Chapter 320: The calamity comes, the fire spirit emerges

It took three full years to cultivate the Yin-Yang Phantom Fire from the late fourth stage to perfection. All four flames that Xu Yuanchang had exchanged for were refined and fed, and most of the low-level materials in the space were also consumed.

Several things went wrong along the way, and the two phantom fires came into violent conflict due to the imbalance of power between them.

Every time it was a crisis of urgency. Xu Yuanchang used the Magic Glass Mirror and his powerful strength that had been upgraded to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to forcibly reverse the situation by slightly weakening, supplementing, and isolating it, thus avoiding a fatal collision between the Yin and Yang flames.

The hardships involved are unknown to outsiders. After going through hardships and difficulties, Xu Yuanchang has a deeper understanding of the Yin-Yang Magic Fire.

Two phantom fires formed a natural formation of yin-yang fish with their heads and tails connected, with light and mist diffused and winding, and it was polished into a natural beauty without anyone noticing.

A small space contains a great scene, and everything changes in an instant.

The remaining fire in the space was refined three times in detail, like peeling off silk threads from a cocoon, removing the emotions of fear, killing, tyranny, destruction, etc. hidden deep in the ice and fire, leaving only a bean-sized ball of pure flame, the energy of the broken fire pill, and pure spirituality.

He didn't need the remnant fire to leave too much behind, including its intelligence.

It's just a fire starter, too much of it will cause harm.

Looking at the circling and balanced Yin-Yang fish shape, Xu Yuanchang realized that the time had come. With a blank face, he took out the remaining fire that seemed like it could be extinguished in one breath. He had deduced it countless times and was 60 to 70 percent sure of success.

A beam of green magic power shot out, slowly pulling the remaining fire and landing it at the center of the swirling Yin-Yang Fire.

"Boom!", the Yin-Yang fish shape boiled at a speed visible to the naked eye, the light mist surged, and the two phantom fires that had been living in peace with each other were frightened and fled to both ends. Their spiritual instincts were to seek good fortune and avoid danger, and they dared not approach the high-level flames to avoid the consequences of being swallowed.

They never dared to think that they could devour high-level flames in turn.

A silver curtain of light suddenly rose up, covering the Yin-Yang Fire that were trying to escape, and remained indifferent as they crashed into it.

"point!"

Xu Yuanchang had a deep understanding of the nature of the Yin-Yang Phantom Fire. Two golden rays of light cut through like silk threads, separating two fine and balanced pieces of energy from the ice and fire, and shot into the bodies of the two panicked phantom fires without any explanation.

He had no choice but to help the two useless guys complete the first time.

The phantom fire, which tasted the sweetness but did not feel the danger, aroused the wildness and greed in the body.

They are ready to make a move, watching closely, and quickly forming a new balance between each other.

The Yin-Yang fish surrounded the remaining fire, testing, retreating, and attacking countless times. Even the timing of the two phantom fires' movements were almost identical, with a hint of sinisterness in their vulgarity, which made Xu Yuanchang's mouth twitch a few times.

It really wasn't him who taught them. Maybe the two guys learned it on their own.

A tacit understanding was also developed between them.

Xu Yuanchang removed the silver light curtain. He was very patient and silently watched the two baby fist-sized phantom fires spying on the tiny flame in the middle. He drooled as he watched their wonderful performance of spinning around in circles.

After a dazzling series of false attacks, the Yin and Yang flames suddenly moved at the same time.

He rushed forward at high speed and retreated just as quickly.

Xu Yuanchang had sharp eyes and saw clearly that the two little guys almost collided with each other. They bit off a little bit of residual fire energy of the same size, and they were excited and circling faster and faster.

After taking a difficult step, they continued to launch bold and continuous attacks.

When only a little bit of fire was left, Xu Yuanchang took action. A golden light flashed, and the remaining fire was accurately split into two. The two phantom fires fought over and shared it, avoiding the danger of explosion caused by the collision of the Yin and Yang flames.

