Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 465 Taiyin Netherfire
The sky is clear and the air is fresh, with not a single cloud in sight.

Outside the gate of Luoyun Mountain, a beam of light shot out and revealed Song Xian's figure. After returning to the sect, he immediately summoned Jiang Zichen, Huang Ye and others to inquire about recent sect affairs.

After learning that nothing serious had happened, he returned to his residence, found Su Zhirou, told her the outcome of his trip, and then went to the back mountain.

He has now collected the White Bone Extreme Flame, the Profound Luo Yin Fire, and the Qian You Extreme Flame, but he is completely baffled as to how to combine them into one and refine them into the Taiyin Nether Fire.

The reason is that the book on the ranking of strange fires did not explain the steps and methods of refining them in detail. It only said that these three strange fires could be refined into Taiyin Netherfire, but did not explain in detail how to refine them.

Song Xian could only explore on his own. Since he didn't know what changes would occur during the refining of this strange fire, he dared not try it alone outside. If something unexpected happened and there was no one around to take care of him, he might fall into danger. Therefore, he had to return to the mountain gate to try again.

Song Xian sat down cross-legged, and with a sudden thought, he first released the White Bone Extreme Flame, and then released the Profound Luo Yin Fire and the Qian You Extreme Flame.

The three different flames—a black serpent, a white tiger, and a blue mermaid—each occupied a separate area, their three different colors of flames almost engulfing the entire world.

Three-colored flames burned brightly in mid-air, creating a spectacular scene.

Song Xian's expression was solemn as he controlled the three different flames to merge together.

When the black serpent, the white tiger, and the blue mermaid gathered together, they seemed to be incompatible like water and fire.

The three flames intertwined yet remained distinct, like oil poured into water, creating clear layers.

Seeing that the three different flames could not be fused together, Song Xian had no idea what to do, so he had no choice but to temporarily put them back into his body and study them later.

When he used the Profound Heaven Fusion Fire Technique again to absorb the three kinds of strange fire released, a strange scene occurred.

The three distinct and incompatible flames actually merged when they entered the crimson light surging around Song Xian.

Seeing this, Song Xian was overjoyed and immediately activated the Profound Heaven Fusion Fire Technique with all his might. As the red light around him grew stronger, the fusion of the three different flames accelerated.

The black serpent, the white tiger, and the blue mermaid, whose original enormous bodies gradually shrank as they merged, finally merging into one after several hours, transforming into a huge, dark blue sphere.

Upon seeing the fusion complete, Song Xian was overjoyed.

He never expected that the Profound Heaven Fusion Fire Technique would have such a wonderful use, as it could help fuse different fires, which saved him a lot of trouble and effort.

The book on the ranking of strange fires mentioned that there are twenty-four kinds of strange fires in the world, with three in each group, all of which can be refined into more powerful flames. However, the author of the book only knew how to refine the original strange fires, Taiyin Netherfire and Taiyang Essence Fire, so he did not mention the other strange fires.

Song Xian was initially worried that he wouldn't know how to refine other strange flames after obtaining them.

Now it's all good. We don't need to worry about anything else. We just need to collect the different flames as much as possible. Even if we do it by arranging and combining them, it won't take much time to determine which three different flames can be fused together.

"Husband, is it a success?" To prevent any accidents, Su Zhirou had been watching from a distance. Seeing the three different flames merge into one and condense into a dark blue fireball, Song Xian put away the Profound Heaven Fusion Fire Technique and came forward to greet her.

"Success! This is the Taiyin Netherfire." Song Xian's face was full of joy. "Fortunately, I had the Xuan Tian Fusion Fire Technique to help me, otherwise I wouldn't know how to refine them into one."

"The Profound Heaven Fusion Fire Technique can automatically refine various different forms of strange fire?" Upon hearing this, Su Zhirou was also pleasantly surprised.

"I didn't expect it to be so simple, but thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense. The Profound Heaven Fusion Fire Technique is a technique specifically for different kinds of fire. It can absorb various different kinds of fire, so of course it can facilitate the fusion between them."

Su Zhirou looked at the dark blue sphere in front of her: "After these three different flames were refined and fused, they don't seem as imposing as before. How did they turn into a sphere? They look rather ordinary."

"Let me show you its power." With a thought, Song Xian unleashed a massive, dark blue fireball that shot out like a cannonball, crashing into a low mountain peak in the distance.

Immediately following was a deafening roar that shook the earth. Dark blue flames engulfed an area of ​​several hundred feet, as if the mountain had been flattened. The protruding hills were reduced to flat ground, and an area of ​​several thousand feet in radius was transformed into a dark blue sea of ​​fire.

Su Zhirou's eyes widened, while Song Xian remained calm and composed.

The power of the Taiyin Netherfire was within his expectations. The Taiyin Netherfire, which had fused with three different types of fire, had an attack power of 30,000 points.

This power is so great that even the spells and supernatural abilities of a Golden Core cultivator might not be able to match it, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

With this Taiyin Netherfire in hand, he could confidently say that he was invincible below the Golden Core stage.

