Swordholder

However, the woman's long dress caught his eye and made him realize something.

It was a long, flowing crimson-gold dress, with exquisite dark gold flame patterns flowing across the hem.

These flame-shaped divine patterns don't seem to be embroidered on; rather, they appear to be real divine fire sealed within them, radiating a terrifyingly scorching power as they flow, and carrying the weight of time.

It seemed to be a divine fire that had burned for countless years, still burning quietly within the long dress.

The golden figure remained silent for more than ten breaths before finally letting out a soft sigh, "You actually possess the creation god seeds of those three? No wonder the Chen family holds you in such high regard."

"Those three?"

"Creation...the seed of a god?"

Chen Yuan was filled with doubt.

Could it be those three vortexes in my dantian?

Black vortex, red vortex, white vortex?

What do these three vortexes represent?

What does it mean to have three seeds of creation?

Chen Yuan respectfully asked, "Senior, who are those three people? And what exactly is this Creation God Seed?"

The golden figure remained silent for two breaths before softly saying, "Guess for yourself."

Chen Yuan: "..."

The golden figure gave a wry smile: "Heh, who are those three beings? They actually left the seeds of creation within you?"

"That brat Chen Qingcang actually asked me to bestow a spirit seed upon you. He's really making me feel ashamed."

"..."

Chen Yuan fell silent.

You only say half of what you mean?

You want me to guess?

In my past life, I was just an ordinary person, not a reincarnated immortal emperor. What do you expect me to guess?!

At this moment, the golden figure turned around, seemingly gazing at the distant sky, and suddenly uttered a few absent-minded murmurs, "I have been trapped in the land abandoned by the gods for too long. To suddenly see the traces left by my old friend is a sign of heaven's mercy."

"Very well, since that's the case, I will pass on my divine seed to you."

Chen Yuan: "..."

A moment later, the golden figure turned around again, looked at Chen Yuan, and then slowly raised its hand.

hum!

The surrounding void trembled, and behind the golden figure, a dazzling divine wheel slowly rose.

hum!

A wave of heat swept over him, and Chen Yuan felt as if he were in a sea of ​​fire. The heat was unbearable, his breathing became labored, and his skin felt a burning pain.

Even their souls seemed to be burning in the flames.

"what……"

Chen Yuan screamed in agony, staggered, and nearly fell to the ground.

But in the next instant, the three vortexes in his dantian suddenly burst forth with strange power, and his spiritual energy flowed rapidly around his body, managing to withstand the scorching wave of fire.

"really……"

The golden figure murmured softly.

The next instant, a piercing screech echoed throughout the void.

In Chen Yuan's vision, behind the golden figure, a huge divine bird fire shadow appeared, standing proudly in the air.

hum!

The eight directions trembled, and the void twisted.

Chen Yuan was greatly shocked. The divine bird Fire Shadow held its head high, its phoenix eyes narrow and sharp.

It has three legs, golden feathers covering the waves of fire, and when it spreads its wings, it can cover a thousand miles of crimson sky. When its wings shake, it can stir up a ten-thousand-foot-high wave of flames!

"This is... the Golden Crow!"

Chen Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At this moment, what lay before him had transformed into a vast wave of fire, its fury so intense it seemed capable of incinerating everything in the world.

Finally, the raging fire and the divine bird fire shadow rapidly contracted and condensed, transforming into a thumb-sized crimson-gold sphere.

hum!

The bead emitted a dazzling golden light and flew straight towards Chen Yuan's brow, instantly disappearing into it.

Chen Yuan's face suddenly turned pale, and a massive amount of profound knowledge suddenly flooded into his mind... all of which were the supreme inheritance carried by this treasure called the [Divine Seed].

The Golden Crow's World-Burning Code

Golden Crow True Yang Divine Flame

"Xihe Controls Fire", "Golden Flames Burn the Wutong Tree", "Golden Crow Melts the Stars", "Blazing Sun Burns Away Evil", "Divine Bird Burns the World"

……

The names of various martial arts techniques flashed by one after another, leaving Chen Yuan feeling dizzy and disoriented.

He grunted and quickly composed himself, ceasing his exploration of the secrets of the inheritance in his mind.

Before long, he noticed that the three vortexes in his dantian had undergone a change!

The surface seemed to be covered with a faint halo of flames.

Just then, a slender, jade-like finger touched Chen Yuan's brow, and a cool sensation came from the fingertip, instantly dispelling the tearing pain in his mind.

"call--"

Chen Yuan gasped for breath, his face pale, and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you for the great kindness of bestowing this seed upon me, senior."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan sensed that something was wrong.

This bestowal of a seed... Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's face darkened.

No need for thanks.

