Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 667 Devouring Heavenly Fire, the Sea of ​​Penglai! (Two Chapters Combined)

If he hadn't come to this primordial continent, he might never have come into contact with the solar fire in his lifetime.

As the golden sun approached, its scorching heat instantly devoured the surrounding air and even the spiritual energy.

Even if it's just a tiny flame, the fire elemental energy it contains seems inexhaustible!
If Song Changming hadn't possessed the unique characteristics of the Fire Elemental Spirit Body, he probably wouldn't have been able to get close to this solar fire.

Sufficiently high fire resistance is the foundation for getting close to the sun's fire.

Song Changming was soaring nearly a thousand meters above the plateau. At this moment, he also felt the sudden increase in the gravity of heaven and earth pressing down on him, but he didn't care.

His attention was focused on the sun's fire, which was only about ten meters away from him.

The flickering flames, compared to the sun's blazing light, appear as small as a greedy little beast.

Even Song Changming was somewhat unsure whether the fire seed he had honed to this point could actually 'devour' this bit of solar fire, given that the intensity of the fire elemental energy within it was truly terrifying.

Even Song Changming dared not touch it himself, and could only let the fire slowly approach on its own.

Huozi was initially cautious, but a longing was conveyed from Huozi to Song Changming.

This desire stemmed from his physical characteristics; the spark yearned to devour this bit of solar fire.

Seeing this, Song Changming naturally granted its wish and released the fire from its control.

The spark suddenly burst forth, rushing towards that point of solar fire.

boom!
The instant the spark came into contact with the sun's fire, a vast expanse of flames transformed into a sea of ​​fire in the sky above the plateau!
The heatwave swept across the plateau for hundreds of miles, causing wild animals to flee for their lives as if their backsides were on fire.

"What is Master doing?!" Fran felt the extreme heat of the sea of ​​fire above and had no choice but to cast a spell to envelop herself in holy light for self-protection.

Tang Kecha shook his head, unsure of Song Changming's thoughts.

Only Bi Yougen seemed to sense something and spoke up, "Master wants to subdue the Heavenly Fire!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Kecha was first startled, then somewhat bewildered, and asked, "Can the Sun God Fire be subdued?"

In his view, this was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Anyone who dares to touch this first divine fire in the world, even just a tiny bit of it falling, is enough to incinerate any living being.

Thinking of this, Tang Kecha suddenly became a little nervous again.

He was afraid that Song Changming was playing with fire and would lose himself, in which case the three of them would also perish.

"Perhaps Master has some unique methods that could allow him to succeed. There's nothing we can do to stop him right now; we can only pray that he succeeds," Fran said resignedly.

"This is insane!" Tang Kecha sighed helplessly, hoping that Song Changming still had some sense of reason.

Looking at the sea of ​​fire above his head, his eyes were filled with fear.

On the other side, Song Changming also personally felt the terrifying energy from the Sun God Fire through the fire he came into contact with. His nerves twitched and his mind was filled with a sense of crisis.

"Not good!" Song Changming's expression turned solemn. He had ultimately underestimated the power of the Sun God Fire.

The Fire Seed was ambitious, but it was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. The result of the hundred strange fires he had subdued in the past intertwined and merged was insignificant compared to the solar fire in front of him!

During the process of being devoured, the fire seed showed signs of disintegration.

"I can't swallow it!" Song Changming reacted quickly, but it was too late to stop now.

Without hesitation, witch marks appeared on Song Changming's jawbone!

He decisively unleashed his only Witch King Seal, spewing out a black gust of wind.

The Death Wind was unleashed, annihilating everything. Even the Sun God's Fire gradually dimmed under its influence.

What Song Changming did was simple: since the fire seed can't be fat in one bite, he would take a small bite first.

Ordinary things would have been annihilated long ago by the Deathly Wind, but even though this Sun God Fire was only a small amount, it still held firm for several minutes under the Deathly Wind.

Song Changming only withdrew the Death Sleep Wind when he felt it was enough.

And the sun god's fire, which had been worn down for quite some time, was finally successfully devoured by his fire seed.

Although it was only a tiny bit, it was enough to cause a great transformation in Song Changming's spark.

Its entire body glowed with golden firelight, within which was a trace of the sun god's fire intent that was merging.

