Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 469: Hundred-Refinement Fire Tempering Method, Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirit

Chapter 469: Hundred-Refinement Fire Tempering Method, Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirit

Night had deepened.

Shen Mo returned to his room.

Suspended before him was the treasured orb gifted by Zhu Lan.

The orb was about the size of a fist, entirely crimson and radiating a warm aura.

It seemed to contain something within, but the contents were unclear from the outside.

Swoosh.

Sui Xing flew out from his embrace, circling the orb with curiosity.

“Dad, what is this?”

A line of text appeared beside Sui Xing.

He still couldn’t speak, but he had learned to condense his power into words that hovered beside him.

Shen Mo stroked his chin. “This is a treasure someone gave me after I saved them today.”

“I was just about to open it.”

“The problem is—I can’t.”

“I’ve tried spiritual power, blood qi, divine lightning force, and blood essence, but it’s like throwing a stone into the ocean—no response at all.”

Hearing this, Sui Xing became even more curious.

He circled the orb again and again.

After a while, he suddenly said, “Dad, what about those three Eternal Flames in your Divine Palace? Why not try them?”

“I feel like this orb is very similar to something that’s born alongside Eternal Flames.”

Shen Mo’s heart stirred.

Sui Xing’s words reminded him.

He had tried every kind of power but hadn’t considered the Eternal Flames.

Shen Mo stretched out his palm, and the Red Lotus Flame surged forth in his hand.

The crimson flame moved to burn the orb.

The orb immediately reacted.

Like snow slowly melting under spring sunshine, it began to dissolve.

However, at this speed, it was uncertain how long it would take to fully melt.

Shen Mo couldn’t wait that long.

He extended his other palm, and the Sun Essence Flame emerged as well.

Two Eternal Flames burned simultaneously.

The heat surged violently.

The orb began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into droplets.

With each lick of the flames from the Red Lotus Flame and Sun Essence Flame, the droplets were one by one devoured.

“It really is an Eternal Flame companion entity. I just don’t know which Eternal Flame it belongs to.”

Shen Mo nodded slightly.

The Nine Nether Ice Flame had the Nine Nether Ice Crystal.

The Red Lotus Flame had the Fire Lotus.

The Sun Essence Flame had the Sun Essence Stone.

All were Eternal Flames and their companion entities.

He suddenly recalled that these companion items could be exchanged for in the Heavenly Dao Treasury.

But the Eternal Flames themselves could not.

Perhaps, Eternal Flames were not native to this world?

Shen Mo didn’t think too deeply on it. He continued feeding spiritual power to the two flames.

Two hours later, the orb completely melted, revealing a jade slip about the length of a thumb.

The jade slip was shrouded in flames, and reaching out to touch it brought a faint burning sensation.

Shen Mo was greatly intrigued.

He pressed it to his forehead.

Boom!

A torrent of scripture surged into his mind.

Buzz!

It felt as if rivers and oceans were crashing through Shen Mo’s mind.

His body suddenly stiffened.

Sui Xing was puzzled, but he didn’t ask. Instead, he circled Shen Mo with vigilance, guarding against any danger.

Like a son worried about his father's safety.

A moment later, Shen Mo gradually emerged from that state and rubbed his temples.

“The fourth level of the Great Wilderness Flame Manipulation Technique... it even includes the locations of two Eternal Flames…”

As he slowly digested the information in his mind, Shen Mo revealed a smile.

The Great Wilderness Flame Manipulation Technique was created by a powerful senior known as the Great Wilderness Venerable.

He traveled across the great rivers and lands, searching far and wide for the whereabouts of Eternal Flames.

But in the end, he found only two and barely managed to subdue them.

Even if he could find more Eternal Flames, his body had reached its limit and could no longer contain another.

The locations of the two Eternal Flames—Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame and Void Scorching Flame—were recorded within this jade slip.

