Chapter 272: Golden Flame Mirror and Sun Colored Glaze Flame

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Standing beside the rock flows, Junior Leopard drew out the Underground Fire Golden Essence and placed it next to him. Then he asked, “What’s next?”

“Get more Earth Fire Yuan Essence and put it into the Underground Fire Golden Essence!” Green Spirit said. “Remember the talisman formation that I’ve taught you? Just use that formation to lead the Earth Fire Yuan Essence into it!”

“Got it!” Not daring to neglect anything, Junior Leopard raised one hand, and the Black Sun Fist Intent appeared once more, drawing out all the Earth Fire Yuan Essence at the bottom of the earth-fire rock flows. Meanwhile, he stuck out the index finger of his other hand and sketched the outline of an abstruse talisman in the air. Though the talisman was drawn out of thin air, the peculiar phenomenon was that it did not disappear, but floated in the air. All the Earth Fire Yuan Essence began pouring into the Underground Fire Golden Essence along the talisman formation that Junior Leopard had drawn up, as if guided by some invisible force.

Two hours later, all of the Earth Fire Yuan Essence induced out by Junior Leopard’s fist intent had been sucked into the Underground Fire Golden Essence. Green Spirit squeaked hastily, “Hurry, use your Tusita Fire, use the power of the Purple Bright Heavenly Fire to dissolve this Underground Fire Golden Essence, and let it merge with the Earth Fire Yuan Essence, and then inscribe that talisman formation on it!”

Hearing this, Junior Leopard’s fingertips flared with Tusita Fire zooming out of them. Later, the Tusita Fire generated a wisp of purple glow, which shrouded the entire Underground Fire Golden Essence.

“You should carefully observe the process of melting and refining. You’ll benefit from it!” As Green Spirit’s voice gently floated into his ears, Junior Leopard settled his mind and began to focus his attention with all his might.

Having no idea how much time went by, Junior Leopard, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes shut, finally twitched his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes.

“What an impressive flame! After this, the Earth Fire Yuan Essence and the Underground Fire Golden Essence can finally merge into one!”

A ball of golden liquid was floating in front of him, which was exactly the form of the merged Earth Fire Yuan Essence and Underground Fire Golden Essence.

“Draw the talisman formation on it, and add a drop of blood, too!” said Green Spirit.

As Green Spirit had instructed, Junior Leopard drew the talisman formation and flicked a drop of blood onto the ball of golden liquid. With a flash of golden light, the blood and the talisman formation dissolved into the ball of liquid, as if being sucked inward.

“Now do as I say, step by step, and don’t make even one mistake, or this celestial device will be wasted!”

Junior Leopard did not utter a single word, but his hand never stopped moving. Gradually, that ball of liquid started to take shape under the manipulation of Junior Leopard. Hours later, Junior Leopard’s face was beaded with hot sweat, and his clothes were already soaked in sweat. However, his eyes were still avidly staring at the celestial device that had just formed, not daring to relax a bit.

“OK, it’s time for molding. Listen, this Pure Yang Celestial Device is called Golden Flame Mirror, developed by Haikong Master, a famous necromancer in antiquity times. Its materials are simple, but its power is formidable. Even for Pure Yang Celestial Devices, this one can be counted as an Upper Grade. There, it’s almost done. Don’t rush it. The input of Internal Qi should be done slower!

“Right, along with the direction of the talisman formation, patiently purify it. Right, that’s it!

“Don’t rush, never ever rush it. Just a moment. Haste makes waste, you know?!

“Nice, very nice, well done! And now, just the last step. Junior Leopard, pour your Internal Qi into it, as much as you have!” Green Spirit kept nagging in Junior Leopard’s ears, afraid he would lose grip for even a second.

“Rubbish. If it doesn’t absorb the Demonic Fire, how can this Pure Yang Celestial Device fully take shape!” Green Spirit said. “Don’t think that it’s just some other celestial device! This is a Pure Yang Celestial Device. No matter if it is the Earth Fire Yuan Essence or the Underground Fire Golden Essence, neither of them have intelligence. Only the Demonic Fire in your Dantian has powerful intelligence, and that’s why it can intellectualize your Pure Yang Celestial Device!”

“Intellectualize?!”

“It’s a technique for refining Pure Yang Celestial Devices used by necromancers. Your talisman formation drawing is already done, so the matter of intellectualizing is not your business now, given that the talisman formation will do the work automatically. Once the intellectualizing is finished, this Golden Flame Mirror will be almost completed. The remaining work can be done after you get out of here. You need to let it absorb enough Sun Colored Glaze Flame and it will be fully molded!”

