Xiao Yan jumped into the deep pool. Instead of extinguishing the flames in his dantian, he was still stubbornly provoking and trying to resist.
Although I haven't hit my ex-girlfriend on the face yet, if I can die for the sake of the world, then I will have no regrets in this life.
"No, you can't do this. You are still young, so don't get confused!"
"Huh?"
Xiao Yan was not afraid at all. He held his breath and waited quietly in the pool for Heavenly Fire to go out.
Why hold your breath?
He is not stupid, of course he wants to live if he can avoid death.
What if the cold pond water could extinguish Heavenly Fire, then wouldn't he need to die?
That's why he held his breath, hoping for a glimmer of hope.
But if you can't do it, let's die together.
Fortunately, just now, his cultivation level has reached Fourth-Rank Realm.
Fourth Rank cultivation is enough to allow him to hold his breath for an hour or two without dying.
"Oh, don't be so pessimistic. I don't have to take revenge on the people. Why do I have to live or die?"
"Let me go, just like I let you go, okay?"
"You still have a lot of time in your life, and there are still many wonderful things that you have not experienced. It is not worth it to die with me."
Heavenly Fire is like a bastard, he keeps bewitching Xiao Yan.
But his bewitchment is feeble and has no effect on people like Xiao Yan who have read the books of sages.
The cold pool water enveloped Xiao Yan, and the biting cold kept eroding him, but the ball of Heavenly Fire in his Dantian was still beating tenaciously, releasing warmth to resist the cold air, and at the same time intensifying the consumption of Xiao Yan True Qi.
Xiao Yan held his breath, but his mind was extremely clear. He suddenly remembered a Confucian saying.
If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
He thought that he was going to die anyway. Before he died, he could understand what Heavenly Fire was, which would be considered as fulfilling the sage's words.
Xiao Yan looked inside his Dantian and said to the flame, "Before I die, can you answer a few questions for me?"
"What, you don't want to die?"
Xiao Yan shook his head, "That's not true. Who are you? What is the real Heavenly Fire?"
Heavenly Fire seemed to have not spoken to each other for many years. He wanted to talk to someone, and his tone was a little arrogant. "Huh, it doesn't hurt to tell you!"
I am the origin of the first flame born when the world first opened!
Contains the fire essence of creation, eternal and immortal!"
"It sounds very high-end." Xiao Yan said.
Heavenly Fire After hearing this, he was proud and proud, "That old guy just discovered my existence by luck, so he wants to forcibly refine me and take it for himself. What a wishful thinking!"
Xiao Yan was moved in his heart and asked again, "Old Man Heavenly Fire... Did he call you this name before he got you, or did he change his name to Old Man Heavenly Fire after he caught you?"
Heavenly Fire obviously paused, and then said with feigned disdain, "What's the difference? It's just a code name. Of course he coveted my power, so he called himself Heavenly Fire. It's ridiculous!"
Huh?
Xiao Yan was stunned, and he keenly realized that if Old Man Heavenly Fire changed its name after it was captured, then the message on the stone tablet should have been engraved after the name was changed, and it would definitely use the new name.
But the tone on the stone tablet was more like a strong man who had already become famous and had a fixed code name explaining his funeral affairs.
It's like, your surname is Kobe. When you come back and play basketball very well, you are called Black Mamba.
When he introduces himself to others, he should call himself Kobe instead of calling himself Black Mamba to everyone.
But if he has been called Black Mamba since he was a child, then there is nothing wrong with him calling himself that.
Moreover, would a person who captured it tell its identity as the first ray of fire in the world and the origin of its name Heavenly Fire so clearly to those who were about to be killed by it?
This is unreasonable, and more like deliberately emphasizing his extraordinary origin in order to intimidate the other party.
Xiao Yan remained calm and continued to ask, "You said that you are the flame that opened in the beginning of the world and will never be extinguished. Then why were you found and sealed by Old Man Heavenly Fire?
And why, after thousands of years, have I become so weak that I need to rely on my meager internal strength to recover?"
"Hmph! If I hadn't been... when I was in the weak stage of Nirvana, how could I have been taken advantage of by that old man?
As for now... having been wasted for thousands of years by this damn cold pool and seal, no matter how powerful an existence is, it will weaken!
Xiaosha, what do you know!"
Xiao Yan sneered in his heart, there were more doubts.
