element Grand Formation within your body. The impurities contained in your bloodline have now been completely cleared away. Under the burning of the Great Sun True Fire, your physical body has grown even stronger. Disciple... you have advanced another step!"

"Not only that. Looking at the formation Chen Yang inscribed, it seems to contain the Dao of Space and bears some resemblance to World in the Palm." Zhenyuanzi also asked about it.

What could Chen Yang say? He could only reply, "Senior Zhenyuanzi... as expected, I couldn't hide it from you. I transformed the divine ability World in the Palm that you created into a formation. Then I integrated that formation into the Five Elements, ultimately creating the Five Elements Spatial Formation. Therefore, the Fire Element Formation inscribed within my body also contains the Dao of Space, forming a formation space."

"Oh... the Fire Element Formation condenses a space, and the other four formations do the same. When linked together, they evolve into a small world?" Zhenyuanzi realized.

Chen Yang could only nod. "Senior Zhenyuanzi... you saw through everything. What else can I say?"

"Haha... Little Chen Yang, that is a good idea. Condensing a small world within the body is very creative. Keep working hard," Hongyun said with a laugh.

Chen Yang could only nod, not knowing what to say. They were all towering figures, and they had seen through every one of his little thoughts.

Of course, they had merely guessed what Chen Yang intended to do. They also knew that they themselves could not accomplish it.

After all, they each had their own path.

Time passed, and several hundred years went by.

By now, Chen Yang had stabilized his realm.

Breaking through to the Great Unity Realm made one a Great Unity Human Immortal. Now that he had inscribed the Fire Element Formation, he naturally stepped into the Great Unity Earth Immortal realm.

After Chen Yang stabilized his cultivation, Duobao prepared to leave. "Martial Uncle Zhenyuanzi, Martial Uncle Hongyun... master and disciple have stayed here for a thousand years. It is time for us to return."

"Oh, you are leaving already? Won't you wait until the next batch of Ginseng Fruit ripens?" Hongyun asked.

Duobao shook his head. "Martial Uncle Hongyun... there are many matters in the Jie Sect that need handling. We should leave first."

"That works as well. There are many trivial matters in the Jie Sect, so you should return. When you have free time, come gather here," Zhenyuanzi said, stroking his beard.

Duobao nodded. "Naturally. Also, Martial Uncle Hongyun, you should hurry as well. I am still waiting for you to become a Saint."

"Sigh... I am still confused. I do not know how to become a Saint. After all, I cannot become a Saint by spreading teachings," Hongyun said.

After chatting for a while, Duobao did not say much more, since he had no solution to the matter either.

Chen Yang did mention a few things, hoping Hongyun would be more careful. After all, Hongyun might very well be ambushed and killed.

However, Chen Yang's cultivation was not high, so Hongyun would not take his words too seriously.

Chen Yang could not state it openly either.

In the end, he could only leave Longevity Mountain with Duobao.

After leaving Longevity Mountain, Duobao did not hurry back to the Jie Sect. Instead, he took Chen Yang on a leisurely flight for several hundred years.

Over those centuries, Duobao took Chen Yang across the Primordial Wilderness, teaching him much common knowledge and revealing many secrets.

Chen Yang also witnessed the grandeur of the Primordial Wilderness and the slaughter of countless wild beasts, gaining a deeper impression of the Primordial World.

It had to be said that the Primordial World was magnificent and wondrous, but also extraordinarily dangerous.

Chen Yang had originally wanted to travel on his own for a while, but after seeing how dangerous the Primordial World was, he decided to return to the Jie Sect, cultivate for a time, and travel later.

Besides, he had already gathered all the materials he needed for cultivation. Once he entered seclusion and digested his accumulated foundations, he could travel again.

Time passed, and as the thousand-year mark approached, Duobao brought Chen Yang back to Golden Ao Island.

After arriving on Golden Ao Island, Duobao said, "Disciple... you have gained much from this journey and learned many things. From now on, remain on Golden Ao Island and cultivate. When you reach Great Luo, then go out and travel again."

Chen Yang nodded. "Yes, Master."

Duobao nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

Chen Yang also returned to his cave abode to digest the gains from this journey.
