Sitting cross-legged in silence for a while, Xiao Yan completely emptied his mind of distractions, and once again recalled in detail the profound content of the Green Lotus Creation Codex within his mind.He carefully pondered over every word, every phrase, and every hand seal, analyzing each one with utmost precision.
After confirming there were no mistakes, Xiao Yan lightly nodded. His hands began to move swiftly, weaving through the air like plucking flowers and leaves, forming one mysterious and profound hand seal after another.
Immediately after, he did not hesitate — he began the process of replacing his cultivation method, devoting his full attention to the process of cultivation.
Ordinarily, the Flame Mantra was a cultivation method that could not be replaced halfway. The only possible method was to abolish all Dou Qi and start anew.However, that restriction only applied when there was no cultivation method of the same origin.
Since Xiao Yan's newly derived methods all originated from the Flame Mantra, each cultivation method he had ever created or deduced was closely related to it. Naturally, this allowed him to make transitions midway.
Although the changes in the Green Lotus Creation Codex were vast, its compatibility strengthened with each transition of the Flame Mantra series, so replacing it posed no problem.
When Xiao Yan completed the final hand seal, his entire being instantly sank into a deep cultivation state.
His robust body trembled violently, as though an invisible force surged within him, and in the next moment, waves of energy rippled outward, spreading rapidly across the entire magma world.
This force seemed to carry a mysterious resonance, causing the entire magma realm to tremble as though it were pulsing in rhythm with his cultivation.
Both Zi Yan, who was suspended above the magma, and the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent submerged beneath it, were utterly stunned as they watched the magma's surface ripple endlessly — as if an unseen storm raged beneath.
"What is happening inside the magma world?"
However, this was not something they needed to investigate deeply.
Now, it was time for them to begin cultivating as well.
The Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent had naturally been released by Xiao Yan from the Beast Storage Ring upon entering the underground world.
The Beast Storage Ring contained very little natural energy. Xiao Yan did not know how long his cultivation would last; if the serpent remained inside, it would have no chance to cultivate at all.
Zi Yan slowly descended, landing atop one of the serpent's heads, and began cultivating the Zi Yan Refining Essence Supreme Art.
The quasi-Heaven Rank cultivation technique activated, and the endless magma immediately erupted with torrents of fiery energy, surging wildly into Zi Yan's body.
The Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, though cultivating a lower-tier method than the Amethyst Winged Lion King, still clearly felt that its absorption speed of the magma's energy had increased severalfold — even tenfold.
For magical beasts of other elements, this magma world was nearly a deathtrap.But for the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, it was a rare and perfect training ground.
Like a meditating monk, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in the cyan-glowing world for half a day, smoothly completing the replacement of his cultivation technique with the Green Lotus Creation Codex.
Once the replacement was done, Xiao Yan's energy absorption rate dropped dramatically — almost like a straight plunge downward.
The rank and effectiveness of the Green Lotus Creation Codex were deeply connected — inseparable from — the number of Heavenly Flames that had been awakened with sentience.
Only by awakening more Heavenly Flames could this cultivation method's rank rise higher, reaching greater realms.
Focusing his spirit, Xiao Yan gazed intently at the center of the infinite sea of fire.
There, a lotus floated in midair, upon which dazzling flames burned fiercely.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan poured all the remaining power of his soul into it.
That embryonic Emperor Flame, formed from the fusion of multiple Heavenly Flames, began to gradually disintegrate under the influence of his soul power.
The brilliant embryonic flame spun rapidly, forming a vast vortex of fire. Brilliant rays of light burst forth from within, streaking across the fiery world like shooting stars through the night sky.
With each burst of light, the embryonic Emperor Flame dimmed slightly, and its temperature lowered as well.
At the same time, the soul power that Xiao Yan had wrapped around the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds began to weaken.
On one of the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds, his soul power slowly condensed into the form of a hand, poised and ready.
As the embryonic Emperor Flame spun faster and faster, Xiao Yan's mastery of the Green Lotus Creation Codex grew more refined. Within the endless sea of fire, a thick cyan radiance began to bloom.
The Green Lotus Core Flame was the first to be separated!
In that instant, the cyan hand formed atop the Earth Fire Lotus Seed suddenly shot forward. What had been the size of a dragon's eye expanded rapidly as it met the air.
By the time it reached the seed of the Green Lotus Core Flame, the cyan hand had grown as large as a basin. It grabbed the flame tightly — and instantly shrank back.
The Green Lotus Core Flame, having already been fused with Xiao Yan for many days, did not erupt even as it was separated from the embryonic Emperor Flame.
With a flash of azure light, the Green Lotus Core Flame instantly enveloped the Earth Fire Lotus Seed.
The Earth Fire Lotus Seed had been born alongside the Green Lotus Core Flame — they were natural companions.When the two merged, they became perfectly harmonious.
It was known that an Earth Fire Lotus Seed required a hundred years to form. The Green Lotus Platform had contained eleven of them. In over a thousand years, the Green Lotus Core Flame had never harmed these seeds in the slightest.
Even now, though the lotus platform itself was gone, the Green Lotus Core Flame merely adhered quietly to the seed's surface.
After carefully observing for a while, Xiao Yan gained a deeper understanding, then accelerated the rotation of the embryonic Emperor Flame.
Profound Yellow Flame, Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, Yin-Yang Dual Flame, Netherworld Poison Flame...
One Heavenly Flame after another was separated out, and the soul power on each Earth Fire Lotus Seed reached out to seize one of them.
Each Heavenly Flame was born at a different time and possessed differing levels of power.Yet now, each one anchored upon an Earth Fire Lotus Seed displayed a strength nearly equal to that of the Green Lotus Core Flame.
After personally cultivating the Green Lotus Creation Codex, Xiao Yan gained a new perspective on his internal state.
In truth, the so-called Emperor Flame did not naturally exist within heaven and earth — it was created only through the fusion of many Heavenly Flames.
Blindly separating all the Heavenly Flames that composed the embryonic Emperor Flame would not only cost him that mighty composite flame, but could also cause some flames — those stronger than the Green Lotus Core Flame — to overheat and burn away the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds too quickly.
The first risk would mean the loss of a Heavenly Flame, while the second would be far more severe — damaging his cultivation in the Green Lotus Creation Codex.
Thus, in separating the embryonic Emperor Flame, Xiao Yan did not completely expel all the Heavenly Flames from his body.He preserved a portion of its structure — ensuring his own balance — while also limiting the separated flames so that none surpassed the Green Lotus Core Flame in strength.
When the final Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame was extracted from the embryonic Emperor Flame, all ten Heavenly Flames had been completely separated.
However, the eleven Earth Fire Lotus Seeds were not all used.
The last Earth Fire Lotus Seed's soul power did not take the shape of a hand. Instead, all of its soul energy condensed tightly, bursting with a dazzling cyan light.
That tiny Earth Fire Lotus Seed, like a miniature meteor, shot rapidly toward the center of the endless sea of fire — straight into the heart of the embryonic Emperor Flame.
Thus, all eleven Earth Fire Lotus Seeds were fully utilized, without the slightest waste.
