Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

The Flaming Mountain is indeed a unique mountain with an extraordinary origin. It is said that it was formed from several fire bricks that fell from the Eight Trigrams Furnace in the Tushita Palace of Laozi.

Those fire bricks are not ordinary bricks. They contain innate fire essence and naturally emit Samadhi True Fire.

In Taoist doctrine, Samadhi True Fire is an often mentioned concept that all practitioners can try to cultivate.

However, there are also differences between the Samadhi True Fires.

Most people who practice Samadhi True Fire use themselves as the cauldron and transform all their essence, energy and spirit into flames to achieve the goal.

However, the Samadhi True Fire mentioned in the Tushita Palace compares heaven, earth and man to the essence, energy and spirit of heaven and earth, and its power is even more powerful.

It was because of this that Red Boy was able to cultivate the astonishingly powerful Samadhi Fire in just two or three hundred years, which even Sun Wukong could hardly resist.

The real Samadhi Fire is so powerful that it is beyond the ability of a Golden Immortal to withstand. It is just like the Samadhi Divine Wind, which makes people tremble with fear.

At this time, Lin Nan came to the Flaming Mountain. He planned to use the special environment here to practice and temper his spirit.

He knew very well that practicing here could not only transform his heart fire into divine fire, but also transform his heart energy into "Southern Red Emperor Dan Ling Zhenlao Sanxi Tianjun". This was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for his practice.

Lin Nan wandered around the Flaming Mountain, carefully observing the situation in the mountain.

The Flame Mountain stretched for 800 miles, with flames rising to the sky and heat waves rolling, like a sea of ​​fire. He hadn't looked at it for long when the land god came to pay his respects. The land god said respectfully: "The land god of the Flame Mountain, I greet the Taoist Master Chechi!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Nan took a closer look and saw that this land god was very different from ordinary land gods.

Although he was an old man, he was dressed in a flowing robe, a crescent-shaped crown on his head, a dragon-headed staff in his hand, and iron Tatar boots on his feet, looking like a Taoist priest.

Lin Nan was not surprised by this because he had already known the origin of this land god.

Five hundred years ago, this land god worked in the Heavenly Palace. When Taishang Laojun used the Eight Trigrams Furnace to refine Sun Wukong in the Tushita Palace, he was guarding the furnace.

However, later on, Sun Wukong broke free from the furnace and overturned the Bagua Furnace with one foot, which led to the current Flaming Mountain.

Because of that incident, he was demoted to the mortal world and became the land god of the Flaming Mountain, doing a "hard job".

After all, the heat waves in the Flame Mountain were so intense that even ordinary immortals and gods could hardly stand it. Not to mention ordinary ghosts and gods, who simply could not stay nearby. Therefore, the Taoist guarding the Flame Mountain here was a kind of helplessness and punishment.

Seeing this, Lin Nan smiled and nodded, and responded politely: "Thank you for your courtesy, fellow Taoist." He did not underestimate this Taoist. The fact that he could watch the furnace for Laojun was enough to prove that his background was extraordinary.

Moreover, the fact that this land god has guarded the Flaming Mountain for five hundred years is enough to show his extraordinary strength.

Taoists all over the world are one family, and they can call each other fellow Taoists when they meet, so Lin Nan will naturally not be shy.

The Huoyan Mountain God asked, "I wonder why the Lord came to Huoyan Mountain?"

Lin Nan looked at the 800-li Flame Mountain and answered frankly, "I want to use the fire essence inside to practice this trip."

The land god nodded upon hearing this, and then introduced the situation of the Flame Mountain to Lin Nan: "The flames of this Flame Mountain stretch for 800 miles, and the further you go in, the thicker the flames become. In the outer areas, iron will turn into water, copper will turn into juice, and precious metals such as gold and silver will hardly survive. And in the central area, it is even more difficult for ordinary Golden Immortals to resist."

When the God of Land said these words, his tone revealed a hint of emotion. He continued, "In the past, the Taoist priest punished me to be the God of Land of the Flaming Mountain. As long as the flames of the Flaming Mountain are not extinguished, I will not be free." As he spoke, the God of Land could not help but shake his head and sighed.

After hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help but ask in confusion: "If we just borrow Princess Iron Fan's palm leaf fan, wouldn't the Flame Mountain be extinguished?"

The land god shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Others may be able to borrow the palm leaf fan, but I cannot, so I have been waiting here for five hundred years."

Lin Nan heard the hidden meaning in the land myth, but he did not respond, just nodded slightly.

Afterwards, he talked with the land god and gained a lot of information.

This land god was extraordinary and could be considered a Taoist master. After talking with him, Lin Nan naturally benefited a lot.

The land god added: "I heard that the Taoist master's Chechi Kingdom is experiencing unprecedented prosperity. I wanted to go there before, but unfortunately I was hindered by the Flaming Mountain and was unable to go." His words once again revealed a hint of regret.

After talking with him for a while, Lin Nan said goodbye and left to practice deep in the Flaming Mountain.