“Sun Colored Glaze Flame?!” Hearing this, Junior Leopard’s eyes widened. “How can I possibly have the skill to let it absorb the Sun Colored Glaze Flame?!”

“Nothing is impossible. When you leave, just put it out to bask in the sunshine!” Green Spirit said briskly.

“Bask in the sunshine!” Junior Leopard almost jumped up with irritation. “How can it be basked? Everyone is saying that sunlight contains the Sun Colored Glaze Flame, but no one has ever been able to separate the Flame from it. Even many brilliant Level Nine experts have attempted to do this, but the accidentally separated Sun Ignis, the Pure Yang kindling of sun fire ash, burnt all of them to death!” Saying this, he suddenly became dazed.

Pure Yang kindling, Pure Yang celestial device, in which—

“A Pure Yang Celestial Device needs Pure Yang kindling for refining, which is also the last procedure in building a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Only after undergoing the refining of Pure Yang kindling can it possess a bit of Pure Yang pneuma and be qualified as a Pure Yang Celestial Device!” Green Spirit said. “You’re right. The Sun Colored Glaze Flame is the hardest one to separate out of all the Pure Yang kindlings. But you have no need to worry, because I’m not asking you to separate the Sun Colored Glaze Flame. Now that the Golden Flame Mirror is turned into an embryo of a Pure Yang Celestial Device with the talisman formation developed by Haikong Master, it can separate the Sun Colored Glaze Flame from sunlight by itself. Thus, the only thing you need to do is to let it bask in the sunshine!”

“Truly that simple?” Junior Leopard said incredulously. As he had said, since ancient times, the sun hanging above everyone had been providing the world with the greatest energy and nutrients, nourishing all forms of life, which could only exist with the presence of the sun. Meanwhile, sunlight also contained the abundant Spiritual Energy of Fire in this world, which was the greatest fortune for practitioners.

On the other hand, since the Spiritual Energy of Fire in sunlight was too strong, ordinary practitioners could merely manage to absorb some superficial and less violent Spiritual Energy of Fire. However, those experts who had achieved certain milestones in practice could separate some rather pure Spiritual Energy of Fire from the sunshine with great effort, but due to the lethality of the separated Spiritual Energy of Fire, even if their cultivation reached the Expert Realm, they might not be able to bear it. Therefore, regardless of what rank one was at, practicing with sunlight was truly a double-edged sword for practitioners—risks and opportunities coexisted. Still, for so many years, numerous experts had warned everyone with the price of their lives that, in general, such practice embodied many more risks than opportunities.

Hence, for almost 10,000 years, few had attempted to target the sun hanging overhead, except for those evil beasts that needed to absorb the Sun and Moon Essence for their evolution. But now, Green Spirit was telling him why the refined embryo of this celestial device should be able to separate the Sun Essence by itself and convert the Sun Colored Glaze Flame of pure Yang nature. So, how could he not be amazed?

“Don’t act so surprised. Embryos of Pure Yang Celestial Devices all have this feature, which of course, solely exists in those embryos because Pure Yang Celestial Devices rely on Pure Yang kindling to complete the last step. But after the weapon fully takes shape, it’ll no longer possess such a feature!” As though seeing right into the mind of Junior Leopard, Green Spirit easily smashed his delusion. “Well, at this step, both the quality and quantity of the absorption of Pure Yang kindling will determine the power of the Pure Yang Celestial Device. The Sun Colored Glaze Flame is an Upper Grade among all of the Pure Yang kindlings, so a Pure Yang Celestial Device that is refined with it will also be Upper Grade. If the Golden Flame Mirror had absorbed some ordinary Pure Yang kindlings like the Sun Fire in the first place, it would also be able to form a Low-Grade Pure Yang Celestial Device. However, since it has been refined with the Demonic Fire of Primitive Dragon Chimera that has special traction to the Sun Colored Glaze Flame, boy, you can end up with an Upper-Grade Pure Yang Celestial Device. You are really in luck!”

“I hope so!”

Junior Leopard said with a beaming smile, “Well, Green Spirit, how long have I been here?”

“Over 10 days. And all that time you’ve been focusing on this Pure Yang Celestial Device, so no wonder you’ve lost track of time!”

“But I’m starving now!” said Junior Leopard. “Let’s go out to check on the other two. It’s been more than 10 days, and they should have practiced just about enough!”

Junior Leopard put away that embryo of the Golden Flame Mirror and regulated his breathing for a while, and then walked back along the way in to find Wang She and Prince Xiaoming next to that place with surging rock flows. They were sitting cross-legged facing each other with their palms pressed against the other’s as two gold airflow swirled between them. These air currents sometimes slipped into one’s nostril, and then came out from the other’s. With every round of circulating air, they absorbed the Earth Fire Yuan Essence from the surrounding air into themselves. The gold was getting increasingly dense, while the Earth Fire Yuan Essence was turning paler and paler as the absorption continued.

