Chapter 403 Today, our Vajra Temple will slay demons and exorcise evil!
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi nodded slightly: "In that case, you may go."
His gaze fell on Xuan Hui's resolute back, his mind racing.
"This Green Wood Spirit Fire is continuous and inexhaustible, and it is specifically designed to counter spiritual power and the soul."
If I were to force my way in to take the Seven Star Fire Lotus, I would have to exert all my spiritual power to resist it. At that time, the feigned aura of Kudu might be exposed, giving the Flame Lion an opportunity to take advantage.
Sending Xuan Hui ahead would both test the strength of the sea of fire and allow him to act as a scout.
He was at the forefront, physically enduring the challenges and seeking a breakthrough, while I, from behind, used my penetrating vision to record his breakthrough process, essentially gaining a free understanding of the breakthrough.
If he succumbs and perishes, I can then seek his method to retrieve the treasure; if he succeeds by chance, I will gain another late-stage fourth-tier expert to aid me, increasing my chances of success in subsequent explorations.
Xuan Hui was overjoyed when he saw Chen Yi agree.
He suddenly clasped his hands together, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
"Although this Azure Wood Spirit Fire counters my Golden Crystal power, as long as I can withstand the initial burning, I can use the fire to temper the Golden Crystal and remove impurities!"
Immediately, his face turned solemn, and he began to chant mantras.
Within the meridians, the golden crystals spun rapidly, and the immense spiritual power surged along the main meridians to the limbs and bones.
The golden light of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Power within his body condensed like never before, seeping out from his pores and weaving into a layer of dark golden, tough light film on his body surface.
The bones emitted a series of soft cracking sounds, and the skin and flesh instantly hardened like iron.
After making thorough preparations, he slowly stepped towards the place where the wood and fire spiritual light intertwined, a hundred feet ahead.
The moment he stepped onto the edge of the sea of fire, the azure flames seemed to come alive, spreading upwards along his monk's robe. The scorching heat waves from the outside slammed into the golden membrane, producing a crackling sound.
"I need to stabilize my spiritual energy output and use the outer fire energy to adapt to the rate at which the gold crystal is consumed. I cannot be greedy for speed, otherwise it will be difficult to replenish my spiritual energy." He silently recited to himself, shortened his stride, and moved forward with difficulty, taking one step at a time.
Thirty zhang — Twenty zhang — Ten zhang —
As they ventured deeper, the power of the intertwined wood and fire spiritual light grew increasingly terrifying. The color of the green wood spiritual fire changed from light green to dark green, and the surrounding temperature rose several times over.
The spiritual fire licked at his protective golden light, compressing the undying golden light inch by inch, from five feet to three feet, and then from three feet to only one foot.
Xuan Hui's forehead was covered in sweat, his face contorted in pain, and the sweat was immediately evaporated into wisps of white vapor by the high temperature.
"The power of the golden crystal is almost exhausted! We must shorten the path of spiritual energy circulation, abandon the defenses of the extremities, and concentrate all the golden light into the torso and heart meridian!"
He made a decisive move, changing the flow of his cultivation technique. The spiritual energy supply to his arms and legs was cut off, and his monk's robe, now devoid of the golden light's protection, instantly turned to ashes. His skin, exposed to the intense heat, was quickly roasted red-hot and then carbonized.
The protective light membrane was covered with cracks under the continuous burning of the spiritual fire, and then shattered with a roar, turning into countless golden light spots.
Xuan Hui gritted his teeth and forcefully activated the golden crystal in his dantian.
The shattered light fragments reassembled, condensing into a denser new membrane on the body surface.
Each time it approaches its limit, the indestructible essence on the body's surface undergoes a process of breaking down and rebuilding, becoming even stronger.
"It worked! Under extreme pressure, the structure of the Vajra Indestructible True Meaning was shattered and reforged, its density increasing exponentially after the reconstruction. As long as I walk the remaining fifty feet, my Golden Crystal will surely complete its transformation!"
He was resolute and convinced that he had found a way to break through, only by breaking down and rebuilding under the pressure of life and death.
If he succeeds this time, he will surely be able to enter the late stage of the fourth level of body refinement within half a day and achieve the great mastery of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Power!
Behind him, Chen Yi stood still, a golden light flashing in his eyes. He quietly activated his Void Insight Divine Power, sensing the power of heaven and earth and locking onto what lay ahead.
In his eyes, the scene had changed: the Azure Wood Spirit Fire had transformed into countless flowing azure energy particles;
Xuan Hui's body appeared as a semi-transparent meridian diagram, showing the flow speed of spiritual energy within its meridians and the vibration frequency of the golden crystal.
The microscopic structure of the true meaning's fragmented and recombined parts is clearly visible and imprinted in the mind.
He observed and memorized every detail of the improvement in Xuan Hui's divine power, and rapidly deduced it in his mind.
"Xuan Hui abandoned his limbs to protect his heart meridian. This method is too crude and can easily cause spiritual energy to accumulate near the heart meridian. Once it gets out of control, there is a risk of his body exploding."
