Chapter 689: Chapter 417: The Path of Learning Array

    Three days later, on Earth Flame Island,

    in the Indeterminate Star Cave,

    Zhao Sheng clasped his hands to form a Seal Mantra, sitting crossed-legged amidst pillars of fire, with a huge Star Core beneath him slowly rotating, emitting invisible gravitational waves that caused the piercing red light enveloping the celestial body to tremble incessantly.

    Surrounding the Star Core were the Six Great True Fire Balls, each shooting out a massive flame pillar as thick as a water bucket, converging on the core’s surface and whipping up vast waves of fire that were azure, red, white, or black, boiling tumultuously.

    As the fiery waves surged and raged, a brilliantly luminous and dazzling golden airflow kept flowing and drifting among different waves of fire. With every refinement by the True Fire, fine impurities were expelled from the golden airflow, then instantly consumed by the True Fire until nothing remained.

    After an indeterminate number of cycles through the True Fire’s refinement, the golden airflow had shrunk into extremely fine Drifting Threads of presence, bizarre in nature, seeming both gaseous and liquid, yet unmatched in sharpness.

    Zhao Sheng suddenly clenched his Seal Mantra. His Divine Thought, like a tempest, swept over the surface of the Star Core. In the blink of an eye, wisps of Innate Gold Essence rose from the flames, shooting upward and disappearing without a trace into the depths of his sleeve.

    The next second, Zhao Sheng’s figure also disappeared from the Indeterminate Star Cave.

    Deep in the cave mansion, in a Cultivation Room lined with Mystic Iron on the floor, its walls inscribed with mysterious runes and enveloped by layers of Barriers, a tall figure garbed in a Red Gold Taoist Robe suddenly appeared at the center of the chamber quite abruptly.

    With a thought, a ball of golden light suddenly flew from his Dantian into the air, and with a swift spin, it transformed into a huge Golden Sphere over a zhang in height, which was the Hundred Flames Tripod.

    Zhao Sheng sat down cross-legged, his forehead suddenly bursting with vast Divine Thought, turning the dim chamber as bright as if countless Electric Lights were shattering the darkness.

    Hum hum!

    The Hundred Flames Tripod suddenly began to rotate rapidly, casting a broad swath of dazzling golden light.

    Zhao Sheng’s eyes shone with Divine Light as he watched the Hundred Flames Tripod unwaveringly, his “gaze” penetrating the golden walls of the Magical Treasure to see the empty spherical space inside.

    With a thought, two masses of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire instantly flew into the spherical space.

    The Spiritual Fire was white and red, the white chilling to the bone, known as the Extreme Cold Flame, while the red, viscous one was none other than the Earth Heart Spirit Flame.

    Within the Fire Chamber, the two masses of Spiritual Fire were like two Meteors trailing long flames, racing around the outer wall of the space in opposite directions, their speed accelerating with the prompt of Divine Thought.

    In an instant, Zhao Sheng’s gaze sharpened, and the two masses of Spirit Flame suddenly rushed to the center of the Fire Chamber, colliding head-on.

    A loud boom echoed as both Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fires exploded at once, their blinding light expanding rapidly and instantly filling the entire spherical Fire Chamber. Sear?h the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    At that very moment, the smooth mirror-like surface made of Bright Crystal also reflected the entire process of the two Spiritual Fires colliding and exploding.

    Zhao Sheng was delighted to discover countless subtle changes happening throughout this process—changes beyond description.

    Because there were too many changes, and the process was too brief, Zhao Sheng could only capture a fraction of it, perhaps less than one percent of all the variables.

    But he was still very excited.

    Zhao Sheng worried not about a lack of new discoveries but feared not having enough variables to study.

    Soon, two more masses of Extreme Cold Flame and Earth Heart Spirit Flame were launched into the Fire Chamber, commencing a new round of collision tests.

    Boom!

    Boom!

    The Hundred Flames Tripod hummed and trembled continuously, yet the golden light it radiated grew ever more brilliant and captivating.

    Just then, a Jade Scroll appeared in Zhao Sheng’s palm. His surging Divine Thought poured into it, imprinting a myriad of information about the counter-collision tests of the Spiritual Fire, along with his various insights and realizations.

    Knowledge is priceless!

    This secret knowledge of the Fire Dao Law was the most precious legacy that Zhao Sheng left for future generations.

    Only through continuous advancement along the path he had paved, constantly innovating, could his descendants reach higher and further.

    Centuries later, when Zhao Sheng was reborn, he naturally would benefit from the legacy left by his ancestors, allowing himself to cultivate to even greater realms.

    The ancients had a saying: “One generation plants the trees, and another gets the shade.” That was exactly the idea.

    …

    Half a month passed in a flash.

    Zhao Sheng calmly stepped out of the Cultivation Room, then called for a meeting in the Chongming Hall with the two family Golden Cores in charge of the island. After listening to their reports and dealing with various affairs both big and small,

    upon learning that the development of the passageway was proceeding exceptionally well, Zhao Sheng was able to let go of his worries.

    He then instructed them to look after Earth Flame Island and delegated most of his powers to them before sending them away.

    Zhao Sheng took a half-day tour of Earth Flame Island, and seeing that everyone was living and working in peace and harmony, he felt greatly comforted.

    So, after making just a brief appearance, Zhao Sheng soon used seclusion as a pretext to quietly leave Earth Flame Island.

    …

    Above the Quadruple Cloud Sea and southwest of Heavenly Pillar Mountain was a cliffside that had been carved into a terraced field dug into the face of the cliff. At the top of the terraced plot were two grey stone towers, with a cave partially visible behind them.

    Beneath the terraced plot, spanning three to four mu, was a Medicine Field thriving with numerous thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines. Next to the field were four imposing Spirit Trees sparsely adorned with bizarre Spirit Fruits.

    A hundred zhang away from the terraced plot in midair stood Zhao Sheng, gazing at the plot with a profound look. He was positioned above the Hundred Flames Tripod, surrounded by swirling light.

    “Go!”

    After a light shout, a red Fireball suddenly shot out from inside the Hundred Flames Tripod, racing towards the terraced field at high speed.

    Boom!

    As the red flame reached the airspace above the terraced field, a faint layer of White Light suddenly emerged, blocking the red flame’s path, which immediately erupted into a vast Fire Sea.

    The Earth Heart Spirit Flame, acting like a living entity, stuck to the White Light Restriction and hissed as it burned non-stop.
