An angry voice echoed in the void, "Who dares to disturb my slumber?"
The blue flame twisted and turned, radiating a fierce energy that filled the surroundings. Tan Yun's expression remained calm as he replied, "It's me, Tan Yun. I seek your guidance."
The blue flame flickered for a moment before it gradually stabilized. "Tan Yun, you have the courage to call upon me. What do you wish to learn?"
Tan Yun took a deep breath and said, "I want to master the primordial fire and harness its power."
The blue flame surged with excitement. "Very well! But be warned, the path of mastering primordial fire is fraught with challenges. Are you prepared to face them?"
Tan Yun nodded firmly. "I am ready. I will not back down."
"Then let the trial begin!" The voice commanded, and the blue flame erupted into a vortex, engulfing Tan Yun completely.
As the fire consumed him, Tan Yun felt an overwhelming heat enveloping his body. It was as if he had been thrown into the depths of a volcano. Yet, he remained focused, channeling his spiritual sense to adapt to the intense flames.
In that moment, he recalled the teachings of the alchemical arts and began to visualize the fire within himself. He could feel the primordial flame responding to his will, burning brighter and purer.
Suddenly, Tan Yun's mind was flooded with images of various fire techniques, each more powerful than the last. He understood that he needed to refine his control over the flames, merging them with his own essence.
With determination, Tan Yun immersed himself in the trial. Hours turned into days as he continuously experimented with different techniques, each attempt pushing him closer to mastery.
Finally, after an arduous journey, Tan Yun felt a shift within him. The blue flame had become a part of his core, resonating with his spirit. He had not only mastered the primordial fire but had also unlocked its deeper secrets.
With a triumphant heart, Tan Yun finally emerged from the fiery vortex, the blue flame dancing around him, signifying his success.
"You have done well, Tan Yun," the voice boomed, filled with pride. "You are now capable of wielding the primordial fire. Use it wisely, for it is both a gift and a curse."
Tan Yun bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your guidance. I will honor this power and use it for the greater good."
As the blue flame receded, Tan Yun felt a surge of energy coursing through him. His journey was just beginning, but with the mastery of the primordial fire, he was ready to face any challenge that lay ahead.
The cursing abruptly stopped as it hovered in front of Tan Yun, the voice turning fierce: “Human, who do you think you are?!”
Tan Yun couldn’t be bothered to waste words with the true spiritual heavenly fire. He controlled the primordial flame and rushed forward, wrapping it inside to begin a frenzied burning and refinement!
“Ah! Damn human, what kind of flame is this that can devour me!”
“No... you despicable and vile human…”
“…”
Tan Yun immediately activated a soundproof barrier, blocking out the noise from his ears.
For the following time, the true spiritual heavenly fire continued to curse non-stop until after one hundred thirty years, it finally stopped its insults, completely devoured by the primordial flame.
“Whoosh—”
Suddenly, the purple primordial flame surged in size from three hundred zhang to seven hundred zhang, emanating an aura of eighth-grade minor achievement!
This indicated that, after the primordial flame consumed the true spiritual heavenly fire, it progressed from the sixth-level pinnacle, sequentially passing through the early, minor achievement, major achievement, and pinnacle stages of the seventh grade, finally reaching the early stage of the eighth grade, and then achieving minor success in the eighth grade!
Now, the primordial flame possessed the power to burn mid-grade sub-immortal artifacts to nothingness.
Its power was only second to the eighth-grade major achievement of primordial ice flame.
Tan Yun nodded in satisfaction, and in an instant, the primordial flame transformed into a long purple river stretching a thousand zhang.
