He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

"Could he also be a scion of some aristocratic family?" Once this thought entered the woman's mind, it wouldn't leave her.

To be able to master the Burning Fire technique at such a young age is not only due to a wealthy family background, but also to good fortune. However, even such people need time to mature. Time is the greatest cost in cultivating this technique.

He had never met or heard of Xu Yi before. In her circle, almost everyone who had cultivated the Burning Fire technique knew her. This technique could provide fragments of laws and improve one's understanding of the laws, so most cultivators were willing to consume some things to cultivate this technique.

However, since she cultivates the sword path, she doesn't need these things, so she didn't use her family's resources to do this.

My nephew also learned this spell, although he wasn't very powerful in using it. But as mentioned earlier, its main function is to provide some sources of laws and ideas, nothing more.

"This is going to be tough," the woman in red sighed. In her opinion, this trip to the Blood Lotus was going to be very difficult. The Blood Lotus was quite effective; she had taken it herself. It took ten years for the Blood Lotus to grow, and the secret realm also opened once every ten years.

She had been absorbing the Blood Lotus for a long time, and she felt that it was of great use to her. The Blood Lotus contained not only the blood of the Qi Refining stage, but also the blood of the Foundation Establishment stage.

After a Foundation Establishment cultivator dies, their blood essence will be automatically absorbed by the great array within this secret realm, thus becoming nourishment for the Blood Lotus.

Moreover, most of it is the blood and qi of the Foundation Establishment stage, which will definitely have a great effect on the cultivation of the Qi Refining stage.

"Auntie, what's wrong with this spell?" She clearly recognized the Burning Fire spell, and her father had mentioned it to her before, saying he would collect these flames to help him condense this Burning Fire.

It's still in the collection stage, and not all of them have been collected yet. There are still a few flames that are quite difficult to collect.

"You can't see clearly, it's quite far away, but he's actually a cultivator who has mastered the art of burning fire, so he must be a tough opponent. I wonder what their background is." As the woman in red spoke, she was already on guard.

She was determined to obtain the Blood Lotus. In the past, the secret realm would open once every ten years, and she had only come twice. One of those times was to improve her own cultivation, and the other time was for her nephew. Few other aristocratic families came to get involved in this matter because they had no way to resolve a certain thing within the Blood Lotus.

Absorbing the Blood Lotus can indeed greatly improve one's cultivation level. However, what you absorb is not only the improvement in cultivation level, but also the understanding of the Dao of these deceased Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

At that point, your mind might not be able to hold on; the clash of countless memories would make it difficult for anyone to survive.

Their family has a way to break the Blood Lotus curse, and the spells practiced by other families are not compatible with it, so they cannot properly break the Blood Lotus curse. Therefore, no other family is competing with them for the Blood Lotus. Even if they did come, what could they do? Even if you actually got the Blood Lotus, you wouldn't have the corresponding methods to use it.

Li Wei collected the Blood Lotus solely to complete the sect's assessment. However, it was not enough for her to enter the inner sect with only the Qi Refining stage. She needed a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to support her in order to truly be considered as someone who could enter the inner sect.

Therefore, Li Wei would not consume the Blood Lotus, as she stated when she purchased the information. Unless you possess a method to purify the Snow Lotus curse, do not easily consume this Blood Lotus.

"Oh, Auntie, it's just fire, what's the big deal? I don't believe he can beat a half-step swordsmanship master like you!"

The woman in the ruqun comforted her, saying that in her memory, her aunt was very strong. Her mother often praised her, saying that although her cultivation level was not very high, she could already sweep away her peers. Among the half-step grandmasters her mother knew, her aunt could definitely be ranked in the top three.

The woman in the ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) had always been very fond of her aunt, who always stood in front of her to protect her.

She liked the feeling of being protected.

"Let's hope so. He's the one we should be most careful of on this trip to the secret realm." After saying this, the woman in red fell silent.

The woman in the ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) didn't say anything more. With her aunt around, she felt very safe, and there was Elder Li outside, who was also at the Golden Core stage and served as her protector.

...

After witnessing the burning fire, Xu Yi felt the power contained within it. However, his greatest gain was not just that. He sensed an interesting and strange power within his sea of ​​consciousness, which he could not touch and was also difficult to perceive.