Nirvana and reincarnation?
It sounds more like a property of some kind of creature than a purely conceptual fire.
While silently calculating the limit of his breath holding, he felt the changes in his body. True Qi was still growing slowly under the catalysis of Heavenly Fire, and was already close to Middle Fourth Rank, but he did not feel the lack of energy or blood or hunger at all!
This is the biggest loophole!
Warriors are not cultivators.
A cultivator is a person who absorbs the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, turns it into mana, and nourishes himself.
When warriors practice True Qi, they get it from refining their own essence, energy, spirit and the power of food and medicine.
Although the law of conservation of energy has not yet appeared in this world, the basic theory Xiao Yan knows it.
With such a rapid increase in True Qi, it stands to reason that I should have sucked myself off, or at least felt strong weakness and hunger.
But now, apart from the swelling and pain in his meridians, his physical condition is surprisingly good!
These True Qi are like trees without roots and water without sources!
Could it be that his own flesh and blood contains infinite energy.
Just like Sun Wukong in Journey to the West written by the dean, it is itself a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi storage tank, so it only takes three years of training with Patriarch Bodhi to cause trouble in heaven.
When Sun Wukong was still Shitou, he absorbed the essence of heaven and earth every day. It was there from the beginning of heaven and earth until he popped out, so his body had so much Spiritual Qi available.
And my mother did not give birth to me since the beginning of the world, and I have never taken any powerful elixir to increase my internal strength.
How can there be so much energy growth True Qi?
A bold guess formed in Xiao Yan's mind.
He turned True Qi violently, no longer trying to suppress it, but took the initiative to guide the skyrocketing True Qi to rush towards several secondary meridians, making a gesture of fighting to the death and dying together. At the same time, his mind roared, "No matter who you are! Let's die together!"
Heavenly Fire Otherwise, he panicked and his voice became shrill. "Stop, idiot, stop quickly, why the hell are you crazy?"
That's it now!
Xiao Yan took advantage of the opponent's confusion and suddenly cut off the operation of True Qi. He kicked off his legs and quickly surfaced from the water. He climbed back onto the stone slab of the cave, coughed violently and spat out a few mouthfuls of water.
Heavenly Fire was shocked and angry, full of confusion. "No, you... why did you come up... aren't you going to die together?"
Xiao Yan wiped some water from his face, sat down cross-legged, and while doing some exercises to steam his clothes, he responded coldly in his mind, his tone full of determination and ridicule. "Why should I die?"
I was almost deceived by you, Old Man Heavenly Fire...
In other words, the remaining soul of Old Man Heavenly Fire!"
The voice in his mind froze for an instant, and then became gloomy and distorted, with a sense of panic after being caught. "... you... what did you say?"
How could I be Old Man Heavenly Fire? I am Heavenly Fire.
He is already dead. How can a dead person talk and communicate with you in your body?
Young man, feudal superstition is a must!"
Xiao Yan sneered, stood up, and said while strolling:
"First, according to historical legends, there has never been a record of the first ray of fire in heaven and earth.
It is impossible for such a divine object to be without traces.
You are so powerful, even if history books don't record it, myths and legends will always have information about you, right?
Unfortunately, no!"
Heavenly Fire:"..."
"Second, your explanation of the name is full of loopholes.
The message on the slate is calm and timeless. It is the final work of a senior master. How could he use a temporary name?
You deliberately emphasize the name and origin of Heavenly Fire, but it seems to be trying to hide it!"
Heavenly Fire: Do you want to be so smart?
"Third, and the most important!" Xiao Yan felt True Qi who was still full but without any foundation in his body, "Martial arts True Qi comes from one's own energy, blood and essence. My cultivation level has skyrocketed like this, but my body has not lost half of it. This is completely contrary to common sense!
These True Qi are not catalyzed by you at all, but you, who are using your cultivation to transform my body and replenish my True Qi.
Your fundamental purpose is to seize me.
These True Qi are all your cultivation during your lifetime, right?"
His eyes were like a torch, as if he could see through the dancing flames in his Dantian: "First Grade masters can live for thousands of years, and even have the ability to regenerate their severed limbs.
And according to legend, it is not impossible to surpass First Grade and have an immortal soul.
You are not Heavenly Fire at all, you are Old Man Heavenly Fire!
