Chapter Fifty: Drawing Fire into the Body
"You little scoundrel, I'm really furious with you!" Xuan Tianba rebuked with a resentful expression at the entrance of a fiery cave in Beast God Mountain.
Zhang Huaming's face was solemn as he said, "I appreciate your kind intentions, Master. But forced relationships are not sweet. Please forgive me."
"Can't you see the danger in igniting the Fire Pulse? If you were to cultivate with that girl, your chances of success would be at least 90%! And yet, you're giving up on such a high probability and choosing to enter the Fire Pulse alone. Do you even know what the consequences are if you fail to ignite the fire into your body?"
"Understood." Zhang Huaming responded with a calm expression, naturally understanding his master's good intentions. If he failed to ignite the fire and build the flame meridian, at best, his cultivation would drop by one level, and at worst, his meridians would be severed and his cultivation would be completely lost.
"You little rascal." Xuan Tianba started pacing back and forth on the mountain top, his face filled with anxiety. After a moment, he spoke up: "Since you won't follow my method to ignite your inner energy, then wait for a bit, I'll think of another way."
"No, Master, I'll choose this method." Zhang Huaming said with a resolute expression.
"You little rascal, although it's said that using a non-combined method can build multiple attribute meridians, but since ancient times, no one has been able to withstand building multiple meridians. Are you trying to break this historical record?" Xuan Tianba said with an angry face, although he had only known Zhang Huaming for just over a year, the talent that Zhang Huaming showed made him really like him, and he absolutely believed that if Zhang Huaming followed his plan to cultivate, his future achievements would definitely surpass his own.
"Please help me complete it."
"Get out, you bastard."
"Thank you, Master." Zhang Huaming bowed to Xuan Tianba and then turned around and jumped into the scorching mountain cave.
Scorching, extremely scorching, extremely sweltering. After Zhang Huaming jumped into the cave, he felt as if he had entered a hot pot. The clothes on his body surface instantly turned to ashes, and his skin instantly became bright red.
"Ah!" Zhang Huaming's teeth were clenched so tightly they creaked, and his skin was already seeping with beads of blood.
One meter...
Ten meters...
Fifty meters...
Whoosh! A green light appeared around Zhang Huaming's body, sixty meters away. He had to release his true energy to protect himself. If he didn't release it, he absolutely believed that within a few breaths, he would be suffocated by the heat of the flame cave or burned into ashes.
Bang! Zhang Huaming's feet finally landed on the ground of the Flame Cave.
It's hot! Too hot! Even Zhang Huaming, who had the protection of true energy, couldn't withstand the temperature in the Flame Cave. He roughly estimated that the current temperature around him was absolutely above several thousand degrees. This was still the outer periphery of the Flame Cave, as he was currently standing on a platform outside a dissolution cave. In front of him was a red passageway, which had been roasted to its current color by the flames.
Zhang Huaming pondered for a moment, and the next instant, he sat cross-legged, starting to cultivate the Fire Entry Decision as taught by his master.
Tianlong Peak, the highest mountain peak in the southern part of the Martial Continent. It is said that this mountain peak was formed from the body of a true dragon that fell during the ancient era. This mountain peak is most famous because the headquarters of the Tian Family, one of the five major families on the Martial Continent, is located here. As a result, rumors have made this mountain peak a place of fear in the Martial Continent.
At the top of the Tianlong Peak, the Heavenly King sat cross-legged with a furious expression. Sitting on either side of him were the master of the Heavenly Family, Tianfeng, and other high-ranking members of the family.
"Ancestor, that old fellow is really too overbearing, really too excessive. What's the difference between this bandit and him?" Tianfeng said with a face full of anger, completely ignoring that they seemed to be doing the same thing to the Yu family? It just so happened that they ran into Xuantianbiao, this super iron plate.
The Heavenly King's face turned gloomy as he heard his descendant's words, "Enough, Feng Er. That old fellow is not someone our Heavenly Family can afford to provoke. We'll swallow this anger for now and wait until I've cultivated the Heaven God's Decree to the eighth layer before settling accounts with him."
"Yes, ancestors." Tianfeng and others responded in unison.
"What about our ancestral family, what's going on with the bloodline?" Tianfeng asked, because in the Tian family, the Heavenly King had already spoken out.
"Blood House?" Tian Wang sneered and said: "Immediately gather the Tian Family's men and horses, prepare for battle."
Tianfeng heard his ancestor's words and his expression changed slightly: "Ancestor really wants to start a war? This..."
"Don't worry about them, they'll just sit back and watch the fight, absolutely won't get involved."
"Yes, our ancestors."
"Everyone get down!"
"Yes, ancestors."
In the back garden of a magnificent palace on the waist of Beast God Mountain, Yu Yan sat quietly alone in a pavilion, her hands propping up her chin as she gazed at the setting sun, with a contemplative expression.
Whoosh! A figure appeared in the backyard, and it was Yu Xiang's older brother, Yu Hu.
"What are you thinking about, little sister?" Yu Hu said with a hint of teasing on his face.
Yu Yan saw that the person who came was her older brother, and she put away the thoughts in her heart. A smile appeared on her face as she said: "Big brother, how did you come?"
"Hehe! Little sister, the situation outside is quite chaotic right now. Father has ordered all of us from Beast God Mountain to return, so for now, we have nothing better to do."
"Sister, tell big brother, have you fallen for that little guy?"
"No."
"Sister, your expression can tell me that you like that little boy, don't pretend anymore. Actually, if I really had to choose for you, I'd rather let you marry Zhang Huaming, at least this kid is more of a gentleman." Yu Hu said with an appreciative expression.
Yu Yan heard her big brother's words, and the scene of that battle outside the capital of Xia Guo appeared in her mind, especially Zhang Huaming's final crazy face, and a thread of emotion surged up in her heart.
Yu Hu saw the blush on his sister's face and smiled, saying: "Sister, one's own happiness is something that must be fought for! Big brother has a feeling, this guy will definitely become a strong person in the future. You should take advantage of him before he becomes strong, otherwise, there will be many rivals vying for him in the future!"
"Big brother, really?" Yu Yan heard her big brother say this and a worried expression appeared on her face.
"Really, little sister, think about it, this kid's master is not saying it but you also saw it, and how old is he? He already has the strength of a high-ranking Wu Zun, with such a master around, breaking through to Wu Shen is just a matter of time. Such a genius, if you don't grasp it now, where will you find another freak like this?" Yu Hu said, his tone filled with a sour taste. Having Wu Zun's strength at the age of twenty, how can one not be envious and admire?
Yu Yan heard her big brother's words and a multitude of flavors surged up in her heart, her mind was chaotic.
Yu Hu saw his little sister's dazed expression and knew that he had said all he needed to say. As for how his little sister would choose, it was her own decision. So he opened his mouth and said: "Little sister, big brother has said all he needs to say. How you choose is up to you, big brother will always support you. I'll go take care of something first."
"Yes, big brother."
