Three years later, in the Cultivation Room of the cave abode on Colorful Lotus Mountain.
Liu Yu sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his expression tranquil as he forgot both himself and the world. His face alternated between azure and red, the two colors of light shifting incessantly.
An unknown length of time passed. Seemingly reaching a critical point in his cultivation, he furrowed his brows slightly, and a fine layer of sweat began to bead on his skin.
Suddenly, the azure and red light vanished, and he opened his eyes. Beneath his lashes, his pupils were black as ink, and a trace of delight shone unmistakably in his gaze.
After two years, I've finally mastered the Azure Yang Demonic Flame!
Liu Yu sighed inwardly. Cultivating a divine ability was truly no easy task. He did not know whether his aptitude was to blame, but it had taken him two whole years just to achieve initial mastery of the Azure Yang Demonic Flame.
With a thought, he employed the Inner-Viewing Method, bringing the state of his dantian fully into view.
At the bottom of his dantian lay a small lake. Its waters were pale azure, exquisitely beautiful and clear to the bottom. Above the lake, at the center of his dantian, a pale azure flame the size of an egg flickered slowly.
It was none other than the Azure Yang Demonic Flame he had spent two years cultivating!
According to the cultivation art's description, the Azure Yang Demonic Flame had endless wondrous uses. Not only could it perform Demon Fire Refining Essence to purify his mana, but it was also immensely powerful when used against enemies.
Liu Yu had tested it. Even a superior-grade magical artifact would lose all its spiritual radiance and exhaust its spiritual energy under prolonged exposure
