Chapter 872: Chapter 859 Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture

Just over ten feet!

Ye Zhen’s newly emerged Fifth Innate Bloodline in his Dantian’s "heart" continuously absorbed energy, growing to a full ten feet in length, surpassing all previous bloodlines!

Now, with a single glance, Ye Zhen saw the Fifth Innate Bloodline standing like a towering leader, while the previous four bloodlines seemed like little siblings, no longer insignificant!

Only the second Black Dragon Bloodline’s aura seemed on par with the newly born Fifth Innate Bloodline, but in size, it was still shorter by twenty percent.

Even though Ye Zhen’s Fifth Innate Bloodline had surged to ten feet, the "heart" within Ye Zhen’s Dantian continued to rhythmically pump pure energy into the newly born Fifth Innate Bloodline relentlessly.

However, the newly born Fifth Innate Bloodline seemed to have reached its growth limit. While its length no longer increased, the continuous infusion of pure energy allowed it to condense rapidly, seemingly forging veins directly.

Out of curiosity, Ye Zhen cautiously directed his Divine Sense into the newly born Fifth Innate Bloodline.

As his Divine Sense entered, Ye Zhen let out a sigh of relief!

This newly born Fifth Innate Bloodline was indeed his own. The moment his Divine Sense entered, he perceived everything inside the Fifth Innate Bloodline, feeling a sense of control over it.

At that moment, the "heart" within Ye Zhen’s Dantian gave a violent pulse, and a wave of Divine Soul Power swiftly surged along the pure energy into the Fifth Innate Bloodline.

Then, following the Divine Soul Power that Ye Zhen had extended into the Fifth Innate Bloodline, it rushed into Ye Zhen’s mind.

This frightened Ye Zhen, turning his face pale!

Because once a martial artist reaches the Establishment Realm and condenses the Innate Divine Soul, they can, in the absence of a physical body, stimulate the Innate Divine Soul to possess another martial artist’s body for rebirth!

This scenario was eerily similar to possession, which terrified Ye Zhen!

For a moment, Ye Zhen even considered that if it truly was the Earth Core Fire Commander, an immensely terrifying entity, attempting to possess him, he would have almost no power to resist.

Fortunately, the Divine Soul Power, at the instant it plunged into Ye Zhen’s Soul Sea, transformed into a vast amount of information, swarming into Ye Zhen’s mind, causing his brain to ache intensely.

However, Ye Zhen couldn’t afford to worry about this, and immediately sat cross-legged, focusing intently, meticulously receiving piece after piece of information flooding into his mind.

The thousands of pieces of information pouring into his mind were none other than the Earth Core Fire Commander’s true Martial Arts Inheritance, each piece containing insights on cultivation from the Earth Core Fire Commander.

For a moment, Ye Zhen became obsessed with sorting through this information, full of amazement; he truly hadn’t imagined that martial skills could be used in such a way, where a simple small adjustment could double speed, massively enhancing the power of martial skills!

This was indeed the Earth Core Fire Commander’s true Martial Arts Inheritance!

Although the information poured into Ye Zhen’s mind in an instant, it took him a full half-day to barely make sense of it, with much longer contemplation required to fully assimilate it!

Moreover, among this information was not only the Earth Core Fire Commander’s Martial Arts Inheritance but also some personal aspects of the Earth Core Fire Commander’s life, including the situation of his beloved confidante, primarily to aid his successor in exacting revenge.

The Earth Core Fire Commander’s surname was Di, and his full name was Di Baimo, a renowned figure of the Human Clan, whose fame and primary cultivation technique was known as the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture!

At this moment, the inheritance passed to Ye Zhen prominently features the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture.

The Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture is an ancient skill with no specific grade, yet judging by the contents recorded, it was incredibly powerful, far exceeding any cultivation techniques Ye Zhen had encountered thus far.

Even Ye Zhen’s previously cherished Shattered Jade Heart Scripture paled in comparison to the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture.

Indeed, this was Ye Zhen’s impression after studying the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture!

The "heart" that Ye Zhen saw in the mountain’s embrace and later transferred into Ye Zhen’s Dantian was nothing but a Xuan Fire Seed from the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture.

It was the Inheritance Flame Seed of the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, a seed that could only be condensed upon mastering the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture to a Divine Transformation level!

With this Inheritance Flame Seed, future inheritors could easily initiate the cultivation of the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, bypassing its most difficult entry step, and begin practicing the scripture directly.

According to the general principles of the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, fire’s nature is unpredictable, ever-changing, and if a different method is applied, it implies that different practitioners of the same Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture will achieve differing results.

Nevertheless, during the early stages of cultivation, the processes are quite similar!

According to the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, the cultivation realms are categorized into Mortal Fire, Human Fire, Ground Fire, Heavenly Fire, Spiritual Fire, True Fire, Void Flame, and Xuan Fire, among others.

Among these, the Mortal Fire stage serves as the entry-level cultivation, where converging the Mortal Fire Seed and Xuan Fire Spirit Vein poses extreme difficulty.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Fire Realm acts as a significant dividing line; prior to reaching this realm, a martial artist’s cultivation path appears straightforward yet, upon attaining the Spiritual Fire Realm, individual pathways and cultivation outcomes diverge significantly.

In ancient times, there were quite a few martial artists who practiced the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture, but the number of martial artists with ordinary cultivation and combat power was not small either. However, there were several formidable martial artists with extraordinary combat power like the Earth Core Fire Commander.

The main reason was that, after elevating the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture to the Spiritual Fire realm, the fates and opportunities of each individual differed, resulting in the cultivation of different spiritual fires and, consequently, diverse combat power!

