Chapter 399, Rumors
The Tomb of Zhurong was formed from a fragment of the heart of the Ancestral Witch Zhurong, which was obtained by the first Vermilion Bird Emperor of the Four Spirit Realms during his travels through the primordial universe.

The Tomb of Zhurong is divided into three regions.

The outermost layer is the path of Zhurong—the foundational path of 'fire is me, and I am fire'.

In the omnipresent source of fire, the body and will are tempered to the extreme, going through three stages: 'drawing fire into the body → merging with fire → transforming into fire'. Each stage is an ultimate test of will.

At the same time, I began to grasp the laws of fire.

The second layer, the spine of Zhurong—based on the physical body, it opens up the great path of heaven and earth.

Blood Jade Bone Mountain, with the physical body as its foundation, opens up a path through blood and qi, creating a great path that can bear the laws of heaven and earth, illuminating the meridian nodes, making the meridians unobstructed, and freely receiving the power and laws of heaven and earth.

During this period, the cultivator gained a deeper understanding of the Law of Fire and began to comprehend it.

The innermost layer, the heart of Zhurong—proving the Way with strength, its light endures forever.

The chaotic space of the chicken egg is the ultimate fusion of the laws of fire and power. Those who master this fusion can manifest the laws of fire, unleash the power of fire in heaven and earth, and even create the world.

During this stage, the focus is on manipulating the laws of fire for one's own use.

Hua Changxi carefully read through the new information about Zhu Rong's Tomb in his mind, his gaze falling on the shimmering fire axe floating in his palm.

This fire axe was not formed from the laws of fire, but rather flew out from the depths of chaos when she broke through the chaotic space of the chicken egg.

The fire axe flickered, and the flames surrounding it changed constantly, sometimes red, sometimes purple, and sometimes other colors.

After Hua Changxi refined the Fire Axe, all the information about Zhu Rong's Tomb flooded into her mind.

Zhu Rong Tomb is not only a place for strengthening the physical body, but also the ultimate testing ground for proving the Dao through strength. Through the cultivation of "using the physical body to bear the heaven and earth and using the fire nature to illuminate the true heart", the physical body is tempered into a furnace that can bear the fire laws of heaven and earth.

Using fire as fuel and force as the measure, through the progressive trials of three fire domains, cultivators temper their bones and muscles, broaden their meridians, and bear the laws in the collision between their physical bodies and flames, continuously strengthening their physical bodies.

Inside Zhu Rong's tomb, Hua Changxi was quite satisfied with what he had gained.

She not only mastered the seventh chapter of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, but also cultivated the 'Law of Heaven and Earth' supernatural power, which greatly enhanced her strength.

Although it took ten years, she felt it was worth it.

The only thing that displeased her was that the black flames on the Nascent Soul's heart had grown larger.

Hua Changxi put away the fire axe. After the fire axe disappeared into her brow, she flipped her right wrist, and a lotus lantern composed of four white jade lotus petals and four black jade lotus petals appeared in her palm.

This is what Chu Junshan fell into the Chicken Egg Space after his death.

After becoming the mistress of Zhu Rong's Tomb, she quickly sensed the presence of the lotus lantern.

Unlike when Zhu Yan held it, this lotus lantern is now extinguished.

Hua Changxi tried to summon the black flames from her nascent soul to light the lotus lamp, but unfortunately, she was unable to do so.

She discovered that the black flames seemed to be something she could only passively accept as they were affected by external forces (growing larger), and it was extremely difficult for her to actively control them.

When she poured all her consciousness into the black flame, she could at most make it sway. Controlling its size or splitting it into a wisp was virtually impossible.

Thinking of the current situation of the Vermilion Bird Army, Hua Changxi was in a hurry to deal with it. After putting away the eight-petaled black and white lotus lantern, she flashed to the entrance of Zhu Rong Tomb and began to set up the teleportation array.

Zhu Rong Tomb is an excellent place for body tempering. It is a field where one can "temper the body with fire and break through barriers with strength". The test on the physical body is greater than that of the Nine Heavens Fire Spring. It is suitable for cultivators in the middle stage of body tempering to come and cultivate.

The Nine Heavens Fire Spring is relatively mild, and cultivators in the early stages of body refinement can cultivate inside it.

Because of her increased strength, Hua Changxi was able to set up teleportation arrays much faster. What used to take more than half a month to set up now only took five days.

Once the teleportation array was set up, Hua Changxi left Zhu Rong's Tomb.

During her previous battle with Chu Junshan, the barrier around Zhu Rong's Tomb became visible. After becoming the master of Zhu Rong's Tomb, she made the barrier disappear again.

