Chapter 158 The Secret Book of Heavenly Flames

Chu Han once again opened Old Ghost Chi Yang's B-grade space ring. It was crammed full of various treasures, a dazzling array that left his eyes swimming.

In a corner of the space ring, a massive pile of energy stones was stacked, ranging from the lowest-grade Low Grade energy stones to precious High Grade ones. There were easily over ten thousand pieces, emitting a rich fluctuation of Yuan Power.

Next to them were several dozen jade bottles containing various Medicinal Pills for healing wounds, achieving Breakthroughs, and recovering Yuan Power. Among them were a few rare 6th-rank and 7th-rank pills.

There were also quite a few exotic beast Materials, each worth a fortune.

Chu Han could also use the Materials here to exchange for hunting points.

Chu Han casually flipped through a few items. Although these Materials and pills were precious, they weren't urgently needed by him.

His gaze was quickly drawn to a pile of Cultivation Technique manuals and Secret Manuals at the center of the ring.

There were a full twenty to thirty Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill manuals there, mostly of the fire attribute.

"Truly worthy of an 8th-Rank Grandmaster. His collection is indeed bountiful," Chu Han praised inwardly.

He then picked up a Cultivation Technique manual titled 'Heavenly Flame Secret Tome.'

Chu Han felt the strongest fire attribute Yuan Power fluctuation emanating from this manual.

Clearly, Old Ghost Chi Yang had frequently perused this Secret Manual.

He opened the manual and flipped through it from beginning to end, instantly comprehending the profound mysteries of this technique.

The 'Heavenly Flame Secret Tome' was actually an S-rank Cultivation Technique. Its core lay in 'Flame Fusion' and 'Flame Sense.'

It could deeply fuse the practitioner's innate flames with their own Yuan Power, thoroughly stimulating the flames' potential, causing the flames' power to increase exponentially.

It could also greatly enhance sensitivity to fire attribute energy. Whether it was distant fire attribute treasures, exotic beasts, or the fire attribute energy within a Martial Artist's body, it could be precisely sensed. One could even draw upon the fire attribute energy between heaven and earth to strengthen themselves.

"It's because Old Ghost Chi Yang cultivated this technique that he was able to keep tracking me without losing my trail."

A surge of joy rose in Chu Han's heart. It seemed Old Ghost Chi Yang hadn't been lying.

"This technique is also exceptionally rare for me!"

His Flame God Body was an SS-rank Talent, and the intensity of his flames was already extremely high.

Combined with the Dragon Fire Yuan Power cultivated through the Nine Dragons True Fire Art, their combined power was already formidable.

However, there was still a slight barrier between the two types of flames, preventing them from completely merging into one.

The 'Flame Fusion' method of the 'Heavenly Flame Secret Tome' happened to perfectly remedy this flaw, allowing the Flame Gods Fire and Dragon Fire Yuan Power to fuse completely, unleashing even greater power.

As for the 'Flame Sense' ability, it would also allow him to achieve twice the result with half the effort when hunting fire attribute exotic beasts or searching for fire attribute treasures.

Chu Han couldn't wait and began cultivating immediately.

Although the 'Heavenly Flame Secret Tome' was profoundly mysterious, Chu Han possessed the Ten Thousand Times Talent and was already cultivating another S-rank technique.

Comprehending this technique wasn't difficult for him.

He only took two hours to grasp all the core tenets of the Heavenly Flame Secret Tome.

He immediately activated the Heavenly Flame Secret Tome, simultaneously channeling his Dragon Fire Yuan Power and Flame Gods Fire.

Following the Flame Fusion method of the Heavenly Flame Secret Tome, he slowly began merging the flames with his Yuan Power.

At first, there was still some resistance between the two. But as the technique circulated, the sense of resistance gradually faded. The flames and Yuan Power blended seamlessly like milk and water, transforming into a stream of golden Flame Dragon Yuan Power that flowed smoothly through his Meridians.

"Such formidable power!" Chu Han could clearly feel that the fused Flame Dragon Yuan Power retained the vastness of the Dragon Fire Yuan Power and the domineering force of the Flame Gods Fire. Its power had increased severalfold.

He attempted to channel the Flame Dragon Yuan Power into his flame demon battle saber. The saber's body instantly erupted with a dazzling golden light, and the power of the flames was more than a level stronger than before.

However, this Fusion also consumed a great deal of his own Yuan Power.

It required continuous Fusion and practice to gradually reduce the resistance between the Flame Gods Fire and Dragon Fire Yuan Power.