The phantom fire that absorbed the fire energy expanded outward uncontrollably.

The range of their circling expanded more than times, and they finally reached a new balance, while the Yin-Yang Flame fell into a deep sleep.

The Yin-Yang fish pattern rotates at a balanced speed.

Xu Yuanchang, who was pushed aside, watched silently, and his heart slowly settled down.

The most dangerous level has been passed, and the rest is to wait and see whether the Yin-Yang Fantasy Fire can condense a fire pill from the huge energy and open up its spiritual intelligence to become a fire spirit-like existence.

Xu Yuanchang did not dare to take it lightly, as any mistake might lead to all his efforts being wasted.

When he was free, he piled the fourth- and fifth-level materials on the Creation Altar, melted the refined essence into the phantom armor on his body, stacked them layer by layer, and continued to nurture the phantom glass mirror in the hope that it would be more compatible with himself.

The waiting process was particularly long, and five years passed slowly.

Almost all other materials in Xu Yuanchang's space were consumed, and 30% of the hundred-foot-sized sixth-level water jade sand mine was also consumed.

The phantom armor on his body has five layers stacked up, which is exquisite and dreamy, and shines brightly.

The magic mirror was integrated into the acupoints of the left hand, and he used it as easily as moving his fingers with his arm.

What made him feel helpless was that his cultivation had almost stagnated. It was the first time that he felt the bottleneck so clearly. No matter how much energy the Creation Altar converted and absorbed into his body, it would slowly dissipate into the world.

He simply stopped the meaningless waste and focused more on the circling yin-yang fish pattern.

The hazy light was like fog and had blended the dark green and red into one.

It forms a hazy, blurred and restrained wonderful scenery.

Xu Yuanchang carefully observed every slight change of the Yin-Yang Fantasy Fire. He could feel the formation of two spiritual intelligences, which were maturing day by day, but for some reason they had not yet broken through the barriers.

Until one day, Xu Yuanchang suddenly felt creepy, and he suddenly looked up at the sky.

Through the roof of the secret room, he saw black clouds gathering in the pitch-black night sky. Dark red lightning, which was rare in the dark world, was leaping through the clouds. The extremely terrifying yet familiar power of heaven and earth was condensing at a rapid speed.

"Thunderbolt... Damn it."

Xu Yuanchang was shocked, and in an instant he realized that it was the two phantom fires he had cultivated that brought about the catastrophe of heaven and earth.

My scalp went numb. Was it necessary to make such a big fuss just to grow two fifth-level flames?
As far as he knew, even if a seventh- or eighth-level cultivator entered the dark world, he would not encounter a heavenly calamity.

You think too highly of him. How could he deserve such honor?

His eyes fell on the Yin-Yang fish pattern in the secret room, which was suddenly spinning faster and faster. It was shining brightly and waves of mist were rising up. He immediately realized that he was just affected by the Yin-Yang Illusion Fire.

Zeng Wanglou, who lived on the top of the mountain, was also alarmed at the first moment. He also had a look of shock and disbelief. At first he thought that he was unlucky and had provoked a heavenly calamity. Then he found that the target of the calamity was the courtyard where Xu Xiaozi was in seclusion halfway up the mountain.

With a wave of his sleeve, he sent Xu Shengtian, who was unaware that something was wrong, away.

What appeared in the sky was a rare "disaster", aimed at the Yin-Yang phantom fire that Xu was about to create.

The range is only ten miles, but all living beings within it will suffer from a minor heavenly calamity.

It is almost impossible for cultivators below the fifth level to escape, and ordinary fifth-level cultivators will suffer serious damage. Zeng Wanglou shouted to the chaotic and noisy place at the foot of the mountain: "All cultivators, within thirty breaths, please leave Yunzhai Mountain ten miles away to avoid being affected by the minor heavenly calamity."

