“The Pure Fire itself seems to possess the property of encompassing external things,” Xi Heng sensed.

No wonder this thing was able to absorb so much death energy and resentment, and even persisted for thousands of years while being constantly infused with resentment.

At the same time, she also gained more confidence in this promotion.

Xi Heng raised three fingers and pinched the glassy fake core that caused the white flame vortex. When the vibration of spiritual energy in her chest and abdomen became so intense that she could hardly contain it, she brought it to her lips.

After swallowing a fake pill, a burning sensation spread.

Xi Heng immediately transformed into raging flames and sent the fake elixir into his dantian.

An extremely dense vortex of spiritual light drew this object to its center, and the white flames that had been circulating around the fake core began to rotate around it.

The Pure Fire is accepting her, and at the same time, it is permeating her with its unique properties.

"It seems like I've been purified once?" Xi Heng frowned slightly, but he couldn't feel any significant changes in himself.

She had probably just become the pure person the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld had described as having a peaceful mind, a strong body, and a long lifespan—she recalled what she had heard back then.

After the purification process, the Fire Spirit's acceptance of her increased even further.

The purifying fire that circulated directly seeped into her clothes, even penetrating her skin and flowing into her meridians.

At the same time, it draws in a large amount of spiritual energy.

With this fake pill inside his body, Xi Heng could use it as a center to further increase the already viscous concentration of spiritual energy.

As the wind blew, spiritual energy surged in wave after wave, like a great tide.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, obscuring the originally clear blue sky and making the world appear gloomy.

Sparks of lightning flashed from the dark clouds, accompanied by occasional muffled thuds.

However, there will be no heavenly tribulation when advancing to the False Core stage. Xi Heng only observes the changes within himself and continues to absorb spiritual light to promote the breakthrough of his realm.

The fake core was already gathered pure fire, and her advancement this time was even smoother than her advancement as the leader of the Seven Sect Alliance in her previous life.

During her promotion, Xi Heng truly felt that the small patch of pure fire around her had become a part of her, like an extension of her limbs, flowing naturally according to her thoughts.

At the same time, the permissions of the other Purifying Fire clones stationed at distant locations are also being opened to her. She can now activate the Soul Locking Array illusion in almost every part of the Fire Hell, or teleport those who are close to the Purifying Fire away.

"wonderful……"

The spiritual energy continued to surge, permeating her meridians, flesh, and mind.

Other high-ranking cultivators from the Fire Hell also arrived at the same time.

When they first witnessed this celestial phenomenon of ascension, they did not know what was happening. It was only after a long time that they began to have some vague guesses.

However, as soon as these people arrived, they were enveloped by a rotating spiritual light, and after a moment of confusion, they were teleported to the edge of the infernal realm and trapped by the illusion of gray mist.

After dealing with the external disturbances, Xi Heng's fake core began to merge with his physical body, their auras influencing each other and becoming one.

A feeling of shattered limitations settled in my heart.

She heard many light, crisp popping sounds coming from her chest, like the cracking of bones.

After a long time, the false elixir and the physical body merged into one. Xi Heng's mind trembled slightly, and his body felt as if it were undergoing a baptism, experiencing waves of cleansing.

A faint light appeared behind her head, forming a peculiar ring, before slowly disappearing.

Xi Heng slightly opened his eyes, and blue and white colors flowed between his pupils.

A voice reached her ears.

"Who are you? "

The sound was soft, like a babbling brook, with a hint of confusion.

Before Xi Heng could answer, he saw that his body was covered with glowing cracks due to the excessive amount of pure fire he had absorbed.

Even at the Pseudo-Core Formation stage, she couldn't withstand the impact of excessive Pure Fire. In no time, her body surface was covered with countless fine marks, like shattered porcelain.

Xi Heng felt confident that he could suppress the cracks and maintain a stable physical condition using the Qingyan Technique, which would allow him to live for at least several decades or even a hundred years longer after successfully advancing in his cultivation.

This event is enough to quell the danger of Hellfire and prolong the future of this world.

but……

"I've achieved all my goals in this life, so let it go," the girl thought to herself.

She let the white light from the cracks on her body grow more and more intense, watching her fingertips crumble and fall away.

"I can save you..." the voice in the pure fire whispered.

"Thank you, Yin Wanluan," Xi Heng replied gently, "However, there's no need."

Finally, she took out a white phoenix feather from her inventory, placed it in the center of the clean fire for Yin Wanluan, and then closed her eyes.

A moment later, his consciousness gradually faded.

When I opened my eyes again, the pure fire that was filled with white light was no longer before me.

Instead, a gray space appeared, with the words "load save" floating in front of you.

Xi Heng turned his head to look at the data panel next to him, staring intently at the realm column.

It can be seen that the words "Spiritual Cultivation" have changed from "Foundation Building" to "Golden Core".

……

Volume 1: Chapter 257, The Distant End

In the gray loading screen, Xi Heng's gaze quickly swept over the text on the side panel.

Skipping over the name, one can see the cultivation realm column, which prominently displays the words 'Spiritual Cultivation (Golden Core Realm)'.

"Finally..." she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been searching for the term "Golden Elixir" for decades.

