Chapter 1485: Chapter 1485: Fiery Fire Venerable
Looking at the various mysterious cultivation techniques of using flames within the Fire Control Technique, Lin Chen was deeply shocked. With the addition of this Fire Control Technique, the Blue Lotus Divine Flame in his hands would surely be able to unleash even greater power in the future.
Moreover, this Divine Fire Annihilation Sword Formation is a powerful killing move that combines the Fire Control Technique with a sword formation, its power boundless.
This Divine Fire Annihilation Sword Formation, consisting of three layers, once mastered, its power is definitely not inferior to the Seven Killings Sword Array. It could even be stronger than the Sixth Layer of the Seven Killings Sword Array that Lin Chen currently masters.
Looking at this Divine Fire Seven Killings Sword Formation, an idea emerged in Lin Chen’s mind. If this sword formation aims to integrate the Fire Control Technique and Sword Array, then on the basis of this Sword Array, merging the Seven Killings Sword Array that Lin Chen is proficient in might make its power even greater.
However, integrating cultivation techniques and martial skills requires a certain amount of time, and Lin Chen currently doesn’t have the time to do so, so he can only postpone it for later.
In the last bamboo scroll of the three, the Fiery Fire Sword Technique, is a type of fire manipulation swordsmanship, divided into seven levels. When cultivated to the highest realm, a single Sword Qi can Burn the Heavens and Boil the Sea, the power is astonishing.
This swordsmanship is, as far as Lin Chen has seen among all swordsmanship, the most exquisite and profoundly powerful.
This swordsmanship is truly profound. Lin Chen has yet to truly start cultivating it, having only skimmed through it, he got some inspiration, and his Sword Intent improved a lot. He also gained new insights into his own Thunderfire Sword Technique.
Lin Chen only briefly skimmed through the first three bamboo scrolls without deliberately cultivating or studying them, then finally focused his gaze on that Jade Slip.
Inside the Jade Slip was not any martial arts, but some descriptions about the owner of this cave dwelling.
Lin Chen’s Divine Soul delved into the Jade Slip, beginning to read the records within.
From the information in the Jade Slip, Lin Chen learned that the owner of this cave dwelling, named Fiery Fire Venerable, was indeed a powerful individual at the Peak of the Creation Realm.
This ancient ruin is actually a continent even wider than the Mysterious Heaven Continent, named Tianliu Continent.
The information recorded in the Jade Slip revealed that the martial artists of Tianliu Continent are much stronger than the powerful ones on Mysterious Heaven Continent, and their numbers are several times greater.
Back then, Fiery Fire Venerable, while traveling through Tianliu Continent, accidentally discovered this island ahead and found the Yang Flame Divine Fire. At that time, the Yang Flame Divine Fire was just a small flame, not having grown to its current power.
It should be known, according to the Jade Slip records, that from the time when Fiery Fire Venerable discovered the Yang Flame Divine Fire until now, it has been tens of thousands of years, no wonder the Yang Flame Divine Fire could grow from a mere Divine Fire Flame to its current state.
However, this Fire Sea existed from the start, it wasn’t created by the Yang Flame Divine Fire.
In other words, the entire process of nurturing the Yang Flame Divine Fire was due to this Fire Sea. Besides discovering the small flame of the Yang Flame Divine Fire, Fiery Fire Venerable also found a whole vein of Flame Crystal Stone.
It’s worth noting that it was an entire vein of Flame Crystal Stone. Fiery Fire Venerable was extremely excited, so he stayed there, searching for countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and spent all his possessions trying to create an Innate Divine Artifact using these Flame Crystal Stones.
Ultimately, to his disappointment, all his painstaking efforts resulted in creating only a Sword Embryo, not an Innate Divine Artifact, and it was only a Half-step Innate Sword Embryo, not a truly complete Sword Embryo.
Fiery Fire Venerable naturally was not resigned to stopping there, so he laid down a Great Formation to extract the Fire Sea’s essence, trying to absorb the power of the flames from the Fire Sea, to help the Half-step Innate Sword Embryo grow into a complete Innate Sword Embryo.
It should be known, even though a Half-step Innate Sword Embryo and an Innate Sword Embryo are only half a step apart, the power between them is a world apart.
After Fiery Fire Venerable finished crafting that Innate Sword Embryo, some materials and Flame Crystal Stone were left behind, so he created another thirty-one Seventh-Rank High-Grade Flying Swords, forming a Sword Array using the Fire Sea’s might, transforming this place into a powerful forbidden zone, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to enter and seize the Innate Sword Embryo.
And to wait for the Half-step Innate Sword Embryo’s evolution, Fiery Fire Venerable even dug out a simple cave dwelling beneath this Fire Sea, entering seclusion for cultivation here.
However, after doing all this, the Tianliu Continent faced a great catastrophe.
Fiery Fire Venerable at that time went out to deal with this catastrophe but sustained severe injuries, and eventually fled back here, healing and in seclusion, while continuing to wait for the Half-step Innate Sword Embryo to take shape.
Yet, who would have thought that after returning here, due to his severe injuries, Fiery Fire Venerable would ultimately perish in this cave dwelling.
In the moment of his demise, Fiery Fire Venerable’s heart was filled with unwillingness, leaving behind a Remnant Soul, residing within the Jade Slip, until Lin Chen’s arrival awakened it, knowing that after awakening, it would dissipate forever.
After reading the information from the Jade Slip, Lin Chen let out a long sigh, realizing that the path of Cultivation is fraught with danger, a slight error leading to instant annihilation.
Fiery Fire Venerable exhausted his efforts creating such a Divine Artifact, yet ultimately could not enjoy or witness it.
"Rest assured, senior, since I’ve gained this opportunity, I will make sure your painstaking efforts flourish and are not buried," Lin Chen said slowly.
As of now, Lin Chen is unable to take out those Flying Swords and the Innate Sword Embryo, but knowing this place, he would return once his cultivation improves, or when he lights up the Star Map within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, to retrieve them.
Lin Chen waved his hand, putting away the three bamboo scrolls and the Jade Slip, then took out the Spatial Treasure from Fiery Fire Venerable’s skeleton.
Holding the Space Ring in his hand, Lin Chen felt a bit excited, eager to know what powerful treasures are hidden in the Spatial Ring of a Creation Realm Peak powerhouse.
Fiery Fire Venerable passed away tens of thousands of years ago, and the Divine Soul Imprint on the Spatial Ring had long faded, so Lin Chen didn’t need to wipe it away with his Divine Soul, easily probing his Divine Soul into it.
However, when Lin Chen’s Divine Soul explored it, he was greatly disappointed, as the contents of Fiery Fire Venerable’s Spatial Treasure fell far short of his expectations.
The space within the Spatial Ring was large, but inside there wasn’t much, only a fiery red treasure armor, a damaged Seventh Rank Sword, and a million Low-grade Spirit Crystals.