The Yunzhai Mountain he was talking about was the top of the mountain where he lived, and the rumbling sound could be heard dozens of miles away.

The huge noise caused by the small heavenly calamity has awakened most of the cultivators in Bianhuan City. People are in panic. They all noticed the unusual lightning in the sky and only realized what was happening after hearing the sound.

Zeng Wanglou waved his hands and threw some slow-moving guys away without any hesitation.

Fortunately, the area within a radius of ten miles nearby was not a busy city area, and the monks did not live densely. Many frightened monks were frightened and flew away, while monks in the distance excitedly rushed towards the east of the city.

Records of heavenly tribulations are mostly found in ancient books. How can we have the chance to witness them with our own eyes in real life?
Besides being frightened, everyone felt it was novel and exciting.

Zeng Wanglou drove the monk out and appeared ten miles away. He didn't like being struck by lightning.

With his abilities, he should be able to safely survive the seemingly minor heavenly tribulation, but the intensity of the minor heavenly tribulation will increase depending on the strength of the cultivators in the area.

Instead of helping, he stayed to cause trouble for Xu.

Grandmaster Xi Yuelou appeared nearby, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked in a voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist Zeng, what's going on?"

He looked around but didn't see Xu Yuanchang. The atmosphere in the area covered by the heavenly tribulation was quite chaotic, with lightning all around. It was difficult to use his spiritual sense. He guessed that this might be related to Xu Yuanchang who was in seclusion?

That kid is weird and has a mysterious connection with the upper realm, and can invite experts to help him repeatedly.

Zeng Wanglou stared at the eye of the calamity that had already taken shape in the sky. With Xu's ability to resist the attack of a sixth-level master for half an hour, it was more than enough for him to survive the small thunder calamity in front of him. It would not be a problem.

But there is one thing, the calamity must be borne by the Phantom Fire that is transcending the calamity. If the master takes action on its behalf, it seems to hinder the success or failure of the Phantom Fire's transformation?

He shouted towards the direction of Yunzhai Mountain: "The catastrophe has come, and it has nothing to do with the owner of the object and other people..."

Before he finished his words, there was a loud thunder, and a red lightning ball accompanied by lightning fell from the sky covered with dark clouds. The courtyard halfway up the mountain was shattered in an instant, and the protective formation that had been set up was swept away.

The power of heaven and earth was overwhelming, and Xu Yuanchang heard the faint reminder from Lao Zeng in the distance.

He floated backwards under tremendous pressure, his body shining with silver and gold, with strands of light floating up and down, and phantom armor appearing and disappearing.

Giving up on blocking the phantom fire that brought about the thunder calamity, he only needed to resolve the minor attacks that affected himself.

He had heard of "transforming past calamities", which meant eliminating past calamities and becoming a spirit.

His mind was rapidly thinking about the common sense he knew about the minor heavenly tribulation. Dazzling lightning and thunder exploded above his head. Not only did his skin feel numb and his hair stood up, the huge impact force made him sway a few times as if he was in a torrent.

He used the magic mirror and magic armor to easily block the attack of thunder. Compared with the despair he felt when he was facing the catastrophe of heaven and earth with only the fourth level of cultivation, he found that the catastrophe was not terrible. With his current cultivation and means, it was more than enough to block it.

He had retreated three hundred feet away, and the area where the secret room was originally located had long since become a ruin.

The bright green and scarlet flames expanded to an area of ​​forty or fifty feet, swirling to form a spectacular sight of raging waves. The lightning and fire were annihilated in it, leaving only tiny jumping lightning flashes, and a huge and blazing aura was rising rapidly.

The dark eye of disaster in the sky seemed to be pressing down on the top of the mountain, and then the second and third thunderbolts roared down.

Xu Yuanchang, who was watching from the sidelines, was attacked by a thunder ball, which he easily resolved again.