Like the Earth Core Fire Commander, when his cultivation broke through to the Spiritual Fire realm, he inadvertently cultivated a kind of spiritual fire called the Nether Spirit Azure Flame, powerful enough to instantly kill martial artists of the same level.

With it, he roamed the world and later, relying on his formidable combat power, he collected resources and cultivated dozens of spiritual fires and three Void Flames!

Among them, the Senluo Void Flame was the most famous, with the most formidable combat power, and it was precisely by relying on this Senluo Void Flame that he established his renown as the Earth Core Fire Commander, achieving outstanding military exploits on the Human Demon Battlefield.

However, in the end, due to avenging a beloved confidante, he suffered repeated serious injuries and fell helplessly!

Before his fall, in order to ensure that his martial arts inheritor could grow stronger in the shortest time possible, he used his final strength and the hundred-odd ancient rare herbs he had accumulated to condense the Xuan Fire Seed of the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture.

This Xuan Fire Seed could not only allow his martial arts inheritor to directly leap over the most difficult entry step of the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture and directly condense the Mortal Fire Seed Xuan Fire Spirit Vein.

It could also enhance the aptitude of his inheritor!

The Earth Core Fire Commander himself had extraordinary talent; back then, he was a Seven Veins Heavenly Pulse Martial Artist, eventually merging the seven veins to establish a mansion, considered a genius among average martial artists.

However, as cultivation rose, the gap in talent between Seven Veins, Eight Veins, and Nine Veins martial artists became evident.

The Earth Core Fire Commander’s downfall in that fierce battle while being chased by his enemy Si Chen, if back then his bloodline talent had been Eight Veins instead of Seven Veins, that severe injury might not have directly led to his demise.

Feeling the pain himself, the Earth Core Fire Commander empathized with his inheritor and directly expended his essence blood to condense the highest-level inherited flame seed from the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture.

This inherited flame seed, during the martial arts inheritance, would open a new vein within the martial artist, directly forging the Xuan Fire Spirit Vein within the new vein.

Not only was vein forging less dangerous, but it could also enhance the aptitude of the martial arts inheritor, achieving two goals at once.

However, the size of the innate bloodline developed by the inherited flame seed within the inheritor’s body required an enormous amount of energy.

Not only was a tremendous amount of energy needed, but the benefits brought by the inherited flame seed to the inheritor were also related to the amount of energy.

If enough energy were available for quenching, the inherited flame seed could be elevated from the Mortal Fire Seed to the Human Fire Seed; if time allowed and energy was plentiful, even reaching the Ground Fire Seed level was possible.

At that time, when his enemy Si Chen was hunting him down relentlessly, the Earth Core Fire Commander decisively set up the Impermanence Quenching Fire Formation, using secret techniques to relocate twenty subterranean spirit veins to the area beneath the Ground Fire Heart Palace, providing energy to the inherited flame seed day and night.

These twenty subterranean spirit veins, relocated by the Earth Core Fire Commander, were originally at least of high-grade spirit veins, but after nearly ten thousand years of continuous energy extraction, especially in the first few thousand years, as all these veins were rootless, they became increasingly weak.

It was not until these last few thousand years, when the earth veins remained stationary in one location, gradually taking root, that they avoided total dissipation under the relentless extraction by this inherited flame seed, although extremely feeble, they continued to exist.

After ten thousand years of continuation, the strength of this inherited flame seed far exceeded the Earth Core Fire Commander’s expectations.

Upon the Earth Core Fire Commander’s downfall, he employed a secret technique to seal the palace for a hundred years, allowing the Ground Fire Heart Palace to possibly reemerge in time, searching for a suitable martial arts inheritor.

And after being nourished for a hundred years by the twenty subterranean spirit veins, the terrifying energy contained within this inherited flame seed could surely enhance the new innate bloodline developed to over four feet.

During the ancient times, the innate bloodlines of most martial artists measured just over three feet, and four feet was considered a very strong bloodline.

However, Ye Zhen’s fifth innate bloodline reached as long as ten feet!

This was due to the fact that the energy provided later by these rootless twenty subterranean spirit veins was decreasing!

Under normal circumstances, in a hundred years, with the massive infusion of fire attribute energy, the Xuan Fire Seed in the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture would at least be upgraded from the Mortal Fire Seed level to the Human Fire Seed level; and with two or three hundred years, it was possible to upgrade the seed to the Ground Fire level!

In the martial arts inheritance, when integrating the Mortal Fire Seed, the Xuan Fire Spirit Vein forged within the body could reach the Mortal Fire Realm, emitting the most ordinary mortal fire; if the Human Fire Seed was integrated, it could emit powerful human fire!

However, do not assume that the Mortal Fire recorded in the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture is just ordinary flames!

The Mortal Fire recorded in the Impermanence Mysterious Fire Scripture already had the capability to surpass the most ordinary humans of the ancient times effortlessly.

And during the ancient period, martial artists with innate martial arts bloodline, upon coming of age, would attain the Spirit Summoning Realm in their cultivation!

After integrating the Human Fire Seed, the Xuan Fire Spirit Vein could condense stronger human fire, under the human fire, all flesh would turn to ash, unless the martial artist had thoroughly condensed into an Acquired Spiritual Body, in which case they could withstand human fire.

Martial artists generally in the third or fourth stage of the Soul Sea Realm, those who had not cultivated into an Acquired Spiritual Body, would turn to ashes under human fire, only those who reached the peak of the fifth stage of the Soul Sea Realm, with Acquired Spiritual Body Great Perfection, could withstand human fire!

The terrifying power of human fire was such, but what left Ye Zhen extremely shocked was that after these thousands of years of accumulation, the grade of the inherited flame seed within the newly forged Xuan Fire Spirit Vein in his body was—Heavenly Fire!
