Chapter 187: The Indestructible Sacred Flame

  After dinner, Lin Ming took out another kind of wound medicine and sprinkled it on Nai's back. Under the joint action of the two kinds of wound medicine, Nai's injury healed in less than two hours, without leaving a single scar.

  Nai's top was completely torn off, revealing a glimpse of spring light. Lin Ming took out another piece of clothing from the Susu Ring and put it on Nai.

  At this time, Lin Ming asked Nai: "Do you know if there is any strange flame or strange thunder in the south? For example..."

  Lin Ming's hand stretched out, and a dark red flame suddenly burst forth in his palm. The flames were like the petals of a red lotus flower.

  Nai was shocked in her heart, a flame like a flower petal, she saw it for the first time!

  Although it was only an egg-sized spark, the heat wave that rushed towards her forced her to retreat several steps, and one can imagine the temperature of this flame.

  Moreover, in the previous fight with the monkey-faced man, this young man did not use such flames at all, that is to say, he still had a trick up his sleeve.

  The Easy Muscle Period was at its peak in terms of bone training, and with one against two, it didn't even require full strength. Naiyi felt that it was unimaginable, the young man in front of her was too terrifying.

  Hmmm... wait, how about Lin Ming's cultivation...

  Nai's eyes widened, and suddenly she couldn't sense Lin Ming's cultivation base. Generally, for a martial artist in the Body Tempering stage, including most acquired martial artists, it was difficult to conceal the true yuan within their body, making it easy to discern their cultivation level. When true yuan entered the viscera, that was the Viscera Training stage; when true yuan entered the bones, that was the Bone Forging stage.

  Even some warriors, with an aura like a wolf's smoke rolling around their body, make ordinary people who don't understand martial arts feel their strength.

  Only some cultivators who have reached the realm of Returning to Innocence can hide their cultivation by concentrating their true yuan in their body. For example, postnatal peak warriors like Qinzijia with strong strength, or real innate warriors.

  They usually deliberately restrain their aura. They are the same as ordinary people. Only those with higher cultivation than them can see their strengths and weaknesses.

  Now on Lin Ming's body, the true yuan fluctuated slightly, if not for Nai knowing that Lin Ming was a martial artist, she would really think he was a beginner who had just started practicing martial arts and hadn't even reached the first stage of foundation building.

  "Mulin, your cultivation... how did you..."

  Lin Ming was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood Nai's confusion. He had also just discovered that after absorbing the Inverse Scale blood, his True Essence began to undergo some strange changes.

  Lin Ming, whether it was cultivating the Chaotic True Yuan Technique or ingesting Blood Lingzhi to increase his qi and blood energy, or relying on the Evil God Seed to compress his true yuan.

  All of this is just a quantitative change in the true yuan, making the true yuan more refined, thicker, or compressing the density of the true yuan.

  The essence of truth is unchanging.

  But this time, Lin Ming accidentally merged the Inverse Scale blood, and his true yuan underwent a qualitative change. This transformation was not sudden, but rather occurred gradually over time.

  Lin Ming couldn't say for sure what this change would bring, but he could roughly confirm that it would definitely have enormous benefits. After all, the Inverse Scale Blood was something that even the powerful beings of the Divine Realm coveted, and the true dragon's bloodline was naturally much better than a mortal's.

  Due to the qualitative change of Zhenyuan, Lin Ming found that his control over Zhenyuan became stronger and stronger. In the process of trying to control Zhenyuan, he unconsciously retracted all the aura in his body, achieving an effect similar to that of returning to the realm of simplicity.

  A cultivator like Ruan Yi in the Foundation Establishment stage couldn't see through Lin Ming's cultivation at all.

  Lin Ming smiled slightly, no longer holding back his aura, and his true yuan spread out. The cultivation of the peak of Bone Forging immediately appeared.

  Nai's eyes widened as she took a deep breath, remembering clearly that when Lin Ming first entered the Witch God Tower, he was only at the initial stage of Easy Tendon, but after entering the Divine Realm, he had actually risen to the peak of Tempering Bone, a full one and a half realm promotion. What exactly did Lin Ming experience during these seven days and nights?

  Why did Naiyaranda stay inside for only a few hours, while Lin Ming stayed for seven days?

  "You've reached the peak of tempered bones so quickly..."

  "Hmm, had a bit of an adventure in the Divine Country, got lucky and broke through. What about that strange flame I mentioned earlier, is it found in the Southern Border?" Lin Ming continued to ask his previous question.

  Nai was still wondering why Lin Ming could hide his cultivation, and it wasn't until he heard Lin Ming's question that she snapped out of her daze and stopped her wild thoughts. She said: "There should be, the Huo Chi tribe has fire as their totem, their tribe has a legacy of sacred fire, which is said to be indestructible and is controlled by the successive Shamans. I don't know if this flame counts as the strange flame you're talking about."

  "What? Immortal?"

  Lin Ming was shocked in his heart, and the truly indestructible flame was only one kind, that is, the Fire Essence!

  "The legacy of the Huǒ Zuì tribe is actually a fire essence! However, that thing is controlled by the successive leaders, it's very difficult to get it!"

  "What is the strength of the Huo Chi tribe's leader?" Lin Ming asked.

  "It's unclear." Nai clenched her teeth slightly as she mentioned the leader of the Huo Chi tribe. In the past, the Huo Chi tribe had launched a large-scale invasion of the Nai tribe, and the Nai tribe's shaman had fought against the Huo Chi tribe's expert, ultimately dying at the hands of the Huo Chi tribe's leader!

