Chapter 238: The Green Lotus Subdues the Strange Fire!
Buzz!
The pure blue strange fire Dou Qi directly centered on the young man's abdomen, forcibly clashing with the blue lava that had taken the form of the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire in his meridians, exceeding the limit of his body's meridian endurance!
As the strange fire Dou Qi, which had been altered by the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire, collided with the strange fire, it displayed remarkable resistance to the strange fire. It immediately formed a dense layer of blue Dou Qi armor both inside and outside the young man's body!
The blue Dou Qi armor quickly dissolved under the burning of the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire, but it was swiftly replenished by the fire-type crystal core inside Xiao Yan's body! The fire-type crystal core and the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire reached a tug-of-war at that moment! Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and desperately operated the Burning Technique, attempting to pull the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire into the technique's system for absorption and refining! However, his action once again angered the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire, resulting in even stronger resistance. The Burning Technique he was operating was like a huge grinding wheel, with the blue Dou Qi acting like a pushing hand that continually dissolved and condensed, trying to force the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire into the wheel!
However, the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire was like an endless force, constantly pushing up, erupting with a powerful survival instinct. It continued to dissolve the blue Dou Qi, unwilling to enter the terrifying Burning Technique grinding wheel that filled it with an inexplicable fear!
"Ah!!!" In this deadlock, Xiao Yan could only watch as the pure Dou Qi in his crystal core was visibly dissolving at a rapid pace. The originally bright fire-type crystal core, now assimilated by the blue strange fire, was quickly dimming!
Realizing that if he continued, he would surely lose to the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire, which had a thousand years of accumulated energy but could not release too much energy at once due to being trapped in the spiritual space, Xiao Yan roared. He immediately released all the restrictions on the fire-type crystal core, allowing its pure energy to pour into his body at maximum power. The sudden explosion of blue Dou Qi formed a Dou Qi armor on Xiao Yan's body!
"I will definitely succeed!!"
"You..." Yao Chen tightly clenched his fists, his heart rising into his throat as he watched Xiao Yan's stubborn demeanor. His heart was filled with both sorrow and admiration as he stood beside Xiao Yan, struggling with his emotions.
At that moment, a colorful afterimage suddenly emerged from somewhere, rushing into the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire, wrapping itself around the young man's cracked arm. It then opened its mouth to begin absorbing the strange fire energy that had flowed out of the spiritual space with great difficulty!
At the same time, in the sky above, a blue lotus slowly descended. The lotus expanded as the wind blew, going from the size of a small pellet to the size of a grinding wheel. It then inverted in a strange manner, flipping above the young man's head. Radiant red-gold flames flickered on the lotus leaves, and an invisible light shield enveloped the young man below. In the subtle waves, the energy activity of the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire seemed to be heavily suppressed, directly weakening its resistance.
For a moment, the energy supply of the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire was diverted by the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Snake. The activity of the strange fire was weakened by the strange fire Green Lotus. Xiao Yan seized the opportunity, pushing his immense blue Dou Qi into motion. With a final push, he managed to force the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire, which had been stunned by a series of blows, into the grinding wheel of the Burning Technique!
Buzz!
The moment the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire was absorbed into the Burning Technique, the space within a ten-meter radius of Xiao Yan instantly ignited with a brief flare of blue fire, like the last cry of the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire before it slowly dissipated. The blue strange fire on Xiao Yan's body was gradually absorbed into his body, and his aura began to stabilize.
"It succeeded!" Yao Chen watched the scene, his heart suddenly jolting!
A light breeze moved, and Jiang Lin, with six soft Dou Qi wings behind him, descended slowly from the sky. His red-gold eyes looked surprised as he glanced at the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Snake on Xiao Yan's wrist. He thought to himself: "So... the key to breaking the deadlock was this little snake? As expected, a perfect main character template."
With a sigh, the massive young man, who had red-gold spiritual eyes, gazed at Xiao Yan, who was now holding the "main character" tool. He had thought that by taking the 'main character' item, he could replace the lost item. However, it seemed the real key item wasn't the strange fire Green Lotus in his hand but the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Snake?
Of course, even if he had taken the Seven-Colored Sky-Devouring Snake away from Xiao Yan, Jiang Lin suspected Xiao Yan could still find a new way forward.
Lost in thought, Jiang Lin casually waved his hand, and the strange fire Green Lotus above Xiao Yan's head slowly flew back, shrinking quickly in mid-air. It finally transformed into a small blue lotus the size of a baby's palm, which appeared in Jiang Lin's hand, surrounded by mysterious silver markings.
"You... Secret Technique of the Universe?" Yao Chen, who had been focused on Xiao Yan, was suddenly drawn to the flying green lotus and looked at it with widening eyes as it shrank in the air.
"Want to learn it? Sorry, but I really can't teach you this," Jiang Lin said, tilting the hand with the strange fire Green Lotus to show Yao Chen, then lightly chuckling.
This was not a joke—learning the spatial secret technique, the Universe Art, had a strict requirement: one's soul power must be strong enough to perceive the spatial energy. Without that perception, the technique could hardly be taught. When Hu Lei passed on the Universe Art to Jiang Lin, it was because the Universe Art was tied to the Qingxuan Ding, and it was easier to pass it all at once. That way, when Jiang Lin reached the right level, he could fully master it without needing to find him again, lest he became unreachable.
Crafting masters and alchemists generally have stronger soul power than ordinary people, and typically, once they reach the Dou Wang stage, they can sense vague spatial energy, thus fulfilling the prerequisites for learning the Universe Art. However, Jiang Lin's talent in sensing spatial power exceeded even Hu Lei's understanding.
Currently, Hu Lei still didn't know that Jiang Lin had already mastered the Universe Art, and he probably thought Jiang Lin was just beginning to learn the Soul Refining Technique.
But in reality, Jiang Lin had mastered the Universe Art, and his proficiency in it was even higher than Hu Lei's, unlocking the Qingxuan Ding's special abilities. As for the Soul Refining Technique, Jiang Lin had not only cultivated it, but his mortal soul had begun showing signs of transcending its boundaries, taking a small step toward the spiritual soul realm.
"Of course, even if you wanted to teach him, Xiao Yan wouldn't be able to learn it right now," Yao Chen said, instinctively nodding. He then turned to look at Xiao Yan, who was slowly cultivating on the other side.
After surviving another life-and-death tribulation, Xiao Yan, with his meridians damaged, gave a weak smile to Yao Chen and Jiang Lin before losing consciousness.
"Teacher, I did it!"
