Chapter 529: Learning the Jin Wu True Flame
Lu Yang was actually very curious: now that the nine Golden Crows had returned, how should the ten Jade Rabbits be distributed? Should they mate together, or would the extra one be roasted by the Immortal Fairy to poison the Four Ancient Immortals?
He felt there was no need for him to know so much dark history; not only was it useless for cultivation, but if he were to run into the Four Ancient Immortals in the future, it would be hard to survive.
Lu Yang currently held no positive image of the Four Ancient Immortals in his mind. If he were to try and get close to them upon meeting, saying, "I have a great relationship with the Immortal Fairy and listen to your stories from her every day,"
he feared he wouldn't be able to save his own life.
"How is it? After hearing the story I told, does it help a lot with comprehending the Jin Wu True Flame?"
Knowing the story behind something allows for a deeper understanding of the essence of spells and divine abilities; this is a universally accepted fact in the Cultivation Realm. Unfortunately, the history of spells and divine abilities on the market is too ancient, making it difficult to trace the history of that time and know what exactly happened back then.
However, for Lu Yang, listening to the Immortal Fairy tell the stories behind spells and divine abilities only lowered his comprehension of them.
"Jin Wu True Flame..."
He used his magic power to capture a small wisp, which bloomed at his fingertip. Even though it was just a tiny bit, the energy contained within it was immeasurable.
Lu Yang stared at the Jin Wu True Flame, slowly closing his eyes to comprehend the essence of the true flame.
"What kind of flame should I choose?" Man Gu was very conflicted. For him, it would be best to learn the Samadhi True Fire. He had asked Lu Yang to teach him, but he hadn't learned it, or rather, he had no idea where to start learning it at all.
"Should I choose the Nirvana True Fire like Brother Meng?"
Watching Meng Jingzhou gradually refining the Nirvana True Fire, with wisps of fire Qi being swallowed and exhaled, Man Gu shook his head: "Not appropriate, not appropriate. This is a demon race true fire, and not only does it not match my bloodline, but my comprehension is not as high as Brother Meng's; I cannot cross races to comprehend true fire."
"Taiyin True Fire? Not appropriate. My blood Qi is too strong; comprehending the Taiyin True Fire would suppress my blood Qi and lower my strength."
"Chaos True Fire? Not appropriate. I know nothing about chaos and cannot comprehend it."
"Ziwei Heavenly Fire? Not appropriate. Now that the stars are gone, the Ziwei Heavenly Fire originating from the Ziwei Star is an even more rootless fire. Even though its power is immense, it is difficult to use for long."
"This kind of flame seems somewhat familiar; I can try it." Man Gu was overjoyed and sat cross-legged in front of a cluster of flames.
That was the Samadhi True Fire.
Tao Yaoye was also conflicted about which flame to choose. She walked past the Jin Wu True Fire, Taiyin True Fire, and Great Expansion True Fire one by one, but felt nothing; none were the true fire suitable for her.
Finally, she sat cross-legged in front of a cluster of flames that had the sound of a bird chirping.
Nanming Li Fire.
Lu Yang's comprehension gradually entered a good state. He seemed to transform into the sun, hanging high in the sky, shining upon the earth and bestowing grace upon all things, when suddenly a large hand grabbed him, placing him together with a rabbit...
"Look quickly at Lu Yang! He is clearly comprehending the Jin Wu True Flame, yet both Taiyin and Solar powers are emerging from his body. These two powers faintly show a trend of merging!"
The Five Elements Sect disciples gasped upon seeing this scene. To comprehend Taiyin power from Solar power—what kind of heaven-defying comprehension is this!
Not to mention merging two extreme powers together!
This person's attainments in true fire are terrifying!
Even the Five Vein Elders and Qiu Jinan were moved upon seeing this. With such talent, there are probably only two or three in history!
"Old Song, this child's talent is terrifying!" The Gold Vein Elder transmitted his voice to Song Duantian. They had a deep hatred for the Daoist Priest Who Does Not Speak, and now that Lu Yang had fallen into their hands, shouldn't they give him a good lesson to vent their anger?
