Terran Guardian - Chapter 4167

Chapter 4142: Natal Spiritual Flame

“Master, your disciple Ji Yang has come to pay his respects!”

Ji Yang stood respectfully outside the Cangyun Immortal Mansion and spoke loudly.

After a long while,

the restrictions on the Cangyun Immortal Mansion opened, and a calm voice emanated from within.

“Enter!”

Hearing this,

Ji Yang stepped inside.

Beneath the ancient Bodhi tree sat a purple-robed Daoist, his aura seemingly in harmony with heaven and earth, yet simultaneously exuding an indescribable pressure, as if the one sitting there was not a cultivator, but a blazing sun.

This scene

caused Ji Yang’s heart to tremble slightly.

“The Great Sun Golden Crow Dharma Body!”

How could he not see that Shen Changqing’s current transformation was clearly related to the Great Sun Golden Crow Dharma Body?

A body resembling the sun!

This was a phenomenon that only appeared after the Great Sun Golden Crow Dharma Body had been cultivated to a certain level.

Ji Yang only needed to think for a moment to understand how Shen Changqing obtained the Great Sun Golden Crow Dharma Body .

Without a doubt

, this divine ability must have been obtained by the other party from the battle of the Emperor’s Fallen Star.

But what needs to be known is…

It’s only been a few thousand years since the battle of the Fallen Emperor Star.

The Great Sun Golden Crow Dharma Body is considered a top-tier divine ability in the Flame Sun Realm. Even Ji Yang himself took a very long time to cultivate it to this level.

Now,

Shen Changqing has cultivated to this level in just a few thousand years, which naturally shocked Ji Yang.

However, he quickly composed himself and respectfully bowed.

“Disciple greets Master!”

“Why do you have time to come today?”

Shen Changqing’s expression was calm. Although he was in seclusion, he wasn’t completely oblivious to the outside world. Now that he learned that Ji Yang was requesting an audience, he didn’t refuse him.

This disciple usually wouldn’t request an audience unless he had something important to discuss.

Hearing this,

Ji Yang’s expression became solemn, and he cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to Master, disciple has come to request a wisp of the power of the Spirit-Connecting Flame!”

“Spirit-Connecting Flame?”

Shen Changqing’s expression changed slightly.

Ji Yang said, “What this disciple is currently cultivating is the Great Sun Glazed Body of the Flaming Sun Realm. This technique emphasizes drawing upon the power of the celestial sun to temper oneself with its true fire; this is one aspect.

Secondly, the cultivator must absorb a wisp of the sun’s true fire, integrate it into themselves, and forge their own natal spirit fire. Then, they must refine all things in the universe into their own body before finally reaching mastery.

Although this disciple has barely managed to forge a wisp of natal spirit fire, it is ultimately too weak.

I heard that Master possesses a Spirit-Connecting Flame, hence I have come to seek a wisp of immortal fire power to strengthen myself!”

“I see!”

Shen Changqing’s expression was clear; he naturally wouldn’t refuse Ji Yang’s purpose.

However,

although he had heard of the Great Sun Glazed Body, he knew very little about it. Only

after hearing Ji Yang explain it personally did he truly understand the power of this technique.

As a legacy of the Flaming Sun Realm, and the fact that even a reincarnated Daoist like Ji Yang could cultivate it, was enough to explain many things.

Then…

Shen Changqing flicked his right finger, and a wisp of the Primordial Spirit Fire’s essence appeared. The temperature of the vast Immortal Mansion suddenly soared, and the space violently distorted, as if it couldn’t withstand such power from the immortal fire.

“This is a wisp of the Primordial Spirit Fire’s essence. Take it.”

“Thank you, Master!”

Ji Yang took a deep breath, his face filled with gratitude.

He had originally only wanted a wisp of ordinary Primordial Spirit Fire to use as nourishment for his natal spirit fire, thus strengthening himself.

