Chapter 561: Primordial Fire Advancement

The canyon shook, the entire earth began to crack at this moment, and waves of fire rose continuously along the cracks.

In just over a dozen breaths, the temperature in the entire surrounding area rose by several degrees.

Lin Chen frowned, his figure landing directly at the canyon.

"Brothers of the Wan Huozong, I am Lin Chen of the Canglan Sect. This time, I was entrusted by your sect's Elder Du to come and understand what happened in the Sacred Fire Realm. Before coming, I already met your sect's brothers Zhang Qing and learned about the changes that occurred in the Sacred Fire Realm."

Lin Chen directly stated why he appeared in the Sacred Fire Realm, simply because he didn't want to waste time.

"Now that some change has occurred in the Sacred Fire Realm, you all should leave first."

At the canyon, the Wan Huozong disciples looked at each other, and finally, their gazes fell on the yellow-clothed young man at the front.

Lin Lin Shixiong Wang was the strongest among those who entered this time, and they had persisted until now under Lin Lin Shixiong Wang's leadership.

"Many thanks, Brother Lin."

Wang Chen cupped his hands in salute. At the moment, the four strands of Primordial Fire had been devoured by Lin Chen, but that didn't mean the crisis was resolved. Everyone had felt the earth-shaking tremors just now.

"Everyone, head toward the exit immediately. Do not linger in the Sacred Fire Realm."

Wang Chen looked at the other Junior Brothers beside him. One hundred people had entered this time, and over thirty had already sacrificed themselves. If these Junior Brothers also met with an accident, then their generation of the Wan Huozong could be considered completely wiped out.

Letting the Junior Brothers leave, Wang Chen himself did not leave, but walked toward Lin Chen, cupping his hands in salute again: "Many thanks, Brother Lin, for your help this time. If not for Brother Lin, the losses of my Wan Huozong this time would have been great."

Although Lin Chen was a few years younger than him, in the Martial Way, the elder comes first. This "Brother Lin" was called out very naturally by Wang Chen.

"Brother Wang is too polite. I was also entrusted by Elder Du."

Lin Chen smiled and waved his hand. Saving the Sacred Fire Realm disciples was a mere lift of a finger for him.

"Brother Lin should not be planning to exit now, right?"

Wang Chen looked at Lin Chen; this was a judgment he made from Lin Chen's perspective.

The Sacred Fire Realm only allows disciples of the sect to enter. Lin Chen was able to enter the Sacred Fire Realm because these disciples were trapped, and the Elders outside were worried about them, so they agreed to let Lin Chen in.

For Lin Chen, the opportunity to enter the Sacred Fire Realm only comes once.

For them, the Wan Huozong disciples, the changes in the Sacred Fire Realm meant that for every moment they stayed here, there was a risk of losing their lives. But Lin Chen likely didn't think so.

Those four strands of Primordial Fire, which were impossible for them to resist, couldn't even last three breaths in Lin Chen's hands. This kind of change was nothing at all. If he were Lin Chen, he would never leave so easily.

Wang Chen knew that Lin Chen had also refined Primordial Fire, and the flame Lin Chen flicked out just now was Primordial Fire. He couldn't recognize which kind of Primordial Fire it was; he figured it was a fusion of several kinds of Primordial Fire.

If Lin Chen wanted to increase the power of his Primordial Fire, he would need Fire Source Beads, and the Sacred Fire Realm was the best place.

The Primordial Fire riot was a disaster for him and the other Junior Brothers, but for Lin Chen, it was an opportunity. Those fire spirits, in order to prevent being devoured by other Primordial Fire, had all come out from underground or rock nests. The probability of capturing fire dragons to obtain Fire Source Beads had also greatly increased.

"I will stay in the Sacred Fire Realm for another period of time."

Facing Wang Chen's inquiry, Lin Chen didn't hide anything. Having finally gotten in, how could he just leave like this?

The actual power of those four strands of Primordial Fire just now was only equivalent to the early stage of the Fourth Stage of the Martial Way, which was nothing at all to him.

It was a fatal danger to the Wan Huozong disciples, but only a small trouble to him.

And after devouring these four strands of Primordial Fire, he could clearly feel the growth of his own Primordial Fire. The more such Primordial Fire, the better; it saved him from having to collect Fire Source Beads.

"If Brother Lin wants to stay here, you must be careful. The roaring sound just now could trigger earth tremors; it is highly likely that a super Primordial Fire has awakened."

The reason Wang Chen asked whether Lin Chen intended to stay here was for the sake of what he was about to say next.

"The four strands of Primordial Fire that Brother Lin extinguished are a bit special. They shouldn't be truly autonomous Primordial Fire, but controlled by a higher-level Primordial Fire. Otherwise, these four strands of Primordial Fire couldn't possibly not devour each other."

During the months he was trapped, Wang Chen had also been thinking, and the conclusion he reached was that there was a more powerful Primordial Fire behind these four strands.

But he didn't tell the other Junior Brothers about this speculation; he was afraid that if he told them, these Junior Brothers would lose the will to survive. If even the last will to survive was gone, they wouldn't have been able to persist for so long.

"Originally, I was only guessing, but after Brother Lin extinguished these four strands of Primordial Fire just now, a roaring sound came, which proved my speculation was correct."

Wang Chen looked at Lin Chen with burning eyes, explaining his analysis in detail. As for how Lin Chen decided, that was Lin Chen's own business.

"Many thanks, Brother Wang, for telling me this."

Lin Chen expressed his gratitude to Wang Chen. When that roaring sound appeared just now, he actually had similar speculations, but he wasn't 100% sure. Wang Chen had been trapped here for months, possessed more information, and reached a more accurate judgment.

But even so, he didn't intend to go out so easily.

"Brother Lin, take care!"

Seeing that Lin Chen only thanked him, Wang Chen knew that Lin Chen still intended to stay here.

Wang Chen left, but before leaving, he gave Lin Chen a jade slip. Lin Chen put his spiritual sense into it, and after a long while, there was a sharp light in his eyes.

This jade slip was a map of the Sacred Fire Realm, with red-lined areas and yellow-lined areas.

The yellow-lined areas were the areas explored by disciples who had entered the Sacred Fire Realm in previous years, while the red-lined areas were the areas explored by Wang Chen and his group.

The two areas had overlapping and non-overlapping parts. Lin Chen determined the positions he had traveled on the map according to the direction he came from, and after comparison, found that most of the terrain in these areas was similar to what was marked on the map, with only a small part showing changes.

If it only marked the terrain, this map wouldn't be of much use. What made Lin Chen happy was that this map also marked the locations of some Primordial Fire.

These were all explored by Wan Huozong disciples from previous years. These Primordial Fire were very strong and not something they could refine. Choosing to mark them down was also to give a reminder to the disciples who entered later to avoid the areas where these Primordial Fire were located.

The Sacred Fire Realm opens once every thirty years. This time is quite long for a martial artist, but not long for Primordial Fire. Many Primordial Fire sleep for several thirty-year periods before waking up, so even if there are changes, the changes won't be too great. ===== CHAPTER 562 =====
