Chapter 538: Heavenly Fire Relic

"Oh?" He Pingsheng became interested, looked at the Golden Core stage Ancestor Xihu, and asked: "What is this Doumi Mountain seven-family competition?"

"I ask the senior to clarify!"

"Good!" True Person Xihu said: "Then this palace will tell you the pros and cons!"

The three sat at the stone table and stone stools in the courtyard.

True Person Xihu explained the seven-family competition once.

He Pingsheng understood immediately.

It turned out to be much the same as the nine-country competition in the cultivation world.

They were all competitions organized to fight for something.

The difference was that in the nine-country competition, each country had to send ten people, while in the seven-family competition, each family only needed to send two people, and only one person actually participated in the competition.

The other one was a substitute for critical moments.

"These seven families of ours are actually all affiliated with the 【Heavenly Human Immortal Sect】 on the Heavenly Fire Continent."

"Of course, there are countless families under the Heavenly Human Immortal Sect, and our seven families are not all of them, but these seven families have overlapping areas in resource competition and are all on Doumi Mountain!"

"So, every hundred years, these seven families will have a competition to rank!"

"And this ranking also involves the quota for the Heavenly Fire Relic!"

He Pingsheng asked: "What is the Heavenly Fire Relic?"

True Person Xihu said: "You low-tier disciples might not know, our Spirit Realm is composed of five huge continents, which are Heavenly Fire Continent, Profound Ice Continent, Western Extreme Continent, Lei Huang Continent, and Thick Earth Continent!"

"These five huge continents belong to the five attributes of fire, water, metal, wood, and earth!"

"On the Heavenly Fire Continent, there are ten innate true fires!"

"On the Profound Ice Continent, there are ten innate true waters!"

"On the Lei Huang Continent, there are ten innate divine thunders!"

"The remaining Western Extreme Continent and Thick Earth Continent are the same; each continent has innate five-element objects according to their attributes!"

"We are here on the Heavenly Fire Continent, so there are ten innate true fires!"

"And the ten innate true fires, if you fuse one, you can advance to the Mahayana realm and rule one side!"

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

Hearing this, He Pingsheng deeply felt the difference between the Spirit Realm and the cultivation world.

And True Person Xihu was still explaining.

She seemed to feel that He Pingsheng's cultivation was too low and he didn't understand many things about the Spirit Realm, so she explained it very thoroughly.

The Spirit Realm is divided into five continents, and each continent is inhabited by thousands of races.

Take the Heavenly Fire Continent, for example; there are humans, ape races, giant python races, peacock races, phoenix races, etc...

Countless!

In comparison, the human race is still a relatively weak race among all these races.

On the Heavenly Fire Continent, the human race has a Mahayana Emperor-level Great Emperor, known as the 【Undying God Emperor】.

This human Undying God Emperor has fused with the 【Undying Holy Fire】 among the ten innate true fires on the Heavenly Fire Continent.

And it is said that before this Undying Holy Fire was fused by the human Great Emperor, it wandered on the Heavenly Fire Continent for hundreds of millions of years, cultivating in various places of earth fire, fire essence, and fire origin.

And every time the Undying Holy Fire cultivated in a place, it would leave a relic.

This kind of relic is called a 【Heavenly Fire Relic】.

In the Heavenly Fire Relic, sometimes the origin of the heavenly fire is left behind, as well as many Daoist techniques about heavenly fire.

Of course, the Heavenly Fire Relic that True Person Xihu is talking about is not the relic of the Undying Holy Fire, but the former cultivation place of the 【Nine Heavens Profound Fire】 among the ten innate true fires.

This relic is on Doumi Mountain.

It opens once every hundred years.

After opening, the seven families can decide how many cultivators to send in according to their ranking.

The cultivation of the cultivators entering the Heavenly Fire Relic is not limited; they can be at the Nascent Soul stage to comprehend Daoist techniques below, or Golden Core stage, or even Foundation Establishment stage.

The higher the ranking in the competition, the more quotas the family gets.

"He Pingsheng... join our Li family and represent the Li family in this competition!" True Person Xihu looked at him and said seriously: "After the competition, if you don't like it, you can leave the Li family!"

"We will definitely not stop you!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Then... why is it necessary for Qi Condensation disciples to participate in the competition?"

True Person Xihu said: "Qi Condensation disciples can better see the future of a family, and every high-level disciple is a treasure of the family, so they cannot be easily damaged, so the Qi Condensation competition is also the fairest!"

Qi Condensation has no fancy tricks.

It compares the depth of magic power, the power of spells, etc.

"I can represent your Li family in the competition!" He Pingsheng agreed directly: "However... I have two conditions!"

True Person Xihu was overjoyed and said: "You say it!"

He Pingsheng said: "The first condition, Li Linger and her brother Little Mo, these two, your Li family must take good care of them, and take care of them for a lifetime!"

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist He's first condition to be entrusting others!" Mu Ruolin on the side said with respect: "Instead of considering his own interests, it's truly admirable!"

"Fellow Daoist He, don't worry, I, Mu Ruolin, make a vow today that even if I die, I will protect the safety of these two siblings and let them live their lives in peace!"

"No problem!" True Person Xihu said: "Two mere mortals won't consume any of the Li family's resources, I agree to this!"

"Good!" He Pingsheng said: "The second condition, if I help your Li family win first place, I want one quota for the Heavenly Fire Relic!"

According to what True Person Xihu said before, there are not only Daoist techniques and origins in the Heavenly Fire Relic.

There is another extremely important thing: Aura!

Here, there is the aura left by the 【Nine Heavens Profound Fire】; if you condense the aura and fuse it with yourself, you will have a sense whenever you appear near the Nine Heavens Profound Fire in the future.

The Nine Heavens Profound Fire is still an ownerless object.

And after having this sense, you have the opportunity to catch the Nine Heavens Profound Fire.

So this aura is the most precious thing in the Heavenly Fire Relic.

Since that's the case, He Pingsheng naturally wants to go over and try his luck.

"This..."

True Person Xihu frowned and said: "He Pingsheng, it's not that our Li family is stingy, but even if we give you the quota, you can't get in!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Why?"

True Person Xihu said: "To enter the Heavenly Fire Relic, the minimum cultivation requirement is Foundation Establishment stage!"

"You are only at the tenth layer of Qi Condensation now!"

"And, this relic will open three days after the competition, you can't possibly advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in such a short time, right?"

He Pingsheng smiled and said: "I can!"

"May I ask the senior, how long until the competition starts?"

True Person Xihu said: "Only a little over a month!"

"That's good!" He Pingsheng said: "To tell you the truth, senior, my tenth layer of Qi Condensation has encountered a bottleneck, and coincidentally, I happen to have heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can break through the bottleneck!"

"After I swallow the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, my cultivation will instantly reach the twelfth layer of Qi Condensation!"

"After the competition, swallow the Foundation Establishment Elixir, and I will be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

"By then, entering the Heavenly Fire Relic should be no problem, right?"

"This!" True Person Xihu nodded: "If that's the case, it makes sense!"

"Good... alright... I'll make the decision, I'll give you one quota for the Heavenly Fire Relic!"

"Of course, the prerequisite is that you can win first place in this seven-sect competition for our Li family!"

He Pingsheng said: "No problem!"

Whether it's the depth of magic power, combat experience, or understanding of spells and divine abilities, He Pingsheng is far beyond the Qi Condensation stage.

If he still couldn't win first place, then he would have truly lived in vain. ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
