I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Jizhou was blessed with a sudden change of heart. He endured the pain of his body burning, and immersed all his mind into his body, trying hard to feel the path guided by Mingchuan's spiritual power.

He gave up relying on his own complicated skills and tried to imitate and follow purely with his mind.

It was extremely difficult at first. His thoughts were like a small boat struggling in the stormy waves, which could be destroyed by the essence of the earth fire at any time.

But gradually, under Mingchuan's continuous guidance and protection, he began to catch a unique rhythm contained in the violent energy... It was the beating of the fire of the earth veins, and the fragments of the fire law contained in the Burning Heaven Secret Realm itself!

He no longer tried to control by force, but tried to follow and guide.

A faint trace of spiritual power, bearing Jizhou's own mark, was finally born in the torrent of earth fire essence, and began to flow carefully along the path opened up by Mingchuan.

Although it is weak, it is a brand new beginning!

Jizhou couldn't help but feel happy, and was even more grateful to Mingchuan for giving him a new life.

However, at this critical moment, something strange happened!

Perhaps the picking of the Earth Fire Red Lotus activated the earth veins, or perhaps the energy fluctuations in Jizhou's body reached a critical point, and the depression where they were located shook violently!

Bigger bubbles gurgled out of the center of the magma lake, the surface of the lake rippled violently, and an older, hotter breath spread from deep below the lake.

"Brother Ming, what's wrong?" Jizhou asked nervously.

Mingchuan frowned and glanced sharply towards the center of the lake.

He felt that something seemed to be disturbed in the depths of this secret realm.

But at this moment, Jizhou is at the critical moment of cleansing and must not be interrupted!

"Concentrate! Don't be disturbed by external things!" Mingchuan shouted in a deep voice. At the same time, he strengthened the protection of Jizhou and used part of his mind to vigilantly watch the unusual movements of the magma lake.

After hearing this, Jizhou realized that there was no way out and he could only follow Mingchuan's arrangement and move to the next level!

He immediately hardened his resolve and mobilized his newly born weak spiritual power even more frantically, actively heading towards the seemingly endless essence of earth and fire!

The pain continued, and was even exacerbated by his proactive response.

But his eyes became brighter and brighter, a kind of determined light that found the way forward in extreme pain!

His meridians became increasingly tough and broad in the cycle of destruction and repair. The mixed spiritual power was calcined and purified by the essence of the earth fire and integrated into the new power with fiery attributes!

Black dirt began to seep out of his body, a sign that impurities in his meridians and flesh were being forcibly expelled...

Pain, this pain is even completely different from the pain of dying!

Sweat poured down Jizhou's forehead and his brows were furrowed. He even doubted for a moment whether he could hold on any longer!

"Uh-huh...!"

He gritted his teeth and didn't dare to relax even a little bit!

Just when Jizhou felt that his consciousness was about to be torn apart by the endless burning pain and was about to sink—

"Stay true to your heart! Everything will turn around after it's too late, and good times will come after bad times! This pain is the foundation of your new life!"

Mingchuan's voice rang out again, carrying with it a strange calming power, like an icy spring pouring on Jizhou's almost boiling soul.

At the same time, the gentle spiritual power that Mingchuan brought into his body suddenly changed. It was no longer just guidance and protection, but turned into countless fine and mysterious runes.

Like the most delicate carving knife, it imprinted on Jizhou's meridian barrier, which was repeatedly washed by the essence of the earth fire and was almost transparent!

These runes are not for suppression, but for guidance, strengthening, and giving resilience!

They flickered with a faint light, resonating with Jizhou's new, weak but tenacious spiritual power.

Om-!

Something seemed to explode in Jizhou's mind!

It’s not destruction, but a sudden enlightenment!

The extreme pain seemed to reach its peak at this moment, and then... it quietly transformed!

The essence of earth fire, which was originally as violent and destructive as lava, seemed to be peeled off its violent shell under the combined effect of runes and Jizhou's own will, revealing the purest and most original fire life energy inside!

The pain is still there, but it is of a different nature.

From simple burning and tearing, it turned into fiery forging and rebirth!

Just like fine steel that has been tempered a hundred times, impurities are removed and the essence is condensed in the heavy hammer and fierce fire.

Jizhou saw that his weak new spiritual power, like a hungry cub, began to actively and efficiently devour and integrate these pure original energies, and grew and condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It was no longer a stream, but gradually turned into a rushing river, flowing happily through the meridians that had been reinforced and widened by the runes!

More and more black dirt oozed out of his body, and even had a slight fishy smell.

But beneath this layer of dirt, his skin began to reveal a faint warm red luster, his muscle fibers became tighter, and a slight tingling sensation came from deep within his bones, as if he was undergoing reshaping.

This feeling... is so wonderful!

"Now is the time! Guide it, circulate it through the meridians, and strengthen the foundation!" Mingchuan saw the right opportunity and gave instructions.

Jizhou was blessed with spiritual power and no longer needed Mingchuan's meticulous spiritual guidance. His own spiritual power, which had grown several times stronger and had a distinct fiery attribute, began to circulate spontaneously along a more complex and mysterious route as if it had life.

This route vaguely matches the rhythm of earth and fire that he just realized. It is the sublimation of Mingchuan's previous guidance route, and it is more suitable for his current state!

One small Zhoutian, two small Zhoutian...

With each cycle of spiritual power, it becomes more condensed and its connection with the physical body becomes closer.

The pain that washed away the meridians and marrow quickly subsided, and was replaced by an indescribable sense of comfort and strength!

It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders, and as if my entire body had become a conductor of energy, light and full of energy.

The aura emanating from his body began to rise steadily!

The bottleneck of cultivation that had been stagnant due to the complexity of the techniques was easily broken through like thin paper under the impact of the domineering and pure energy of the Earth Fire Red Lotus!

The middle stage of Qi Refining... the late stage of Qi Refining... until the great perfection of Qi Refining!

Its momentum has not yet stopped, and the tremendous energy is still pushing his cultivation to a higher level!

However, just as Jizhou was immersed in the pleasure of his rapid cultivation, Mingchuan's gaze became increasingly solemn as he looked towards the lava lake.

The bubbles in the center of the lake became more and more numerous and larger, and the entire lake surface seemed to be boiling.

The ancient and burning aura became clearer and clearer, even carrying a hint of... furious will!

"Gu dong... gu dong..."

A huge, muffled sound like a heartbeat came from the bottom of the lake, shaking the entire depression.

The magma in the center of the lake began to bulge upward, as if some huge monster was about to break through the surface of the lake and break free!

Mingchuan's eyes flashed, and the ancient jade in his sleeve slid silently into his palm, emitting a faint light.

The cleansing of Jizhou has come to an end, but the indigenous people deep in this secret realm have clearly been completely alarmed...
