Chapter 1301 Tempering

"This is the underground sinkhole, the ninth level."

The Crimson Sky Domain Lord appeared ahead and introduced to Su Ping: "Our Flame God Palace is built on the natural crater of the Nine Flavors Heavenly Fire. In order to seal the power of the Heavenly Fire and prevent it from completely burning and melting this continent, we have set up a nine-layered barrier here."

"Each layer of barrier seals off a portion of the power of the Heavenly Fire. Now, this place has also become a training ground for the disciples of my Flame God Palace, but generally, being able to enter the third to fifth level of the sinkhole is the limit."

Su Ping's gaze was already fixed on the white flames ahead. Before him lay an extremely vast world, seemingly endless. Clearly, this was a special spacetime region.

Ahead lay a gaping abyss, a crater burning with intense white flames. The surrounding temperature was so high that even stars would melt instantly—it was celestial fire.

Su Ping saw golden flame divine patterns appear on the body of the Crimson Sky Domain Lord. It was a kind of Great Dao rule, similar to the Heavenly Flame Technique. Relying on these flame divine patterns, she blocked the high temperature of this place and remained calm and composed.

"Who are those people over there?"

At this moment, Su Ping noticed two figures sitting cross-legged next to the fire pit. Their auras were profound, and they were clearly both experts at the Divine Emperor Realm.

When the Crimson Sky Domain Lord saw that Su Ping had blocked the high temperature with his physical body alone, her eyes narrowed slightly. This Dao Child seemed to be even more terrifying than she had imagined.

"You mean them? They've come here to seek the Heavenly Fire. The one in the gray robe is the Divine Weapon Master of the Tan Clan. He has forged seven weapons at the Divine Emperor level in his lifetime, each one incredibly powerful. He's here to forge his eighth divine weapon, borrowing the source of the Heavenly Fire from this place."

The Crimson Sky Domain Lord said, "The other one in purple is the Heavenly Pill Master of the Medicine Clan, who uses Heavenly Fire to refine medicine."

"Not long before Daozi came here, about two hundred years ago, there was another powerful cultivator from the Feather Dao who came here to temper his body with the Heavenly Fire, but he had already achieved success in his cultivation and left."

Su Ping was somewhat surprised, but considering the various uses of the Heavenly Fire, it wasn't hard to understand.

"In that case, the Domain Lord must have a wide network of connections and have accumulated a lot of favors," Su Ping said.

The Crimson Sky Domain Lord chuckled, "The Heavenly Fire of the entire God Realm is unique to this clan. Our Yan Clan has been able to firmly occupy it not only because of the deterrence of our ancestral god, but also because of our clan's management and connections. Some things cannot be taken too seriously, but as for favors, we do owe them some. Even the Lin Clan, who were chasing the Dao Child, owes us a favor. It's just a pity that the favor is rather weak, and we can't speak up for the Dao Child."

Su Ping understood what the other party meant and said no more, "I would like to borrow a portion of Heavenly Fire and cultivate here for a while."

"You're too kind, Daoist. As long as you can take it, you may take all the Heavenly Fire here," the Crimson Sky Domain Lord said with a smile.

"it is good."

Without further ado, Su Ping took a step forward and flew towards the Heavenly Fire Pit ahead.

"Michiko, what are you doing?"

Seeing Su Ping directly approach the Heavenly Fire, the Crimson Sky Domain Lord couldn't help but shout.

"Cultivation."

Su Ping turned around and said.

"Cultivation..." Lord Crimson Sky Domain was somewhat lost in thought, seemingly unsure how to respond. He said, "If you get too close, Dao Child might get burned. This Heavenly Fire can melt all the Great Daos. If Dao Child wants to temper his body with the Heavenly Fire, I can guide a portion of the flame to help you cultivate."

"No need for that, I'll just stay on the outermost edge," Su Ping said, waving his hand.

He then stepped straight in, entering the heavenly fire.

"this……"

The Crimson Sky Domain Lord was somewhat dumbfounded. He directly entered the Heavenly Fire to cultivate?

Although she knew Su Ping wanted to temper his physical body, this wasn't how he wanted to do it!

The powerful member of the Divine Barbarian Clan who came to temper his body with the Heavenly Fire only dared to use a divine artifact to guide a portion of the firelight from the outer edge of the Heavenly Fire to illuminate his body and continuously refine and temper it.

Who would dare to jump into the fire like Su Ping did...

The celestial fire within the deep pit suddenly changed its momentum, becoming erratic. While the Crimson Sky Domain Lord hesitated, Su Ping had already mobilized all his power to guide the celestial fire from his pores into his body. Using the Origin Dao Flame Divine Technique taught by the Golden Crow Elder, he controlled the power of the celestial fire, allowing it to permeate every part of his body.

In addition, he opened a crack in the chaotic universe within his body, introducing heavenly fire to temper his physical body while simultaneously tempering the universe.

"Um?"

