Chapter 351

Placed on the floating island, Hua Changxi's body, from head to toe, from inside to outside, felt a comfort she had never experienced before. This comfort was like the warmth of a spark throwing itself into the mother body of a flame.

The fire spiritual energy on the island was so dense and pure that she had never felt anything like it.

Although she didn't have much experience in training, she considered the places of fire spiritual energy she had set foot in to be not bad at all, whether it was Mount Wuzhi, the Lingguang Palace, or the Tang Gu of the Artifact Saint Palace; the fire spiritual energy in every place was very dense.

But compared to the one on the island, it was still a cut below.

Hua Changxi looked at the red stones under her feet, and then looked at the red jade gate memorial archway engraved with the three characters 'Fire Spring Palace'.

Whether it was the red stones that made up the island or the red jade that built the gate memorial archway, the fire spiritual power contained within was denser and purer than even top-grade fire spirit stones.

Hua Changxi picked up a red stone from the ground and held it in her hand to feel it.

A top-grade fire spirit stone contained about 1000 points of fire spiritual power; while this red stone in her hand contained nearly ten thousand points of fire spiritual power.

What did this mean?

It meant that the quality of this island was better than even a top-grade fire spirit mine.

And there were twelve such islands in total.

Hua Changxi took a deep breath. Coming to this territory, even if there were no other gains, just taking down these twelve islands that far exceeded top-grade fire spirit mines would be enough to rank her among the wealthy.

Hua Changxi looked at the magnificent palace behind the gate memorial archway, intending to go in and explore the situation.

However, when she walked under the gate memorial archway, she was blocked by an invisible barrier.

Can't enter?!

Hua Changxi was stunned at first, but soon returned to calm. She thought of the scenes of suffering from restriction suppression and lifting restrictions when exploring the Xuanyuan Prefecture.

Perhaps to enter and exit the Fire Spring Palace, one also needed to find an identity credential similar to the 'Xuanyuan Order' to pass through the gate memorial archway freely?

Hua Changxi withdrew her attention from the Fire Spring Palace behind the gate memorial archway and turned to other parts of the island. Soon, she discovered a red stone tablet on the right side of the gate memorial archway.

There was nothing on the stone tablet. Hua Changxi did not dare to be careless. She first outputted spiritual energy to investigate, and seeing no reaction, she released her divine sense to investigate.

As soon as her divine sense touched the stone tablet, in an instant, her mind was stuffed with countless pieces of information.

"Virtue is complete, fire can prove the Dao."

"The first Fire Spring Palace Master, Mu Qinghuang, Daoist Lord of Light."

?

"The 9,998th Fire Spring Palace Master, Su Qingcang, Daoist Lord of Pure Fire."

After reading the information in the stone tablet, Hua Changxi was a bit discouraged. All the Fire Spring Palace Masters were Dao-merging powerhouses.

She thought that since she could come to this territory, this territory was her opportunity, and the next Fire Spring Palace Master should be her.

But looking at it now, she was a bit unqualified!

Hua Changxi moved away from the stone tablet in disappointment, wanting to go to other parts of the island to see, but the territory outside the gate memorial archway was very limited, and the main area of the island was all behind the gate memorial archway.

"Forget it, let's go to other islands to see."

Hua Changxi flew off the central island and headed toward the nearest island. However, this time, she was actually unable to land on the island.

Hua Changxi didn't believe in evil and flew toward other islands. In the end, she visited all eleven islands, but there wasn't a single island she could land on.

Unable to do anything, Hua Changxi returned to the central island, pondered for a while, walked to the stone tablet again, and probed it with her divine sense again.

Of the twelve floating islands, only this stone tablet revealed some information. She wanted to see again to see if there was any information she had overlooked.

Unfortunately, there was no other information in the stone tablet; it was all the names and Dao titles of the past Fire Spring Palace Masters.

"Hmm?"

When Hua Changxi probed the stone tablet with her divine sense for the third time, she noticed the first sentence transmitted by the stone tablet: Virtue is complete, fire can prove the Dao.

"Fire can prove the Dao..."

"Prove the Dao?"

"Light, Pure Fire, Controlling Thunder, Nirvana..."

Hua Changxi silently recited the Dao titles of the various Palace Masters, and her eyes slowly brightened. These Dao titles felt like some kind of fire-type divine ability.

After pondering for a moment, Hua Changxi condensed a karmic fire red lotus in her palm.

The next moment, she threw the karmic fire red lotus at the stone tablet.

As soon as the karmic fire red lotus approached, the stone tablet emitted a bright light and swallowed it. Immediately after, the stone tablet flickered, and after a few times, a line of text appeared on the stone tablet: Virtue is insufficient.

Looking at the words on the stone tablet, Hua Changxi was stunned. Could a karmic fire red lotus judge her virtue?

"Virtue..."

Hua Changxi did not expect that cultivation would also require examining a person's virtue.

Did she have virtue?