He was a little worried about whether the phantom fire, which had not yet fully transformed, could withstand the simultaneous attacks of two thunderbolts.
Seeing the Yin-Yang fish shape swirling and stirring like a giant millstone, the green and red flames were clearly distinguished, entangled in the two lightning balls, and quickly consumed the violent burst of lightning.

In less than three breaths, the two balls of fire mist and waves that exploded were dissolved and divided by Sisi, and the waves soon subsided.

Xu Yuanchang was a little surprised. He always felt that the "calamity of transformation" recorded in the classics was somewhat inconsistent with the thunder catastrophe he saw with his own eyes.

Is it that the catastrophe that came from the dark world is not powerful enough?
Or is it that the Yin-Yang Fantasy Fire that he nurtured and cultivated was too powerful?

Grandmaster Xi Yuelou, who was watching from a distance, was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close. He recognized the flickering fire mist under the calamity cloud at a glance, and muttered: "Dual-colored phantom fire, Yin-Yang fish formation, no wonder it can attract the calamity of transformation, it is about to give birth to the Yin-Yang phantom fire essence."

He racked his brains but couldn't figure out how Xu Yuanchang had created the "Yin-Yang Magic Fire Essence" that only existed in ancient books?

The Yin-Yang Magic Fire cannot be melted and will explode if touched. It is extremely difficult to cultivate it to the fourth level.

What’s more, it is a fifth-level fire spirit that has been reborn?

Zeng Wanglou showed a hint of envy in his eyes. The young man was very courageous. He dared to give up a fifth-level residual fire with infinite potential in exchange for a phantom fire essence that suited himself. It was estimated that only Xu Xiaozi would make such a deal.

He also couldn't figure out what method Xu Yuanchang used to integrate the two so tacitly?
No matter how knowledgeable he was, he could not recognize the divine light of creation that had once shone brightly thousands of years ago.

The monks who were watching the excitement from all sides, including many fifth-floor masters, felt their scalps tingling as they saw three lightning balls falling from the sky almost simultaneously. They put themselves in the monks' shoes and thought that if they were in their shoes, they would definitely be seriously injured.

I don’t know how many thunder balls will come next.

Every attack adds one more thunder ball. Just thinking about it makes me feel despair.

However, all that was seen was a sudden eruption of fire on the Yunzhai Mountain in the distance, the clouds in the sky suddenly dissipated, the lightning disappeared, the night sky was covered like a curtain, and everything returned to normal.

“That’s all?”

"It feels a bit anticlimactic, I haven't seen enough."

"Yes, which fellow Taoist is going through the tribulation?"

"I don't know. Let me ask, which senior's residence is located in Yunzhai Mountain?"

Everyone was talking about it, and soon they found out that a mysterious Mr. Mu lived there. It was said that he had killed three sixth-level Black Spirit masters when he went out, and he usually stayed at home. The fifth-floor monks in the city who had close relations with the old sword saint and Grandmaster Xi had never dealt with Mr. Mu.

"Disperse, everyone, don't gather around and disturb the master's peace."

Xi Yuelou watched Fellow Daoist Zeng disappear, heard the random guesses of the guys nearby who were watching the fun, and hurriedly shouted to drive them away.

After driving everyone away, he flashed to Yunzhai Mountain, where rocks had collapsed and the ground was in ruins. There were lingering traces of thunder and fire in the air. He passed through the invisible restriction opened by Xu Yuanchang and saw the two phantom fire spirits who had caused such a big commotion.

To be precise, it was a ball of dark green and red mixed fire mist, with two pairs of gem-like eyes flashing in it.

The fire mist squatted on Xu Yuan's shoulder, constantly changing its shape, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

After suffering a thunder tribulation and advancing to the fifth level, the Yin and Yang Phantom Fire Spirits were able to coexist peacefully and no longer repel each other.

Xi Yuelou made eye contact with the two little guys.

There were ripples in the air and phantoms were constantly disappearing and reappearing. He was actually so emotionally disturbed by the two little guys who had just advanced to the next level that he secretly thought they were amazing.