Inside the spacious and bright room, Jiang Zichen was explaining things to a disciple when a loud noise suddenly rang out, and the entire room seemed to shake.

His expression changed slightly, and with a flash, he left the room and soared into the air, where he saw eerie green flames shooting into the sky in the distance.

"Uncle Jiang, judging from the direction, it seems to be the back mountain where the master trains his skills." A disciple from the manor flew up on a magical artifact and reported to him.

"Immediately assemble the mountain gate guards and order them to activate the formation. I'll go check the situation." After giving the instructions, Jiang Zichen's escape light headed off in that direction.

He quickly arrived at the back mountain and saw Song Xian and Su Zhirou there. He landed in his escape light and went to greet them: "Sect Leader, what happened?"

Song Xian smiled slightly: "Junior Brother Zichen, what brings you here? Did I disturb you? It's nothing, I was just cultivating my supernatural powers. Don't worry, it's alright."

"Cultivating supernatural powers, that mountain, was it caused by the sect leader?" Jiang Zichen swallowed hard, staring in shock at the flattened mountain. He hadn't been able to see it clearly before because he was too far away, but now that he was here, he realized that the once low mountain peak had been smashed into a huge crater.

"A trivial skill, not worth mentioning." Seeing his expression, Song Xian felt smug, but on the surface he still maintained an indifferent attitude.

As soon as the words were spoken, dozens of beams of light suddenly shot into the sky from the center of the mountain gate, followed by the appearance of golden auspicious clouds.

"It was because I was worried about internal strife within the sect that I had the great formation activated," Jiang Zichen quickly explained.

"You did the right thing, tell them to shut down the formation!"

"Yes." Jiang Zichen responded and left.

As night fell, with a bright moon and few stars, Lin Zixiang returned to the inner courtyard of his mansion after a day of meditation. There he found Lin Huairou and Hua Yuan chatting about something amusing.

"Senior Brother Lin is back." Hua Yuan greeted him with a smile upon his return.

George Lam simply nodded and walked straight back into the room. He had never been interested in conversations between women.

"Have you heard?" Lin Huairou called out to him at this moment.

"What did you hear?"

"The sect leader cultivated a new divine ability that smashed a low peak of Luoyun Mountain into the ground, causing quite a commotion. Senior Brother Jiang even thought that enemies had invaded and ordered people to activate the formation."

"Really?" George Lam stopped in his tracks. "When did this happen?"

Hua Yuan took the flower: "Just today, there are already quite a few disciples gathered there, all talking about it! If Senior Brother Lin is interested, you can go and take a look. I've already been there, and the entire low peak was leveled. The power was truly astonishing."

Lin Zixiang frowned slightly: "Junior Brother Jiang must already know the situation! Do you know what supernatural power the Sect Leader is cultivating?"

"Brother Chen was the first to arrive, but he didn't ask many questions. After learning that the sect leader was cultivating a divine power, he ordered his men to shut down the great formation. According to him, the entire mountain was shrouded in a ghostly blue flame at the time. I guess it was some kind of powerful fire-attribute divine power. Isn't the sect leader the most skilled in fire-attribute magic?"

George Lam nodded, returned to his room, lay on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

After a while, Lin Huairou came in. He turned and glanced at her, "Hua Yuan is gone? What did she come for?" "It's nothing important. There's a guy in the sect named Liao Tong who works in the Tianshan Camp. He wants to be transferred to the Bianxi City Guard Camp and found Hua Yuan. She came to ask me to help with the transfer, and I agreed. Is there any problem with that?"

"Oh!" George Lam nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

"What's wrong?" Lin Huairou asked when she saw that he seemed distracted.

"She just said that the sect leader cultivated a supernatural power that leveled the entire mountain. Have you gone to that place she mentioned?"

"No."

"I'll go see what's going on." After a moment of silence, George Lam stood up.

"Why are you going to Luoyun Mountain so late at night? There's nothing else to do."

"You rest! I'll be right back." Lin Zixiang strode out of the room, and after leaving the mansion, he rose into the air and arrived at Luoyun Mountain, heading straight for the destroyed mountain peak.

At this time, many disciples were still gathered near the mountain peak, pointing and discussing among themselves.

"No wonder I heard a loud bang even from so far away in the cultivation room. I thought someone had broken in! I didn't expect it was the sect leader practicing his supernatural powers."

"Judging by its power, it is probably stronger than the divine power used by a Golden Core cultivator. No wonder it is the sect leader."

"Nonsense, have you ever experienced the supernatural powers of a Golden Core cultivator? You just spout nonsense."

"How could I not have experienced it? Didn't I encounter Xu Zhuoxuan back when we attacked the Fang family in Tianshui City? I even fought with him back then."

"Is that what you call a fight?"

"However, back then, the sect leader was already holding his own against Xu Zhuoxuan. Now that he has cultivated such powerful supernatural abilities, he might be able to defeat Xu Zhuoxuan if they were to fight again."

