Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 30 The Spiritual Fire of All Beasts
"Isn't it?" Yao Chen asked again in confusion, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"No, it's more than that." Zhongli replied calmly, his tone revealing an unquestionable confidence.

"Not only that!" Yao Chen couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise, while Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with an excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Ever since receiving the enlightenment from Lei Dianzhen's notes, Zhongli's understanding of every strange fire on the strange fire list has become clearer and deeper, like a polished jade.

"Among them, the 22nd-ranked Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fire is formed from the condensation of the souls and bloodlines of Ten Thousand Beasts. This unique composition means that while the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fire is primarily fire, it inevitably contains a rich variety of attributes. Generally speaking, the attributes of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fire are divided into primary and secondary attributes. The primary attribute is undoubtedly fire. However, the secondary attributes are extremely complex and varied. It could be wood, symbolizing vitality and vigor, ice, carrying a biting chill, or thunder, imbued with violent power. In some special cases, even a bizarre combination of ice and thunder is possible. All of this depends primarily on the fighting spirit of the Ten Thousand Beasts Soul that gave birth to the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fire, as well as the strength of the bloodline contained in the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood."

Zhongli slowly stood up and continued, "Precisely because of this, it's virtually impossible for two Myriad Beast Spirit Fires to exist in the entire Dou Qi Continent with identical primary and secondary attributes. After all, exotic fires are inherently rare, and their secondary attributes are so complex and varied."

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..." Yao Chen whispered repeatedly, chewing on Zhongli's profound interpretation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fire, and couldn't help feeling that the road ahead was long and arduous.

"Ah?..." Xiao Yan's voice was filled with a hint of disappointment. "I had clearly reached the eleventh-ranked Bone Spirit Cold Fire, but then slipped to the sixteenth-ranked Fire Cloud Water Flame, and now I've plummeted all the way to the second-to-last-place Myriad Beast Spirit Fire. This life's ups and downs are simply too much!"

Yao Chen's face, which was originally immersed in the ocean of knowledge, suddenly tensed up, and he slapped Xiao Yan on the back of the head with a loud slap.

“(｀Д)!! Ouch!!!”

"Boy, don't underestimate the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire. To be listed on the list of strange fires is already beyond the ordinary. How can you underestimate it just because it ranks low?"

Yao Chen looked up at the sky, lost in memories. "My master's cultivation reached the peak of the Ninth Transformation Dou Zun realm, yet he was on the verge of death before the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. I was extremely lucky to be able to devour this fire. I remember that my consciousness was already blurry, and my soul was beginning to dissipate..."

"Oh? Then how did you survive?" Xiao Yan asked with a wry smile, rubbing the lump on his head.

"Uh... Actually, I'm not sure either. I just remember that when I was about to be refined by the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, a beam of light shone in. When I woke up, I found that I had completely devoured and refined the fire."

"..." Xiao Yan was speechless. "No, buddy, the process of you swallowing the strange fire is too ridiculous. From what you said, you swallowed it after sleeping?"

"Ahem." Yao Chen coughed awkwardly twice, his face flushing. He then smacked Xiao Yan's head hard. "You're so disrespectful! Who are you calling 'brother'? Is that what Master wants to say?! What Master wants to say is, never underestimate the power of strange fires. Even the lowest-ranked Xuanhuang Flame is a treasure that alchemists dream of, let alone the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fire, which is one level higher than the Xuanhuang Flame. And as far as I know, the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fire also has the ability to control magical beasts. In the future, when you are training alone in the wild and need to rest and sleep, just leave a trace of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fire nearby, and it will keep you safe."

"Yes... Disciple understands..." Xiao Yan deliberately dragged out his words, as if expressing a hint of unwilling submission. Yao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered carefully, and then slowly said, "So it seems that the thunder attribute conflicts with the Fire Cloud and Water Flame, and the cold energy refutes the Nine Dragons Thunder Fire. So, this strange fire from the Northern Forest of the Jichuyun Empire is most likely the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire that Guest Zhongli mentioned, with its secondary attributes of ice and thunder."

Zhongli pondered for a moment, then nodded gently: "Based on the information we have so far, only the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire of this nature best meets the requirements."

Zhongli slowly stood up, his eyes sharpening instantly as he released an invisible force, but soon regained his composure. He refilled his cup of tea and spoke slowly, "However, all of this is just our speculation about that strange fire. Only when we get there will we know the truth. Perhaps we're all wrong. Perhaps it's the nineteenth-ranked Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, growing deep beneath the Far North Forest."

"However, Xiao Yan, your top priority right now is to improve your strength. Your master and I both possess Strange Fires. Even if we find a Strange Fire on the map, it will be absorbed by you or your junior sister. As for who will absorb it in the end, it depends on your strength."

Zhongli shrugged nonchalantly, then added seriously, "Your junior sister said she wants a beautiful exotic fire. Don't let your junior sister, even if this exotic fire is suitable for your physique, take a fancy to it and then step under her feet to force you to give it to her. Let me tell you, your master and I will not interfere in such a situation."

Hearing this, Yao Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, Xiao Yan, let me tell you something, even though my Bone Spirit Cold Fire looks eerie and scary, if we only talk about appearance, there are many more beautiful and attractive Strange Fires on the Strange Fire Ranking."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly felt curious about this little junior sister he had never met before, and immediately asked Zhong Li, "Master, what is the current state of my little junior sister's cultivation?"

When Zhongli heard this question, the corners of his mouth instantly turned up, revealing a smile: "She is younger than you, and now she is only a one-star fighter."

"What?! Why would I compete with a one-star Dou Zhe? I'm only at the fourth level of Dou Qi now." Xiao Yan was so shocked that he even spoke in his hometown dialect. The little interest in his heart disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a heavy pressure.

"Don't be discouraged. Do you still remember the secret manual I placed by your bed a few days ago? Take it out and I will teach you how to practice."

"Ah? Master, are you talking about that martial arts book? The master said that I can't practice it yet. I need to wait until I reach the level of a fighter before I can practice it." Xiao Yan lay lazily on the stone, no longer having any thoughts about the strange fire marked on the map.

"No, no, the technique I gave you can be practiced at the Dou Qi stage, and it can also help you quickly break through to the Douzhe realm."

"What?! There's such a miraculous technique?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sat up abruptly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Master, could this be a high-level Heavenly Rank technique?"

Zhongli took another sip of tea and said slowly, "No, no, it's just a low-level yellow-grade technique."
