Ning Fa also had some guesses about how the Profound Fire Sect obtained this Primordial Realm Pearl.
He surmised that when the Illusionary Light Heavenly Domain experienced anomalies, the Profound Fire Heavenly Monarch had entered it and, by chance, acquired one of the Primordial Realm Pearls.
Thinking of this, Ning Fa's heart stirred. He suspected the Profound Fire Heavenly Monarch had a deeper purpose in placing this Primordial Realm Pearl in the Cangyuan Cultivation World.
In Ning Fa's opinion, it was possible that the Profound Fire Heavenly Monarch had sensed Yan Yuan Daoist's covetousness for this Primordial Realm Pearl.
Out of apprehension towards him, he placed the Primordial Realm Pearl in the Cangyuan Cultivation World branch sect to avoid disaster.
As Ning Fa pondered, a soft female voice sounded, "Fellow Daoist Ning, I have fulfilled my first promise."
Ning Fa turned to see Liuying standing behind him, smiling charmingly.
Although her beautiful eyes held a hint of curiosity, she didn't ask any further questions.
Ning Fa smiled and nodded at her.
This repayment was immense, having a profound impact on him.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was greatly indebted to Liuying this time.
Even if it meant expending some of his Divine Thunder origin to help her recover, he would have agreed without hesitation.
Seeing this, Liuying continued with a smile, "Alright, then it's time for my other two repayments. First, I will help Fellow Daoist Ning repair your fire-attribute Spirit Treasure."
Ning Fa's expression shifted upon hearing this, and he followed Liuying out of the wooden house.
At this moment, Liuying pointed her slender hand towards the sky and said, "I can slightly control the power of this barrier.
I will transfer the pure Fire Spiritual Power from the Sky Furnace Fire Marsh and Sun Peak, along with a portion of the origin of this Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, to your fire-attribute Spirit Treasure.
This way, it shouldn't take too long to fully repair your Spirit Treasure.
And with the barrier here deactivated, capturing that little fellow should also be much easier."
Ning Fa hesitated slightly upon hearing this.
The current Solar Essence Fire was extremely important to him, even more so than the Five Flames Lamp, his Spirit Treasure.
He would rather the barrier continue to function, allowing the Fire Rabbit formed from the Solar Essence Fire to continue taking shape.
Liuying seemed to have understood Ning Fa's thoughts and couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems Fellow Daoist Ning is also extremely eager for the fully formed Solar Essence Fire after reading that record.
But I must tell you that even if I don't intervene, this barrier won't last much longer.
From my perception, the barrier in the Sky Furnace Fire Marsh outside has already undergone significant changes, which means some of the master's arrangements have naturally become invalid.
Furthermore, I will no longer allow the origin of the Haolei Tower to be consumed in this manner.
The most I can do now is to use some of my origin to help you repair your Spirit Treasure; that's my limit."
Ning Fa also smiled, "Alright, then as you say."
He secretly chided himself for being too attached.
In reality, the Solar Essence Fire was not far from fully forming, and he believed he could find other ways to achieve its complete formation with his own methods.
With this thought, Ning Fa couldn't help but ask curiously, "As the Artifact Spirit of this Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, can you leave freely? And what will happen to this Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure after you leave?"
After all, his original purpose for coming to Sun Peak was for this Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, and he had no intention of giving up on it now.
Liuying chuckled, "Over these past ten thousand years, I have learned some techniques, and I should be able to leave in my Artifact Spirit form.
And I advise Fellow Daoist Ning not to harbor any covetous thoughts towards the Haolei Tower.
The Haolei Tower is already severely damaged, and after ten thousand years of consumption, it is now like a patient in critical condition, barely maintained by the infusion of pure Fire Spiritual Power from Sun Peak and the Sky Furnace Fire Marsh.
Once the pure Fire Spiritual Power from the Sky Furnace Fire Marsh is no longer injected, the Haolei Tower will definitely be unable to maintain its Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure level and will directly downgrade to a Spirit Treasure.
Moreover, the master's reincarnation has awakened some of his Divine Soul power, so he has a certain spiritual connection with the Haolei Tower.
Therefore, even if I leave, Fellow Daoist Ning will certainly not be able to seize the Haolei Tower from him.
But Fellow Daoist Ning need not worry, because after I, its Artifact Spirit, leave, the Haolei Tower will at most exert the power of a Mid-grade Spirit Treasure.
As long as your fire-attribute Spirit Treasure is fully repaired, you will be able to contend with this tower."
Ning Fa had no choice but to abandon his thoughts of the Haolei Tower. He asked curiously, "Where is Yan Yuan Daoist now?"
A hint of complexity flashed in Liuying's eyes, "Master is currently on the third level of the tower, where some of his belongings are left.
Although Master disregarded my survival for the sake of the Solar Essence Fire, regardless, without his help, I would not exist.
I have already given you his precious treasure and the Solar Essence Fire, so the other things should be left for him."
Ning Fa's expression remained calm, and he didn't say much, instead feeling a sense of admiration for Liuying.
If she had unreservedly given him the items on the third level of the tower as well, while he would have happily accepted, he would undoubtedly have been very wary of her.
After all, in the end, she was only acting to protect herself.
"Alright, we don't have much time, as I cannot guarantee that the master won't come to this fourth level, so let's act quickly."