As a result, his mental age has increased to ninety years old.

However, the upper limit has also increased considerably.

Mental age: 90/2077

"It's been more than three hundred years longer than before. As expected, the boost from advancing to a major realm far exceeds that from advancing to a minor realm..."

The total lifespan increase from all her realm advancements before reaching the Golden Core stage was only around eight hundred.

This time, the Golden Core advancement directly increased by three hundred.

This is a considerable amount for her.

"You've gained one more save point." The girl lowered her gaze and nodded.

Finally, the only thing to pay attention to is the save option.

Xi Heng hesitated for a moment when he saw this.

In this life, it seems she didn't specifically prepare anything to preserve.

In her previous lives, she could decide directly what to keep, but now she needed to think about it.

"Well……"

Xi Heng thought through all the things he had on him when he died, but couldn't find anything he wanted to keep.

"Or how about we keep the clothes and use them for everyday changing?" she clicked her tongue.

After a moment, he was still unwilling to make a decision, and then he thought back to when he was close to death, what was around him.

"It seems that there is nothing else besides the Pure Fire."

"Will preserving the Pure Fire this time be of any use?" Xi Heng wondered silently.

When she previously preserved the Pure Fire, the white flames of the Pure Fire were determined to be something without roots or source. Although it could be preserved, it seemed that it would immediately dissipate as soon as it was released.

However, today is slightly different from before.

She already possessed the source of the Pure Fire—the White Phoenix Feather—in her inventory.

With a source of replenishment, the purification fire is no longer an empty dream.

"If these two are kept together, it should be considered a complete cleansing of the fire." She touched the save column with her finger.

As thoughts shifted, a cluster of white flame patterns appeared on it.

Then came the mechanical reminder: This is something without roots or origin...

Xi Heng didn't look at it, and without hesitation confirmed that it was saved.

She has countless chances to reload, so it doesn't matter if she wastes even one.

Afterward, she sat down cross-legged to calm her mind, and once she was mentally refreshed, she reached out and pressed the save/load button.

The selected save file is naturally the last one, with a background of a sea of ​​blood and a city engulfed in flames, and thunder-wielding cultivators blocking the way.

She has already achieved the false core, and her strength in the Fire Hell has reached its peak.

In this life, she will use her own methods to save Yin Wanluan's life.

The girl took a deep breath and pressed her finger down.

The field of vision then distorted, layering layers of darkness amidst the changing and scouring sensations.

A moment later, Xi Heng slowly opened his eyes.

Then one could see a sea of ​​blood surging and roaring, and raging fire boiling wildly on all sides.

Dark clouds parted in the sky, a flash of blue light followed by thunder, and a muffled thud continued.

Ahead, a purple-robed cultivator gripped a thunderous longsword and pointed it directly at her, saying:

"If you don't move aside, you're all doomed!"

"These words sound so familiar." Xi Heng looked over.

She hadn't returned to this archive for a decade or two, but she still remembered the welcoming words.

Immediately afterwards, she removed the obscuring talisman from her waist, revealing her current realm and aura.

The power of the fake elixir immediately erupted, and the raging fire on all sides suddenly trembled, as if it had been met with a strong wind and was falling outwards.

The thunder that had been roaring across the sky stopped abruptly, and the noise subsided considerably.

From all directions, cultivators from both the Seven Sects Alliance and the Netherworld Sect ceased their battles and followed the aura from afar.

Although many of them were in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment, it was difficult to discern the source of this aura at this moment.

Only the leader of the Seven Alliances reacted first, stunned and incredulous, uttering two words:

"Golden Core Realm..."

The lightning in his hand, like a person, lost its power and dissipated into a chaotic mass of electricity.

"The method of creating a fake elixir?" the Seven Sect Alliance Leader asked anxiously. "When did you achieve this? How could you have done it?!"

"What you should be doing right now isn't asking these questions, is it?" Xi Heng tilted his head, his tone quite calm: "Aren't you going to make way?"

The other person opened their mouth, but no sound came out, as if they had a breath stuck in their stomach and could not calm it down.

But a few days later, he swallowed his anger.

The seven sect leaders, upon examining the surroundings, could not discern the true power of the fake pill through their divine sense, spiritual awareness, or other perceptions.

Ultimately, he backed down, turned to his own cultivators, and said in a deep voice:

"Get out..."

The cultivators at a distance also recognized the situation, and some even retreated hundreds of meters before the alliance leader spoke.

When the order came, birds and beasts naturally scattered.

Within ten seconds, the enemy cultivators stopped blocking the way.

A purple light spread out beside Xi Heng, gradually transforming into the appearance of the Holy Maiden of the Youxu Sect, who asked, "You... you were only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment just now, but now you have reached this level. How did you do it?"

Although she was rather aloof, she was still curious about what she saw today.

"Oh, I concealed my cultivation level before." Xi Heng casually made up an excuse and changed the subject, saying, "Let's go to the Pure Fire. Your true form is still waiting for me."

“…Hmm.” The woman in black robes murmured softly, and asked no further questions.

As she watched Xi Heng's retreating figure, a slight glint flashed in her eyes.

At the pseudo-core level, the white-haired girl's spiritual light reached its target in just a few seconds.