...

After witnessing the burning fire, Xu Yi felt the power contained within it. However, his greatest gain was not just that. He sensed an interesting and strange power within his sea of ​​consciousness, which he could not touch and was also difficult to perceive.

Every time Xu Yi went to seek this power, he felt his divine sense almost floating, as if his entire divine sense was placed on a piece of cotton, a very comfortable feeling.

This must be the law condensed from that wisp of true essence of flame, right?

This was Xu Yi's guess, but as it turned out, it was true. Apart from the power of this law, Xu Yi couldn't think of any other power.

As soon as he got up, Xu Yi felt a dark and foul-smelling power. Since he started cultivating the Burning Fire, Xu Yi found that he had developed a sense of aversion to certain dark powers.

Xu Yi's understanding of the restraint between spells is as follows.

Xu Yi also noticed that the woman in red not far away had also stood up. This woman in red was no ordinary person; the sword intent emanating from her was extremely sharp.

It was hard for Xu Yi not to notice; if it wasn't from the Heavenly Sword Sect, then whose cultivator could it be?

The dark aura was relatively close to him, so Xu Yi sensed it first. The distance to the woman in red was not ordinary, yet she also sensed it, which means that the woman's sword intent was very strong.

Sword intent can sense danger. Xu Yi doesn't cultivate swordsmanship, but he has seen them in the books in the Wanbao Pavilion. He has gained some understanding of the cultivation systems of these sword cultivators. After all, he will definitely encounter all kinds of cultivators in the future. If he doesn't understand their strength in advance, he will really be like a blind man touching an elephant.

This kind of matchup is not advantageous for him.

"Miss Li, please wait here. I'll be right back."

Xu Yi decided to kill this man. The filthy aura made him feel very uncomfortable, and the newcomer was clearly up to no good. He continued to emit his aura, obviously wanting to give him a warning.

It's a real shame, though, Xu Yi wasn't buying it.

Sure enough, just as Xu Yi finished speaking, a black flame flew towards Xu Yi and the others with overwhelming power.

Xu Yi reacted quickly, and a flame also appeared in his hand, with seven colors. This was the Burning Flame, which immediately devoured the black flame as soon as it appeared.

The dark figure also stopped. He seemed somewhat incredulous that his attack had been so easily neutralized without even a sound of explosion.

However, it's understandable, considering the distance between them. He could understand that his spell was neutralized, and he had enough time to prepare.

The formation of the Blood Lotus requires a lot of blood. He has actually been hunting cultivators all along. Since entering the secret realm, he has already hunted down four Foundation Establishment cultivators, including his follower who was at the Qi Refining stage.

It hadn't been long to begin with, and he mostly relied on overwhelming strength to dominate.

He was also at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and he came from the Yin Corpse Sect. The Blood Lotus was of great benefit to these evil cultivators. Moreover, since evil cultivators are inherently chaotic, consuming the Blood Lotus would make their state even more chaotic, which was a great advantage.

Moreover, the Yin Corpse Sect mainly cultivates corpse puppets. Having their corpse puppets consume the Blood Lotus has absolutely no downsides, only benefits. Corpse puppets don't have their own consciousness, so for them, the Blood Lotus is a pure tonic with no harm whatsoever. This is why they are so eager to obtain the Blood Lotus.

Blood Lotus needs nurturing. Although there are three Golden Core stage experts from righteous sects outside, the Yin Corpse Sect also has their own, all lurking in the shadows. Otherwise, these people wouldn't have been able to infiltrate so easily.

He was originally one of the top Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Yin Corpse Sect, and his strength was very powerful. He had already manipulated corpse puppets to kill many Foundation Establishment cultivators. There were also people in the early or middle stages of Foundation Establishment here.

However, he had already slaughtered quite a few people. Accompanying him were other cultivators from the Yin Corpse Sect. The Blood Lotus was extremely effective for the Yin Corpse Sect. They would not fight amongst themselves, but they would unite against external forces.

As for the competition for the Blood Lotus, then it all comes down to each person's own ability.

However, the Yin Corpse Sect does not allow fellow disciples to kill each other.

He could be considered an outer elder of the Yin Corpse Sect, a position that only those with Foundation Establishment cultivation could hold.

