Chapter 324: Chapter 294: Subduing the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire

Amid these ruins lay enormous, grayish-white stone pillars, upon which were etched many exceptionally profound inscriptions.

’They look like ordinary stone, but thanks to these inscriptions, the material has become incredibly tough.’

’My Sword Pill barely even leaves a faint mark when it strikes them.’

Even Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but be amazed.

’These inscriptions are somewhat similar to the array I saw in the Beast God Tree Forbidden Land.’

’It seems these stone pillars are artifacts from the Upper Realm.’

’The ground here is completely different from the surroundings. It’s as if this structure from the Upper Realm simply smashed its way into the Secret Realm.’

’The Vermilion Bird Divine Beast might be connected to this as well.’

’Unfortunately, my knowledge of arrays is only at the fourth tier, not yet the fifth. I have no idea where to even begin studying the array on these pillars.’

Jiang Zuo thought with a touch of regret.

He circled the area. Stone pillars lay scattered everywhere.

Aside from them, there were only massive stone blocks.

It felt as if a giant altar had fallen into the Secret Realm.

After a full circle yielded no new discoveries, Jiang Zuo decided not to waste any more time.

He sat down on a stone, and with a flick of his wrist, a cyan flame appeared in his hand.

A fifth-tier Spirit Fire: the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire.

After a month, the Vermilion Bird had grown completely accustomed to the Little World.

Jiang Zuo had haggled with it, explaining that activating the accelerated cultivation in the Time Cultivation Tower would consume a massive amount of Spirit Stones.

In the end, the Vermilion Bird had reluctantly removed this fifth-tier Spirit Fire from the Vermilion Bird Divine Tree.

As a result, the Vermilion Bird Divine Tree had wilted considerably, becoming rather listless.

Clearly, the loss of this Spirit Fire had taken a significant toll on it.

Jiang Zuo circulated the Nine Flames Reincarnation Technique, refining and absorbing the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire.

Soon, another cyan Spirit Fire appeared on the wheel of flame behind Jiang Zuo’s back.

After some testing, a flicker of excitement crossed Jiang Zuo’s face.

The Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire truly lived up to its reputation as a Spirit Fire connected to a Divine Beast.

It was far more powerful than the Silent Spirit Fire, which was also a fifth-tier flame!

’Perhaps because I have a Fire Spirit Body, the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire allows me to undergo a certain degree of Flame Transformation.’

’In this state, I can use the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire to recover quickly from injuries.’

’Right now, my Five Elements Spirit Body isn’t at its full potential.’

’If the effects of my Five Elements Spirit Body were fully unleashed, I might be able to achieve complete Flame Transformation. Like the Vermilion Bird, I could instantly regenerate a severed arm by simply discarding it.’

’As long as my Spiritual Power holds out, I’ll be practically invincible.’

As he thought, Jiang Zuo silently circulated his Cultivation Technique.

In his Flame Transformation state, his entire body became a giant wreathed in cyan flames, as if he were wearing a suit of Flame Battle Armor.

’The second ability is that my flight speed is massively increased while in the Flame Transformation state!’

Jiang Zuo’s figure flickered, streaking through the air like a flash of cyan light.

In the next instant, he appeared several hundred meters away.

While using the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire, his speed had increased by nearly three times.

’Unfortunately, this state rapidly consumes the Spirit Fire’s power, so I can’t maintain it for long.’

’Once the Spirit Fire’s energy is depleted, it has to recover before I can use it again.’

’But it’s more than enough for combat.’

’After all, most fights don’t last that long anyway.’

Jiang Zuo dispersed the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire.

All in all, he was quite satisfied with the effects of the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire.

Especially its effect on his speed.

With his speed nearly tripled, he could now put up a decent fight even against a Manifestation Realm Cultivator.

’The Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire is the sixth Spirit Fire I’ve refined. I won’t be able to refine any new ones until I break through to the Dao Fruit Realm and begin cultivating the Fifth Layer of the technique.’

Jiang Zuo sensed the state of his Nine Flames Reincarnation Technique.

It felt fuller than ever, unable to accommodate any more Spirit Fires.

For the purpose of cultivation alone, Jiang Zuo wouldn’t have to worry about a lack of refined Spirit Fires until he reached the late stage of the Dao Fruit Realm.

’There’s still some time before I have to leave the Secret Realm. I’ll spend the rest of it crafting arrays.’

Jiang Zuo got busy once more.

He left the Demon Beasts within the Secret Realm for his pack of Spirit Beasts to handle, freeing himself up to focus on other matters.