As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life; the son inherits the father's business, and the son pays the father's debts. So, it would be perfectly fine to make Lu Yang pay the debt!
Song Duantian's brows were locked tight: "If this child is not removed, he will definitely remember what you and I did today, and he will surely become a great disaster in the future!"
"He is a hidden danger indeed."
"What should we do?"
The Gold Vein Elder stared fixedly at Lu Yang, his heart conflicted. Finally, a fierce look appeared, as if he had made a certain decision.
"At worst, we'll just stop counting the grudge against the old thief Who Does Not Speak!"
"Look, only the Solar power remains on Lu Yang's body again!"
Lu Yang did not know the views of the Gold Vein and Fire Vein Elders. His top priority was to quickly forget the comprehension he had just had.
He had almost been led into a pit by the Immortal Fairy, comprehending the method of merging Taiyin and Solar.
How dangerous.
He re-comprehended the Jin Wu True Flame, transforming into the sun patrolling the sky, with all things full of vitality, a scene of prosperity.
The sun seemed like a balloon, constantly expanding and shrinking, as if it would explode at any moment, which was heart-wrenching to watch.
Suddenly, a bird's cry came from inside the sun, the sound pleasant and full of vigor.
"Success!" Lu Yang was overjoyed, opening his eyes. His eyes were flushed red, like two small suns.
He blinked, and his eyes returned to normal, clear and bottomless, like a young child. Everything just now seemed like an illusion, making one feel hesitant.
"You succeeded?" Bai Ming was surprised. The true fire he mastered was the Jin Wu True Flame, and he knew how difficult it was to comprehend such a true fire.
"One try will tell." Lu Yang smiled, very confident. This time there was definitely no problem; he had comprehended the Jin Wu True Flame thoroughly.
Lu Yang spread his left palm, and a cluster of flames emerged, the surrounding temperature rising suddenly.
The flame swayed in the air, its form gradually settling; it could already be preliminarily seen as a bird.
"True fire mimicry?" Bai Ming whispered in shock. The shape of the flame was not fixed, requiring extreme control to mold the flame into the desired shape. An ordinary cultivator could not do this without fifty years of hard cultivation.
And looking at Lu Yang's effortless appearance, it didn't seem like Lu Yang was deliberately mimicking it; it was more like the true fire was in this shape as soon as it appeared!
A confident smile curled at the corner of Lu Yang's mouth. He raised two fingers on his right hand, placing them before his lips, and gave a pretentious light shout: "True fire, appear!"
The true fire transformed into a Jin Wu, lifelike and detailed, as if it had come alive.
"The true fire has transformed into a Jin Wu?" Bai Ming exclaimed again. This time he couldn't even suppress the shock in his heart and shouted it out directly.
The Five Elements Sect disciples and elders had long noticed the situation on Lu Yang's side.
"He can turn true fire into a Jin Wu on the first try?"
"No, look, the Jin Wu has three legs, but Lu Yang's Jin Wu only has two!"
"Is there a Jin Wu with two legs?"
"The biggest sign of a Jin Wu is its three legs. Can a two-legged one even be considered a Jin Wu?"
Lu Yang was also a bit confused. Why was the "Jin Wu" that the true fire automatically transformed into different from what he expected?
He clenched his left hand, extinguishing the true fire, and spread his hand again to bloom it; it was still a two-legged "Jin Wu."
He was unwilling to give up and tried several times, hoping for an extra leg to grow, but it never fulfilled his wish.
Lu Yang scratched his head. He was inexperienced and had never encountered this situation, so he turned to ask Bai Ming: "Do you know what's going on?"
Bai Ming had never seen this situation either and was also asked into a daze: "Golden Crows all have three legs. Yours with two legs should just be a golden bird."
"Then does this count as Jin Wu True Flame?"
Bai Ming's expression became increasingly strange: "It counts as Golden Bird True Flame."
