The mass of Heavenly Refining Fire slowly burned and coalesced, gathering the flames below it bit by bit. It grew larger and more imposing, already surpassing any mass of Heavenly Refining Fire Huo Hai had ever seen.
"Every time Heavenly Refining Fire begins to coalesce, it takes a month to fully emerge. Only on the final day can it truly take shape, so hurry and do whatever you need to do now. Search the surrounding area. You might still find some smaller wisps of Heavenly Refining Fire." An old man spoke slowly to the people around him.
Some of those nearby took his advice and left to search the surrounding area for the time being. Others paid him no heed at all. In many people's eyes, there was nothing but that enormous mass of Heavenly Refining Fire.
If they could obtain such a huge mass, even the bottleneck barring their way to the Peak Spirit Saint level might be broken clean through. Of course, that was merely what many of them imagined. How could the bottleneck to the Peak Spirit Saint level be so easy to break?
Heavenly Refining Fire could break bottlenecks, but it was not without limits. Every power in this world had its own limits. The Ninth-Heaven Spirit Saint level was essentially its limit, and breaking the bottleneck to the Tenth Heaven was no easy feat. The few Ninth Heaven experts who had come here were fighting for precisely that slender chance.
