C4 The All Things Melting Flame Cauldron

The Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower was subdivided into nine layers, and each layer had a distinct function. The First Layer was the area for refining the origin fluid.

The reputed origin fluid was regarded as the Spirit Liquid of all origins. All existing things that had spirituality could be refined into the origin fluid through the All Creatures Fire Cauldron.

The origin fluids also had various levels which were further divided into different volumes, depending on their quantity. The more one consumed, the more strength one could develop by ingesting the origin fluid.

It could be said that if one was at the stage where there was no impediment but merely a phase where the accumulated energy would pass through within one's body, then the origin fluid's strength refined through the All Creatures Fire Cauldron would rapidly soar.

Apart from the All Creatures Fire Cauldron, one would also have to cultivate the Exotic Flame first to refine the origin fluid.

However, the mortal fires cultivated by regular cultivators didn't have adequate power. So for them to produce a solid and unassailable Exotic Flame, they had to manipulate all kinds of extraordinary techniques.

However, there was a series of magic spells hidden inside the All Creatures Fire Cauldron. As long as one had adequate fire elemental heaven and earth Spirit Creatures, one could readily cultivate powerful Exotic Flames through these spells.

The Exotic Flames that could be cultivated all differed considerably, and the things that could be refined varied as well.

However, it would be improbable to refine some powerful spiritual objects if the grade of the Exotic Flame wasn't high enough.

In addition to improving one's strength, the origin fluid also had another function. Its energy had the ability to open the second, third, and even the seventh level of the Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower.

Even after opening these levels, one would still need the origin fluid to increase the activity rate within a particular level.

For example, the data stored in his subconscious revealed that the second level was a Spirit Spring. Immersing one's body in it could enhance one's talent. But the newly-opened second level had limited qualifications. Han Feng reckoned that it was unlikely for someone to advance from the Lower-class Aptitude to the Medium-class Aptitude.

To stimulate one's potential to a higher level, the first step was to upgrade the Spirit Spring. As long as there were enough origin fluids, the Spirit Spring's highest grade in the future could effectively transform an ordinary person into a heaven-defying existence.

However, the energy required to carry out such an action was too great. There was no way one could search the entire Desolate Continent.

Han Feng wasn't too inclined about this as his present level was too low. The Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower had absorbed all of his internal energy, and he wasn't even a Mortal-rank Martial Cultivator. However, he wanted to reach the Spirit Spring's highest level, which was far beyond his reach now. He lacked the confidence to reach it in this lifetime.

Han Feng's primary goal at this point was to break through to the Human Rank.

In no time, he stepped forward and reached out his hand to touch the All Creatures Fire Cauldron.

The cauldron's body was bronze-colored, and it exuded a primordial aura.

The All Creatures Fire Cauldron, which was born within the greatest treasure of the Great Path, had been around for generations.

The moment Han Feng laid a finger on the cauldron, a substantial amount of knowledge rushed into his mind.

Although this knowledge's magnitude wasn't as much as what he had previously encountered, it was still quite a lot for him to absorb.

Han Feng gritted his teeth and kept going as he endured the deluge of information. He anxiously bit his lips until it bled. Despite the blood dripping down his mouth, he didn't care much about it.

Blue veins popped out on his forehead, and beads of sweat trickled down his brows.

His clothes that had already dried up earlier were once again drenched with sweat.

If it was the former Han Feng who was absorbing so much knowledge, he might already have fainted to the ground. But after experiencing the same data overload, his willpower and mental strength had slightly gone up by a notch. Even though it was hard, it wasn't to the point where he would pass out.

After about seven minutes, Han Feng finally regained his strength.

"This is interesting. The Nine Flames And Strange Fire Art is the method for cultivating powerful spells requiring the Exotic Flame."

"Let's see. So the Nine Flames And Strange Fire Art has ten levels, and its first level is the foundation. It can be used to cultivate mortal fires, and using the natural Spirit Creatures' fire element won't be necessary for it to succeed."