If the spiritual energy pathways are changed to a mesh structure, distributing the pressure evenly throughout the entire skeleton, the reforging efficiency can be increased by at least three times.
With a thought, Chen Yi's spiritual energy began to arrange itself according to the newly deduced route. Golden grid patterns appeared on the surface of his bones, his meridians were quietly widened, and the speed of spiritual energy flow increased dramatically.
This is different from the fifth-level Vajra Indestructible Divine Power Outline that I learned from Kudu Naga High House Construction.
"The method of arduous cultivation points directly to the construction of the top-level rules. Now, Xuan Hui is breaking through from the bottom up, which perfectly fills in the missing pieces of the puzzle for me. Before, it was just a guiding principle, but this time it is a real understanding that can be put into practice."
Within his body, the golden crystal began to change its form, gradually approaching perfection.
"Xuan Hui can only see one step at a time, while I have already seen the whole picture. Combining the various insights from the fifth-order divine power of the Bitter Crossing, the path I have deduced at this moment has already exceeded the scope of the fourth order." Chen Yi's progress is far more profound than Xuan Hui's.
Ahead, Xuan Hui continued his arduous journey. The indestructible divine light emanating from his body was compressed to an extreme of three inches, two inches, one inch—until finally only a thin, cicada-wing-like dark gold film remained clinging to his skin.
Click!
A crisp sound of something breaking open echoed from within his body. The golden crystal within his dantian suddenly shrank by half in size, but its color transformed into a pure, flawless dark gold!
His Vajra Indestructible Divine Power has broken through to the late stage of the fourth rank and is moving towards an even higher level! The divine powers within Chen Yi's body are also improving in sync.
Sensing the surge in his supernatural powers and the rapid transformation of the golden crystal within his body towards the late stage of the fourth-order body refinement, with a continuous stream of power gushing from his dantian, Xuan Hui's confidence soared.
He let out a low roar and strode forward, no longer caring about the raging Azure Wood Spirit Fire surrounding him. The layer of dark golden film remained as steady as a rock, completely still.
"I've succeeded! I've really broken through! This fire can no longer stop me! Ahead lies the inner Seven-Star Fire Lotus Seed. If I obtain this treasure, I might have a chance to reach the threshold of the fifth-order Body Refinement!"
"Born to persevere through fire, forged into gold! If I survive today, I will surely succeed!"
Xuan Hui charged forward with all his might, and was about to break through the outer sea of fire and touch the inner lotus seeds.
In the distance, the Flame Lion lay hidden behind a rock, staring at Xuan Hui's back with a fierce glint in its eyes.
It glanced at Kudu in the distance and thought, "I can't let him succeed! Otherwise, at most I'll lose a disciple, but I won't be able to harm that monk in the slightest."
The fiery lion suddenly rose to its feet, its body erupting in golden flames. Turning back, it let out a deafening roar at Xuan Hui: "Stop! I discovered this opportunity first; how dare you, a mere junior, lay a finger on it?"
The roar was like thunder, and it also contained the power of a soul attack. It turned into a physical sound wave, penetrated the green wood spirit fire, and crashed straight into Xuan Hui!
Xuan Hui's soul trembled violently, his mind was filled with a buzzing sound, his eardrums ruptured, and blood flowed down his cheeks.
The dark gold film on the body surface collapsed instantly, and the spiritual energy in the meridians suddenly broke down.
The Vajra Indestructible Divine Power was almost interrupted, and the Azure Wood Spirit Fire seized the opportunity to counterattack, igniting his skin.
"Oh no! My soul is injured, my spiritual power is severed—am I going to die here?!" Xuan Hui's face showed horror as he looked back in despair: "Ancestor?!"
Chen Yi coldly stared at the fiery lion. "This beast has been lying in wait for so long, but it finally couldn't hold back anymore. It wants to destroy my Pathfinder Stone? It doesn't deserve it."
His face instantly adopted a stern expression, as if in deep reverence, and he shouted sternly, "You beast! How dare you bully my disciples? Do you really think I'm not here?!"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yi, disguised as a bald little monk, took a step forward, and golden light flashed beneath his feet, shrinking the distance between them!
In an instant, he traversed dozens of feet and appeared in front of Xuan Hui, blocking the oncoming Azure Wood Spirit Fire and the subsequent sound waves.
He raised his right arm, and golden light shone brightly on his hand. He pointed his fingers like a sword and pointed in the air!
Within his dantian, the newly reconstructed high-level Vajra Indestructible Divine Power was operating at full power, with boundless golden light gathering at his fingertips, as if the surrounding air had been instantly sucked away.
Instantly, a ten-zhang-long Vajra Imprisoning Heaven Finger materialized in the sky!
The lines on the fingertips are distinct, composed of countless dense layers of golden Sanskrit characters, condensed and unparalleled, with a terrifying power.
Its inherent level of indestructible true meaning is clearly far beyond what Xuan Hui can achieve.
"Today, my Vajra Temple will slay you, you fiend!"
A giant finger pierced the air, striking the fiery lion!
