Chapter 1580: Chapter 1106: Cram School Intensive Course_2

After undergoing a metamorphosis in the First Layer, Shi Hu felt utterly ashamed when he reflected on his past.

A future Divine Beast ought not to indulge in pleasure and become oblivious to pursuing Divine Power and the Great Dao. It was truly unbecoming.

Everything in this world is illusory; the pursuit of the supreme Great Dao is what is truly real.

"Ascend early to guard the peace of a world," Jiang Yuan patted its big head, feeling quite gratified that the hard-earned tool was not wasted!

Today, luck was indeed excellent, with Huo Jun’s ascension to Azure Dragon imminent; Shi Hu corrected his path, ensuring that future task progress would not be constantly delayed; when Little Lark arrives at the Land of the Far South with Vermilion Bird, he clicked to use the last Task Progress Acceleration Card, predicting a bright future for the Four Symbols Divine Beast.

The Wilderness World is finally saved!

Good news came one after another, and Lark couldn’t help but smack his lips in envy while munching on gossip in the group, "Sister Vermilion Bird, how long before we arrive at the Land of the Far South? I can’t wait to..."

Realizing the words seemed off, it scratched with its wing embarrassedly, quietly explaining, "I didn’t mean anything else, just seeing that predecessors Huo Jun and Shi Hu have both progressed greatly..."

Neither can be unambitious nor hastily replacing Sister Vermilion Bird, Little Lark felt no matter what he said was incorrect, leaving him to sigh deeply with a worried expression.

"Silly child, every cultivator desires ascension," Vermilion Bird laughed upon hearing it, "However, some are blessed with deep fortunes, obtaining ascension opportunities; others simply lack such destiny. You have smoothly refined the Divine Power I gifted you, desiring early ascension to Vermilion Bird is normal; as cultivators, we must be straightforward, no need to feign."

"The Azure Dragon will be in seclusion waiting to cross the tribulation; if luck is on its side, it might ascend with the arrival of spring. You too need to seize the time, let’s go to the Land of the Far South, where I’ll teach you the Fire Manipulation Technique."

Seeing the little one’s ambition, she felt deeply satisfied.

Thus, no longer did they leisurely roam mountains and waters, with a mere thought enveloping Little Lark in her wing, soaring over countless miles to directly reach the Land of the Far South.

"This is where you will undergo trials next," Vermilion Bird spread her wings, a scorching heat emanating.

Wherever one looked, there was lava everywhere!

Apart from the extreme heat waves, a faint black poison gas also permeated. In the boundless ocean of lava, Little Lark felt no fear but rather found great comfort, as it resonated well with the power within its body.

"Wow! So this is what the Land of the Far South looks like. I’ll capture it with the Memory Stone to share with everyone." It jumped into the lava, rolling over, flames ignited on its wings, emerging from the sea of lava, "Sister Vermilion Bird, Mr. Jiang said to notify him when I reach the trial area, he wants to lend his aid, can I message him now?"

She hadn’t seen such vibrant life in ages; watching the lively and adorable Little Lark, she nodded and chuckled, "Of course you can. I’m curious how Mr. Jiang, far away, intends to aid your trial?"

Changing angles, it captured the grandeur of the lava sea in the Memory Stone, sending pictures to the group and privately messaging Mr. Jiang with the travel update.

"I may not have fallen yet, but I am severely injured for many years," Vermilion Bird surveyed the surroundings, sighing, "Hence, the Land of the Far South isn’t severely blocked, yet signs of power circulation difficulty have emerged. The poison gas you see is merely the Energy of Fire unable to disperse promptly, leading to the accumulation of Fire Poison."

Occasional rumors exist, claiming the Land of the Far South suffers from aridity scourge. Actually, it’s this Fire Poison flowing out, which ordinary cultivators can’t fend off, causing many mountains and rivers to be eroded by Fire Poison.

You must learn the Fire Manipulation Technique, starting by purifying the poison gas; then learn to guide the energy of the lava sea using your internal Divine Power evenly, maintaining its smooth flow.

Lark tilted its head, blinking its big eyes, "How can I tell the lava sea is running smoothly?"

"It’s simple, see those floating black blocks? When you guide and manipulate without obstruction, these black spots disappear, and Fire Poison won’t regenerate. A smoothly circulating lava sea should be a boundless expanse of fiery red, fresh, and active."

