Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2859 - 1057: Blue Fish Fire Spirit, Qi Xia’s Scheme

The Jiao Emperor True Flame!

Regarding this azure flame, Luo Chen was not unfamiliar with its power.

When he first ventured into the Land of Fallen Demons and clashed with Jiao Emperor Liu Jun, he had already directly confronted this very flame.

Its nature was peculiar, specifically designed to target the physical bodies of living creatures.

Especially potent against Savage Beasts!

The more vigorous the Qi-Blood within, the greater the destructive force of the Jiao Emperor True Flame. The Qi-Blood in a foe's body acted as its fuel; once ignited by the Jiao Emperor True Flame, it behaved like bone-creeping maggots, relentlessly consuming everything until nothing remained.

At that time, Luo Chen was merely brushed by a wisp of its power, forcing him to sever an arm instantly to barely escape being reduced to ash.

Later, Luo Chen consulted various records, leading him to a significant deduction about its origin.

The Jiaoren Clan, residing in the North Sea Cultivation World, possessed a long-standing inheritance. However, they were not, in essence, a formidable power.

In the distant past, the Jiaoren Clan served as prey for numerous Savage Beasts, hunted relentlessly.

From those Ancient Times up to the present day, due to their exquisite appearance and the inherent value of every part of their being as treasures, the Jiaoren Clan once again became targets for large-scale hunts by Human Clan experts.

Jiao Emperor Liu Jun's fervent desire to join the campaign to eradicate the Yuan Mo Sect stemmed from a clan emperor's desperate attempt to alter his people's dire fate.

And this Jiao Emperor True Flame was precisely a countermeasure conceived in the Ancient Times by the Jiaoren Clan's peak experts to evade the hunting of Savage Beasts.

They utilized the natural oils from Jiaoren bodies to cultivate a unique Sourceless Fire, meticulously nurturing it to the Fourth Order, specifically to combat Savage Beasts with formidable physical prowess.

Over countless millennia, who could fathom the vast quantities of grease and Blood Essence from powerful Jiaoren that this oil lamp had absorbed!

Logically, after generations of nurturing by experts, the Jiao Emperor True Flame should have advanced to the Fifth-Order Level. Yet, under Jiao Emperor Liu Jun's command, its performance was surprisingly unremarkable.

From Luo Chen's current vantage point, Jiao Emperor Liu Jun had clearly failed to unleash the flame's full potential.

With a mere thought, the oil lamp began to spin, drifting towards Luo Chen's position.

He gazed intently at the azure flame, allowing his Divine Perception to probe its depths incrementally.

A moment later, Luo Chen experienced a profound realization.

"So that's why!"

Little White inquired with curiosity, "Master, so that's why what?"

"No wonder Jiao Emperor Liu Jun couldn't fully unleash this flame's might," Luo Chen chuckled softly. He gestured towards the blue flame, explaining, "After eons of nurturing, mingled with the grease and Blood Essence of countless Jiaoren powerhouses, an excessive amount of Consciousness has seeped into this flame, to the extent that it has stifled the emergence of the Sourceless Fire's own Fire Spirit! And with Jiao Emperor Liu Jun's personal Realm, he was incapable of suppressing the chaotic thoughts of his predecessors lingering within, naturally limiting him to releasing only a fraction of its true power."

Little White simply responded with an 'oh,' feeling little attachment to the matter. As a Kindred of Yin Souls, she harbored no fondness for such potent flames.

However, the Demon Monk Kongchan, standing nearby, perceived things differently.

If the Jiao Emperor True Flame harbored so many distracting thoughts that even its successor, Liu Jun, couldn't fully control it, yet Luo Chen could effortlessly subdue it and even turn it against its master, that alone demonstrated the astonishing might of Luo Chen's Divine Soul Endowment!

For an instant, his gaze towards Luo Chen intensified with reverence.

Were Luo Chen aware of Kongchan's internal musings, he might have partially concurred!

The reason for only partial agreement was that Luo Chen's method of suppressing the Jiao Emperor True Flame did not rely solely on his formidable Divine Soul Endowment.

Several critical factors were at play.

Firstly, the "Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra," the primary cultivation technique Luo Chen followed, was inherently the most potent Fire Element Technique in existence; in terms of Fire Control, nothing could surpass it!

Secondly, Luo Chen possessed the two supreme Fifth-Order Divine Fires: Withering and Flourishing Nirvana. Even a mere wisp of their aura was sufficient to suppress the Jiao Emperor True Flame, which had yet to reach the Fifth Order.

Lastly, it was inextricably linked to Luo Chen's comprehension of the Law True Meaning: Fire Origin!

Before the Fire Origin, regardless of how unique the manifestations of these Sourceless Fires might appear, they were fundamentally still fire. How could they dare to display arrogance in his presence?

After providing Little White with a concise explanation, Luo Chen held the oil lamp in one hand, stroked his chin with the other, and became lost in contemplation.

Little White and Kongchan remained silent, daring not to disturb him as they stood at the side.

Amidst the howling northern wind, the azure lamp flame swayed gently, casting a soft radiance.

Suddenly!

Luo Chen formed a sword with his left hand's two fingers and slowly began to pull outwards towards the starlight-like lamp flame.

Kongchan let out a soft exclamation, "Soul Hooking!"

Luo Chen glanced at him and casually inquired, "What is called Soul Hooking?"

Kongchan's expression faltered. "Isn’t what you are currently using precisely the high-level Soul Technique, Soul Hooking?"

Luo Chen's dark brows twitched slightly. "This is merely the Soul Absorption Technique from the lower-order spells."

Soul Absorption Technique?

Kongchan swallowed audibly, feeling even more profoundly how unfathomable Luo Chen’s attainments in the Divine Soul were.

He had managed to achieve the effect of the high-level Soul Technique, Soul Hooking, using only the lowest-order Soul Absorption Technique.

These were two Soul Techniques that appeared similar but possessed vastly different powers.

While both aimed to seize the Soul, the former could only pull it out when the enemy no longer possessed a body. Soul Hooking, however, could bypass the shackles of the physical body and forcibly wrench out the Soul of a living being.

After Kongchan's explanation, Luo Chen's interest was piqued.

"So you understand this high-level Soul Technique. Do you happen to have the original cultivation technique with you?"

"This humble monk does indeed understand this technique. It was acquired by chance after the annihilation of the Yuan Mo Sect, but it is merely a copy."

"A copy will suffice!"

Kongchan respectfully produced a piece of yellowed skin and offered it to Luo Chen.

"Human Skin Parchment?"

With a single glance, Luo Chen discerned the material nature of the yellowed skin. He calmly unfurled it, and the characters inscribed upon it immediately entered his vision.

After observing for a short period, the movement of Luo Chen's fingertips changed subtly.

The index and middle fingers, which had been straight like a sword, bent slightly, resembling a hook, like a crescent moon. As he silently recited the magic spell, his Divine Soul shifted its focus from intimidation and pressure to enticement and allure.