As his mastery of the Heavenly Flame Secret Tome deepened, the Fusion effect would also improve.

What surprised Chu Han even more was that cultivating the Heavenly Flame Secret Tome allowed his Nine Dragons True Fire Art to advance further, breaking through to the 6th layer.

This caused his cultivation base to increase significantly once again.

After mastering the Heavenly Flame Secret Tome, Chu Han began browsing through the other Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill manuals.

These Martial Skills were mostly exquisite collections from Old Ghost Chi Yang's lifetime. Among them were two S-rank Martial Skills: 'Scarlet Flame Saber Art' and 'Flame God Finger.' There were also seven or eight A-rank Martial Skills, covering various types like saber, palm, fist, and leg techniques.

The 'Scarlet Flame Saber Art' was the very saber technique Old Ghost Chi Yang had used, condensing flames into a saber with astonishing power.

During the saber technique duel with Chu Han, it hadn't been at a disadvantage initially.

Chu Han planned to fuse the Heaven Burning Saber Art with the Army Breaking Saber Momentum. Their explosive force and power would undoubtedly rise to another level.

Once the idea was settled, he merely practiced a few times to grasp the core Moves of the saber art. Combining them with the Army Breaking Saber Momentum, the power of his saber techniques ascended yet another level.

The 'Flame God Finger' was a purely explosive Martial Skill. It condensed fire attribute energy at the fingertip to shoot out, possessing super-strong penetrating power and generating terrifying explosive force upon hitting the target. Its power was astounding.

This Move was more concentrated than the Heaven Burning Palm and more powerful than the Blazing Aura Fist or Profound Fire Finger. It belonged to the category of pinpoint explosive Martial Skills and couldn't be fired in rapid succession like the Profound Fire Finger.

Chu Han attempted to execute it a few times. The power greatly satisfied him; it could even penetrate three thousand meters of dense rock underground.

Apart from these, those few A-rank Martial Skills each had their own exquisite aspects.

Chu Han learned all these Martial Skills and integrated them into his own saber, fist, palm, and finger techniques, gaining a great deal from it.

He cultivated until the next morning, by which time he had fully integrated all his Martial Skills.

His personal strength had skyrocketed once more. Even if he faced two 8th Rank Initial Stage powerhouses joining forces again, he could handle them with ease, even defeat them effortlessly.

Chu Han opened the Lottery Space. He had already accumulated 4 lottery draws.

As the seven-colored wheel started spinning again, Chu Han performed a four-draw in a row.

[Congratulations! You have obtained 5 High Grade energy stones.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the A-rank Cultivation Technique 'Divine Wind Art.']

[Congratulations! You have obtained the B-rank Martial Skill 'Hidden Thunder Fist.']

[Congratulations! You have obtained 5 7th-rank Huasheng Pills.]

The lottery results this time were fairly decent.

Among them, the 7th-rank Huasheng Pill was a miraculous healing medicine, capable of instantly reviving a severely injured body.

Storing these items in his space ring, Chu Han casually ate breakfast.

During the 4 days of cultivation, he hadn't eaten, mainly because the energy contained within the bodhi fruit was sufficient for his consumption.

After eating, Chu Han left the cavern.

He reappeared above ground.

He released his Mental Energy, covering a radius of five kilometers within his perception range.

Immediately, he detected a group of Martial Artists.

It was a Martial Artist squad led by a 7th Rank Mid-stage Grandmaster, seemingly searching for something.

Moreover, based on their auras, he could confirm these people were from the Mosheng Society.

The Mosheng Society still hadn't given up searching for him, clearly not relinquishing their desire for that bodhi fruit.

"Saves me the time of looking for you."

With a cold laugh, Chu Han transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for this group of Martial Artists.

Meanwhile, several kilometers away in a Darkwood Forest deep within the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range, these Mosheng Society members remained unaware that danger was approaching.

"Everyone, search carefully! That person absolutely couldn't have left the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range. He just finished fighting Old Ghost Chi Yang and Xiao Xuanjun; he's injured!"

The leading Grandmaster was still constantly boosting the morale of his subordinates.

"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, a voice came from ahead.

It startled all the Martial Artists; the voice was too abrupt.

Even that Grandmaster hadn't noticed when the source of the voice had appeared.

They saw a young Martial Artist step out from behind a tree ahead. He had delicate features, a heroic bearing, and looked to be less than twenty years old.

It was a completely unfamiliar face.