"So that's how it works. One will only be considered to have crossed the threshold of the Exotic Flame after successfully cultivating the second level."

"The Blue Luan Jade Fire is on the next level, the third level is the Blue Tide Profound Flame."

"Woah! The Blue Luan Jade Fire's power is too strong since it can actually burn Vital Spirits! Does this mean that even with the direct attack of the enemy's Vital Spirit, it can still refine and restore itself?"

"No, I don't think it could be this easy and unconventional. There must be restrictions. Unfortunately, I won't really know until I get to the second level."

"Moreover, only Mystic Rank warriors are able to produce Vital Spirits. It's too far-reaching and obscure for me to reach at this point."

Han Feng tried toning down his excitement. Although he was bent on cultivating immediately, he knew the timing wasn't right yet.

He went on to search his brain to get more useful insights from his newly acquired knowledge.

"Skyfire Seal? Skyfire Battle Body? Skyfire Battle Fist? Sky Fire Armor?"

"These are all astounding Martial Skills! It's just a shame that all of these necessitates one to break through to the Human Rank first before they could be cultivated!"

"It's such a pity!"

Han Feng shook his head and decided to briefly set aside his plans to cultivate these Martial Skills .

Meantime, Ye Han shrugged off the thought that crossed mind and went back to his room.

With Han Feng now alone, there was suddenly a sour odor in the air.

"It stinks so bad! Where's that stench coming from? Pfft! Is that my own body odor? It must have come from my excessive sweating that soaked through my clothing when I endured those memories. Woah! It smells nasty. Was I sweating out that much?"

Han Feng rose immediately and fetched some water to wash himself although it was already late into the night.

Since Han Feng was a young master, several maids and servants should have been entrusted to him. However, as he still hadn't cultivated his Internal Strength because of the Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower, he was treated like a worthless person with a bleak future. So the Han family didn't provide him any servants. The best they could come up with was to treat him with enough decency.

After washing the pungent odor off his entire body, Han Feng went back to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"Now that the Nine Flames Heavenly Fire Tower has been activated, I no longer need to absorb my Internal Strength. With my Lower-class Fourth-level Aptitude cultivation, I'm already at the top of the Third Grade Lower-class. One night is more than enough for me to cultivate a lot of Internal Strengths."

He worked quietly using the Han family's basic techniques. It wasn't long before he produced Internal Strength, which was then stored in his energy center.

If the current Han Feng used the Basic Fist Technique, Basic Leg Technique, and even the Claw Condensation Technique, his final power would be indestructible.

After three years of cultivation, Han Feng was no longer a novice. He had now succeeded in gaining over ten times the Internal Strength of a beginner.

"The Mortal-rank Martial Cultivators aren't precisely as divided as the Human Rank Martial Cultivators. While the latter have at least Twelve stars, the Mortal-rank Martial Cultivators only have the Early, Mid, and Late Periods."

"Meanwhile, for the Early Period of Mortal Rank, the Internal Strength generated inside one's body will gradually grow until it causes one of the eight Main Bloodlines to vibrate and break through. By then, the Martial Cultivator can enter the Middle Period of Mortal Ran ."

"If all eight Main Bloodlines opened up, I will reach the advanced Middle Period of Mortal Rank. Next, I'll have to condense the Internal Strength until it converts into a True Qi. Afterward, I can generate attributes before ultimately reaching the superior Late Period of Mortal Rank."

"After that, once all twelve meridians opened up, I can strongly infiltrate the Human Rank!"

"After three years of cultivation, I have become more proficient with the level of Early Period of Mortal Rank. If I continue at this pace, I will be able to advance to the Main Bloodline in a month or so!"

"The Mid Mortal-rank is the most difficult, and it also takes the longest time to attain."

"Once I've cultivated these Internal Strengths, I can practice the Art of Nine Flames and Strange Fire. Once I reach the First Layer, I can try to refine some spiritual objects and turn them into origin fluids. By that time, I should be able to easily make it to the Mid Period."
