However, the embryonic Emperor Flame was a fusion of many Heavenly Flames.
Even though each Heavenly Flame had now separated a portion of its energy, the embryonic Emperor Flame still towered above any single Heavenly Flame.
The jade-like Earth Fire Lotus Seed sank into the embryonic Emperor Flame, and the pure fire-attribute energy contained within it immediately stimulated the weakened embryonic Emperor Flame, which had been greatly diminished by the separation of the other Heavenly Flames.
Brilliant light flashed as the embryonic Emperor Flame surged violently.
In an instant, the temperature throughout the entire Infinite Fire Domain rose sharply.
The Infinite Fire Domain was a unique place within Xiao Yan's body where energy gathered — vast beyond measure, endless in scope, and utterly incomparable to what any ordinary person could possess. Within the same rank, it was absolutely invincible.
Even if someone surpassed Xiao Yan by an entire great realm, they would likely only barely be able to match the Dou Qi within his body.
Not everyone could cultivate a Heaven-rank technique, nor did everyone have the chance to obtain an extraordinarily rare Spirit Core.Even fewer could ever fuse their Dou Qi whirlpool with such a Spirit Core.
The existence of multiple Heavenly Flames meant that Xiao Yan no longer feared the limits of heaven and earth's energy. He could absorb endlessly, refining at speeds far beyond any other, and the energy he refined was extraordinarily pure.
The former disadvantage of having scarce Dou Qi during the early stages of cultivation no longer existed — in fact, Xiao Yan now possessed what was nearly an inexhaustible reservoir of Dou Qi.
And this was only the smallest benefit brought about by the Infinite Fire Domain.
Opening the Infinite Fire Domain and using it to house the Heavenly Flames ranked on the Heavenly Flame List was only the most preliminary stage.The ultimate vision was to contain even more flames — transforming it into a terrifying world of fire.
By then, anyone who faced Xiao Yan would not merely be facing him alone.
Such a unique internal space meant that even the embryonic Emperor Flame's power could influence the entire domain.
From this alone, it could be seen that — even as an embryonic form — its power was unimaginably terrifying.
As the temperature continued to soar, what was once a tranquil, endless sea became turbulent and boiling, as if it were about to evaporate entirely.
Within the Infinite Fire Domain, thick white mist rose continuously, spreading swiftly throughout, giving the world a dreamlike, immortal atmosphere.
Countless liquid energy streams evaporated under this intense heat, transforming into light, airy currents that intertwined and danced at the height where the Heavenly Flames hovered.
The Heavenly Flames surrounding the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds greedily absorbed this pure energy.
They glimmered with various colors — red, green, purple — like countless dazzling stars in the night sky, flickering gently with mesmerizing brilliance.
Among them all, the one absorbing energy the fastest was undoubtedly the embryonic Emperor Flame!
The radiant flames were shrouded by a fog of vaporous energy. The embryonic Emperor Flame roared like a raging beast, surging and transforming into a blazing mass of fire.
The Earth Fire Lotus Seed, which would normally take a hundred years to form, was completely refined under the violent incineration of the embryonic Emperor Flame in just a short moment, releasing all of its energy.
Within the brilliant flames, a single strand of azure light stood out most vividly.
At that moment, a surge of soul power suddenly reached deep into the embryonic Emperor Flame — like a master painter firmly taking hold of his brush.
That unique azure light, under the guidance of this soul power, began to flow within the embryonic Emperor Flame along a mysterious and graceful trajectory.
At first, the azure glow moved slowly, like morning dew sliding gently down the edge of a leaf — calm and tranquil.
However, as time passed, its speed gradually increased, growing ever faster and more fluid.
Eventually, the flow of the azure light reached an astonishing velocity, forming in one seamless motion the outline of a Green Lotus.
This pattern was completely formed from the cyan energy refined out of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed — equivalent to a seedling of the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Only someone with Xiao Yan's exceptional comprehension could, through his deep understanding of the Green Lotus Core Flame, use the Earth Fire Lotus Seed — its natural companion — to swiftly condense a new Green Lotus Core Flame.
Thus, the embryonic Emperor Flame, which had previously been stripped of the Green Lotus Core Flame, once again gained one of its kind.
The radiant flames surged, reforming into a lotus composed of countless fiery patterns, with the core of the Emperor Flame resting at its center.
Observing the eleven types of Heavenly Flames within his Infinite Fire Domain, Xiao Yan's spirit stirred with excitement.
At last, the cultivation of the Green Lotus Creation Codex had reached its introductory stage — it was time to begin training in its true essence: the Awakening of the Heavenly Flames!
Like a meditating monk, Xiao Yan once again began to move. His hands formed mysterious hand seals one after another.
With each seal he completed, the blood seal at his brow flickered with a crimson light, and streams of soul power flowed ceaselessly from his forehead into the Infinite Fire Domain.
The soul power that had long adhered to the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds seemed to respond to this call, writhing slowly as it guided the Heavenly Flames resting upon them.
At the center of the Infinite Fire Domain, the embryonic Emperor Flame's terrifying temperature showed no sign of lessening. It blazed like a brilliant sun hanging in the sky.The ten Heavenly Flames that had been separated from it immediately felt its pressure, and their flames became restrained, sinking deeply into their respective Earth Fire Lotus Seeds.
The Emperor Flame had originated from twenty-two Heavenly Flames and ultimately stood above them all. Though only in its embryonic stage, it still had a long path of growth ahead and did not yet require the aid of the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds to take shape.
Xiao Yan's hand seals shifted rapidly. The newly infused streams of soul power within the Infinite Fire Domain transformed into countless mysterious runes, each carrying the searing heat of the embryonic Emperor Flame as they shot into the ten Earth Fire Lotus Seeds.
Most importantly, each rune infused into each Earth Fire Lotus Seed was different from the others.
Every Heavenly Flame possessed its own unique traits, and so the method to awaken each Heavenly Flame's spirit was also distinct.
As his cultivation delved deeper, Xiao Yan's focus became sharper than ever.Using the Infinite Fire Domain as his cauldron, he continually controlled the temperatures of the embryonic Emperor Flame and the Heavenly Flames atop the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds, tempering them with his soul power.
The process of Awakening the Heavenly Flames drew inspiration from the art of refining high-grade pills — pills that possessed extraordinary spiritual awareness — but this process was not identical to alchemy.
Once the awakening was complete, each Heavenly Flame would not only possess the form and intelligence of a human being, but would also master its own techniques and Dou Skills.
To create an existence like that — one that could directly wield martial techniques and skills — was something no alchemist in history had ever achieved.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's body seemed to transform into a great, ceaselessly operating machine. While continuously absorbing energy from the magma world, his soul power kept refining the ten Earth Fire Lotus Seeds.
Among these ten, the one attached to the Green Lotus Core Flame was the most special — it was the first to show faint signs of sentience.
That Heavenly Flame was unique among them all — it was a true, naturally formed wild Heavenly Flame, whereas the others had been forged through various methods by Xiao Yan himself.
Sensing the faint emotions emanating from that pure cyan Earth Fire Lotus Seed, Xiao Yan's heart softened, and he devoted even greater attention to it.