After bidding farewell to the land god, Lin Nan slowly walked towards the interior of the Flame Mountain. After he achieved the Golden Elixir, his body spontaneously developed many magical powers, one of which was the ability to ward off fire.

In modern times, Lin Nan once went into the sun alone to absorb the solar energy, the temperature of which was already quite high.

Therefore, he did not feel any discomfort on the outskirts of the Flaming Mountain.

He continued to move forward, ten miles, twenty miles... When he had gone a hundred miles, he gradually felt a hint of heat.

This is not to say that the temperature here is higher than that in the modern sun, but because of the unique characteristics of the Samadhi True Fire. The pure solar flame can be called "heavenly fire", which has only one flavor. But this Samadhi True Fire is a mixed flame that can burn the essence, spirit, and soul, and can burn the heaven, earth, and people.

"This kind of flame can really stir up the fire in one's heart." Lin Nan muttered to himself.

At the same time, he felt his heart fire stirring, which was aroused by the Samadhi True Fire from the outside world. The restlessness he felt was also due to the stirring of his heart fire to a certain extent.

At that moment, Lin Nan no longer hesitated and continued to move forward resolutely. He advanced another 100 miles, and his restlessness became stronger. His eyes seemed to be emitting fire, which meant that the fire in his heart was burning vigorously and had reached the mind hidden in his eyes.

Lin Nan did not stop and continued to move forward, advancing another fifty miles.

At this point, he had already penetrated two hundred and fifty miles and was less than halfway to the center of the Flaming Mountain.

Similarly, at this point, Lin Nan's body surface began to turn red, as if it would burn at any time.

There were flames in his eyes, indicating that the fire in his heart was rising and had already protruded from his body. The internal and external flames intertwined with each other, and it was extremely hot. Lin Nan felt that he could not go on any further, so he sat cross-legged here and began to concentrate on practicing.

He began to inhale and exhale the essence of the Samadhi Fire around him, and wisps of fire entered through his mouth and nose.

At the same time, what came out of his breath were wisps of anger.

The Samadhi fire from the outside world and Lin Nan's heart fire are undergoing a wonderful fusion.

As time went by, the nature of the heart fire gradually changed.

Not only that, the nature of the mana in Lin Nan's body also had some subtle changes. He gradually felt that the restlessness began to subside, and the heat in his body gradually subsided.

The internal and external heat blended together, causing Lin Nan's body to gradually calm down. It was no longer red, and he no longer felt the heat. His mind was also rapidly growing stronger, and his eyes under his closed eyelids were shining with dazzling light.

The five qi flowed in his chest, with the heart fire burning fiercely, and the other four qi surrounded this heart fire. Lin Nan was immersed in this wonderful state of practice, unaware of everything in the outside world. Until one moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Two rays of divine light suddenly shot out from his eyes, as if they were going to shine through the sky. Then, Lin Nan's chest and abdomen swelled, his mouth and nose moved slightly, and he began to inhale. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the anger around him into his body.

"Hoo!" Wisps of fire turned into streams of fire, pouring into Lin Nan's mouth and nose. His mouth and nose seemed to have turned into a huge exhaust fan, and also like a whirlpool, sucking the surrounding fire into his body continuously.

These fiery energies contained fire essence, all of which were absorbed by Lin Nan. And these fiery energies of the Samadhi True Fire were constantly strengthening Lin Nan's heart fire.

The area surrounding the Flaming Mountain was red, stretching for hundreds of miles, all affected by the fire in the mountain.

The residents here have long been accustomed to this environment. Whenever life becomes difficult, they will prepare various offerings and go to worship the legendary "Iron Fan Fairy". The Iron Fan Fairy holds a banana leaf fan, one fan can put out fire, two fans can create wind, and three fans will bring rain.

Every ten years, the villagers would pray collectively, bringing four pigs and four sheep, colorful cloths, rare seasonal fruits, chickens, geese and fine wine. After bathing devoutly, they would go to the fairy mountain and implore the Iron Fan Fairy to come out of the cave and display his magical powers.

At this moment, it is not yet time to worship the Iron Fan Fairy.

However, in the east, many people were stunned at the same time. They noticed a hint of coolness in the air.

"Why is it suddenly not so hot anymore?" someone asked puzzled.

"Could it be that someone invited the Iron Fan Fairy in advance?" another person speculated.

But someone immediately retorted: "No, it only happens once every ten years. Who would worship in advance when the time has not come yet?"

Someone else continued, "But if no one offers sacrifices, the Iron Fan Fairy won't take action for no reason!"

The people living around the Flaming Mountain were all surprised because they could clearly feel the fire in the air gradually dissipating.

Once the heat subsides, coolness naturally comes, making people feel the long-lost coolness.

"Hey, what's going on?" people were talking about it.

At this time, the land god walked out of the mountain temple. He looked in the direction of the Flaming Mountain, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

"Could it be the work of the Taoist master?" He thought to himself, "Yes, he said before that he wanted to use the Flame Mountain to practice." The land god realized that Lin Nan was absorbing the fire energy in the Flame Mountain, which made the surrounding area cooler.

