I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 203 Inheritance
The Tianpeng Clan has five elders, but only three remain in the clan at this time. Besides Elder Jin Yue, there is a tall, red-bearded old man and a rather thin, middle-aged woman.

However, the cultivation levels of these two were far inferior to Jin Yue's, and the middle-aged beauty seemed to follow Jin Yue's lead.

"Since the fall of the Holy Lord, I have finally heard some good news!"

The red-bearded old man could not hide his joy. Ever since the Holy Lord's fall, he had been anxious every day, fearing that the Tianpeng lineage would be swallowed up by other branches of the Feiling clan.

Now that they have Xiao Wuji as a promising prospect, they can finally feel a little more at ease.

His ability to ascend from the lower realm and find his way here from the human realm demonstrates his immense strength. With the Holy Son Trial just around the corner, having even a little more power is always beneficial.

"Since you all agree, let's hold the spiritual awakening ceremony for him later. The trial is about to begin, and he doesn't have much time left!"

The so-called "spirit awakening" is actually just a small ceremony to declare one's identity. What's truly important is that after the spirit awakening, one can obtain the Kunpeng True Blood, which can only be obtained by those who have the status of a Holy Son.

Jin Yue originally wanted to get a Kunpeng relic for Xiao Wuji, but he refused. He had so many supernatural powers that he couldn't possibly cultivate them all. As for the Kunpeng Dharma Image, he could easily create one.

After the spiritual awakening was complete, Xiao Wuji casually tossed the Kunpeng True Blood to Jin Yue; he had no use for it. Even if he forcibly integrated it into his Dharma Body, it would only be assimilated by the Undying Emperor's Blood.

Having accepted Jin Yue's invitation to engage in dual cultivation, Xiao Wuji was taken to her secret chamber by Jin Yue, where he began to toil away.

He hadn't cultivated for over a year in order to travel from the human race to the flying spirit race, and he needed to take this opportunity to make up for it.

The ideal is lofty, but reality is cruel. After a day of dual cultivation, Xiao Wuji had to stop. Jin Yue was still a virgin? The power of her virgin yin almost broke through his bottleneck.

He hoped that his cultivation could develop horizontally within the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, rather than breaking through to a higher realm, since his cultivation technique was not yet perfect!

"Alas, how tragic..."

Looking at the Emperor Flame among the options, Xiao Wuji covered his face and sighed, wishing he could break through to the Void Returning Realm directly and forcefully seize this Emperor Flame.

Unfortunately, the most likely outcome is that he will be annihilated by Di Yan, or he will burn all his divine energy, activate his holy weapon, and annihilate Di Yan in one fell swoop. But either of these scenarios would cause him irreparable damage.

"System, I choose the legacy of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe!"

It was a beautiful lotus seed the size of a fist, with many flames rising from its surface.

"My legacy requires a heart as firm as a rock; as long as a single thought remains, it will never perish!" As a faint voice fell, a flaming lotus seed, emitting a strange luster, slowly descended, piercing through Xiao Wuji's scalp and landing inside his head.

"boom!"

The instant the Flaming Lotus Seed entered his body, Xiao Wuji's body immediately turned red. A terrifying and boundless energy spread throughout his body at an alarming speed. In the blink of an eye, the meridians in Xiao Wuji's body swelled up, and a violent tearing pain emanated from them.

Even though he had mastered the art of refining the body with divine and demonic powers, he was now feeling an overwhelming sense of burden.

In the sea of ​​fire, Xiao Wuji's body trembled violently. At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and both eyes exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

His eyes exploded, and then explosions came from all over Xiao Wuji's body. Then, his body was directly burst apart by that terrifying power of inheritance!

Xiao Wuji's soul wandered in the sea of ​​fire. His mental strength at the Ice Heart Realm was enough to allow him to endure the immense pain of being shattered to pieces. Even if his physical body shattered into a bloody mist, he could still control his body. This was the terrifying aspect of the Divine Demon Body Refinement.

Then, with a thought, Xiao Wuji's physical body was restored to its original state.

However, his body did not exist for long before the fiery lotus seed once again released a terrifying power that made heaven and earth tremble.

"boom!!"

Under the impact of this force, Xiao Wuji's newly formed body exploded into a bloody mist once again, and this time, even his soul experienced excruciating pain.

His physical body shattered and reformed time and time again. However, Xiao Wuji seemed oblivious to it, completely absorbed in the ocean of strange fire.

For the people of the Dou Qi Continent, the most important thing about this Flame Lotus Seed is the wisp of Origin Qi, but for Xiao Wuji, the most important thing is the laws of heaven and earth contained in the strange fire that is presented to him as if it were a real object.

The laws contained within the Emperor's Flame are extremely complex, including devouring, purification, yin and yang, and the five elements. However, among these incomplete laws, there is a complete law that runs through the entire process.

This law is the complete law of fire; in the primordial world, it is a complete Great Dao of Fire.

If Tuoshe Ancient Emperor had not been born with a body of strange fire, and if these laws had not been laws he himself possessed, he could not have perfectly mastered them and left behind methods to help others comprehend them.

Of course, the legacy of Emperor Tuoshe extends far beyond this, encompassing combat skills, alchemy, and even weapon crafting and formations. While it may be difficult to comprehend the Dao through techniques, it is remarkably simple to demonstrate the Dao through its principles.

This is the Dao of the Strange Fire, and also the Dharma of Tuoshegudi.