Song Changming withdrew the fire seed into his body, nurtured it within, and awaited the outcome.

Judging from the current situation, the transformation of the spark will likely be incomplete within three to five days.

Even on the plateau, the raging fire could not be escaped. After all, Song Changming had only swallowed a small portion of the solar fire; other wisps of solar fire drifted to the plateau, and he was powerless to stop them.

Soon, the fire on the plateau became uncontrollable and spiraled out of control. Not only were the grass, trees, flowers, and fruits burned, but even the soil of the earth was burned to black ash by this heavenly fire.

"What a waste of such a good place." Song Changming walked across the fire unaffected.

This raging fire is more powerful than ordinary flames, but it is not the original divine fire of the sun in the sky, so it poses no threat to him. He could walk in the fire without any harm.

"Master, there is no need to worry. The sun fire that descends has both good and bad aspects. Although there will be fires, in a few years after the fires, the spiritual energy of this place will be even higher than before, and better plants, flowers, and fruits will grow."

Tang Kecha was loyal and dutiful, explaining things to Song Changming.

"I see. This solar fire brings more than just destruction; it might even create a super spiritual land." Song Changming understood.

"That's roughly the idea," Tang Kecha nodded.

As night fell, the fire on the plateau was extinguished by a sudden thunderstorm.

At the same time, the nine suns in the sky seemed to be driven away by the night, disappearing one after another.

Instead, there were nine bright moons and a sky full of stars and the Milky Way.

The stars shone brightly, and even more soft silver light spread across the land. The plateau, which had long been scorched earth, gradually regained some vitality after absorbing this silver light.

A folding iron fan is flying steadily close to the ground on this plateau.

Above the fan, Song Changming sat cross-legged in the center. He studied the transforming fire seed for a while, and only after confirming that everything was alright did he open his eyes and look at the night sky above.

For him, it was like going from day to night the moment he opened his eyes.

Because of a fire in the sky, the plateau seemed incredibly desolate. He gazed at the nine-moon in the sky for a few more moments.

Tang Kecha and the other two had long been accustomed to the unique celestial phenomena of the original continent, but Song Changming still found it novel.

Gazing at the starry sky and bright moon, which seemed so distant and unapproachable, yet for some reason, they stirred up a myriad of thoughts in Song Changming.

The faint light given to him by the Abyss Emperor within his body was directed towards the top of his head.

And what else could be above this sky besides a sky full of stars?

"Could those immortals live on these stars?" Song Changming suddenly asked, causing the other three people on the iron folding fan to exchange glances.

"There are some rumors that gods come from heaven, but this claim is unverifiable and is merely some people's conjecture. I cannot make a judgment either," Tang Kecha replied cautiously.

Song Changming might have just said it casually and didn't care, but he would have to think carefully before answering and wouldn't dare to be perfunctory.

"Hmm." Song Changming didn't say much about the matter, only instructing Tang Kecha to continue driving the iron fan forward.

After such a raging fire, this desolate scorched plateau is much safer than ever before. Not even a single bird or beast can be seen, so it doesn't matter if you speed up your journey.

"Has the Azure Dragon confessed?" Song Changming turned to ask Fulan.

“They still won’t agree, so I poured a few more bottles of holy water and increased the intensity. It should be soon,” Fran said, a cruel yet bright smile on her face.

"If they don't confess by tomorrow, there's no need to keep them alive any longer." Song Changming felt that keeping this dragon soul was a potential problem and didn't want to drag things out for too long.

"Yes."

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Song Changming closed his eyes again and began to refine the essence of the dragon's flesh and blood that he had obtained.

Meanwhile, in the secluded valley.

The four dragons reunited.

"Big brother, Xiao Wu is missing," one of the azure dragons said first.

"What's going on?" asked the largest of the three, a green dragon with a white horn on its head, in a muffled voice.

The dragon breath it releases is the most powerful, exuding an indescribable terror, far surpassing the three azure dragons surrounding it.

"I wonder where he went. Maybe he was greedy and chased after those mortals," another azure dragon said nonchalantly.

"Are there any ruthless characters among those mortals?" the leader of the dragons asked.

"Brother, you're overthinking it. How many mortals can be truly powerful?" said the fourth brother of the dragon, his tone dismissive.

In its eyes, those mortals were nothing more than delicious snacks.