The golden figure was unaware of Chen Yuan's inner thoughts. She turned around and said indifferently, "If you hadn't already obtained the divine seeds of the other three, I wouldn't have bestowed my own divine seed upon you."

She paused, then continued:

"This 'Golden Crow Burning the World Codex' is an ancient and supreme scripture for cultivating the true fire of the sun."

"Your first task is to master and merge the True Yang Flame of Heaven and Earth."

This is the foundation for beginners, and True Yang Flame is also divided into many grades and ranks.

"Mortal Crimson Flame, Spiritual Golden Pattern Flame, Profound Heavenly Flame, Celestial Star Burning Flame, Saintly Xihe Flame, Emperor-level Melting Sky Flame."

At the True God level, it is—the Sacred Flame of the Golden Crow Origin!

At this point, she paused slightly, then continued, "Just like Chen Qingcang of the Chen family, he is the person with the strongest affinity for the true fire of the sun in the past thousand years."

Even so, he had only fused with the Profound-Rank Radiant Heavenly Flame of heaven and earth.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "The Chen family has been refining pills for generations, and their expertise in alchemy is unparalleled in the region. Could it be that this is largely due to the True Yang Flame?"

"good."

The golden figure nodded slightly. "In the 'Golden Crow Burning the World Codex,' 'Xihe Controlling Fire' is the most suitable for alchemy."

In addition, "Golden Flame Burning the Wutong Tree," "Golden Crow Melting the Star," "Blazing Sun Burning the Evil," and "Divine Bird Burning the World" are all techniques of killing and attack.

……

……

Next, the golden figure eloquently revealed many secrets of cultivation, all of which Chen Yuan carefully memorized.

After he finished speaking, the outline of the golden figure became increasingly ethereal and hazy.

"S-senpai..."

Chen Yuan's expression changed, and he wondered to himself, "Could it be that after the other party gives me the divine seed, he will dissipate in both body and spirit?"

"Alright, you may leave now."

The golden figure's voice sounded somewhat weak, and he gently flicked his long sleeves.

The world before Chen Yuan's eyes instantly distorted and blurred. When the scene solidified again, he was already in the Chen family ancestral hall, still holding his palm on the Yuanyang Pearl.

Chen Qingcang looked at him expectantly from the side: "How was it? What grade of spirit seed did you get???"

Chen Yuan looked at Chen Qingcang, first shaking his head slightly, then nodding gently.

"Hmm? What do you mean by shaking your head and nodding like that?"

Chen Qingcang stared wide-eyed and asked.

After a moment's thought, Chen Yuan slowly opened his palm.

With a soft pop, a tiny flame, about the size of a thumb, appeared in the palm of the hand. The flame was crimson and dotted with fine gold patterns.

Chen Qingcang's eyes snapped open as he stared at the cluster of flames, exclaiming in astonishment, "Mortal Rank, Crimson Blaze."

He looked at Chen Yuan suspiciously, muttering to himself, "This shouldn't be. You're a peerless prodigy who has awakened all your spiritual apertures, how could you only have a mortal-level spiritual seed? Back then, I awakened the Profound-level Radiant Heavenly Flame!"

Chen Yuan remained silent for a moment, still reeling from the flood of information. Seeing Chen Qingcang's puzzled expression, he said, "Grandpa, why don't you allow me to cultivate for a while before we see the outcome?"

Chen Qingcang came to his senses, smiled bitterly, and comforted him, "Since the grade of the spirit seed is determined, it is equivalent to fusing with a flame of the corresponding grade. Very well, let's do as you say and cultivate for a while first."

As he spoke, Chen Qingcang patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder.

"Thank you for your trust, sir."

Chen Yuan thanked him respectfully, his gaze fixed on the solemn ancestral hall.

"What are you thanking me for? You are now the young master of my Chen family. Although we are not blood relatives, you will be no different from my own grandson from now on."

Chen Qingcang looked at him and smiled meaningfully.

The two then left the ancestral hall and returned to the courtyard where they had previously drunk tea.

The glutinous rice has wandered off to play somewhere and is no longer in the same spot.

After chatting with Chen Qingcang for a while, Chen Yuan took his leave and returned to his own courtyard to devote himself to studying the "Golden Crow Burning the World Code".

……

Unlike the Chen family's current tranquility, the other major families in Tianqing County, especially the Lu family, one of the five great beast-eating families, were filled with furious roars that echoed throughout the main hall.

"Damn it! That Chen Qingcang dares to bully people like this!"

And that brat Chen Yuan, I'll kill him sooner or later!

Lu Sidao's roar silenced all the high-ranking members of the Lu family in the hall!

Shivering.

Upon hearing the commotion, Lu Zhiyuan, the young master of the Lu family who had just returned from the Qi family, immediately entered the main hall.
