Ye Chen was no longer in a hurry to leave this strange space.

After a quick glance around, he saw the area was full of cracks; leaving would be possible at any time.

Yet he dared not leave.

Outside, terrifying forces were raging; he would only consider leaving once these forces had dissipated somewhat.

As for where that old man had gone, Ye Chen had no mind to wonder; it was pointless anyway, as he wasn't yet qualified to concern himself with matters of such powerful beings.

Some time had passed without properly refining the stele on the fourth level of the Sword Tomb, so Ye Chen stayed inside it, continuously refining his own strength with the Sword Qi left by Luo Jiutian.

Meanwhile... resolving the Celestial Demon remnants.

Initially entering the Sword Tomb, dealing with Celestial Demon remnants was challenging, but with the accumulation of cultivation insights, it became exceedingly easy...

When his physical body could no longer bear the continuous tempering of the Sword Qi, Ye Chen paused to delve into the Taiyin Divine Fire Technique given by the old man.

This is an incredibly powerful Fire Control Divine Technique!

Based on the description in the cultivation technique, Ye Chen summarized several key pieces of information.

First, it was specifically an inheritance for heavenly fire seeds.

Second, this inheritance could not only refine heavenly fire seeds but also merge different heavenly fire seeds.

Third, the Red Flame Spirit Flame now rooted in his Dantian could, after being nurtured by the Taiyin Divine Fire Technique, have a portion of its origin separated for Little Phoenix to use.

Upon discussing the merging of heavenly fire seeds with Luo Qingyi and Master Legs, they were utterly shocked!

This ability was too monstrous, as heavenly fire seeds are extremely rare treasures. Obtaining just one was already a great fortune. Even though the Red Flame Spirit Flame Ye Chen currently had was a lesser heavenly fire seed, it was still valuable to Saint Realm—and even beyond it—experts.

The Taiyin Divine Fire Technique's ability to merge heavenly fire seeds meant that the sect to which the old man belonged was once incredibly prosperous. If not for possessing abundant heavenly fire seeds, they couldn't have created such a cultivation technique!

......

The boundless Flame Desert had recently, for the last half month, become synonymous with death!

Originally, a mysterious taboo would appear every hundred years in this place. As long as one stayed away from it, they would be safe.

Yet, half a month ago, a terrifying upheaval tore most of the sky above the Flame Desert apart. Even after so many days, the sky over the Flame Desert remained fractured.

During this time, many, driven by curiosity, attempted to approach, wishing to understand the situation, but those with such intentions almost all succumbed to their curiosity.

Even Shi Fengchun, the Hall Master of Cangzhou True Martial Hall, barely escaped alive after nearing the edge.

Thus, no one dared approach the Flame Desert anymore!

At this moment, in that fractured space, an enormous Buddha phantom shimmered with dazzling golden light. The Battling Monk clutched Buddhist Beads in one hand and a club in the other, resisting the raging chaotic forces.

Even with strength at the Great Saint level, he couldn't delve deeper. A moment later, the Battling Monk had to retreat helplessly.

"Miss, I will surely find the young lord!"

The Battling Monk's expression was grave. He then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and chanted sutras, transforming the scriptures into golden characters that danced and circled around him, while cracks surfaced on his body's exterior.

These injuries were caused by the chaotic forces in the area he recently ventured into; he had been forcibly suppressing them and could no longer hold them at bay.

......

While cultivating in the Sword Tomb, Ye Chen was now enveloped in a layer of red flame, his aura extraordinarily violent!

Finally, after this half month, he used the Taiyin Divine Fire Technique to nurture the Red Flame Spirit Flame to a level where he could control it freely!

In nurturing the Red Flame Spirit Flame, the terrifying flame energy continuously tempered Ye Chen's body.

Additionally, during this half month, Ye Chen refined several steles, using the Sword Qi for body tempering.

As a result, Ye Chen's cultivation significantly improved once more!

From the Third Layer of Transcendence, he leapt across two levels to reach the Fifth Layer of Transcendence.

"Zizi!"

Ye Chen called out.

With little energy, Little Phoenix flew to Ye Chen's side.

"I am now going to peel off the origin of the Red Flame Spirit Flame for you; prepare to absorb it," Ye Chen said.

After peeling it off, Ye Chen's Red Flame Spirit Flame would weaken, but using the Taiyin Divine Fire Technique, he could continue to nurture this heavenly fire seed to grow stronger!

As Ye Chen prepared to separate the Red Flame Spirit Flame's origin, Luo Qingyi and Master Legs approached, full of curiosity.

This method was something they had never heard of!

Little Phoenix lay before Ye Chen, ready to absorb it, and Ye Chen took a deep breath, willing the Red Flame Spirit Flame to float out from his Dantian.

Under Ye Chen's control, the Red Flame Spirit Flame slowly began to split apart.

The feeling was akin to a blade poised over Ye Chen's head, slowly slicing down from his head, tormenting both the soul and the body.

Luckily, Ye Chen's resilient personality, forged through the rigorous Sword Qi body tempering, allowed him to endure. Anyone else might not have held on until the Red Flame Spirit Flame split in two, succumbing instead.

A full half-hour passed.

The Red Flame Spirit Flame finally divided into two.

Ye Chen exhaled heavily, lightly commanded, "Zizi, quickly absorb!"

Little Phoenix opened its mouth, unleashing a devouring force as the separated Red Flame Spirit Flame transformed into a scarlet stream of light, consumed by Little Phoenix.

"Boom!"

Subsequently, Little Phoenix was entirely wrapped in the scarlet flame.

Ye Chen willed the remaining Red Flame Spirit Flame origin back into his Dantian. Before, the origin was a flame the size of a fingertip, radiating intense scarlet light.

Now, it was reduced by two-thirds, and its scarlet light appeared somewhat dim.

However, Ye Chen wasn't concerned.

Spending some time would allow the Red Flame Spirit Flame to grow again, also compensating for Little Phoenix's lack of innate origin, killing two birds with one stone.

"How do you feel?" Luo Qingyi asked with some concern for Ye Chen's condition.

Ye Chen: "I feel like I'm going to split apart."

"Then hurry and meditate, restore yourself!" Luo Qingyi's momentary gentleness vanished instantly, replaced by a stern reprimand!

......

The Battling Monk, stationed at the edge of the Flame Desert, took two days to finally control his injuries. Just as he was about to enter the chaotic forces-ravaged area again, the Battling Monk looked up, his expression turning incredibly shocked.

A figure descended from the sky.

Clad in a long white dress, with white hair and a delicate face tinged with weariness.

It was Ye Chen's mother, Yun Ying!

"Miss!"

The Battling Monk immediately knelt on one knee, saying, "Miss, why are you here..."

"Yun Feiyang, newly appointed by the Yun Family as the world's traveler, has left the Primitive Heaven, they are searching for Chen'Er, so I must come out personally!"

"Miss, I couldn't care for the young lord properly... I..."

"I already know everything. Chen'Er is fine, I can sense it. He's growing stronger inside."

"Miss, what should we do next?" the Battling Monk asked.

Yun Ying glanced at the chaotic forces-ravaged area, her gaze full of endless tenderness, yet her face showed extreme pain.

Her child was so close, yet they couldn't reunite.

A moment later, Yun Ying withdrew her gaze, looked at the Battling Monk, and said, "Take a trace of Chen'Er's Power of Origin away from the Eastern Domain to mislead their sight, and also... kill Yun Feiyang's Guardian!"
