Three-year agreement, burning body
Seeing that the female Cultivators had already begun to fall into a strange internal struggle, endlessly bickering and making noise, Lin Xingyun smiled and didn't pay them much mind.
Not long after, Bai Ze finished clearing the battlefield and flew back to his side.
He took the four Magic Treasures and put them away.
He felt that the two armors had become hundreds of times heavier, and it was already somewhat difficult for him to hold them.
However, after the armors absorbed the black Qi, they still returned to their dead silence, without any divine activation.
"Eat and then sleep? Are you taking me for a fool?!"
Lin Xingyun unhappily smacked the two armors around, but he couldn't even make a dent.
He could only toss them into his Immortal Cave with a flick of his hand.
"Let's go, it's time to do something serious."
He mounted Bai Ze and gave the command.
He simply waved at everyone, then transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the Far East, departing.
Seeing this, everyone present immediately knelt and bowed in farewell.
"Farewell, Young Master Lin—!"
Although the female Cultivators were anxious and full of regret, they could only sigh repeatedly about the fleeting glimpse and the vanished Immortal trace!
As the person in charge, Ji Yin bowed to Lin Xingyun's departing figure, then immediately began to transmit orders.
Now that the main force of the foreign invaders was gone, he needed to command everyone to go to various parts of the Burning Flame World and begin to fully reclaim the occupied territories!
… … … … … … … …
… … … … … … … …
Burning Flame World, Far East.
Above a scorching abyss stretching for a thousand miles.
Ancient figures sat in a circle, guarding a black-clothed young man in the center.
The young man was exceptionally heroic and carried himself with distinction, with various colored flames drifting around his body, gathering above his head.
The flames were all different shapes and colors, yet he could contain them!
They began to fuse with each other without any rejection.
Half an hour later, he finally fused the flames into a more powerful Natal Divine Fire, which then floated back to his glabella.
The next moment, his Cultivation aura surged again.
He had finally steadily reached the Perfection of the Divine Fire Realm!
After he stood up, he solemnly cupped his hands to one of the three old men.
"Thank you, Senior Gu, for your protection. Three years from now, this Junior will surely take you to Ascend to the Immortal Realm!"
"No need to be polite, little friend, you..."
Gu Ling was about to exchange a few pleasantries.
Xiao Xin immediately turned to another old man and cupped his hands in another bow.
"Thank you, Senior Long, for your protection. Three years from now, this Junior will surely take you to Ascend to the Immortal Realm!"
"You're too polite, little friend. I'm also doing this for our Burning Flame..."
Before Long Yuan could finish speaking.
Xiao Xin then bowed to the last old man.
"Thank you, Senior Dan, for your protection. Three years from now, this Junior will surely take you to Ascend to the Immortal Realm!"
"Thank you, little friend! But..."
"But please forgive this old man for asking one more question!"
"Why don't you directly thank and promise all three of us at once?"
Dan Xuanzi looked speechless.
He couldn't help but ask with a wrinkled old face.
"This is this Junior's secret, please do not inquire further, Senior."
Xiao Xin replied with a smile, not intending to disclose it.
But then Gu Ling and the other two were astonished to find that the other party's Cultivation aura had actually increased by another segment!
Although the increase wasn't significant, such a sudden, inexplicable increase in Cultivation truly made all of them widen their eyes in shock!
"Little friend Xiao Xin! How did your Cultivation..."
"Seniors, there's no need to ask further, it was just a fluke!"
Xiao Xin replied with a chuckle, his face full of joy.
He was originally the chief Disciple of a second-rate Sect in the Immortal Realm, with exceptional Cultivation talent.
Eighteen years ago, however, due to an accidental severe injury, his Sea of Consciousness was completely destroyed, turning him into a cripple and a laughingstock of the Sect!
Just as he thought he would live out his remaining life in a muddle, more than seven years ago, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, directly empowering him!
From then on, not only did his Sea of Consciousness fully recover, but his Cultivation was also as if aided by a divine being. In just seven short years, he reached the Perfection of the Divine Fire Realm!
Moreover, as if enlightened, he had awakened two extremely powerful Cultivation talents!
The first was the [Three-Year Agreement]!
Review: [Three-Year Agreement] (Orange): Each time a Three-Year Agreement is made with someone, Cultivation and Luck will continuously increase within three years. After completing the Three-Year Agreement, the effect doubles. If it cannot be completed, the effect will be withdrawn after three years. The stronger the person with whom the agreement is made, and the more difficult the agreed matter, the better the effect!
Over these past few years, he had traveled everywhere, seizing opportunities to make Three-Year Agreements.
In the past, when his strength was low in the Sect, he could only make small agreements, such as 'I'll come find you in three years,' or 'I'll come scold you in three years.'
Or 'I'll help you repair your Immortal Cave in three years,' or even 'I'll take your dog's life in three years!'
But as long as a Three-Year Agreement was made, he could continuously gain Cultivation and Luck amplification.
