Chapter 351 Colorful Beast Spirit Fire!

“Senior Ling Huang, do you want to become a Venerable?”

After putting away the Jade Slip, Li Xuanfeng moved and appeared beside Ling Huang, naturally reaching out to embrace her soft, slender waist.

“Now… now?”

Ling Huang’s cheeks flushed slightly.

The Bottleneck between the Peak of the Imperial Realm and the Venerable Realm was not so easy to Breakthrough; even with her talent, if she Cultivated normally, it would probably take decades or even a hundred years, and it wouldn't be rare to be stuck for two hundred years if her luck was bad.

Cultivating the improved Yin and Yang Profound Refinement Art could shorten this process, but Ling Huang felt it would still be difficult without one or two decades, and success wasn't even guaranteed.

In nine months, she had experienced a new kind of Cultivation pleasure, a wonderful feeling that was hard to describe. She couldn't imagine what she would be like if she were to engage in it for one or two decades straight.

“Start what?”

Li Xuanfeng feigned a look of confusion.

“Aren’t we Cultivating the Yin and Yang Profound Refinement Art?”

Ling Huang was slightly taken aback.

Li Xuanfeng’s actions, expression, and tone of voice all made her instinctively think he was going to help her Breakthrough through Dual Cultivation.

“You're still thinking about that, aren't you?”

Li Xuanfeng looked at her with a half-smile.

Ling Huang’s cheeks flushed even redder, and she couldn't help but glare at Li Xuanfeng. She realized that Li Xuanfeng was deliberately making her misunderstand; he was not serious at all, and she wondered who he learned it from.

“Even if the Yin and Yang Profound Refinement Art has been improved, helping you Breakthrough this way would take at least ten, or even twenty years. My Physique is strong enough to withstand it, but Senior Ling Huang might not be.”

“The better and faster way to Breakthrough to Venerable is, of course, to refine the Innate Spiritual Fire!”

As Li Xuanfeng spoke, he gestured, and the Seven-Colored Beast Spiritual Fire next to them, controlled by an invisible force, reluctantly flew over.

“Li Lang… are you really going to give it to me?”

Ling Huang gazed at Li Xuanfeng, the tenderness in her eyes seemingly capable of melting even the hardest things.

“This Spiritual Fire is indeed powerful, but my strength is increasing too quickly; it can no longer provide significant help to me. Giving it to you for refinement is the most suitable option.”

Li Xuanfeng said.

After he finished speaking, the flames of the Seven-Colored Beast Spiritual Fire suddenly flickered, as if it was indignant at being looked down upon by Li Xuanfeng.

Li Xuanfeng clenched his palm, and an invisible force suppressed the flames, making it settle down.

Innate Spiritual Fires are all born in special environments after long years, containing extremely vast power. Even a wisp of flame stripped from them can burn a King Realm Cultivator to death.

A complete one can even threaten the life of a Venerable.

Although the Seven-Colored Beast Spiritual Fire was trapped by the Battle Blood Asura and had much of its power drained, its Foundation was not harmed, and it still retained an extremely vast amount of energy. If refined, it could completely allow Ling Huang to Breakthrough to the Venerable Realm.

However, for Li Xuanfeng, whose Realm had reached the Late Stage of Venerable and whose strength was comparable to a Half-Saint, it would not be of much help.

The key was that giving it to Ling Huang would maximize the benefits of this treasure.

Firstly, the System would return a stronger Spiritual Fire to him; secondly, after Ling Huang refined the Beast Spiritual Fire, her strength would skyrocket, and Li Xuanfeng would receive a Cultivation return.

No matter how he calculated it, giving it to Ling Huang was the most cost-effective, and Ling Huang was also the most suitable among his bound Daughters of Destiny to refine this Spiritual Fire.

With the strength of the other Daughters of Destiny, they wouldn't be able to refine it at all; they would be directly burned to ashes.

Furthermore, Ling Huang and Li Xuanfeng had already consummated their marriage; she was his woman, and Li Xuanfeng would not be stingy with his own woman.

“Li Lang, I… I’ll serve you!”

Ling Huang looked at Li Xuanfeng with eyes full of tenderness. Although they had done the most intimate things, saying such words still made her feel a bit shy.

She certainly desired the Seven-Colored Beast Spiritual Fire, a treasure of heaven and earth. She had given her body and mind to Li Xuanfeng; they knew each other inside and out, already in the most intimate relationship, so there was no need for politeness in many matters.

But Ling Huang felt she couldn't take it for free; she had to give something in return. Unfortunately, all the treasures on her combined were not even one-tenth as precious as the Seven-Colored Beast Spiritual Fire.

The only way she could express herself was to serve him well using the techniques Li Xuanfeng had taught her over the past few months.

“There will be plenty of time for such things later. You first try to refine it!”

Li Xuanfeng caressed her fair and tender cheek, then lightly pecked her forehead before saying with a smile.

“Mm.”

Ling Huang nodded slightly, then actively offered a fragrant kiss, separating after a moment.

Then, without further delay, she directly sat cross-legged in the air.

Spiritual Fires are divided into Acquired Spiritual Fires and Innate Spiritual Fires.

Acquired Spiritual Fires are those where Cultivators condense their own fire seeds and plant them in their Dantian or Sea of Consciousness, constantly nurturing them with their own power. As their strength and Realm improve, the Spiritual Fire also grows stronger. When needed, it can be activated for combat, Alchemy, or Artifact Refining.

Innate Spiritual Fires, on the other hand, are flames born in peculiar places between heaven and earth, constantly absorbing the power of heaven and earth, taking countless years to come into being. This process often takes tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years!

Therefore, the energy they contain is often extremely terrifying.

For example, in some places where thunder constantly gathers, a flame containing the power of thunder might be born. This flame, through hundreds of thousands or millions of years of continuously absorbing thunder power, will eventually grow into the world-destroying Nine Heavens Thunder Spiritual Fire.

Another example is deep within underground lava, where, through continuous refinement by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, a Molten Earth Spiritual Fire might occasionally be born.

This world is vast beyond measure, and Innate Spiritual Fires exist in all sorts of forms, some strong, some weak.

The weaker ones are generally those that haven't existed for long and pose no threat to most Cultivators, while even Saints who have undergone the Heavenly Dao's baptism dare not easily touch the stronger ones.

Among the many Innate Spiritual Fires, ten are the most powerful.

The Seven-Colored Beast Spiritual Fire is ranked tenth on the Innate Spiritual Fire list.

The birth of the Seven-Colored Beast Spiritual Fire is different from most Innate Spiritual Fires. It was originally a Yao Beast's companion flame. After its master's demise, it survived and developed some sentience.

This sentience prompted it to act on instinct, seeking out and devouring flames. After tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, two hundred thousand, and three hundred thousand years, it would grow into its complete form, appearing in seven colors, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

A Seven-Colored Beast Spiritual Fire in its complete form would be enough to threaten a Half-Saint. With Ling Huang's strength, let alone refining it, even touching it would result in death or severe injury.

However, the Seven-Colored Beast Spiritual Fire before them had been trapped in the central palace for too long. During the first great battle between the Battle Blood Asura and the Gray Flood Dragon, it was severely depleted. Although it later recovered a significant amount on its own, it was then trapped by the Battle Blood Asura using an altar, and some of its power was extracted, greatly reducing its threat level.

Nevertheless, even in this state, it could still easily threaten Ling Huang’s life.

Therefore, Li Xuanfeng only let her try to refine it first; whether she could withstand that power was still unknown.
