Fantasy/Heroic: Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, Earthly Sovereign!

"Okay, stop overthinking. Maybe you're seeing things."

"Don't go out running around anymore, we'll be eating soon."

Jing Yi patted his son's head, not really believing what he was saying.

It's normal for children to make mistakes.

"Father, I'm telling the truth!"

Jing Tian pouted, trying to persuade his father.

But Jingyi didn't believe him at all, thinking that the child had made a mistake.

The second floor of Tangjia Inn.

Yuwen Tuo stayed in a room by himself, which was the best room in the inn.

Although the journey was arduous, he did not neglect his cultivation when he stopped. He absorbed the fire elemental power between heaven and earth, cultivating the divine fire path, and a faint fire elemental aura flowed through his body.

It's much worse than when we were on the mountain.

This is because the spiritual energy in the human world is not as abundant as that in the mountains.

Moreover, there are impurities in it, which need to be removed slowly before one can find the fire element power that is useful to oneself.

However, having more impurities also has its advantages.

Yuwen Tuo is currently studying a new method in the Divine Fire Dao.

It can remove impurities from the fire element of heaven and earth, and only extract its essence.

In this way, after absorbing the power of fire element, there is no need to spend time completely quenching it and removing impurities.

The difference between the two is that one controls the source directly.

Another approach is to spend time removing unnecessary elements after the initial completion.

Yuwen Tuo can also use this method to strengthen his physique and improve his physical condition.

If fighting with others, one can also unleash the power of fire element between heaven and earth to forcibly burn and kill the enemy.

This method is called Divine Fire Burning the Primordial Essence, and it is a rather excellent supernatural power method.

Yuwen Tuo focused on his cultivation.

Meanwhile, in Chang'an, Ning Ke, from the Dugu family, had almost fully recovered after a period of rest.

She still looks like a little child, and she's so cute.

However, their clothing and appearance are no longer the same as before.

She now prefers to wear dark colors.

For example, black or dark blue.

Because she had previously suffered a serious illness, the Dugu family did not allow her to leave the house.

On the bed, Ning Ke exhaled a breath of black gas, which carried an extremely cold and sinister power.

If this power were poured into an enemy during a battle, it would likely freeze their bloodline instantly.

"Alas, cultivation in the mortal realm is truly difficult; extracting even a little demonic energy is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"It's probably going to be tough for this body to return to its peak condition."

Ning Ke felt quite helpless as she observed her cultivation progress.

Her current situation is not yet at the stage of gathering affinity.

Given her talent in the Demon Realm, it's truly remarkable that she only reached this level after cultivating for so long.

The human world is rich in all kinds of spiritual energy, but demonic energy is quite scarce.

If it weren't for her special constitution, which allows her to draw upon the faint demonic energy in the void, she would probably only be able to cultivate the methods available to humans.

"I'm not practicing anymore."

Ning Ke waved her small hand and looked around.

She raised her hand and cast a spell, creating a light barrier that sealed the door shut.

She can sense when someone is coming.

Ning Ke then took out a book and activated her spiritual power.

The book emitted light, and a very capable-looking young woman flew out from it.

"The spirit of the Mountain and Sea Secret Artifacts, Shuxiang, pays respects to Master. What are your orders?"

Ning Ke had already refined this item; she could make it appear and use it as long as she activated her own magic power.

"Scholarly Fragrance, do you know who the Emperor of the Earth is?"

"Master, the current ruler of the land is a member of the Northern Zhou royal family, but the emperor's destiny is too special for me to predict exactly where he is now."

Shuxiang explained earnestly.

Ning Ke didn't look very good.

She was about to say, "What use are you?"

Before she could speak, Shuxiang cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"But Master, I have a secret technique that uses your magic treasure, the Luo Tian Pearl, to devour those of the same bloodline and then chase after the rest of the same bloodline."

"Speak quickly."

"Master, this is a secret technique for finding spirits."

Shuxiang revealed her secret technique.

Ning Ke quickly memorized it and secretly deduced its meaning.

This technique is indeed quite remarkable.

"Very good. So where can we find members of the Northern Zhou royal family?"

"I cannot go out right now."

Ning Ke tilted her head, deep in thought, looking slightly troubled.

"Master, there is one in the manor."

"Who is it?"

Ning Ke's eyes lit up.

"This is the person."

A beam of light emanated from the book's body, revealing the appearance of a young man of sixteen or seventeen.

Their attire and appearance were those of servants in the Dugu family.

"Because of his special status, he was assigned to work as a servant in the Dugu family mansion by the head of the family to satisfy his own desires."

"After all, being able to command the Northern Zhou royal family as servants is, in some ways, no less powerful than the current emperor."

The fragrance of books can reveal the hearts of people and express the thoughts of the Dugu family head.

"I see."

Ning Ke nodded in satisfaction.

Then she instructed her servants to summon the man.

"Princess, what brings you here?"

The man looked at Ning Ke with trepidation.

Everyone in the household could bully him.

Not to mention this princess.

"I'm learning a spell and want to find someone to practice with. I've heard you're quite skilled, so you can be my sparring partner!"

Ning Ke came up with an excuse.

"Princess, I do not know any magic."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know magic, as long as you can take a beating."

Ning Ke gave a cold laugh, then raised her hand and struck out with a palm.

Despite her small stature, her moves were quite impressive.

He unleashed his own power, and in an instant, the servant was sent flying several feet away, coughing up blood.

"How come you're so easily beaten!"

Ning Ke frowned, her face showing displeasure.

"Princess, please forgive me, I..."

Before the man could finish speaking, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

He had never cultivated before, and after joining the Dugu family, he was constantly harassed. How could he withstand such a blow?

"Alright, get lost!"

Ning Ke pretended to be impatient and waved her hand.

The servant breathed a sigh of relief, clutched his chest, and limped out.

After he left, Ning Ke, seeing that no one was around, activated the Luo Tian Pearl.

This treasure emitted a blood-red light, absorbing the blood on the ground.

Ning Ke activated the secret technique given to her by Shuxiang and vaguely sensed something.

It was only sensed from a very distant place, more than a thousand miles away.

"It's him! We've finally found him!"

Because only one member of the Northern Zhou royal family remained outside the capital.

Ning Ke was also aware of this.

That was Prince Yuwen Tuo.

This wasn't exactly a secret; Ning Ke had heard about it from others and thus knew about it.

Her physical strength was weak, but her spiritual and demonic power was not.

A demonic thought followed this secret technique, traversing thousands of miles, seeking to locate Yuwen Tuo and capture him.

Although Yuwen Tuo was cultivating, his spiritual power was highly concentrated.

With the Xuanyuan Sword protecting him, he suddenly felt a chilling aura coming from the void.

Yuwen Tuo opened his eyes and looked over, two beams of golden light shooting from his pupils.

Driven by spiritual power, his gaze transformed into two blazing flames, directly incinerating the demonic thoughts in the void.

It was that divine fire that ignited the primordial energy!