Completing the agreement would directly double the effect!
Failure to complete the agreement would result in the effect being withdrawn.
And it had to be exactly three years; even two and a half years wouldn't count as completing the agreement!
As he continuously Cultivated and grew stronger, the people and matters involved in his agreements also improved, naturally leading to better effects.
Coupled with Xiao Xin's utmost emphasis on integrity and promises, he almost always fulfilled his agreements.
After more than seven years of continuously making and fulfilling agreements, his Cultivation directly skyrocketed, and his Luck and fortune became incredibly abundant!
This trip to the Burning Flame World was due to him sensing a great Opportunity appearing. He coincidentally found a realm gate, which allowed him to descend to the Lower Realm!
"Alright, alright, it's natural for a Cultivator to have secrets!"
"Little friend Xiao Xin, although your Cultivation has advanced further, the Melting Fire Abyss is extremely dangerous, so you must be careful!"
Gu Ling and the other two shook their heads, no longer pressing the issue, but instead gave a warning.
At this moment, countless black and white flames churned in the abyss below them.
They constantly emitted terrifying fire waves capable of incinerating countless Cultivators!
The Melting Fire Abyss was an absolute death trap in the Burning Flame World.
It was filled with terrifying flames that even Wanghou Realm Cultivators found hard to resist.
Wanghou Realm Perfection Cultivators could only stay for a moment longer before still being burned to ashes by those two-colored flames!
However, Xiao Xin looked down into the abyss with confidence, utterly fearless.
Because his other awakened talent was called the [Burning Flame Fire Body]!
It allowed him to be fearless of all fires in the world, and instead, he could fuse them as nourishment!
Review: [Burning Flame Fire Body] (Orange): A peculiar Fire Physique, naturally extremely affinity with all fires in the world. It can fuse various flames between heaven and earth to strengthen itself. After progressively fusing flames, it can transform into orange, gold, and other Ranks. When it grows to its extreme, it can even rival the ten great Physiques of the Immortal Realm!
Over the past seven years, he had continuously fused various heaven and earth flames, allowing his Burning Flame Fire Body to reach Minor Achievement.
"The two-colored flames below are truly extraordinary, much more powerful than any flames I've ever seen!"
"If I can subdue them all, my Cultivation will surely advance greatly again!"
"First, I'll go fuse with the World Source, and then I'll come back to subdue these flames!"
Xiao Xin pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and promised the three old men.
"Don't worry, Seniors, I will definitely find the World Source this time."
"This time, it won't take three years. After Fusion, I will thoroughly exterminate those foreign invaders!"
The Origin of a Small World possessed boundless power.
Once acknowledged and fused into one's body, it was as if one's body merged with the world, allowing one to freely control the spiritual Qi and all native creatures of this world!
Even if he only had Divine Fire Realm Cultivation.
Once fused with the World Source, if he wished, he could instantly break into the Wanghou Realm Perfection!
Moreover, as long as he was within this Burning Flame World, all things would be under his control, like an absolute home ground, putting him in an unbeatable position from the start!
"Thank you, little friend!"
"Take care, little friend! The three of us will continue to act as your Protectors here!"
Gu Ling and the other two also cupped their hands in thanks, full of anticipation for Xiao Xin.
Xiao Xin no longer hesitated and immediately leaped into the abyss.
Five-colored divine flames drifted around his body, protecting him thoroughly.
The black and white flames also seemed to be attracted by his Physique, not displaying their burning power, but instead showing a hint of affinity.
They actually allowed him to easily pass through the blazing inferno and descend into the abyss!
"As expected of a person of destiny! He can even be fearless of these abyss flames!"
"With little friend Xiao Xin's help, our Burning Flame World will surely survive this great tribulation safely!"
"It's too outrageous! Even this old man couldn't last long in those terrifying flames back then, and couldn't descend into the abyss at all!"
"Little friend Xiao Xin is only in the Divine Fire Realm, and he can be perfectly fine?!"
"Heh, who are you to talk?"
"Even that Queen of the Snake Yao Race back then went into the abyss and never returned. Old Dragon, your meager ability is far inferior to hers!"
"Eh? Speaking of which, that Queen back then also seemed to have extraordinary talent, able to devour various divine and wondrous fires. This is very similar to little friend Xiao Xin!"
"But she was too greedy, actually wanting to explore this Melting Fire Abyss!"
"Perhaps she also sensed that there was a great Opportunity hidden beneath?"
"What a pity, everything has its fate.
If the Opportunity is insufficient, and one is not a person of destiny, even if they find the World Source, how could it be so easy to obtain?"
The three old men stroked their beards and sighed.
They seemed to recall the peerless grace of that red-clothed Queen from back then.
After all, she was extremely powerful, once the strongest expert in the Burning Flame World.
And her beauty was exquisite, her fame widespread.
Unfortunately, once she entered the Melting Fire Abyss, there was no more news of her, and it has been hundreds of years since.
