Yuan Zun: Starting with the Eight Ancestral Symbols

Chapter 177 Water and Fire
"This must be the little girl you live with." The moment Old Xuan saw Yaoyao, he was a little surprised. He couldn't see through this incredibly beautiful girl. There was no fluctuation of source energy, but her soul was very strong.

The person who can make him unable to see through should at least be at the same level as him.

"Hehe, it's just a cave, not a room." Muchen explained. He had never been to Yaoyao's boudoir.

Because that little bastard Tuntun was guarding there, if Muchen went in, he would be scolded and slapped in the face for breaking the friendship.

Yaoyao rolled her eyes. Your thoughts are written on your face. You want to sleep in the same room with her.

Old Xuan smiled but said nothing. They were already living under the same roof and were not blood siblings, which was enough to show that their relationship was not ordinary.

But as an old fellow, he is not that gossipy and doesn't ask too many questions.

And the little beast on the ground, he had never seen this kind of source beast before, and it looked very unusual.

In short, Yaoyao and Tuntun both exude a sense of mystery.

"Mr. Xuan, Yaoyao, please come with me. I won't disturb you, okay?" Muchen asked.

"It doesn't matter. There is no treasure there." Old Xuan said indifferently. The Water and Fire Dragon Forging Platform was connected to the mountain, so there was no point in moving it away.

Xuan Lao led the way and soon stopped at a huge river.

In the middle of the river stands a stone pillar that looks like a stone platform. On the mountain walls on both sides of the platform, there are two giant dragons entwined with their open mouths facing the platform.

“This is the Water and Fire Dragon Forging Platform. The master practiced here in the past. When one is in it, his body will be tempered by the two energies of water and fire, and thus improved.” Old Xuan said with nostalgia.

Although this place is located at Shengyuan Peak, it is definitely the most suitable place for the disciples of Hongya Peak who practice external cultivation.

However, the disciples of Hongya Peak definitely cannot come here to practice. After all, without Master Xuan’s guidance, they cannot reach here.

"There are eighteen levels in total. For you, Muchen, it should be no problem starting from level three." Old Xuan estimated.

Muchen's physical strength is far beyond that of other disciples at the same level. Even in Hongya Peak, it is estimated that only the physical strength of the Son of God is slightly stronger than Muchen's, and is on par with the chief disciple.

So Muchen doesn’t need to start from level one. Level one has no effect on Muchen.

His master, Patriarch Cang Xuan, was at level 18 back then, but Muchen can't do that now. If the water and fire energies of level 18 fall on Muchen, they can directly vaporize him.

"Level three, okay."

Muchen happily jumped onto the stone platform and sat down cross-legged there.

Seeing this, Old Xuan nodded, and with a sweep of the broom, the huge stone dragon began to vibrate. One stone dragon spewed out a white torrent carrying a chilling cold air, and another stone dragon spewed out a blazing red torrent, directly drowning Muchen.

Rumble!
The entire stone platform has changed. Half of it is like flowing magma, and the other half is condensed with ice and frost. The high temperature and cold air rush straight to the sky, and can be felt even outside the stone platform.

The extreme cold and heat only made Mu Chen frown. After all, he had been struck by thunder before, and had also experienced the baptism of the death energy of the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman, so his tolerance to pain was still very high.

Half of his body was ice blue and the other half was crimson red. The energies of water and fire invaded his body, constantly tempering his flesh.

Muchen could feel that his physical strength was slowly increasing, and the injuries to his flesh and blood were instantly restored to their original state with the flow of white life force. Then the process was repeated, and the blood in his body was gradually becoming more vigorous.

“Your perseverance is good, and that white breath of life is no worse than Taiyi Qingmuhen.” Old Xuan praised.

The third-level Water and Fire Dragon Forging Platform is not something that ordinary people can bear, but for Muchen, it obviously cannot allow him to reach his limit. Xuan Lao did not plan to continue to upgrade it. He would wait for Muchen to adapt a little and then raise it.

Mu Chen has not obtained the Xuansheng Body yet, so the improvement will be limited. The improvement after the Great Sun Thunder Body is fully developed is not much worse than the Small Xuansheng Body, so there is no need to practice the Small Xuansheng Body anymore. He can wait to practice the Xuansheng Body later.

Yaoyao watched quietly. The path chosen by Muchen would be difficult and would require more effort than others.

Although she didn't want to become that kind of indifferent and heartless god, the gradually awakening power in her body made her realize that one day she would become that strange person.

Muchen...If I forget you in the future, will you let me remember you again...

"Swallow!"

Muchen felt the tremendous energy contained in the water and fire energies, and directly started to devour the ancestral talisman. While tempering his body, his source energy cultivation was also improved.

He now has more than 17,000 source energy stars, and will soon reach 18,000.

"Huh, it's actually absorbing the two energies of water and fire..." Old Xuan suddenly noticed this change and couldn't help but smile.

The two energies of water and fire are not the source energy of heaven and earth. Although they have very strong energy, they are not as gentle as the source energy of heaven and earth and are not easy to refine. If a normal practitioner consumes them directly, his body will be overwhelmed and will be directly burst by the violent water and fire energies.

And this guy Muchen actually absorbed this kind of energy directly. He really has a lot of secrets.

However, Old Xuan didn't care. Everyone has their own secrets. Since the person his master likes, he would naturally trust him.

The violent heat and coldness in the water and fire energies were all devoured and refined by the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, leaving Muchen with extremely pure energy that he could absorb directly.

"Ok?"

Muchen suddenly discovered that the energy he transformed by swallowing the ancestral talisman was easier for his body to absorb. It not only increased the number of source energy stars in his Qi Palace, but also strengthened his physical body.

This really kills two birds with one stone. The Devouring Ancestral Talisman is indeed a magical tool for cultivation.

Realizing this, Muchen directly increased the power and used the Devouring Ancestral Talisman to strengthen the improvement.

“Tsk tsk tsk, it is worthy of being the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, it is indeed overbearing, it can devour everything.”

Little Diao was amazed. Most people who practiced cultivation could not plunder energy in such a domineering way.

Among the eight ancestral talismans, not to mention the enhancement on combat power, in terms of assisting cultivation, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman can definitely be ranked first, and the other ancestral talismans cannot compare to it.

Therefore, if you obtain the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, as long as it is not too useless, your cultivation speed will be greatly enhanced.

If he had devoured the ancestral talisman back then, he would probably have reached the realm of reincarnation.

Half a day later, by devouring the ancestral talisman and refining the water and fire energies, the number of source energy stars in Mu Chen's Qi Palace reached eighteen thousand. It should be noted that he is still in the fourth level of the Taichu Realm.

This astonishing number is such that some disciples at the ninth level of the Taichu Realm are not as good as him.

In these few days, Mu Chen will be able to reach 20,000 source energy stars, and then break through to the fifth level of the Taichu Realm. By then, the number of source energy stars will increase exponentially.