Liuying said with a serious expression.
Ning Fa nodded and, following Liuying's instructions, gently tossed his right hand.
His Five Flames Lamp immediately flew upwards, quickly reaching the area beneath the massive light formation in the sky.
At this moment, Liuying's expression turned solemn, her hands rapidly forming seals.
Instantly, the strands of Fire Spiritual Power flowing from beneath the massive light array in the sky seemed to be summoned, surging towards the Five Flames Lamp.
In the blink of an eye, the Five Flames Lamp was enveloped by a brilliant fiery haze. As if stimulated, the lamp's entire body blazed with five-colored firelight, and the mysterious runes on its lotus-shaped base flickered erratically.
It was clearly visible that some of the damaged areas on the surface of the Five Flames Lamp were slowly being repaired by the pure Fire Spiritual Power.
Ning Fa, whose divine soul was connected to the Five Flames Lamp, naturally felt this change. He couldn't help but be overjoyed; what Liuying had said was not an exaggeration at all.
Judging by the current progress, the Five Flames Lamp should be restored to its original state before long.
Meanwhile, the valley where the two were located, deprived of the influx of pure Fire Spiritual Power, immediately felt its spiritual energy weaken.
From the depths of the valley, a Fire Rabbit poked its head out from amidst the flowers, its gaze fixed on the sky. Its small eyes darted around, appearing somewhat anxious.
At this, Liuying said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Ning, now is the time to capture the Fire Rabbit formed by the Solar Essence Fire. I suggest you use your Supreme Water Divine Thunder; that should give you a better chance of capturing it."
Ning Fa nodded, then let out a soft breath. A layer of black lightning fire erupted around him. He had indeed unleashed his Supreme Water Divine Thunder and the Phoenix Origin Ice Flame.
With a sound of wind and thunder, he vanished amidst a flash of lightning.
The next moment, he appeared dozens of feet away, directly in front of the Fire Rabbit. His right hand, wreathed in dense purple lightning fire, shot out like lightning to grab the rabbit.
The Fire Rabbit, which had been looking up at the sky with a worried expression, was instantly terrified. However, its reaction was incredibly swift; it directly transformed into a shadowy flame and disappeared.
A moment later, the Fire Rabbit reappeared twenty feet away, a flash of fiery shadow.
The Fire Rabbit looked shaken, its small eyes glaring at Ning Fa with pure anger.
"Fire Escape!" Ning Fa exclaimed in surprise, feeling a headache coming on.
This creature formed from Solar Essence Fire actually possessed the Divine Ability of Fire Escape. Although Fire Escape was generally inferior to Lightning Escape, it was clear that the Fire Rabbit's mastery of it was extremely high. He suspected that even with his own Lightning Escape Divine Ability, it wouldn't be easy to catch.
At this, the Fire Rabbit opened its mouth and spat out a fearsome arrow formed of flame, shooting directly at Ning Fa.
Ning Fa spread his right hand, and a black lightning fire instantly formed a lightning net to meet the attack. With a "bang," the two collided and then vanished into nothingness.
A flash of lightning flickered around Ning Fa as he activated his Lightning Escape again.
However, the Fire Rabbit had learned its lesson. Immediately, its body blazed with fire, and it also activated its Fire Escape.
Thus, the man and the rabbit chased and fled, their movements flashing with lightning and fire throughout the small valley. Ning Fa simply couldn't catch the Fire Rabbit.
Perhaps it was because the Fire Rabbit's Fire Escape was of too high a level, but even his usually unfailing Law-Breaking Thunder Eyes could not break through its Fire Escape.
Ning Fa then employed the Moon God Art and the Spiritual Heart Divine Thunder, launching a Divine Soul Attack, but it seemed to have no effect on the Fire Rabbit.
After a long while, Ning Fa finally stopped, and the Fire Rabbit reappeared dozens of feet away from him. The chase had left the Fire Rabbit somewhat breathless, and it glared at Ning Fa in anger. However, the pure Fire Spiritual Power from the surrounding valley surged towards it, rapidly restoring its energy.
But just then, a triumphant smile appeared on Ning Fa's lips. He suddenly clenched his right hand, and with a low rumble of thunder, a patch of black water-like light appeared in the valley.
Dense nets of black lightning fire rose up in the valley, rapidly closing in on the Fire Rabbit at the center. Ning Fa had secretly laid these lightning nets during his continuous Lightning Escapes.
The Fire Rabbit was greatly alarmed and immediately activated its Fire Escape again. But just as it passed through one layer of the lightning net, another layer surged towards it from the outside.
Finally, with a pained shriek, the Fire Rabbit was completely enclosed within the layers of lightning nets. It then transformed into a special crimson flame, still thrashing about within, trying to break free.
At this moment, a purple firebird flew over, holding a special white ice pearl in its beak. A white Spirit Flame was emitted from it. With the aid of this white Spirit Flame, numerous Supreme Water Divine Thunders and the Phoenix Origin Ice Flame flew out, finally forming a block of ice that sealed the crimson flame within.
The purple firebird also opened its beak and inhaled the ice block containing the Solar Essence Fire. It swayed precariously but finally stabilized and flew into Ning Fa's hand, disappearing.
Ning Fa let out a long sigh of relief, a smile on his lips. He had finally dealt with the Solar Essence Fire.
