Lin Yitang and the Fire Spirit Wolf faced off for a moment, then the demon wolf could no longer restrain itself, let out a long howl, and pounced.

It opened its blood-red maw, its sharp fangs coated with scorching flames, and its claws glowed with crimson fire, as it lunged at Lin Yitang with a destructive force.

Lin Yitang's expression was solemn, his spiritual power surged, and he formed hand seals to unleash the Fire Phoenix Technique.

A blazing flame condensed in her hand, swiftly transforming into a fire phoenix poised to take flight. This fire phoenix was larger and more powerful than any fire spell she usually cast, the size of a cauldron that a person could barely encircle, its power astonishing!

With a loud cry, the fire phoenix spread its wings, bringing with it a scorching heatwave as it charged towards the demon wolf. Seeing the danger, the fire spirit wolf quickly gathered its spiritual power, attempting to resist.

However, the Fire Phoenix Technique is one of Lin Yitang's most proficient advanced Five Elements spells. After being tempered by the spiritual energy in the Crimson Flame Cave, its power is even greater than before.

The Fire Phoenix and the Fire Spirit Wolf collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a dazzling burst of fire. Flames rolled, heat waves radiated, and the sound of the collision echoed throughout the Crimson Flame Cave.

Lin Yitang was secretly alarmed; the strength of this demonic wolf was indeed not to be underestimated. In the uniquely advantageous environment of the Crimson Flame Cave, its strength far surpassed that of an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. If it weren't for her, a normal early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would have been blasted to dust long ago.

Moreover, the Fire Spirit Wolf is a native demon of the Crimson Flame Cave, and the flames here help it more than they help Lin Yitang. Using pure fire magic, it is absolutely no match for the demon wolf.

No wonder the Crimson Flame Cave is called a dangerous place. Because of the existence of this demonic wolf, those in the late Foundation Establishment stage look down on this place, while those in the early and middle Foundation Establishment stages are no match for it. That's why you don't see anyone along the way.

With this in mind, Lin Yitang no longer held back. She channeled her spiritual power, her hands rapidly forming hand seals, unleashing her trump card—the Fire Refining Golden Needle!

Thin golden needles, as fine as hair, flew from her fingertips, quickly transforming into a rain of golden fire that enveloped the demon wolf with an aura of incineration.

The Fire Refining Needle was created by Lin Yitang by combining the magic of the metal and fire elements. After ten days of practice, its power has become even more astonishing, approaching twice the power of a high-level magic.

The Fire Spirit Wolf panicked upon sensing the terrifying power contained within the golden needle. It hurriedly gathered its spiritual energy to protect its entire body, but the speed of the Fire Refining Golden Needle was simply too fast, piercing through its defenses in the blink of an eye.

A piercing scream echoed through the Crimson Flame Cave, and the Fire Spirit Wolf's body turned to ashes in the golden rain of fire. Lin Yitang withdrew her spell, gently waving her sleeve to brush away the remaining sparks.

She gazed in the direction of the palace, a faint smile playing on her lips. The roadblocks were gone; now it was time to uncover the secrets of this palace!

Lin Yitang stepped into the abandoned palace, and the sight before her filled her with emotion.

The former glory is gone, replaced by devastated ruins. A faint smell of sulfur permeates the air, and the further one goes in, the higher the temperature and the stronger the flames become.

The surrounding walls were covered with burn marks, some even melted and dripping down, solidifying into strange shapes. Broken stone pillars and shattered bricks were scattered on the ground, as if a terrible calamity had taken place.

In this world where the heatwave almost melts people, Lin Yitang circulated her spiritual power to protect herself, but she could still feel the heat seeping through her skin and into her bones.

At the center of the ruins stands a huge stone monument.

The stone tablet was covered with cracks, and the inscriptions were blurred and illegible, seemingly recording the history and origin of the palace. Lin Yitang leaned closer to examine it and could barely make out some fragmented words.

"Divine Fire Sect...the fire-based lineage...a century-old heritage...blazing flames..."

"The Heavenly Fire Venerable... presiding over... Nascent Soul stage cultivation... Divine Fire Bow... True Lords from all walks of life come here to obtain it..."

Much of the writing was lost due to the corrosion and damage to the stone tablet. However, some key words and phrases still remain.

Lin Yitang was shocked. It turned out that this place used to be the territory of the Divine Fire Sect.

As the inner sect instructors have mentioned, the Divine Fire Sect was a major cultivation sect in ancient times, but it declined and perished a thousand years ago. Based on the timeline, it is estimated to be a sect from the ancient era.

Judging from the devastation of these ruins, it's highly likely that a fierce battle engulfed the entire palace in flames. And those flames have continued unabated for a thousand years, still radiating their power today.

She looked around and saw only charred marks everywhere, as if she could hear the screams of those burned to death. It was truly astonishing that those ancient cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage could leave such horrifying marks with a single blow.

A sense of awe rose in Lin Yitang's heart. Having just entered the world of cultivation, she had witnessed the terrifying power of the strong. This flame, still burning after a thousand years, contained energy that was unimaginably powerful in its heyday.

No wonder it's said that powerful cultivators can move mountains and fill seas, capable of anything. Just look at how this single strike left behind a massive Heavenly Fire Canyon, its flames still burning for a thousand years and possessing the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The battles between Nascent Soul cultivators must be even more spectacular!

For a moment, she felt a deep longing for the strong. If she could reach that level, what would she have to fear when walking in this world?

Lin Yitang secretly resolved to cultivate to the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stage, and then strive to explore her own path to ascension.

Just as Lin Yitang was immersed in the awe of the powerful being, a faint spiritual energy approached from afar, catching her attention.

She looked up alertly, only to find that there was no one around.

Immediately afterwards, clusters of flames suddenly emerged from the ruins, moving rapidly through the air with astonishing energy, as if about to launch an attack, yet also seemingly just wandering aimlessly.

Lin Yitang was startled and quickly assumed a defensive stance, watching the fireballs warily.

The fireballs drew closer, and Lin Yitang could feel the heat emanating from them. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to strike first. With a clear shout, the Water Dragon Technique materialized in her hand and hurtled towards one of the fireballs.

The water dragon collided with the fireball, producing a hissing sound, and the fireball was immediately extinguished. Lin Yitang quickly stepped forward and found a small, bright red creature lying on the ground, struggling and writhing.

It was about the size of a palm, resembling a blazing flame. It hissed when held in the hand, and the flickering flames condensed in a fixed area without any physical form.

She held the small flame in her hand and examined it closely. The creature had a human-like appearance, but lacked other human details. It had a head and limbs, but no facial features or internal organs; its entire body was composed of flames, making it look particularly strange.

However, Lin Yitang, who had attended school, easily recognized the little creature. She stared wide-eyed in shock, looking at the tiny creature in her palm in disbelief.

This is... the Fire Spirit!