Although the location of Zhu Rong's Tomb was exposed, the barrier was closed, preventing outsiders from entering or leaving, so Hua Changxi returned to Lingguang Palace with peace of mind.

Compared to the anxiety and unease of the past few months, Lingguang Hall now has the same fighting spirit and confidence it had at the beginning of its establishment.

On the mountain gate plaza, countless Vermilion Bird soldiers were gleefully dealing with the mountain of corpses belonging to the Phoenix Clan and other demon races. Hua Changxi saw this but did not disturb them. After returning to the main hall, she summoned the "Vermilion Bird Army Roster" and quickly began to browse through it.

Ten years have passed, and the number of Suzaku soldiers has not increased, but has actually decreased.

More than 3,000 names have disappeared, and the names of nearly 10,000 are fading away.

This shows that during her ten years at Zhu Rong's Tomb, the Vermilion Bird Army had a very difficult time, to the point that when cultivators from all sides gathered in Nanxiang County, no one was willing to join the Vermilion Bird Army.

After looking at the "List of Names of the Vermilion Bird Army", Hua Changxi fell silent.

The most urgent task now is to treat the tens of thousands of wounded Vermilion Bird soldiers.

This requires a large amount of elixirs, pills, and doctors.

Although she possesses the Dan Yuan Secret Realm, Dan Yuan Peak is Dan Yuan Peak, and Ling Guang Palace is Ling Guang Palace. She cannot directly utilize the resources of Dan Yuan Peak to aid Ling Guang Palace.

After thinking for a while, Hua Changxi took out a teleportation device and sent a message to Yun You, the head of the logistics department: "Go to the Minister of the Heavenly Department for help. Tell him that the Vermilion Bird Army needs healing pills and doctors. Ask him to help contact the Medical Department."

Upon receiving Hua Changxi's message, Yun You's expression immediately brightened. She quickly reported on the situation of the Vermilion Bird Army, mainly that the logistics department was in dire need of various supplies, with the Vermilion Bird Tokens, which could save lives, being the most pressing.

Upon seeing Yun You's message, Hua Changxi immediately teleported to Li Huo Cliff.

Ten years have passed, and the 100,000 Vermilion Bird Tokens have long been completed.

Furthermore, because Li Huo Cliff only had Nanming Stone and no other refining materials, the refiners who had no other weapons to refine ended up refining tens of thousands more.

"Hall Master!"

Hua Changxi hadn't set foot on Li Huo Cliff for ten years, leaving everyone there in a state of anxiety, thinking she had forgotten about them. When she reappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was delayed by something. Don't worry, even if I don't come in the future, I will arrange for someone else to come and deliver cultivation resources to you."

After calming down the people at Li Huo Cliff, Hua Changxi took 100,000 Vermilion Bird Tokens and flew down from Li Huo Cliff, venturing into the sea of ​​fire to begin branding the Vermilion Bird Tokens with Vermilion Bird Seals.

Even with Hua Changxi's increased strength, it took a full month to imprint all 100,000 Vermilion Bird Tokens.

Hua Changxi placed 100,000 Vermilion Bird Tokens in the logistics department and, without a moment's rest, went to set up the teleportation array leading to Zhu Rong's Tomb.

She really didn't have enough time. The matter of the Wutong Forest hadn't been resolved yet, and the Ghost Fire Well also needed further investigation.
"Om~"

A single thought can cause a tremor.

Hua Changxi picked it up and saw that it was a message from Yun You.

Yun You: "Palace Master, the Minister of the Heavenly Department is willing to help, but he wants to see you."

Hua Changxi: "Tell the Minister of the Heavenly Department that I am in seclusion."

Yun You: "Palace Master, purchasing pills requires spirit stones."

Hua Changxi looked at it, and everything went black before his eyes.

The Vermilion Bird Army really has nothing!

Seeing that Hua Changxi hadn't replied to her message for a long time, Yun You thought for a moment and sent a message: "Palace Master, there is a fire spirit ore in the Wutong Forest."

Upon seeing the message, Hua Changxi perked up: "Let's get the medical department to pay on credit first. Saving lives is the priority. We'll make up the difference with spirit stones later."

After reading it, Yun You remained silent for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then sent another message: "Palace Master, the outside world is currently trying to find out your identity."

Hua Changxi: "Let them investigate, just ignore them."

Yun You: "But recently a rumor has suddenly spread that you, Palace Master, are a female cultivator named Hua Changxi."

Hua Changxi: "."
