Chapter 209: True Fire Body Refinement
The figure addressed as Ancestor of the Sword Path transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the Soul Turning Tower without hesitation, completely catching Ye Yun off guard.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ve set restrictions in this tower to seal or even refine you completely?"
Laughter echoed from within the Soul Turning Tower. "Young fellow, this ancestor’s remaining soul fragment is incomplete. Without entering your tower, I’d dissipate within a century. Better gamble on your character than face certain destruction."
Ye Yun grinned. "Old man, your judgment of people remains sharp."
"Enough flattery. My soul can barely last a century. If you truly wish to help, advance your cultivation rapidly. Release my other two soul fragments within hundred years for reunion." The ancestor’s voice carried urgency.
"The Jiaoyue Dynasty’s location remains unknown, and searching Demon Race territory is like fishing needles from ocean depths. Achieving Golden Pill Dao within century might give slim chance." Ye Yun sighed heavily.
"Jiaoyue’s capital would be simpler, but Demon lands span twice human territories. Golden Pill Dao isn’t extraordinary – with sufficient training resources, you should reach it within two decades! Nascent Soul stage within century isn’t impossible." The ancestor retorted.
"Then I’ll require ancestor’s guidance." Ye Yun smiled. His hundred-year claim had been modest – with Heart of Immortals and Demons and ample resources, twenty years sufficed. Privately, he aimed for decade.
"Enough chatter. This crudely made Soul Turning Tower excels at soul nourishment. Let this ancestor recuperate undisturbed." The voice faded as the tower occupant entered deep meditation.
As the ancestor disappeared, the tunnel brightened. Stalactites overhead glowed crimson under firelight, deepening to dangerous scarlet hues.
Explosions erupted behind Ye Yun as he sprinted. Shockwaves and flames roared through confined passages, threatening to consume him. True fire’s lethal breath licked at his heels – this was Fire Dragon Cave’s true peril.
After prolonged sprinting, lush greenery appeared ahead. Ye Yun crashed through massive treetop moments before flames devoured the canopy. Rolling clear, he watched true fire reduce foliage to charcoal. Only solitary large tree stood in cliff-walled clearing, its three adjacent cave openings worn smooth by centuries of use.
Choosing the rightmost frequently-trodden path, Ye Yun entered cave illuminated by glowing orbs. Heat intensified with each step until even his enhanced physique faltered. Finding jade bottle fragments and spirit stone shards, he recognized this as cultivation site.
Sitting cross-legged, Ye Yun activated Cleansing Immortal Heart Technique. True qi shield formed as Little Absorption Technique devoured top-grade spirit stones. Despite frantic energy absorption, his reserves dwindled alarmingly.
Noticing subtle meridians expansion, Ye Yun recalled Elder Seven’s warning – unbalanced advancement between physical strength and qi capacity would hinder second stage of Qi refining breakthrough. Adjusting technique, he diverted portion of absorbed spiritual energy into bodily reinforcement rather than pure qi conversion.
Sweat-drenched and trembling, Ye Yun persisted. Given time, body and qi would balance, enabling smooth breakthrough. This fiery trial became forging ground for his ascension.