  "Hmm? You have a grudge against Huo Zhe's Palm Teachings too?" Lin Ming asked, noticing Nai's unusual expression.

  Nai Yi's voice was filled with hatred: "Hu Chi Zhang Jiao killed our Master and the Shaman of our Nai clan."

  "Oh? Haven't you thought of revenge?"

  "I've thought about it, but it's too far-fetched. My master is already at the early stage of post-heaven cultivation, but he still isn't a match for Huo Qi's Fire Palm."

  "Is that so......" Lin Ming fell silent for a moment, this Sect Master's strength should be at least mid-stage Post-Heaven, mid-stage Post-Heaven, this cultivation level is comparable to Mu Yi!

  And Tianyun Country is a big country with tens of millions of people, not counting the Seven Xuanwu Sects, truly native-born post-heavenly martial artists, there are only about ten or so, and in Nanjiang's Huo Chi tribe, with a population of just over 10 million, there is actually one mid-term post-heavenly martial artist.

  "The people of Tianyun Country all say that the southern border is the Southern Barbarian, but unexpectedly, the southern border has a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. This is probably because of the legendary witch god, who left behind many relics and legacies after breaking through the void. Moreover, the southern border is full of fierce beasts, and martial artists have been in danger for a long time, which also makes it easier to increase their strength."

  "In a mid-term match and more, especially in the Fire Tribe where experts are numerous, I won't be able to defeat him in a short period of time."

  Lin Ming had passed the sixth layer of the Divine Messenger Realm, seemingly defeating a top-notch post-heaven cultivator. However, that was just a trick, dragging down the patience of that post-heaven cultivator and making him suffer a great loss.

  Although he was at a disadvantage, it wasn't a defeat. If the eye mask hadn't appeared and the two continued to fight, Lin Ming would probably still have lost.

  Lin Ming's current strength can at most surpass one boundary and kill the peak of the Congenital Realm, but if he were to surpass half a boundary, it would be impossible.

  Facing a true post-heavenly early-stage martial artist, Lin Ming could only manage to defend himself.

  "With a postnatal mid-term warrior in charge, it's impossible to extinguish the sacred fire for now, so we'll just have to wait until later. It doesn't matter if we don't take the Fire Essence temporarily, what's more important is the Thunder Spirit."

  After absorbing the pseudo-fire essence in Huo Gong's body, the fire essence in Xie Shen Zhongzi has increased a lot, but Lei Ling is somewhat weak. What Lin Ming urgently needs now is to enhance Lei Ling with special lightning.

  When combined, the power of Thunderfire Strike will increase by a large margin.

  Lin Ming asked: "Miss Nai, do you know where in Nanjiang there is a special kind of lightning? Like this one..."

  Lin Ming stretched out a finger, and a fine thread of electricity suddenly jumped out from the tip of his finger, constantly rotating around Lin Ming's finger, like a spiritual snake.

  Nai's eyelid twitched as she looked at him, unaware of how many more secrets Lin Ming had.

  "I'm not sure about special lightning."

  "Is that so......" Lin Ming felt a bit disappointed. Indeed, the naturally occurring variant lightning was less than the strange flame.

  At this time, Nai suddenly said: "Although I didn't expect the special thunder and lightning you mentioned, but I know that deep in the south of the border, there is a Thunderbolt Mountain. On Thunderbolt Mountain, there are many Thunderbolt Lizards, they can spit blue and white lightning, very fierce. On Thunderbolt Mountain, there is a kind of Thunderbolt Grass, which is worth a lot if it's over 100 years old. Even later-stage masters don't dare to go up the mountain rashly, at most they just pick some around the foot of the mountain. I wonder if that place will have the special thunder and lightning you mentioned."

  "Thunderbolt Grass?"

  Lin Ming's heart moved slightly, and he became somewhat interested in the Thunderbolt Grass. However, he didn't know what else was on Thunderbolt Mountain, but since even top masters didn't dare to rashly ascend the mountain, there must be other dangers present.

  Lin Mingdao said: "I know, let's go out now."

  "Oh..." Nai responded with a murmur, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Mulin... what did you encounter when you entered the divine country connected to the Witch God Tower? Which level of the divine country did you break through?"

  She had been curious for a long time, but felt it would be impolite to ask, so she never spoke up.

  Lin Ming smiled, "Oh? You also know that the Divine Realm is divided into several layers?"

  "Uh-huh, it's recorded in the classics that there are seven layers in total, with the God of Witch's Eye guarding them. You've been gone for so long, did you reach the fifth layer?"

  Nai felt that Lin Ming was more and more unfathomable, since he had stayed in the Divine Realm for seven days and seven nights, he should have gone further than Nanyue, perhaps like the Feather Emperor six thousand years ago, he also went to the fifth layer...

  Thinking of this, Nai felt a little afraid to think further, that was Yu Huang, a legendary figure, whose cultivation had already surpassed the pre-heavenly stage and established the Nanjiang Empire, which was not inferior to a third-grade sect.

  At that time, the masters of Zhongtu would lose their courage when they heard the name of Yu Huang. Later, Yu Huang was revered as a demigod in Nanjiang and became the spiritual faith of the people of Nanjiang. Even Nai's master, the shaman of the Nai tribe, would speak of Yu Huang with great respect. During the tribal ceremonies, they would also worship at Yu Huang's shrine.

  Lin Ming, if he's on par with that person, doesn't that mean that in the future, he'll also become a divine being, and his own strength might break through to the Innate Realm? What kind of height would that be... Is he witnessing the growth of an unparalleled master?!