But he hadn’t expected that

this person would directly offer a wisp of the Primordial Spirit Fire’s essence.

It must be understood that

the essence is precious.

Every wisp of essence lost weakens the Primordial Spirit Fire.

Like the Primordial Spirit Fire’s essence before him, although it seemed to be only a wisp, if someone obtained it and nurtured it for enough time, there was a chance to give birth to a second complete Primordial Spirit Fire.

This was the importance of the immortal fire’s essence.

Therefore,

every wisp of essence was extremely precious to the immortal fire.

Immediately,

Ji Yang didn’t dare to delay and directly used his physical body to receive the wisp of the Primordial Spirit Fire’s essence, incorporating it into his body.

If it were the complete Spirit-Piercing Flame, his current cultivation level would naturally be insufficient to withstand it.

However,

a wisp of the Spirit-Piercing Flame’s essence is not a major problem.

After all, with a body tempered by the True Fire of the Sun, coupled with his natal spirit fire, suppressing a wisp of the Spirit-Piercing Flame’s essence is not difficult.

“Thank you, Master, for bestowing upon me the essence of the immortal fire. This item is also a token of my appreciation; please accept it!”

Ji Yang took a deep breath, then took out a jade slip and handed it to Shen Changqing.

The latter glanced at the jade slip, his brows furrowing slightly: “What is this?”

“This contains the inheritance of the Great Sun Glazed Body of the Zhou Tian. I observe that Master’s physical body is formidable; I believe this technique should be useful to Master!”

Ji Yang said in a deep voice.

The Great Sun Glazed Body of the Zhou Tian is a top-tier inheritance in the Yan Yang Realm. Since Shen Changqing bestowed upon him a wisp of the Spirit-Piercing Flame’s essence, he naturally couldn’t accept the benefit for nothing, so he exchanged it for an inheritance.

Such a top-tier inheritance is naturally precious.

But in Ji Yang’s view, it was nothing special.

Don’t be fooled by the rarity of such top-tier inheritances; obtaining the inheritance is one thing, successfully cultivating it is quite another.

In a comparison, the inheritance of the Zhou Tian Great Sun Glazed Body might not be much more valuable than a wisp of the Spirit Fire’s origin.

At least—

that’s how Ji Yang saw it.

“Since it’s your kind intention, then I’ll accept it,”

Shen Changqing nodded.

Seeing this

, Ji Yang felt relieved and didn’t linger. After saying goodbye, he departed.

After the other party left, Shen Changqing turned his gaze back to the Zhou Tian Great Sun Glazed Body.

“The Zhou Tian Great Sun Glazed Body… a top-tier inheritance of the Yan Yang Realm. Today, I’ll see just how powerful this inheritance truly is!” It

would be a lie to say Shen Changqing wasn’t curious about the Zhou Tian Great Sun Glazed Body.

However,

he hadn’t yet reached the point of coveting his own disciple’s possessions.

He simply hadn’t expected Ji Yang to offer this inheritance so readily.

Naturally, Shen Changqing wouldn’t feign reluctance to accept

an inheritance offered so readily. Although he already possessed several powerful inheritances for cultivating the physical body, no one would complain about having too many cultivation techniques.

Besides—

as a top-tier inheritance of the Yan Yang Realm,

the Zhou Tian Great Sun Glazed Body, in truth, might even surpass his own Xuanhuang Undying Body.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing naturally took it seriously.

With this in mind…

His divine sense entered the jade slip, and instantly a powerful Daoist aura erupted, directly plunging into his sea of consciousness.

In that instant,

Shen Changqing’s sea of consciousness trembled slightly, and everything about the Zhou Tian Great Sun Glazed Body gradually appeared.

Time passed slowly.

He was fully digesting everything about this cultivation technique.

After an unknown amount of time,

a crisp sound rang out.

Shen Changqing opened his eyes and saw that the inheritance jade slip in his hand was now covered with cracks. With a gentle squeeze of his palm, it turned into dust and scattered.
