Chapter 1349 Polishing (2)

“Who’s there?”

“What is going on?”

The two God Emperors on both sides of the pit noticed that Su Ping was cultivating right in the Heavenly Fire. Their eyes widened in shock.

Where is this monster from? Why does he dare set foot in the Heavenly Fire?

It had to be noted that the fire was used to forge weapons and refine ultimate pills. Even experts like them stayed clear from that fire.

The Heavenly Fire could burn everything. Not even their protective items were safe from being corrupted by the fire.

“The realm master brought him here. Is he a genius of the Yan Clan?”

“What a sturdy body. What an amazing skill!”

Both God Emperors stopped what they were doing; their eyes glittered as they looked at Su Ping cultivating in the pit. A body as sturdy as his was comparable to a top artifact. Inside the Heavenly Fire

.

Su Ping gradually entered a cultivation state. He turned around and looked at the master of the Red Dome Realm; she was still there. He waved at her, as a way to assure her that he was fine. He then closed his eyes and controlled the Heavenly Fire to polish his body with the Original Divine Fire Technique. He also absorbed the energy to further his cultivation.

seen

This Heavenly Fire seems able to crush and disperse normal laws and paths; they fall apart the moment they come into contact with the fire. Su Ping’s eyes glittered.; that fire was more strange and domineering than powerful.

The realm master took a while to recover from her stupor; she stood there, watching how Su Ping was completely devoted to absorbing Heavenly Fire. In the end she withdrew her gaze with a bitter smile.

The Dao Child she invited seemed to be carrying countless secrets. She even suspected that, given enough time, his body would reach the God Emperor level before his own cultivation did.

There were gods who never cultivated any paths and simply refined their bodies. However, they could only become God Emperors at best, and couldn’t advance further. Still, they were all monsters in their level; they could crush everything with fists and feet alone. Only the Ancestral Gods could suppress them… The realm master’s eyes glittered. She felt that Su Ping would grow to their height if he kept cultivating in the Heavenly Fire.

It was a fire used to forge God Emperor’s weapons.

Even weapons of such levels would deform under such heat, not to mention living creatures.

Once Su Ping’s training was completed, his body would become sturdier than an artifact and he would be able to crush anyone at his level.

Just as expected, none of the Dao Children are ordinary… the realm master thought.

While she considered herself a genius, she was fully aware that she wasn’t as talented as the Dao Children from the Heaven Path Institute.

At least, she never became one of them.

The realm master decided to stay there, setting up a barrier to sit down at the edge of the ninth barrier. She wanted to see how long the boy could persist.

Time flew.

In the Fire God Palace—there were a lot of disciples discussing the Dao Child who had just arrived.

They had managed to gather a lot of rumors about the Dao Child. Some were exaggerations, while others were downright false. Still, all the people were talking about them excitedly.

Seeing is believing. They had personally seen Su Ping cultivate the Heavenly Fire Technique to the thirteenth stage and invoke his fire incarnation

Such a miracle happened right before their eyes. Their minds couldn’t help but run wild, finding the Dao Children of the Heaven Path Institute even more mysterious than before.

In the pit underneath the Fire God Palacemany disciples were cultivating.

The further down, the fewer disciples were present.

Some elders were also cultivating in the pit. It was a holy cultivation land for them.

“I’ve recently made a breakthrough. I could only cultivate on the second floor in the past, but now I’m able to reach the third floor.”

“What a coincidence. So can I.”

“Me too.”

On the fourth floor-a crimson-haired girl was training in seclusion. The space behind the barrier was extremely vast and hot. Despite the barrier’s protection, she felt she would be consumed the moment she touched the Heavenly Fire directly.

That pressure made her work even harder.

“Is it me? Somehow the Heavenly Fire’s power seems to be weakening.” The girl opened her eyes in confusion, suspecting it was all in her imagination. After all, the Heavenly Fire had been there for countless years. It was as stable as the rise and the setting of the sun. How could it possibly wane?

Her family’s experts told her that the fire was eternal. It would never perish or decline.

“Have I grown stronger?” The girl examined herself, only to find that it wasn’t so.

Aside from the girl, the elders of the Fire God Palace on the fifth and sixth floors were having the same impression.

In the deepest part of the pit-behind the barrier on the ninth floor.

That barrier isolated the pit from the outside world. Heavenly Fire could be touched directly on that level.

In the middle of the ever-burning Heavenly Fire—there was a tiny black spot that looked like floating ash. Those who had an obsessive-compulsive disorder would probably think that such a blot was an eyesore.

It’s been half a year…

At the edge of the barrier—the realm master’s face was red, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She had been with Su Ping for half a year; it would usually be like the blink of an eye for her, but it technically was as long as span of a thousand years in that place.

Even though she was protected by the barrier, she was becoming exhausted after staying there for so long.

She felt at a loss when she looked at Su Ping, who was still inside the Heavenly Fire. This Dao Child is an absolute monster. She had no doubt that even if he ran into a God Emperor, he would have the means to escape.

“As expected of a Dao Child from the Heaven Path Institute…” The other two God Emperors did their jobs and collected fire energy while glancing at Su Ping from time to time. They had chatted telepathically with the realm master and learned of the young man’s identity.

Such a Dao Child had yet to become a God Emperor, but he had accomplished what most God Emperors couldn’t.

They wouldn’t have accepted such development if he weren’t one of the Institute’s Dao Children who were usually unreasonable.

Su Ping slowly opened his eyes. The burning flames all over his body were absorbed into his skin; his flesh contained enormous power. The Heavenly Fire had burnt the many laws and paths he knew; he then reorganized them and made them even more powerful.

The Heavenly Fire burns everything coldly and mercilessly. It’s not the Dao Heart I’m looking for…

He examined the matters of his Dao Heart while polishing his body, but the fire’s nature was not what he was looking for; he didn’t want his universe to turn into a barren and desolate world.

Su Ping slowly canceled the Original Divine Fire Technique. The surrounding fire covered his body and made the temperature rise at a fast rate. Su Ping felt a little bit of pain, but it was still bearable.

He was currently able to stand inside the Heavenly Fire without relying on the Golden Crows’ skill.

Although he hadn’t tested it yet, he knew that his body was much sturdier than before.

It’s been a long time since I returned to my store. More than two weeks have passed in the outside world; I wonder if those guys have come around and made an alliance… He became cold upon remembering the worm tide and the Celestial State experts; then he stopped cultivating as he planned his return.

Whoosh!

Su Ping flashed out of the Heavenly Fire.

The realm master felt refreshed upon seeing him exit the place, then she approached him. She held back upon sensing the rapidly rising temperature, not revealing any discomfort. She asked, “Is your training complete?”

She evaluated Su Ping’s body. His clothes had long been burned by the Heavenly Fire and was completely naked at the moment. Her eyes were shining, as if she were looking at a delicate statue.

Su Ping wasn’t bashful, nor was he embarrassed. He simply controlled his skin and condensed some clothes.

For someone as strong as him, not just turning skin into clothes; he could even transform into the opposite sex or a different species if he wanted to. However, Su Ping was still a normal man, and he wasn’t planning on doing anything weird.
