It’s Solar True Fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qingfeng could reply, Xiang Dong exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Solar True Fire!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his exclamation, he quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think I have a rough idea of what might be present here, it should be a dormant mature Fire Essence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most likely it hasn’t escaped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agreeing with his statement, Qingfeng nodded and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only a spirit of nature such as the Fire Essence can fully converge Solar True Fire while simultaneously posing only a moderate latent influence on the surrounding Earth Realm.

It is the pertinent rule in action. For example, in places inhabited by people who control Solar True Fire, the environmental temperature is often much higher than usual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before she could finish her words, Jin Ritian’s eyes were gleaming and he was rubbing his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there really is a mature Fire Essence sleeping here, then we have hit the jackpot. Though spirits of nature are not on the same level as the original species, in essence, they are not actual creatures either. However, if one can tame them, the benefits are innumerable. For example, this Fire Essence, if kept in an independent world, can serve as a real sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A real sun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should know, brother, that neither the independent worlds nor various mini worlds have a real sun. The day and night transitions are essentially illusions, they are rule conditions created to meet the needs of various creatures’ evolution, only the Big World truly has a sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ritian explained, saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A real sun and a fake one make a huge difference, it has a very tangible impact on the evolution of all things. Moreover, spirits of nature are born alongside the great Tao and are favored by it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to say something more, Blue Phoenix spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop discussing unnecessary matters, the Fire Essence may have already awakened. Elemental spirits are extremely sensitive to the outside world. Ownerless ones not only have a stronger territorial consciousness, they also instinctively follow favorable conditions and avoid harmful ones based on their relationship with Tao. I’ll go check it out and try to disperse the Solar True Fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Blue Phoenix’s words, Jin Ritian nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll accompany you, we can act as each other’s backup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two utter words one after another, Li Jing voiced his opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful, there might not only be Fire Essence here, but also other things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian are astute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, they didn’t need Li Jing’s reminder to know that this place must hold something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only a Fire Essence existed, this land would not have stopped Xiaocai, a Spirit of Origin, in her tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they might even become friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless the territory of an elemental spirit was intentionally offended, their reactions were generally the same as the Spirit of Origin - innocent, harmless, and pure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what kind of elemental spirit it is, none of them could pose a threat that would frighten the Spirit of Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, echoing Li Jing’s words, both Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian nodded, showing that they understood, then transformed into their divine beast forms and head toward the space where the black soil continent resides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Li Jing turned his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s follow them, Brother Xiang. Leave the Fire Essence to Blue Phoenix and Brother Jin to deal with. We can back them up, just in case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Dong responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he brandished his Taoist flying sword to follow the two who were ahead of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four individuals traversed through the void and entered the Black Soil Continent’s space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all could vividly sense the intense heat of the Solar True Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was truly not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It almost equaled the standard Phoenix Heavenly Fire and Great Sun Demon Fire emitted by Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Soil Continent was now nothing but ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was it blasted, there was also high-temperature Solar True Fire wreaking havoc in the continental space. Only some special materials that couldn’t be easily incinerated could possibly remain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the Black Soil Continent’s space, both Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian, who were leading the group, paused for a moment before forcefully flapping their wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hot wind carrying strands of the Phoenix Heavenly Fire and Great Sun Demon Fire immediately rolled out and swept through from beneath their large feathered wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the power of the Solar True Fire can be on par with Heavenly Fire, it is still inferior when facing the authentic Heavenly Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian took action, the Solar True Fire engulfing the vicinity was immediately pushed back in droves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They haven’t found it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the four of them weren’t in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space of the Black Soil Continent was not large but also not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, Blue Phoenix and Jin Ritian had only pushed back a small part of the Solar True Fire. There was still a large quantity of Solar True Fire rampaging throughout the space, obstructing their view and perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor Jin, let’s split up. In this way, we can be quicker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Phoenix turned her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ritian responded and turned to go north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Blue Phoenix moved forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two heading in opposite directions, Xiang Dong turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll follow Elder Jin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon saying this, he moved forming a tail to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On seeing this, Li Jing decided to follow Blue Phoenix.