"Second brother, go and find Xiao Wu. Don't delay our important business. If we miss that old immortal tree, we'll have to wait another thousand years!" the eldest dragon said with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, brother, don't worry, I will not delay your immortal fruit!" After the second dragon replied, it turned around and headed out of the secluded valley.

"Once I eat the immortal fruit, I will obtain an immortal body. When I return to the Dragon Palace in Qinghai, let's see who dares to underestimate us five brothers!"

"That is the Celestial Court."

The next day, the sun rose.

After a night of rapid, low-altitude flight, I thought leaving the plateau shouldn't be a problem.

Little did they know that the plateau was far more vast and boundless than Song Changming had imagined. They had only escaped the scorched earth left by the heavenly fire, but were still on the plateau, and the road ahead was still endless. They didn't know how many days it would take to completely leave.

It is worth mentioning that the terrain they passed through was gradually descending.

The most noticeable change is that the gravity exerted on them weakens as the terrain they are in descends.

Thus, Song Changming also arrived at a conclusion about the gravity of heaven and earth.

The strength of gravity attached to a person's body is mainly affected by two factors.

One factor is the terrain. The lower the terrain, the less gravity an individual experiences; the higher the terrain, the stronger the gravity.

The other is the airborne state.

When your feet touch the ground, gravity decreases accordingly; when you take off, gravity increases sharply, and the higher you fly, the stronger the gravity becomes.

Based on these two points, we can conclude that by standing in low-lying areas and living a down-to-earth life, one can experience the slightest pressure from the gravity of heaven and earth.

In addition, according to Tang Kecha, the alternation of day and night and the changing of the four seasons also affect the strength of gravity to some extent, but these have a relatively small impact compared to the two points mentioned above.

"If there truly is a Heavenly Way, then it seems that this Heavenly Way does not want us to one day go to Heaven to greet it," Song Changming blurted out a sarcastic remark.

After all, the gravity of heaven and earth fluctuating so much seems to be manipulated by someone, and the intention is too obvious.

It's obvious that they don't want the creatures of the primordial continent to ascend to heaven, which is why they use this gravity to suppress the world!

With such the ability to manipulate gravity, the only thing Song Changming could imagine was the omnipotent 'Heavenly Dao'.
"Master, it has confessed!" Fran exclaimed happily.

For the sake of finding a clue to this immortal fruit, she tormented the dragon soul almost non-stop throughout the night, employing a variety of torture methods that left Tang Kecha dumbfounded.

The final result was that the Azure Dragon Soul finally gave in.

"I only ask for death. Kill me immediately after you finish speaking!" the Dragon Soul said weakly.

Under Fran's torment, it suddenly felt that death was not so scary anymore.

It knew that it had no chance of survival, and now it only wanted to die to end it all.

"I must be going crazy," Jiao Laowu muttered in a daze.

He knew this was his elder brother's most important secret, but at this moment he couldn't care less; all he wanted was to be free.

“There is a sea called Penglai, which is said to be the place where the tenth sun fell. There is an old immortal tree there that bears an immortal fruit every thousand years for living beings to pick.”

Dragon Soul's voice trembled, sounding very weak, and he spoke intermittently.

Song Changming couldn't help but glance at Fulan beside him.

Although she represents holiness and radiance, in her own little world she is still the supreme saint.

Such a woman possessed such effective methods of tormenting people; after just one night, even this dragon had no choice but to submit obediently.

Having obtained the information they wanted, Tang Kecha and the other two were extremely excited.

This is a divine fruit, something I've been longing for day and night!
Now we're finally seeing some progress!

"The name Penglai has a special meaning, appearing in many ancient books and implying a fairyland at sea."

In Kyushu, there are also several spiritually significant places at sea, which are named Penglai.

However, Song Changming never expected to hear this term again on this primordial continent, and that it would be associated with that crucial immortal fruit.

In addition, putting aside the old immortal tree for the time being, the place where the tenth sun fell, as mentioned by the dragon soul, also caught his attention.

"Could it be that there was once a tenth sun on this primordial continent?" Among the three, Bi Yougen was the first to recover from his ecstasy and raised his doubts about what the dragon soul had said.

Before this, they had never heard of the strange occurrence of a tenth sun in the sky above the primordial continent.

And would the sun in the sky really fall down?
