Star Dou Great Forest core area — Lake of Life.
By the Lake of Life, shrouded in morning mist, Fang Yang sat cross-legged, his spirit power constantly circulating around his body.
He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging spirit power fluctuations within him, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.
"Fang Yang, you've broken through?"
A clear, melodious voice came from beside him.
Gu Yue had appeared beside him at some point, the morning light illuminating her profile, outlining her soft features.
She tilted her head slightly, her dark eyes quietly watching Fang Yang.
With her perception, she could naturally feel that the spirit power fluctuations emanating from Fang Yang had reached a completely new level.
That rich and solid spirit power was far beyond what ordinary Spirit Masters could compare to.
Fang Yang stood up and stretched his limbs, a faint crackling sound coming from his bones.
He smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, I'm level fifty."
Gu Yue looked at him thoughtfully, her slender fingers gently brushing away a strand of hair disheveled by the breeze: "How do you plan to obtain your fifth spirit ring? By a Spirit Beast sacrificing itself, or by going to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda...?"
Fang Yang shook his head, his gaze cast towards the calm lake surface: "No, I have an energy within me that is enough to Breakthrough the Spirit King Realm, and next is to condense a spirit core."
"Spirit core...?"
Gu Yue was slightly stunned, her dark pupils suddenly constricting. She naturally understood what condensing a spirit core meant.
A gentle breeze swept across the Lake of Life, creating ripples.
"What do you need me to do?" Gu Yue asked softly, with a hint of concern in her voice.
"Just help me as a Protector."
Fang Yang turned to look at Gu Yue, revealing a gentle smile.
Gu Yue nodded lightly, raised her jade hand, and with a wave, a silver light screen unfolded, enveloping the Lake of Life: "I will guard here."
Fang Yang said no more, his mind moved, activating the fire pearl within his body.
The fire pearl suddenly burst forth with brilliant flame light.
His consciousness sank into the internal space of the fire pearl.
The space before his eyes twisted, and when Fang Yang opened his eyes again, the familiar Fire Square stood before him.
Twenty-three towering giant pillars stood majestically, each entwined with flames of different colors, emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.
Fang Yang slowly walked on the Fire Square, his gaze wandering over the different fires on the many towering giant pillars.
With the continuous improvement of his strength, he now had three different fires within him: Xuan Huang Flame, Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, and Yin-Yang Dual Flame.
These three different fires each had their unique characteristics and power, bringing him immense strength.
This time, he did not intend to devour a different fire according to the ranking of the different fire list, but rather chose the different fire most suitable for his current Cultivate needs.
Fang Yang's steps finally stopped before a towering giant pillar.
On that towering giant pillar, a pure cyan flame was entwined.
There is a flame that is born in the deep core of the earth's magma, tempered, fused, compressed, and sculpted countless times by the earth's fire.
It takes ten years to become a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, a thousand years to become a lotus, and when it reaches Major Achievement, its color is cyan, and a cluster of cyan fire grows in its lotus heart.
Its name is Qing Lian Fire, also known as Qing Lian Earth Core Fire.
"Nineteenth on the different fire list, Qing Lian Earth Core Fire."
Fang Yang whispered its name, a fervent glint in his eyes.
This different fire, born deep within the earth's core, is cyan in color, not only possessing unfathomable power, capable of triggering volcanic eruptions and forming the destructive forces of nature.
The treasure coexisting with this fire is the qing lian seat, which can help one calm their mind and avoid Qi Deviation during Cultivate.
This was exactly the aid he needed most when condensing his spirit core.
Fang Yang sat cross-legged before the towering giant pillar, adjusting his breathing, bringing himself to his optimal state.
As his thoughts moved, the fire pearl within his body began to tremble violently, emitting a low hum, as if responding to something.
"Unseal!"
Accompanied by a low shout, the ancient Seal runes on the towering giant pillar shattered inch by inch, emitting crisp cracking sounds.
The pure cyan flame shot up into the sky like a volcanic eruption, and the terrifying high temperature instantly scorched and distorted the surrounding air, even causing subtle ripples in space.
At the very center of the flames, a crystal-clear cyan fire lotus was slowly forming...
Each lotus petal, as it unfurled, emitted heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.
Fang Yang could feel that the energy contained within this Qing Lian Earth Core Fire far surpassed any other different fire he had previously devoured.
"Heaven Sealing Divine Forbidden, Seal!"
He dared not be careless in the slightest, immediately activating the power of the Formation.
Countless golden runes appeared out of thin air, transforming into a golden cage that firmly trapped the cyan fire lotus formed by the Qing Lian Earth Core Fire.
The cyan fire lotus struggled violently, erupting with energy fluctuations like a volcanic eruption, but it was always unable to Breakthrough the Binding of the golden rune Seal.
Gradually, the pure cyan flame subsided, eventually compressing into a cluster of pure cyan Origin fire seed.
It floated quietly in the air, emitting a pure cyan glow.
At the same time, its accompanying item — the qing lian seat — also appeared.
It was a cyan lotus flower with eight lotus leaves, like the most perfect cyan jade formed by nature, each petal crystal clear, exuding a faint fragrance.
Seeing this, Fang Yang's face showed a hint of a smile.
His mental force moved slightly, controlling the qing lian seat to slowly fly towards him.
When he sat cross-legged on the qing lian seat, he immediately felt a cool and peaceful aura not only flow into his mind but also throughout his entire body.
The restlessness he had previously experienced due to devouring too many different fires gradually subsided.
"As expected of the first different fire devoured by that existence," Fang Yang murmured to himself, his eyes filled with emotion and admiration.
After adjusting his state, Fang Yang took a deep breath. Next was the most crucial moment: devouring the Qing Lian Earth Core Fire.
Although he had successfully refined three different fires before, facing this level of heavenly and earthly spiritual object, he still dared not be careless in the slightest.
He slowly raised his right hand, and a cluster of ink-black flames suddenly ignited in his palm.
The flames danced, emitting heart-palpitating fluctuations.
It was the familiar operation...
The black flames rapidly expanded, transforming into a lifelike giant flame hand.
It grabbed the Qing Lian Earth Core Fire.
"Refine instantly!"
With a low shout, the black flames instantly devoured the Qing Lian Earth Core Fire into his body.
Fang Yang's whole body trembled violently, and this familiar burning sensation once again swept through his entire body.
He gritted his teeth, his forehead instantly covered with fine beads of sweat, which then instantly evaporated in the high temperature.
This was the fourth time he had devoured a different fire, but the pain had not diminished in the slightest.
Fang Yang's body was constantly being tempered by the Qing Lian Earth Core Fire, his Qi and blood surged, his mental force fluctuated violently, and his entire being felt as if he were in a volcano.
His skin began to turn pure cyan, and faint pure cyan flame patterns could be seen circulating on his body surface, repeating this cycle.
Time became blurred in the pain.
After an unknown period, the Qing Lian Earth Core Fire within his body finally began to converge, and the violent energy gradually became docile.
"Qing Lian Earth Core Fire, successfully devoured!"
Fang Yang felt the surging energy of the Qing Lian Earth Core Fire within his body.