Among the outer sect elders, he was considered the fourth elder, with three elders ahead of him. The outer sect's first elder was a genuine Golden Core cultivator.

As the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect, he still needs to maintain a certain level of prestige.

The Fourth Elder flipped his hand, and a banner appeared in his palm, emitting black energy. He was not cultivating a corpse puppet, but a Yin spirit.

Inside, there are also the souls of dozens of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators; these are the true backbone of the Myriad Soul Banner.

With the waving of the Myriad Souls Banner, dozens of wisps of black smoke flew out, each possessing the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. So many Foundation Establishment stage souls—it was truly terrifying.

However, the Fourth Elder had met a tough opponent when he encountered Xu Yi.

Xu Yi specifically cultivated his divine soul, and his incinerating fire was extremely terrifying, especially for the soul. The damage from the incinerating fire could be said to be maximized. Moreover, his soul was parasitizing within the Myriad Soul Banner.

It is the most evil of all evil artifacts, and almost every spell Xu Yi uses can play a significant role in it.

Unfortunately, the four elders were unaware of Xu Yi's background.

He was confident in his profound cultivation, believing he could roam freely in this secret realm, but he still underestimated the heroes of the world.

Li Wei was blown by a gust of cold wind, her robes billowing and her hair disheveled.

They almost lost their footing.

Starting a war here would definitely hurt Li Wei.

Xu Yi cannot even guarantee Li Wei's safety at present.

Before Xu Yi could make any move, Li Wei took out a magic treasure from her storage ring: a golden bell. As Li Wei chanted an incantation, the golden bell, which was originally only the size of a palm, quickly illuminated Li Wei.

"Senior Xu, don't worry about me. This golden bell can withstand one attack from a Golden Core cultivator. He's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so it's not just a matter of being able to move him," Li Wei instructed. This golden bell could indeed do that much; it was a magical treasure given to him by his father.

Xu Yi glanced at Li Wei and calmed down. This was good. He had worried too much. With a father at the Undying Realm, how could he not have a life-saving magic weapon?

With no more worries, Xu Yi unleashed a blazing flame in his palm. The moment the flame appeared, the Fourth Elder regretted his actions.

"What kind of flame is this?" He was extremely shocked because many of his Yin spirits had already been burned to death. He had just manipulated these Yin spirits to hunt down Xu Yi, but unexpectedly, some of the Qi Refining stage Yin spirits were burned to death by this flame before they even got within a hundred meters of Xu Yi.

Those Foundation Establishment stage Yin spirits dared not approach further. The flames made them feel restrained, not just restrained, but also as if they were about to be burned to ashes.

It's as if touching it would cause one's soul to vanish.

Yin spirits are not inherently powerful beings; they also possess their own consciousness. Yin spirits differ from corpse puppets. Corpse puppets can only be manipulated through their master's secret techniques, and correspondingly, they require more resources to sustain them. Only some inner disciples have the privilege of raising corpse puppets, while yin spirits are inferior to corpse puppets.

Although he was an elder of the outer sect, he didn't have many choices before, so it was quite an achievement for him to cultivate his Yin Soul to this level.

However, the Fourth Elder still regretted it somewhat. He hadn't tested Xu Yi and found out that he was a fire cultivator. Fire is yang and strong, which is very effective against Yin spirits like his. It seemed that he would have to expend a lot of Yin spirits to kill this person.

As soon as Xu Yi made his move, the Fourth Elder also tested Xu Yi's cultivation level. He was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, the same level as Xu Yi. It seemed that he would have to call more people. A talisman appeared in his palm. After whispering a few words, the Fourth Elder threw the talisman into the air.

Soon, a special symbol appeared in the sky. Xu Yi didn't recognize it, but it seemed that this person had other helpers. Xu Yi wasn't stupid; this person was obviously asking for help, and it seemed that he was afraid.

Xu Yi transformed into a streak of starlight, passing through layers of Yin spirits, and arrived in front of the Fourth Elder in just an instant.

The sudden turn of events made the Fourth Elder's heart skip a beat.

"What kind of escape technique is this? So fast?"

Xu Yi ignored him and slapped the burning fire in his hand toward the Fourth Elder's face.