Together with the fourth level of the Great Wilderness Flame Manipulation Technique, they were left behind for a destined successor. frёewebηovel.cѳm

“The fourth level of the Great Wilderness Flame Manipulation Technique is different from the third. It’s not a combat art using Eternal Flames, but... a secret method to nurture them?”

Shen Mo carefully absorbed the scriptures in his mind and suddenly revealed a look of delight.

Eternal Flames were among the most ancient, mysterious, and precious divine objects in the world.

They were exceedingly rare under heaven.

Because so few had come into contact with them, knowledge of how to nourish and enhance them was even scarcer.

Shen Mo’s method of cultivating Eternal Flames had always been rough and instinctual.

He would basically feed them whatever heavenly materials and treasures they seemed to like.

However, those materials were themselves quite rare.

When he couldn’t find them, he had to spend battle merits to redeem them from the Heavenly Dao Treasury.

The fourth level of the Great Wilderness Flame Manipulation Technique contained a complete secret art called the Hundred-Refinement Fire Tempering Method.

Cultivating this art allowed one to refine a strand of spiritual power a hundred times within the body, and by combining it with some not-so-rare heavenly materials, one could create a Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirit.

The Great Wilderness Venerable had tested this method on multiple Eternal Flames.

He discovered that they all displayed a strong desire for the Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirit.

Their reaction was no less intense than when encountering their favorite rare materials!

By feeding them these fire spirits, the Eternal Flame’s abilities in all aspects could be upgraded by three levels, with overall power more than doubled!

Once an Eternal Flame had been enhanced by three levels, its desire for the Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirit would decrease significantly.

However, using the Hundred-Refinement Fire Tempering Method, one could also refine Thousand-Refinement Fire Spirits and Ten-Thousand-Refinement Fire Spirits.

These corresponded to advancement from level four to six, and seven to nine, respectively.

“So in other words... with some spiritual power, a little bit of time, and a pile of low-grade materials, I can achieve the equivalent effect of those extremely rare treasures.”

Shen Mo couldn’t help but praise aloud.

This senior cultivator was truly extraordinary.

To create such a technique out of thin air!

Shen Mo examined the method in detail and discovered that the number of fire spirits needed increased with each stage.

The first level required only two Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirits.

The second level needed four.

The third required eight.

It doubled each time.

As for the Thousand-Refinement and Ten-Thousand-Refinement Fire Spirits needed for later levels, the pattern was the same.

Still, since the required materials weren’t hard to find, he could just redeem them directly from the Heavenly Dao Treasury.

Sooner or later, he would be able to fully enhance all three of his Eternal Flames to the ninth level.

“The materials for the Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirit... I have them in my storage ring. Might as well try refining two of them now.”

Shen Mo retrieved the corresponding materials from his storage ring.

There was no need to use a cauldron. Just extending his palm and summoning the Eternal Flame was enough to begin refining.

Those earth-grade materials quickly transformed under the burn of the Red Lotus Flame into the needed forms.

Shen Mo had long since mastered control over this Eternal Flame.

He could cleanly separate the various materials, adjusting the Red Lotus Flame’s temperature locally for each.

This allowed each material to burn to the precise degree required.

Then, a stream of spiritual power surged from Shen Mo’s dantian into his palm.

The spiritual energy wove through the materials.

The medicinal essence of the materials fused into it.

As time passed, a strange spirit form suddenly appeared in Shen Mo’s palm.

And so, the first Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirit was formed.

It resembled a newborn child, but its gaze was empty, completely unaware of the world.

At best, it could be considered a low-grade soul spirit with faint intelligence.

“No wonder the Great Wilderness Venerable called it a Fire Spirit—it really does possess a trace of life and awareness.”

Shen Mo was slightly surprised.

He used spiritual power to bind the Hundred-Refinement Fire Spirit, then repeated the process to create a second one.

“Should I enhance the Red Lotus Flame... or the Sun Essence Flame?”

Shen Mo fell into thought.