Your physical body is sitting here, but a trace of your remaining soul is still intact. It is attached to the most powerful Heavenly Fire True Qi origin in your lifetime, disguised as the so-called Heavenly Fire, and deceives those who come after you!
The so-called "taking out Heavenly Fire" on the stone slab and placing it in the cold pool is probably a trap left by you. Once someone tries to touch your Dantian, your remnant soul and all your cultivation will be invaded!"
At this moment, Xiao Yan was like a long-famous True Detective, saying their famous saying: The scheming frog keeps touching your belly!
The voice in his mind was silent for a moment, and finally stopped pretending and let out an old and sinister laugh, "Haha... hahahaha... what a smart little baby!"
Unexpectedly, after waiting for thousands of years, the person who waited was not a greedy fool, but a thoughtful little monster!
Yes, I am none other than Old Man Heavenly Fire!"
Now that it has been discovered, Old Man Heavenly Fire's remnant soul no longer hides it. "What a pity, so what if you know? You have introduced my remnant soul into your body. This young, energetic body is just the cauldron for my return to the world!"
Your consciousness, just dissipate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan felt a sharp pain in his mind, and a powerful and ancient spiritual power surged in like a tide, trying to swallow up his consciousness.
At first, he wanted to trick Xiao Yan into committing suicide, but he took over the body and resurrected his body.
Now that he has been discovered, he can only fight head-on.
I wanted to get drunk and then do that.
It's a pity that before I could take off my pants, I woke up from alcohol... Cah!
"Want to seize the body? It's not that easy!"
Xiao Yan roared angrily and guarded the mourning platform during the Qingming Festival.
Although he does not have a special method for cultivating spiritual power, he has experienced being dumped by his girlfriend, abandoning literature and embracing martial arts, as well as Nine Yang Divine Skill Zhiyang Zhigang, which has restrained him from the evil spirits and struggled to hold on to his position.
"My body is my decision! Get out!"
An extremely dangerous spiritual battle unfolds in the sea of consciousness of Xiao Yan.
Old Man Heavenly Fire's remnant soul is powerful, but after thousands of years of wear and tear, it is already at the end of its power.
And Xiao Yan has a firm will and is protected by Nine Yang True Qi, like a rock that stands firm in the stormy waves.
Old Man Heavenly Fire controls True Qi, running around in Xiao Yan's body.
"My body, that's my body! Boy, die, die, die!"
"Impossible, don't even think about it!"
"Hahahaha..."
"Yeah yeah!"
On one side is endless offense, on the other side is desperate defense.
I don't know how long it took, but the old roar and erosion in my mind gradually weakened, and finally turned into a wail full of unwillingness, and completely dissipated.
Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of energy. He successfully wiped out the remaining soul of Old Man Heavenly Fire!
And as the remnant soul dissipated, the ball of Heavenly Fire that was originally beating in his dantian also lost its spirituality and turned into an extremely pure, sun-heated source of cultivation. Like a warm tide, it instantly blended into his limbs and meridians in his dantian.
Old Man Heavenly Fire has spent his whole life cultivating, and still has to wait for Xiao Yan to develop it himself.
Xiao Yan's cultivation level began to rise steadily, Middle Fifth Rank, Late Fifth Rank, Peak Fifth Rank...
Finally stabilized in the realm of Early Fourth Rank!
And the foundation is extremely solid, without any sense of frivolity!
He felt the surging True Qi in his body, as well as some scattered memory fragments about the use of flames and martial arts insights in his mind, and let out a long sigh of relief.
A near-death encounter is a blessing in disguise.
Xiao Yan stood up weakly and solemnly saluted the mummy on the stone bed.
Regardless of whether the predecessors were good or evil during their lifetime, they have all returned to dust and dust to dust at this moment.
I have received all his skills, so he can be considered half of my teacher.
Otherwise, scholars are so pedantic.
If Zhang Qingyuan is here, his ashes will be raised.
The next second, Xiao Yan, who was listless, felt his energy dwindle and fell to the ground.
Before he fell into coma, he seemed to see an anxious figure near the pool.
"Dean?"
At this moment, he felt a long-lost sense of security.
The dean actually came down to look for me.
Still so worried about me.
Zhang Qingyuan came ashore and ran up to Xiao Yan when he saw him unconscious.
What opportunity?
Leave some for me.
You are still young, you can't control it!