It nodded as if partially understanding.

"Now, attempt to absorb the floating, smoky Fire Poison and employ your internal Divine Power to purify it," Vermilion Bird patiently guided.

Little Lark took a deep breath of the thick Fire Poison, instantly feeling the smoke chokingly fiery, making its eyes red. It dared not relax, stubbornly enduring the discomfort, clumsily using its internal Divine Power to eradicate the strands of Fire Poison.

Vermilion Bird nodded in approval, "Not bad, just like that. Don’t rush, take your time. Once you adapt to employing Divine Power, the purification speed will accelerate."

Only after refining that mouthful of Fire Poison did it dare to breathe easily, coughing incessantly, "Phew! Luckily it came early, and Sister Vermilion Bird is still here. If the blockage were serious here, merely purifying Fire Poison would be an enormous, greatly challenging task!"

"Indeed, the Extreme East, Extreme West, and Extreme North Secret Realms are actually better; even if blocked, at most, it would mean more war on the Wilderness, Spiritual Energy and Life gradually diminishing. But if the Land of the Far South gets blocked, there won’t be a summer in the Wilderness, and temperature imbalance would cause many beings to perish."

Stopping slightly, she smiled, "I wonder how Mr. Jiang plans to aid your trial, surely he won’t personally come to eliminate all the Fire Poison brewing here. If you can’t personally purify and train, you still won’t be adept at employing internal Divine Power."

Just as the words fell, Jiang Yuan from Conch Island freed up to send Lark a message, clicking to use the Task Progress Acceleration Card.

"Whoosh!"

A whirlwind suddenly swept across the magma sea.

As a Divine Bird, Vermilion Bird immediately sensed the unusual nature of the incoming breeze.

Before it could react, Lark saw the wind gathering countless dark Fire Poison rushing towards him! Yet its body didn’t respond, seemingly voluntarily flying towards the whirlwind!

"I’m about to collide!" it screamed inwardly, its mouth involuntarily widened, swallowing an unknown amount of potent Fire Poison.

Hot and choking to the point of death, yet refined and dissolved into the internal Divine Power automatically circulating.

Lark, shocked, suddenly realized, huh? So Divine Power is used like this!

With no control over the body, it let its mind wander. Only then did it realize, what Mr. Jiang meant by lending a hand probably was using such a frantic means to make him understand how to correctly circulate Divine Power!

"Isn’t this force-fed rapid cultivation?" Vermilion Bird had lived long enough, witnessing all sorts of scenarios.

Yet Mr. Jiang’s way of "helping" was truly unprecedented. Fortunately, Little Lark was smart enough, promptly grasping the knack of using Divine Power in times of crisis, otherwise potentially suffering severe injury!

She felt a surge of complex emotions but had to admit, the sudden forced infusion surpassed her steady guidance in speed.

Not only can it purify all Fire Poison within an exceedingly short period, but under extreme circumstances, compel the little one to unleash all potential to survive, just like now as it has already mastered properly circulating Divine Power.

The whirlwind continued to blow, seemingly gathering all floating poison gas.

"Turns out Divine Power is so powerful! I used it wrong before, hence couldn’t exert much influence." Lark observed changes throughout his body, despite being unable to control physically, diligently following the learning of breathing, circulating, and purifying.

Moments later, it was surprised to find itself gradually seizing control over its body!

Like an invisible master assisting silently, it discovered when letting the disciple try, would slightly relinquish control. Lark cautiously maneuvered Divine Power independently, initially awkward yet gradually becoming accustomed, with Fire Poison congregating around growing ever greater.

It fluttered amidst the black toxic mist, and as it grew proficient, the mysterious power controlling it diminished. Finally, Lark completely commandeered its body, spewing a patch of Divine Power Fire, enveloping the black cloud-like Fire Poison!

"Well done!" Vermilion Bird beamed with delight, loudly praising.

According to her plan, it was meant to give the youngster time to understand Fire Poison, gradually swallowing it one mouthful at a time, learning to control Divine Power through the stimulation of Fire Poison. Once proficient step by step, it would attempt to release internal Divine Power Fire to gradually purify external poison gas.

Hard to say how Mr. Jiang managed it, but the stroke of genius fiercely pushed Little Lark, instantly mastering Divine Power and intuitively executing that flame emission.

Given the current cultivation pace, Little Lark’s ascension was just around the corner!
