Fire Monster

Chapter 284 Ugly Statue
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Guanshan slowly moved his hands and merged the two small flames together. The whole process was very quiet and ordinary, and there was no shocking or extraordinary changes.

The two small flames turned into one. It was not that one devoured the other, nor that one merged with the other. It was just as if there was only one flame originally.

It was not until Zhao Guanshan returned the small flame to the imperial oil lamp that the warm light came on again, and there was obviously a big difference.

Even the changes finally began at this moment.

There were still three eighth-level dispel magic weapons left in this imperial oil lamp, and they were automatically ignited by the small flame.

If it were in the past, this kind of ignition would probably have caused a very terrifying energy shock, but at this moment, all Zhao Guanshan felt was the beauty of the sunshine.

This is the pursuit of warm fire that is engraved in the bones of human beings.

This bright and warm light flowed and enveloped, even covering Liu Yuwei and Xiao Chengyun.

Under the illumination of this light, Zhao Guanshan even immediately sensed his own statue. He had a feeling that he could summon it to the real world immediately. It was really possible.

With that in mind, he did the same.

A six-meter-tall golden-armored giant instantly appeared, but it was not real, but a state that was not constrained by space.

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of a possibility. Because of the advancement of the Lihuo Dao Fu and the fusion of the two small flames, he had a chance to condense and create a real statue in the real world.

After taking a look around, he decisively took out the imperial oil lamp that had no flame anymore and used it as the core. He also took out a few simple pieces of furniture from the bunker and finally threw in a spirit stone and a handful of soil.

The next moment, he activated the runes of his soul realm, controlling the golden-armored giant to slowly descend. Using these real objects as the foundation and skeleton, he really condensed a statue.

However, this statue is not six meters high, but only ten centimeters high. When the golden light fades, it looks particularly rough. One can only vaguely see from the outline that this is Zhao Guanshan himself, or in other words, only he can see it clearly.

But this is different.

This is different from those casually made or carved statues.

There is real spirituality in this.

It can be said that this ten-centimeter-tall ugly statue is essentially the same as the five statues in front of the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace.

"Alas, it has finally come to this."

"But how is this step different from two thousand years ago?"

Zhao Guanshan was a little excited and also felt a little emotional. Two thousand years ago, five Mahayana immortals including Zhao Fengxiao, Xiao Wangyan and Mei Xun built the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace in this way.

They built the core of the immortal's Taoism into five huge statues, and used the Taoist knowledge passed down by the immortal to build a seven-level spirit-offering tower. Only then did they develop step by step.

And now, he is just repeating the old path.

Especially since he does not have the strength of the five Mahayana immortals. Although he does not have to face the tide of evil demons and does not have to worry about the lives and deaths of millions of people, he still has to face the awakening of destiny.

Believe it or not, this small ugly statue of his will directly become a wild god of obscene worship after the destiny awakens? It will be violently destroyed and demolished.

Although his statue does not require incense and will not spread faith.

But his statue will really take root and stabilize an area as long as it touches the ground.

So after much hesitation, Zhao Guanshan finally put the ugly statue he had just made into an ash bag to isolate it. This ash bag is a real treasure. It is a treasure in the spiritual world and even more so in reality.

Afterwards, Zhao Guanshan sat cross-legged, ready to practice, but a few seconds later, he took out the ugly statue from the ash bag. There was no point in escaping.

Since he had already condensed the statue in reality, in order for him to transform into a golden armored giant faster and better, he had to practice with this ugly statue. That's right, this ugly statue was the transformation of his golden armored giant, and it was his Dharma image in the real world. When needed, he could directly operate the Yuanshen domain rune to transform into a golden armored giant.

Otherwise, trying to recall your own image from the spiritual world would be too remote and your efforts would be wasted.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Guanshan also realized that this was a complete system that was self-contained from the very beginning.

The Lihuo Taoist Talisman represents the Taoist tradition of the female immortal and is the core of everything.

Zhao Guanshan is the successor of this Taoist tradition.

But he is still too weak to carry the entire Taoist tradition, because this Taoist tradition requires the support of an entire world.

But now he can't control the entire world, so he can only carry it indirectly through this ugly little statue.

Yes, that's right. This small, ugly statue can grow into a world in the future as long as there are enough resources and all the Taoist knowledge is discovered.

Indeed, you can.

Therefore, he must practice with this statue because this is his form in the real world.

While cultivating the physical body, one is also cultivating a world.

The Taoist tradition left by the female immortal is truly amazing.

Unfortunately, in order to complete the Taoist knowledge, one has to find more fragments of the Lihuo Taoist Talisman, fuse more small flames, and maintain a good area for cultivation.

All this is so difficult.

Because he's not doing it himself, he's not unique.

All the Taoist palaces in this ruined world of immortal cultivation today originally existed for this purpose.

In two thousand years, how many people have achieved success in cultivation?

Anyway, Zhao Guanshan has no hope anymore.

Next, he entered into meditation again, put aside all distracting thoughts, and activated the runes of his soul realm. The next moment, the ugly little statue instantly turned into golden lights and merged with his body.

And within this golden light were groups of runes used to refine Qi. As the golden light flowed and he continued to practice Qi, his speed of refining Qi increased tenfold!
Wow, Zhao Guanshan has never experienced such a high speed.

Qi cultivators are different from immortal cultivators. The latter are the darlings of heaven and earth, spiritual nobles. Because they never worry about the amount of spiritual energy, they have more choices in their practice, and there will be many exercises and many changes in details.

But Qi Refiners are really beggars in their practice, like oxen and horses who practice Qi Refining. There is no need to be picky. They just concentrate all the resources that can be concentrated. It’s just one word: refine, refine, refine!

Therefore, as long as there are spirit stones, the cultivation speed of the Qi Refiner will be greatly improved, but as long as there are no spiritual energy resources, he will really stand still.

Likewise, for this reason, the skills of the Qi Refiner are also very simple and very low-level, and can be used all the time, from the martial artist to the first-level Qi Refiner, and can be used all the way to the ninth-level Qi Refiner.

However, if the low-level and simple skills are practiced at ten times the speed, the effect will be extremely explosive.

In just less than an hour, Zhao Guanshan's rapid practice came to an abrupt halt. The golden light dissipated and turned into the ugly statue again. However, the statue had really become like a clay figurine at this time.

It was the practice just now that had exhausted the spirit stone in the statue.
