Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

"The desert is rich in fire elemental energy, making it an excellent training ground for those with fire attributes!"

"However, the fire element here is relatively singular. Unless one possesses fire-attribute battle qi or has some special physique, long-term cultivation here will inevitably taint the battle qi with fire poison, damaging the meridians. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages."

As Xiao Qing walked across the sand dunes as if on flat ground, he exchanged perceptions with Yao Lao in his mind.

"This directly proves that this place can indeed give birth to a strange fire! And its strange fire source must be very powerful!" Yao Lao's approving voice rang out.

"I wonder what kind of strange fire it is, and how far it has grown..."

He didn't have Xiao Qing's "precognitive" memories.

The strange fire that appeared in the Tagor Desert is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, ranked nineteenth on the list of strange fires!

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is born deep within the earth and is forged through countless trials by the earth's lava. Its essence is the same as the fire-attribute energy of this desert, but at a higher level.

Xiao Qing's heart stirred slightly.

Shouldn't it be able to actively guide and sense the location of the strange fire?

He immediately thought of the special sensitivity that the "Burning Technique" had developed to strange fire after being empowered by the "Law of Fire," as well as his own natural affinity for flames.

"Perhaps I could try actively activating the 'Burning Technique,' combining it with my perception of fire-attribute energy to more accurately pinpoint the location of the strange fire?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Qing calmed his mind and felt a sense of joy.

At this moment, he was no longer merely passively sensing, but began to actively activate the "Burning Technique," which was already close to the advanced Xuan-level.

Once the technique was activated, his fighting spirit seemed to be infused with spirituality, and his perception of the surrounding energy of heaven and earth instantly increased several times over.

A moment later, he sensed a faint yet unusually clear and peculiar fluctuation emerging in the southeast direction.

It penetrated the interference of the energy flow between heaven and earth and reached his mind.

"It actually works!"

Xiao Qing was overjoyed.

Although the fluctuation was weak, it pointed in a clear direction, which meant that the strange fire was most likely in that direction and was not far away.

From then on, Xiao Qing began traveling day and night, following that special feeling, and continued for three days in the vast sea of ​​sand.

His journey over the three days was not without its challenges.

Several groups of desert bandits, who were used to living on the edge of a knife, saw him, a young boy, walking alone in the desert.

The key point is that although his clothes were not luxurious or extravagant, his temperament was extraordinary, which naturally made him see Xiao Qing as a fat sheep delivered to his door.

The result is self-evident; Xiao Qing didn't even use any fighting techniques, or rather, he didn't use any fighting spirit.

He merely used the soul power of a peak mortal realm to condense an invisible soul impact, precisely sweeping over these desert bandits who considered human lives worthless.

Under the crushing power of the peak mortal realm soul force, these desert bandits, whose cultivation was at most at the Dou Shi level, did not even have time to utter a scream.

In an instant, their souls were shattered and scattered, and their bodies became nothing more than empty shells on the yellow sand.

After further daily training, his control over his own power became even more perfect, and his battle qi cultivation reached the level of a three-star battle spirit.

On the fourth day at noon, after Xiao Qing crossed a huge sand dune, the scene before him suddenly changed dramatically.

It was a huge sunken basin, quite different from the surrounding sand dunes.

In the center of the basin, instead of the oasis of life one might imagine, lies a desert and Gobi plain with towering boulders and a dull color.

What's even more alarming is that the energy of heaven and earth above the desert and Gobi seems to be unusually violent!

The fiery red and earthy yellow energies were like two giant snakes intertwined and squeezing each other.

It forms visible turbulence and emits a low, suppressed sound.

Even the light seemed dim here.

"The energy here is abnormally chaotic; it couldn't have formed naturally!"

The old doctor's voice rang out with a hint of solemnity as he spoke.

"Probe carefully. Either an extremely powerful fire-attribute magical beast is lurking here, or... a strange fire is about to be born, causing unusual phenomena in the heavens and earth!"

Xiao Qing's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed his soul power, sweeping across the basin.

In an instant, the entire appearance of the basin appeared in his mind.

The peak-level mortal realm's perception meticulously scanned every inch of the basin, every rock.

Its soul perception even penetrates directly through the surface sand and gravel, constantly probing deep into the earth.

Soon, he "saw" a scorching, churning lava lake deep underground.

The crimson lava gradually flowed, radiating an incredibly high temperature.

However, when his soul perception attempted to explore deeper into the lava lake, it encountered an unknown obstacle at some point.

It felt to him like he had hit an invisible wall, and no matter how much he tried to activate his soul power, he couldn't get through it.

"Teacher, there's a world of lava underground. Just as my soul power was about to probe the depths of the lava, there was a place that completely blocked my soul's perception!"

Xiao Qing frowned and asked the old doctor in a deep voice.

The fact that it could form a barrier that could shield his soul's perception in such deep underground magma must be extraordinary!

"Oh? There's actually something that can isolate your soul power at the peak of the mortal realm?"

The old doctor's voice rang out from within the Bone Flame Ring, filled with surprise and curiosity.

His current state is very special; the range and intensity of his soul perception may not be comparable to Xiao Qing's current state.

In this remote Tagor Desert, the mysterious thing that can block Xiao Qing's soul power perception must have an extraordinary origin!

"That place that blocked my soul power perception is very likely the place where the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was nurtured!"

Xiao Qing began to ponder deeply, and became increasingly certain of his guess.

Just then, his soul power sensed a scorching aura suddenly appearing at the edge of the isolated area.

Xiao Qing looked closely and realized that it was actually a huge magical beast!

The monster was four or five zhang long, and its whole body was covered with fiery red scales.

Two ferocious snake heads perched atop their long necks, their four vertical pupils flashing with malevolent light, as they swam merrily around that mysterious place.

This is a fourth-tier magical beast—the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent!

This pure fire-attribute magical beast is born to live in such lava-filled lands, where the underground lava is its best training ground and nest.

Its presence here, along with that mysterious place that isolates the soul's perception, made the answer instantly clear!

"As expected! That place that blocked my soul's perception must be the birthplace of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!"

Xiao Qing's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a hint of excitement rose in his heart.

The strange fire that we have been searching for for so long is finally right in front of us!

"Anything capable of shielding your soul's perception at the peak of the mortal realm must be a rare treasure of heaven and earth. It seems our destination is most likely at the very bottom of this basin!"

The old doctor's voice also carried a hint of understanding and expectation.

"Then let's break through the earth's crust and go down to find out!"

Xiao Qing nodded and said directly.
