“And I guard this Li Huo secret realm, which was discovered by my master in his youth and later transformed by my older brother, Li Jin.”
“This place was originally a strange space formed from fragments of chaotic ancient fire that fell at the beginning of the universe, containing the most primitive fire-based laws.”
“Before leaving this realm, my brother entrusted this realm to me, firstly out of consideration for our shared sect, and secondly to provide me with a safe haven to settle down and comprehend the Dao of Fire.”
“Secondly, I also hope to protect this place and prevent its origins from being polluted by irresponsible people, which could lead to disaster.”
“In this secret realm, I relied on some cultivation insights left by my eldest brother, some pointers from my second brother, and the boundless fire spirit energy from the secret realm itself.”
“It took thousands of years to simply combine the arts of sword and fire and create the Blazing Sky Fire Sword Technique, which is why I have the insignificant reputation of being a Heavenly Fire Sword Master today.”
“But compared to my two older brothers who have roamed the heavens for a long time and held sway over ha laws, fireflies are like the moon, dust is like a mountain, they are truly insignificant, too embarrassing to mention.”
Chen listened to Ling Yan’s story quietly and understood it.
So, that’s how complicated its origins are.
A mysterious and powerful teacher, two brothers who took completely opposite paths but both reached the peak of their abilities, and a brother with limited talents who still carries out his duties and works hard to catch up.
This Flame Realm was not only a treasure trove, but also, to a certain extent, a complex place in Ling Yan’s heart where glory and regret were intertwined.
“Since this Blazing Fire Secret Realm was entrusted to you by the Blazing Fire Demon Lord to protect, why did you set such strict rules, prohibiting outsiders from entering?”
“Even though we came here to escape disaster, we almost fought each other?” David asked another question that was on his mind.
Ling Yan’s expression turned serious, and he suppressed the emotions he previously felt, becoming solemn.
He pointed to the deepest part of the secret realm, to the area where the fire was most chaotic, as if it could even devour and distort light, and said in a deep voice.
“There are two reasons. First, this place was solemnly entrusted to me by my big brother, Li Jin. Since I, Ling Yan, have received his mandate, I must be loyal to his mission and never allow outsiders to arbitrarily tarnish or destroy the sanctity and integrity of this place, nor allow the secret realm’s resources to be exploited and misused. This is my promise to my big brother, and this is also where my Dao heart lies.”
He paused, his tone becoming more serious, even a hint of worry.
“Secondly, and most importantly, the core of the secret realm is not an ordinary cultivation paradise or treasure chamber, but rather the true resting place of that fragment of the Chaos Origin Flame, and also the place where our senior brother left behind a portion of his true inheritance and boundaries!”
Ling Yan’s gaze fell on the chaotic area, his voice low.
“Before leaving, my big brother sternly warned me that the Chaos Origin Fire is the original fire that existed before the creation of heaven and earth and before the separation of the primordial chaos. It is the ancestor of all fire and the root of destruction and creation.”
“It is cruel and unfathomable, and the law fragments contained within it are far beyond what this world can bear.”
“Those who do not possess the purest and most fiery essence, whose will is as strong as chaotic divine iron, and who have obtained its approval, are prohibited from approaching the core forbidden area!”
“Otherwise, even if I reach the peak of my abilities, I will definitely suffer the terrible consequences of the source fire. At best, my Dao foundation will be completely destroyed, leaving me crippled; at worst, my body and soul will be wiped out, and I will never be able to reincarnate!”
He turned his gaze and looked at David, his eyes filled with unprecedented seriousness and warning.
“Brother Daoist Chen, I don’t know your background or what you rely on.”
“You were able to repel the external fire spirit, perhaps because you have a rare treasure or a special physique. But this Chaos Origin Flame is nothing ordinary! It cannot be resisted with brute force or ordinary magic weapons.”
“I have guarded this place for a thousand years, and every day I can feel a terrifying pressure emanating from its core, a pressure that makes my soul tremble.”
“Even I only dare to absorb the gentle fire spirit that has been filtered through the secret realm layers in the outer area for cultivation, and I never dare to cross the line!”
“Even though your abilities are great, you must not approach that core forbidden area out of curiosity! That is a realm that cannot be touched by any human immortal, not even an ordinary immortal!”
