Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 563 The Power of the Founder of the Myriad Fire Sect

in mind.

Lin Chen saw a figure sitting cross-legged on a sea of ​​fire, the entire sky dyed crimson by the flames, truly a world of one color.

Beneath him, a sea of ​​fire churned, wave after wave of flames. From time to time, fish would leap out of these flames and land around the man's knees, like children playing around his knees, bringing him endless joy.

Where could one see the churning waves of fire? Even a martial artist who had not yet reached the rank of master would be severely injured if they were merely touched by them, if not killed. And the seemingly harmless fish leaping out of the sea of ​​fire were actually far more terrifying innate fire spirits.

I reign supreme, burning the heavens and boiling the seas; the fiery spirits, like carp, linger around my knees, their warmth lingering.

This sentence inexplicably popped into Lin Chen's mind.

This must be the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect.

Just as Lin Chen confirmed the identity of the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect, the man slowly turned around, his deep eyes seemingly reflecting an endless sea of ​​fire.

"At the pinnacle of martial arts, one must condense a divine seal and become the ruler of the world, accompanied by destiny. If you wish to follow this path, my teachings are not suitable for you. You may leave now, and I can impart a technique to you so that your journey will not be in vain."

Hearing the words of the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect, Lin Chen was stunned. Now he knew what the so-called Divine Seal was all about, and he also knew how to proceed after reaching the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

By condensing a divine seal, one can become the ruler of the world, just like the founding emperor of the Yan Dynasty, and be considered invincible among god-level powerhouses.

But now the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect is telling me that his lineage does not follow this path. Doesn't that mean that the highest level of his martial arts is pseudo-god level?

Lin Chen doesn't consider himself a darling of martial arts, but from the moment he stepped into the martial arts hall in Poyang County, his goal was to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

Otherwise, having already brought glory to his family by winning first place in the county examination, why would he need to study so diligently?

Now, a difficult choice lies before him: to inherit the legacy of the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect, or to take a cultivation technique and leave.

The compensatory cultivation technique that the founder of the Wanhuo Sect called "worth the trip" must be a sect-level technique, so the trip was definitely worthwhile.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Just as Lin Chen was pondering, the patriarch of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect spoke again.

"I choose to accept the legacy!"

Lin Chen gave his answer without further hesitation.

"Are you sure? If you accept my inheritance, you will never be able to climb to the pinnacle of martial arts by condensing the divine seal again."

"Junior is sure."

Lin Chen's expression became even more resolute. He hadn't expected this to be a test from the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect, a test of his willpower.

A powerhouse of this caliber doesn't need to use such verbal tactics to test someone's will when choosing a successor. If they really want to test someone's will, there are plenty of other ways.

The reason he ultimately chose to accept the legacy of the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect was because he recalled his journey of martial arts cultivation.

From the very beginning, I embarked on the path of extreme martial arts, the Nine Revolutions Blood Refining, and the Body Tempering Cultivation... Every path was one that no one before me had taken. Even my elders didn't have faith in me and advised me to give up.

If I had given up because of the difficulties ahead, I wouldn't be standing here now.

Perhaps, I am still on Canglan Island, or perhaps I am just an ordinary disciple of the Canglan Sect.

Moreover, even if he wanted to take the path of condensing the divine seal, he probably wouldn't be able to, since that young master Dongfang's father was already the next successor to the divine seal.

I had no other choice!
Having received Lin Chen's confirmation, the patriarch of the Myriad Fire Sect raised his right hand and pointed a finger, causing a flame to appear between Lin Chen's eyebrows.

Lin Chen was also in a state of profound mystery at this moment.

"I hope that my young friend can complete the path that I did not finish back then."

The founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect gazed deeply at Lin Chen, as if seeing his own unfinished path of martial arts through time. In the end, he left only a word of expectation before resolutely turning away. With this turn, his once majestic figure suddenly became illusory, and he stepped into the sea of ​​fire, disappearing without a trace.

As the figure of the patriarch of the Myriad Fire Sect disappeared, the entire sea of ​​fire came to a standstill. The next moment, the innate fire spirits that had been leaping wildly in the blazing waves stirred up thousands of fire waves, and the roaring sound of the surging fire waves seemed to be a lament.

The crimson sky seemed to sense this sorrow as well, and began to dim and tremble. This world of flames, constructed by the will of the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect, was slowly collapsing.

From that time on, there was no more Holy Fire Hall, and no more inheritance!
……

……

An hour later, Lin Chen opened his eyes, a look of emotion in them.

He received not only the martial arts inheritance from the founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect, but also some of his experiences on the path of cultivation.

This is a true peerless genius!

At the age of six, he unexpectedly came into contact with the innate fire, which tempered his body and allowed him to survive.

At the age of nine, he had already entered the innate realm.

Although it was achieved using the energy of innate fire, it has already broken the record for the earliest person in the martial arts world to enter the innate realm.

However, very few people know about this record.

After that, this senior made rapid progress, and by the age of thirty, he had already refined nine innate flames and entered the sixth realm of the innate realm.

What Lin Chen admired was that this senior, like himself, came from a poor family. However, he initially relied on the panel to change his fate, while this senior relied on innate fire.

As for the hardships he endured, Lin Chen believed that this senior had suffered no less than he had.

I have personally experienced the pain of refining innate fire. At that time, I was already an entry-level martial artist and even had the Emberless Burning Fire Technique given to me by my master. But this senior had nothing. The pain he suffered was even greater than mine.

From the Innate Realm to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, this senior never stopped pursuing martial arts, even after entering the Myriad Manifestations Realm. It can be said that in that era, this senior was truly the strongest in the Yan Dynasty.

Even the royal family at the time, and even those ancient clans, had no one who could withstand a single move from this predecessor.

He swept aside all the strong figures of his time, truly an invincible figure.

For the senior, there was only one last step left, but the senior did not take the path of condensing the divine seal, because condensing the divine seal required first dissipating the divine seal of the Yan Emperor Dynasty.

The divine seal is about to dissipate, which will inevitably lead to great chaos in the imperial dynasty.

Unable to bear seeing the deaths of ordinary people and martial artists, this senior did not choose to condense a divine seal, but this does not mean that he gave up on reaching the pinnacle of martial arts.

Enter the Dao through fire, and condense the Fire Seal!
This is the compassion of this senior, and also the confidence of this senior.

This was a path no one had ever walked before, but this predecessor had gone very far on it. If it weren't for the appearance of the monster at the end, perhaps this predecessor would have been able to complete it.

When the monsters appeared, chaos ensued. In order to suppress the monsters, this senior ultimately chose to suppress them with his own body, abandoning that last attempt.

For the sake of all living beings, he gave up martial arts, and it could even be said that he gave up his life.

Lin Chen held deep respect for this founder of the Ten Thousand Fires Sect. If it were him, he might not have been able to give him up.

The legacy left behind by this predecessor was not a cultivation technique, but a seed of fire imprint.

Once it takes root and sprouts, it will become an unparalleled existence capable of rivaling the divine seal.

Lin Chen stored the innate fire within his body in the fire mark between his eyebrows. For him, the fire mark could now be used to nourish the innate fire within his body.

With this fire mark, no innate fire in the world can harm him in the slightest. However, whether he can absorb and refine more innate fire still depends on his own strength.

Looking at the nearly dried-up sea of ​​fire before him, Lin Chen bowed deeply. This bow was not only out of gratitude for spreading the teachings, but also out of respect for the great righteousness of this senior.

"I will follow this path and live up to the expectations of my seniors."
