Chapter 472: Chapter 469: Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower

"That makes sense."

Xue Lingzi nodded. Xuantian Sect and Daluo Heavenly Palace were both among the upper third-tier Sects in the Yunlan Domain, and the relationship between them was competitive, making it very easy for war to break out. As one of the outstanding figures among the disciples of the Xuantian Sect and its future successor, he would agree with Ye Xuan’s opinion even for that reason alone.

Moreover, they could hardly predict whether the people of Daluo Heavenly Palace would spread the news or not. If they didn’t do so and the other side did, they would certainly find themselves at a disadvantage when the time came.

"Let’s do that then. I’ll secretly release the news later."

Seeing Xue Lingzi nod his head, Fei Yue also agreed, and the few of them reached an agreement on the spot. As for Ouyang Tie and Leng Wusheng, although they were still somewhat reluctant, they had no better strategy to deal with the situation and could not properly object.

And so, the matter was settled.

"You don’t need to worry. The Prohibitions around the Middle-Aged Relics are very strong; they won’t be broken in a short amount of time. I estimate that even Seventh Grade Martial Venerates, those at the pinnacle of their realm, will not be able to break through the Prohibitions. According to my assessment, the power of the Prohibitions will weaken significantly after a month, and that will be the perfect time for us to explore," Xue Lingzi said indifferently.

Hearing this, Ouyang Tie and Leng Wusheng also sighed in relief. Their tense emotions eased somewhat.

"As the Inner Sect Four Demons, we’ve always had each other’s backs. Now we’ve added a junior brother, Ye Xuan. He has just begun, and although his talent is outstanding and rare in the ages, he is still green. He is capable of handling a Third Grade Martial Venerate, but any Fourth Grade Martial Venerate could suppress and slay him. Our urgent priority is to help Junior Brother Ye Xuan increase his Cultivation and break through to the Martial Venerate Realm. Junior Brother Ye Xuan, do you have any plans?" Xue Lingzi asked.

"My Cultivation still has to rely on myself," Ye Xuan felt somewhat moved in his heart. He knew that although these four people were often regarded as demons by others, they were not really such. They had a strong sense of unity and were loyal. Exactly because there were only four of them, they could gather together to talk. If there were more people, with a mix of good and bad, and constant scheming, then it would lose its flavor: "I have already condensed my Martial Soul; it’s just the transformation of True Yuan that’s still lacking. This process is not something that can be easily completed."

Condensing a Martial Soul is to a large extent related to one’s natural talent, but refining True Yuan, although closely related to Cultivation Techniques, still requires time for a slow transformation, regardless of how powerful the techniques are. It’s not a process that can be easily overcome.

"Refining True Yuan?"

Xue Lingzi revealed a thoughtful expression, pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he turned to Ye Xuan, saying, "I do have a good place to recommend to you. If you can endure there for a month, fully refining all the True Yuan in your body and breaking through to the Martial Venerate Realm in a short period of time is not a difficult task."

"Oh? Please enlighten me, Senior Brother."

Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened slightly. He had originally intended to take this opportunity to explore the relics and look for an opportunity to break through, but now that Xue Lingzi had mentioned it, how could he not be moved? After all, if he could break through to the Martial Venerate Realm before exploring the relics, he would have much more confidence in the journey a month later. Otherwise, relying on his current strength, he really didn’t have much room to perform.

"Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower?"

A sharp light suddenly flashed in Xue Lingzi’s eyes.

"The Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower is only accessible to disciples who have been with the Sect for over three years, and each entry costs four thousand merit points."

Ye Xuan was naturally aware of the existence of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower. This place was a treasure-land specially designed for the seasoned cultivators of the Xuantian Sect. Beneath the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, it was rumored to be an active volcano that had been erupting for ten thousand years. Inside this volcano surged the extremely fiery ten-thousand-year-old Earth Core Fire. This Earth Core Fire, combined with the Tower’s array, produced a terrifying fire energy that permeated the inside of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

The Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower had a total of ten floors, and the deeper one went, the more violent the fire energy became. On the very bottom floor, there was even the existence of a "Fire Spirit." Fire Spirits lacked spiritual wisdom and were a highly unstable and violent form of energy. Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to casually enter the bottom floor of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower unless they were extremely confident in their own strength.

However, the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower’s restrictions on disciples were extremely stringent; without three years of qualification, one couldn’t enter even if they had the merit points.

"If you are determined to cultivate inside, I can speak to the Tower Guardian Elder for you," Xue Lingzi said, "to see if he can bend the rules a bit and let you in early to cultivate."

"I happen to have a good relationship with the Tower Guardian Elder, so asking him for this little favor shouldn’t be a problem."

"Then I have to thank Senior Brother Xue Lingzi."

Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up as he clasped his hands in gratitude toward Xue Lingzi.

Unexpectedly, Xue Lingzi had brought him two pieces of good news today, both of which were significantly beneficial to his cultivation and helped him a great deal.

He would surely repay this favor in the future.

Ye Xuan certainly had no objections to this form of assistance. In his view, being able to secure the help of others was also a part of cultivation. One’s cultivation couldn’t always rely solely on one’s own strength—that would greatly limit oneself. One needed to utilize a variety of methods and absorb help from all directions to improve oneself; that was the true way of cultivation.

"Senior Brother Xue Lingzi, Ye Xuan hasn’t even reached the Martial Venerate Realm," Ouyang Tie frowned and said, "Letting him enter the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower seems too risky. The fire energy inside the Tower, if not properly controlled, could backlash against the cultivator. There have been no small number of cases where a cultivator made a mistake while cultivating inside the Tower, succumbed to demon transformation, and ultimately exploded to death. We should probably be more cautious about this matter." Ouyang Tie had cultivated within the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower and knew firsthand how formidable it was. Despite Ye Xuan’s remarkable talent, his cultivation was still too low. Entering the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower now seemed to be a bit too eager for quick success.

There was a reason for the Tower’s strict rules.

Not to mention the requirement to withstand the conditions inside for an entire month, which sounded almost inconceivable.

"As long as he doesn’t go into the bottom two floors, there shouldn’t be any problems," Xue Lingzi said calmly, gazing at Ye Xuan impassively, "Extraordinary individuals should practice in extraordinary ways. Whether you enter the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower for cultivation is ultimately up to your own will, Ye Xuan."

"The Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, I must enter. Please lead the way, Senior Brother Xue Lingzi."

Ye Xuan shook his head, showing not a moment’s hesitation. One does not capture tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s lair. Moreover, with the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire—a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire—within him, even the ten-thousand-year-old Earth Core Fire could not trouble him. The fire energy inside might not merely be a threat but could instead become nourishment for him, potentially aiding in taking his cultivation to the next level.
