<h4>Chapter 158: Dao Fire</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios
The Book of the World was boundless. When Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force entered it, it was engulfed by its limitless content. Fortunately, Di Jiu knew what he wanted. Now was not the right time to analyze the Book of the World. He would have a lot of time to do so once he left the Sky Screen.
His Spiritual Force immediatelynded on the me, as he wanted to know how he could collect it. How could he possibly collect the me, when he could not even get close to the ming mountain?
Di Jiu was lucky. He found the me introduction quickly.
However, he was a little shocked when he read it. Simply looking at the various names of mes was quite an unpleasant experience. There were at least 100 million different mes.
Di Jiu did not understand. If there were so many mes in the universe, why were they still so rare?
He finally understood why when he continued reading. Although there were a lot of mes in the universe, valuable mes were few and far between, amounting to less than 1,000 types.
The most representative mes among them were the 108 types of Heaven Earth mes, including the Big Dipper me that ranked 36th and the Earth Fiend me that ranked 72nd.
When he reached this point, Di Jiu really wanted to know what kind of me the blue me floating on the mountain peak was. There were several mes among the 108 different kinds of mes that were blue in color. He had to obtain the me before he found out what it was exactly.
Di Jiu was more concerned about whether it was an upgradable me, for only then would any me possess the possibility to be the most powerful me. This included the me called Dao fire.
The term ‘Dao fire’ was just an umbre term. It was actually not one of the 108 kinds of Heaven Earth mes. This type of me was a product of the cultivator. The Dao fire was rted to the cultivator’s body, potential and Dao force. Henceforth, the strength of one’s Dao fire would differ. Cultivators with higher potential and a more powerful Dao would condense more powerful mes.
Every cultivator could condense their own mes when their cultivation reached a certain height, such as the Internal me at the Qi Refinement Realm, the Foundation Establishment Quintessential me at the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Golden Core Quintessential me at the Golden Core Realm, and the Essence Soul Quintessential me at the Essence Soul Realm...
The Dao fire was different from the Quintessential me of a cultivator, yet the Dao fire formed had to bebined with the cultivator’s Quintessential me.
The me condensed from thebination of one’s Dao force and Quintessential me was the Dao fire.
ording to the Book of the World, the most dangerous part of Dao fire condensation was the Dao nirvana. 90 percent of cultivators who had condensed a Dao fire would die after the Dao nirvana. The mostmon way of death during the Dao fire condensation was burning to death.
After the Dao fire was formed, it could be given a name by the cultivator. Good Dao fires would upgrade very fast, while the Dao fire could engulf all other types of mes in the universe to upgrade.
Di Jiu was excited. Although the Book of the World did not mention how high one’s cultivation had to be so they could form their own Dao fire, he felt an intense desire to condense his own Dao fire.
The Book of the World also failed to mention how one could condense a Dao fire. However, this did not prevent Di Jiu from being determined to condense his own Dao fire.
Dao fire condensation was a very risky endeavor. Banking on the gray stone he possessed, Di Jiu decided to take a risk and try it. The moment there was any danger, he would ask for help from the gray stone bymunicating with his Spiritual Force. Broken meridians could be automatically healed, so he refused to believe that a Dao fire condensation would take his life away. It might be risky for other people, but not necessarily for him.
Di Jiu retracted the Spiritual Force from the Book of the World. After warning Little Tree not to disturb him, he sat carefully on top of the blue spirit meridian.
He had never condensed a Dao fire before, so this would be his first attempt. He had thought of all possible scenarios and had decided to sit on top of the blue spirit meridian because he was worried that the Spirit Qi would be insufficient.
There was a vague gxy in his starry sky meridian and nine twinkling stars in the gxy. His Golden Core Quintessential me was condensed by these nine stars.
A ball of light red me floated in Di Jiu’s starry sky meridian. The me looked gentle. Di Jiu started to slowly circte the Gxy Art in an attempt to make the Quintessential Essence formed from the Qi Cirction touch the Golden Core Quintessential me.
This was only an attempt on his part, as he did not know how to condense a Dao fire.
After several Qi Circtions, there was no reaction from the Golden Core Quintessential me within his starry sky meridian. Di Jiu frowned. He knew that it must be too early for him to be condensing a Dao fire at this cultivation stage.
The reason the Dao fire was called this way was naturally because it was a me that merged with one’s Dao. He had yet to evene in contact with his own Dao, so it would be difficult for him to condense a Dao fire.
Even after more than 10 Qi Circtions, there was still no reaction. Di Jiu attempted to send his vague understanding of the Daow into his Golden Core me.
