Chapter 5813
“The Primordial Chaos Fire… the very essence of fire…” Kai murmured, repeating these two words, a barely perceptible glint of light flashing deep within his eyes.
The long-dormant primordial space within his body trembled slightly, on its own!
A faint yet incredibly pure heat, seemingly originating from the very beginning of creation, quietly spread, resonating with the mysterious fire elemental energy of the secret realm that touched his pores.
This feeling was both familiar and strange, as if a dormant bloodline was being awakened.
Kai remained expressionless, nodding slightly to Ling Yan: “Thank you for your frankness, Sword Master. I will remember it.”
In the following days, everyone found unprecedented peace and recovery in this safe oasis created by Kai’s divine power.
The pure and gentle fire elemental energy within the secret realm, combined with the nourishment of the miraculous spring, the pills provided by Kai, and his occasional use of pure immortal power to unblock the meridians of the seriously injured, resulted in miraculous healing effects.
The gruesome wound on Lie Tian’s chest, still bearing traces of demonic energy, was healing, scabbing over, and peeling away at a visible speed, revealing new flesh.
His pale complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, his weakened aura grew stronger day by day, and the damaged meridians within his body were slowly but steadily repairing themselves under the dual nourishment of gentle fire spirit energy and life essence.
He even felt that, after this ordeal and the tempering of the secret realm environment, the bottleneck in his cultivation, which had stagnated for many years, was beginning to loosen.
Ling Shuang’s recovery speed was even more astonishing.
She cultivated top-tier fire-based techniques, making her extremely compatible with the environment here.
After sitting quietly by the spiritual spring for three days, not only were her internal injuries completely healed, but her sword heart, which had been somewhat dimmed due to the forced activation of her sword technique,
became even more clear and refined under the cleansing of pure fire spirit energy and the invisible nourishment of Kai’s profound “Daoist charm,” and her cultivation showed a faint tendency to advance further.
Her feelings towards Kai had evolved from initial disdain to shock and awe, subtly incorporating a complex and indescribable curiosity and concern that even she herself couldn’t fully grasp.
Shi Yan and Ying Wu, whose injuries weren’t the most severe to begin with, recovered the fastest and were already moving normally, becoming invaluable assistants to the Lietian management team.
Most of the other Wan Shou Men disciples had also stabilized their injuries; those with lower cultivation levels even benefited from the misfortune, progressing several times faster in this blessed land than outside.
Kai, meanwhile, seemed to be casually strolling through the secret realm these past few days.
He wasn’t in a hurry to reach the core area warned by Ling Yan, but instead explored outwards along the edge of the safe zone, carefully sensing every rhythm of this fiery primordial world.
He stepped across a slowly flowing, golden stream of true solar fire; the water was scorching hot, but it automatically parted when his toes touched the surface, transforming into two gentle streams of fire that circled around him, as if welcoming a monarch.
He ascended a low mountain entirely composed of “Earth Core Flame Jade,” where a cluster of eternally flickering flames, shaped like a Vermilion Bird,
spontaneously separated a tiny flame, which drifted to his palm, affectionately nuzzled his fingers, and then transformed into a pure fire spirit that entered his body, nourishing his chaotic immortal power.He tried to approach a group of “fire spirits” frolicking in the fiery mushroom forest. These newly awakened creatures, instead of fleeing, curiously gathered around him, emitting subtle, melodious sounds like the tinkling of wind chimes, as if communicating with him.
He even observed a ten-zhang-tall “lava giant” sleeping in the distance, its heart containing a core of ever-changing flames pulsating rhythmically, the fluctuations subtly harmonizing with a deep rhythm of the entire secret realm.
All of this was observed by Ling Yan, who had been keeping a sliver of his attention focused on him. His shock and doubt grew wildly.
He became increasingly certain that Kai was no ordinary immortal cultivator!
His affinity and control over fire transcended mere talent or possession of extraordinary treasures; it was more like… a resonance and a high-level suppression originating from the very essence of life!
“Could he truly possess some kind of ‘source of ultimate fire’ within him? Otherwise, how can one explain the affinity with all fires?”
Ling Yan’s heart surged with turmoil, and a bold yet chilling thought surfaced: “Could it be… that he truly has some connection with Senior Brother, or even with Master?”
That day, Kai wandered aimlessly, finally arriving at the deepest part of the secret realm, the edge of what Ling Yan had sternly warned him about as an absolute forbidden zone.
The scene before him made even the well-informed Kai hold his breath slightly.
This place seemed to be the heart of the entire world of fire, or perhaps the location of its wound.
No longer were the relatively orderly fiery mountains and rivers, but a vast and boundless “chaotic sea of fire,” entirely composed of the most primal and violent divine fires of all kinds!
The sea of fire stretched endlessly, as far as the eye could see, a raging, boiling inferno.
The crimson “Heaven-Burning Flames” roared like dragons, scorching the space in their wake with blackened marks;
the golden “Solar Essence Flames” were dazzling, yet carried the extreme heat of purifying and annihilating everything;
the purple “Purple Heaven Thunderfire” snaked like a serpent, crackling and exploding with an aura of divine punishment;
the pale white “Bone Spirit Cold Flames” burned silently, icy cold yet capable of freezing the soul;
and then there were the pitch-black “Void Devouring Flames,” seemingly capable of devouring all light, heat, and matter, forming dangerous vortexes in the sea of fire…
Countless terrifying flames, seen only in legends or even existing only in theory, intertwined, collided, merged, and annihilated here in a chaotic yet seemingly deeper order.
Explosions, howls, crackles, hisses… all sorts of sounds mingled into a raging symphony of destruction.
