Chapter 402: Gigantic Green Clear Vase

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno. This name sounds very imperious, but it should actually be named Art of Fire Control. A pity that it is too difficult to comprehend. I have already comprehended for half a month, but I am only able to barely reach the Entry Stage! I am only able to conjure a wisp of the weakest flames...”

In the Universal Palace, Jiang Yi looked at a lump of small flames speechlessly. The flame was just like a small fire that was on a matchstick. Let alone damaging a martial artist, it wouldn’t even be able to injure a commoner!

Half a month!

Jiang Yi was only able to reach the entry stage for Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno in half a month; how many months or years did he need to reach the phenomenal stage? He had already roughly comprehended this sorcery art, and the main purpose was to absorb the fire elements in heaven and earth. One could then use these fire elements to conjure flames. The deeper one comprehended this sorcery art, the more flames and the more formidable flames one could conjure.

It was rumored that once at the phenomenal stage, one could conjure the Nine-Yang True Flames, which was an extremely horrifying existence that could incinerate a Vajra Realm and Heaven Realm experts. It wasn’t exaggerating for it to be able to incinerate an army of one million soldiers in a single move.

However, this sorcery art... was one that even the Witch God couldn’t cultivate to the phenomenal stage. It had been proven how difficult it was after Jiang Yi had been trying to study this sorcery art for a long time and had just barely made it to the entry stage.

“It seems like it would be better to search for those rare flames and refine them. My Fire Spirit Pearl is able to store flames, which is an innate advantage.”

Jiang Yi thought through in his mind. This sorcery art was impossible to reach the phenomenal stage within a short period of time. He might need years—or even dozens of years—to comprehend it. He didn’t have a lot of time and naturally wouldn’t squander it like this. He should first search for those rare flames and use the sorcery art to refine them, which would allow the flames’ incineration power to increase by multiple folds. This way, he would be able to obtain horrifying attack strength a short period of time.

“Earth Fire!”

There was a small quantity of Earth Fire within the Fire Spirit Pearl, and Jiang Yi had decided to test things with it. However, he hesitated for a moment again. The refinement of the flames had to be done in gradual steps. He had to first refine the most ordinary flames before refining stronger flames. If he immediately used the Earth Fire, wouldn’t he die from the refinement?

“I am going to stake it all! Fire Spirit Pearl, I am relying on you!”

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yi suddenly recalled about the Fire Spirit Pearl and gritted his teeth to make the move. He drew out some Earth Fire from within, his hand illuminated with white light while he supported a lump of Earth Fire in his palm. Soon enough, this Earth Fire quickly vanished from his palm after being wrapped around by the white light and entered his body.

“Haha, I’m fine! This Fire Spirit Pearl is a cardinal artifact for refining flames!”

Jiang Yi felt a wisp of energy from the Fire Spirit Pearl that promptly entered his body, which didn’t let him feel any heat from the flames. With his mind at ease, he began to refine the flames with the steps stated on the sorcery art’s instruction.

The strange thing was...

When the Earth Fire entered his body, it was no longer in a form of flames anymore. It had turned into a fiery red snake, and the size had shrunk by ten thousand folds. Just like a wisp of red essence force.

Jiang Yi controlled the Earth Fire to enter his dantian. In order for the flames to be refined, it had to enter the dantian first; and it was abnormally complicated. The theory was similar to the Exploding Essence Palm, which was to compress the Earth Fire and constantly absorb the fire element to evolve the Earth Fire.

Tsk-Tsk!

A pity that Jiang Yi’s comprehension of this sorcery art wasn’t proficient enough. Once the Earth Fire entered his dantian, it instantly disappeared. Jiang Yi used his inner vision to search for it, but he couldn’t see where the Earth Fire went.

“Wicked!”

Jiang Yi opened his eyes with some doubt and prepared to draw out another lump of Earth Fire. The restriction in the palace hall suddenly illuminated while the Witch God’s void image appeared immediately after. This time, it was translucent as he looked at Jiang Yi with a faint smile and said, “Kid, this old man’s soul energy is about to be exhausted completely. I have checked your progress of the sorcery arts, and it is considered good. Your instincts are very good which isn’t inferior to mine. Cultivate properly and do not refine the celestial stones, or else you will ruin your future! Remember... if possible, do your best to protect my Yun Clan’s descendants.”

“Witch God...”

Despite that fact that he knew the Witch God’s remanent soul wouldn’t be around for a long time, Jiang Yi still felt this indescribable sadness. The Witch God had imparted the sorcery arts to him and was considered his master. This was an absolute expert who didn’t seek fame or profit. Right until this moment, there were plenty of people who didn’t know that he had actually reached the peak of the Heaven Monarch Realm, and his strength stood above everyone.