His understanding of the Daow mostly came from the gray stone. It was because of the gray stone that he had captured a bit of thew aura. As a result, his Split-Wave Saber Move, Sky Screen Saber Move, Gathering Peaks and Furious Waves had be great magic techniques that surpassed the techniques of average cultivators.
Di Jiu suspected that these four techniques had exceeded the capabilities of magic techniques and were almost the equivalent of divine powers.
Di Jiu had only read about divine powers on some jade slips.
The vague Daow he hadprehended thanks to his insight permeated the me and made it grow a little stronger. Di Jiu was pleased. He realized, however, that once he removed this Daow, the me would remain a Golden Core me.
After attempting this several times to no avail, Di Jiu started to separate the saber intent and the fist intent. He then pushed the saber intent and fist intent into the Golden Core Quintessential me multiple times. After many tries, Di Jiu was dispirited. He had unfortunately discovered that he was not able to condense his Golden Core me into a Dao fire, no matter which method he used.
Although it looked simple, it was very hard to aplish. Di Jiu felt dejected. He had never even heard of Dao fire condensation before, nor would it be possible to find any introduction jade slips in this area. This meant that he had no means of referencing this or gaining experience.
He was back at square one again. He had to search for a body-tempering cultivation technique before he headed to the ming mountain to refine the blue me.
Perhaps the Daow he sensed was too vague. Unwilling to give up, Di Jiu used his Spiritual Force tomunicate with the gray stone once again. In the gray stone was a Golden Dao Law whose origins Di Jiu had yet to understand. He sensed that if he merged this Golden Dao Law with his Golden Core Quintessential me, they could form a Dao fire.
When Di Jiu forcefully pushed the Daow aura within the gray stone into his starry sky meridian, an even clearer Daow appeared. The Gxy Art had justpleted a Qi Cirction, so the Dao aura it created came in contact with the Daow aura of the gray stone.
In an instant, Di Jiu saw a vast, boundless gxy and came into contact with the Essence Soul Realm he had been unable to reach previously. The Essence Soul Realm was actually very simple. It only required the formation of aplete gxy within his starry sky meridian...
Shortly after he sensed the true essence of this gxy, his own gxy started to form.
Di Jiu felt hot-blooded and suddenly stood up. His Quintessential Essence and Spiritual Force mmed against the barrier obstructing his cultivation to the Essence Soul Realm relentlessly. He had a premonition that he would gain a clear insight on that vast, boundless gxy once he attained the Essence Soul Realm.
His excitement made him forget that his Golden Core Quintessential me was still inside his starry sky meridian.
The moment his Dao force formed and broke through the Essence Soul Realm barrier, his Golden Core Quintessential me and the newly-formed Dao force collided.
Boom! It sounded like a pail of oil had sshed against a ming mountain with a burst of fire.
Di Jiu screamed in pain. He could not endure the me that had exploded within his starry sky meridian, even though it had originally been his own Golden Core Quintessential me. He suddenly understood what a Dao nirvana was. He was certain that the Dao nirvana only led to death.
Desperate and frantic, Di Jiu hurriedly activated the gray stone by using his Spiritual Force. He wanted to use the gray stone to heal his injuries faster. Otherwise, his starry sky meridian would be split open by the me and he would die.
Di Jiu was rmed when the gray stone did not save him. It refused to move, thus allowing the mes inside to continuously explode.
Di Jiu, who was anxious, quickly decided to keep circting the Gxy Art with increasing speed. Then, he attempted to break through to the Essence Soul Realm.
Meanwhile, he moved the frosty blue pearl into his starry sky meridian.
The moment the blue pearl entered, he sensed waves of frost travel from his starry sky meridian and make that terrifying burning sensation lessen.
Boom! The cirction of the Gxy Art caused Di Jiu’s Quintessential Essence Spiritual Force to m into the Essence Soul Realm barrier.
The barrier did not seem to move. Di Jiu might havee into contact with it, but it was still not easy to break through to the Essence Soul Realm.
Di Jiu grew more anxious. Although the blue pearl was in the starry sky meridian, it did not extinguish the mes. His Golden Core Quintessential me continued to grow increasingly stronger.
Violent, boundless mes suddenly engulfed Di Jiu. Little Tree, which stood some distance away, was shocked. It had never seen anyone cultivate until they were engulfed by mes. Qi Deviation did not happen this way either.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Almost simultaneously, more than 10 thick streaks of thundernded. The various Defense Arrays Di Jiu had set up inside the cave abode were like paper against these thunder streaks.
Shocked, Little Tree quickly rushed out of the cave abode. It would bemitting suicide if it stayed there, regardless of whether these were the mes of the Thunder Tribtion.
