CHAPTER 235: CHAPTER 149: OBSERVING IN SECRET (PART 3)

Right now, Ye Qingzhou is able to freely acquire such a Divine Skill, which truly makes one feel extremely excited just thinking about it.

"When do we start learning? I’m already impatient."

"We can start now, follow me."

"Alright."

Ye Qingzhou didn’t hesitate and followed Xing Tian’s residual spirit to go receive the inheritance.

Soon, the two arrived at a deserted valley.

Throughout the valley were exposed mineral veins, filled with metallic Qi, and at the core, there was a Bronze Cauldron, with flames soaring to the sky from inside.

This fire never extinguished throughout the years, burning for thousands of ages, yet it still constantly releases boundless light and boundless heat, truly miraculous.

"This place is the Heaven and Earth Furnace, and the Celestial Human Casting Technique you want is recorded in the "Celestial Casting Scripture."

Xing Tian’s residual spirit pointed at a Jade Scroll on the ground, turning his back to Ye Qingzhou, with a strange smile at the corner of his mouth as he spoke: "Inside the cauldron burns the Six Ding Divine Flame, you can try to absorb and refine it."

Ye Qingzhou, however, did not rush to practice but asked: "The inheritance of Flame Emperor has three parts, the "Celestial Casting Scripture" documenting the Celestial Human Casting Technique is just one; what are the other two items, can you inform me a little?"

"Hmm?"

Xing Tian’s residual spirit’s tone turned slightly cold: "Why are you asking about these?"

"Can’t I ask?"

Ye Qingzhou looked at Xing Tian’s residual spirit with a smile that was not quite a smile, clearly indicating he had implied meaning, not trusting him.

Xing Tian’s residual spirit displayed a solemn expression, patiently replied: "The inheritance methods of the Flame Emperor are three. The first is the "Flame Sun Treasure Seal" which governs all fires under heaven. The second records the properties of countless Immortal Ganoderma and numerous Pill formulas in "Shennong’s Materia Medica." The third is the "Celestial Casting Scripture" which I’m about to teach you now."

"I see."

Ye Qingzhou revealed an understanding look and then suddenly changed the subject: "So you intentionally didn’t mention the "Flame Sun Treasure Seal" and tricked me into the Heaven and Earth Furnace to attempt to refine the Six Ding Divine Flame in the cauldron? Without proper methods, am I refining the Six Ding Divine Flame, or being refined by it?"

In a word, the mystery was unveiled, the originally harmonious and friendly atmosphere vanished in an instant.

"Why... can’t you just play the fool?"

Xing Tian’s residual spirit now dropped the act, revealing his true form with a sinister grin on his lips: "Now that you are in the Heaven and Earth Furnace, what does it matter even if you see through it?"

As these words were spoken, both sides completely tore off their masks.

Suddenly, the Six Ding Divine Flame within the Bronze Cauldron surged high. The temperature was not scorching, yet it possessed the strange ability to refine all things in the world.

Whether tangible or intangible, the Six Ding Divine Flame could refine them all!

Only Xing Tian’s residual spirit displayed a fanatical smile, and when looking at Ye Qingzhou, his gaze emitted a wild flame: "The Golden Body is immortal, the Grand Emperor undying, your body is the most perfect Dao-Bearing Artifact in this world. As long as I refine you, I will break free from the Imperial Mausoleum’s restraints and achieve true great freedom!"

The Six Ding Divine Flame, under Xing Tian’s manipulation, began to refine Ye Qingzhou’s physical body, aiming to use the Celestial Human Casting Technique to forge Ye Qingzhou into an Unparalleled Divine Weapon!

Facing imminent doom, Ye Qingzhou seemed not at all anxious; instead, with an air of leisurely calm, he teased Xing Tian’s residual spirit with words: "Oh, you are so outstanding, does Flame Emperor know it?"

"Hmph! Don’t mention that old fool to me! He made me guard his gate for ten thousand years and asked me to select his heirs, why couldn’t I learn his Divine Techniques?"

"How is there such a reason under heaven!"

Xing Tian’s residual spirit showed an indignant expression, his heart’s rage burning fiercely from the unjust and resentful thoughts: "I have contributed to the Shennong Clan, I have shed blood for the Shennong Clan, why can’t I?"

"I am not satisfied!"

Although just a residual spirit, this shout filled with fiery hate provoked erupting ground fire, and thunder shook the sky.

Such a Spiritual Realm already contained a portion of the Mental Imagery Ability of a Martial Saint.

Were it an ordinary person, they might really be deceived by Xing Tian’s residual spirit.

However, Ye Qingzhou, who had self-realized the Twenty-Four God Existence Visualization Technique, deeply understood that a Divine Split and one’s true self are completely different matters.

Just like a thought or an idea of a person, does it represent the person themselves?

Appearing before Ye Qingzhou, this Xing Tian was not the real Xing Tian; the other was merely a residual spirit cut off by Xing Tian, stationed here to guard the inheritance of the Flame Emperor.

Just like a First Rank intelligent program.

Therefore, Ye Qingzhou was dismissive of Xing Tian’s residual spirit’s shouts and resentment: "You are just a residual spirit divided by Xing Tian, the merits were Xing Tian’s, the toil was Xing Tian’s, what does it have to do with you?"

These words obviously struck at the sore spot of Xing Tian’s residual spirit, provoking him to anger: "Shut up!"

With Xing Tian’s residual spirit’s roar, the Six Ding Divine Flame within the Bronze Cauldron shot up to the sky again, raising the temperature of the entire valley to the extent that the metallic mineral veins throughout began melting into the liquid state, slowly flowing toward the center.

"Hmph, no matter how much you can engage in verbal arguments, today you will definitely be refined by me!"

Xing Tian’s residual spirit revealed a cruel smile; his desire for freedom and covetousness for the Flame Emperor’s inheritance had surpassed everything, unwilling to even obey orders given by Flame Emperor and Xing Tian.

"What residual spirit, from today onwards, I am the new Xing Tian! No, I want to become the new Flame Emperor! To establish a new Shennong Clan!"

The arrogant laughter echoed throughout the valley.

"Laughable, pathetic."

Ye Qingzhou’s form appeared outside the valley, standing proudly on a mountain peak.

He was using a disdainful gaze, in a condescending posture, contemptuously looking down at Xing Tian’s residual spirit, with a tone full of scorn: "Just relying on you, are you worthy to compare with the Flame Emperor and Xing Tian?"

Xing Tian’s residual spirit showed an astonished expression: "Impossible, you clearly entered the formation!"

"Are you sure that was me?"

Ye Qingzhou coldly laughed, and subsequently, the ’Ye Qingzhou’ within the Heaven and Earth Furnace transformed into a mass of pure Martial Arts True Qi, though it carried Ye Qingzhou’s will and aura, even containing a split piece of Ye Qingzhou’s "Divine Split."

But clearly, this was an Illusion, not Ye Qingzhou himself.

Yin Mirage Dragon, Deceit!

From beginning to end, Ye Qingzhou had never believed in the Xing Tian’s residual spirit before him, and thus, he used a split spirit to travel with him while his true self was hidden in the shadows, observing.