Back then, he was a Crown Prince of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom and was originally supposed to ascend as the king. A pity that his birth brother seized the throne and even pursued him in his escape, where he narrowly escaped death multiple times. He went in seclusion cultivated for 30 years before taking his revenge by personally killing his brother in front of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s Vajra Realm consecrator and all the experts in the city. Afterward, he drifted away.

The Yun Clan had forsaken him, but he was still very concerned for the Yun Clan. It was obvious because the moment Yun Lu entered the forbidden ground, and he bestowed a token which allowed Yun Lu to reach the top floor effortlessly. Right now, even at the moment before his complete death, he still reminded Jiang Yi to help him take care of the Yun Clan.

“There is no need to be in grief. There is no such thing as a banquet that never ends. I should have been dead more than 2000 years ago. Right now, I had defied my fate and lingered around for such a long time. I am very pleased to find a satisfactory successor to bring my sorcery arts to new heights. The road of the martial dao is a long one, but Jiang Yi, you shouldn’t be afraid of the challenge and climb your way up. If there is one day when you are truly at the pinnacle, please burn three sticks of incense to inform me. You would have helped me fulfill and make up for my regret...”

The Witch God’s voice became weaker and weaker while his void image began to fade away. Once he finished his final word, his figure had completely vanished from this world. Jiang Yi felt an ineffable sorrow and stood there staring blankly. He finally knelt down and gave three loud and respectful kowtows to the Witch God’s skeletal remains.

Roar! Roar!

Concurrently, on the fourth floor of the Universal Palace, an enormous beast burst out from the ice sea and circled around in the sky, constantly roaring towards the sky. Its voice was filled with sorrow and grief. It seemed like the Yazi Beast wanted to use its roar to bid farewell to his old master.

Buzz!

The entire Universal Palace had lit up, and the stone walls of the palace hall—where Jiang Yi was currently in—were dazzling with radiance. Jiang Yi suddenly felt a trace of connection with this palace hall. Previously when he refined the token, he obtained the ability to control the restrictions in the Universal Palace. Right now, after the Witch God’s remanent soul had vanished, this Universal Palace had acknowledged Jiang Yi as its owner.

“Eh? This Universal Palace is actually not a palace but an artifact?” After Jiang Yi had the connection with the Universal Palace, his mind had an unknown rush of information which stunned him.

This Universal Palace was actually a saint artifact. In other words... he could keep and bring this Universal Palace effortlessly as this palace had the ability to shrink and expand as he desired.

“Oh right...”

Jiang Yi suddenly thought of something which shook his soul spirit. This Universal Palace had such a powerful restriction which could easily kill the Yazi Beast which was a peak-grade demon king. If he was to place the Universal Palace within the Summer Rain City—and if the enemies invaded and entered the Universal Palace by mistake, wouldn’t Jiang Yi be able to crush them as he liked?

“That is not correct. It isn’t right!”

Jiang Yi quickly shook his head. Even an idiot could see that the Universal Palace was an artifact. Martial experts always had an alert for dangerous encounters like this; who would be so silly to walk right in? Unless he was able to comprehend the restriction and lay down a high-grade illusionary restriction outside the Summer Rain City. Like the Witch God’s white fog restriction, which made enemies enter it unknowingly.

Could he lay down the restriction?

He was obviously unable to for now. It was impossible to lay down restrictions like the Witch God’s restriction without studying the restrictions for dozens of years. It was absolutely impossible. Hence, this Universal Palace could only be used as a gigantic Green Clear Vase.

“Green Clear Vase? That isn’t bad too! At least during the crucial moments, he could bring along numerous individuals and flee.”

Jiang Yi nodded in silence and withdrew his wild imaginations. The Fire Spirit Pearl suddenly lit up in his hand. A celestial stone appeared and his eyes were fixating on it with a burning passion.

The Witch God’s remanent soul had vanished, and he was going to prepare and refine the celestial stones. During the Witch God’s final moment, he might have informed Jiang Yi not to refine the celestial stones and ruin his future. However, Jiang Yi wasn’t going to change his mind.

His future might be important, but he cared about Su Ruoxue more. She wasn’t willing to abandon the Great Xia Kingdom, and so he was destined to fight the martial experts of the continent.

Once three years were due, the Demon Empress would leave while Shui Youlan and the others had promised that they wouldn’t continue helping him. When that time comes, he could only rely on himself. He had to constantly increase his strength during this short period of time—in order for him to survive.
