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

"alright."

"If you truly care about him, then do as I say; otherwise, it will do him no good whatsoever."

Upon hearing this, Han Teng and Ying Tianming exchanged a glance and nodded.

In the time that followed, Han Teng and Ying Tianming appeared and disappeared without a trace, their whereabouts completely unknown.

Yuwen Tuo asked several times, but Jinxia Zhenren gave him a brief answer, saying that she had something to send them to do.

Three months later.

Yuwen Tuo is training Qiongqi to fly on the cliff.

The longer he spent with the little beast, the smarter and more intelligent it became, no longer the dull and dazed creature it had been before.

In particular, he has become more proficient in the way of thunder and fire.

It can breathe fire from its mouth and shoot lightning from its eyes.

It is already comparable to a powerhouse at the Transcendent Realm.

"Nephew, your master wants to see you."

Ying Tianming walked up from behind, glancing at Yuwen Tuo with some embarrassment.

"Uncle-Master, what have you been busy with lately?"

"I asked my grandmaster, but he wouldn't tell me either. You guys are being so secretive."

Seeing that no one was around, Yuwen Tuo wanted to find out some information.

You'll find out soon enough.

Ying Tianming scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed.

"immediately?"

Yuwen Tuo looked suspicious and led Qiongqi back into the mountains.

He briefly told Qiongqi to play by himself, while he followed Ying Tianming to Jinxia Zhenren's cave.

Han Teng stood to the side and nodded to Yuwen Tuo.

Dan Yuwu was also standing beside her.

Yuwen Tuo gestured to the two of them with his eyes, then bowed to Jinxia Zhenren.

"Grandmaster!"

"You've arrived."

Jinxia Zhenren sends her greetings.

"I wonder what instructions my master has for me?" Yuwen Tuo asked, bowing respectfully.

"You have been cultivating in the mountains for several years, and you have already mastered all kinds of Taoist practices."

"Now that he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, he can be described as having unparalleled talent, a rare find in the world. It is time for him to enter the world, awaken the path of the emperor within him, and save humanity."

Jinxia Zhenren greatly praised Yuwen Tuo and explained the purpose of summoning him here.

Even those who practice spiritual cultivation may not be able to stay in the mountains and endure hardship for an extended period.

They still need to go down the mountain to gain experience and communicate with others in order to temper their Daoist heart.

Although Yuwen Tuo's cultivation level was constantly improving, his destiny as the Earth Emperor meant that he could not achieve mastery by cultivating in one place alone.

It was precisely because Jinxia Zhenren saw this point that she instructed Han Teng and Ying Tianming to make many preparations.

"I see. I had this idea before, but I had not explained it to my master."

Yuwen Tuo was eager to try.

He had indeed intended to do so for some time.

When Jinxia Zhenren brought it up, he thought she wanted him to come down the mountain, and he was overjoyed.

"There is still a test before we descend the mountain."

After speaking, Jinxia Zhenren raised her hand and revealed a treasure map.

The image flew in mid-air, exuding a fierce aura.

It was a treasure array that he had recently instructed Han Teng and Ying Tianming to search for materials and refine.

It is called the Four Symbols and the Yellow Diagram.

"This diagram contains divine fire from heaven, surging mystical veins from the earth, gilded iron from mountains, and the essence of the Crimson Sun Sword. It contains a grand array of the Four Symbols and the Profound Yellow, an extremely fierce array that can create the universe."

"This is used to trap and kill the enemy; anyone who enters it will die if they are not careful."

"If one cannot become an emperor, even if one dies in a painting, one will inevitably suffer greatly in the future, only to end up with nothing."

Master Jinxia explained the origin of the picture in detail and then revealed her intention.

Finally, his gaze fell on Yuwen Tuo, and he said in a deep voice:

"Now that I have told you everything, do you dare to enter this formation?"

"If you dare not, you may cultivate for several more years."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Tuo did not hesitate for a moment.

"Thank you for your consideration, Grandmaster. My cultivation is progressing very smoothly, but I have not witnessed any killing or fighting."

"It is my honor that my master is willing to train me in formations today, how can I refuse?"

Upon hearing Yuwen Tuo's words, Jinxia Zhenren nodded with great satisfaction.

He had already guessed that Yuwentuo would agree. His words just now seemed like a provocation, but in reality, he just wanted Yuwentuo to think things through and understand his true feelings.

"Taku!"

Dan Yuwu exclaimed in surprise.

How could she not worry when Jinxia Zhenren spoke so dangerously?

Han Teng admired Yuwen Tuo even more for his decisive agreement.

Ying Tianming also took a deep breath, wanting to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

"He has his duties; it's innate."

Jinxia Zhenren's simple words silenced Shan Yuwu.

"Don't worry, Mother, I'll be out shortly."

Yuwen Tuo offered a word of comfort.

Dan Yuwu forced a smile, looked up at the array diagram, and sighed softly.

"If you leave the Xuanyuan Sword outside, the formation will be destroyed in an instant if it enters the formation."

Master Jinxia gave an instruction.

The Xuanyuan Sword is the weapon of the Earth Emperor.

If brought into the formation, it may automatically protect its master in extremely dangerous situations.

This actually hindered Yuwen Tuo's cultivation.

"Yes."

Yuwen Tuo agreed and summoned the sword.

This sword gleamed with golden light, its entire body flowing with a golden blade.

The inscriptions seemed to come alive, which was quite mysterious.

Yuwentuo suspended the sword in the air, and then took out the Xuan Yuan Sword, which he had been nurturing in his dantian.

After several months of nurturing, this sword has undergone many changes.

The interplay of wind, fire, and metal elements makes this divine blade even more powerful.

When Jinxia Zhenren saw that Yuwen Tuo was ready, she raised her hand and cast a spell, and the Xuanhuang Array Diagram released a pitch-black portal.

Yuwen Tuo cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, then glanced at Jinxia Zhenren before leaping into the formation.

Ying Tianming sniffed and couldn't help but cry.

Everyone thought he was still a child at heart. Although they knew that Yuwentuo needed to be trained, Jinxia Zhenren had spoken very strongly, and they were worried that something might really happen to Yuwentuo.

"The two of you have a deep bond."

"I am his grandmaster, how could I really take his life? I just want him to undergo some training, and he must not harbor any illusions."

"If the formation is too difficult to break, I will bring it out myself."

Jinxia Zhenren explained.

Dan Yuwu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Han Teng felt relieved.

"Master, although I care about my nephew, this array diagram was refined by you at the cost of more than ten years of your lifespan."

"If the formation is not broken, my nephew's Dao heart will be damaged, and his future cultivation may be problematic."

"If the formation is broken, Master, as the master of this formation, you will naturally lose another ten years of your lifespan. Wouldn't you then...?"

When he got to the sad part, Ying Tianming sniffed hard.

He both wanted Yuwentuo to break the formation and didn't want Yuwentuo to break the formation, so he was truly torn between two options and felt like his heart was being torn apart, which is why he cried so bitterly.

"master."

Dan Yuwu exclaimed in surprise and immediately knelt down.

I never expected my master to make such a sacrifice. How can I ever repay him?

Han Teng's eyes widened in disbelief; he never expected such a twist.

"After cultivating the Tao for a thousand years, life and death are not important."

"The destiny of the Earth's Sovereign was bestowed upon me from my mountain gate. If I can one day save the world, what is my small sacrifice? Besides, I still have several years to live!"

"Don't talk nonsense about such trivial matters!"

Jinxia Zhenren described it lightly.

Dan Yuwu was unusually sad. She looked up at the array diagram, not knowing what to say.