The Crimson Sky Domain Lord was stunned again, his eyes widening slightly in disbelief.

She could tell that Su Ping was using some kind of secret technique to control the heavenly fire.

However, what shocked her was that the heavenly fire surrounding Su Ping was clearly under extremely precise control. It did not burn Su Ping, but instead tempered and refined Su Ping's body!

He was actually able to cultivate within the source of heavenly fire!

"What kind of divine art is this? It can actually control heavenly fire!" Even the Yan Clan's Crimson Sky Domain Lord, a prodigy who prides himself on being the origin of the Flame Dao, has never encountered such a divine art.

She immediately thought of the Golden Crow bloodline in Su Ping's body. Could it be that this was an ancient technique passed down in the bloodline?

"If it is inherited, then this is a Dao technique from the Chaos Era. Legend has it that in that ancient era, there were many powerful beings at the Ancestral God Realm. The Heavenly Dao had just been born, and gods and demons could easily attain enlightenment and cultivate. Powerful beings emerged in great numbers, which also led to the proliferation of countless techniques to their extremes. It was the most glorious and powerful era..."

The Crimson Sky Domain Lord's expression shifted. It was indeed possible that some powerful divine technique had been left behind in such a brilliant era.

"Who is that?"

"What's going on?"

At this moment, the two powerful Divine Emperors on either side of the pit also noticed Su Ping, who was cultivating amidst the heavenly fire. They were both stunned, and then their eyes widened in astonishment.

What kind of monster came from, daring to step into the heavenly fire with its own body?

You must know that this is the flame they use to forge divine artifacts and refine top-tier divine pills; even they dare not touch it with their own bodies.

Heavenly fire can burn all the Great Daos, and the Great Daos they use to protect are completely unable to withstand the erosion of heavenly fire.

"They were brought by the Domain Lord. Could they be a prodigy from the Yan Clan?"

"Such a powerful physical body, such miraculous divine magic!"

Both powerful Divine Emperors stopped what they were doing and stared intently at Su Ping in the sinkhole. To have a physical body that could reach such a level was comparable to that of a top-tier divine artifact.

Amidst the heavenly fire.

Su Ping gradually entered a meditative state. He turned to look at the Crimson Sky Domain Lord and, seeing that she hadn't left yet, waved to her to indicate that there was no need to worry. Then he closed his eyes and used the Origin Dao Flame Divine Technique to control the heavenly fire to temper his physical body. He could also draw energy from the heavenly fire to continuously open up and strengthen his body.

"This heavenly fire seems to have a crushing and dispersing effect on ordinary Great Daos. Ordinary Great Daos break instantly when they touch the heavenly fire." Su Ping's eyes flashed. Rather than saying that this heavenly fire is powerful, it is more accurate to say that it is strange and domineering.

Seeing Su Ping completely immersed in the heavenly fire, the Crimson Sky Domain Lord's beautiful face was somewhat dazed. After a long while, she silently withdrew her gaze, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.

The Daoist she invited back seemed to have countless secrets. She even suspected that, given time, even if Su Ping failed to condense his Dao Heart, his physical body would have already reached the Divine Emperor realm.

"In the past, there were also gods who did not cultivate the Great Dao but only tempered their physical bodies. However, they only cultivated to the God Emperor Realm and could not advance further. However, among those in the same realm, they were all monsters. They could crush everything with their fists and feet. Only the Ancestral God could suppress them..." The Crimson Sky Domain Lord's eyes flickered. He felt that if Su Ping continued to temper himself in the Heavenly Fire, he would most likely reach a similar level.

You must know that this Heavenly Fire is the Dao Fire used to temper the weapons of the Divine Emperor.

Even divine emperor weapons deform under the tempering of heavenly fire, let alone living beings.

When Su Ping finished his cultivation, his physical body was even harder than a divine artifact, making him virtually invincible among those in the same realm.

"As expected, those who can be selected as Dao Children are all extraordinary beings..." Lord Crimson Sky Domain thought to himself.

Although she considers herself a genius, she knows that her talent is still somewhat different from that of the Dao disciples of the Heavenly Dao Academy.

At least she failed to become a Dao Child of the Heavenly Dao Academy back then.

The Lord of the Crimson Sky Domain did not leave either. He immediately set up a barrier for himself, came to the edge of the ninth layer of the barrier, sat down to observe, and wanted to see how long Su Ping could hold out.

Time flies.

Inside the Flame God Palace, there are many disciples, and recently they have all been discussing the newly arrived Deputy Domain Lord, Daozi.

Many rumors have been circulating about this Daoist, some exaggerated and some completely unfounded, and they are all being talked about with great interest.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. They witnessed Su Ping cultivate the Heavenly Flame Technique to the thirteenth level of extreme realm in a short period of time and descend his own Flame Dao True Body.

This event, which resembled a miracle and a legend, happened right before their eyes, making them unable to help but let their imaginations run wild, and adding a touch of mystery to the title of Daoist of the Heavenly Dao Academy.