"It's possible to exchange blows, but at most, one can hold out for a while. How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator possibly defeat a Golden Core cultivator?"

While everyone was chatting idly, George Lam had already appeared in front of them in a flash.

Upon his arrival, the curious disciples who had gathered around him bowed in greeting.

"Don't you have anything to do? Instead of cultivating properly, what are you all doing, chattering around here?" Lin Zixiang stood with his hands behind his back, frowning as he reprimanded him.

Upon hearing his words, no one dared to utter a sound, and they all lowered their heads and left.

After everyone had gone, Lin Zixiang flashed to the flattened mountain hollow, squatted down, picked up the charcoal and broken stones next to him and examined them carefully for a while. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of Song Xian's residence.

After a while, he vanished into thin air and arrived in front of a magnificent mansion.

Before long, a round, fat man with white temples came out. It was none other than Yu Lian.

"Oh my! Senior Brother Lin, what an honor to have you here! I'm so sorry I didn't greet you properly!" Yu Lian greeted him warmly.

"It's so late, I'm sorry to bother Junior Brother Yu!"

"Not at all. I usually can't even get Senior Brother Lin to come. I really didn't expect him to come so suddenly. I wasn't prepared at all. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience."

The two exchanged pleasantries and headed inside. Once inside the hall, they each took their seats.

"Senior Brother Lin, what brings you to Luoyun Mountain today?"

"I heard that the sect suddenly activated a great formation, and I thought something had happened, so I came to find out what was going on. When I got here, I learned that it was caused by the sect leader cultivating a supernatural power. It's so late, and I didn't want to disturb him, so I came to visit Junior Brother Yu."

"Is that so!" Yu Lian's smile remained unchanged: "Senior Brother Lin is truly dedicated. He came all this way so late to find out what's going on."

"I just went to the scene of the incident. Such a large area was completely wiped out. What kind of supernatural power does the sect leader cultivate?"

"How would I know? I was in the cultivation room at the time. I only heard a loud bang, and then there was no sound. I didn't pay much attention to it. It was only after I came back that I heard that it was caused by the sect leader cultivating a supernatural power."

"It's said to be a fire-attribute divine power?"

"Probably! Many people said that a ghostly green flame shot into the sky from that mountain peak. But only the sect leader knows the specifics. Senior Brother Lin, do you perhaps want to cultivate this divine ability?"

"Ah! No, I was just asking casually. Besides, I don't have a fire-attribute spiritual root, so I can't cultivate." Lin Zixiang quickly retorted, then stood up: "It's too late, I won't disturb Junior Brother Yu. Farewell."

"I'll see Senior Brother Lin off." Yu Lian smiled and got up to see him off until he disappeared into the distance and returned to his residence.

.........

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

In the dimly lit secret room, Song Xian sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. His forehead was covered with a dense layer of sweat, the veins on his head were bulging, his face was flushed red, and his body was tense, as if he was enduring great pain.

Within his divine consciousness in the Niwan Palace, a massive storm was impacting his consciousness. Countless points of light surged from all directions, transforming into a giant tornado that collided with the ball of light formed from his consciousness, attempting to destroy it.

Song Xian kept his mind focused, cultivating the Desolate Heaven Expansion Technique on one hand, circulating spiritual power throughout his body, and on the other hand, controlling his divine sense to fight against it.

As time passed, the storm gradually dissipated, and the cluster of consciousness within his sea of ​​consciousness continuously devoured the scattered specks of light. In this process, his sea of ​​consciousness expanded continuously, and the cluster of consciousness grew correspondingly stronger.

After an unknown amount of time, the storm had completely disappeared, and all the scattered lights had been swallowed up. Song Xian opened his eyes, his gaze clear and bright, like that of an infant.

He reached up and wiped his forehead, looking at the sweat stains on his hands, and took a deep breath.

I never imagined that breaking through to the second stage of the Desolate Heaven Expansion Technique would be so difficult and dangerous.

Previously, his breakthroughs in cultivation techniques were always smooth sailing, but this time it was the opposite. A huge storm surging in his Niwan Palace almost swallowed his divine consciousness.

After breaking through to the second stage of his cultivation technique, his spiritual power has now reached 2200 points.

In addition, the Soul-Shocking Technique can also be cultivated to the intermediate level.

This is a special ability that comes with a cultivation technique. Unlike ordinary magical abilities, its improvement must be based on the level of the cultivation technique.

When a technique is still in its first stage, no matter how much you practice, it can only reach the initial stage at most.

After breaking through the second stage of the technique, it can be cultivated to the intermediate level.

Similarly, once the technique breaks through the third stage, it can be cultivated to an advanced level.

When the practice reaches the fourth stage, it can be mastered.

The initial stage of the Soul-Shocking Technique can only enhance the power of divine sense by 20%, the intermediate stage can enhance it by 40%, the advanced stage can enhance it by 6 levels, and the mastery stage can enhance it by a full 2 ​​times.