Hua Changxi herself could not answer this question. At this moment, she was focused on passing through the 'Fire Spring Palace' gate memorial archway, so she didn't think much about this question.

The karmic fire red lotus could make the stone tablet react, which showed that her idea was correct.

The previous Fire Spring Palace Masters all relied on cultivating some kind of fire-type divine ability to achieve their own Dao fruit.

This discovery made Hua Changxi happy. Although she was still just a Nascent Soul cultivator, being able to glimpse a trace of the opportunity to achieve the Dao was undoubtedly a huge gain.

Since the karmic fire red lotus failed, Hua Changxi used the Ten Thousand Fires Facing the Ancestor divine ability, used the divine ability to condense a ball of flame, and threw it at the stone tablet.

This time, after the stone tablet swallowed the flame, it flickered for a longer time.

The stone tablet stopped flickering, and text immediately appeared.

"Who is the visitor?"

Hua Changxi was truly a bit surprised when she saw this, but she still quickly used her divine sense to transmit her name into the stone tablet.

Immediately after, the stone tablet revealed a line of text.

"Ten Thousand Fires Facing the Ancestor, inheriting the shade of Zhu Que, Nascent Soul stage cultivator Hua Changxi is the 9,999th Fire Spring Palace Master, for a term of one hundred years."

After this line of text appeared, Hua Changxi saw a fire jade seal shaped like a waterfall fly out from the stone tablet and sink directly into the center of her eyebrows.

At the same time, all information about the Nine Heavens Fire Spring was transmitted into her mind.

For example, the source of the fire spring was located in the Fire Lotus Pool behind the South Heaven Gate of the First Heaven. It was only because Emperor Zhu Que accidentally hooked and broke a small hole in the bottom of the Fire Lotus Pool while fishing that this Nine Heavens Fire Spring fell into the human world.

Also, for example, the red stones that made up the islands were not spirit stones, but spirit marrow stones, and the memorial archway was built of spirit marrow jade.

Spirit marrow mines were a higher-level cultivation ore than spirit stone mines, containing denser and purer spiritual power.

What Hua Changxi cared about most was that the Fire Spring Palace Master had to obey the orders of the South Xiangcheng Lord. As long as the Zhu Que Army had a need, she had to allow the Zhu Que Army to enter the Nine Heavens Fire Spring for body-refining.

Hua Changxi felt a bit emotional. The master of the twelve blessed lands of South Xiangcheng had to obey the South Xiangcheng Lord. Her previous guess had actually come true.

The Karmic Fire Platform and the Nine Heavens Fire Spring, these eleven blessed lands, were all training grounds and supply points for the Zhu Que Army!

Hua Changxi's mood was still a bit complicated; she had actually become the Fire Spring Palace Master by inheriting the shade of Zhu Que.

The benefits brought to her by that drop of Zhu Que essence blood given by Great Elder Yi Ming were even greater than she had imagined.

Having obtained the Nine Heavens Fire Spring Seal, for the next hundred years, the Nine Heavens Fire Spring was considered to be under Hua Changxi's management.

Hua Changxi strode toward the 'Fire Spring Palace' gate memorial archway. This time, there was no obstruction, and she passed through very easily.

The Fire Spring Palace was not built very high. Except for the main hall facing the gate memorial archway, which was nine stories high, other buildings and halls were all below nine stories. Between the buildings and palaces were long corridors connected to long corridors, interspersed with pools, rockeries, gardens, and other sections.

Compared to the dilapidation of the Sacred Land and the Xuanyuan Prefecture, the Fire Spring Palace did not suffer serious damage.

It was not because the Fire Spring Palace did not suffer attacks from the outside, but because the fire marrow jade that built the Fire Spring Palace could automatically absorb the fire spiritual energy in the fire spring. From ancient times to the present, in the endless years, it had long since repaired the damaged places.

"What is that?"

Hua Changxi wandered to the back of the Fire Spring Palace and saw a high platform. The height of the high platform actually exceeded the main hall.

"Watching Dust Platform!"

Hua Changxi walked over, recited the name of the high platform, and stood on this highest high platform of the central island.

Climbing high to look far.

Standing on the high platform and looking down, her gaze could actually penetrate the light mist and clouds below, clearly spreading the scene of the human world before her eyes.

Outside the Nine Heavens Fire Spring, winding rivers wrapped around the earth like silver ribbons, smoke curled from prosperous cities, the distant mountain ranges outlined dark silhouettes in the twilight, and she could even vaguely see pedestrians on the roads moving slowly like ants.

The range of her vision was not infinite. Hua Changxi had a strong feeling that the range she could see at this moment was the entire South Xiangcheng.

The twelve blessed lands of South Xiangcheng together outlined the Zhu Que totem.

Hua Changxi, who had become the Fire Spring Palace Master, stood on the Watching Dust Platform and could penetrate the spatial barrier, clearly 'seeing' the locations of the other eleven 'flame-rising' blessed lands.
