“I understand.” Jiang Li said: “What other tricks are there in the ancient culture about fire cultivation?”

“There’s contemplation of fire dragon, fire hawk as well as the fire god, the sun. Regardless of Taoism or Buddhism, they all have a fire god. The Big Sun Ru Lai is what the Buddhist contemplate.” Wang Kurong waved his hand and immediately, all sorts of fire gods started to appear in front of Jiang Li. A Big Sun Ru Lai appeared in space, emitting thousands of miles of light. The blinding golden light rendered him unable to open his eyes while the golden fire continued to stimulate his body.

Right now, Wang Kurong could conjure up all sorts of gods with the wave of a hand and deeply imprint them in a person’s spirit. He could control spirits with great ease.

Immediately, Wang Kurong waved his hand, showing all sorts of contemplation illusions to Jiang Li. All sorts of gods appeared; it was almost like creating countless gods from one thought. Even the western fire god and the ancient greek sun god appeared…

At the same time, he also explained the relationship between contemplating fire and the human body. For example, I think fire arises from one part of your organ, where the blood would gather there and create heat making that organ stronger. But the balance between fire and water was very important or one may destroy oneself in fire.

“Fire’s reputation for destruction appeared due to the contemplation of fire. It means that you didn’t control your heart fire properly and therefore is headed towards self destruction. So you must be careful. No matter what fire you cultivate, you must keep that consciousness in the depth of your heart.” Wang Kurong reminded him carefully: “I have helped you recover your withered spirit. You may begin cultivating.”

“Of course.”

Jiang Li felt that as he spoke with Wang Kurong, his spirit was no longer fatigued. A source of power seemed to have been injected into his brain cells, making his spirit very lively. In the ancient time, there were enlightened monks who could use true words to transform a withered patient into an energetic person. Now, this was what Wang Kurong did.

“This is really amazing! I wonder when I will be able to reach this state.” Jiang Li praised.

“This state is very painful. On planet Luo Sha, I ate humans for survival, can you bring yourself to do that?” Wang Kurong said calmly: “At that time, I have already fallen into the asura path. I’ve become a demon. In the long run, I would get worse and become the demon amongst demons, eventually turning into an existence similar to that of Luo Sha beasts. You were the one who saved me from hell. After coming here, I used hypnosis to help people and was finally enlightened. From eating people to saving people, this process is the struggle in the sea of pain. Eating people isn’t a sin, much like how saving people isn’t a good deed. Everything is fate. Rest assured, when I fell, you saved me from the sea of pain. When your heart is lost, I should help you too.”

“I save you, then you save me…” Jiang Li seemed to have gained a deeper level of enlightenment. He understood that Wang Kurong did indeed step foot into another state. He changed from an asura into a Buddha.

“In the Diamond Sutra, it is said that from human to Buddha is just that instant of change in thought. If evil will is born, you are a demon. When your righteous will is born, you are a Buddha.” Wang Kurong looked at the sutra: “The reason that Guan Yin Buddha ascended from elementary states to that of Buddha was because he told the people that when your heart is enlightened, the heavens and earth change instantly. Go, if you have any more troubles in cultivation we can discuss it together again.”

“Yes, I’ll be off!” Jiang Li nodded and got up to leave. He understood Wang Kurong’s heart. Kurong had entered a state that he could not comprehend. If it was up to him, he probably would be unable to change from being a cannibal to a good samaritan. However, he could find another pathway to achieving the enlightenment of a Buddha.

Next, he started cultivating the Emperor Fire Seal continuously. He practiced every single stance and contemplation. As expected, after a period of practice, his appetite increased! He needed about a kilogram of nutritional serums each day and twenty or so bottles of solar and lunar essence.

A normal master only needed tens of grams of nutritional serum each day. His body started digesting nutrition at an incredible rate. The spirit chi stored inside his body was also refined to life force in large quantities. In the short time span of two months, his life force had reached 2.5!

Aside from this, his mastery of the wind and lightning seal had also improved.

This was because the fire seal greatly increased his ability to digest nutrition, making his life force improve even more. This also boosted the speed of his wind and offensive power of his lightning.

The entire earth worked in a similar way. Without the energy from the sun, wing and lightning cannot exist. Therefore, fire was the root of all things.