Below the Flame God Palace, in the sinkhole, many disciples cultivate here.

The deeper one goes, the fewer disciples there are.

Some elders within the palace also cultivate in the sinkhole, which is their sacred place of cultivation.

"I think I've recently made a breakthrough. Before, I could only cultivate on the second level of the sinkhole, but now I can barely reach the third level."

"Hey, what a coincidence, me too."

Me too.

On the fourth level of the underground sinkhole, a red-haired girl was in seclusion. The entire barrier space was extremely vast and the temperature was abnormal. Although there was a barrier to block her, she felt that if she broke through it even slightly, she could touch the heavenly fire outside the barrier and be immediately burned and devoured.

This sense of pressure made her work even harder.

"Is it just my imagination? The power of the Heavenly Fire seems to have weakened." The girl slowly opened her eyes, somewhat puzzled, wondering if it was just her imagination. After all, the Heavenly Fire had existed for countless years, just like the rising and setting of the sun, extremely stable. How could it possibly weaken?

The powerful members of the family said that this is an eternal flame that can never be extinguished or weakened.

"Could it be that I've become stronger?" The girl sensed herself and realized that it didn't seem like that.

Besides the girl, some elders of the Flame God Palace were also sensing and exploring deep within the fifth and sixth levels of the sinkhole, experiencing the same illusion as the girl.

And at the deepest part of the sinkhole, within the barrier of the ninth level.

The barrier here isolates the outside world, and the deep pit of the heavenly fire is exposed within this barrier, allowing one to directly touch the heavenly fire.

Amidst the ceaselessly burning heavenly fire, a small black dot, like a wisp of ash or impurity in the flames, floats by, an eyesore to those with obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

"It's been half a year..."

Outside the barrier, the Crimson Sky Domain Lord's face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat condensed on her forehead. She had accompanied Su Ping here for half a year. Although half a year was just a blink of an eye for her, half a year here felt as long as a thousand years.

Even though she was outside the barrier, after half a year of perseverance, she gradually began to feel a bit strained.

However, upon seeing Su Ping amidst the heavenly flames, she was speechless. This Dao Child was simply a monster. She had no doubt that even if Su Ping encountered a Divine Emperor Realm expert, he could escape from their grasp.

"The Dao Child of the Heavenly Dao Academy is indeed worthy of his reputation..." The other two Divine Emperors here were doing their own thing, collecting fire energy, while glancing at Su Ping in the heavenly fire from time to time. In the past six months, they had communicated with the Lord of the Crimson Sky Domain through telepathy and knew Su Ping's identity.

The Dao Child before us is not yet at the Divine Emperor Realm, but he has already accomplished what most Divine Emperors cannot do.

If the other party weren't a Dao Child of the Heavenly Dao Academy, an existence that defies common sense, they would probably find it hard to accept such a thing happening.

Amidst the heavenly fire, Su Ping slowly opened his eyes. The intense flames fused into all the acupoints of his body, and within every part of his flesh and blood essence lay immense power. The heavenly fire burned and destroyed the many Great Daos he had comprehended, but Su Ping reassembled them, becoming even stronger.

"Heavenly fire burns all things, much like the Way of Heaven, cold and merciless, but this is not the Dao Heart I seek..."

During this time, in addition to tempering his physical body, Su Ping also tried to comprehend his Dao heart in the Heavenly Fire, but what he gained was not what he wanted. He did not want his universe to become a cold, lifeless, and cold world.

Su Ping slowly released the Yuan Dao Yan Divine Technique, and heavenly fire enveloped his body. The temperature suddenly rose sharply, causing Su Ping to feel a burning pain, but it was still within his tolerance range.

Now, he can stand amidst the heavenly fire without relying on the divine arts of the Golden Crow clan.

Although he hadn't tested it, Su Ping knew that his physical body was far superior to what it had been before.

"It's been so long, I should go back to the shop. It's been more than half a month since I left. I wonder if those guys have come over and formed an alliance yet..." Thinking of the insect swarm and those supreme beings outside, a cold glint flashed in Su Ping's eyes. He stopped cultivating and prepared to return.

Whoosh!

Su Ping's figure flickered as he stepped out of the heavenly fire.

The Crimson Sky Domain Lord on the outside of the barrier's edge widened in surprise. She immediately approached, sensing the rapidly rising temperature around her. She restrained herself, not showing any discomfort, and asked Su Ping, "Have you finished your cultivation?"

She looked Su Ping up and down. His clothes had long been burned away by the heavenly fire, leaving him completely exposed. Her gaze was as if she were looking at an exquisite sculpture, sparkling with admiration.

Su Ping showed no embarrassment or shyness, and boldly controlled the surface flesh and blood to solidify into a set of clothes.

Reaching their level, not to mention physical organs, they could even control their own bodies to change sex or race if they wanted to. However, possessing the mindset of their original gender, Su Ping's mind was still relatively normal, and he wouldn't do anything strange.
