Chapter 5815
At the end of the plaza stood the majestic and mysterious Chaos Crystal Tower, enveloped in dense Chaos Origin Fire.
Beneath its base, the Chaos Origin Fire was at its most concentrated, almost flowing in a liquid state.
The Chaos Origin Fire around Kai was also at its most intense, and the Chaos Fire Lotus within his dantian trembled slightly with excitement.
He stretched out his hand, his palm covered in solidified Chaos Origin Fire, and gently pressed it against the tower’s incredibly thick, mysteriously patterned Chaos Crystal Gate.
“Buzz—!”
The Chaos Origin Fire on the gate seemed to come alive, emitting a joyful hum, parting like flowing water to reveal a complex, lotus-shaped three-dimensional groove in the center.
Every detail of the groove perfectly matched the shape of the Chaos Fire Lotus within his dantian!
Without any prompting, Kai focused his mind on his dantian, and the Chaos Fire Lotus, now with a clearly defined outline, trembled slightly, releasing a wisp of its purest primordial energy.
It was a small, faint yet incredibly dazzling cluster of chaotic flames, flowing along his meridians into his palm, and then slowly pouring into the lotus-shaped groove.
“Click…click-click…”
A series of crisp, melodious sounds, like the divine pronouncements of the Great Dao, rang out.
The chaotic crystal gate, heavy as a mountain and seemingly isolating from countless ages, slowly and solemnly opened before Kai.
From the crack in the gate, there was no blinding light, but rather a warm, inclusive, maternal-like chaotic luster, and an indescribable, intimate, and vast ancient aura.
Without the slightest hesitation, Kai stepped forward, his figure disappearing into the chaotic luster and vanishing from the crystal tower.
In the distance, Ling Yan’s divine sense watched the slowly opening crystal tower gate—the one that even the Fire Demon Lord had solemnly warned him against trespassing—and Kai’s unhindered entry. He stood frozen, as if a statue, unable to recover for a long time.
Finally, facing the crystal tower, he concealed all his aura, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to the ground with the utmost solemnity.
He knew that the secret and duty he had guarded for thousands of years had perhaps finally met its destined master today.
And he was witnessing a legend that would shake the heavens and the myriad realms, officially setting sail from this place.
As Kai’s figure completely disappeared into the warm light flowing from the chaotic crystal tower’s gate, he seemed to have crossed some kind of temporal and spatial boundary, stepping into a strange space entirely constructed of “fire” and “the Dao.”
The tower was not a hall or room as imagined, but a boundless, yet seemingly all-encompassing, chaotic void.
In the void, there was no distinction between up, down, left, or right, only countless flickering, multicolored flame runes and threads of law, slowly rotating, flowing, and intertwining like a galaxy.
These runes and threads formed countless forms of flame—as small as a candle flame, as large as a star;
as gentle as a warm current, as violent as a thunderbolt;
born like a tender sprout just beginning to bloom, extinguished like embers scattering… like a living encyclopedia of the universe about “fire.”
At the center of the void, suspended, was a ball of the most solid and brilliant chaotic light source.
The light source, seemingly still, was in fact undergoing countless cycles of birth and death every moment, radiating an indescribable aura of antiquity, vastness, intimacy, and majesty.
It was the core of this Blazing Fire Secret Realm, the true core imprint of that fragment of “Chaotic Origin Fire,” something the Blazing Fire Demon Lord desired but could not obtain.
The moment Kai stepped into this place, the nascent Chaotic Fire Lotus within his dantian resonated most strongly with the chaotic light source!
Without guidance, the fire lotus flew out of his dantian on its own, hovering above his head, slowly rotating, scattering chaotic light.
The chaotic light source at the center of the void seemed to have found its home, separating a gentle yet incredibly pure stream of chaotic light, like a bridge, connecting with the fire lotus above Kai’s head.
“Buzz—!”
A vast and boundless flow of information, mixed with unimaginably powerful chaotic fire essence, surged wildly into Kai’s body along this bridge of light!
This was no longer the relatively coarse, refined energy of the outer chaotic sea of fire, but the most primordial and purest essence of “Chaotic Dao Fire”!
Every wisp contained the complete mysteries of fire-based laws.
Kai’s sea of consciousness was instantly filled with golden flame runes and a torrent of profound Daoist rhymes.
At the same time, the massive amount of chaotic Dao Fire essence was absorbed by the Chaotic Fire Lotus without any hindrance.
The fire lotus grew, solidified, and bloomed at a speed visible to the naked eye! The petals became real from illusory, clear from blurry, and each petal naturally displayed intricate and profound chaotic patterns, as if recording the epic history of fire since the beginning of time.
At the center of the fire lotus, a dazzlingly bright chaotic lotus seed phantom was slowly gestating.
Under the infusion of this primordial inheritance and the baptism of the supreme Daoist rhyme, Kai’s cultivation began its second, even more rapid leap!
The barrier of the peak of the eighth rank of the Human Immortal Realm melted away silently, like the remaining snow under the spring breeze.
Ninth rank of the Human Immortal Realm!
Breakthrough!
Moreover, the momentum of the breakthrough did not diminish but rather increased! The essence of the Chaos Dao Fire seemed inexhaustible, and the growth of the Chaos Fire Lotus seemed endless.
Early Ninth Rank… Mid-Ninth Rank… Late Ninth Rank…
Finally, the surging momentum only gradually subsided and stabilized when it touched upon a colossal chasm existing in the darkness, separating Human Immortals from Celestial Immortals.
Peak of the Ninth Rank of Human Immortal!
Only one step away from the Celestial Immortal Realm, which signifies truly entering the ranks of high-level cultivators and undergoing the first qualitative change in one’s life level!