"This move... is so bold!" The land god couldn't help but sigh.

The Samadhi True Fire is difficult for even ordinary Golden Immortals to endure, let alone absorbing it casually for cultivation?

In ancient times, there was a Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, in which the Samadhi True Fire could even refine golden immortals.

Looking at the past and present, there are only a handful of people who can cultivate and master the Samadhi True Fire.

The most recent one is Princess Iron Fan's son, the Holy Infant King Red Boy. The reason why he was able to cultivate this skill is because he was born with the inspiration of fire spirit.

"Could it be that Lin Nan wants to practice the Samadhi True Fire magical power?" The Land God speculated in his heart, "Even if so, directly absorbing the fire energy is too risky, how can he bear it?" The Land God is knowledgeable and can't help but feel a little confused.

At the same time, about 1,450 miles southwest of the Huoyan Mountain, there is a Cuiyun Mountain with a Banana Cave on it.

Although thousands of miles away, the fire and heat of the Flaming Mountain can still be felt in the Banana Cave.

Inside the cave, Princess Iron Fan was resting with her eyes closed, while a maid was fanning her.

Suddenly, Princess Iron Fan opened her eyes.

"Stop." She ordered softly, and the maids on both sides stopped immediately.

"What's going on?" Princess Iron Fan noticed something was wrong. "Why did I suddenly become less angry and calmer?" She said to herself, "This shouldn't be the case. Could something have happened in the Flaming Mountain?"

Princess Iron Fan stood up and walked out of the Banana Cave, looking far away in the direction of the Flaming Mountain.

I saw that the originally fiery red mountains and rivers were no longer as bright in color as before.

"It looks like something really happened. I'd better go take a look." She thought to herself, then controlled a gust of wind and flew towards the Flaming Mountain.

At this moment, Lin Nan was immersed in cultivation. He unknowingly absorbed countless fire energies, which merged with his heart fire and underwent a wonderful transformation. Thanks to his cultivation experience on the modern sun and his holy fetus of yin and yang, Lin Nan had a strong resistance to fire.

In addition, the mystery of his heart fire has begun to gradually transform towards the direction of "Red Emperor".

This step is to transform your mind into the Red Emperor and control the fire of the world.

At this point, all the fire between heaven and earth will become nourishment to the Red Emperor.

Moreover, the initial birth of the Red Emperor also requires a huge catalyst and does not come out of thin air.

Lin Nan kept breathing in, and the anger around him poured into his mouth.

Gradually, there was no more red light flashing around him, because all the fire energy around him had been inhaled into his mouth and nose, turning into his heart fire and becoming the nourishment for the growth of the Red Emperor.

Lin Nan slowly stood up, his heart was full of fire, and he needed more fire to nourish him before he could become the Red Emperor. He strode forward, naturally shrinking the ground into an inch, and could cover several kilometers with one step. He walked forward, where there was still a red light flashing, because the source of the Flame Mountain was just ahead.

Before he knew it, Lin Nan had walked ten kilometers, thirty kilometers, fifty kilometers, and a hundred kilometers... In front of him, the flames became intense again because he was approaching the core of the Flaming Mountain.

At the core, there were several fire bricks that were continuously emitting flames.

Lin Nan continued to move forward a little, and when he felt the flames becoming more intense, he stopped and began to absorb the fire energy.

"Huh!" He took a deep breath, as if he could absorb all the anger around him into his body.

At the same time, the people living around Huoyan Mountain also felt obvious changes.

"It's really cool! It's cool!" Villagers from hundreds of miles away cheered.

The red fire that filled the sky and earth seemed to disappear without a trace. They were all immersed in this long-lost coolness, as if it were a festive New Year.

However, amid the celebration, the people were also filled with doubts.

"What's going on?" someone asked.

"Could it be that the Iron Fan Fairy has shown mercy?" another person speculated.

But someone immediately retorted: "This time it is much cooler than all the other times the Iron Fan Fairy took action!" The people didn't understand, but the land god in the Flaming Mountain saw it clearly.

"As expected of the contemporary Taoist master, he has almost absorbed all the fire energy in the 800-mile Flaming Mountain!" the God of Land exclaimed in his heart.

He looked towards Lin Nan's location at the core of Flame Mountain, his eyes full of shock.

He never expected that Lin Nan could do this.

"Just by absorbing the surrounding fire energy, the Flaming Mountain can be peaceful for a few years." The land god thought to himself.

He once again looked towards the core of the Flame Mountain: "But I wonder if he can go one step further." In the heart of the Land God, there was a vague guess that even he himself felt was unlikely: "Perhaps, he can extinguish the Flame Mountain with his own strength?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the land god couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that his idea was too outrageous.

After all, as the land god of Huoyan Mountain, he has been guarding here for five hundred years and knows the difficulty of Huoyan Mountain. (End of this chapter)