“Fu*k! Still claiming they don’t have a history! But look, they’re already pair-practicing! Well, should I seek an opportunity to send them a fat red envelope?!” Watching the figures of these two, an odd smile cracked at the corner of Junior Leopard’s mouth. “If I had a camera here, I would certainly snap a shot of them right now and put it up on the internet to spark another huge scandal!”

As his mind was wandering, the soft sound of a breeze was captured by his ears, which came from afar at first, but in the blink of an eye, it sounded very close to them.

“Damn, is today really not my day? Could it be the return of Raging Fire Ancestor?”

This was the territory of Raging Fire Ancestor, and the underground temperature here was so high that, except for the experts above Level Seven, no one could come down to such a depth. Accordingly, this newcomer had to be someone from the side of Raging Fire Ancestor, and it was likely he himself.

Although Prince Xiaoming told them that Raging Fire Ancestor was out on business and would not come back so soon, they had still disturbed Raging Fire Ancestor’s disciple, Chilei, on their way in and had even knocked him out without adopting further cover-up measures. It was not impossible that this Chilei had woken up later and notified Raging Fire Ancestor to come back quickly!

“Fuck, how can they qualify as famous experts at Level Nine? They just take care of the beginning but don’t tend to the end!” Junior Leopard cursed to himself. With a flash of body movement, he began fluttering toward the source of the sound while lamenting his bad luck inwardly. “There are so many passageways in this ruddy place that even Raging Fire Ancestor himself may not know every one of them, nor can he expect that we’re practicing right here. Let me see if I can find an opportunity to lure them away!”

“Teacher, are they really in the vicinity? That day, they swooped in on me and knocked me out, so I didn’t clearly see who they were!” Three men were rapidly flying ahead in the passageway and each one of them was shrouded by a layer of red Gang Qi. Among them, the leader looked like a vigorous old man about 60 years old, wearing a robe embroidered with a Raging Fire pattern, whose beard and hair were all pricking up like steel needles and shimmering with a red glow. Beside him were two stocky men—one of whom was Chilei, who had slumped into a coma under the acupoint attack by Prince Xiaoming as they entered the geocentric fire vein; and the other was about 30 years old, a little shorter in height, but his pair of small eyes were flashing very ferociously.

“That old bloke has to be the Raging Fire Ancestor or something. One of them is Chilei, and the other one should be his other disciple, Chichuan. Raging Fire Ancestor only has two disciples that have entered the Expert Realm, and this time he brought both of them here. It looks like he’s truly burning to avenge this defeat for his disciple!” Junior Leopard said inwardly. Then, he initiated the Snake-like Breath Holding Technique and hid in the darkness of a passageway. Sure enough, this Snake-like Breath Holding Technique was so fantastic that, even with his cultivation at Level Nine, Raging Fire Ancestor did not notice anything abnormal as he passed nearby. When those three had hurtled ahead over 100 feet and rounded into another passageway, Junior Leopard surfaced from the dark, slightly stomped on the ground, and smashed a stone. Then, he broke into a run toward the opposite direction, but this time he did not cover up his breath, instead, he even vented some out while galloping into the distance.

If he fails to sense this disruption, this expert at Level Nine had better end his life by knocking his head against a chunk of tofu.

Surely, only a few seconds after he departed, the three men who had just disappeared returned once more.

“Teacher, is it this way?”

“Right, he’s heading for the way we came in!” A speck of red light glittered in Raging Fire Ancestor’s eyes, and a swift and fierce sneer fleeted across the corner of his mouth. “I’ve got your tail already, but you still hope to run away?!”

Junior Leopard was rushing through the passageways at random. Just when he felt that it was about time, suddenly, a powerful waft of strong fire strength was charging at him from behind.

“What!” He became startled, was flung forward, and cast out his Poison Cold Shield almost at the same time.

“Boom—!” With a slight crash, Junior Leopard just felt a sensation of a hard push on his back, and even though the Poison Cold Shield had strong defending power, that blow still penetrated it for just a second. In the next moment, the Poison Cold Shield recovered itself, but that exceedingly fierce fire strength still pierced into his body.

“Poof!” Blood spat out of his mouth, and the violent fire strength was running through his body as if countless steel needles had plunged into his tendons and meridians. But just when his Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique was about to be initiated by this blow, a blast of Essence Qi in his Dantian started operating first, which instantly flowed across his body and fully digested that sweeping fire strength.

Golden Flame Mirror!

Though the last step of refining was still pending, this Golden Flame Mirror was already working.
